Inaugural Thoughts

My thoughts on this Inauguration Day are real simple.

  1. For Black folks, there is now a new age of accountability!  The last thing I want to hear is how some white person kept you down.  
  2. For the young “brothas”, pull those pants up, turn that hat around and get a job or an education!
  3. For the national GOP, you better learn how to relate to minorities otherwise you will be the minority party for quite a while.
  4. For my Democratic friends, remember, the worst thing about getting drunk on power is the hangover the next day.
  5. For all those who came before me and did a lot of heavy lifting, thanks.
  6. For Obama, don’t screw this up.  I’d like to have your job someday.
Happy Inauguration Day!  Enjoy history.

    And can we also tell these same brothas to stop having a baby momma and start having wife?

    There is no way the Republican party can relate to a vast majority of minorities. While you are correct in saying we need more accountability, most of the poor minorities don’t want anything to do with that. If Republicans start offering more welfare, more gun control, etc.., they will totally lose their more individual freedom leaning conservative base.

    Great Posting.
    A great deal of the difference in how people thing and react is their philosophy as to being conservative or liberal (economics, life style, etc). In reality, either position can bring useful and workable points to the table and a balance to activities. Being one or the other will hopefully not be veiwed as a racial or social class thing. Respect for another’s veiwpoint will go a long way in getting rid of much of noise made by some.

    I’m with you on the first 5 points Abdul but no way on number 6. You would get a few martinis in you and would be taking over Liechtenstein or something.

    Seriously I have a plan that addresses the major issues but is way too long to go into here but if BHO would follow would make the right and left happy (except maybe for Ted Kennedy and the NEA) and would almost guarantee an approval rating of 75% until the next election. I’m sure I’ll get bombarded with responses asking for a copy.

    Wonderful insight Abdul.

    Thanks for carrying the message that today is a new day and the old games of racial shake downs don’t apply.

    Today is the day we reach Dr Kings dream that his children will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

    7. Conservatives and Libertarians: it’s going to be a long four years . . .

    Now is the time for national health care, and as a result the beginning to the end of this country.

  • Rico

    Sorry, Nick, but Obama has been judged solely on the color of his skin. If character mattered, he wouldn’t be our president. We are the comoany we keep, and President Barry has hung with anti-American scumbags his entire adult life. And I’m certain the Reverend King wouldn’t support a pro-infanticide president regardless of the man or woman’s pigment.

    2. You really think the brotha’s with the low riding pants and caps even bothered to vote or even care who is in office?
    3. You’ve said this before. How exactly are they to do this? No need to go into details. A high-level summary should suffice.

  • Tom

    I can’t help but think that Rev. King like most sensible people would think that any person has the ultimate right over what is done to thier own body, Rico. You would have some government official arresting a pregnant woman for deciding that for herself? You’d probably relish the job.

    Let us come together finally and heal our neighborhoods and our broken society. Amen bros.

    A couple of points here. One I thought we were taught these last few years not to see black and white but all people are Americans. From what I have seen these last six months it seems that you should just see black. We elected a man to the office of President but it now seems to be more important to most people that this person is black. When asked if I seen history yesterday, I respond that yes we elected another man as President leaving his race out of the picture. I get blank looks. Second, if the Republicans do as you suggest and start with the issues of race in this country, they will lose their base of middle income members. But I have not seen any conservative top republicans for years now. The Republican Party would be better off to return to what most of us conservative believe in. God, County and family, (one man, one woman family) not race, welfare and what am I going to get from this candidate or who I am going to offend.

  • Rico

    Barack supported allowing a baby to die outside his mother’s womb if that baby survived an abortion. You are dead wrong about Rev.King. He was a man of God. We have just elected a Godless man. The two have virtually nothing in common.

    Word is that the Republicans are now courting the Paulites, who they dismissed last year and the year before.
    .
    And some of the rappers are coming down hard on the Jesse Jackson’s of the world that are still spewing racism, when it is they who are now the racists.

    If Number 6 does come true, can I have an appointment as Secretary of State? Somebody is going to have to keep you out of trouble.

    Being drunk with power didn’t seem to hurt W. & Cheney, they did get re-elected. Seeing as how they both don’t think they made any big mistakes, they don’t appear to have suffered any hang-over. Personally, I hope they do get a little tipsy. We could use a war-crimes tribunal or at the very least a truth & reconciliation commission.
    As for #6: you’re drunk, not on power, just drunk. Let’s keep it that way.
