Is Barack Obama Just Another Jimmy Carter?

__________________________

"There are two types of folks living today.
One that remembers the Carter era and
the other is about to learn about it.
God, please help us all."
Dr. Anne Wortham
__________________________

This is the truth and honesty and profound wisdom of a true patriot of this country, Anne Wortham. She speaks out, not counting the cost and demanding to be heard; insisting on saying what is on her mind. This is pretty rich stuff.

Anne Wortham is a scholar and a very effective writer. I was impressed with her success in her unswerving determination to warn the nation she loves about President Barack Obama's future plans for the United States of America. It makes me more determined to be a light in the days of social upheaval. The article written below by Anne Wortham is very important reading. I wish all Americans would read it.

With the transformation of the nation I love into a land of limits where what we can say, what we can do, what we can believe, what doctor we can see and how long we can live will be taken out of our hands and placed into the hands of CLASSIFIED. Celebrate an American who is willing to tell the truth about what Barack Obama intends to do with the nation he has now broken with a tide of red ink that is far beyond overflowing and which can never be wiped away. The nation that was once the bastion of faith, hope and liberty is now debating over gay marriage, government control of our lives and our deaths, and trying to tell us how to heat our homes. Welcome to the Second Republic.

ANNE WORTHAM – American Educator

Anne Wortham is Associate Professor of Sociology at Illinois State University and continuing Visiting Scholar at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. She is a member of the American Sociological Association and the American Philosophical Association.


She has been a John M. Olin Foundation Faculty Fellow, and honored as a Distinguished Alumni of the Year by the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education.
In fall 1988 she was one of a select group of intellectuals who were featured in Bill Moyer’s television series, "A World of Ideas." The transcript of her conversation with Moyers has been published in his book, “A World of Ideas”.



Dr. Wortham is author of "The Other Side of Racism: A Philosophical Study of Black Race Consciousness" which analyzes how race consciousness is transformed into political strategies and policy issues. She has published numerous articles on the implications of individual rights for civil rights policy, and is currently writing a book on theories of social and cultural marginality.


Recently, she has published articles on the significance of multiculturalism and Afrocentricism in education, the politics of victimization and the social and political impact of political correctness. Shortly after an interview in 2004, she was awarded tenure. This short article by her is something to absorb.



Fellow Americans,

Please know: I am Black; I grew up in the segregated South. I did not vote for Barack Obama; I wrote in Ron Paul's name as my choice for president. Most importantly, I am not race conscious. I do not require a Black president to know that I am a person of worth, and that life is worth living. I do not require a Black president to love the ideal of America.


I cannot join you in your celebration. I feel no elation. There is no smile on my face. I am not jumping with joy. There are no tears of triumph in my eyes. For such emotions and behavior to come from me, I would have to deny all that I know about the requirements of human flourishing and survival - all that I know about the history of the United States of America , all that I know about American race relations, and all that I know about Barack Obama as a politician. I would have to deny the nature of the "change” that Obama asserts has come to America.



Most importantly, I would have to abnegate my certain understanding that you have chosen to sprint down the road to serfdom that we have been on for over a century. I would have to pretend that individual liberty has no value for the success of a human life. I would have to evade your rejection of the slender reed of capitalism on which your success and mine depend. I would have to think it somehow rational that 94 percent of the 12 million Blacks in this country voted for a man because he looks like them (that Blacks are permitted to play the race card), and that they were joined by self-declared "progressive" whites who voted for him because he doesn't look like them.

I would have to wipe my mind clean of all that I know about the kind of people who have advised and taught Barack Obama and will fill posts in his administration - political intellectuals like my former colleagues at the Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.
















I would have to believe that "fairness" is equivalent of justice. I would have to believe that man who asks me to "go forward in a new spirit of service, in a new service of sacrifice" is speaking in my interest. I would have to accept the premise of a man that economic prosperity comes from the "bottom up," and who arrogantly believes that he can will it into existence by the use of government force. I would have to admire a man who thinks the standard of living of the masses can be improved by destroying the most productive and the generators of wealth.


Finally, Americans, I would have to erase from my consciousness the scene of 125,000 screaming, crying, cheering people in Grant Park, Chicago irrationally chanting "Yes We Can!" Finally, I would have to wipe all memory of all the times I have heard politicians, pundits, journalists, editorialists, bloggers and intellectuals declare that capitalism is dead - and no one, including especially Alan Greenspan, objected to their assumption that the particular version of the anti-capitalistic mentality that they want to replace with their own version of anti-capitalism is anything remotely equivalent to capitalism.

So you have made history, Americans. You and your children have elected a Black man to the office of the president of the United States, the wounded giant of the world. The battle between John Wayne and Jane Fonda is over - and that Fonda won. Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern must be very happy men. Jimmie Carter, too. And the Kennedys have at last gotten their Kennedy look-a-like. The self-righteous welfare statists in the suburbs can feel warm moments of satisfaction for having elected a Black person.

So, toast yourselves: 60s countercultural radicals, 80s yuppies and 90s bourgeois bohemians. Toast yourselves, Black America. Shout your glee Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Duke, Stanford, and Berkeley. You have elected not an individual who is qualified to be president, but a Black man who, like the pragmatist Franklin Roosevelt, promises to - Do Something! You now have someone who has picked up the baton of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. But you have also foolishly traded your freedom and mine - what little there is left - for the chance to feel good. There is nothing in me that can share your happy obliviousness.


There are two types of folks living today. One that remembers the Carter era and the other is about to learn about it. God, please help us all.

Tragedy in Tin Can Holler
by Author Rozetta Mowery
You have got to read this captivating, true story of a family's past transgressions revealing a serial killer during the great depression, incest and child abuse, lies and betrayals and domestic violence buried for decades! The vicious murder of the author's mother haunted her for 48 years, but discovering the truth about her mother's murder was just the tip of the iceberg. Her story is spell-bounding as she unveils the hidden secrets that shocked the residents of 3 counties in southeast Tennessee.

Did you ever wonder about your parents’, grandparents’ and great-grandparents’ past? Did you ever wonder about the skeletons that are hanging in your family closet? Rozetta did! Her father murdered her mother in a place called Tin Can Holler when she was only seven years old and she spent over twelve years of her childhood in abusive foster homes. Her mother’s horrible death and disfigurement by the hands of her father always haunted her. Discovering why her father murdered her mother was just the tip of the iceberg. When a person brutally murders someone they proclaim to love, it makes you question that person’s past and their upbringing. Rozetta had no knowledge of her father’s background or his family, but her instincts told her there had to be more to the story. She searched for the truth. Uncovering the nightmarish details of her family’s past transgressions, traumatized Rozetta and shocked the residents of three counties in southeast Tennessee.

A Book Review of
Tragedy in Tin Can Holler
by Author Rozetta Mowery

Tragedy in Tin Can Holler is a riveting, well-researched, well-documented account of author Rozetta Mowery's family history, leading up to and following the tragic death of her beloved mother, Eliza Mae Robinson Mowery in Tin Can Holler, Tennessee. Eliza was kicked and beaten to death by Rozetta's father, Seig Mowery. Even after the reader has become acquainted with Seig Mowery's serial-killing mother, Grace Sims and her reign of terror, Seig's crime is every bit as shocking and heinous. The subsequent effects on Rozetta and her five siblings are excruciatingly painful, yet important, to read. And, if the brutal death of her mother were not enough, the lies and grotesque distortions of truth by her father to avoid the punishment he deserved, make Mowery's story all the more compelling.


While sadly, there are far too many families with stories to parallel Mowery's, it is not all too often that we are allowed such an intimate and up-close glimpse into the history of a particular family, enabling us to see how, in this case, spousal abuse, alcoholism, drug use, criminal behavior and much more are carried on from generation to generation.


In my opinion, the most important thing that anyone can take away from reading Tragedy in Tin Can Holler, is to understand that whether or not such sickness is learned or is biological (or a combination of the two), it will carry swiftly and without regret to future generations if not understood and if not stopped. As the author herself has accomplished so much and has reigned triumphant, her story is not without hope and inspiration to us all. Rozetta Mowery's story shows that we do not have to carry on the grim legacy of those who came before us.
_________________________________________

Most people would not have done what Rozetta did. The family secrets would have remained with the ghosts who haunt the ridge where her grandmother disposed of her victims. Tragedy in Tin Can Holler is the story of a back woods family who did unspeakable horrors beginning more than a century before the author was born. It's also a story of understanding and forgiveness. Rozetta is a woman of special grace and her book shines with the perspective of someone who's triumphed over the most horrifying tragedy imaginable. By writing her story she hopes to rectify the sins of her father, break the family curse and spread her message about the dangers of domestic violence and the horrible aftermath of what happens to the children.


Today, Rozetta is an advocate speaker against domestic violence, a spokesperson for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) and the Holston United Methodist Home for Children. She assists with fundraisers that support domestic violence programs and shelters for victims of domestic abuse.

I have had a chance to get to know this powerful writer and advocate for the the many abused and the haunted of spirit. In a day when children disappear at a greatly alarming rate, when parents and children are at each other's throats and and when many of the moral values we have always cherished seem to be in steep decline, Rosetta Mowery's account of her real-life nightmare is a must read.

All of our families have indelible moments that have been kept from us, by our parents. No one wants to bring out into the public, some of our ancestors' most heinous crimes. That is why I respect Rosetta's willingness to use her moment of sheer anguish to help so many who are now living similar disasters in their lives. She can only be acclaimed for her efforts to help those who are haunted by such grievous experiences in their lives. So, I hope you will get a copy of Rosetta Mowery's power true story and share it with others after you've read it. Some things we do for entertainment, writing this book is the same as doing the work of God.
