Jan. 20th, 2009
Talk to the hand, dudes.
Jan. 20th, 2009 11:56 amYeah, um. I wasn't going to say anything more about today's ordination inauguration, but that so-called "benediction" by Rev. Lowery shredded my self-control. What kills me is that this thing had to have been vetted by Obama or his people, and yet this slipped through:
...black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man, and when white will embrace what's right.
You know what? FUCK. YOU. White people just elected Obama, white people marched next to Martin Luther King, white people fought and died in a war to free slaves--and the race baiters would do well to remember that. The sixties were forty frakking years ago, and our country has come a hell of a long way since then. The party of "tolerance" is anything but, and I'm sick and damn tired of keeping my mouth shut on my space (and believe me, I have) because my opinions are unpopular. What a lowbrow, low-class thing to do, to point the finger of accusation at an entire race of people at a time when we're supposed to be coming together and filled with hope.
I have absolutely no hope whatsoever that Obama is going to take this country in a direction that is in any way beneficial. I "hope" he fails to get any of his socialist policies through. I "hope" that we get a Republican Congress in two years that'll rein him in. I "hope" I'm allowed to keep my guns. I "hope" that Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck are still going to be on the radio instead of being censored by the so-called Fairness Doctrine. I'm pretty sure that's not the "hope" I'm supposed to be feeling right now.
I fully expect to be defriended over this post. I've already been defriended over my last one. Which is fascinating, because my LJ hasn't been all that political, but apparently I'm going to be posting negative comments for the next eight years or something. I don't even know--I've used a "politics" tag 43 times, counting this post, in five years of LJing. And it's not like I haven't endured eight years of negative comments about a President I liked and admired. My timing could have been better--I could have posted that after he got sworn in rather than just before. But the First Amendment doesn't have a timestamp, this is my space, and anyone who doesn't like my brand of politics was fully warned on my profile in big bold letters...so, yeah.
And comments are disabled because I don't want to fucking hear it.
