Barack Obama's Acceptance Speech

I am a much better reader than listener (that's a bit tragic) so to that end I am posting the link ( because the actual text is too long) of last night's acceptance speech so that I can revisit it should he actually become our next President.

I thought the speech was amazing last night but after reading it -- I'm convinced that it was amazing. This guy's has so much finesse, charisma and intelligence that it's difficult for me to hold against him his voting record relating to abortion (particularly late term). Although I must confess that the tribal part of myself wants to see a black President of the United States.

But McCain made an absolutely brilliant move politically with his VP selection, Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska. She is a right wing christian conservative (yeah, yeah and yeah) who after learning that the child she was carrying had Down Syndrome made the decision to continue the pregnancy. My friends, it is ON!!!! I am sure that I am not the only "on the fence christian conservative" who felt moved by Mr. Obama's impassioned acceptance speech last night, who now as a cooler head prevails is thinking Ms. Palin is just the type of person we want to see in the White House (Or at least next in line) So, I can't wait until the Republican convention next week.

Well, here is Mr. Obama's acceptance speech if you wish to watch:

Anonymous said...: I too thought that the speech Obama gave sounded absolutely fabulous, even though I'm definitely not a supporter, at the time. After being to digest it though I have to say it truly was lacking in substance. Too me it was like Kerry's 'I have a plan.' Keep blogging, we need a lot more voices like yours. People who think outside of the box. I consider someone like you to be a real critical thinker on issues, not one of the sheeple.; August 30, 2008 at 6:12 PM
Anonymous said...: I know grammar better than that. I am sure that I put "able to digest it" and "To me..." on my original comment. Unfortunately, some people will be flamers because of slight typographical errors, so I felt obliged to send the corrections.; August 30, 2008 at 6:17 PM

About

Don't let the title of this blog deceive you. Yes, I'm a Conservative Black Woman -- Not to be confused with Republican Black Woman. At this point I am in fact a Political Atheist. I believe with every fiber of my being that America is no longer a Constitutional Republic but rather a Corporate Fascist Oligarchy. Our Presidents are just the puppets, tools, spokespersons for the Powers that Be...Council of Foreign Relations and various other NGO's who are beholden to the International Banking Cabal. No, I'm not a Conspiracy Theorist -- I am a Conspiracy Researcher and I'd advise you to do the same. Who said "I would not have you ignorant?" Yes, that's my "handler" for all of those who think I have one. Over the course of writing this blog. My paradigm has shifted ENTIRELY. Yes, the paragraph below still applies but the Left\Right, Democrat\Republican head fake no longer applies to me. I WOKE UP!!!!

"I am fed up with what has happening within the black community. Too many of our families are broken, too many of us are morally degenerate and too many of us are willing to blame all of our pathology on slavery, George Bush, the Republican party or anything but our failures as Parents, Husbands, Wives and Christians."

My Favorite Quotations.....

Truth is scarcely found. But integrity and truth are hardly found within the Black population as a whole at least not where it involves black people. Most blacks have pledged allegiance to their blackness, not truth, not to America, not even to God as many profess. Integrity and truth has to go out the window if it somehow poses a threat to the "positive" image of blackness. ~Anonymous

Regarding Obama's hit on Gadhafi's family: "He's spineless and shameless, except when his masters unleash him on people of color. Then he becomes a pit bull--a real life Sambo/Quimbo doing the dirty work of Simon Legree. TPTB knew exactly what they were doing when they "selected" Obama to manage their psychopathocracy." ~ Makheru Bradley

"Whenever I hear cats start talking that "community" shit I know they are not serious. No one is accountable in conversations about "da community". That "we as a people"... Plantation Negro segmentation nonsense is Kool-Aid left over from the 70's. It perpetuates the illusion that there is even such a thing as a "black community". There aint no "community" and hasn't been in 40 years. Most Negros don't even know their neighbors."The only effective group is FAMILY. Families are the cells of a society. Destruction of the cell is cancer. An effective institution, expectation and habit of marriage is the antidote." ~Denmark Vesey(A Bloggin' Beast!!!!)

The irony of having an economic system that you hate be the source of your entitlement that is in excess of your productive capacity. -- Constructive Feedback (Blogger Extraordinaire)

Most people can't think, most of the remainder won't think, the small fraction who do think mostly can't do it very well. The extremely tiny fraction who think regularly, accurately, creatively, and without self-delusion – in the long run, these are the only people who count. -Robert A. Heinlein

Illumination of the above Frederick Douglass quote by blogger extraordinaire Constructive Feedback

With all due respect to this great I am not sure that he could have imagined the day where:

"Non-justice" is delivered by the hands of favorable officials with racial diversity that realize "Black on Black violence" is not seen as "violent" as other modalities
Where allowing "ignorance to prevail" is a favorable strategy for the retention of power by those who position themselves as saviors
Where "conspiracy theories" are effective tools to allow people to remain unified against an external threat - even when it has moved away and they are all by themselves - otherwise having to manage the human resources before them toward a more conscious end.

In this environment - Robbery, the oppression of intimidation, and degradation put in the form of a music genre lead to an inevitable condition of insecurity for persons and property.
