Which is worst the Claim of Birtherism or the Claim of Just Lucky?


Many of us have heard some say over and over again that the president should never had been allowed to run because he was not born in the United States.  We have heard this for so long that many of us quickly ignore those who say that not because we do not wish to face the truth but because we are not insane enough to allow truth to be formed into a lie.  Now, one of my favorite people of Washington, Chris Matthews said on his show “Hardball” that it could be just the “luck of Obama” that is why this president is successful. 

Both of these ideas share one common thread.  That common thread is the illegitimacy of Barack Obama.  The birth conspiracy means that his parents had to foresee that he would be running for president in order to make sure he could win which means manipulating the announcement of his birth and paying to have a false birth certificate created.  The problem with the lucky argument is it assumes that this president does not possess the intelligence to outsmart his opposition.  It assumes that this president relies heavily on luck instead of skill.

This “lucky” issue should have been solved when this president not only won the presidency but won it again.  It should have been solved when he gave the order to take out the pirates to save Captain Phillips, it should have been solved when he killed Osama bin Laden and it surely should have been solved with the passing of the Affordable Care Law after many years of attempts.  Still we have a few who still cannot find a reason to support the fact that while others in Washington is playing checkers, this president is playing chess. 

I call your attention to the recent “lucky” situation where there were plenty of evidence to show that this president was pushing for the total release of Syria from their chemical weapons two years ago but the credit, for some unknown reason, is only applied to the seemingly of-the-cuff comment of John Kerry.  So where do we go with this doubting of this man?

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that...

The Truth about Malcolm X’s Murder Begins and Ends with Louis Farrakhan

What made Malcolm Little stand out from all those born during his era went far beyond intelligence to a point of realism.  History tells us that as a young child, he was subjected to his “Lansing Michigan home being burned to the ground” and the body of his father, Earl, being found “lying across the town’s trolley tracks”.  Both of these incidents were reported by the police as accidents even though there were evidence that the white supremacist organization Black Legion could have been behind this.  He was also subjected to his mother losing her mind, having to be institutionalized and all eight children, including himself” split up amongst various foster homes and orphanages”.   This education and the education of the streets allowed him the opportunity to reexamine his life and the direction it was going while he spent months and even years behind bars for the crimes he committed during his youth.  He finally decided to dedicate his life to a higher cal...

A Tree shall be Known by the Fruit that it Bears

  I find it quite humorous when I hear people claiming to be one thing or another.   Claiming to be a republican, a Democrat, or an Independent but the thing that seriously bothers me when people claim the title of Christian and yet act like a total hypocrite. Hypocrisy is defined as “the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense” and if we are to be honest with ourselves and those around us, not one person can ever claim to not have claimed to be one thing while their actions depict something else.   I don’t think that any one mortal can ever claim that they have not fallen into this trip at least one time or another in their lives.   Because we are human, and accidents happen, it is okay to admit that we have faults and work to fix them instead of covering them up but of course many of us will go to our earthly graves pretending that this has not or currently happened to them. Hence the title of...
