Standards are trumping excuses finally

Our American society’s willingness to accept about anything, to include the murder of our children for robbery, is over.

This poster perceives that our past decades emphasis on addressing underlying causes is now being balanced by a two pronged approach, with the second approach being protecting the main part of society from thugs. In the far distant past, this was called normal police protection. Said another way, we protected and promoted our winners, which are in fact the majority of our society. And these hard workers still need the respect and benefits that all our local, state, and federal politicians can provide. Where we lost our way decades ago when we emphasized addressing the underlying issues as a first and only priority is even older than my time. So thank goodness our American standards are trumping excuses, finally. Mom’s and Pop’s and kids should always be a priority.

The recent Democratic candidate Obama speech about his minister is such an example of accepting, and indirectly promoting, the old status quo way of promoting excuses over standards. While I agree with and know much of the obvious report of the bitterness in the Negro community over past terrible laws and prejudices, this whole idea is a failing idea of focusing on the past and excuses vice standards, and not our New World American future. And so much of America is past all this, though obviously Mr. Obama and much of his constituency is apparently not. His world is different from my world, and I still get to vote, also. He gets his vote and money, and I get mine. He does probably get more money.

Just what does he and his types expect to happen in the future, as if I should accept the murder of my daughter by a robber because the robber was a Negro or Cumberland Plateau lowlife? The common cause is America, not any individual group. And the best way to change America is by standards, not excuses. What is always amazing is that so many know this, and say thank you. Most of my thank you’s are from rural Negro people, by the way, mostly fear oriented from city people. While we and they have put up with all our past practices is both condemning and historically accurate. The drug impact is appalling, mostly from the crime distribution point of view. Most galling is to hear Mr. Obama’s Rev. Wright protest there are more young black men in prison than in college. While I don’t agree with his numbers, I do agree with locking up thugs to protect the breadwinners in society.

And the objective of thinking “American” is the right focus. And the objective includes having standards trump excuses. There is no race card, only an American National Interest and New World card, I hope. Now this is a voting issue.

That there are few other potential national leaders running for the federal President and their parties choices are giving us their choices, for us to vote on, suggests changes are due.
