Why I am Not Voting.....

Earl Brown · Wednesday, October 17th 2012 at 5:48PM · 670 views

1. The promises made by Mr. Obama Administration were not kept. 2. The Black electoral, do not vote, where it really counts.... ex. City, County, and State elections.
3. The apathatic voting behavior of Black In America. Is this the pattern of voting(role model )we wish to leave for future generations. VOTE ONLY IF THE CANDIATE IS BLACK. Thank you Mr. President, for this valuable moment in Black history.

Hello Stupid Earl,

Your reasons for not voting are all the more causes why Black Americans must become a sovereign people.

Your stupid-ass believes that the Black Americans vote only because the candidate is Black. Well, hell having a country of our own we wouldn�t have that problem since both candidates in our country will be Black.

So, don�t you see that Black America�s sovereignty is the only permanent and ideal solution?

My own guess is that I believe that you are a White person Mr. Brown.

Actually Earl, i am in agreement with your writing of; "this the pattern of voting(role model )we wish to leave for future generations."

i; though, do not or ever have believed that there is a 'black/white' American Clanism or equality of citizen, before OUR President...........

my understanding of slaverAMericana 1492-1864 is that there has always-- though; been a struggle of Monotheism vs paganChristianity euroStyle

the documents of the American 'founding fathers' THOUGH, stated that there should be no Religion in the IDEALS of the Constitution

those 'founding fathers' knew that christianity had been manipulated by The English Monarcy to produce a pharonicConcept -----that the Royals were the descendants of the Creator AND should always RULE, and govern at theirRoyal Will.

that concept, made me Remember, the paganConcept of the African Chaka Zulu

---when he first met the Kings' Representatives-----the Kings' Representatives told chaka, that they represent themselves and are free to do and live their OWN lives goverened by the King, and the latinJesus on the cross

-------chaka asked them, "does this King, send you to war?-- and in War, do men/women die?"

they answered yes----so chaka reiterated his paganBelief, "then the King of England; chakas' subject in England, control the lives of the men/women under their goverence, AND that this latinJesus allowed subjects to kill him? ---- to the African chaka, this europeanBelief was Madness........

so the American 'founding fathers'Washing/jefferson/adams, etc..... did NOT want a pagan englishMonarch from latinJesus Governing them!

Abraham Lincoln, the Great Republican then DROPPED the olde slaver Part of Americana History.

President Baraaka Hussein Obama, the Greatest usa President EVER -----

-----whom i now Conclude is the SUPERIOR and GIANT citizen Interpreter of the Constitution of the United States of AMerica ---- as compared to ALL the oldeAmerican 'Founding Fathers'----washington,jefferson etc.

As a Muslim(sweetIrma) brought it up in this blog.......i Voted for him for the Greatest Founding Father --- America Ever produced----AND i love his Name, his Fathers Land and Monotheistic Belief............

the ONLY promise that i remember or care about from President Baraaka Hussein Obama is:

"you are the CHANGE you have been waiting for" --- and that is still valid.........

that CHANGE --- AWAY from Racialistic Racism, colorWorship and other forms of unEducated belief ----- GIVES, myVOTE to President Baraaka Hussein Obama

in my opinion, a vote, or nonVote away from President Baraaaka Hussein Obama is a vote toward the OLDE time 'childish' behavior preAmerican FOUNDING FATHER Obama.......The Greatest American Commander in Chief..........

Earl,

I was about to put this on your prior blog, but here you have sharpened the issue.

My Presidential voting record, for the Record:

1976: Gerald Ford
1980: Ronald Reagan
1984: Ronald Reagan
1988: George Sr. (I'm ashamed to say.)
1992: Abstained
1996: Bill Clinton AND California Prop 215
2000: Abstained
2004: Abstained
2008: Abstained
2012: ?

So I definitely understand ABSTENTION.

However, this election I will not abstain, but my two choices this time are Gary Johnson and Barak Obama. Mitt Romney is out of the running, so far as I'm concerned.

More important, I can only vote my conscience. But the problem is, what is my conscience?

I am a recipient of Social Security Disability and Medicare. I may not have survived, maybe will not survive, without these programs. But is my obligation to myself only? What about my children and my grandchildren? Further, what about my Country, Freedom and Justice for ALL?

Gary Johnson may have some funny ideas. Abolish the IRS? Cut Social Security and Medicare? Well he can't do these things on his own can he? He can veto, and congress can override. A system of checks and balances. Further, he has not had a chance to speak to his alternatives in the GREAT DEBATE BETWEEN ROMNEY AND OBAMA!!!

Further, there are the considerations as put by Jesse Ventura. He thinks that all Politicians, including without limitation, Presidential Politicians, should wear Nascar style suits, with all the appropriate patches showing their sponsors.

Further, and most probably FOREMOST, we need to break the stranglehold of this two-party system.

I will vote for Johnson or Obama, AS MY CONSCIENCE DICTATES. First consideration to my children and grandchildren, and ALL present and future generations of AMERICANS. Last to MYSELF.
