The Venting Post - Speaking Out For A Better America

Hi, I am just a senior citizen and a granny and I am not a writer. I want you to know how much I appreciate this website, as I am very frightened since Obama was elected president, and I find sanity when I read the articles you all write. Tonight I heard very disturbing things about Obama's chosen Chief of staff & how he supports having people from 18-25 yrs old be trained to serve in the civilian militia comprable to the military. This is what Obama has been saying!!! I'm scared! i came home tonite after hearing this on the radio, expecting to read everyone's thoughts on this, and I didn't find anything.

I never even thought of Oprah or Gayle as African American, I thought of them as just people; something I teach my children everyday, judge the inside, not the outside.  All is well with peace and harmony in the world. Then came the rally...
