Turning over a new leaf this year. I will make a greater effort on my blog and add more musings and more papers. Today is a slow news day, not much other than the usual whining of politics, Hollywierd fawning over itself after the golden globes mess and sadly the earthquake in PR and the Fires in Australia.
I am glad to see we are sending some experienced fire fighters from the USFS to help out, we need to do more humanitarian missions, in my opinion.
This year is going to be a wild ride with the fate of our nation in flux. We as conservatives need to make sure that we get off our duffs and get to the polls to vote. We need to show the world that these left wingers have awaken a sleeping giant, know as the silent majority. Not all of us are leftists, not all of us are republicans, be we are all Americans!
Here is a little something I wrote on FB this week. I think it sums up my mindset right now:
Look, I'm half white. Grew up in an Hispanic culture most of my life. Colombian, Mexican, on the border, also in urban areas. Lived in Japan for several years. Bottom line, white people are not to blame for anyone's problems. Life is what you make of it. What you put in, you get out. If you expect the world to be handed to you without hard work, you are mistaken.
America is and always has been a land of great opportunities, but you have to make and take them. I have been to South Africa and I have seen real racism there. In Japan, I have been asked to leave places or have been harassed by police because I'm not Asian. In some areas of the US, I have gotten bad service because I don't speak Spanish fluently enough. But you know what? I survived, I moved on and i made my own life and my own successes.
I had no one to bail me out, I grew up poor, mom died what I was in my early 20s. I had no silver spoon or platter. What I have I made myself. Now I have a great family, great friends of all races, colors, religions, etc and why? Because I built those bonds through being a good person, working hard and not waiting for them to hand me something.
We need to stop focusing on what color or religion or political party we are, we need to understand, we are all Americans. We are all being played by those in power to focus on our differences and dislike each other because of them. If you cant see that, you are truly blind. We are Americans, our freedoms are being attacked through manipulation and psychological means. We need to wake up, all if us and tell those in power, we have had enough.
