Reporting live, just outside of Reno, Nevada.

Michael Richards, better known as Kramer, from TVs Seinfeld does make a good point. This was his defense speech in court after making racial comments in his comedy act. He makes some very interesting points.

There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc. And then there are just Americans.

You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,' 'Whitey,' 'Caveman'... And that's OK... But when I call you, Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink .. You call me a racist.

You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you. So why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?

You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day. You have Yom Hashoah. You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi. You have the NAACP. You have BET....

If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), we'd be racists. If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists. If we had White History Month, we'd be racists. If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives, we'd be racists.

We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce. Wonder who pays for that?

A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant. If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships... You know we'd be racists.

There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US. Yet if there were 'White colleges', that would be a racist college. In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.

You rob us, car jack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.

I am proud...... But you call me a racist. Why is it that only whites can be racists??

Let's ALL be proud of who we are! We are Americans!

Do you ever wonder?

You know, I've been to Mount Rushmore before, but this time it was different. This time I couldn't help but wonder what those that built this monument would think of America today.

So much thought was placed into the selection of the faces to be carved. And so many men worked so hard, for so long, with primative tools to preserve their tribute in granite. Some died during thier struggle, and I doubt whether any are still alive, but I'd love to have a chat with them if I could.

I'm sure that I'd learn that they came from all walks of life. But were there any ACLU activists, Gays, Muslims, Hippies, or anti-war protestors? I'm sure plenty were Cowboys, American Indians, Chineese, and European imiigants. But were there any Mexicans, or Illegal Aliens?

And I'd ask those workers, who in our government today, would be worthy of being imortalized on that granite mountain? Could it be President Obama, or perhaps Nancy Pelosi? I'm sure that both of them would think that they deserve it.

And what would they think about Eric Holder's crusade to prosecute our CIA and FBI heros for their agressive interview techniques? How would they feel about California's courts mandating teachings about Gay history, while surpressing any suggestion about God in our schools? Would they ever have believed that Florida would support Sharia law in their courts? And what would they think about that over half of able Americans neither work or pay taxes, but instead are freeloading on government entitlements?

I can only imagine.

What a . . . .

. . . . . Wonderful World.

America. I call it "My World" because, although I have lived abroad, it is the only world I truly love and care about. And so, as we are nearing the end of our visiting time with our Cloradoian families, I listened to a very unknown singer provided for us as a courtesy of our campground.

He closed his concert with a Louis Armstrong favorite. And as he sang "What a Wonderful World, I listened, truly for the first time, closely to the words the song as it ponded home so many wonderful thoughts from this trip.

I see trees of green. Red roses too. I see them bllom. For me and for you. And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

I saw those trees and roses in Washington State. And I knew it was My World, but I'll share it with you!

I see skies of blue. Clouds of white. Bright blessed days. Dark sacred nights. And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

I saw those skies of blue, backed by clouds of white, s I pondered at the marvel of Mount Rushmore. And Iknew that was My World, but I'll share it with you!

The colors of a rainbow. So pretty in the sky. Are also on the faces of people passing by. I see friends skaking hands, saying, "How do you do". They're really saying, ......."I Love you."

I saw the rainbows after the thunder storms in Colorado. And I shook those hands of my family and friends in South Dakota. And I really was saying, "I love you!" It is My World, but I'll share it with you!

I hear babies cry. I watch them grow. They'll learn much more than I'll ever know. And, I think to myself what a wonderful world.

And I watched my little grandchildren cry as they grow. And I know someday how smart they will become. It is My World, but I'll share it with you!

God truly has given me His wonderful world!

The brink of

.
Now, I don't think this Country is on the brink of disaster. I think it is already in disaster.

It thinks and acts like a third world country. Our leaders are corrupted and led by greed. Every man for himself.

What have we let be done to America? Over half of us pay no income taxes, while our leaders look to find more ways to tax those that do. The Congress' last minute agreement to raise the debt ceiling and cut the budget was a joke. A circus charade easily seen through by those that pay attention, and the credit downgrade should be no surprise to anyone.

And our President ignored the downgrade as if it was not worth mentioning. The first time ever of America and he doesn't care to respond? That's probably because his experience as a community organizer and his 3-years of experience holding a Senate seat in the most corrupt state in America, didn't prepare him for it. He simply is overwhelmed, and his top advisors are as ignorant as himself!

So, for me I moved from the Republican party to Independence. I'll contribute to neither party, but vote for the candidate I feel best regarless of affiliation. That's what I recommend my Followers all do. We have got to get rid of partismship, as it is dividing this Country everyday even further.

Boehner sucks, but Pelosi is worse. I'll vote for neither when their time comes. And if you are dumb enough to re-elect Obama, then that is what you deserve!
