For those questioning my: Catholicism, Independent political
affiliation, support of President Obama, aghast against continued Republican
oppressions of Constitutional Rights, and why I am so politically opinionated
(it might hurt my publishing and my life etc.,) read on.
To tiptoe through tulips about what makes life great in this
United States and why so many want to live here - democracy and human rights - is
not why I do FITS etc., (social media).
I am who I am and to me POLITICS matters. I do not “diss”
others because I’m “out-there” and they are not. In my childhood I saw: people’s
rights violated; the absence of human rights for all other than for those that
had the race card, money, power and prestige; a street full of students, in the
middle of the night, killed for protesting. Prayed for the courageous families
of friends incarcerated for opposing oppression, grandparents that cared for
others raised me and I certainly don’t want to die holding a “feel-good” or
“life is great with head under sand” sign.
Still a Catholic raised a Catholic, but also a Jew as some
of my ancestors were, and for that matter a multi-racial person. I am a
registered Independent because I am willing to listen to truth, values and
principles, but will not vote for personalities, bigotry, condescension and
suppression. Politically
opinionated because politics has the power to do and undo. Learned from those
that did right, and those that didn’t, and decided that right is worth
trumpeting about.
If I never am published because of my “runeth at the mouth”
oh well, I will not die as a best seller without a cause.
