Can you imagine being a young impressionable black kid of about 10 years old and watching MLK and others on this day in 1963. Can you imagine being a 60 year old black man today, seeing how little has changed?
You can not say you are 100% against the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and then sit there and tell me you're Pro-Life.
Minimum wage is $4 per hour less than the wage needed to be above the poverty line. That's $4 an hour. $32 a day. $160 a week. $640 a month. $8320 a year. For many, that's what they spend on their yearly vacation.
People yell at me when I put down our judicial system. They say "Innocent until proven guilty!" A man who was recently kicked out of a sex offender rehab program admitted to raping a teenage girl. The judge said she "controlled the situation as much as he did" and was "old beyond her chronological age." He was sentenced to 30 days in jail. The girl killed herself, because of the attack. Oh yeah, the man plead guilty to the charges.
The same people who are against our possible involvement in Syria, because of a lack of substantial evidence, were the same people who wanted to invade Iraq, because of the volume of evidence. The latter evidence was later found to be fabricated by a handful of people who never were tried as war criminals. What if we're wrong again?
People ask me why I am so vocal and argumentative when people post false news stories on Facebook. They tell me that I need to relax and that it isn't that big a deal. Not a big deal? 39% of Americans get their news from searching social media for stories. The most devout following of any news Channel is Fox News (25% of American who gets their news from TV watches Fox). That is part of the reason. Let's pretend for a second you didn't know anything about any news channel's views or biases. Would you ever trust a news source that pays millions in fees to buy websites from companies who post their untruths? Who pay millions in law suits, just so they don't have to publicly apologize of correct themselves? Who classify all of their shows now as "opinion pieces" and "editorials" to avoid further lawsuits? Still wondering why I do it?
A friend of mine recently told me that Democrats killed 100 million babies since 1973. He's maintaining that because of liberals, non-Christians and pro-choice advocates that this is the number of abortions performed in the last 40 years. When I asked him to explain the fact that 73% of all abortions in this country are performed on Christians of those who admitted to being so (55% admitting to being practicing), he ignored me. When I asked again, he ignored me again. I've still yet to hear any christian or republican explain this to me.
I'll end on a high note. 100% of us will die one day and not have to worry about any of this horror anymore.
