When I hear the voice of Senator Jeff Sessions my radar goes up and I feel the need to be very careful because of a threat. I do not believe that Jeff Sessions has the best interest of me in mind or the American people that look like me. I'm a Black American.

When you read the biography of Senator Jeff Sessions it's very clear who he has in mind when he legislates from the Senate. Let's be clear I choose to accept Senator Sessions as the racist that I think he is. There is a law against segregation but I do not believe there is any American law against being a racist. My opinion is , also , that Senator Sessions as some sexism associated with his platform; anybody that agreed with the Ledbetter decision simply as to.

It's not that every Southern man is expected to be racist and anti-Black. But American Black people understand our American culture; including that of the South. American Black people lived in the South and under the Confederacy. American Black people took care of the Southern estates and raised the children of the Southern power elite; while at the same time were being talked about by the same Southern power elite like we were a plague upon the earth. This is a defiant way to live in the world in my opinion but this is fundamental to what the South was then and , in many cases , what the South is still today. Especially Alabama.

I believe that Senator Sessions would be totally satisfied to live in 19th Century America. It appears that Senator Sessions would be happy in a totally "Rich Vanilla Male" America. One where White men rule and everybody else can just can stay in the "back of the bus". So when I hear Senator Sessions go after Sonja I feel I know where he's coming from; my radar went up when I heard the voice. I understand that it would probably be the moment that most Republicans would want from Sonja but if I were her I would be tempted to just ask the Senator would a return to a totally White and Male Supreme Court be alright with him?

Senator Sessions needs to understand that America is not going to be the "Vanilla" influenced country that it was in the past. It's never going to happen again. I or any member of my American family will never pick cotton for free again. And that White men are not the only successful arbiters of legal policy in America.

So I heard the voice of Senator Sessions and gave him a brief chance in the Sonja hearings. It didn't take long to confirm that Senator Sessions is not and will never be enlightened enough to live , successfully , in the coming new world. Instead he seems to want to revert to the past and live in a time when only his "type" felt that they should hold sway; period. So Senator Sessions is living the lie and he's the problem in my opinion and Sonja represents more of the solution.

It's important also that Senator Sessions understand what I would do if I were the President of the United States. That is I would be the President for him too. I would insist on is right to be wrong with the obvious racist and sexist positions he really chooses to take. And that I also realize he chooses to effectively hide behind a strategic rhetoric that sounds good. It's Senator Jeff Sessions right to be racist and sexist but he must be careful when acting on that as a Senator. So I feel there is a difference between what I would do and what Senator Jeff Sessions would do if we were both in the same position. That difference is that I would be the Senator for all the American people and not just some of them. The fundamental problem with Senator Sessions is not so much that he's just for an exclusive part of America but that he's against another certain portion of the American people. And many millions of Americans see that and are clear who Senator Jeff Sessions really is.

So to conclude Senator Jeff Sessions needs to understand that the world is heading for new direction. And that non-White men and women are going to be a representative part of it. And I also want Senator Sessions to understand that I have every expectation that these new and non-White male and female American participants are not going to repeat the mistakes of the American past. The American past is going to be touted , in history , as our great mistake. Hopefully our American future will be touted as our great reckoning and the time when we decided to create and respond to the real American idea. Let's hope that Americans like Senator Sessions , who is the problem , decide to go along and become part of the solution. Thank You.

There is no lonelier man in death, except the suicide, than that man who has lived many years with a good wife and then outlived her. If two people love each other there can be no happy end to it.

I struggle with the "no happy end to it" reference. It makes the journey that a couple might make sound so poignantly bleak at the end. But I can understand and accept the sentiment. My wife , Mary , is my number one priority as we face the latter part of our lives together. Mary is 52 and I'm 60; we have been married for 24 years and we have 3 daughters and 5 grand daughters. If my family were compared to a universe; then Mary would be the Sun in that universe. And no life happens in our universe without the Sun. That's just how important Mary is to me and what I think she means to our family. So the remarkable problems the American people are having with health care , concerns me very much. More because of my major concerns and worry; are for my wife.

We seem to have such remarkable problems challenging the American health care system. Yet we have absolutely unremarkable ability in our leaders will to challenge these current problems to the health care system. Our "dear leaders" are doing much talking but have very little in the line of remarkable solutions to offer the American people. In other words I feel our "dear leaders" are really fighting the American people to keep the status quo. And I thought that the status quo was the problem.

As a husband and a father I would always be prepared to sacrifice much for my family and it's well being. So now I know we'll have no public option offered the American people. So what about the personal option. By that I mean I would freely agree to accept some form of abbreviated medical coverage so that my wife would maintain more and better coverage. An example would be that I would only be covered for the routine stuff like common dental stuff like check ups and fillings. And on the medical side my coverage would cover common stuff like broken limbs , cuts , routine inoculations , colds and flu. I would agree to simply take my chances with serious and chronic conditions of the cancers , Alzheimer's , arthritis , and all the various blood diseases , and such. I would take the chance to help my family more. I and many other Fathers would be prepared to do the same thing if faced with remarkable challenges to their families.

Our "dear leaders" are covered if you check. Most to all of them are very well covered medically; as are their families. It's the Senators and the Congressional men and women who have some of the best "portfolios" there are. They can get on the phone and call , personally , some of the most powerful people in the world. The American people can't. So do we really expect these folks to solve the medical problems of treatment and care that the American people are having; when they are absolutely not? The American people would now not have issue with accepting that "class warfare" was for real; and we lost.

I took a remarkable chance with my life to volunteer for Viet Nam. And I did it because I was from a working class family and the only way I was going to be able to go to college was the GI Bill. It was a remarkable chance I took that paid off. I graduated from the University of Minnesota 1975. America and the American people are in remarkable trouble. Our "dear leaders" are not. And our "dear leaders" are so beholding they now lack the courage and commitment to do the right thing for the American people. More of our "dear leaders" should have come to Viet Nam with us; their decisions would be more in line with American standards of care and concern. So for now I feel our leaders are no more then "dear leaders".

You would have thought that when it came to solving some of the problems that the American people are having that some of the solutions would be as immediate and purposeful as when "Shitty Bank" or "Skank of America" got bailed out. You can't even get Barrack to give gay and American soldiers a fair break in our Armed services. The "don't ask don't tell" policy is un-American and unfair. What we should do is force our "dear leaders" into the closet and make them stay there. Our "dear leaders" are doing nothing but helping their "dear friends" and that's to the detriment of the American people.
