A Day of Rememberance for 9/11 & Remembering the Enemy

Remembering the multitude of people who died 10 years ago today in New York, D.C., and Pennsylvania...may God blessed their souls and taken those souls home. In prayers that they hurt no more. (PAUSE FOR A MOMENT OF SILENCE)

This is also a day to remember the real enemy. We need as a country to remember the problem isn't here and our divisiveness (the difference of race & ethnic background), the problem is the extremists who believe their God is the true God or the greater One. With that being said how much more is it going to take to develop unity in this country amongst the differernt races? Why do you think American forces are in the Arabic regions of the Middle East? Our troops are not fighting abroad to continue to have the social injustices that we continue to practice amongst our people with hate crimes and racism. Our troops are fighting terrorism. Our troops are fighting for peace and security of our nation. Yes...we as a nation are known globally as bullies. We do have the tendency to criticize and judge other countires. We do need to work on not trying to dictate how other customary practices of the world are being done.

So what's really going on? We're not taking care of home. Stop allowing illegal immigrants to take our jobs and resources for living. Stop allowing racist behaviors to kill innocent people. Teach love; not hate. As long as we continue to have division and havoc in our nation, then we're continuing to make room for terrorism.

Take a Look at Our History

Since George Washington was the first president of America's history, we as a nation had continued to have the same as the Head of State. When the historical election of Barack Obama becoming president, notice the tensions amongst every race and culture here. White men seeking to assassinate him for what reason? Not because they don't like his proposed policies, but because they specifically state they don't want a black man running this country. Then, there's the formation of the Tea Party. Say what you want, but this version of the Tea Party is nothing like the historic Boston Tea Party. No...this Tea Party formed so erratically and quickly that their only mission was to stand against everything President Obama set forth. Never in the history of presidents did a fellow congressman yell out "You lie!" to the president during a national, live, presidential address on television. Remember the election night? President Obama and his family had to walk out in bulletproof glass upon learning he was elected into office! Remember when John McCain lost? His supporters booed when McCain congratualted his opponent! What is with the signs that says "Go back to Africa?" Obama wasn't born in Africa!

Then the stall to raise the debt ceiling. Hmmm...why was it when former presidents proposed the same thing (Regan and both Bushes) there was not conflict of interest and the votes went through? I've never seen in my life a bunch of people hell bent on making one man fail as a president in this country as with Obama. Yes, former presidents were assassinated; true. Why? It was always something connected to helping the poor or seeking to improve the way of life for the non-whites.

Just remember, people...without congress, the president can do nothing. He's tried his best to get along on a bi-partisanship attitude even with some of his own democrats turning against him. So enough with the, "he's not fulfilling his promises"! Besides Bill Clinton, who in the presidential history of the United States have been able to successfully keep their promises as a politician without the support of the congressional leaders? I guess many of y'all won't be happy until everyone is in the poor house.

Unconditional Love

Unconditionally, we are to love our parents, spouses, and children. However, I've learned that love has conditions when it's convienent for many people. Love is convienent when you run out of money to pay bills and you need to ask favors from people you don't even acknowledge on a day to day basis. Love is convienent when you burn all of your bridges and cannot find a place to rest your head at night. Love is convienent when your spouse cares for you when you're down; despite taking advantage of him/her since before the nuptuals. Love is wonderful to take from someone willing to give you their all when you have no intentions on giving love back. Love isn't denying civil rights. Love is free; no one should be setting a price for whatever dumb ass reason they may have.

Sense the sarcasm? I hope so! Remember that love conquers all. Love is shared through a meaningful kiss. Love is received when you share someone's pain. Love sees no color or origin. Love feels no pain or sickness. Love is a taught through family via God.

So why do we have so much hatred in the world? So much division, separatism, and disrespect taught to our children? Why is there a rise of exposure of what is really going on within the races now that President Obama is in office? Yes, I'm throwing in the race card. We may say publicly race doesn't matter when in reality, race matters in our homes. It matters if a person is accepting of multi-culturalism and teaches to love and respect ALL PEOPLE of ALL BACKGROUNDS. It matters if a person isn't for a united country; willing to see change from someone other than the national norm. At the end of the day, what you need to do is teach your children how to love the same people you don't love because of what you were taught and have no clue on what's really going on.
