This is My Rant

by Daniella Nicole

There are a lot of things going on in the world as of late that have caused me to think about my beliefs and values. These things have also caused me to take a step back and observe, in horror, at the sheer stupidity, lunacy and downright evil (yes, I said it: EVIL), that is going on around me.

In a moment of disgust, I compiled a 9-point rant. I shared it first on Facebook, now I’m sharing it with you. Here is my rant:

1-If job losses were hitting illegals hard, they wouldn't still be here, with more pouring over the borders. Ergo, they are still getting hired. Ergo, they are taking American jobs. Fix border, fix immigration, see more job openings.

2-Why is 'fair wages for illegals' even a discussion? The word 'illegal' should present sufficient evidence that they have NO 'right' to wages of ANY type in America. How dare they complain when they are stealing work, stealing wages and breaking federal law even being here! Those who defend them and help them are aiding, abetting and condoning criminal behavior. Period.

3-The federal government 'boycotting' and 'suing' AZ? Time to clean house. Who do they think they are to punish anyone for upholding the laws they enacted but are failing themselves to uphold? If anyone should be punished, its THEM. In fact, since they refuse to do the basic things they are supposed to, how about we boycott THEM? No federal funding, no tax revenue, file lawsuits, etc? Its time to impeach, jail, sue, etc. They are out of control and I believe, at times, acting in a treasonous manner.

4-What business is it of California or Mexico what Arizona does? Not that long ago California was throwing a hissy fit about 'interference' over Proposition 8 from states, people and organizations outside of California. What right do they have to protest Arizona for upholding FEDERAL law? Either take up the federal law with The Annointed One or shut the crap up. We don't care what you think-and you certainly are in no position to tell any other state what to do.

5-Speaking of Mexico. Calderon can shut the crap up until he opens Mexico's southern borders so anyone can come in, take what they want and trash the place. He doesn't like our laws? Boo friggin hoo. His are worse. Freaking hypocrite. Anyone who gives this creep a public platform should be smacked. Hard.

6-Obama is a ego-maniacal, lying, socialistic wimp.

7-When this administration points elsewhere to shift the blame or attention, know that:

a) there is WAY more to the story
b) they are up to something worse elsewhere
c) either directly or indirectly it is going to cost you money and freedom/rights

8-I don't give a rat's backside who or what you worship. Just don't think I will go along with being forced into your beliefs or stand idly by while you plan to murder me and those like me. I am not afraid of you, I won't be bullied and I won't be intimidated. In fact, I will fight back and you will not like it.

9-You don't have to agree with me or like me. You won't, however, shut me up. Additionally, I will continue to fight for your right to offend people with your beliefs, regardless of how you feel about mine. I'm an American-its what we do.

Why Reverend Wright Matters in Obama's Campaign

I have been watching this story unfold with a great deal of interest, and feel it is now time to speak up about something I only saw kind of referenced yesterday - by Bill O'Reilly - coincidentally after I fired off an email to his show mentioning it.

When people seek out a church/religion, generally they are seeking God or a better way to live. They may want answers, comfort, peace, or knowledge. What gets people to stay with a particular church/pastor is that they find what is being espoused is congruent with their particular belief set. If there is a strong conflict between the two, people will leave and seek out other churches/religions/pastors. This is evidenced in many discussions about churches/religions changing their policies/stances on various issues in order to stop congregants from leaving.

The evidence is overwhelming that Reverend Wright has not only preached anti-American venom from the pulpit, but that he has done it multiple times - which illustrates that he was not speaking rashly, but from his deepest set of beliefs. Add to that the continual and repeated references from his own lips regarding how whites hold back/put down/victimize blacks.

Obama attended this church and listened to the ravings of this pastor for TWENTY YEARS. For 20 years, Barack Obama and his wife sat in the church and listened to all the venom spewed by Reverend Wright. For 20 years, they found enough congruence between their own beliefs and what he was preaching to continue to stay - and I would bet, financially support the church/pastor.

Recently, Michelle Obama was accused of making anti-American statements (essentially the same statement reworded on several occasions). Is it any wonder that she would say such things as how ashamed she is of America when shame of, hate for, and the blaming of America is routinely preached in the church she attends?

And what of Obama and his campaign? Can we really have as our leader and representative someone who has, for 20 years, found enough congruence with his own beliefs to continue to attend a church led by Reverend Wright, and whose own wife also makes anti-American statements? How can someone who believes whites are out to get blacks, and that America is an evil and shameful country possibly fairly serve the interests of its citizens?

UPDATE TO POST:

Several things have come out since I made this post, that I felt I needed to add for your information:
Video - Barack Obama Responds
Contradiction to Barack Obama's Claimed 'Stand' on 'hate speech'

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you go to the Barack Obama website and pass along ANYTHING from it (i.e. "email this to a friend") be warned - they will begin to spam you! Then you have to 'unsubscribe' AND give them a reason WHY you are unsubscribing. How about 'you collected my email information without my knowledge or consent and then spammed me!'
