I don’t
consider myself a terribly brave person; in my life I’ve experienced extreme
courage and also extreme fear. I am very
slow to call anyone a coward or a hero because I suspect that deep down inside
each of us has the ability to be a hero or a coward, just depends on the
circumstances and the situation. What is
starting to scare me is President Obama as proven in recent events, to harbor strong racial and racist attitudes
which is reigniting the old race wars of the 60’s and 70’s. He and his close advisor, Al Sharpton have
pushed too hard in one direction which (as I predicted) is causing push back in
the racially charged opposite direction, as recently seen in South Carolina.
I am still
trying to figure out who would be the best Republican candidate, we have plenty
to choose from with plenty of strengths and weaknesses; but, it is still early.
