Get out and vote - a message from Bestbraindrain.com!

Tomorrow is the final day for everyone to get out and vote.  If you haven't already taken advantage of the early voting process available in many states then please get out and vote.  If you are unhappy with the current president (George W. Bush) and members of congress (House of Representatives and the Senate) then please make your choice and vote.  If you do not vote than you have no input on the path of our country and world.

Now that I have stated that I would like to bring to light some problems with the voting process.  Due to the unprecedented turn out in many states, lines are long - really long - like 5 hours long and longer.  If you see someone elderly, disabled, etc... in line in front of you (and you are not elderly, disabled, etc...) then please let them get ahead in the line.  This is just being courteous and will help them get through the line and vote quicker.

Another problem that the Reverend Al Sharpton brought to light on his radio show recently is that there have been some problems with voting machines and software gliches where if one votes for Barack Obama and Joe Biden, it comes out as they voted for John McCain and Sarah Palin.  He calls this white Republican trickery.  But he only has 2 or 3 callers that report this isssue with no evidence whatsoever to back it up (sounds like the Duke lacrosse scandal - no evidence to back up his wild claims yet again).  Yet, he conveniently tries to dodge any mention of ACORN and how they cheated the system to ensure that Barack beat Hillary Clinton for the Democratic party nomination.  I wonder with Al Sharpton if he will ever get beyond or graduate from these racial issues.  The rest of the world has gotten beond it, but he just keeps bringing it back up or revisiting it again.

Actually blacks are not the most statistically underrepresented minority in America and elsewhere.  Currently it is the American Indians that are.  And it's not even close in the slightest bit.  If the reverend Al Sharpton is so pro minorities then where is he for campaigning the plight of the American Indians and their various tribes of which in history have actually been treated worse than slavery.  We took their homelands, banished them, ridiculed them, raped them,  made slaves of them, killed them as we pleased and much, much more. 

This is not to lighten what happened during slavery - that is also very bad.  But the difference here is that Rev. Al Sharpton is standing up for a minority that is really not the minority anymore, but the largest group of non white or caucasion Americans.  Smaller then the African American or black race are hundreds of others that get lost in the mix.  Just because your skin is black or brown does not mean you are the only minority.  There really are people of red, yeelow and other color skins too. 

There are also white skinned minorities also.  Look at the Scotish and Irish Americans that were used as dirt cheap labor (akin to slavery) to build the first railroads.  We used them like slaves and subjected them to conditions worse than many slaves received (many were indentured servents which is basically a slave for an extended period of time and were sold back and forth just like slaves) and where is the Rev. Al Sharpton for protecting their rights and such?

I will only listen to Rev. Al Sharpton when he learns to be truthful, stops promoting hatred and stops misrepresenting the facts and circumstances to further his cause (like Tawana Brawley)- and when he apologizes for and admits his many, many mistakes (he has admitted some like when he put down Mitt Romney and Mormons in a case very similar to Don Imus - why wasn't Al Sharpton removed from the air waves and ostracized like Don Imus was?  Reverend Al Sharpton is a bigot - clear and simple.  Many black leaders do not wish to even associate with Al Sharpton as they and the black or African American community has, for the most part, gotten past the race issue as it has become quite integrated into society as a whole.  If he really wants to be for the underpriviledged and such then there are many other minorities that are far more underrepresented than the black community. 

The black community has made great strides in integrating itself into the mainstream - The only apparent purpose Al Sharpton currently serves is to bring it back down and remind it of the 1950's.  Blacks have left the 1950's behind in a cloud of dust.  More black people are taking positions of top management, high political positions and more than ever.  I think it is time that Al Sharpton, just like everyone else, got off his lazy duff and got a real job and found a way to contribute to the black race and America and the world for that matter in a more positive way (besides, maybe then he would figure out how to properly report and pay his correct income taxes).

According to the polls we may have our first ever black president, Barack Obama.  My point here is this - get out and vote, but make an educated vote.  Don't base your vote solely on race.  Base it on the facts and what you believe in.  If Obama and Biden best convey the message and ideals that you agree with then by all means vote for them.  If McCain and Palin do then vote for them.  It shouldn't be about voting for the first black man or the first female V.P.  It shouldn't be about race or sex.  Instead think about other things that are important to you. 

Roe versus Wade and other important decisions could be changed here and so could many things.  Your future will depend on whom is made president and whom wins or keeps control of congress.  Regardless if you are Pro democrat or Republican, get out and vote.
