The title is a bit of a paradox, I know. The fact is sometimes what I write and what I believe/feel/my convictions aren't always reflected in my words. Does this mean I'm lying? Not at all.

I am constantly confronted with the question of my political affiliations because of what I write on my blog. "Are you a Democrat or a Republican? Independent? What are you?" As you will notice I have never (and will never) say what my political affiliation is.

People have assumed I'm a Democrat because I'm black *sucking teeth*, my election post, my MLK to Obama post, and other posts I've made. And NOW I've received a very lovely *insert sarcasm* email that I am a racist because of my Dear Mr. Chris Matthews post. The email said among other things that I must seriously be blinded by ignorant black Democratic ideology et cetera, et cetera... Seriously, I laughed when I read this. What a pretentious donkey to say such a thing!

First of all, since when were all black people Democrats? Secondly, someone please tell me what did I say in my post that pointed to an alliance to a political party?

I deliberately avoid answering the question about party allegiance because I don't have any and political parties mean absolutely nothing to me. Issues, causes, my family, my values & beliefs, my country, my freedom, my liberties, my RIGHTS are what are important to me. I vote base on the candidate who I feel has a concern for the issues that affect me personally and that includes everything listed above.

If there is anything I can say drives me more than the list mentioned above, it's my moral absolutes, principles and faith.

I respect whomever is in the White House - Republican, Democrat, Independent, Conservative, Liberal or otherwise. I wish more people had respect for the leadership of this country. I wish more people would shut their mouths and DO freakin something when they don't like the state of the country. I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the amount of times I hear people complaining about the government and then when asked if they've voted, they'll mumble no! Are you freaking kidding me? WTFoolishness!

If you are an American citizen with full voting rights you must be ashamed of yourself if you don't vote. That's a travesty and a whole lot of tom-foolery in my book. Trust me when I say I utilize my FULL voting powers and that starts with local elections all the way up to the big papadaddy Presidencial election. Unfortunately, so many people fail to understand the importance of local elections. Local candidates running for city, county and state positions are ultimately going to be the choices we have for larger political seats down the road. In a way local elections are more important because this is where the real weeding out and placement of people who should represent our states and then our country begin.

So, Dear Anonymous Writer, you know not what you speak. I am not my words and yet I stand by everything that I've written.
