I see myself as a commentator here and on my blog, The Non-Trad Manifesto, the link-http://www.blondmama.blogspot.com. As I noted in my first blog last New Year's Eve, I am not PC. I tell it like I see it, warts and all. My mission is to improve the USA and eventually the World. We are put on this precious World to work for the common good and if we don't we are leaching on the land!
In order to wake up people and get them out of their sleep one has to be blatant in their phraseology and sometimes it hurts a little. Sure, being PC is less painful at first but it doesn't solve the problem, it lets the wound fester until gangarine sets in and an amputation is necessary. If you tell the truth at the get go you can brainstorm to solve the problem. In my blogs, I also provide viable solutions to the problems I raise. I don't waste my reader's time by throwing a problem at them and not help them to solve it.
I have written criticisms of other student's writing at the University of St. Thomas as a student myself. It was required as part of our writing exercises. I disputed their findings but I never called them names like (shill or flake). It has never been my style to do so. Now that I am writing on my own, I still don't.
I AM NOT a racist. I reserve the right to mention the word Black as part of someone's description, if appropriate. I think that the recent deification of Black people, especially women is rediculouis! All races are equal but none are superior. I have friends of all races.
Most of us here are Progressive Liberal Democrats, so we should be on the next page if not the same page. But we are individuals so we all have a different spin on various subjects. I welcome comments on what I write but they should be a deep consideration of the topic and well thought out. I dive to the bottom of a subject to analyze it. Remember that the Republicans surf the Internet looking for ways to separate us. We must have due diligence and put up a united front so we can keep Barack Obama as president and to get more Senate seats and win back the Congress so we can help the 99%!
