ABOUT UNITY....IT STARTS HERE IN BLOGATOPIA...

Is it 1958 or 2008 ?

So last night was the West Virginia Primary, and as usual I liveblogged it- and I do this because I want to keep a record of this season...and I also do it so we can vent, share and talk to each other. I Liveblog the Debates and the Primaries, and sometimes I vent and sometimes I cuss, and I try to keep it Real. For the most part if anyone wants to go back and read my posts, they can see that I have been fairly polite about Hillary, and actually said very little. I admit that this week Hillary with her "Hardworking White People" Statement trampled my last nerve- for good. She has pretty much crawled through every patch of mud that she could during this Campaign season, and created a Festering Wound of a Democratic party at this point. And this past week she decided that Racism is her Best and Favorite Platform. And yes, Obama Supporters, including this Obama Mama is against ANY AND ALL RACISM. PERIOD.

So in the Post the Night of the West Virginia Primary I had a visitor in the thread..( he has only been by occasioanlly in recent many monthes actually.) Yet the tone of his visit became clear, and that bothered me. And he has been blogging on his own blog about the problems with Obama supporters- if I had known THAT I would have seen what was coming....BUT I did not. So after a few snitty comments by him I went and read his blog and realized that he came looking for a fight. BUT he claimed he wanted to talk Unity, but if one read his LATEST post about What he thinks of Obama Supporters they would see that is NOT why he came to visit. ( I hate to mention him , but he has made it clear that I am a problem , and I need to be able to defend my blog, I think that is my right).

So I will say what I have said before- this Blog is for people that are rooting and working to support Obama.It is actually for anyone, but it has indeed become a refuge for Obama People, because some other blogs have not been as welcoming these past few monthes. And there are some that visit and are letting go of Hillary ( I know who you are and I am glad to see you again). I don't like it when Anybody comes here to pick a fight with me or my readers....I am not cool with that. I have avoided many blogs for monthes- so I would not piss off Hillary supporters, so this blog has been my main Refuge and I also know it is a refuge and retreat for others....If I post an open thread and say that it is to Vent ( usually about the crappy media) that is MY choice...and I also do it because I am not into have Arguments and Heated Discussions, other blogs do that kind of Forum, NOT mine. ( I admit that in the thread last night- I did indeed get heated- because this is a serious issue as far as I can see...and frankly, it is my blog....and If I support Obama- you can bet I will be supporting him strongly.) And yes, I blog about the Clintons and how they have campaigned- once or twice a week I blog about what they have been doing State by state, and about what I honestly have been watching as a Blogger, a Mom, and as a nurse. That does not make me a Bad Hateful Person ready to be judged...it does not Make me a Bad Democrat either. It means I am Worried about Our Country.

Unity is about People respecting each other, and not going to other blogs and picking fights or attacking the Writers or the Blog of another.....or Insinuating that People that Support Obama are not smart enough or trying hard enough to Unite the Party...THAT is far from the Truth. There will have to be Healing, but the Healing will start once Hillary leaves the Race and stops her Hatemongering and Fearmongering and her WhiteBread Campaign Strategy, which is angering alot of people , rightfully so. She is Running the Campaign of an Bitter Elitist White Woman, and she has been since South Carolina, like it is 1950 and she NOW is pretending it is based on "Values" ( How Rovian can she go ?). She and Bill have divided this Country like a Broken Pie, so before Unity is Embraced, they will have to show that they are ready to facilitate the Healing. They have spent months speaking divisively and negatively about many people and states in a destructive manner.Healing is about Forgiveness, but there has been some Unforgiveable Behavior that needs to be addressed.

It will be up to ALL of us in Blogatopia to find ways to Heal this Party , but it starts with People behaving with Respect and Integrity...and Speaking the Truth....And that Means that Racism, used as a Campaign Strategy has to be Faced Head On. and Not in November....NOW.
