Rudy Rude

Rudy Giuliani must have recently visited Florida to look at the ass prints he left there on the road to the white house. I say this because his envy over where President Obama resides is all too apparent. When Mr. Giuliani said that President Obama does not love this country or you or me he really meant that President Obama does not love white America to the exclusion of the rest of America! For some reason, Mr. Giuliani cannot grasp why President Obama thinks he should represent all Americans.

Sorry Rudy, we do not mean to confuse you. I also know better than to try to change you. So go home to your bomb shelter, light up a non-filtered Lucky Strike, put on some bebop, and lament the passing of the worst features of that era. The rest of us will celebrate the good things, such as the rise of the middle class and the prosperous world economy America did so much to create back then. We will also celebrate Brown v. Board of Education, the Civil Rights Act of 1957, President Eisenhower enforcing school integration by sending troops into Little Rock Arkansas, and all of the progress we have made in trying to create fairer society for all of our people. We will celebrate those difficult things, sometimes with tears in our eyes over the pain so many suffered for the sake of justice, and we will continue to dedicate ourselves to the uncompleted task of making this the society it must become.

Although we know change can be painful, we dedicate ourselves to the cause of justice because we love America, not because we loath America.  True love is never blind love, and the true patriot is the person who strives to make his or her country better!
