What are the terrible things I've learned? Horrible things that are the last things I expected from these supposedly "compassionate" and "kind" people. I was listening to Rachel Maddow tonight after having read the news from the Blaze, the Drudge Report, and the Wall Street Journal, as well as video's from CNN and CBS. I know the exact words Senator Coburn used. They did not say President Obama's ideas were goofy because he is black. What Senator Coburn said was the reason President Obama likes the version of government he does is because it worked for him. As a young black man he was able to take advantage of all those special programs for black people and it worked for him. Does that sound racist to you? Of course not. But Rachel made it sound like Senator Coburn stated President Obama's policies are flawed because he is a black man. She outright lied about it. I used to respect her once. But with each lie she has destroyed her credibility. Now it makes me feel ill to listen to her. She is a disgrace to her Profession and a disgrace to the LGBT community.
As one grows through life our world changes. The people you once knew disappear, until sometimes you feel you're screaming into a dark, empty abyss where no one can hear you. Or our cultures keep us silent shaming us to keep us quiet about things they consider taboo. But the truth is, you are never alone. Always there is someone who will listen. I've found new friends and I find my venue in written words. This is how I see the world around me.
