New Word 4 New Idea- OBAMITES

Alright imma talk to my people on this one…..Now when I speak of “my people”, I’m not referring to any one color, culture or creed, but the philosophies that unite US. Really I shouldn’t say “my people”, I should say my OBAMITES, that cuts right to the point. Now I say that “Obamites”, looking at the idea the name represents and not to anyone person in particular, even the President, whom I admire.
Okay lets get to the point, WE NEED TO WAKE THE FUCK UP...for any shy newcomers get used to it….focus on the message. Now notice I said WE, cause I was right there where you are now, when I noticed what was going on….Now I’m gonna get you to where I am:
WE thought the war was getting Obama elected…not at all…that was definitely a battle though. Congratulations by the way….BUT IT AINT OVER YA’LL, WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED AND INTO THE WAR…..CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN!!!
We got real relaxed as if the whole time we were voting, we were voting for hIM because of hIS color or hIS charisma or hIS religion….NO it was much deeper than that, it was that he seemed to voice and understand some of the deepest sentiments and philosophies that we hold in US and wish others could learn and emulate. We understand that there is much sorrow and pain in the world, hard times and unfair times…..but we also still understand that we should still move towards oneness and prosperity…..they should both happen but we should do it together, there should be the balance of both in a community. Now every nation has a starting point and although some nations have some points of life a bit better than we USA do, there is no one nation that has a higher average than our USA….For us to be as young as we are compared to the oldies like France, Spain, China….we’re not doing too bad….but don’t start feeling your American bravado too soon, because we are supposed to be this good, don’t forget we and our civilization are a by-product of great minds that generated and evolved from those who were banished or fled from Europe. Put it this way the other nations started at ground zero, we started at the 18th floor….we should be on the 32nd when the others are still between the 25th and 28th. We also keep this legacy alive and well by opening up our citizenship to so many cultures and minds, our diversity in culture, skin color, environment and therefore thought is why our greatness is sustained.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH LIVING UP TO YOUR POTENTIAL….as a young boy, a bit older than where my sun son is now, I had a teacher who on my report card full of A’s, would write at the bottom left corner but big enough to seen by me, “not yet reaching his potential”….I would scratch my head and search inside it for how in the world I’m supposed to outdo all AAAAAAAA’s…..it took many years and I finally put it to rest, or at least I thought I did…till about a few years ago my heart felt something and in meditation I realized I had reached the point of ‘standing on the trail of my potential’….Now don’t start asking what event it was that led to my eye opening experience; I’m not answering that. The point is this, it should and it does feel good to be on the verge of your potential let alone achieving it.
So yes we got him elected, yeaaaaa…we’ve earned the Right to begin the trail of our potential as a nation….FOCUS NOW!!! THE JOB IS JUST GETTING STARTED… Now we got to put those ideas and philosophies into practice….the practice is known by a different ‘P’ word…POLICY. We need to back the actions of the man we’ve decided to lead the march for the policies we want to enact. We don’t decide who’s gonna be the captain of our football team and then sit on the bench when he runs onto the field….that would be the expectations of a dictator-run nation not a proud democratic nation that serves to represent and speak for the collective free voice of the people which embody its land mass…..WE MUST RUN OUT WITH OUR CAPTAIN, because in a democracy WE ARE ALL LEADERS.
Now the 1st of these POLICIES (new practices that we want to see for ourselves), has been introduced to the American public, a policy that’s important for 2 reasons: 1) it shows we were right about President Barack Obama, he will present policies that feed directly to the philosophies we hold dear and 2) it serves as our first fight. Fight against who you ask, the powers that be, that maintain the status quo as the moving direction of our country because at the top they benefit from that….its predictable for them, it’s worked so well in ensuring their wealth and future generations comfort….why fuck with it when it’s not broken for them. We’re fighting against the Conservative that believes we should all act the same think the same do the same practices actions and religions. See they believe if you believe in the maker (GOD) and be “good” everything should work out for you and you wouldn’t need government help…they however do believe government should push their beliefs on everyone so we as a nation can get to the point they want sooner…..see how it works, it’s all a fight of ideas and philosophies. That’s why we fought so hard to put a leader that represents US up there, because once there “they”, whose ever group it is, can push change and a new direction for the nation or “they” can keep it just the same. Now for the first time in recent past and for too long based on some of the years endured under the leadership, we now have a leader that actually represents the majority of thoughts and ideas and philosophies that are carried by WE THE PEOPLE that embody this land mass called The United States of America….we can’t just sit back now when we should just be getting started.
The UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE idea (which is all it is now, an ‘idea’ to build on) deserves more of the attention of the Obamites. This is a policy idea that is finally addressing the greatest basic tenant of Our constitution; that we create policies, laws and legislature “in order to form a more perfect Union…..insure domestic Tranquility,……promote the GENERAL WELFARE….to Ourselves.....”. I’m very sure anyone can see how establishing the possibility of good health for ALL US citizens feeds directly to the reasons we formed a United State in the first place. It’s a GREAT idea that any society seeking to move stronger into the future should embrace and pursue. Here is an idea that will have US take care of each other through health, here’s an idea that would lead US to being healthier through prevention and attention…diseases will be cured sooner for ALL….infections will be detected sooner for ALL and therefore less of US get sick….I’ll put it this way, a society (like a chain) is only as strong as its weakest link, this policy will directly go towards strengthening one of our society’s weaknesses and therefore strengthen our nation as a whole and therefore each and every one of US. The trickle down “good” effect is enormous. One scenario: the demand and need for the health care providers would lead (with proper government guidance-which we have and can produce) to more of our children deciding on those fields, more thinkers amongst US is how we grow, that’s how we someday make driving on air structured highways free of all accidents or how to figure out how to make Mars livable and Space travel a ticket holding tourist adventure. Don’t get lost in the particulars but pay attention to the greater idea…GROWTH. Now there are those Conservatives, I’ll call them, you can call them Republicans (but they’re not all) who don’t support the idea of universal health care, because they make their money by being on top (for instance, all major shareholders in any insurance corporation) or because they believe their money (taxes) shouldn’t be taken and used to help their fellow citizens. Both of these are deep seeded philosophies just as mine are and they require long talks and debates to ever make a sound thinking mind change views; so I won’t attempt to try in this one writing. I will state this, to those who are concerned that their taxes will be used for care of their fellow citizen, the policy promises to be deficit neutral, that means no new taxes will be added to what’s currently extracted, that should provide some comfort (if you detect a smirk with that line, that’s because there is one)…for those who like the status quo because it keeps them paid and at the top----go fuck yourself (I say that with an even bigger smirk).
I’m not going to spend too much more time speaking of the “good” details of the policy nor will I try to dispel every misunderstanding, I will say this though- what’s happening is exactly as it should happen in a more civilized union, save one difference….the minority is doing their job, whether they got behind an idea because they were misguided (intentionally) or if they got at that position because of their own true belief; they’re doing their duty as citizens, they’re being heard…..the only issue with the current scenario as I see it is that WE aren’t showing up, we aren’t speaking and therefore WE aren’t being heard…..the unnaturalness of this stems from the fact that WE ARE THE MAJORITY. There are many many many many more of US, those that choose to progress together as 1, because to do anything else would eventually lead to dissent and anarchy, the destruction of what could have been the GREATEST NATION. We must go to these town halls in full force; We must get up and knock on doors once again. We must hand out flyers at community areas, we must get organized. In other words, WE MUST MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD….If WE muster up again and if WE do the same for the issues and policies to come, WE will win WE will win and WE will show that WE didn’t vote for him because of his color or his charisma or his religion but because through him representing US, WE will change the direction of this nation and once again steer it in a path that puts US back on our trail of realizing a GREAT POTENTIAL.
