always tend not to pay attention
\nto what they do not want to believe is real<\/p>\n
take author Robert Kagan who stated this very morning
\n“The world did not object to the Iraq War when we went in,
\nwe look bad to them now, because of how, it was carried out.”
\nso i guess Mr. Kagan did not pay attention
\nto the world wide anti-war movements all around the world
\nBEFORE we invaded Iraq.<\/p>\n
take candidate Hillary Clinton who voted for the war,
\nagainst the war, must stay until Iraq has security
\ntoday traveling to Selma, Alabama to commemorate
\nthe Civil Rights Movement – it this her first trip?
\nwhat is special about the 42nd anniversary?
\nif she went was her last visit to Selma
\nalso an election year?<\/p>\n
Take candidate Rudy Giuliani, so did he object
\nwhen told it was safe for the disaster workers
\nand the New Yorkers to breathe the air at ground zero?
\nIs he for abortion or no? Gay rights or no?<\/p>\n
I’ll give you an Ann Colter with her personal sexual issues
\noozing up from the bottom of her boyish body to her throat
\nlaughing “fagot” of a candidate she opposes.<\/p>\n
Give me a break from the nasty name calling
\nand do me a favor by answering one question
\nas this elliptical full moon nears my western horizon:<\/p>\n
What’s so special about the 42nd that was not so special
\nabout the 41st?<\/p>\n
Never mind, I’ll tell what is so special…
\nbelieving that a man or a woman or a black
\nor a Mexican or an Italian can be elected
\nas a US president.<\/p>\n
EXCISE me! What?
\nOK, prove me wrong the day we once again
\nonce again are bored as two white male candidates
\ndebate nothing(.)<\/p>\n
And don’t try to tell me I hate whites, or especially
\nwhite men I am in the dark
\nof the moon and the light of one blue candle burning
\nor inside out or round about or otherwise
\ndecanting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
