I am simply saying that some Messengers should be ignored...
If I don't like or trust the messenger why would I listen to the message...
If Palin or Beck said exactly what this CENK person is saying would we question their motives... of course we would... Why, because we do not trust the messenger... or the unproductive and divisive way the message is being delivered...
The same goes for when Scarborough tries to play both sides... Do we trust Scarborough, HELL NO, but if he is saying what we want him to say do we stop and listen...
The answer is still A Hell No!!!!
Why because he is an opportunist...
And...
• That is my impression of the CENKperson....
• That is my impression of the Scarborough People
• That is my impression of the FDLPeople
• That is my impression of the Becknying People
• That is my impression of the Palinyning People
• That is my impression of the Dylan Ratigan and his People.
I went to sleep with DADT Unconstitutional and 60 Votes Small Business Bill and I work up to Division...
Out of all things to discuss CENK Uygur felt "RAHM" was important enough to write a Diary on...
I mean Really!!!! This was nothing more than a ploy to spark Division Distraction and Destruction among Democrats vs. Democrats...
Especially when the American People had a week of,
Our President coming out over the weekend and wiping the floor with the Party of No Accomplishments...
And Calling them out again on Wednesday with an identifying target of John Boehner...
We also have the Unity One Nation 10.2.10 March that is gaining steam...
We have a Republican who is no longer willing to say NO ...
And other Republicans who are starting to become more and more uncomfortable on the direction their Party is taking...
We have had a Court Return Stem Cell Research...
We have had a Court Rule DADT unconstitutional...
We had some small setbacks but some positive gains.... and what usually happens when things are starting to take shape in our favor, well you'll have someone who comes along trying to throw a Monkey Wrench into progress...Last Sunday is was This One and today CENK Uygur decided to take a crack at it.
Everything is starting to come together and Mr. Uygur is attempting to cause divide, distract and destruct. He could have spent his time writing a Diary on how the Republicans are refusing to debate their Democratic Opponents but he choose to destruct our time by writing a Diary on Rahm Emanuel, can you be so desperate for attention...
Everyone Stay Strong... Stay Focus...
No Divide... No Distraction... No Destruction...
So let me reiterate, I am not trying to Kill the Messenger, I just want my message coming form a different source....with a more Productive Style.
Now on a side joyous note...
I had a few proud Moments this week. My daughter started her Senior Year on Wednesday... Senior Year, almost 18, almost ready to vote.... that would make any Parent who cares about their country happy right... but it wasn't only that, is was a conversation that took place in her economic class...
My daughter's Economic Teacher was quickly identified as a Republican when he began to criticize the Healthcare Bill... but what gave me Joy and Hope was when she told me that the students began to fight back against his negative interpretation...
The Teacher didn't believe in the Healthcare for all..
One Student Said, isn't it our right for everyone to have Healthcare
Another Student Said, shouldn't we all be able to afford Healthcare
The Teacher reply, well people are going to have to get jobs if they want healthcare
Another Student Replied, what if they don't have a job, how are they going to get Healthcare
The Teacher's Reply, the Healthcare Bill gives people a reason to stay unemployed
Another Student Replied, but they aren't giving out jobs....
I love this School because of it's Diversity... and I love it more because the Students are so engaged, especially at time when the Media, is trying to tell us otherwise....
Another refreshing moment was with a conversation I had with a friend of mind...
I am always aggressively pushing people to register to vote; I am constantly talking about the Important Bills that have been passed in Congress and how many of us can now benefit from them. I am always pushing what Democrats have done compared to what the Republicans have done (NOTHING), and so in this conversation with this one friend of mine, who I can honestly say is so not into politics, I would be surprised if she even voted in the 2008 Election, but in this conversation, let me just say, O what a year makes.
I went to go visit her... Just to shoot the breeze, chitchat here, chitchat there... nothing major... I already knew how she was when it came to politics; the process intimidates her; she immediately shuts down when aggressively pushed...so I already knew that I must handle her carefully...
But O what a difference a year makes because it wasn't I who brought up politics it was her; she couldn't believe how the media was coming down so hard on President Obama, her words:
"Don't they know everything this man inherited was from the REPUBLICANS?"
"How do they expect anyone to fix things over night?"
"What would they have the President do that would move things along more quickly?"
"It's going to take time!!!!"
and after watching the Spike Lee Documentary on Katrina this is what she said "what the Bush Administration did to those people in New Orleans during Katrina was horrible and just made me cry, I get angry every time I think about i!!!!."....
These were her words and I kind of just set there in amazement. This was a person who didn't even know what a delegate was during the Primary Elections and here she was more than willing to engage me further than I thought she could handle....
What this showed me is that Students and Regular Folks are paying attention even if the Media is trying to tell us otherwise..
