Common Sense - 09-16-09

Ok, today I want to talk about a few things I've heard recently. It deals with Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst to the President.
First let me say I think how he responded may not have been the best option at the time, but at least he spoke his mind. Don't we have freedom of speak in the US? If at the time he honestly thought Obama was lieing, then he had every right to say so. But what has happened since then? Now he's a racist.
I have no problem with a black man running this country, but already the problems are starting. As soon as you disagree with him, you are a racist. Why is this? I mean throughout history, while we had white presidents, you could speak your mind and not have to worry about being called a racist. Should common sense tell you that we will do the same thing with a black president?
Now as you may have noticed I've said "black" everytime. I don't agree with the whole political correctness of "African-American", or "Anything-American" for that matter. If you are living here, you are an AMERICAN. If you want to put another country in front of it, then move to that country, because you are saying that one is better. I have no problems with people wanting to express their haritage, but still call yourself an American, and only and american.
I know after I post this blog, and some people read it, I'll be called a racist myself. Well if you want to think that about me, then you don't know me. I could care less what race you are, or what your background is. I only care about how you treat me, and how you treat our country. So use your common sense and think about what you say before you start calling me names.
