The eMail shown below was sent to my attention and appears to be making the rounds via the Internet. I don't know who the author is and I take no credit for the contents-- I am just sharing. Also, I was just thinking about what others thoughts may be regarding this anonymous eMail? Talk to me: (see eMail below)

Subject: Now Some Folks are Mad!

Folks: Let's make a quick reference. Now, since Obama has become president, all of a sudden folks have gotten mad, and want to take America Back...BACK TO WHAT/WHERE is my question????? After The 8 Years Of The Bush/Cheney Disaster, Now You Get Mad?

You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President. You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate Energy policy and push us to invade Iraq. You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed
.
You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed. You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us. You didn't get mad when we spent over 800 billion (and counting) on said illegal war. You didn't get mad when Bush borrowed more money from foreign sources than the previous 42 Presidents combined. You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars in cash just disappeared in Iraq. You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people. You didn't get mad when Bush embraced trade and outsourcing policies that shipped 6 million American jobs out of the country.

You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans. You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden. You didn't get mad when Bush rang up 10 trillion dollars in combined budget and current account deficits. You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.
You didn't get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown. You didn't get mad when we gave people who had more money than they could spend, the filthy rich, over a trillion dollars in tax breaks.

You didn't get mad with the worst 8 years of job creations in several decades. You didn't get mad when over 200,000 US Citizens lost their lives because they had no health insurance. You didn't get mad when lack of oversight and regulations from the Bush Administration caused US Citizens to lose 12 trillion dollars in investments, retirement, and home values.

You finally got mad when a black man was elected President and decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, job losses by the millions, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, and the worst economic disaster since 1929 are all okay with you, but helping fellow Americans who are sick...Oh, Hell No!!
P.S. This one definitely needs to be shared, just for reminder sake!!!!!

There is a bigger picture here in the aftermath. Kin to "can't see the forest for the trees". World dominance; the crashing of the stock market worldwide via mortgages; globally, countries bailing out their banks; sky-rocketing unemployment, consequently, citizens unable to pay taxes for their Treasury; Greece earlier this year becoming bankrupt with Ireland today, following in a close second, except for a save by the European Union whose euros are at risk. Those non G-20 countries we don't hear about suffering even worse. Down to (just to wet their feet) Crystal Palin, Sarah Palin's (2008 Republican Vice-Presidential candidate) daughter, winning over much better dancers on the TV Show, "Dancing with the Stars", by high concentrated votes from the Tea Party. Reminiscent of the Bush/Cheney/Neo-cons era making things happen. Making things happen. All the while with fear-mongering. After all, a scared/terrorized populace is more likely to do what you want. History is repeating itself; recirculating under different names. Take America Back...to what? For starters, how about the unmitigated gall of the Bush/Cheney/Neo-cons freedom to do whatever they want without consequences?

The best way to control people is to enslave them. Slaves create the least amount of threat to a society built with blood money...as long as it's somebody else's blood. As long as somebody else is doing the suffering, it's cool and the gang. But when white folks start suffering, oh hell naw...their suffering outshines and is much more abhorrent than all other peoples' suffering. When white folks suffer, epidemics develop, crisis intervention is an obligation, and their b******* suddenly becomes normal everyday logic, as referenced in the above email. If you'd consider the source then you'd understand that the behavior is understandable. Acceptable? hell friggin naw, but conceivable.

Right now white folks scarred, as they should be. They've held the reins for 400 years in America and look at what they have accomplished? Running in place and making butter on the same ole poppycock reasoning that declared black folks as 3/5 of a human being. Yeah, you white folks benefited from that law, still are. And now white folks gone mess up a good thing with Obama because he's trying to make the American majority live up to it's own Constitution...something about WE, the people. But for real, it ain't about WE, the people, it's about US and Them. White folks is US and everybody else is Them. That's why you see this type of blatant, illogical behavior from white folks.

And what gets me is white folks (and some black folks) get offended when you say white folks are stupid racists. Well stop proving the truth to be true and maybe we (aka Them), who are observing won't have to call white folks out on their racist b/s. White folks all the time want to create stereotypes for other people, but when they get called out on their racism, they want to play the nut roll. GTFOH!!!

And those are my thoughts.

Clearly you are awake! For those who have no words to share they must be asleep or simply the walking dead.

Hi Patrick
Do you disagree that, "the best way to control the people is to enslave them?" C'mon think about it-- In fact, I think a new form of slavery is incarceration. Read the entire piece and share your thoughts--

[SweeTea]

Come? But where you want to go? You think capitalism can exist without slavery?

I present the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution..."by the people for the people":

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

The question simply is who will serve the "slave" role? Black folks are physically enslaved by creating the scenarios of urban metro ghettos such as those found in every major city across the country. White folks financially enslaved by allowing them to live high on the hog through debt/credit then pulling the rug. Latinos enslaved by the immigration industrial complex of cheap labor. And, it's all legal.

So where you want people to "come on" to? You want them to come now and eat more b/s? It stanks man!! The b/s really stinks, really, it do.

Like my man Richard Pryor once said..."That's foul, with a capital Foul" lol

[Patrick Haltiwanger]

No, I believe my "COME ON, SOMEBODY" praise colloquialism was misconstrued. I don't disagree with the aforementioned thoughts.
I would love to delve into this topic, but the layout of this site doesn't work very well in conjunction with my phone.
I'm usually exceedingly assertive, forthcoming, and socially aware with MY opinions.
Recently my fervor and tenacity has been significantly diminished. Humanity has broken my heart, and left a scar.
I'm willing to listen to explanations, but the maximum effective range of an excuse is zero.
I'm fed up to - HERE - with being sick and tired of the hearsay, casting asperisons, unsubstantiated accusations, and just blatant disregard for another human being.
Problem identified, let's just work toward a solution!

Bristol Palin, not Crystal Palin, is on "Dancing with the Stars".

I'll paraphrase former Chicago Alderman, Dorothy Tillman, at the Tavis Smiley Black Agenda Forum: "I ain't mad at Tea Party folks; they're doing what they're supposed to do."
I don't agree with their views, but they've EN MASSE basically said, "HELL NO! We DEMAND change!"

They don't care about who has the most luxurious car.
They don't care about who has the most expensive clothes.
They don't care about who has light skin or dark skin.
They don't care about who has the newest shoes.
They don't care about who has their hair done a particular way.
They are shaking the very foundation of this nation to see the change they want to see, not embarking on some pseudo-free-Lil'-Weezy campaign.

When you gonna do it?

[M.D. Writes]

Thanks for the clarification~ "I see," said the blind lady! You are not asleep, while the world is turning and we're entering Phase II of Real Life 101 eh-- After all, Bristal's or Crystal's (whatever her name) Moma says, she may run for President in 2012 and feels assured she can beat President Obama should he run again. We must silence this wild-n-crazy kinda popular behavior-- (e.g., the masses of live nuts are sure to win and where will Sarah lead us? Straight to living hell)

i think obama became president because america was fed up with bush. obama did not win by a landslide. he barely obtained his presidency. as i mentioned in a previous discussion, the republucans sound louder in their disapproval of obama because we lost the youth voice during midterms. the youth got caught up in the glamour of politics, history in the making, but there's nothing really glamourous about the trite donkey-elephant wars. true obama supporters know that things cannot be changed overnight. i think the majority of obama's haters have always been discouraged but since the youth's participation has drowned, it appears like an anti-obama frenzy.

[M.D. Writes]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts~ Truth of the matter is the perception of an anti-Obama frenzy is just that. However, just as you have denoted, the younger generation (GEN X'ers and others) must collect themselves and understand how politics really work-- no offense to the Gen X'er's as I consider this group pretty smart and savvy. Clearly, no man/woman will be able to turn the economy around within four years, as it did not take four years for America to work herself into this status-- Is it easier to blame the Democrats and President Obama? You betcha! So, my question to the Gen X'ers is this: Do you seriously believe that Sarah Palin is able to do any better than Obama? Me, personally, no. . . that is to say, I doubt that Sarah Palin "can do" and here's why: She does not have the necessary training for such nor does she have the intellect of any of our previous leaders. Furthermore, I dislike having to say this, (as I am eager to live to see the first female president), but her decision making skills are clearly lacking. If you recall she was unable (in the writer's opinion) to answer the most basic questions asked of her during her previous campaign run. Wow! How embarrassing was that?!?@#$%! If the campaign is run on popularity alone she might be a step ahead but still I find it doubtful that the masses would elect her-- If I am wrong then the root cause of my error and the matter is simply that of race just as the eMail suggest. As a sentient being, Sarah is easy to like but is she presidential material? I guess time and racial biases will tell soon enough eh--
