The memory of the 1963 Birmingham Church bombing is still vivid. Four young girls were in church minding their own business when local KKK decided to bomb a house of worship. What type of hate does one have to possess to do such a thing?

When George Bush was POTUS, I can honestly say that I never wrote anything disrespectful about him or his family. Even though I did not agree with his policies, I still had respect for him as President and commander-in-chief. Mature adults are supposed to be able to separate the two. But if you are a racist it is impossible for you to see the good or worth in anybody of color.

When someone blatantly refer to the POTUS as narcissist, incompetent idiot, pathetic, clown, coward devoid of any emotional intelligence, dishonest, fraud, deceitful, supports terrorists, arming and financing terrorist groups, coward, shiite for brains, puppet, whack job, moron, and heart warming to SEE his demise.!!!! While everyone has a right to their opinion, I take exception when you wish harm come to the POTUS. This is spoken like a hard core RACIST. This person is a danger to himself as well as others. You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him. SAD.

Racists and bigots are so predictable. There are four words in their vocabulary that will identify them right away when they’re speaking to anyone of color; arrogant, uppity, braggart, and ego.

Racists believe that a person that’s self-motivated is arrogant or uppity. When a person is self-motivated he/she will take on a task and finish it whether they receive praise or not. They believe in themselves and is very confident in their ability. When one shows aptitude, they are called a braggart. The person that shows ability on a job is the one that always gets promoted. So you don’t have to wonder why everyone seems to be getting promoted but you. Finally, when one is confident in their ability, you are accused of having an ego problem. SAD. Being sure of yourself and your ability is a good thing. It is necessary in order to be successful in any occupation.

Racist people want everyone to share their belief, misery, and failures by showing bigotry toward others in order to feel good about their miserable existence. I am reminded about the saying “Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner” I don’t… and that’s what makes me so different. You can say that I’m arrogant, uppity, a braggart, or that I have an ego problem all you want…these four things helped me cope with and ultimately defeat RACISM.

Republicans Use Religion as a Political Tool

John W. McCarthy wrote a very interesting article about tactics used by so-called religious repubs/tea-partiers. They are wolfs in sheep clothing. They are selective sinners. They rationalize about what is a sin and what's not because they are ignorant of the the bible and its teachings. Many are not members of a church and can't tell you the last time time they went... Because they got church in their heart. Yeah Right! Yet they still think they are the apple of GOD"S EYES. SAD.

Watch and learn...

I don't think so. Sarah may have the looks but it is very obvious that she is intellectually challenged.
