U.S.Senate blog for the day

Finally the day that I have been waiting for Election day in Nebraska it is hard to do any constructive speaking when you have zero idea who your opponents will be, after today I will be able to see who the survivors are and speak on the same issues they choose to address as well as bring up in State issues they may wish to avoid. Now is the time to be ready for the coming year and the serious planning involved as I myself plan to as time allows visit as many Towns, Villages and Cities large and small as I can until the general election in November. All that any man or woman can do is choose carefully how you intend to get your message out to the people and that is what I intend to do get my message out there in a way that will both capture peoples attention and imprint my name in their minds and memories so come November they may care enough to seek a different kind of leadership in Washington D.C. than that which currently inhabits that City and inhibits the freedoms we were given long ago. So be ready my Friends and Family throughout the State and all my fellow Nebraskans because sooner or later over the course of this year Shan Ferguson will be coming to your town, for now keep in mind that "Chance truly does favor the prepared mind.

Blog #3 U.S.Senate Race trying something a little different today.

Today I am trying a different approach to this so that perhaps people will see that I am absolutely serious about being a write in Independent Constitutionalist Candidate for the U.S. Senate from Nebraska, today I will give my thoughts on the very hot and controversial issue of illegal immigration into The United States. First and foremost the top priority is greatly enhancing the Security of the Southern Border of The United States why you say would I specify the Southern Border? my response would be if you have ever went to and returned from Canada you would not even bother asking this question to begin with. If you google and look at Mexico's Southern Border it looks like Fort Knox and yet the same Government that has done that to their border has an absolute meltdown when anybody here suggests doing that to America's Southern Border why because they are well paid by the drug cartels who do not want a secure border which would greatly hamper their illicit smuggling. So therefore to stem the flow of illegal drugs flowing freely into our Country from points South we must strengthen our borders both at ground level and below ground as well, this would also greatly reduce the sheer volume of Illegals entering our Country. Second part becomes far more complicated however as there are a variety of reasons these people have come here the way they did and not all of these people are bad as a point of fact only a very small portion of the Illegals in this Country are criminals, the rest are decent people that fled the land of there birth for either political or financial reasons and quite simply could not afford the exorbitant costs that these Country's impose upon people that wish to leave their Country the legal way and some Countries just will not allow people to leave sad yet true. Now unlike the Vice President and several idiots who claim these people are already Americans because they have been here so long to which I call BULLSHIT I think that those of them who are decent people should be given a period of three months to come forward and make contact with immigration and naturalization to began the process of becoming Naturalized American Citizens I believe that given that opportunity all the decent people will come forward to start that process, the only ones who would remain in the shadows as the Liberals like to say are the outright Criminal element and they are a whole other problem these people fled from their Countries of origin because they were 1. Wanted Criminals down there and the Police were closing in on them or 2. came here as a drug mule for one cartel or another and never left after arriving. The major problem is they commit the same terrible crimes here and when caught cannot be prosecuted because they are not American Citizens, these people used to be detained until such a time as they could be deported back to wherever they came from no more due to the current Administrations policy of do not detain or deport. Well to my thoughts since they came here as criminals and have continued to be criminals they should face the exact same justice as any other person in the State they are in, the whole process is compounded by lobbyists from the A.C.L.U which has to stick it's nose into everything the main thing is though if you say leave here and go to Singapore and commit a crime there and get caught you will face whatever penalty any other person in Singapore would don't believe me ask that idiot kid who was over their spray painting cars how his back felt after the Caning that he suffered. The real issue is there are so many millions of them here that the whole process of finding them all and deporting them all would cost hundreds of billions if not a trillion or more dollars to accomplish so that is not a viable option, compounded on top of that a lot of these people have been here for several years long enough to have children and start families which even if the parents happen to be here illegally the children who were born here are legal American Citizens, thus if you deport the parents obviously they will be taking their children with them and I do not think you can legally deport American Citizens from America. Now though I am far from being in favor of the absolute amnesty that so many others are pushing for I think that is a slap in the face of every man and woman who did go through channels and come here legally, as I said if you give these people a set time to come forward "OUT OF THE SHADOWS" and start the long process of naturalization most of the decent law abiding ones will do just that in fact for most that is the opportunity that they want in the first place. They would than just as the legal immigrants have had to do and are still doing have to learn the history of this great Nation and would also have to learn the language which would make communication so much easier than it currently is. If you have any thoughts or suggestions please leave them unlike the career politicians who are currently ruining our Country I do have an open mind and do not give two craps about party lines.

Some more thoughts U.S. Senate blog number 2

I have been meaning to do this for the last several days but really have not that much time working two jobs to get by sucks, it does however make you appreciate those things that you can provide for your family all the more. I also have come to understand what Peter Gabriel meant in the song In Your Eye's when he said I get so tired of working so hard for our survival I know the feeling well, but enough rambling now down too the business at hand. I have not had any questions left in the comments section though plenty of people have read it reposted it agreed with it and even re tweeted it for me and I thank you all for your efforts and your help. I should first maybe give you a little background on things so you may get things in proper perspective, first off as I had stated in my last post and I was not kidding I am in fact running as a write in Candidate for the United States Senate in Nebraska. I had said that I am running as an Independent Constitutionalist that is the first thing I will go into here, the Independent is self explanatory as when I registered to vote originally back in High School I registered as an Independent. the Constitutionalist is a little more complex however as I said I began researching into the requirements that State and Federal Government impose on people to get their name on the ballot and quite frankly the whole thing is insane. I decided to run as a write in Candidate and to go on the basic tenets set forth in the Constitution for a reason by the guidelines in the Constitution as set up by our forefathers there are three basic requirements that need to be met to run for either the Senate or the House of Representatives. 1) The Candidate must be at least 30 years of age at 52 I think I have achieved that requirement and than some. 2) the candidate must have been a citizen of The United states for at least 9 years again at 52 I think that I have met that requirement 3) the Candidate must be a resident of the State they are running in again born in Nebraska and lived here for most of my life I think I meet this requirement as well. A part of what finally galvanized me into this action was seeing the ridiculous tax rate that our so called esteemed Government is putting onto the shoulders of working Americans in the budget they want to pass, now I know they are trying to find ways to fund the Not So Affordable Care Act but damn. people always smash on the tea party and they do so from both sides of the political aisle, the thing is though they forget that the tea party was originally a small movement and stands for "Taxed Enough Already" and they are correct in that the working Americans are taxed enough already and now the Fed is looking to increase that tax by nearly 3% a year over the next decade STOP ALREADY when is enough going to be enough? You see I am always getting stupid crap in my P.O. Box from Candidates on both sides wanting us to attend there dinner fund raisers for 3 to 5 hundred dollars a plate and got to thinking these rich little elite jerks do not need the money they simply do not want to spend their money they would rather spend someone else's money to annoy you for hours on end, especially when their rhetoric and the principles they supposedly stand by change daily in accordance with the groups they happen to be addressing. Now I am not a rocket scientist myself but I also am very sure it does not take one to recognize just how phony and bought and paid for these bastards really are which is in and of itself very sad, when they get elected to the House or the Senate they are supposed to be there representing the people of there States yet for the most part all they truly represent is the interests of the businesses whose lobbyists happened to make the largest campaign contributions everyone knows this and yet continue to send these men and women back for another term are you all just trying to keep them out of your States so you send them to Washington D.C. so they can ass ram everyone nation wide? I have decided that unlike the rest of the greedy jackasses in the political landscape of this Country I will do everything to the polar opposite of them, I am not asking for looking for or accepting any campaign contributions that is not what I am about I would prefer people keep their money and use it for constructive things such as paying your bills or putting clothes on your children and food on your tables, you will not see me as I work my way slowly across the State of Nebraska when time and finances allow wearing some stuffy ass 1500 dollar suit from Brooks Brothers I would prefer to use that money to pay my bills no you will see me wearing blue jeans or perhaps cargo pants and usually a tee shirt that is who I am. I will as time permits be purchasing business cards with all the pertinent information on them to hand out as I make my way from town to town and people will see me stopping in places that the more affluent Candidates would never consider as a place to stop and chat with people most of them want the people to come to them whereas I will come to the people, in short I will be running a true GRASS ROOTS CAMPAIGN no B.S. no changing idealisms to suit the audience I am speaking to what you see is what you get a working pissed off American who will be in touch with the people because I am one of the people. Some may find it odd that I would come to this decision but I actually hope I inspire others across our Great Country to take action as I am and Rise up against The Government Machine that is destroying our Nation, stand tall my American Brothers and Sisters the only way to stop the madness is to get working class real people into these high offices and show them all that YOU CAN CHANGE WASHINGTON D.C. from the inside if you have the desire and tenacity to do so until the next post any questions or comments please leave them I will address them directly. Have a great day and a better tomorrow and remember that Chance Favors the Prepared Mind.

The time has come for action.

Yes I am saying that the time actually is way past due for action to be taken, all the recent events in this Country and Globally prove my point for me. We have a congress comprised largely of Doctors and Lawyers and others in this elite rich mans club, we have a President who was before politics a failed lawyer and Constitutional law professor who instead chose to be a community organiser. Now I ask you where exactly has that gotten us as a Country? What exactly have they accomplished in this decade that shows any real worth? What they have accomplished is running our Country The United States of America into the ground, what they have accomplished is making this Country weaker on the World Stage than it has been at anytime since before World War II. The time has come to enact real change and the only way to accomplish this is for we the every day working class blue collar men and women to stand up and proclaim as one that we have seen and heard enough of their bullshit, therefore I have decided to run for the United States Senate as an INDEPENDENT WRITE IN CANDIDATE I am running as an "Independent Constitutionalist" by this I mean that I am running on the grounds as set forth by our fore fathers in The Constitution of The United States of America. I got to researching and investigating all the requirements as set forth by the Governments at the Federal and State level and discovered exactly why more everyday people do not run for these public offices the elite's that inhabit them make sure that we will not do so. Between the outlandish fees they wish to charge people to get their name on the ballot, alone repel most from the idea but like all other things there are loop holes and ways around these tenet's they have thrown up as obstacles. I am hoping that my actions here in Nebraska will galvanize and motivate people like myself in other States to take the same action run as an Independent Constitutionalist buck the system and fight back against those who would oppress our efforts, run as a write in candidate in your States perhaps if enough people in enough of the 50 States follow suit we can be the beginnings of a new political movement in this Country. Barack Obama in 2012 proclaimed that you cannot change Washington D.C. from the inside yet in reality that is the only place you can enact change from, what is lacking is the desire of those in power to enact change they do not want to change the status quo and they do not want to be seeking employment outside of politics as they have ensured that employment outside of their cushy little offices is very hard to come by and would never support the lucrative and extravagant lifestyles they lead. This is a wake up call to the working class blue collar men and women of this Country rise up and stand for something complaining on social media will accomplish nothing, I am asking all my family and friends here in Nebraska to help me get this message out get others to read these words pass this link along. Until we the people rise together and take action to return Government to the people it will not be for the people and by the people as our Fore Fathers intended it will remain being for the wealthy elite and by the lobbyists for big corporate entities who act from behind a thin veil. I leave you with these words today as a call for action by all men and women across the United States I will make new posts daily from now until election day in November if you have questions leave them in the comments section and I will answer them all, remember that ACHIEVEMENT IS THE REWARD OF PERSERVERANCE have a great day and a better tomorrow Chance Favors the Prepared Mind.

Oh what a tangled web we weave.

When Ted Cruz and several others set out on the anti Obama Care crusade which led to the Government shutdown everyone was equally split between saying he was an asshole and saying he was right, well now a month into the launch of the healthcare.gov website and the activating of the NOT so Affordable Care Act people are starting to see the truth. When the Senator who wrote it for Barack Obama it would seem he was much to busy playing golf to do so himself. Well since the launch of the web site that does not work and the tremendously long wait time on the phone lines for said law even the Democrats who so openly supported the ACA are turning against it, now even the Democrats who supported it particularly those up for re election in 2014 are calling for a one year delay to get things working correctly. I find it humorous that even the Democrats are against it now for various reasons however in the over all scope of events their is nothing funny about the Affordable Care Act in and of itself starting out with the eighteen new taxes it will levy on middle class Americans that is bad enough as it is. Unlike a lot of people who are so pro Obama and take his every word as the undisputed truth I actually read the 2404 page ABOMINATION that is the ACA I also read the 100 plus pages of Congressional Pork Rinds thrown in for good measure. now as I understand it there are 20 thousand pages of regulations for the enactment? So after three years nearly a billion dollars spent on the site and 20 thousand pages of regulations for good measure the Affordable Care Act is sinking faster than the Titanic, poetic justice perhaps? No I think not it was doomed to failure from the conception simply because you cannot force Socialism down the throats of the unwilling. If you have studied American History and I do not mean that common core bullshit that this administration is pushing you would perhaps notice a few things, perhaps you would notice that a large part of the events that led to the American Revolution are occurring once more a large part of the events that led to the American Civil War are occurring once again. People need to wake the hell up and pay attention to what is happening in this Country, recently Obama and the administration have been rooting out and getting rid of those within the frame of the United States Military who are not in agreement with his policies, and he far more frequently bypasses Constitutional edicts when it suits his needs. Does anyone recall the Communist Revolution in Russia that led to the forming of the U.S.S.R.? or perhaps the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party which came about after he was duly elected to the office of chancellor? Do any of these events have any meaning to people anymore? If not they should because they are happening here and now my friends every single event playing out all over again in living color for all to see, the main problem is the what I have come to call the Obama Zombies or sometimes the Brain Washed Masses do not seem to care that all of their personal liberties are slowly being taken away, well I for one will continue to keep a weather eye on the unfolding events as I am a firm believer in an old saying that everyone should keep in mind for future reference because in these trying political and financial times "CHANCE FAVORS THE PREPARED MIND".

The B.S. behind Benghazi.

Hello one and all I had the opportunity to watch some of the proceedings of the so called whistle blowers on Benghazi before I left for work then had to listen to the recap of the events after I returned home late last night, I must say I was a bit shocked to see these people so willingly toss Susan Rice under the bus blaming her for the brekdown in events that occured and the aftermath. I do not claim myself an expert by any means however the last I knew the Ambassador to the U.N. or for that matter any U.S. Ambassador be it in El Salvador or Thailand works for the State Department ergo they work for the Secretary of State, so when Susan Rice went on television with the talking points she was given to work with on the events who is to blame? Her or the people who gave her the talking points to begin with? For that matter why was not Hilary Clinton herself doing the talk show circuits spreading the mis information it was after all her Department that was under scrutiny. I can guess at at least one reason that being that Susan Rice was available to do this also most likely ordered to do it and did not consider the fact that the talking points she was given were a gaggle of lies and half truths. I guess when you put too much trust in those above you that you work directly for in a politically motivated climate, you should first look at all the particulars yourself and then see what you have been given to work with and ascertain the factuality of what you have in hand. What she did going into the televised media demonstrating blind trust in the administration was basically career suicide, I would imagine that now that they are discussing calling her before them she will probably be reassigned to nowhere tasmania or something to assume the ambassador post there as I am sure that President Obama and his cronies do not want her telling her side of the story. Now on to something else on the situation that I found to be the biggest outright lie yet issued by any Government Official on this situation that being a statement made by the Under Secretary of Defense I believe it was saying that the approximate 7.5 hour time differential between the attacks at the consulate were not enough time to get a response team there. As far as I know I suppose this could have changed over time though not likely there is at least one Carrier and a variety of support vessels in the Medeterannean Sea at all times it is called a fast attack group and the name is there for a reason, from the Med a flight of F22 Raptors and a variety of other carrier bourne strike fighters could have arrived on scene in a very short time frame, these Carriers also have a large contingency of United States Marines on board for security as well as situations of this sort they also could have been on scene in a very short time frame being as there are plenty of choppers on board not to mention a few other types of planes they could have used for a low level air borne insertion if needed. I do know that Embassies and Consulates of the United States are considered as Sovereign U.S. Territory is it not the duty of the President of the United States and the State Department to protect American Territory from attack by all enemies foreign and domestic? So since it was obviously a bull crap statement that no help could have arrived in time and it was also a bullcrap statement that the attack was a spontaneous demonstration in response to an anti muslim video said video was posted on You Tube on July 2nd 2012 by the way and posted by an Egyptian as well, so it would seem that it took the Islamic World 2 months and 9 days to figure out that this video was insulting to them? Not to mention they show up for a spontaneous demonstration armed with heavy assault rifles and shoulder fired missles? Yes I totally believe that (I hope my sarcasm was evident there).The whole attack on the Consulate in Benghazi has been handled so inappropriately by the White House and the State Department that it makes me puke watching the newer events unfold, the President going on television the next day and babbling on about how we must exercise religious tolerance why did it take him 9 days to refer to the attack speciffically as a terrorist event? Why did it take him until the day after the Boston Bombing as a terrorist event? What in the hell does religious tolerance have to do with an American Consulate being attacked by an Al Queda sect and the Ambassador and three other men being killed? When the Ambassador called requesting help because they were under attack why were a few sqaudrons of fighters sent from carriers in the Med or perhaps from the Air Base in Rhiad Saudi Arabia? No I am sorry I do not believe an iota of the bullshit they have shoveled out to the public on this attack, nor should anyone with any knowledge of how the United States Military operates and knows the continuous training that those men and women go through to respond instantly to events like this, if those who have been permanently brainwashed by this man and support his twisted agenda want to believe him that is their call and their right, however for myself I believe that he and the others who choose to do nothing and let people die for no reason should be bought up on a variety of charges, that of course will not happen either as the Department of Justice is run by one of President Obama's finger puppets. I think that if they Impeached Nixon for Water Gate by the way nobody was killed in that particular instance, and impeached Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky affair again nobody died in this affair though he and Monica appearently had a good time with it all, why than is Barack Obama not being impeached for lying about Benghazi and the Fast and Furious debacle? The other two were impeached for lying should Barack Obama not be given equal treatment under the law? Just some food for thought for the day as always you are free to decide right and wrong on your own and at your own terms, until next time Have a great day and a better tomorrow and remember that now more than ever before "CHANCE FAVORS THE PREPARED MIND."

A few things to address today

I guess it has been awhile since I have posted on here not really sure as to why just been busy with the daily task of living and supporting my family I would guess, first off to all the dumbass conspiracy theory people who are claiming that the bombs in Boston Massachusettes were some "False Flag" operation initiated by the Government to get a practice run at Martial Law. Stop already enough is enough those making these claims are obviously entranced by the paranoid fear mongerers in the population today and ned to stop and think for themselves, is not the fear mongering from the Government itself enough? Navy Seals planted the bombs REALLY? 1. If the bombs had been made by any Navy Seals or other Special Operations Forces within the U.S. Military they would have been 3 times more powerful and the death toll would be a lot larger than 3, not to mention all of the bombs would have detonated. 2. What exactly do you see the Government gaining from something like that? I will tell you what is gained absolutely nothing all they would accomplish is the start of a new American Revolution doing so there would be fitting though considering it was the birthplace of the original American Revolution. 3> If this act had been done by Seals or other Special Operators they would not all be dressed identically, nor would any security camera footage been available as they would have been disabled shortly before the actual operation kicked in. So stop with the paranoid delusions and leave the fear mongering to the Government if you want to accomplish something stop voting for the same dumbass people every time an election comes around out with the old in with the new. Now to what I have actually came to write about today the above was not really it, I very recently finished reading President Barack Obama's book and no I do not mean his FICTIONAL BIOGRAPHY "Dreams from my Father" I have no grand desire to read that particular piece of trash. I am referring to his other book titled "The Audacity of Hope Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream.", first off I was not aware that the American Dream had been lost so as to need reclaiming and secondly after reading the book I figured out that it never actually gets around to thoughts of Reclaiming the American Dream at all. After reading this and no I did not waste any money to buy it my Wife found it in the "FREE BOOK BIN" where she works and asked me if I wanted it I think she was ready to take my temperature when I told her yes. I will now share with you some of the more entertaining and often contradictory quotes I found in these pages, had this book came out before he was elected to the Presidency I do not think he would ever have been elected. For instance in the first chapter titled Republicans and Democrats he rails against and demonizes all Republicans for there evil campaigning methoods being on the attack and smearing there opponents with every possible media outlet for anything they can dig up on them, what exactly was it he was doing throught the Democratic primaries in 08 and the General election afterwards? Perhaps those exact same things that he lashes out at the Republican party for doing? It would seem that these tactics are abominable unless of course he is using them, appearently these tactics are fine and justified than. Next chapter is on VALUES hmmm that made me cringe a little as I started to read it what follows is a direct quote from the book it is rather interesting in some ways "I would often challenge neighborhood leaders by asking them where they put their time, energy, and money.Those are the true tests of what we value,I'd tell them,regardless of what we like to tell ourselves.If we aren't willing to pay a price for our values, if we aren't willing to make some sacrifices in order to realize them, then we should ask ourselves whether we truly believe in them at all.By these standards at least, it sometimes appears that Americans today value nothing so much as being rich,thin,young,famous,safe, and entertained. We say we value the legacy we leave the next generation and then saddle that generation with mountains of debt. We say we believe in equal opportunity but then stand idle while millions of American children languish in poverty. We insist that we value Family, but than structure our economy and organize our lives so as to ensure that our families get less and less of our time." I find that quote from page 83 a little tarnished by the fact that the mountain of debt he reffered to under his tutalage has gone from the Rocky Mountains to the friggin alps in comparrison, also I can deduce that he believes most people to be as vain as he himself is what with the thin famous and entertained crap which by the way he exemplifies those so called values quite well. As for sacrificing in order to realize them well he has sacrificed alright he has sacrificed the Middle Class Working people of the country so that they now languish in near poverty so that he could realize his values.Though there are many things worthy of commenting on in ensuing chapters to save some time and typing I will jump to chapter 7 perhaps the most controversial and convoluted chapter in the entire book, the chapter is titled "Race" after reading it I think he would have been more accurate to title this chapter "Racist" as after reading this particular chapter twice I realized just how much of a racist the man really is. It starts out speaking of attending the funeral of Rosa Parks which is fine she was at least to my thinking the woman who really started the movement that Martin Luther King took up for Civil Rights in this country, I think that she even more so than Dr. King led to the Civil Rights act of 1964 though that act was a step forward in many respects I do not think it accomplished as much as it should have and indeed needed to. At the 2004 Democratic Convention during his keynmote address he said "There is not a Black America and White America and Latino America and Asian America there is The United States of America he mentions this on page 273-274 and says people often bring that quote up to him when they meet him. He says to people this quote brings to mind for them an America finally freed from the past of Jim Crow and Slavery, Japenese internment camps, and Mexican braceros, work place tensions and Cultural conflict an America that fulfills Dr. King's promise that we be judged not by the color of our skin but by the content of our character. One the Jim Crow laws and Japanese internment camps were both enacted by the Democrats and Two I really do not think he will want people judging him by the content of his character after he leaves office. In all I think people should read chapter 7 of this book quite closely to understand the man who wrote it, amonst other things without actually coming right out and saying it he blames White People for the Black on Black crime in inner city neighborhoods, simply because according to him White people got scared and moved out of these neighborhoods so the Police than stopped patrolling them. He also alludes and says directly several times things involving Black churches as compared to White churhes, though I am no expert on religion that seems to be one area that is color blind. As a matter of fact I can recall from personal experience while in the Navy and in our Home Port of Charleston,S.C. I had to go to the ship on a sunday morning for Damage Control training and my annoying car decided that was a fine morning to not start, being a fairly long walk some 3 miles i stopped and sat on the steps of a Baptist Church to rest for a few minutes and was quite amazed at the sounds of revelry that came from within. While I was sitting a man I would guess he was around the same age as I was peeked out the door and saw me sitting and came down the steps to see if I was alright, I told him what was going on and said I would be fine just resting a moment and a little thirsty. He took me in with him to rest in the air conditioning and got me a glass of water and I sat and observed for a while and I would say that was the friendliest and most exuberant Church service I have ever seen, people of all races were there singing and praying and praising god above and the joy they exuded was startling and very catching if I wouldn't have had to be at the ship i would've stayed for the rest of the service. But enough rambling on at one point he says he is for "Banning all guns in the inner cities" and he also says that when a gang member opens fire into a crowd of people because he thinks that somebody in that crowd disrespected him that is not a crime problem it is a morality problem. Really some kid commiting a random act of violence for some perceived slight is not a crime it is a problem with morality? If he truly believes that than it would seem he has a problem with MORONITY because a crime is a crime regardless of the reasoning or perceived reasoning behind it. He also talks at length about several welfare programs and such created during the "NEW DEAL" era as being directly responsible for the current trends of more African Americans living in poverty than Whites. lets see though he praises the New Deal earlier in the book it is suddenly a bad thing? As for the New Deal programs being responsible for so many African Americans living in poverty I submit that this has far more to do with an exceedingly high unemployment rate amongst both African Americans and Latino's and that is a real shame because at one time in the not to distant past the unemployment rate amongst Whites was Higher than it was amongst African Americans or Latino's. A large portion of chapter 7 he spends blaming the White Man for all the worlds problems I am actually surprised he did not blame White people for the biblical plauges as well, oh also pay close attention to the chapter on faith and religion you will find some surprising and contradictory statements from that chapter than into chapter 7 as well.One of those things that comes directly to mind is the Sermon on the Mountain which he reviles in one chapter and yet in chapter 7 is far more willing to believe the sermon on the mount than some other obscure statement from a different book? It seems that even as a Senator he wanted the best of both worlds as long as it suited his personal needs, and even then demonstrated the ability to vilify something at one point and praise it later without even skipping a beat in the process. I have to be getting ready for work now but will make sure and check in later until my next post "Have a great day and a better tomorrow, and remember always that Chance Favors the Prepared Mind.
