Back in the Mountains

The Grandparent wagon lumbered its way back to Evergreen. Many hours of listening to "The Help", on the Itouch. Made the trip shorter. It is an Amazing story about racism in the sixties in the south. Would do all good to remember the racial mess this country has. Sadly our current situation with Fox News and it's subtle racism is sad. Republicans promoting the Tea Party. No one wants to say it in the open, but many on the right just cannot come to grips with a black president. The determination to destroy Obama is the main agenda for the Republicans. They could not stand the idea of a successful black president, it would rattle their whole belief system. They will never admit it, so they have to change the story to socialism. Total nonsense. The Republicans could have taken a generous approach and helped Obama. What a contribution to the country the Republicans could have made. They could have shown Americans a black man can succeed, and in the process done a lot to suppress racism. Instead the right has decided to subtly promote racism by signing on to the agenda of Rush, Glenn, and Fox. As a grandparent is would be so nice to leave our children a better world, instead these people want to maintain the things that have made life difficult for so many.
