hello america!!! from a 'fair one' to 'bats & chains' to 'knives' to 'guns' & other 'explosive-type devices'... from 'you can't mention it or show it on tv' to 'viagra & tampon commercials' airing all day long.
we've come a long way & you may wonder how we got here however, we still have more 'bad days' ahead. we have 'progressively' succumbed to liberal thinking. more importantly, we have lost control.
our churches are no longer full; our schools have lost their authority; our neighbors are all about themselves; our flag has lost its respect; our politicians only serve for their own agenda; our civil-rights leaders only get involved when the cameras are rolling; our news media has become extremely biased in its coverage & reporting of the news; drugs, gangs & violence have become a way of life in too many communities; we have become a nation of division; our children are school-taught to rebel against home authority; we turn a blind eye to the 'mentally challenged' & 'emotionally imbalanced'; 'bullying' is now broadcast on youtube before it's even reported; our 'police' are bound by laws that (at times) hurt us; our prisons are overfull; we have a very serious jobs problem (across the nation) that just won't fix itself; the dollar is losing its value; our gov't continues to take in less revenue & refuses to curtail its spending; hollywood continues to sell us violence; we've become a nation of handouts; & GOD & religion are being removed from the public's eyes & ears...
is it any wonder we are where we are? we have become so misguided that we raise hell about what happened in sandy hook & yet, we're extremely unresponsive when it comes to the 270 plus children violently killed in chicago over the past 3 years---

JUST TWO THINGS TO TALK ABOUT!!!
hello america!!! it bothers me that it takes a major newsworthy tragedy for us to get involved or vent our frustrations. i'm talking about the senseless killings in sandy hook. people were all over facebook, twitter & other outlets voicing their displeasure & offering up their prayers. & now, it's become a major political issue.
i'm not heartless or callous however, if the news media hadn't of broadcast the incident as much as they did, it would not be the big issue it turned out to be.
my problem is this: if it doesn't make the headlines, many of you wouldn't know anything. case is point: chicago has lost 270 plus children due to violence over the past 3 years & nobody is saying shit. a total of 500 plus people were killed in chicago during 2012 &, i can't remember anybody on my facebook saying anything. the black civil rights groups & leaders are also extremely silent.
you all jump on here supporting obama because he's black (he really hasn't done a damn thing for you) & yet, the vast majority of the killings in chicago were people of color &, you say nothing. the vast majority of the killings in sandy hook were white & you all went crazy.
i don't know where you get your news from but, you owe it to yourself to stay informed---hell, even msnbc has covered the killings in chicago & i've been blogging about them before last summer.
another case in point is: you all were on facebook & twitter congratulating obamas re-election after he promised you he would not raise taxes on the middle-class. as of jan 1st, you should be taking home 2% less of your check. he signed the 'fiscal cliff bill' into law allowing the increase to take place & not a one of you said a word. the 2% increase comes from the social security with-holding tax (4.2%) reverting back to 6.2%. just compare last years pay stub to this years. if you make $500 per week you take home $10 less per week which means you'll take home $480 less per year.
but, don't take my word on either issue---google it for yourselves & you'll find out how certain media outlets only report what they want you to hear.......
