To all you Wobblers,

So you thought it was going to be a cakewalk?

Welcome to the real world.  

You thought change was going to be pretty.  And that the lions were going to lay down and let it happen.

Nope.  But this is the time to show your resolve.  If you are not willing, then move on, nothing to see here.

If you choose to continue, warning, there will be blood.

I sense that some of you can not handle the heat.  And that is just what the MSM was counting on.  Especially Faux News Nation.

That tape did not come out for the people who were never going to vote for Senator Obama.  It came out for YOU. Just for you.  Don't you feel special? Cut and spliced, just like you like it.  Scary.  A black man saying  'God Damn America.'  Thank God he didn't have a gun!  

They already manipulated you to think that a flag lapel pin is a patriotic indicator.  That you must be shifty, untrustworthy if you do not put your hand over your heart when the Star-Spangled Banner or National Anthem or their song of choice plays.

They got you jumping through so many hoops that you do not even go BALLISTIC when the report comes out that after 600,000 pages were looked through, they could not find anything that connected Iraq to Al-Queada.  

You are jumping through hoops as BILLIONS are spent on the war and I bet that you, like myself, don't know where it went.  But do you even care?

You are jumping through fiery hoops while THOUSANDS have died and are wounded in Iraq and there were no weapons of mass destruction. None, nada, didn't find a single one. I bet there are some people over there going, "God Damn America."   I'm willing to take bets on that.

And you do nothing? Say nothing?  Are you not going crazy with rage???

Well I guess not, because you are all so worried about Senator Obama's ex pastor.  That is the most important news in Faux News Nation.

They might as well put a ring through your nose and lead you around because you need them to tell you what to do and how to feel. When to be outraged and when to feel joy.  They play you like a violin.  They know which notes will make the beautiful music of your FEAR.

Do you really think that the MSM has your best interests at heart after all of this?

Pastor Wright is fiery and if you have seen the whole tape, know the history of the country you profess to love then you would know that the preacher was not too far off his mark.  He was not just talking to his congregation, he could be easily talking to you, trying to tell you something that you should hear. It is not just Black people getting screwed.  They think you are niggers too, even though you got white skin.  They'll send your sons and daughters to be cannon fodder to line their pockets as well.   His words may not be easy to hear, but time after time, they screw all of us.

But perhaps you just want ... snake oil sold by flag pin wearing, hand over the heart patriotic ASSHOLES who laugh all the way to the bank while you shill out $4.00/gallon for your car.

Pastor Wright is a veteran of our armed forces, has work for years against social injustice and he lived in a time of 'strange fruit', which is the term used for bodies hanging from trees after being lynched.  In his own country, that he fought for.  So understand that he may be ... over the top.

With that said, Pastor Wright is NOT Senator Obama.  And if you can not separate that, will not see that, then I believe that we're all fucked yet again.  

PS - I am angry because I had HOPED that we could do better than this.  There is no spoon!

"Don't get fooled again."  The Who
