chris matthews forgot he was black?

I love having a forum to express myself even it is just ranting about yesterdays news. I was not one bit surprised to see Chris Matthews make a total fool of himself after the big speech last night, you know that as soon as Glen Beck or Rush says something racial (about race) Chris Matthews is one of the first to push it down there throat and try and make a fuss. So it was so refreshing to see Chris Matthews step in his own trap and say something that was not only extremely racial but raciest when he explained that he forgot obama was black for an hour. I once heard a ridicules statistic that you think of Abe lincoln once a day. We may never be able to confirm this but now we know that Chris Mathews things about Obama's skin color at least once every hour. This answered any questions we may of had about who the president was referring to while he was giving us the rundown on his enemies list and mentioned TV pundits.

It was funny to hear Matthews talk about the feeling running up his leg over the speech and other americans downing the worlds greatest liberal in the same day. Some have said that the Ipad is a disappointment but clearly it was the only liberal victory of the day. If only Barack could run the country with the same class that Jobs uses to run Apple. I would say that the world would be better off if the two men would switch offices but the fact remains that unlike the us government in its current state Apple is making lives better and creating jobs.

Thanks for ruining my world!

Perhaps you have noticed the lack of participation in this blog on the part of my political counterpart and myself. Chris and I still talk about politics on a regular basis and take a lot of time to study the issues. The issue for us seems to be that we compromise way too easily, because the more we study and discuss the facts the less politically polarized we become. I still value my conservative principals and Chris relentlessly expresses the need for change in the liberal direction. The issue in blogging comes when we see members of our party stand up and say things that are so polarized and containing no fact that we can’t maintain our personal moral standing and take sides with the political extremist.

Our political system gets more extreme day-by-day and our politicians are at fault. I would like to take an unpopular conservative stand, and say that global warming could indeed be a serious problem for the world in coming days. My religion tells me to treat this world with respect and leave it better than I found it, with a prayer that my children will do the same. My political party tells me that preserving our world is an economic gamble that we should not be willing to take. I feel stuck in the middle of these opposing views. I don’t know if I can take a position and still support both God and Country.

Because of this dilemma I think to myself why this is even a political issue. The science of climate change is very challenging and it is difficult to determine what effects human activity has on a system so complex and dynamic as our climate. What we really need now is good science so we can determine what needs to be done. We need great economic forecasting to see what effects flipping America’s economy on its head will have. But what we have instead is scientists afraid of crossing the political line. We have commentators twisting science to make a political point they hope will blow their competition out of the water.

So back to my original question, why is this a political issue in the first place? In my mind it all comes back and rests solely on the shoulders of one despicable source. A rejected politician who introduces himself as the rejected looser of a heavily debated election “I used to be the next president of the United States”. Al Gore is more of a fear monger than he projects Glenn Beck to be. He is willing to go in front of the world and declare that this is a political issue that only a liberal with the control of big government can fix. My stomach almost exploded with a vomit of anger and disgust as I saw him for the second time this month on prime time TV selling his book of which is filled with the equivalent of popular political terrorism. He uses the media to stir up fear in the hearts of the people in a way that makes al-qaeda jealous. He promotes his fame and financial interests more openly than the pop stars of today. This man wants to flip our economy right into the hands of his supporters on second grade science, while the issue is still being discussed in the real scientific community.

Perhaps this aspiring political prophet is correct. And if he is, when we see billions of coastal liberals flooding the heartland of America on their escape from rising sea levels, we will all be able to look to good old Al and thank him for taking this extremely important science and tying it up in never-ending government and political bureaucracy.
