Since I know I'm going to get some heat for my comments about Hillary Clinton being the "new Age woman" - allow me to further expand on this thought.
I've said some things that lots of women in todays society find to be either ridiculous or flat out ignorant. Is it because they are right? Or is it proof of what I'm speaking of? Is it true, that my comments are ridiculous or ignorant ... Or are they just Misinformed and Unaware?
Lots of women got upset for my blog about "women in Chat rooms" - while much of what I wrote was true, I often had no idea what they were so upset about. Todays New Age woman however gets upset about anything written about women, that does not cast women in a positive light.
Women have somehow lost the ability to look at themselves subjectively.
Any article written about women, women take personally, and judge from a standpoint of whether or not they think of themselves in that light; Key phrase there, it's how they view themselves.
The New Age woman does not take into account other people's opinions; Sometimes that's a great tactic, because let's face it, not everyone's opinion is worth considering; But ... the new age woman does not consider ANYONE's opinion; NO matter who they are, how well educated they are, or what their intent may be. The ONLY opinion that matters is their own.
This is the prime motivation behind the Fat Woman's movement; Fat women have decided that they are sexy; No matter what most men seem to think; The rejection they face when making this kind of approach to life, often leaves them bitter and jaded - and more and more, rather than falling into depression because men just aren't into them; They're falling into hatred for mankind - They regard men as pigs, and dogs, and have talked themselves into truly believing men only want 'one thing'.
They completely ignore the fact, that men want not only that one thing, but much more. Men want a friend, a companion, someone who's into what they are into. Someone who can talk about the things they're interested in... and more and more what's happening is, these women only bring ONE thing to the table; They only bring ONE common interest.
So it's not that men only want 'one thing' - it's just that that's the only thing you have, that they're interested in. Gone are the ideas that a woman should also seek to improve herself; To constantly become better - now, Women expect men to love them as they are. The New Age woman is not interested in being defined by man; They seek to define themselves ... which is ok, except for the situations when their definition of woman, doesn't measure up to what Society needs Woman to mean.
I spoke of the housewife's idea ... this is something I've been talking about for years. I'm all for women working if that's what they want to do; Especially if there are no kids involved, or if the kids are grown and able to take care of themselves; However the working woman spawned the latchkey kid. The kid with no supervision after school, the kid being raised by television and movies - and often not getting the kind of positive influences that they need, while young.
It has helped create this dumbed down society that we presently live in - our women have dropped the ball under the guise that it wasn't their ball to begin with.
And don't let me get into the Loose Age of Women which is also here - where women no longer respect themselves; where women wear next to nothing and expect men not to have a perverted, horny, sexual reaction to what they are seeing.
How men are, is usually disregarded; To the new age woman, they expect man to be what They want man to be. If a man likes sex, something is wrong with him according to todays New Age Woman. You've heard the bumper sticker quotes - from the woman in the tank top, "hey my face is up here" ... Ok, cover up your tits then please.
If you're gonna show em off, be prepared for the attention. ... thats common sense.
But today's woman goes more off of what Cosmo tells them to think, than what some "man" would say ... especially daddy. Oh Daddy, you're just so over protective; Oh daddy, times have changed, women can do more now.
And for all the things women can do now, are we really better off??
Divorce rates are higher than ever - America is Over Weight - The people are getting dumber and dumber - Violence against women continues to rise - clearly, something is missing.
Not to sound corny but the answer is really simple - Love.
What really happened with the Women's liberation Movement is, women were made to Love differently - to Love conditionally - and sometimes, not to Love at all.
I'm so serious.
Women are full of hate in today's society - you look at Clinton's campaign; there is No love in it for Barrack at all; a team-mate when it comes to the battle versus the Republicas; But where is her love?? She wants to win at any cost. Under the guise that, that's how men are too.
Some men, sure - but other men dropped out of the race a long time ago - other men have shown love to what is most likely a Better Opponent; Something that is often over looked in men, is that while some of us cannot do this, most of us can admit it when one man, is better than we are.
I'll admit it, Men who can put up with Today's woman, are better than me; They have more patience than I have. They have a kinder softer heart than me. This rude, disrespectful women you'll find just about anywhere in today's society bother me to no end; While other men are either not bothered - or actually like it.
This isn't to suggest that there are no good women - but truth is they are far and few between; Because most women, like most people, just want to fit in. So there are many women who truly are only doing what they are doing, because they See other women doing it; because other women are telling them to do things that way. They really have not sat down and thought about their actions, the results of the things they do and say. They have not contemplated the benefits of a 'gender role society' - where women seek to fill in where men are missing.
The kind of society where women return to loving, to nurturing, to seeking to build men up and make men better than they are. Rather than seeking to break men down, to make men easier to control; As if they don't realize that Love is a better way to control a man than any other tactic.
So ... I'm asking women; Where is the love?

The Dean of the Democratic Party says ... "One Must Go"
He's right.
The longer this square off goes on, the higher the chance of John McCain becomming the next President of the U.S.A.
Hillary Clinton represents the "new age woman" - she is of the ilk that seeks to prove they are just as good, just as equal, just as whatever as men are; At any cost. She's almost like a butch dyke ... The kind who constantly competes with men - the kind who has no respect for men whatsoever, and would never, ever admit to losing to one.
This race was over months ago. Obama's lead was so large that it would be improbable for her to come back; She could stay in the race, and make the results closer than they were, but in all likelihood, she was going to lose - and is going to lose, but in the end, the longer she keeps this going, the more likely that He is gonna lose too.
In fact, what this all means is, WE are going to lose.
That is the end result of this "new age woman" - The Post Woman's Liberation Movement woman who feels that being a house wife is somehow, a demeaning role - who believe that Women should be the head of the household, not men. You know, the New Age Woman of "This Society" - who cares nothing for the old 'gender roles' that helped make this society strong - in the long run, what they have done to us as a country is help us Lose.
It bothers me, because what Hilary is doing with her debates, with her commercials, is casting doubt in the very people needed to help the Democrats win, that the Other guy can do the job. She is muddying the waters, blind to what will happen in the long run. Then again, perhaps she knows.
Perhaps she ... like many White Americans, just do not want to see a Black Man win this position; and will do anything to stop it from happening. Afterall, lets be honest - Politically it really does not matter who's in office, at least it has not up to this point. Life doesn't get easier for black people, and rarely gets worse for whites. I mean they have made this race... an issue of race .. so let's not shy away from that now.
Republican values focus highly on providing a better way for rich, (often white) people. Their values appeal greatly to blacks who have disconnected from 'the hood' - who have no interest in going back and helping out the communities they come from.
Democratic values, which usually are interested in helping minorities out, often upset the rich, and turn them off from the idea of helping those less fortunate, in the united states; they simply don't do enough to speak out against instances of racism that still lingers in our society - rarely do they do enough to preach the importance of those at the top, reaching down to help those at the bottom come up to where they are.
So it almost really doesn't matter - but it's clear that democratic rule is often better for blacks, and other minorities, than republican rule - Also from a world view, the desire to negotiate and debate or talk things out is higher on the priority list for Dems, while Republicans love going to war.
That is what's refreshing about Barrack's message of the need to Change - and so far he's shown that; While Clinton attacks, insults, and dirties his name - he does not respond to with the same tactics; He sticks to the issues, showing us that even his campaign is different - but will the average person realize that? .. or buy into the rhetoric of the medias sound bytes.

Dean says either Clinton or Obama must drop out in June
Mon Apr 28, 8:41 AM ET
Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean said Monday that either Hillary Rodham Clinton or Barack Obama must drop out of the Democratic presidential race after the June primaries in order to unify the party by the convention and win the election in November.
But Dean didn't say which candidate should drop out, only that it should happen after primary voters have been to the polls.
"We want the voters to have their say. That's over on June 3," Dean said in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America."
Dean also said that while the party rules say Democratic superdelegates can wait until the party's August 25 convention to make up their minds, that would be too late to unify the party and defeat the presumptive Republican nominee, John McCain.
"We really can't have a divided convention. If we do it's going to be very hard to heal the party afterwards," Dean said. "So we'll know who the nominee is and that'll give us an extra 2 1/2 months to get our party together, heal the wounds of having a very closely divided race and take on Senator McCain."
Dean said he won't have to tell either Clinton or Obama when it's time to leave the race.
"Either of these candidates, if it's time for them to go, they'll know it and they will go," Dean said. "They don't need any pushing from me. You know when to get in and you know when to get out. That's just part of the deal."
"This is not about Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama," Dean added. "This is about our country. It's about a better course for our country. ... We've got to move on and win the presidency."
Obama has more delegates and popular votes than Clinton, but she is also fresh off a big-state win in Pennsylvania.
Dean said that "none of the so-called party elders I talked to" think the contest should go until the convention. "I agree with that," Dean said.
"We've got nine more primaries ... Five hundred of the 800 unpledged delegates have already said who they are for. The remaining 300 will do that by the end of June and we'll know who our nominee is and that's what we need to do," Dean said on NBC's "Today" show.

Shout Out - Kumasi
My boy from College here... well not "my boy" but a real cool cat I had the pleasure of knowing, and breifly working with while out in San Diego; My search for more info on Elaine Brown took me to her MySpace page, and to my surprise, my boy Kumasi was on there, top friends ... man, looks like son is doing well.
Check my dawg out, and support his message.
Check my dawg out, and support his message.
More on Elaine Brown... New Age of Racism
I admit it - I am thoroughly impressed by Elaine Brown. The video I posted happened to be from a different speech; I discovered that she's actually been on the talking circuit, visiting Colleges and delivering what is in my opinion a Very important lecture concerning the past, present, and most importantly the future of our Nation.
She really breaks it down; not sure if you took the 2 hours needed to listen to the video I posted, but you really should; After doing so it will become evidently clear to anyone, regardless of race, how much work is yet still to be done; how we have all been duped into believing lies about the foundation of this nation, and it's greatness.
We equate greatness to wealth - to the ability of someone to rise from the ashes, and find him or her self living the good life - we say that it couldn't happen anywhere else, and yet, we overlook what is also happening - we look at the exceptions to the rule and wonder what is wrong with everybody else; We ignore the string of luck involved that many of those people, those success stories needed to experience the success that makes others call them "The Exception".
Brilliant points on how we take 5% of a race who immigrated here, succeeded here, and then we equate it to their entire Race - ignoring that often their race is poor in the country they came from - their race is having the same kinds of problems that come with Oppression and Struggle.
The person who comes here from Vietnam, starts a business, and succeeds, is not the Norm. Yet that person is held up as a barometer to blacks who were born here - to suggest that something is wrong with black people - The few blacks who succeed in this nation are also held up as a barometer. The reality that most of these success stories are "Entertainers" ... the fact that there are only so many openings in that world, that The Production companies only give out so many contracts, is ignored.
And white people in this nation ... ignoring all these facts, snub their noses at and look down on black people, convinced that something is genetically wrong with them, or that they are somehow naturally inferior to them.
... and other races as well.
I just love how she put the True History of America into a context that makes sense - and hopefully, makes sense to non-black people who have been bombarded with racist views about black people in America.
I'm going to look for her talk with the people at UCLA, as was mentioned in the article found @ the link I gave you yesterday, to the Wave Publication - a local newspaper; I want to share a quote from that article that inspired me to look for more information on this powerful woman.

“This New Age racism completely disregards American history and says that our present condition is all to do with personal choice,” explained Brown. “We have the highest infant mortality rates, Black women and children make up 65 percent of AIDS cases and perhaps the most damning stat, less than one percent of U.S. revenues come from Black businesses. We’re still not free and we’re living in the house of our oppressor.” - Elaine Brown

A Polyocracy? - Noam Chomsky
Gotta get that money yall ... Money is power, literally;
You see, America is not 'evil' so to speak; and while we do spend a bit of time making sure to point out that the country is not perfect, that it has done wrong at times in the past, we also should spend some time on one of the more positive aspects of this American system;...
If one has enough desire and if they also have enough tenacity to go after a dream - they Can acheive it; More importantly in this country the Rich people make the decisions, they rule the land, they can help improve schools, communities, they've got power.
Please, don't give up on your dreams...

Barrack vs. Clinton - In PA
Once again, they went at it folks...
And once again they are harping on Barrack's assocation with Rev. Wright.
Again, I take issue with how the media turns a blind eye to the history of this country; which I Just wrote about, as only having the potential to be great; Because of it's past, the comments made by Reverend Wright, were right. They were truthful; and yet they continue to try to 'spin' this in a negative direction;
Click here to watch the debate between them on this topic:
What do you think of all this? It's clearly not going away, so was he "Wright?"
Clinton talks about how we need to find a way to bring people together, and I agree - we do; and I will continue to say the only way to do this, is to get White People to stop talking so positively about every aspect of America - to stop being so Polarizing, to get rid of the "You're ether with us all the way, or you're against us" ... if you dont see everything about America's past as a positive.
It's completely unrealistic, and inconsiderate towards black people to take this tone; and to tell black people that they NEED To also have this tone, or else they're Un-American.
America has never stood for justice or equality for black people.
America has never had the backs of black people in this country; and Recent events like Katrina don't help change that perception; the ongoing problems in black communities which NOBODY seems to care about, doesn't help change that perception. And the actions our media is taking to completely disregard the point made by this preacher, to call his comments crazy, divisive, and the like - none of those actions or decisions change the perception, that America does not care about black people.
I called into the Tammy Bruce show a couple weekends ago and had this very conversaton with her on the air; I let her know that she influences many people listening to her show, and that it's irresponsable of her to make the kinds of comments she makes on the air; Comments that equate this man to a psychotic nutjob; All in efforts to undermine his message...
If you do wrong to others - others will want to do wrong to you.
America is a country that has, and in many people's eyes, continues to do wrong to others; So ... others will want to do wrong to America.
What's so divisive about that? What's so crazy ... so odd?
We're talking about Human Nature here...
anyways, that's my thoughts on this matter, please be sure to share yours below.
Watch Obama discuss "patriotism" & "manufactured issues":
Also, watch Barrack "Brush his Shoulders off" as he discusses the "new record" set by last night's debate:

A more just society...
I was reading about the Pope's Visit to the USA and his meeting with our President, and was inspired to share a few words on what the pope would like the USA's leaders to do; to govern in a more Just and Moral way.
Sounds great doesn't it?
This is however the precise problem with people who address the USA - who claim to be shocked by the war in Iraq; from the threat of terrorism we have taken over a country and every day we kill innocent Iraqi's who had nothing to do with 911, who don't support terrorism, and who just wanted to live their lives; Every day we help those who do want to harm us, to recruit the relatives of those innocents killed by the USA.
What we are doing over there is no surprise.
See, that's just the problem - People fail to realize that the USA has never been a just, moral nation. I'm so glad that in 1964 they were able to draft the voters rights act, allowing black men and women who had contributed SO Much to the American Society, to finally have a voice in who the leaders would be in their communities, and to have a say in who leads this nation.
Great!
After 400 years of Slavery and Segregation, time enough to mentally disable the majority of black people in this country to be nothing more than followers of what was given to them, great! After breaking the very humanity of these people - great! After ripping any knowledge of their past from them, after destroying any unity they could have as a people - Great!
This is precisely the problem in this country.
Sure we've got the potential to do what's right - to be a great nation - to be the very best in the world; We've got freedoms that other nations don't have But keep in mind that Many of these freedoms were denied to black people for 400 years... that when black people finally got the freedom to speak their mind, that many were shot and killed for what they had to say; that freedom for black people, is not the same as freedom for whites.
This country STILL has a long way to go before it can ever claim to be a just, or moral nation. Specifically I put the blame ... or the responsibility on white people, to stop referring to this nation as great already, as if it's already accomplished great status; and refer to it as Potentially Great.
We've patted ourselves on the back too much in this country; and it takes away from the work that still needs to be done; it causes anger at remarks of a pastor who's only speaking the truth; but it's perceived as Hate Speech, because so many white people feel this nation is Already Great.
This perception causes a problem.
It's like when people come up to me talking badly about Kobe Bryant; The man is already great, and sometimes I percieve anyone with anything negative to say about Kobe, which may sometimes be true, as Hate-Speech.
It's not hate speech when it's true.
It's not a great country, till it's a great country, till it truly becomes a more just, and moral country; We've got work to do folks; I hope you're up to the challenge.
Sounds great doesn't it?

We The People!
One of the things I like about Barrack is, like Kennedy he reminds us that We the People do have power.
It's time for people to unplug from the meaningless, and plug into the meaningful.
There are so many meaningless things on television, and while they are indeed entertaining, we're almost abusing the drug at times; Everything in Moderation, right? So to could be your outlook on Meaningful "Programming"
Words are very powerful and it's no secret to me why they call it Programming; Believe it or not, fact is what you watch does influence how you think, feel, and react or respond to every day situations.
Simply by watching Survivor all of the time, your mind can become programmed to look for ways to 'survive' - and you may even find yourself stabbing others in the back to do so, since you've watched so many others do that very thing in order to win; Often it's unconscious - we don't always intend to do things but many of us on auto pilot will find our selves doing and saying things that hurt, or harm others.
When we realize it, we either apologize or, thanks to pride try to find a way to justify what we did; Truth is, we've been programed by this society to do, and say some pretty horrible things; We've allowed ourselves to forgive and even re-elect some horrible people; partially because they remind us of ourselves; or because we feel that having them in office will further our own agenda's (depending on who we are). Meanwhile the rest of us may not Vote at all because we've allowed ourselves to be programmed to think it won't matter anyway.
But it does matter.
Allow me to explain why we NEED to be involved in the Political arenas - because the future is watching us now; that's why. There will always be crooks and criminals who look to get into positions of power for the money that comes with the title. So knowing this, we must inspire future generations to be Just Leaders. We must inspire them to want to run for these offices so that they can change things - and not just the Political Offices, but the Business Offices as well - many of the Corporations with Billions of Dollars to influence laws, are constantly jockeying for position.
The only way to fight back - is to become one of them.
Never allow yourself to believe that Opportunity is limited; Opportunity is truly unlimited. The law of abundance states that "You have within yourself everything required to make your earthly incarnation a paradise if you choose to accept that which is your divine birth-right. We live in a Universe of abundance, although the majority of those populating our planet appear to view it as a Universe of scarcity."
This idea, this way of thinking that jobs are few and far between, that opportunity to 'change our stars' is a pipe dream, all comes from the programming of modern society - usually ran by the very Corporations who seek to Hold onto their Power.
But the truth is, every idea that has made them rich, is just that - an Idea.
You have Ideas every single day that would earn you Millions of Dollars per year if only you would act on them, to make them a reality.
And when you make your millions, Give back - Re-invest into the community - help inspire other people to act on their ideas - to become Millionaires, Billionaires, to help Change this nation, and this world.
We Can do it!

'Dumb Blonde' Is A Myth
A lawyer and a blonde woman are sitting next to each other on a long flight from Los Angeles to New York.
The lawyer leans over to her and asks if she would like to play a fun game.
The blonde is tired and just wants to take a nap, so she politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.
The lawyer persists, saying that the game is really easy and a lot of fun. He explains how the game works: "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me, and visa-versa."
Again, the blonde politely declines and tries to get some sleep.
The lawyer figures that since his opponent is a blonde he will easily win the match, so he makes another offer.
"Okay, how about this, if you don't know the answer you pay me only $5, but if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500."
This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring that there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, she agrees to play the game.
The lawyer asks the first question." What's the distance from the earth to the moon?"
The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.
Now, it's the blonde's turn. She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?"
The lawyer looks at her with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references. He taps into the Air-phone with his modem and searches the Net and even the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends E-mails to all his coworkers and friends he knows. All to no avail. After over an hour of searching for the answer he finally gives up.
He wakes the blonde and hands her $500.
The blonde politely takes the $500 and turns away to get back to sleep.
The lawyer, who is more than a little frustrated, wakes the blonde and asks, "Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?"
Again without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep.
