I wonder at how difficult my parents would have with what we are faced with today. And my grandparents would just not believe it. My grands were AFRAID of "colored" folk.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if I should just blog on this instead. Nah.. be too political and I don't like to talk politics on my blog. But maybe I will anyway, cause I do have a couple of interesting annecdotes to tell.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291184318320380262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8035093424540514745.post-58283985834746011362008-10-18T06:35:00.000-05:002008-10-18T06:35:00.000-05:00Yeah really!

As in, "That boy's a walkin' funny 'casue he's got the Gault." or "WooWeee I'm Gaulted so bad my nads feel like they are a-fire!"<BR/><BR/>Lisa, one of the many reasons I love you so much is because of the way you drop smart nuggets all over my blog. Like Jim Crow laws. How many people know that back int he 1920s President Jim Hoover told all the poor people they didn't need to starve when they could always eat crow. This seemed to be take too seriously by Congress who then passed a law that all crow served for food consumption had to be named Jim, after the President. It was kind of their way of embarrassing him.<BR/><BR/>In the next election, noted Socialist Frankie Roosevelt, promised a Chicken in every pot. The American people, sick from eating carrion voted for the New Deal and elected Roosevelt every year til the day he died. <BR/><BR/>I am always happy to get a chance to show off my exhaustive knowledge of historical facts. Thank you.Crishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11750320208949534017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8035093424540514745.post-25249666448657687872008-10-18T03:05:00.000-05:002008-10-18T03:05:00.000-05:00Of course some of it is generational.

Especially those of us raised by parents who came up during Jim Crow days.<BR/><BR/>What I think what people REALLY fear is the socialism that Obama represents. That he wants to "share the wealth".. to me that means he wants to take away what I have rightfully earned and give it to someone else. Good Grief. Has No one read Ayn Rand. Atlas Shrugged. <BR/><BR/>Maybe I should start a trend of saying "Who is John Gault". Sad thing is too many people would not understand.<BR/><BR/>We already have too much of an entitlement culture. I fear that it will only get worse in the next few years.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291184318320380262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8035093424540514745.post-91474058421069077662008-10-15T23:22:00.000-05:002008-10-15T23:22:00.000-05:00Thank you.
