When Barack Obama became President of the United States he immediately encountered stiff opposition and obstructionism from principally the Republican far right wing and Republican Conservatives. The president also encountered opposition from Democrats and Progressives who were horrified that Hilary Clinton and even Joe Biden lost, and lost to this virtually unknown figure Barack Obama. I need mention here also that it was not only opposition from the Republican right wing, Republican conservatives, horrified Democrats and Progressives, but also opposition from Republican leaning Independents, Libertarians, and other tribes of people specifically opposed to the occupation of the White House by a black man and his family. This was an outrage of highest order.
Every so often a man comes along and tells the people he speaks with GOD and GOD speaks with him. Generally these deceivers are crafty smooth talkers, using religion to promote their god-like ambitions only to destroy those mindless minions that follow with little sense of reality.
Beck had his rally, and like many star struck fans his supporters were there to anoint Mr. Beck as the second coming. There have been many who have said; “here I am” only to prove to be a destroyer of the hapless minds of those who follow.
What is most interesting, but not surprising is the number of evangelical leaders behind Beck. Why is this not surprising but only interesting? Evangelicals have been and are members of the Arian Nation, the KKK, the brotherhood, of neo-Nazi groups, and other groups infuriated with all these people of color taking over America. It stands to reason that they “want their America back”.
The rights of certain classes of people throughout history have been trampled on or non-existent in the United States. In our early history it was blacks. Not only did they have no rights, they were forced into slavery by the rich and powerful. Fortunately a president came along that understood the injustice of this practice. He believed in the constitution and though it was not a popular decision, he declared those people free. Even though it led to a civil war his conviction and belief in freedom did not falter.
That spirit and dedication to doing what is right and just seems to have been lost in today’s political arena. The black community is still fighting for, and guarding their rights. Since that time many other minorities have had to take up the battle. In a country that boasts freedom and justice for all this seems to be an oxymoron. We deny rights and freedom to some while others are immune to our laws. There seems to be a pattern here.

Do We Suffer Defeat or do We Conquer the Hate and the Lies?

Your constitutional, and federal benefits you worked so hard for are now under an extreme assault, and will be assaulted. If you don't want:
A. Social Security changed where the benefit age is raised to 70 instead of the 65 then you must come out of sleep.
B. Social Security Benefits changed, you must come out of your sleep.
C. The new health care plan dismantled, and you loose protection against pre-existing conditions for yourselves and your children, then you must come out of your sleep.
D. The Right Wing and the elected Tea Partiers tieing up Congress, especially the House with endless investigations, then come out of your sleep.
This is an article well worth reading. I know the author of this article and he is one of the administrators of RSOL. If you are a parent or anyone else that does not have a record as a sex offender, but are mad and don't want to these injustices in sex offender laws continue, then apply your signature to the growing list of people against these unjust and unjustified sex offender laws as they are applied.
Please, this is not a time to be afraid.
