The South Won The Civil War!

That’s right the south won the civil war…you cant tell? You are mad because they want a Confederate History Month? Why? They won!

One thing that has been a thorn in my side is the lie about slavery. How it “ended”, how it was the reason for the Civil War, and last but not least how the Republicans were the proponents of the Civil Rights bill.


So lets bust the Civil War bubble…it’s the economy, stupid. If you want anymore info pertaining to that…look it up your damn self. I am so tired of hearing how a society that endorsed slavery in the Constitution would go to war to end it. Sure they would, just like every other war was fought for freedom. I still fondly remember how we went to the aid of the Rwandans’ when they were experiencing genocide…oh wait that didn’t happen did it?

Next if you are of the thought that slavery was the reason…results trump your opinion.
The Jim Crow laws were state and local laws in the United States enacted between 1876 and 1965. They mandated de jure racial segregation in all public facilities, with a supposedly "separate but equal" status for black Americans. In reality, this led to treatment and accommodations that were usually inferior to those provided for white Americans, systematizing a number of economic, educational and social disadvantages.


Some examples of Jim Crow laws are the segregation of public schools, public places and public transportation, and the segregation of restrooms and restaurants for whites and blacks. The U.S. military was also segregated. These Jim Crow Laws were separate from the 1800-66 Black Codes, which had also restricted the civil rights and civil liberties of African Americans.


So there is Jim Crow, Black codes, and separate but equal. Does that sound like slavery is gone after the Civil War? Think real hard and get back to me. Take your time…


Now of course there is the feather in the republicans cap about the Civil Rights act. Really? It was the Republicans?

And where did those republicans come from? The South? Hell no! I am so tired of the DAMN lie that the Republicans are for Civil Rights!


It was done this way...
The original House version:
Southern Democrats: 7-87 (7%-93%)
Southern Republicans: 0-10 (0%-100%)
Northern Democrats: 145-9 (94%-6%)
Northern Republicans: 138-24 (85%-15%)


The Senate version:
Northern Democrats: 45-1
Northern Republicans: 27-5
Southern Democrats: 1-20
Southern Republicans: 0-1


Now lets ask, have people migrated so much that those with racist views moved?


Hell no! The voting record clearly shows that the “Dixiecrats” are what we would call now…DINOS…Dems in name only. Now don’t get me wrong, racism is world-wide, so of course there are some in the North…aint Boston still on of the hotbeds. Or should I just say…sundown towns. Sure some will bring up Robert Byrd…he is a KKK member!

Or my favorite, it was the dems that created the KKK…ummmm…you mean six confederate soldiers from Tennessee, right? Here let me help you…Confederate=Republican=South.


They won, because only winners get to keep what they were fighting for.

Drill Baby Drill!

That’s right, there are resources that we are dismissing and its high time that we tap into this very valuable resource. Oil? Nope! Wisdom, experience, knowledge, and understanding.



That’s right people, I am speaking of the demographic that is becoming more and more discounted…elderstatespeople of this world. The group that we have through media, government, and social inconvenience denied ourselves of a vast amount of understanding.






You see for me, I did not see this because for me, my grandfather was a guide to me. He criticized and informed me to be the man that I am. I figured that everyone had that opportunity. Then I started to see things that concerned me, we are letting the resource go by the wayside. I ignored all the symptoms, all the signs. Then I wrote in a blog about what I would do as President, one of my acts would be to turn Social Security over to the people via state run banks with federal bonds as the way to be investment tools. There were many ideas I had, but that one garnered the most attention. But the attention came to me as fear of being thrown to the wind. I have always been of two accords with life and its path. I guess the best way to put it is two quotes from songs that I truly love.






“I believe the children are our are future Teach them well and let them lead the way.”


Greatest Love of All-George Benson.


“As today I know I'm living but tomorrow, could make me the past but that I mustn't fear” As- Stevie Wonder.






It took a long time to reconcile those two quotes, they seem to make one important, while making another dismissive. Now I understand, the teachers for our children are there, hell the teachers for me are here. We as a society and country have for far too long treasured a strong back, a worker bee. We dismiss education as if knowledge and experience isn’t more important. I now know just based on working in management…we need to work smarter, not harder. We need to tap into the resource, not bury it. So I will leave you with wisdom that I will never forget…






“Over the years I have become more of a 21st century socialist, I guess you could say. The common theory is that most
liberal thought and ideology pertains to the younger, naive, college tree hugger, hippy types and that it changes when you get older.
For me it was true. I lost that hippy ideology to the conservative, small government, big national security issues in my late 20's to my early 40's.
I began to get really interested in social issues and how they drive the political landscape though and the older I get, the more I see that
the hippy culture was right to begin with.


Check this thought: Companies pollute the environment and enslave the public to a capitalist run society. We buy their product at a cost to our health, the health of the planet and our freedom from capitalist rule.
You are caught in a conundrum that dictates your every waking minute. From the clock that tells you to get up in the morning, to the car you drive to work, the food you eat, the gas you buy that takes you to a job that you are forced to work just to stay in the system that is rigged against you and stripping away your right to an open and free society.


This is where the socialist movement comes in. It's the banning together of WE THE PEOPLE to form a more perfect union, strive for the things that matter to the public like Social Security, which is basically where THE PEOPLE decided to pool a little bit of everybody's money together for the period in our lives when we get kicked out of that system when we are too old to be enslaved to the capitalist system, and too old, useless and sick to make it anymore. “






“I am still on the Social Security issue. For many a current Social Security check in the mail covers only their bare minimum needs for food, clothing and shelter. You may know of some barely living and struggling on the thinnest margins now. Is it unrealistic to image a very bleak future, with all the woes of poverty for these additional millions of Americans. What about the other federal and state programs providing aid to those in need?


I know, if the can't find bread let them eat cake.”






When I read those quotes I felt pessimism and optimism. But I did learn that the future cant be without a past. We must be students of the past and allow the past to show us the way.

Its Only Called The Serenity Prayer...there is MORE!

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.



I just wonder do we know that courage and wisdom are in this prayer? We are so very capable of being serene, able to accept EVERYTHING!






It has become where right is considered utopian. Really? When did righting the wrongs of the world become a utopian vision? When did excellence lose its fight to perfection?






I know I am challenging one of the most commonly used prayers, but in fact, I’m not. I’m challenging the person that prays.






We need to see a brighter light, a glowing and powerful belief that hunger, death, and hopelessness cant go on in our world. Right shouldn’t be what we hope for anymore…it should be the standard…bare minimum.






Someone once told me that right is right even when all that is wrong attacks it. You must be diligent in standing on the side of right. Right doesn’t need your help, it needs your action. It will survive without you practicing what is right. I didn’t believe that until recently, now I know because I see so much wrong. I see the acceptance of it. We have become complacent to the wrongs, we have become slaves to stagnation. We have allowed what is to be and stay, accepting baby steps after we have already learned to walk. I was under the impression that after man learned to walk physically, mentally, and spiritually we could fly!






And fly we should! Lets get the courage by standing together not tear each other apart. Lets show we have wisdom by applying what we know is right and do it…today, tomorrow, and beyond.
