Recently  Sarah Palin put her foot in her mouth. She said that because of the "future success" of the Iraq war, the Republicans have already created change.

Oh my God. How astoundingly ignorant for her to say such a thing.

For one thing, how can anyone claim "Future success", unless they have some sort of a crystal ball? No one can predict the outcome of a war, unless of course, it is being orchestrated and prolonged for monetary reasons (e.g., Haliburton, and other no bid contracts)....hmmmm!  Or perhaps they already have Bid Laden trapped in a hole in the ground somewhere, and are waiting until the 11th hour to pull him out, like an ace card from up the sleeve, (like they did with Saddam), and then claim victory just in time to get a boost in the polls before election day.

Next, exactly what "Change" have the Republicans created in Iraq? The day before the U.S. invaded Iraq under the guise of Operation Iraqi Freedom with the explicit objective to uncover WMD's which Saddam has since been found NOT to have, the Iraqi people were minding there own business and living normal lives. The only "change" we seem to have accomplished under this Republican Administration has been to disrupt the way of life for an entire nation, and bring grief and hardship to all the families involved on both sides of the globe.

For anyone to say that "Change" has been created in Iraq as a result of this war is like someone taking a wrecking ball to a neighbor's home, and then taking credit helping them to rearrange their furniture....

 Absolutely ridiculous!

For the past few days, as the G.O.P. has conducted it's convention, the Republican party has coined a new party slogan..."America First".

Immediately many questions come to mind regarding this seemingly empty phrase, but I will ask only one...

"If the Republican party truly believes in putting America first, why is it then, for the past eight years, the Republicans have been allowing our wealth and job base to be exported over seas, while slowly crippling our economy to a near breaking point?"

Indeed what Pastor said in church was wrong. However, to understand why anyone would infer that the American government is responsible for H.I.V./Aides, you must first know something about the Tuskegee Experiments that went unchecked from 1932-1972.. when Pastor Wright was in his youth.

For 40 years African-American people were infected and used as guinea pigs for the "NON-treatment" of one of the worse venereal diseases in world history, Syphilis. Many of the men inflicted with this disease were lied to as to what they had, and in some cases, some (who were not even sick) were injected with the Syphilis virus.

 

Now why would anyone do this?  I don't know, but it is very wicked and was perpetrated by our own American government. So now I ask you, if someone you love or in your family was deliberately infected with a debilitating disease and refused treatment and left to die while infecting the rest of your family, how would you feel?

 

I suspect that you would be angry at the world as well.

 

So now, here we are with a disease called H.I.V. / Aides, which for some odd reason began as a virus that was predominantly found in the African-American communities of America and ironically, the Black tribes of the African continent in epidemic proportions. But why not England, or Australia. Or how about Budapest where Brothels are legal? Why is there no epidemic there?

 

Knowing what we now know about the "Experiments" at Tuskegee, it is not far fetched for some to debate that this "Blood Disease" was man made as a result of the research done at Tuskegee, and then planted and allowed to spread among a targeted group of people as a form of genocide.

 

Now one would say that H.I.V. is not an exclusive "Black" disease, and they would be correct. It is a Blood disease. But you have to also remember, that prior to the 1970's, under the guise of discrimination,  it was socially unacceptable and in some states forbidden by law, for Black's to mix with White's, e.g. separate restrooms, diners, water fountains, and of course marraige.

 

Perhaps there were whites who knew about the secret experiments at Tuskegee and keeping the races separate became "policy". I guess we now know why!
