We are all amongst dogs? (A political piece written by Merle Rutledge to all groups and people)

 

Today, I had a very interesting class on the concept of generalization and overgeneralization.  How it applies to relationships, whether personal, intimate, or whatever has you, than there is a direct correlation among the concepts and with relationships.  Overgeneralization takes two samples and uses it to generalize a population.  Generalize is meant to use a sample from a population in order to determine the point of few or theory for a whole population. 

     It seems like men and women do a lot of overgeneralization and generalization in regards to people that they meet.  I would just say men have a generalize opinion about women, and vice versa, but maybe this is something that those that are looking for a serious relationship in the future may learn from.  See men and women normally have a point of view about another sex, background, or ethnic group, and base their experience or stereotype on a whole group of individuals.  It could mean going to an Asian store and your belief is that they are watching everything you do in order to make sure you are not stealing.  You feel an extra amount of anxiety when going into a store, and already have the shadow of being accused without actually committing a crime in such stores. 

     Later, your car breaks down on the road, and you are hoping for someone that is either your race, gender, or whatever have you to stop and give your assistance.  All those that you thought was going to assist have driven pass and has not even offer you a glimpse of help.  An Asian driving pass notices you stranded and turns around to help.  You have something simple as a flat tire, but this Asian decides to get dirty, take your tire off, put it back on, and send you on your way while others would not even bother to give you a drop of water in a heat wave.  Now do you go back to having the same stereotype about Asians, or do you make overgeneralization that all Asians are not bad, but can be helpful.  

      The neutral point that is made is not all Asians are not helpful or accuse you of stealing, because you met someone of like complexion and physical features that have shatter the glass on that stereotype.  I can say the same about black people and white people as well.  They are not all bad, but it is some that can make a whole group appear to be generalizing as the sample to be representative of a population. 

    As far as relationships, some women tend to think all men cheat, because those are the men that they have experience.  Another woman may have a different point of view about why men cheat, and that could be because of some mitigating factors.  The other woman whom a many may be cheating with may think it is simply justified that the man cheats because of the merits and facts that they know about a particular relationship.  Does the man that doesn’t cheat have to be guilty by association because they are a man, or is that our narrow form of thinking clouding our judgment? 

     There are members in the Tea Party and NAACP that are not racists and only argue on the fundamental principles of their organization, but they still decry racism within their own ranks.  We make this generalization and overgeneralization that all people because of their affiliation to a group are based off our stereotypes and interpretation.   Does it mean that those are similar race just like I am have not be assisted by the Tea Party or NAACP in similar views and goals.  We go to a church, but churchgoers do not always agree with everything that goes on in the church.  We go shopping for clothes, but we try not to get something that everyone is wearing, because we want to be different.  For example:  Does Christians help Muslims or (vice versa)?  It happens every day, but sometimes people do not go that far to ask people what religion or civic affiliation of someone participation.  You can be different, but you should not hate different, because embracing each other originality minus the hate, is being a real American.  We may not always agree with every American, but we should agree that being different and being accepted is the beauty of being American.  However, we should not be forced as a condition by any group or association to be oppress and lead on a “My way, is the only way,” as our anthem for equality.

     If we all spent more time getting to know one another, than some of the things we have said about each other, really shows the truth from the fakes.  Generalization compared to an Overgeneralization.  Do all women love men?  A course this is not true, but do we love those that truly show love for us.  It doesn’t happen all of the time.  This is the law about us all, and the rest is just a theory.

    My biggest argument to all groups, which care more about party than about its own people.  You spend more time overgeneralizing a group instead of getting to know and generalizing its population.  We scream theories from the top of our lungs, and is this our last full measure of support.  If so than a lot of people, because, “corporations are people to Mitt Romney once said”, than people should generalize themselves, because they clearly can’t get it right about someone else that they clearly did not take the time to get to know.  

     In conclusion, My best comparison for political party or affiliation is correlated to horoscopes and fortune tellers.  The generalization of us all is not to believe everything anyone says about our future, but our future should be determine by our individual and ability to conquer obstacles that one by one stand in our way.   Hopefully the generalization of one self by achievement is Success.

A Call to Washington, D.C – The March to bring Justice back to Washington

A Call to Washington – The March 2012 March of Epic Proportions

 

They try to tell us racism no longer exists in America.  They try to tell us that everyone should be treated equal and fairly.  They try to tell us that the road to prosperity is following their lead.  Just like John McCain said in a recent speech “We know better” and “I know better.”  You are right John McCain.  I do know better.  This isn’t just to focus on you, but to focus on the racism that is present in America and has risen sharply in any poll that can be done in America.  There are numerous problems in America, and it isn’t all Americans (especially the upper class and the rich) taking the brunt of policy and political posturing.  It is the people that work hard every day that are losing their jobs every day, and being told that not only will they not find employment anytime soon, but the employers are carrying a policy that says do not hire the unemployed.  The systematic dismantling and oppression of its own people for political gain is unacceptable.

 

I am charging Republican and Tea Party public officials with treason.  Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.  This sounds just like John Boehner and the Republican establishment.  This party has given aid and comfort to a radical group that is trying to overthrow the government, hates the government, and rather rage economic war on its own people.  This is the biggest case of treason that is going unpunished and without prosecution.  They have pushed as public policy for cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Pell Grants.

 

My question is why college students are quiet about this, or is it the fact that they do not recognize being brainwashed by political and inherited ideology that party over your own people is their religion.  I charge the Republican Party with Fraud and violating its own citizens Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. They ran on a job creating platform, and have yet to introduce or even work on any job creating bills.  However, they have worked on killing unions, calling people barbarians and tar babies, killing a woman right to choose, mandating how people bedroom behaviors should be, and maintaining that their way is the only way, even if it means the downfall of everyone.

 

Failure to raise the debt ceiling applies to us all, and not just to the few.  Acourse those with riches, or wealth feel that the problem will only address them in a very minor way, but others have to suffer with losing their households, increase costs in interest on loans and credit cards, and even losing entitlement programs because they are being drained of the funds, that are used to make payments to the people that need it the most, for those that will probably never have to even consider such options.  Michelle Bachman and many Republicans that feel that the debt ceiling should not be raised has already gotten their entitlements from the government and are guaranteed it by law plus pension, but they can also pass a law which makes that guarantee null and void, only if they are serious about being part of the solution and not the problem.

Its too many crying to this day that shouldn’t have to shed a tear.  They sacrifice their whole life making the top 2 percent of rich people in America continue to flood their back accounts with cash while bleeding the life out of its own foundation.  Ms. Bachmann, this is slavery, because even during the time of slavery in America.  Your party spends more time adding and collecting its pensions and health care, but want to take it away from others.  You have yet to pass one single piece of legislation but been getting paid almost 200,000 a year to do nothing but make statements of negative through a microphone.

“My example that I have just given is very similiar to the actions of the barbarians that look just like you.”  Do not ever call anyone a barbarian unless you ready to take the same insult back in your direction as your actions have met the definition of a barbarian thats ungrateful and spoiled.  Michelle Bachmann, you will be ok, if the debt ceiling was not raised.  It is obvious that you made that ok with getting everything out the government that help facilitate the decline in the economy.  How about you do the right thing and return those funds back to the same government in which you condemn and than clean your hands of the funds that you have not so proudly taken.  It is only now, for political gain, and also for lining up your pockets, to replace Sarah Palin as one of the top money making Republicans out there, and not be serious about being the best Presidential candidate.   You saw how much she made during a losing presidential run, so why not see how much you can gain by erradicating the other bad scent that comes from your Tea Party direction.  It is a testament of your greed and not of your will to see America become better, because you hoped the economy became worse, for the sole purpose of winning the United States of America presidency.  You would sacrifice the people that you are suppose to protect and let them get kicked out their homes and lose all their possessions that took them a lifetime to accomplish, all for the sake of having more power, more money, and more wealth.

 

The reason why the March is so important!

 

It’s time for us to make that trip back to Washington.  People from all walks of life that are facing the consequences of political party’s actions are the real heroes and not the corporations.  I’m not here for any corporation.  I’m not here for any party.  I’m here to do what is right for the people of the United States of America.  It is time for all those that claim to be the realest, the right, and the left, to have an open dialogue on how it is to be an American now.

 

Our Constitution states, “We the People  of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”  Did America forget this? Did our public officials forget this? Corporations are not people in regards to the United States Constitution, but obviously even the U.S Supreme Court has establish that now this is subject to change with their conservative stance based on political affiliation and not with justice for all being their guiding light.  We the people should stop letting the b.s in Washington, D.C slide.  Our jails are being filled with nonviolent offenders and the only reason for their incarceration is the inability to pay.

 

The employer inability and willingness, not to hire these individuals because they are unemployed, so they can have the ability to pay is unacceptable.  They want to take away our teachers ability to educate effectively, by trying to have them do more with less, while filling the accounts of private educators and institutions. No government funds should go to private institutions that does not want or both to accept the public opinion and initiatives, but want to accept the tax payer’s funds.  Republicans have even tried to take the ability away from the fire d and police department to protect its own people.  Requiring mandatory cuts and this will further corruption and disruption instead of crime fighting and protecting the people from it.

 

I’m asking America to come back to America.  I’m asking America to go to Washington, D.C.  I’m asking for all the help to bring this event together and make a noise so loud that even the White House and Congress can hear it from inside its walls.  This isn’t right and it’s time for reform now, it’s time for change now, it’s time to go back to basics in which it was cool to be independent, because we shouldn’t depend on government, but government should depend on us.  If we wait too long, to bring America back into Washington, D.C, than Donald Trump will have it right that holding the line is real policy by gambling the people for the pockets of the rich.  The Republicans and Tea Party can afford to wait it out, but can you?  This is why the budget is not balance.  They have no accountability.  They even tried to conspire to take away voting rights in order to keep the seeds of their criminal and civil violations covered up.  This is the indictment on political party, and this is being brought before the America grand jury made up of the people.

 

It’s time for a March in which the people of the United States of America bring the conversation to Washington.  I’m looking for volunteers, church groups, and political parties, unions, wrongfully convicted citizens, liberal groups, Senior Citizens, Latinos, African Americans, Caucasians, any and all races and backgrounds, any and all religious groups, Social Security recipients, Republicans, Independents, Politicians and even the Tea Party.  I want you all there to have a discussion, protect, and to assemble peacefully, all out in the open, front and center, and in Washington.  It is time for D.C to hear the American People.  I’m looking for group leaders, as well as individuals, to tell America and the World, your story.  Michelle Bachmann always says the Tea Party represents the people, and the Tea Party only represents the Tea Party.  We need to see if it is true and not just a naked assertion further devoid from the truth.

 

I’m sorry Michelle Bachmann, but your life was funded and supported by the government and you are the picture of the spoil child that just got a cookie, and still looking for a glass of milk.  I’m here to place your antics right at your feet, and ask, “When are you going to visit the America that needs the help the most?”  It seems like you have no problem with tax payer funds making frequent visits to your bank account. When will I see you in a Black, Latino, or any other ethnic or with a different background community?  Anyone feels comfortable around their friends, but it is those that are not friends that really test the measure of your resolve and sincerity.

 

It’s time for A Call to Washington, and instead of just being on the phone, it’s time to be right in their face.  The switchboards and servers shouldn’t be the only thing going down.  It is time to make your presence felt.  It’s time to make a Call to Washington, to bring America back.  I’m going to need all the help in America to get this done.  I know it’s the time now to make it happen.  Let’s make it happen.

 

It is time for all of us to understand each other and meet our new neighbors from all walks of life and backgrounds.  “It’s America moment now.”  It is time to bring charges to Washington, D.C., and prosecute it out in the open and directly in public.  It is only fair to have a trial by a jury of your own peers.  Well Washington, it’s time for that trial to happen!  It is time for justice in any shape or form, and by any means necessary!

 

This would be my closing argument for all those that continue not to pay attention to the America that is being build right around them, and working its way right on to your street and inside of your home.  When those entitlement programs get shut down.  The tendency is to look for friends, family, and neighbors to help you in trying to just live by bare means and necessities.  Who are you going to go to, when the government says you can no longer go to them?  You have worked all of your life paying your taxes, having money taken out of your check for medicare and social security, and now notice that those payments are no longer going to be coming.  You can no longer work, because you are either on disability or have a condition so debilitating that you can no longer work.  Your family, friends, and neighbors are struggling as well, and can not afford to give you anything to help you our in your situation, because they have situations of their own.   See the top 2 percent does not have this problem being faced, but the middle and lower class, will have this problem right in their front doors.  The lower and middle class needs to beware that if you are already struggling to meet ends meat to this day, than be ready for those that you thought was taken care of, to start asking you to help meet their financial crisis.  They may be your parents, sons, daughters, or immediate affiliation of due care, but you may have to let them move in.  Once again privacy is compromised.  Financially you are compromised.  You do not have the ability to take care of your loved ones as well as they would have been able to be taken care of at a proper medical facility.  This is the future and all Americans need to pay attention.  The rich can afford these services, but can you.  If you think this is a joke, than ask any Congressmen or public official, if I’m telling you a lie.  Some of them already are trying to prepare now for such a future.  They have a head start, but do you.  So its time to act now, or eventually this article may be too late for you.  Hopefully America wakes up and take a stand for those that have taken a stand over and over for you as you was growing up.  They may not be able to walk and be on the path to helping themselves, but it is time for us in America to step up in their place, so that we do our part, because to volunteer is revolution, but being forced is slavery.
