Knowledge And Knowing Are Two Different Things






Hope.  It's a convenient word for some.  Heck, some even use it for a campaign slogan.  Who can forget the infamous slogan "Hope with Dope" back in 1942?   Christopher Dope lost that year but it was a rather catchy phrase.  Even in recent times "hope" has inspired millions to elect someone to office.  "Hope and Change" will not be soon forgotten.  Or has it?  You see, I noticed something about this slogan that seems to be further from a reality than ever before.  Let's take a look at these two words that brought a country together in a campaign that polarized a nation like never before.  (Not absolutely positive on the "like never before" but I only say that to give it the emphasis it deserves.)  On one side there was republicans.  Or as some of you may know them, the racists.  And on the other side was the democrats - the enlightened ones.  Now back in 2006 and 2007, a lot of you didn't realize (or it was a highly guarded secret) that every republican was a racist.  Hatred for the men and women of African descent (I realize that most black men and women in the United States are born in the United States but the term African American must receive it's authority from somewhere) has always been evident in the republican party.  The image of the lynched man hanging from a tree can be found in most campaign posters if you look hard enough.



It's just in the DNA of most racist men and women who hide behind cute little sayings such as "less government" and "promote small business" and "flat tax".  The problem with racism, for many years, has been the discrimination of good, highly qualified candidates from elected office.  It's rare to see men such as Mr. Jessie Jackson, Jr. who attain higher office and then unfairly get thrown into jail on some trumped up charges.  So, against all odds, and with very little help from Hollywood or the media, the honorable Barrack Hussein Obama was crowned. And when I say crowned, it wasn't really a crowning.  It was more of an exaltation.  The future for America/United States of was bright and unlimited.  His office would be one filled with transparency and idealism.  No more racial divide.  No more knit picking and in-fighting between the parties.  And transparency.  Lots of transparency.  (No more Bush secrecy and such.)   It was an awe-inspiring moment that dragged on for a few years.  To be honest I yawned a lot at all of the excitement.  Actually, to be honest, I've been anti-Obama since 2006.  And to be honest, I've wanted his POLICIES to fail.  Let me repeat that - I've wanted his POLICIES to fail.  You see, for those who yell racism at every speech and every other sentence, they really don't understand how someone like me, a mixed breed of Hispanic, Indian, Irish, German and perhaps twenty others I don't know about, could oppose the exalted royalty.  It's his agenda and ideology, stupid.  I oppose just as strongly the other men and women, white, black, Asian, or whatever their DNA happens to make them, that promote the failure of the United States.  And what really chaffs my butt is the misuse of the word "racism" to hide failure.  And un-accountability.  And criminal conduct.  And the royal treatment to million dollar vacations every other week.  I may have exaggerated on that last one but not by much.


But lately, I've noticed something else.  Something chaffing the nether unmentionable regions.  The ability of a president to know so little about anything going on.  Benghazi, the IRS, the Secret Service, the Fast and Furious program to name just a few of so many. And now, the latest "I was not aware" scandal - the wait lists (or as the common person might call them - "death row" that our service people are put on awaiting treatment guaranteed through the government run health care system for veterans.  He (obama) was not aware until the media reported it.  Were you aware before the President of the United States was of this situation?  It's possible if you know a veteran.  Apparently community organizers don't know a lot of veterans.  It just never came up during any of his golf outings or security briefings.


If only he had a staff of advisors who were aware of such things.  If only the teleprompter had said something.  But no - he just doesn't know or is aware until CNN or MSNBC mentions it.  Clueless is not at the top of my list for desired traits of the man who holds the briefcase with the nuclear missile launch codes.  You know what I mean?  If he really doesn't know about anything except what the press allows him to know then maybe I should move to a country where the press has a little bit more freedom like Venezuela or Cuba.  Is the President of the United States actually that unaware of what's going on in his own government and other areas of vital concern or is he just stupid. Or is he so aware that he is criminally negligent?  This is a question every one in this world must ask themselves.  And I say world because, as I mentioned before, Obama, the clown, is in charge of a nuclear arsenal.  He is in charge of many things.  If Barrack Obama actually figures out the numbered lock on the briefcase we could be in trouble.  I guess this makes me a racist.  So, if you're like me, and you don't like the policies and agenda of the most mis-informed man on the planet, you should check yourself into the next available program that teaches diversity and understanding.  'Cause you be a racist too.  My name is Rueuhy and I approve this blog.  If you want to contact me I'll probably be volunteering at some KKK meeting somewhere and unavailable.
