Our first lady, Michelle Obama, stated she was proud of her country for the first time after her husband was nominated as the democrat candidate for POTUS.
I firmly disagreed with her assesment in that I see America as a shining city on a hill - a beacon of freedom and liberty - a last bastion of freedom and liberty on earth.
Now, it didn’t start out that way. I learned it growning up. From the advent of Ragallo hang-gliders to our ultimate landing on the moon which I watched live on TV as a 6 yr old.
I grew up in the 70s when music was flawless in creative excess, even wound up a major Frank Zappa fan.
In my world, space was a frontier and no one told me my life had limits. In fact the opposite was true. I was told I could be and do anything in America I put my mind to.
My father, a maintanence painter and my mother a home maker found a way to send my to a top technical college because I had a nack for aceing tests without really having to study that much (a trend that would drastically change when faced with weeder course CHEM101).
fast forward...
So, I stand agasp at Michell Obama’s comments, but recognizing others have a unique American experience I seek to understand her perspective (as the privilaged potential next FLOTUS).
I think it through logically. After all, I graduated in Microprocessor Architecture having subsequently worked on a Floating Point Unit for a Pentium II clone with MMX.
My conclusion, this woman is driven by an ideology running completely counter to my perception of America, and one that if encourage could destoy the country I and my parents love.
So. You get what we have here today. My offensive post.
Michell Obama IS a RACIST! Michell Obama SEEKS America’s FALL to MARXISM! Michell Obama does looks like James Brown...
...and I don’t care what you think about that.
Huge James Brown fan! I’m hugh and series.
Well you’re definitely gonna be okay then. ;D
Yes, all 57 states.
