House democrats revamp antiwar policy. Gee, wasn’t it only a couple of weeks ago they committed treason against the United States? What do they hope to accomplish with this new policy? A cover up? More than likely.

If you don’t think we’re in a war or shouldn’t be in a war, take a look at this: http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070226/NEWS03/70226043  and this: http://bearcreekledger.com/2007/02/27/thats-it-i-guessmuslim-cabbies-in-twin-cities-refuse-fares/ and the government supports this sort of discrimination while telling us, people who have ancestors going back many generations that if we protest these inequities, we’re racist. It ain’t got nothing to do with racism. It’s preservation of life and limb at this point folks.

When does it end? Well… I suppose we could all just lay down and die and save them the trouble or we can keep retreating until there is nowhere left to go.

It will end only when we’re all dead or somebody forces these government officials so out of touch with their constituents to live as we live for awhile. No money, no buffers, and in the same neighborhoods where we are forced to deal kindly with people who would as soon cut our hearts out than look at us and who will not deal honorably with us.

A few years ago my husband and I were in a restaurant. A family of Iraqi immigrants were seated at a table near us. They had children there. While the little girl sat quietly and well behaved, the son was allowed to run amuck. He hit our chairs, threw food on our table, yelled and screamed as he ran around our table. First we requested that the father curb his son’s “enthusiasm” and he informed us he didn’t have to because we were not “entitled” and entered into a short diatribe about being Muslim. Gee, all we wanted was for the kid to quit bothering us so we could have our meal in peace. After we couldn’t take it anymore we complained to management and were asked to leave. Fear of being accused of being discriminatory only reinenforces these attitudes and behaviors.

This was a few years ago and look where we are today, still cowtowing because we’re afraid of a stupid little word. We’re all discriminatory all the time. We make judgments based on our values, lifestyles, needs, and wants, among other things. It’s how we choose our friends and life mates. So why are we so afraid of the word?
