I am amazed at the number of Black ministers advising their followers and parishioners to not cast a vote for the president.  It amazes me because these ministers are willing to have the things that would be helpful to the most needy in their communities sold down the toilet (my nicest description) because the president has chosen to advocate for every single individual (regardless of their color, race, or sexual orientation) who resides in these United States of America.  I just came across a video with 1 minister even using the “N” word while spewing his venom.   I consider myself a Christian with Christian beliefs and cannot fathom advocating against anyone who believes different than myself simply because they express what they feel is the right thing to do.  The president has been accused of dividing the country.  Yet, when he does or says anything geared toward bringing all peoples together there is still so much being done and said to under mind it.  Why is this?  Are you basing your decision on what is in the Bible - the most accepted Word of God - concerning abortion? I think God has His opinion of how He views abortion. Does He give us His point of view in the Bible? If your answer to that question is 'Yes', please tell me where in the Bible that is stated. I have searched for that answer but I can find it nowhere - NOT A SINGLE PASSAGE.  If you say that it is murder of an unborn fetus then that should be a decision between the woman making that decision and her conscience since she will have to live with that particular deed. If you say it is because of the gay rights - same sex marriage issue. If you ever found yourself in a gay relationship would you want to be treated different than I am in a heterosexual relationship? I think not. What if your son or daughter were in either of those positions? Would you want them condemned by the public as some sort of criminal? I think not.  I would hope that you would not disparage my child simply because of whom they chose to partner with.  Our Lord and Savior will reckon with each and every one of us based upon the deeds that we perform or accomplish here on earth. I recognize that you, as a minister, have your personal beliefs and your job is to teach the right and wrong.  But, please STOPPPP this anti-Obama campaign.  The president is getting enough of that from those who desire to have the poor and less fortunate remain poor and less fortunate.  I have no problem with your letting your congregations know how you feel about these things but this ranting and spewing hatred from your pulpits is not something that God wants you to do in his name.  JUST MY OPINION!!!  There is enough racial hatred, homophobia, religious devisieness, etc., in the world as it is.  Those on the right throw enough racist stuff at the president.  Some questions for you…Would you feel better if there was a man in the White House who took this country back to where we were before the 1960s?  Some of you even espouse that Mitt Romney would be a better president.  Why?  Because he is a rich White man who will only make the rich richer and keep the poor poorer?  Can you tell me what Mitt Romney's vision for the country is?  I think not.  He has flipped from being against Roe v. Wade to being for it.  does he believe in equal pay for equal work?  He would have kept our military fighting in Iraq untill...  He will keep our military fighting in Afghanistan untill....  He will cut entitlement programs but can't say which ones - just asks the country to trust him.  Mitt Romney could not have done a better job in turning this country around than the president has.  He says he created jobs.  Sure he did - a handful of them to replace workers whose jobs had been outsourced.  As governor he worked across the aisle.  Yes he did - because he had no choice, the legistatures were mostly of the other party and even then he flipped and flopped.  He left the State in worse condition than he found it.  He took over companies and sent them into bankruptcy outsourcing the jobs.  So, now tell me the positive things about Mitt Romney becoming president.  The man reminds me of a used car salesman who say anything necessary to make the sale.  Barack H. Obama was elected president for all Americans regardless of whom they choose to worship or love, race, creed, or religion.  In the aftermath of the recent devistating storm, Sandy, he did what a leader is supposed to do.  Yet, there are those of all races who critize that.  Can this man ever do anything to please you? 

A simple message for all people who plan to vote against President Obama simply because he said that the government (specifically Congress) should not have authority over a woman's body (paraphrased) and same sex marriages should be recognized.  The president gave his personal views.  I'd like to pose a question to you.   Are you basing your decision on what is in the Bible - the most accepted Word of God - concerning abortion?  I think God has His opinion of how He views abortion.  Does He give us His point of view in the Bible?  If your answer to that question is 'Yes', please tell me where in the Bible that is stated.  I have searched for that answer but I can find it nowhere - NOT A SINGLE PASSAGE.  I am certain that God does have an opinion but I am equally certain that He will reckon with those who have abortions on case by case bases.  Personally, I could never see myself having an abortion but I would not impose my feelings in that regard upon another woman.  But more than that I cannot see that it should be the federal or state government who decides what I, and you, choose to do with our bodies.  If you say that it is murder of an unborn fetus then that also should be between the woman making that decision and her conscience since she will have to live that particular deed.  If you say it is because of the gay rights - same sex marriage issue.  If you ever found yourself in a gay relationship would you want to be treated different than I am in a heterosexual relationship?  I think not.  What if your son or daughter were in either of those positions?  Would you want them condemned by the public as some sort of criminal?  I think not.  Granted, I am not involved in a gay relationship and could never see myself in one but I would not dare tell my child or even my neighbor that they should be criminalized because they chose to have a same-sex partner, married or otherwise.  And I would hope that you would not disparage my child simply because of whom they chose to partner with.  Is it because you believe what you have heard about the Affordable Care Act -ObamaCare?  The things that are covered under ObamaCare are beneficial to me and my Medicare, your parents who need Medicare, your child or some other child you know with a medical condition whose health care's expenses may exceed what your insurance allows for and will then be a heavy burden on your ability to otherwise provide for that child, your pre-existing condition and can't get insurance to cover, the assistance you, or someone you know who has lost their job because of deep recession we are now recovering from, etc.  ObamaCare protects Medicare and it is beneficial in other ways as well.  Is it because you have not been able to gain employment?  Well, under a Romney-Ryan White House you will not have it any better.  As we venture on through this slow recovery of the economy things are getting better.  President Obama has a lot more work to do to get this country back in shape but he is getting us there.  Now, for my Black brothers and sisters.  Are you dismayed that not enough has been done for you, personally?  Well, I wish Barack Obama could have made me a millionaire.  But that fact is not reality.  Mr. Obama was elected to be the President of the United States - all races, people, and things.  He was not elected to be the president of Black America, solely.  As I see it, Barack H. Obama has been working for things beneficial for you, me, and every other person who considers themselves a citizen of these United States of America.  So, please find yourself at your precinct casting your vote on Tuesday, November 6, 2012. Vote like your life depends on it.  Vote because you have a right to and you will never let anyone or anything takes that right away from you.  But by God Almighty do get to that precinct and cast that vote.  Vote for Barack Obama.  Vote for Mitt Romney if you believe his flipping and flopping on important issues will get you what you need.  But I assure you that if you choose the Romney-Ryan platform, you, and I, will find ourselves back in the same conditions we are recovering from.   Vote for one of the other candidates on the ticket if you desire to.  But know that when you cast your vote for that alternative candidate, it takes away from the candidate who actually will win the election.  It would be nice if God, Himself, were 1 of the options that you have.  But since God is not a candidate, why not vote for the candidate who has the interest of all Americans on his mind - not just the super richest of our citizens.

Axe FEMA, Romney Says - as Hurricane Sandy Looms

Axe FEMA, Romney Says - as Hurricane Sandy Looms

What makes John Henry Sununu think he is any more American than Barack H. Obama?  Obama was born in the United States of America and that gives him the right to hold the highest office in this country.  Sununu was born in Cuba and can never hold that office.  Could the reason for his constantly insisting that Obama is un-American be fueled by a certain amount of jealousy for Obama?  Could it be that he, Sununu, has had all the privileges afforded to White America and yet Obama, a Black man, has attained the highest position of President and in so doing Obama has overstepped his place in society?  Is it because of this jealousy that Sununu needs to delegitimize Obama as an American citizen to make himself feel good?  Is being the former Governor of the whitest state in the union of states what makes him think in such bigoted terms that he had this to say about a much respected four star general who has served this country in many capacities “Well, I think when you have somebody of your own race that you’re proud of being president of the United States, I applaud Colin for standing with him.”  That is what he, Sununu, had to say about General Colin Powell’s endorsement of President Obama.  If that his thinking, I would like to know why such idiots as Sununu and Donald Trump have endorsed Mitt Romney.  Did they endorse Romney because he is someone of their own race and not because he has any intelligence to hold the office of the presidency?   http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/13272351-john-sununu-is-not-a-natural-born-american

The Mittology of Romnesia

The sale of Snake Oil by a Used Car Salesman

Governor Romney wants us to believe in his goals for a presidency under him but he changes or contradicts what he says consistently.  What he says today contradicts what he said yesterday.  So why would I vote for him?   Listening to him reminds of the time I bought my first car.  The car the man was trying to sell me was an outright lemon but thinking that I knew nothing about cars the man said what he needed to say to close the deal.  The point is this.  I could only afford to pay so much for the car but I wanted to buy a car that was at least reliable and would not break down as soon as I drove off the car lot.  The man gave me several options of cars but kept pitching the sale of one particular car.  In examining the car I found it to start when I turn on the ignition; did no leak oil; stopped when the brakes were applied; did not smoke from old oil; and, the radio worked although there was a rattle in the speaker.  So, I bought that car because he offered me no real guarantee on the other cars.  He guaranteed me that I could bring the car back if I had any problems with it.  Two weeks later the car stopped in the middle of the highway.  I called the salesman and told him the car had broken down and where I was.  He said to bring the car back and he would fix it.   The problem with that?  I was 50 miles away from the city and would have to have the car towed in at my expense.  Alas, I managed to get the car towed back to his lot and his mechanic checked the problem.  The thing that was causing the problem was not something he felt was covered under his guarantee.  I paid for the repairs and drove away.  Within another month I had the car back in there no less than five times.  For the next months that I owned the car I had constant problems with it.  Mitt Romney’s constant flipping what he said in the past and saying that President Obama is lying when he says that he said something reminds me of just what happened with that car.  He says what he needs to say to the audience he is appearing before.  He felt that making the analogy to his family’s owning slaves was what he needed to say to the people he was speaking with in Prattville, Alabama.  When he disced 47% of the citizens as people who took no responsibility for their lives in Boca Raton, Florida, it was what he needed to say at that time.   Throughout the six or so years that he has been running for the presidency he has held an extreme conservatism view, i.e., get rid of  Obama care, have Roe v Wade overturned, get rid of Planned Parenthood, lower taxes for the wealthy, not pull the troops from Iraq as the president did, keep troops in Afghanistan, etc.  He has even indicated he would attack Iran and start another war in Syria.  Then he said he would keep parts of Obamacare and won’t lower those taxes.  Now he is back to saying he will get rid of Obamacare.  He supports the extreme views of those who say ‘rape is an act of god’, there such a thing as ‘legitimate rape’, ‘there is something within a woman’s body that will stop her from becoming pregnant if she is legitimately raped’, etc.  Just who is the real Mitt Romney?  The real Mitt Romney is the used car salesman who has changed his profession from selling the used car lemons to sell snake oil promising that it will cure all that ails the United States of America.  Women, PLEASE!!!  DON’T FALL INTO THE TRAP AND BUY THAT SNAKE OIL!!!!!  It really is toxic and the venom is very dangerous.  This man wants smaller government except when it comes to your body.  He wants government out of our personal lives unless you are a woman.  He wants government to be the decider of what happens with your body, if you should use contraceptives or not, whether or not you should have a baby as a result of a rape or not, have screenings for breast cancer or not, etc.  The man is trying to sell you a bill of goods that have no substance.  DON’T BUY IT!!!  You will still get a used car that is nothing but a lemon.  https://sites.google.com/site/juanitasackey/

        To ALL The Obama Doubters

For those of you who are considering not voting for President Obama this time around.  Please keep in mind that Mitt Romney's views are whatever is convenient for him to say at a given time to get your votes.  As for the president's record.  No man or woman could have gotten this country out of the mess that President Bush left it in any faster than Obama has.  Romney's message that (1) 'I'm not concerned about the poor.  They will take care of themselves.' (2) '47 % of the people in the country are slackers, moochers, or takers who need think they are entitled to what we (the rich) have.  They just want the government to hand them checks, food stamps, medical care, etc. but don't pay taxes to get it.'  (3) 'I think that women don't deserve the same pay that a man does.'  (4) 'I want less government except when it comes to a woman's body.  The government must control that issue.'  (5) 'I won't make the rich pay more.  I'll just make you (the working class) pay more.'  (6) 'I think that poor children need to figure out a way to take care of themselves and their college education.'  (7) 'If you get sick, don't sit in your apartment.  We'll get you to the emergency room so you can sit there for hours to, maybe, get the care you need for whatever ails you.'  (8) 'I support the theory that slavery was good for Black people.  They need to understand that.  I know because my family owned slaves.'  (9) 'I know how to create jobs. I outsourced many jobs and sent them to China.'  (10) 'I know how to rebuild companies.  I took many of them over and sent them into bankruptcy and put those people out of work.'  (11)  'If you served in the military, "thank you."  I sought ways to avoid serving.  You're on your own to survive whatever injuries you incurred in the line of duty but I will increase the budget and seen more of you to fight in Iran, or wherever.  I can't wait to accomplish this because the Prime Minister of Israel thinks we need to fight Iran.  I also think we need to go to war with Russia.'  (12) 'If you paid into Social Security, so what.  I think your money needs to be put at risk on Wall Street rather than in the safer place the government has it.' and the most famous one of all (13) 'Trust me when I say that it is not going to happen. My word is fact.  I won't tell you how much I will raise your taxes by.  Just know that it will be more in favor of the rich and less in favor for the middle class or poor.'  Folks, look past the smoke and mirrors that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are selling you.  My vote has already been cast for our economy to continue on the path of success we are on.  You can follow the smoke and mirrors route if you care to but I guarantee you will pay a heavy price in the end.  Think about it.
