Via Colorlines
America is getting more and more diverse — for instance, our Hispanic population grew by 43 percent in the past decade alone — but you’d never be able to tell it by looking at our Congress. Here’s what the House and Senate look like today, alongside what they would look like if they were demographically representative of our nation. Spoiler alert: There’s not a lot of color on the Hill.
The paramount issue is upward mobility for diverse communities. Running for Public Office is not cheap. When we begin to look into income levels and backgrounds, I think we will find the reflection accurate. Another factor, I would have liked to see in this study is age. How old is our country vs our congress?
Buppies, What can we do to elevate our people into this type of servant leadership?
I cannot stand the political atmosphere. It is like everyone know 2+2 = 4, but since our President is black and he agrees that 2+2=4 . Some people will deny all logic, and say 2+2=2.67555?? One of my friends, got sick of it and lashed out. BTW, These are someone’s personal opinion. Does not reflect my personal political stance.
Some of you may get a kick out of this, so I decided to post it. There are a couple of “Rush Limbaugh Worshippers” who insist on e-mailing me all the time on various political issues. Here’s my response to one of them when he sent me yet another lie about Health Care Reform. His e-mail to me, which initiated my response, is at the end of this e-mail. Warning: This is LONG.
Hi “So and So”,Since you seem intent on disseminating lies and various untruths just because your party lost the election; and you also seem intent on forwarding the RepubliCANTs lies to ME as if I am going to suddenldy believe that the Repulsives’ Propaganda Machine have MY or YOUR interest at heart instead of the interest of the big businesses and racist militia groups that fund their campaigns, here’s a reality check that you should send to all of those on your e-mail list, if you have the guts to do so. (I doubt it though because people PREFER to complain rather that fix the problems or work with those who are about the business of getting things done.)
1. There is NO assualt on senior citizens. (Call AARP and find out for YOURSELF… you’d be surprised http://www.aarp.org/)
2. There is no “dirty little secret.”
3. Don’t fall for the okie doke.
As a far-rightwinger, YOU, I’m sure, are just the person to whom I can talk to about Biblical passages, as I am sure that you stay abreast of God’s Word so you can twist it and spew it to others who choose not to read and get understanding (tongue in cheek, here — LOL), so here goes:
In the old Testament, remember how the Isrealites constantly complained to Moses?
Throughout Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, the people complained and complained to Moses.
Recall how in Numbers 20, the Iseralistes were so angry, that they told Moses that they would have preferred to remain in slavery than to be free??? This whole freedom thing was a CHANGE that the Isrealites felt that they could have done without! LOL In the end, the complainers did not get to the promised land. God wiped them out. Now fast forward to today’s issues, and it look’s like “God’s people” (and I use that term euphemistically) would prefer the days of under-; little-; or no health-care reform rather than work TOGETHER to put together a deal that benefits ALL or MOST Americans.
Do not be like the incourageable Isrealistes; model yourself after the Isrealites that believed and followed Moses. Now, I am NOT saying that President Obama is God incarnate, but I AM saying STOP LETTING OTHERS THINK FOR YOU, and STOP forwarding lies via email.
Now that you are retired, I can tell by your emails that you are surrounded by the Rush Limbaugh “Scare ‘Em and Fear ‘Em Brigade.” Let me put some levity and balance back into your life.
Here are the facts, if you are bold enough to read them. Read this to the very end; click on the links and read those too. Warning: You may see the light! LOL But…
…I know you won’t…
This is something WORTH forwarding. Let your Palin Partners – militia groupie – tea bagger friends see BOTH sides of this isssue, not just the side presented on Fearsome and Unbalanced media outlets. I’ve made comments to you in red bold, so read all the way through. I know this email is long, and you know that I don’t take this much time for just anybody, but I care about you, Ed, and it appears that you have lost your way — consider me your torch in the wilderness of Rebuplican Idiotology!! LOLOL!!!
You have read all about the BP Oil Spill Mess.
Well Our President Obama had to pop off and let people know he is doing his due diligence to get to the bottom of this BULLShyt.
Pop the HOOD:
Woooo Hooo. That Man was mad! Peep how he had to use hands to let this Chick know.
While, some people frown on cussing, the impact of a “curse word”, an expletive, by a Buppie brings an entirely different tone to things. It says, “I am not playing ANY MORE”, ” BITCH don’t ask no’ mo Questions.” and my most favorite “I GOT THIS.”
It works. (Just Don’t Cuss at Anyone. That doesn’t work.)
One time I had to break down to my boss, a situation where a team was not going after a business opportunity. I put it to him in many ways.
“They have failed to come to a conclusion early enough to provide a solution.”
“Their value proposition for this opportunity fell short. ”
He kept asking and asking. “UH? WHAT?”
Finally, I had to let my naggin ass boss know:
“Look, they realized they were fucked. It was too late to respond to the bid.”
He sure understood that right there.
Cuss. It works.
