Am I a Racist?  Are you?

7/18/2019

0 Comments

 
Drinking my morning coffee earlier today, I surfed social media, specifically Facebook.  A friend had posted again since last night (we had debated amidst some of his friends things like our President, the junior women in Congress, things they've all said, etc.).  Showing no self-restraint, I dove into this morning's post and stated my views.  Quickly more of my friend's friends (whom I've never met) began their rebuttals to my statements.....It's been pointed out that I am a racist, that I am not a Christian, that I am close-minded, that I am spoon-fed on Fox News (little do they know, I rarely glance at Fox), that I do not care about brown-skinned children in detention centers needing water, and so on.  You get the idea.
It amazes me, that people who do not know me, decide they know every facet of my being simply by my having made a few comments.  I thought about pointing out that it was like the pot calling the kettle black, but not sure they would have grasped that old analogy, but that makes me judgemental of their intellect and recall, doesn't it?
When, oh when, will our society members, our citizens grasp that until we stop being offended by every word someone else utters, until we just hand over a glass of water, until we volunteer for our local organizations, until we stop passing judgement and expecting others to do our bidding, we aren't going to accomplish squat for humanity, let alone the planet?
I would hope my family and friends know me better than these strangers think they do.  To read their comments, they must know every detail about every human who disagrees with them.  I have a cousin of Mexican descent, I consider her family my family too.  I have a grandson-in-law who is 1/4 Mexican, 1/4 Black, 1/4 American Indian, and 1/4 Irish; he and our granddaughter (who some would lamely label Caucasian, ignoring her mix of various European ethnicities) have a beautiful family, that started out with a couple of his from a prior relationship and theirs together, and now they are all one beautiful family.  Couldn't love them more.  And, you know what, I don't think about all our varying skin tones until someone on the internet points out to me that I am a racist. 
I can tell you, with certainty, that I am put-off when a 'white' person acts like a cracker, a redneck (yep, sometimes I'm a red neck), a honky, a wop, a dumb dutchman; when a black person acts like a nigger, when a Korean acts like a gook, when a Polish person acts like a polack, and so on.  We all have moments when we act like idiots, folks, and oh, it reflects on our ethnic background, our skin tone, our religious convictions, our political party, our gender. 
There are nasty slang names for all of us when we're behaving poorly, greedy, lazy, judgemental, and essentially like less than the people God called us to be.  Names have been called for centuries.  Do I call other people those names?  Rarely, and, if I do, it's  just the 'white' ones I actually label!  I am far more likely to berate myself and others of my likeness than those who are 'different from me' in their coloring, gender, or beliefs! 
I poke fun at myself all the time for being ungraceful and I talk with my hands.  Does that mean I'm making fun of someone with a disability?  Some would lead you to believe that.  I have a dear friend with a form of dwarfism -- guess what?  She has some of the best dwarf related jokes going?  Does she stand up for her rights?  Absolutely!  Do I back her up?  I certainly try! 
It seems to me that there are some people out there in our society, a different version of one-percenters (not the financially wealthy ones we hear about in the media), who want to fan the fire of divide, yet who want to put themselves above all others.  Well, I'm tired of it.  In the slang words of some tough guys, "Grow a Set!" 
Quit looking for things to offend you. Quit espousing everything others do wrong.  Start lending a hand. Start volunteering.  Start saying nice things you observe instead of consistently tearing down others.  Quit looking for the bad people do and mistakes people make.  You are human and make mistakes too, we all do.
There is an old saying that says we reap what we sow.  It's time we start sowing good instead of bad.  It's time we plant a garden of teamwork, of giving, of solving, of working.  It's time to stop all the talking and gossiping and finger-pointing.  Can you picture us all in Kindergarten again?  None of us would receive Satisfactory marks for working well and playing well with others.  None of us.
I dare say, if Christ Himself were to run for (and be elected) President of our country, He wouldn't be good enough for this other group of one-percenters.  He is the only perfect person to have every walked the planet and yet I read these folks espousing what He would say and do.  Without Him in the conversation / debate, None of us have the right to speak for Him.  He is the Son of God and God is a just God. 
Justice, by the way, is giving to each that which is his own.  It is not giving that which belongs to someone else.  Learned that in a fine philosophy class decades ago at university from an old nun who had her doctorate in philosophy.  Brilliant woman, fully tenured professor at a private university -- guess what?  Never heard her griping away about the poor unequal treatment of women.  She walked her own walk, did well, and taught us to do well.
In all honesty, I don't care what color your skin is.  I care what mine is when I get sunburned because that hurts!  I care that as a 'white' person, I'm not given a choice of my varied ethnicities on questionnaires, I'm lumped in with a group called white/caucasian and there's so much more to my background than one lump. That has bothered me since college application days.  Even my natural brindle hair-color doesn't fit a single choice on license applications.  My mother's neutral eyes that changed color with attire and mood never fit on a standard eye-color choice.  I don't care what color you are; I'm glad you have color -- without color the world would be a lot more bland!  Am I victim of white oppression?  Who knows?!?!  I was accused last night on social media of my claiming white oppression.  Oh brother!  I'm white and sometimes I get judged just for being white.  But, you know what?  That's ok.  Judge if you will, that is your choice to judge based on what I just said and on my skin color.  I'm not going to judge you because of your color.
I may question statements you make against our country, someone else's religion or sexual preference, but it will be your actions, your statements, not your personal being.  If you espouse tearing apart my country, if you espouse killing people who don't believe as you do, I'm going to judge that you are breaking a law and unsafe to the general public and will notify the proper legal authorities.  I'm not just going to decide I am judge and jury and dole out justice.  That's the great thing about our legal system here when it works right, when people are actually law-abiding. 
I don't care whether you're male or female (science says there are two genders folks, leave it at that); just do your best at your daily goals, your job, with your family and that's all we can ask.
I don't care what your religion is, but don't be holier than thou over mine, don't shove yours down my throat.  Respect the foundation of our country as a constitutional republic on Judeo-Christian principles.  If that isn't your cup of tea, then there are almost 200 other countries to choose from.  (If you're fond of Sharia law, then I suggest residence in a country where it forms the basis of the law.  We have a something else here, so when in Rome, do as the Romans do and suck it up, Buttercup.)
Sure, we all have the right to free speech in this country of mine, but that doesn't give us the right to force someone else not to share their thoughts, nor does it give us the right to break the laws of this country (from treason to traffic lights). 
If you want to judge, then talk to God about it.  Go to law school.  But don't take your personal flaws and try to impose them on me in a case of reverse guilt.  Fix yourself.  I'm working on me.  If we all worked on ourselves more, I'm betting we could take much better care of our fellow man and our planet. 
We must study history and learn from it.  We must not pretend historical facts didn't occur and try to 'white wash' them.  Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.....Gee, who said that before me?!?
Have I said some offensive things in this post?  Most likely.  Is it my goal to offend?  Not one bit.  Will someone find a way to be offended by my using words we all know in a factual statement?  Probably. 
So, drink that morning coffee, laugh at these one-percenters who seemingly strive to make the rest of us appear evil, bigoted, racist, prejudiced, anti-woman, anti-everything, and live your life to the fullest, love all God's children as He commanded, striving to be a better human everyday, allowing for justice, respecting God's and man's laws (yeah, that's in the Bible too).  I may not like what you do or say, but I can still love you.  I can pray for you; that's part of my First Amendment Right of Free Speech too. 
Cheers.

Donald Trump

Donald Trump.

For some his name evokes shudders of disdain. They are afraid of this man, a man who is not a career politician, a man who cannot be bought, a man who will not play the 'old boy's club' of games. They are afraid he will bring back Capitalism, destroying their long-term vision of Progressivism moving into Socialism into Dictatorship. They are afraid that decades of planning will fall apart if this man who believes in freedom is elected President of the United States.

For others, their eyes light up at the mere mention of his last name. If their ears could perk up like a puppy dog's ears, they would do that too. These folks have been longing for someone to save their dying country, a beloved country for which men and women fought, bled, and died. A country wherein people are guaranteed the right to worship as they please, are guaranteed the right to bear arms without restriction, are guaranteed the right to vote and marry regardless of race or religion. They love this country with every breath they take. They love the people in this country. They support those who fight for America and democracy at home and abroad. They believe in strong care for our veterans, senior citizens, and disabled. These people believe in the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Donald Trump understands the burning desire of the second group described above. Together with these people, he understands that we are granted the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Note, we are not guaranteed happiness, but rather the pursuit thereof. Donald Trump may have many many more dollars than both the people who follow and who disrespect him, but he has something massively in common with his supporters: he has WORKED to be where he is – he has worked for his fame and fortune. Surely each and every one of us has made mistakes in our lives, be they financial, relationship, or material. Guess what? So has Mr. Trump – and he has learned from those mistakes and kept moving forward, one foot in front of the other.

Mr. Trump believes in the American people, the American worker, the American family (and I'm not going to play semantics here – the American family has morphed many times over the years), American patriotism, the American military & veterans, and the future for all American children. One merely needs to listen to him in person (not a chopped up clip on the news or internet), his entire sentences, discussions, and speeches over the years to know his core person and his love for this country have not wavered. His views have not shifted in dramatic ways. He has held steady to his beliefs.

If you have the internet, I encourage you to visit Mr. Trump's website and read his actual positions on topics such as childcare, education, foreign policy, tax plan, veterans affairs reform, the economy, and more. You can find them at this link https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies/ . Listen in earnest with an open mind to Mr. Trump's ideas, please don't listen to falsehoods promoted by those who are afraid to embrace the challenge of pursuing happiness. I have heard him speak in person and witnessed the media change his words from what I heard to some other meaning.

Now, I would 'love' to share history of the other candidate for President of the United States; however, at this time, you know in your heart the truth about the other candidate. My goal is simple: share the truth with you about the candidate Donald J. Trump. He has the ability to reach within himself and within our country and Make America Great Again.

I am an educated woman and I am voting for Donald Trump for President of the United States of America. I hope you will too.

Racism

7/29/2014

 Definition of RACISM  per Merriam-Webster Dictionary online
 1 : a belief that race
is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and
that racial differences produce an inherent  superiority of a particular race 
2 : racial prejudice
or discrimination
Racism.  Is it subjective or relative?  How do you define it?  What makes a definition correct and something that everyone can agree upon?  Do you agree with the above-cited definitions regarding racism?
I have been accused lately of being racist.  Am I? 
I was told my recent posts on Facebook demonstrate my racism and show that it is coming out. 
What do you think?  Please, visit my Facebook page, Kind Readers, and let me know if you think I am a racist?  Here is the link:
 
Rita Preston's Views 
I'm wondering if the accuser meant that I was racially prejudiced instead of racist.  I do not believe one race is superior to another anymore than I believe that men are smarter than women, that blondes are dumber than folks with other hair colors, that brown-eyed folks are warmer than green-eyed folks, that college degrees make someone smarter than someone who has only a high school diploma, that little green men typify life on Mars, that if the sky is blue today it can never be grey with thunder clouds, that 2+2=5, or that the United States of America exists in the southern hemisphere on planet Earth.
I don't care what your eye color is;  I don't care what your skin color is;  I don't care what your education is.
I want a human being to act like a practical human being with common sense.  I want that same human being to be capable of doing the job for which he/she has been hired.  If that person is incapable and it was not discovered prior to hiring, then find a replacement and steer the unqualified person to the right position for him/her. 
If preachers (here I refer to men and women of the cloth, those who preach a religion, etc.) want to preach the love of God and unity of mankind then they need to do that and live that.  Lately there are some prominent ministers spreading division in our country based on the color of the skin of someone who has committed acts such as manslaughter and murder.  It seems they make a gigantic public spectacle if a black person (for lack of a term which will suit every reader out there) has been harmed by someone of another ethnicity.  In the same venue, these preachers fall quiet when a black person (again, my apologies, I am not labeling; I am pointing out the pictures shown in the media) commits similar crimes against persons of non-black ethnic backgrounds. 
I have been sharing this distinction and have been called to account for it as though I am being racist and promoting division.  I was further taken to account for having mentioned our illustrious POUSA as falling into the same category as a couple of those famous preachers.  True, he is not a minister of the Christian faith, to my knowledge (nor of any other religion of which I've been told); however, he is a leader of many people by having been elected POUSA.  By holding that rank, one must hold one's self up rather than further divide people -- was he not originally elected for hope and change........to bring unity?  I see more division in this country today than prior to his election.  Why is that? 
I know, I (a small country community numbers person with a passion for God, Country, Family, and many other things, including writing) do not wish for division, nor do I wish for utopia.  I wish for common sense, equal rights, equal application of the laws, and equal representation in our media.  All of these items are lacking greatly these days. 
Journalism and news reporting should follow their natural course.  If one wishes to editorialize, start your own editorial column or blog.   Editorializing, spouting one's own opinion, spewing forth drama from various political camps as diversions to actual news are bordering on fraudulent journalism.
My blog clearly states that these are my thoughts, my opinions, and my views.  I do my best to write on topics of current importance, based on news articles I have read, or little snippets of fodder I see along the internet.  Usually, not always.  Some of them make for great debate, some for serious argument, and some, I hope, for serious contemplation.
To be called racist when I describe someone based on his/her skin tone or any other physical feature and in the same conversation wherein I demand equal justice, equal representation, equal time or any other frame of equality is simply ironic.  If we are going to attempt to be that "politically correct" in this country, we have already lost our individuality along with our equality.   (I shall save the discussion of how inhumane and politically incorrect political correctness actually is for another day.)

If you want equality, it has to be equality across the board, you can't pick and choose when to be equal and when not to be equal.  When you dictate your equality, you border on some being more equal than others and that my friends rings reminiscent of communism and/or socialism.  Either we are equal or we are not.  Our Constitution says we are equal.  Don't call me names or label me when I am pointing out inequalities. 
I am not racist because I do not like someone who plays at being in charge and can't see his ideas to fruition because he cannot 'work and play well with others.'  If he cannot fulfill the duties of the job, he shouldn't have the job.  If one cannot glean the cooperation of others, there is usually a reason.  Sadly, some may not like the color of his skin, some may not like the look in his eyes, or the way he wears his neckties, but for any POUSA, he needs to be able to work and play well with others if he wants his plans and dreams for his country to be put into a good course of action. 

At the present time, I do not work in any job position or volunteer position which puts me into a work relationship with the POUSA so I am not affecting his ability to do his job in the slightest.  I have been labeled a racist because I don't care for him and the way he's been doing his job.  As I have stated previously, I don't care if he's purple as long as he can do the job.
Am I prejudiced?  Nope.  If you are straight up with me as a human being, I will be straight up with you.  If you are human and pretend to be a sheep, now we might have a problem.  If you are a sheep and pretend to be human, again, we might have a problem (most likely in communication).  Be who you are, give a damn about my country if you're going to lead it.  If you're going to lead my country, then lead, don't play back door games, stand up and be accountable when things go wrong below you.  A company is only as good as its leadership; same for the country.  If you cannot step up to the plate when it counts (e.g. an embassy under attack and Americans killed on your watch), then you should not have taken the job. 
No one leaves the Oval Office a younger person; every single one of them has shown much aging by the time he has left office.  It is no easy job if given half the time it deserves and requires. 
Am I prejudiced against our currently seated president?  In one way:  he is not doing well at the job; he is hindering and hurting our economy and morale in my opinion.  No, I'm not citing statistics here, I am basing this opinion on the everyday life I see in America:  families and individuals struggling to make ends meet, to hold on to their homes if they haven't lost them already, businesses cutting corners to stay afloat, automobile prices that equal the prices of small houses (auto manufacturers should be ashamed of their pricing; after all,  they got bailout money so they can stay afloat), rising costs of living that are climbing faster and faster while wages are stagnant, a sequester in place but lavish parties still thrown at the White House, a president who takes his vacations even though there is a sequester, a congress and senate that don't give up summer recess to set a good example and families who have not been able to afford vacations in many years, even a government shutdown because the powers-that-be don't work and play well together. 
Am I prejudiced against our congressmen and senators?  In one way:  they aren't doing their jobs well either.  (See paragraph immediately prior to this one.)
Am I racist?  NO!!
Am I prejudiced?  Maybe.  What am I prejudiced against?  Leaders of government, pastors/ministers/religious leaders who fall far short of their calling and fail the people they've chosen to lead, some even acting racist against the people they were elected to lead. 
Interesting article poking fun at liberals by conservatives:  http://youngcons.com/the-7-things-liberals-actually-mean-when-they-call-somebody-racist/  Is it poking fun or does it lend credibility to how many in our country are behaving?
Are YOU racist?  Are YOU prejudiced?  If so, in what way or ways?

Government Shutdown

10/5/2013

0 Comments

 
Yep, they did it folks.   The House, the Senate, The President.  They shutdown sections of the federal government. 
I've been watching the mainstream media, from CNN to FOX.  I've been watching Facebook comments and links.  I've been reading and listening. 
Anger, frustration, worry, fear, and a lot of finger-pointing.
So, who is to blame?  Here is my take on who is to blame and how much fault do they actually carry?
The President,  you bet!  He's the top dog and in any business, the buck stops at the top (or should).  He gave the actual order to shut it down.
The Senate, of course!  It is controlled by the Democratic Party, which seems hell-bent on being against anything the Republican Party proposes.
The House, absolutely!  It is controlled by the Republican Party, which seems hell-bent on being against anything the Democratic Party proposes.
The American people?  Beyond a shadow of a doubt!!  WE, the American People, are to blame for this shutdown.  We, by whichever statistical margin you wish to cite, voted these people into office.  WE BLEW IT.  And, in our society today, we don't want anyone to point that out.  We want to blame someone else for every problem and ailment that comes down the pike.  It isn't our fault, our actions are a results of someone provoking us, hurting us, etc.....EXCEPT....................  Except what???  That is wrong.  We are accountable for our actions and how we react to those around us.  WE ARE.  Not others.
We voted those disagreeable, arguing, belligerent, stuck-in-their-party-rut, uncompromising, salary-guaranteed, buffoons into office.  We believed every word when we voted. 
Maybe some of us just believed a good set of lies disguised as pretty promises, wrapped up for us to infer that they were actually working for our healthy well-being, our ability to provide for ourselves, our ability to get others to provide for us.  Did you just catch that? 
Are we wanting to provide for ourselves or wanting everyone else to take care of us?  Did that impact your voting?  Who would give you the most??
And now, some are screaming for pity because those who get the entitlements (which, are misnamed, since they are not earned at all, they are, in fact, handouts), may not be receiving them with the government shutdown.  But,

  • WHO voted for people who would just keep handing out? 
  • Who voted for those who would create jobs so we could feed ourselves?
  • Who voted for a healthcare plan which had not even been read and studied before it was approved?
  • Who voted to fund those who lay around in families for generations collecting government checks (i.e., taxpayer money) and food stamps, etc.?
  • Who voted for abortion (i.e. the killing of unborn children)?  Who argues when unborn children are murdered by the murdering of their pregnant mothers -- and the file charges against a killer who killed an unborn baby?
  • Who vetoed an immense project known as the Keystone Pipeline which would have created jobs and used our own natural resources instead of paying for exorbitant foreign oil?
  • Who voted to keep the minimum wage stagnant?
  • Who voted for our 'leaders?'
WE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, DID.  If you voted for the leaders, you voted for all these things.  You and I caused this mess and we are starting to pay dearly for it.  We can't blame Canada.  We can't blame the European Union or China or Mexico.  WE VOTED for these buffoons who, by law, continue to collect their paychecks while our government is shut down.  (Granted, some are refusing their checks and some are donating checks during the shutdown to charity, but overall, they will receive their checks and pay tax on them no matter what they do with them, because, by law, they get paid.)
WE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, SHUT DOWN OUR GOVERNMENT.  WE VOTED THESE SO-CALLED LEADERS INTO OFFICE - consisting of Democrats, Republicans, and a few others.  WE DID THIS. 
Quit finger-pointing.  Accept responsibility and encourage your representatives, your senators, and your president to start listening. 
Don't let skewed surveys, polls, and statistics, along with media-slanted PR pushed ideas taint your intelligent ability to discern what is right, what is wrong, and who has to be impeached, voted out, and recalled.  In fact, while you're at it, let the media know we want factual reporting without bias and the personal slants of the reporters.  We want stories that stick to the facts and only the facts.   
Quit allowing yourselves to be entertained by the press.  Their job is to report facts, not entertain.
Our job is to use the brains God gave us.  We quit using them a long long time ago and it's time to quit babying ourselves and grow-up. 
We caused this mess.  We can stop it.  It will not happen overnight.  Have you ever watched a house that has been subject to a natural disaster?  Repairs do not happen overnight and sometimes the building has to be brought down to its bare foundation with new strong timbers placed. 
  • We need to go back to our constitution and read it daily and start to live what we say we believe in.  Here is the full transcript:  http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_transcript.html  .
  • Pledge Allegiance to Your Flag, not your leaders.    ""I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."  Read the history of our Pledge through the years at this link:  http://www.ushistory.org/documents/pledge.htm  .
  • Remind yourself daily of the words coming from our Declaration of Independence:  "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"  You may read the full text here:  http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration_transcript.html  .
To quote Woody Guthrie's song, "This land is your land, this land is my land."  WE, who come from so many different ethnic backgrounds, need to work for our fellow man as well as ourselves. 
Our constitution guarantees each of us life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  It does not promise us utopia; it allows each individual to pursue whatever his or happiness goal is.  It allows us our lives and our liberty.  That is tantamount to granting us the ability to work and provide for ourselves, it does not say giving it all to those who don't want to work.  It seems today that some (many) in our society find their pursuit of happiness to be pushing for laws so that those who do work will provide for those who do not.  I do not believe that is what our hard-working founders had in mind; they did not create a welfare state.  They created the best governing system the world has ever seen.  Today we are on the verge of destroying even the principles upon which this system was founded.
If you love where you live, if you love your country, if you love yourself, this is going to take a lot of hard work by ALL of us.  WE CAN FIX OUR COUNTRY.

Words we dare not say, even today!

This article was referred to me by a good friend with a hint to write a blog entry about it.  My friend knows me well.  I cannot keep my mouth shut about some things!
Here is the link to the article:  http://www.forbes.com/sites/annedoyle/2012/06/17/warning-to-womendont-say-vagina-in-the-michigan-house-and-dont-sit-at-men-only-table-in-philadelphias-union-league/ 

Take your time and read it through! 

We have entered the 21st Century here in the good ole USA and still aren't supposed to say the word "vagina?"  REALLY?  Can you imagine, Michigan Rep Lisa Brown (D) in her own state's legislature was censored and not allowed to speak after using the word VAGINA?? 

FREE SPEECH!!  Hmmmm.  Where did that concept disappear to in Michigan?  And that's not the only place such censorship is taking place in this country.

Can you imagine if doctors would be forbidden to use the V-word?  A vagina is a legitimate part of the female body, just like a breast, a foot, an eye, a toe, an elbow an so on.  It's not a "dirty word."  It is a part of the human body, just like a penis is a part of the male body.  Seemingly it is OK to advertise products to help cure ails for each body part, but we should not use their names.  We can legislate what goes on with the body parts, but not use their names.  

We profess to be a modern progressive country, yet we seem to be overly puritanical when it comes to our language and our bodies (we older than the teenage crowd that is).  I remember when my mum had breast cancer when I was about 2-years old and it seemed like we shouldn't use the "B" word around other people.  Thank goodness my mum had common sense and didn't act like it was a dirty secret at home.  Thank goodness my dad was a wise man, not enamored with bodily perfection, and treated Mom no differently than before her surgery.  Mom was able to talk to other women who suffered from breast cancer through the years, providing insight and inspiration, speaking with decorum, sensitivity, wisdom, and experience.   Graphic descriptions weren't necessary, but facing the reality was. 

For me to read that the word "vagina" is taboo in ANY legislative body in this country is simply horrifying.  A vagina is a body part, that's it.  We walk on our feet (now that is abuse), we excrete some of the most vile waste product on the planet out of our anuses (proper plural is ani, but most use anuses in modern times),  we process vision with our eyes, and women give birth through our vaginas. 

I fail to see why some are embarrassed by the use of the word vagina.  It is a word, just like thunder, earthquake, giraffe, man, woman, child, equator, planet, etc.  And..........I can tell you, NO ONE shall tell me I am not permitted to use a word in my native language!

I shall maintain my right to free speech and I applaud Michigan Representative Lisa Brown for exercising her right to free speech and standing up for her rights and those whom she serves. 

NEVER "dumb-down" yourself to please those who fear the literate, who fear those who would intimidate the masses from having knowledge, or those who would silence the human and the American spirits.
