I LOVE AMERICA and Looking Forward to Voting for Hillary in 2016!

I've been contemplating recent global, national and media events, of late.
I am many adjectives. Concerned. Perplexed. Pondering. Wondering. Questioning.

The world is a complex place.
There are so many sides to each issue.
The complexities are FAR beyond Red and Blue.
The complexities are FAR beyond American and Global.

People are Good.
People are Evil.
People are Both.
The bottom line is PEOPLE WANT POWER.

I have been studying recent events:
. Snowden
. Michael Hastings
. The Media
. Middle East
. Benghazi
. Gun Killings, Weapons of Destruction
. Hate Groups Advocating Use of Weapons (Militias)
, The Supreme Court
. Right Wing Radio (and their insanity)
. Women's Rights, Minority Rights, Gay Rights = Equality
. President Obama
. Hillary Clinton
. The Far Right
. The Left

Then considering ALL OF THIS, how on earth can we expect the very political right and left to come together to establish a mutually agreeable policy to resolve our Immigration Issues in America? Frankly, I don't believe it is possible.

So many conflicts. So much politics.
Where is the Humanity? Where is the Justice?

All we can do is ask our political leaders to allow our country to continue our Freedoms:
. Love our Families
. Make our Own Choices
. Equality for All

While I contemplated ALL of this, it suddenly occurred to me -- the REAL REASON other countries Hate Us = as was said in Shawshank Redemption: THEY HATE US FOR OUR LOVE! 

Regardless of the schemes of the Political Right or the Political Left, each of us, each American, STILL has their Freedoms. We have Freedom of Speech -- freedom to disagree or approve. We have Freedom to LOVE Our Family and Friends. We have Freedom to IGNORE! We still continue to Live our Lives REGARDLESS of Who is in Power. We have Freedom of Religion. We have Freedom of Work, Education, Freedom of Fun! Going to the Movies, Playing Games, BUT MOST OF ALL, WE HAVE FREEDOM TO LOVE OUR FAMILIES!

We are not the war torn countries. WE ARE AMERICA and I Like It Here!

WE DO HAVE the Freedom to Vote!
I Can Hardly Wait until 2016 WHEN I have the RIGHT to Vote For Hillary Clinton!!

Evil InJustice in Maricopa County Presumes GUILTY With No Chance of Justice!

There is so much Injustice in Maricopa County! Arpaio and his evil cohorts inflict Evil Pain and Suffering on Hard Working Latinos!
ONE EXAMPLE: In early February, 2013, Arpaio and his goons raided Sportex Apparel in Tempe, AZ. The goons arrested 23 workers. The workers, using “made-up” Social security numbers were wrongly charged with “Identity Theft” and jailed in Arpaio’s vermin infested jail.  

Yesterday, after 3 weeks in Arpaio’s vermin infested jails, the unfairly jailed workers were finally brought to court. The 23 jailed workers were seated in a “fishbowl for humans.” The Latino Workers were Mothers, Fathers, Sons, Daughters, Grandmothers and Grandfathers, all de-humanized in Tent City by Arpaio and his Goons. Now, in court, they all listened quietly to the charges read against them.  The multiple charges were read against them, in rapid succession. In an obnoxious twist of American jurisprudence, these men and women are PRESUMED GUILTY due to a cruel and ingenious policy created by now disgraced and disbarred former Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas, and carried on by his successor, current County Attorney Bill Montgomery.

In this Maricopa Court, Justice is NOT Served as in an American Court. Instead, these Latinos are treated as GUILTY, attempting to Prove their innocence.  Even the charges are NOT Fair! In looking for work, they may have made up numbers, they did NOT steal Identities, yet they were charged this way.

In real life, the most frequent culprits of Identity Theft are Family Members or Theft Rings that Steal Your Bank Account or Credit Cards to deplete your funds. They are not these Innocent Workers who Make Up numbers so they can work for less than Minimum Wage. The most harm they could do if they perchance happen upon your number is give you more income and deductions, they DON’T Steal Your Identity.  

Worse yet, in Maricopa County, these Latino Workers  are presumed GUILTY and because they are presumed to be in the United States illegally and because they are presumed to have used fictitious Social Security Numbers, or the SSN's of the dead or the living in order to work long hours at low pay, they are over-charged by Montgomery's prosecutors, hit with counts that will make them non-bondable in Maricopa County, on par with murderers, rapists and child molesters.
The hard working Latino men and women apprehended by Arpaio and his goons for working sans authorization at Sportex CANNOT  be granted bond under the dictates of Arizona's Prop 100, and Montgomery's sadistic, anti-immigrant policies.

These Latino Women show the most effect of Arpaio’s EVIL Jails! These Latino Moms and Grandmas appear to be out of tears from their nights of crying, beaten down, away from their children and grandchildren. In Arpaio’s vermin and rat infested tent cities, rife with sexual attacks, these innocent moms and grandmas’ tears are dried on their cheeks with hearts broken by being ripped away from their families.

The workers, RIPPED AWAY from their Families, now must face the possibility of Deportation – ripped away from their children – or long stays in Arpai0’s rat infested tent city. These workers face worse punishment than the worst criminal offenders, including murderers and rapists.

Maricopa County and Arpaio continue to PROVE the WORST of the Republican Agenda. Times are Changing. We are Evolving to a Multi Cultural Society. We The People believe in fairness and WE THE PEOPLE will NOT ALLOW Arpaio to Continue his Reign of Terror!

Arpaio MUST BE Recalled Now!!

Ghana Rejoices in President Obama's Visit; Racist Texas Granny Rejoices in Decrease in Obama's Popularity

I wonder if everyone in America knows and understands how significant the election of Barack Obama is. Barack Obama's election is significant because now, all the world knows, a minority can be elected to the highest office in the most powerful country in the world. His election has BROKEN the glass ceiling. Forever more, the Presidency will be OPEN to ALL minorities.

Sure we have SAID it could happen, but it never could happen until someone was elected. This is greater than Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in baseball or Tiger Woods breaking the color barrier when he won Golf's Master's Tournament. We have a minority President. Now every door in the world is OPEN to all of us: Women, People of Color, People of every ethnicity, race, sexual preference. This means we truly ARE all equal! We ARE the Land of the Free and Home of the brave.

But not everyone is rejoicing in this great achievement!

I was in IHOP yesterday morning. My hubby and I were casually having breakfast. Across from us sat an elderly white couple, probably in their late seventies. The little grandpa and grandma had white hair, were slightly bent and, I imagined, both here for their senior breakfast. They were reading the paper. Suddenly the elderly granny excitedly and happily exclaimed in a loud voice (we all jumped and automatically listened): "Barack Obama's popularity rating if finally below 50%." Old grandpa jumped and looked embarrassed. He gave her a dramatic "shush" holding his finger to his lips. Old granny continued to beam, smiling from ear to ear, repeating what she had just said in a dramatic whisper.

My husband and I just looked at each other and giggled. "Old, racist coots," I thought. I mouthed to my husband, "Why do you think she is so happy?" He just shrugged. We didn't discuss it, but I knew. The old woman reminded me of Fuzzy Zoehller when he said about Tiger Woods, "that little boy should not order fried chicken or collard greens for the Champions Dinner next year."

The election of Barack Obama as President of the United States, the most powerful country in the world, has made a significant difference. His election is more significant than the Civil Rights Movement. His election is more significant than the Civil War. His election means a change for the world. All people of all colors, of every ethnicity, race, sexual preference know and understand we are all equal! There is NO going back now. No ONE group (or race/ethnicity or gender) stands superior or in power any more!

I saw on the news todayPresident Obama met with the people of Ghana, South Africa. The people of Ghana are rejoicing in the streets. For the first time in their history, the first time in the history of the world, the people of Ghana are rejoicing in the streets, heralding the visit of a U.S. President, our President, Barack Obama.

We as a nation should be PROUD! We should be rejoicing that diplomacy and honor and respect have been returned to the highest office of our land. People across the world are welcoming our President again, NOT hanging him in effigy, as they did with President Bush.

Yet, the same day, a little old white haired, white skinned granny was rejoicing in her IHOP booth in Dallas, Texas happy that our President's popularity ratings dipped below 50%.

Sadly, she is not alone. Many extremist right wing websites, tea party attendees and Fox News are also rejoicing at the President's decline in popularity.

Oh sure some will say they have the 1st ammendment right to hate our president, to chastise him and to wish him and our country into failure. They can be like the Limbaughs and Becks of the world who are drooling and wishing for another al quaida attack upon our nation to bring popularity back to their own agendas, regardless the impact and detriment to our United States of America.

What does that say about the right wingnuts in America? They are an embarrassment not only to our country but to the world. While most of us in our country and across the world are rejoicing in a return to sanity in the White House, these right wingnuts are wishing for failure for our President and are thriving in racism, hatred and anger right here in the U.S.A.!
