Kids Today.... Huh

Kids today

They have it so easy.

Why, when I was a boy, we had to reach ALL THE WAY TO THE RADIO DIAL in the car, to turn up the volume or change a station. None of this fancy shmancy pushing a button on the steering wheel to turn it up or change the station.

And putting the window down?? Fuggedaboudit! We had to ROLL IT UP OR DOWN. None of this pushing a button to raise or lower it.

And clocks!

When WE switched to Daylight Savings Time, we HAD TO GO AROUND TO EACH AND EVERY CLOCK IN THE HOUSE and change the time. None of this automatically having the time change for you on these cell phones and computers.

I tell ya.

Kids today have it easy.

We get no respect.

Black and White in America: How It's Different

One more example of true white privilege and very glaring. It doesn't get any more real, accurate or actual and factual than this.

Watch how long the white cop is frozen in what must apparently be fear, while the man is on the ground, totally unable to even touch his weapon.

White guy open carries?   No big.

Black guy, same thing?

FREAK OUT.

You should watch this to the end.

It's okay if the cracker does it.



Here's another. They rationalize with this guy. Just not a black man.

Three Country Western Stars, on President Obama

First, Tim McGraw:

“It’s innate in me to be a blue-dog Democrat. I’m not saying I’m right or wrong, but that’s what I am,” he told People. “My wife and I and our family will do everything we can to support Obama. I like his ideas, I like his energy, and I like the statement he would make for our country to the world.”

Then there's Republican Garth Brooks:

"Yeah, I think what President Obama is finding out is all that we want to do, the system kind of doesn't allow the most powerful guy in the world to kind of do his job and I'm sure nobody's more frustrated than him to complete those promises that he did and I think he's trying his heart out. I love him to death and I fully support him and I just wish him well because it's got to be hell in that office."

And then, finally, for those "of a certain age" or who just know their country music, there's Merle "Okee from Muskogee" Haggard:

It’s really almost criminal what they do with our President. There seems to be no shame or anything. They call him all kinds of names all day long, saying he’s doing certain things that he’s not. It’s just a big old political game that I don’t want to be part of. There are people spending their lives putting him down. I’m sure some of it’s true and some of it’s not. I was very surprised to find the man very humble and he had a nice handshake. His wife was very cordial to the guests and especially me. They made a special effort to make me feel welcome. It was not at all the way the media described him to be.

Disrespect

So, after the 2 shoes were thrown yesterday at out illustrious President, I'm thinking there are going to be many, many similar displays January 19 or 20th, depending on the party, really, to throw shoes at the outgoing clown.
