Should There Be A Debate On Who’s To Blame?

Since Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords attempted assassination and the killing of 6 innocent people last Saturday, January 8^th, fingers on both sides of the aisles have been passing the blame.  To me it’s so remarkable that so many people actually believe hate-speech has nothing to do with me.  The 22 year old assassin wounded so many people and appeared to feel no remorse for his dastardly deeds.  I’m glad he was caught.  There were a couple of heroes, including senior men and women who took action in apprehending the villain.  No I didn’t mention his name, he doesn’t deserve it.  I’m pointing the finger at all of us.  Our politicians knew this would happen when you have activists carrying guns to Presidential rallies, activists spitting on politicians and calling them names because of the way they voted.  Were these same activists, radio and TV personalities so venomous with the prior administration?  Come on people, we need to stop fooling ourselves.  Why waste your time on who’s to blame.  No one spoke out against these zealots during these extremely volatile and heated gatherings.  We all know how easy it is to brainwash someone.  Even rap music brainwashes our youth so what do you expect when the media does the same thing?  Someone is weak enough that they will act and will believe that they will be considered a hero by some.  What a shame that we are no better.  Keep the victims and survivors in your prayers.  Pray for this country and leadership and remember that God is always in control.

History In The Making!

Nimrata "Nikki" Randhawa Haley was sworn in as the first woman governor in the history of South Carolina.  The former governor Jim Sanford watched along the sidelines as the first non-white governor took the reigns of control.  I wonder how this will play out since she was supported by the Tea Party.  This will be very interesting and I don’t think she will be supportive of state employees and the under-represented.  I still believe that she has higher aspirations as did our former governor who gave it all up for his Argentinean lover.

Snow In South Carolina!

In fact, snow covered the entire Southeast except Florida.  Then ice came later.  From Monday, January 10, 2011 even up to now January 12, 2011, snow is still on the ground.  It’s just covered with a ¼ inch sheet of ice.  The temperatures haven’t warmed up enough to melt it completely, just enough to turn it water to refreeze at night.  Over 2,600  auto crashes were reported during this time.  The children have been out of school, too!  It looks like they’ll get Thursday off due to black ice on some of the roadways.

Isaac Hayes - Walk on By

Sometimes I ask for too much, too quickly. As the saying goes, “Be careful for what you ask for, you might get what you want.” And what you get might not be what you want in the long run. If I stand back, it will seem that I’m withdrawn and aloof. If I jump in, I’m aggressive and too forward. I’m fighting too hard in the name of commitment. Finding that medium will be a task because being a centrist might be viewed with more caution. I do know that it is difficult to accept someone and at the same time wonder if their spirit is in-sync with yours. Maybe sitting on the sidelines might not be that bad after all. One thing is for sure, pride can get in the way. Pride can do you in. It was foolish of me to think that I could change your heart from someone who never left and to think that I could.

Jerry Butler I Need To Belong (To Someone)

You got to add some old school at one time or another.  It might as well be Jerry Butler.

Annie Lennox – Why?

Once again, she addresses relationships directly. Sometimes telling the person directly how much you feel for them frightens, offends and hurts.
