Please explain it to me.....

Amazingly, I cannot understand why there are so many divisions in this country.

If you are homosexual, I do not need to know that. Just as you do not need to know if I am or am not homosexual. What does it matter? If I am hired to do a job, my sexuality has absolutely nothing to do with how well - or how poorly - I do my job, where I buy my groceries, where I shop, what I buy, where I go out to dinner, the movies I choose to see.

And no one can explain to me why knowing this would be important.

If I am black, again, it does not affect how well - or how poorly - I do my job.

Same goes for Asian, Latino, Italian, Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, tall, short, thin, fat, green, purple, orange or burgundy.

Maybe I am just too literal.

Either you want to be in this country, become a citizen, acknowledge the struggles that have gone into building this nation & assimilate - or you want to be in a different country. Get a job & work to earn your place here. Do not ask for handouts just because you decide you are somehow 'owed' something. It's really very simple.

Giving special priority to anyone just because they exist is wrong. Giving preferential treatment to someone because of the color of their skin, or sexuality, or shoe size, or whether they are right or left handed, needs to stop.

And before anyone says "discrimination" is the reason....I've experienced it. Been there on the receiving end. And moved past it. It was the problem of the person(s) who were ignorant. But no one held a parade for me, no special prosecutor was appointed, no one stepped in to 'make it right'. I did that by doing my job & doing it well. I did that by living my own life which includes helping others.

It seems to me that the only ones creating divisions are those who are claiming to have been 'set apart', yet continually try to set themselves apart as a 'victim'.

So, again, I ask: what do all these divisions have to do with anything?

I am a smart person, but I really do not understand.

Stop the nonsense in the NYT!

The best way - the only way - to make the NYT understand we, the people of the United States, are tired of their singular pursuit of stories, no matter the cost - is....tah dah

CONTACT ALL ADVERTISERS IN THE NYT & TELL THEM YOU WILL NO LONGER BE A CUSTOMER OF THEIRS.

Then do it. Or rather, do NOT do it. DO NOT shop there. DO NOT buy from them. DO NOT use their services.

And tell them why. Exactly. Because they advertise in the NYT and therefore support the rag. Tell the advertisers that you will not be a customer as long as they are clients of the NYT.

It works!!!

Just look at the advertisers who have pulled their support of certain t.v. shows & how quickly those shows were pulled from network schedules. (the Book of Daniel comes to mind)

Now, if the current readers & subscribers of the NYT actually do this, I will be the most surprised woman on the face of this planet. Actually, if the current subscribers & readers just stop subscribing & reading the NYT, they can remove all power from that paper to try to influence.

The people in L.A. should do this also.

I just do not have faith that this will happen in either area. And unless it does, most of the rest of this country will believe that those two areas are completely devoid of any common sense.

I am deeply ashamed that our country has allowed these pathetic, greedy, avaricious reporters and their accomplices (read traitors) to continue unabated in their 'war on America'. I would like to suggest that these reporters, the entire staff and owners of the NYT be sent to live in Iraq for at least 5 years. Let them 'enjoy', through first-hand experience, what it is like to live in the real world of terrorism.

Some day these people will finally go too far and the rest of the nation will awaken from the drunken stupor provided by the MSM. When that day comes, and ONLY when that day comes, will we who are actually living in the REAL WORLD, with real lives, with real concerns - be allowed to say "I TOLD YOU SO! WHY DIDN'T YOU LISTEN?"

My prayer is that those who are not listening, not believing, not understanding, not doing anything to stop these acts of treason - my prayer is that it will NOT be too late.

My fear is that it WILL be too late because there are too many who are hiding their head in the sand, imagining some mysterious 'others' will fix this.

Every American needs to stand up and be counted. Every American needs to take responsibility for their own actions and for the actions of those elected to represent them.

For myself and my family, we will continue to support the war on terrorism. We will continue to be thankful for those who put themselves in harms way to protect us. We will continue to believe ('I believe. I believe. I know it's silly but I believe...') that good will conquer evil.

Thank you for carrying the load. I know it is heavy and may seem others don't care. Please understand that more believe in what you are doing than the MSM will ever have the intestinal fortitude to admit.

We will continue to support you. We will continue to ask God's blessing and safekeeping for you and yours.
