A Comment Worthy Of A Post

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Where's The Veterans, Where's The Priests, Where's...":

As an African decent, I do consider myself a 53 year old veteran women of color.

All this negro, afro, colored, black, african and "N" identification is nothing but history; good or bad.

Who cares.

What citizens should be concern about is the debt ceiling being raised or not.

How big corporation and millionaires/billionaires are reaping benifits on the backs of the middle class and poor.

How active duty military members are fighting in a war for no good reason.

How the unemployment rate continues to rise.

How the educational system is failing our children.

How this couontry is in a turmoil at this time.

And, the light inthe tunnel has yet to been seen.

We have this country first American President of color and his fighting for the rights of all people.

This man is stuck between a very hard rock and a hard place.

Republicans are acting like universal gods.

Democrates are acting as if they are too scare to look at their own shadow.

And, some of you are worrying about the pledge of allegance, church groups, pray vigils and the NAACP in this area.

Let's be real, the NAACP chapter, pledge of allegance, pray vigils, and all the church groups / organization line up alongside the route of Jersey Road/West Road in this area has never done a thing for the people of this community; especially our young men and women of color.

Had they kept up with the going on's, paid attention and the churches got more involved in their communities with our young "Black" sons and daughters and protected their well being for the past 20 years, most if not majority of our local young adults would not be living at WCDC.

This community is dying and has been dying slowly for many years. We are not business friendly.

We our not teaching our children survival skills that they will most definitely need if they should move away rom the eastern shore.

Our parents may lose their social security and medicare because of the greed of the rich.

And, their children may be unemployed or unable to take care of their parents, childrens or even friends.

The poor, middle class and unemployed will be at loose ends especially if the debt ceiling is not raised by August 2, 2011.

Who are you going to blame?

President Obama, prays, NAACP, the plegde of allegance, white, black, afro, africans, negroes, blacks, colored, red, blue, green, the rainow of colors, "N" word, racism or the council members.

Blame yourself for not paying an attention to detail.

We have a national crisis going on and you people are worried about a group of council men/women of this area you all voted for that hasn't done anything for us since they've been voted into office.

Further, you want to dump on a man (Joe Alberto) racist or not who has told nothing but the truth about this ragged time community that very well may be dead in ten years.

You people better get a grip.

Their are more important things that need to be address in this community like the plot of our young people whether they are white and/or people of color, especially the men.

And, you better watch the news and see how the house of representative / senate IS undermining and disrespecting the President of this here United States of America.

It doesn't matter what his nationality is.

Because, if you blink an eye and think the next president will be better; you'll have a president who feels and have signed a pleged with a big corporation that reads; "black" babies were better off in slavery then they are under this presidency and in a household with a single mother.

You people better get a grip.

Is this the kind of town, city, state or country you want in the very near future?

Enslaved by the rich and big corporation who really don't give a damn about people of ALL colors, NAACP, pray vigils, the pledge of allegance, and most of all freedom and free will.

Despite a well spoken argument, it does matter what his nationality is. If he was not born in the US he MAY NOT be President.

Your RIGHT! I was one of those posts upset about removing the pledge & prayer, but the pledge or prayer won't fix whats right in front of us. Our God will see us through, but it may be at a cost decided by the selfish, money hungry, large corporations that are controlling this country. Thank you for posting!!

This blog is getting bad about not posting things. I made a simple statement that this post would have been good if a third grader had written it and it was not posted. The spelling and grammar is bad. (to be kind)

Anon 1636 -

I apologize for the problem but I personally approved that comment. It must be an issue with Blogger.

Great post.

Couple of things - the Pledge was not removed from the meetings. Shame this blog had to pull a Daily Times and print something just to get hits. Like this blog most of the time. But I listen close when I watch PAC14. I got it.

Also, this council members just changed over. This lady says none of these people have done anything for "us".

I disagree. Debbie Campbell and Terry Cohen have done a lot for just "us" folk in Salisbury. They have been fighting for things that make everyone's lives better. I'll put Tim Spies into the mix too because he was working his butt off for people before he got elected and served our country too. Maybe if we cared enough to get involved, which is why they did and not because they wanna go grow up and be guvner someday like some politicians we know, maybe we could get more regular folk like them elected.

But mostly I agree with this lady. Americans have rolled over for the greedy, got fat and complacent, then now that we need to take action, we've let it go so far most of us are strugling just to stay alive.

Sorry but if you believe the Nationality of our U.S. President is irrelevant then you simply do not understand the world or power.

Our Nation is being attacked from WITHIN its borders - heck, it is being attacked from Washington D.C.

The President of the United States MUST be born in America. Period. In addition, we must STOP the appointment of these Czars and Cabinet Members who have DUAL CITIZENSHIP with other countries (notably Israel). It MUST be stopped or our once great Nation will be swept into the trash can of history.

I was wondering... I spent a great deal of time and effort yesterday preparing a comment to this post and I didn't see it posted. Because it was an anonymous comment, I don't know if you can tell me why it wasn't posted. Was it deemed to be not "postworthy," was it deemed offensive, or what? I would just like to know for future reference, because I tend to get a bit passionate in my opinions. The main thing you may remember that might help you to identify the comment was, essentially, she was right about not blaming Obama, Dems, Republicans, etc, you should "Blame yourself for not paying...attention." Can you help me out?
