Political Exploits of Sensitive Issues
by Barry Fletcher
Race and religion roots the latest exploits of evil politics,
Fox news caught the Democrats flat-footed with the Shirley Sherrod tricks.
Arizona wants to take immigration into its own hands and fight against this nation,
And now claim Anchor babies are the new problems with immigration.
President Obama did not endorse a NY Islamic Cultural Center,
But stated instead, the freedom of religion law is the real winner.
I understand the rising fear of homegrown terrorists,
The underwear bomber, Fort Hood shooting and the close Times Square miss.
Obama’s approval ratings dropped to 41%, opposition pretending to get his birth place & religion misconstrued.
A church’s plan to burn copies of the Koran on Sept. 11 is emblematic of the country’s new mood.
The ambiguity about Islam is disconcerting to those who think we’re at war with Muslims … not wise!
It takes courage to live in a free country where the enemy can walk by you with hatred in his eyes.
Some worry that there is an Islamic plan to take over the U.S.A.
As they grow larger there’s a concern about the ideology, what they preach or say, and what they believe will be the day.
“The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam, Islam means peace”
W speaking at the Islamic Center in DC 9/17/2001, suggesting that our anger should cease.
“America counts millions of Muslims amongst our citizens who make incredibly valuable contributions.”
Bush goes on to say, Muslim Americans should be treated with respect as a solution.
27 Muslims died on 9/11 when al-Qaeda crashed planes into brick buildings turning them into sand.
Obama spoke about the rights of all citizens as he weighed in on the NY Islamic Center plan.
Beck’s “Restoring Honor” march on Washington can be seen as anti- civil rights,
And he had the nerve to accuse Obama of having a deep-seated hatred for whites.
Commemoration for the “Dream” speech started at Dunbar High where folks marched to the original sites.
We have the first elementary school named after Obama in Upper Marlboro MD, right next door.
A site that would bring joy to your eyes like he has before,
But what really fills the wells of my eyes causing tears to fall to the floor,
Is seeing the troops come home safely to their family and friends from the Iraq war.
