        As we approach the most historical Presidential Election in the history of the United States of America, the KKK rears its ugly head.  We are all aware of the fliers  placed on windshields of cars at a Long Island Railroad Station Parking Lot.  I am sick and tired of division, prejudice, hate, violence and ignorance.     I can't believe that a certain ethnic group believes that their race is the only one on planet earth that has the exclusive right to liberty and justice.  As for the KKK, who supposedly hates Jews, Blacks, and God knows who else, and  profess to be Christians, fail to understand that Christ was a Jew.   Furthermore, He did not have blue or green eyes, nor was he a blonde  haired Caucasian.  Yeshua (Jesus) was from the Middle East, who spoke a foreign language  (duh!),  which was called Aramaic.  He would definitely not meet the criteria of the KKK.  If these 'intelligent' KKK members have any cultural knowledge, they would know that Middle Easterners are historically dark, with curly dark brown hair.  Also, when you teach your children by example to hate others, you put your children's life in danger.  Because of their hate, they may say or do things that are not only dangerous to others, but to themselves as well.   

        I can't believe that Americans are willing to live in economic despair, hate, bigotry and misery, than vote for a man that can rescue our nation,  because he is a man of color, as our Lord was.  Their hate is so strong that it has blinded them from what is obvious and the better choice.  And for crying out loud, why would Senator Biden who is a good man, and the lowest paid Senator in the Senate back Senator Obama,  if he didn't believe he was the best candidate,  as do millions of  other good Americans.     

         The KKK, two weeks before the election is spreading a message of hate, intimidation and ignorance, in an attempt to sway the good American people to do what is wrong, and that is not to use good judgment.

"Iraq has a budget surplus of $79 Billion American Dollars, which is being paid by hard working US Taxpayers!" according to the House Budget Committee.  

American tax payers pay through Federal Income Tax for the war in Iraq, that our Republican Administration has implemented.  As we face an economic crisis here at home, our government continues to funnel money into Iraq, at the rate of $10 Billion a month.  It is stated that the Iraqi 'government' is slow in spending investment budget. I figure in a country where a war continues to rage, and there is insurgency, it is difficult to spend the money in building homes, schools and hospitals while bullets are still flying. Policy makers justify this spending by saying they need to build Iraq's infrastructure, what about America's infrastructure?

Senator McCain said: "We'll be there for 100 years..." if we do that, America will go bankrupt!  We the American people could utilize that money here at home, in healthcare, free college education, and affordable housing, et. al.  We were told 7 years ago that we wouldn't have to pay for this war, and we are all paying for this war!  The Iraq War funding will total approximately $653 Billion American Dollars through 2009!  In my opinion US Policy Makers, our Administration, stayed on because of special interest in Oil, giving money to US Contracting Operations, and building pipelines.  The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, do they care about the American people?  We put money in their pockets!

We need to end this occupation, and focus on our problems here at home! 

I get deducted $556.00 a month in Federal Income Tax from my hard earned wages, and I'm only one person.  There are millions of Americans still working in this country, could you imagine how much the government is raking in?  Now, we are facing a financial crisis, Lehman Brothers folded, AIG was bailed out, etc. CEO's of these companies get paid $105 million or more in salary every 12 months. Tax them not us!       For more information go to budget.house.gov

Relax fellow Americans!

Politics will be politics, all this hoopla over Senator Obama, having said: "If you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig", was said first by Senator McCain.  McCain's daughter even said that she has heard her father  use that expression many times before.

Gov. Sarah Palin has even compared herself to a pitbull, aren't pitbulls known to be vicious?,  and a 'female' pitbull is a what?.  I don't hear anyone gasping over that remark! 

I believe that people are being overly sensitive, simply because she's a woman, now that's being sexist!

I'm glad Ed Koch sees the humor of this political tirade that is taking place back and forth.

I also believe that people are reacting because Senator Obama is a man of color.  Please keep in mind that he's as much White, as he is Black.  The best of two worlds! 

So, relax fellow Americans!
