PUMAS

I really don't know what to say anymore. I have said all that needs to be said about the political climate as of late. Progressives have turned into PUMAS and the Right has gone insane. I was listening to Karel on Thursday He said something that has been weighing on me. " What are we going to do to make life better for us."

That was an ownership statement. I don't read a lot of ownership statements. So when I heard this it perked my ears. So many progressives lose the true message of being a Progressive. A Progressive is one who takes the lead in making a situation better for all. I don't see that now. What I do see is so-called Progressive blogs, feeding red meat to the masses and not trying to solve the issues. In doing this they yield their readership powerless. I am beginning to wonder is this intentional. If it is intentional then it is counter productive.

As of today, I am going to do myself a favor I will be cutting off all non productive blogs. If you are not part of the solution, your'e part of the problem.

There is just no pleasing anyone!!!!!

Poor President Obama,

He has been put thru the ringer. He has got right calling him Hitler and the left calling him spineless and wimpy. When in fact he is just the opposite and both sides know this. I am going to say this because this is my blog and I can say what I want.

Progressives people on the left and right wing hate this President. He is a black man, telling them what they need to do and they don't like it one bit. The progressive left acts as if he owes them something. When in fact it was them voting for that dummy Ralph Nader in 2000 that caused all of this in the first place. That is why Bush got into office because the whiny left acted like children and threw there vote in the garbage.

They like to say that they are the reason he is in office. Not so, Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians helped tremendously. We went into neighborhood where they could not and got out the vote. While they were crying over Hillary losing, we were diligently working for our future President. We understood what was ahead and we backed our president. We will be there again for him in 2012!!!

They are crying about Afghanistan. "When are we going to out!!!" Oh please, he told you what he was going to do in Afghanistan. He said it over and over again that he was going to escalate the war in Afghanistan and bring the troops home from Iraq. Healthcare was another issue. I would have loved to have HR67 pass. But it is just not practical for right now. What we got was better than what we had, which was nothing. Once once we have this exchange in place for a little while then we can move to single payer healthcare.

Now as for the right!! what can I say about the right wing. They have lost their minds completely. We have crying Glen Beck, Rush the Racist, Savage Micheal Savage, and Old silly Sarah Palin plus a whole host of wanna-bees rounding out the cast.

At first I laughed at these people, then several things happened that shook me to the core. A man walks into a Museum and shoots an African American security guard for no reason. Why because he listened to these knuckle heads I just mentioned. The second incident was the man who walk into a church on Sunday morning and shot an abortion doctor. Why, because Bill O'Reilly called the doctor a baby killer and wished several times on the air that he was dead. Thirdly, a man flies a Piper Jet into an IRS building in Texas, killing one employee and injuring several other employees. His reason, he stated that the IRS was "treading" on him and didn't want to pay his taxes.

The right wing has no reason to be angry AT ANYONE, period!!!! They are angry because there time is running out. This is a last ditch effort to have their poor working conservatives duped one more time into fighting a rich man's war. These people are out screaming about having Healthcare. Guess what, most of them did not have health care coverage for themselves. How silly and blind can you be. Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Sarah Palin don't give a flying flip about you. If they were told that they would get richer being a liberal they would drop you faster than a New York minute.

It's not just silly season on television, it's now silly season in the congress as well. Michelle Bachmann is a shit stirrer. She knows all of the ugly things she says about the President is wrong, but she doesn't care. How reckless. Ms Bachmann is not stupid as she looks, she is a very shrewd politician which make her very dangerous.

Well I say all of this to say this. My progressive friends, you know what side your bread is buttered. So act like you have some sense. Back your man and he will back you. You have not gotten this far in so little time, hang in there have a little bit more faith it will pay off in dividends. The working poor conservatives wake the hell up. You are being used like a two dollar hooker. Stop letting the rich treat you like you are there bull dogs. You work hard, we want you to have the best life possible. Realize we are all in this together. This is not about Black and White. This is about rich and poor and getting what is rightfully ours.

Peace!!!!

The True Gospel of inclusion

November 2008

When I became a Muslim in 1989 I put away certain schools of thought. The first was the theory of heaven and hell. As a child I never fully understood that concept. I always use to ask in Sunday school, " How is a place six times hotter that the sun and its six feet below? Would it burn our feet?" My reply would be this "Baby that is the way the Lord designed it. You just need to have a little more faith."

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches and so do others state that heaven and hell are two planes that exists right here on earth. A life of debt, misery wickedness and strife is hell. A life of peace and tranquility is heaven. Simple philosophy, atleast I thought so. However, when I ventured out and posed the question it may suprise many of the responses and examples and parused upon.

I was working in a christian outreach program. I posed the question to one of my senior co-worker. This was her response. "I could not possibly believe how you believe I need the threat of hell." See, living and doing the right thing for the sake of doing it was not enough for her.

Here is another example. I happened to be watching a newcast on World Link TV. The newclip was about a 14 year old Palestinian boy blowing himself up in Israel. I thought to myself, this is a 14 year old kid. What was this child promissed? Was he promissed by some cleric that upon his death he would recieve 70 virgins in heaven? Think about that, if there were REALLY 70 virgins waiting don't you think that old cleric would have been strapping himself up as well.

What would you do if your Preacher, Teacher, Guide, Imam, or Cleric got in front of you during Sunday morning services or Friday night Jumah and stated that there is no physical place called heaven or hell? Would you reak havoc, rob, steal, cheat because you feel that there is real punishment? Would you do the right thing by others because it's the right thing to do?

August 2009

Well I wrote this last year. Then I watched a documentary on a Minister lost everything doing just by just that. His name is Bishop Carlton Pearson. He is the most courageous person in the Ministry besides Minister Farrakhan.

Bishop Pearson was wealthy beyond belief. He had a huge congregation, power and prestige you name it he had it. Bishop Pearson had a revelation that shook the very core of his belief structure. He studied about the origins of Christianity and came to the realization that there was no HELL.

He could not continue to preach what he once believed nor could he Shepard his flock in that direction. Bishop Pearson began to share this new knowledge with his congregation. The Bishop thought that this would bring comfort to his congregation.

To say the least his most of his congregation left his church. He was ostracized by the Christian community. In short order he was persecuted. But truth always wins out. Even though he lost it all, he gained so much understanding and new life with a new mission. The Gospel of Inclusion.

I support you Bishop Pearson in all you do.

Peace

B.E.T NACHO NETWORK!!!!!!!

I have read several complaints about BET this morning. Needless to say that I agree with all the sentiments of these blogs and letters. However, the one thing in these letters and blogs that bother me the most is the fact that no one wanted to solve the actual problem. 

The actual problem is that BET is not your network anymore. Its not run by you, You dont dictate the programming, and nor can you control the purse strings. So we can write them, cry to to them, go on a hunger strike about them, it won't move them a wit. The other fact is that BET make WAYYYYYY too much money making fools out of us. We continue to watch it, talk about them at work, write blogs about them. All we our doing is generate more publicity. Creating a vicious cycle, of BET using us and we being used. You get the picture.

So with that being said, there is only one way to combat BET. Make our own internet channel. That sounds really big doesn't, not really, allow me to elaborate. We have enough people on this network that, program, blog, design websites, network. All of us have access to the Internet, at work, home and mobile to put this together and do it well. 

We have to understand that WE have to WORK on this OURSELVES. No one is going to sponsor this WE HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. WE can make this viral movement and we can start it right here, right now!!! 

WHO IS WITH ME, LETS THROW DOWN THE GAUNTLET!!! TURN OFF BET!!! TURN ON YOUR COMPUTERS AND LETS GO TO WORK!!! CREATING A NEW VIRAL MOVEMENT!!!!!

Freestyle 2009.…here we go 

Aight, tomorrow will be a done deal.  Now what you ask?  Well things come full circle you know what I mean.  I started this blog March 2008 with the intentions to improve my writing chops.  Well I was doing ok, so I decided to try to become apart of a writing community.  I was received with open arms to one and others turned me down.  I was heart broken to say the least!!!! But everything has a rhyme and reason I guess.  So anyways I was writing faithfully in my blog  trying to think of things to write.  It was the election season so you would think there would be oodles to write about…no!!!! Everyone was writing the same thing I felt myself drifting that way as well.  So I took a unintentional break from political blogging. 

I just decided to look up something on my teenager heart throb days.  I googled the DeBarge family.  As I was catching up all things DeBarge I joined this network.  The DeBarge Network, I felt so silly joining at first.  But when I started to chat and feeling out the surroundings I got to be real familiar.  They were real together cool out sistahs.  We were chatting one night about starting up an online business.  Now mind you, when Alim starts to talk about business its like hearing Charlie Brown’s teacher, “Wun wun whu whun” The idea appealed to me when I am with them.  

Last night I went to the chat as usual and a funny thing happened.  The question arose, “When are YOU gonna do YOU?  I was at a lost words, Imagine that! Me at a lost for words!!!!!  So I stated that I had a blog and Invite people here to go to it but no one went to it!!!! They go to my blog they love it!!!!! So now people are on my ass, hell I’m on my own ass about my writing.  I wrote El Debarge he wrote back.. The sistahs feel that he wrote me back because I had gift for writing.  It was like game recognized game.  

I having running from this gift for so long.  

However writing is the key to my captive life and will shake my soul free… That’s real!!!! 

So I say all of that to say this.. Expect more writing this year… and maybe just maybe I may have my first novel by end of the year….We will see,  check in and keep in touch…..

If you on this blog, please leave comments so I know that you there that gives me encouragement ok !!!!! 

Thanx

The End of the Winter In America.....

Well to say the least I have been busy since November 4th. Barack Obama is now the President Elect and as of January 20th he will be the first African American to hold the office. I can't but feel a sense of release in all of this.

I have felt since Ronald Regan that this was the glass ceiling for us as well as other nationalities. You could not believe what your parents would tell me that you could be anything you want to be if you want if you work hard. I don't believe that they believed that either.

The
