Phil Roberston of Duck Dynasty on Marriage

Greetings Ladies,

Well Duck Dynasty reality star Phil Robertson is getting attention again. This time he is discussing that young men should marry girls who are age 15 and 16 years old. Now just because this theory worked for him when he was younger doesn't mean this theory will work for everybody else. I'm not perfect either. My parents got married when they were young. But what Phil Roberson doesn't tell young teenagers are the difficult responsibilities that are overwhelming for teenagers such as finances and having children. Truthfully, it takes two people to make a living today and working on a minimum wage salary may not be enough to make ends meet. You have to pay utilities, house note or rent, car note, life insurance, house insurance, car insurance, and health insurance. You have to have money for food and money for gas to put in the car. The reason why Phil Robertson is telling young men to get married to a 15 or 16 girl (and make sure she knows how to cook) is because when a young lady is that age (15 or 16 years old), she doesn't quite have a mind of her own yet and doesn't have an understanding of who she is yet and she is still being raised by her parents. At age 15, a teenage girl is not sure what really wants to be yet. Ladies, a man figures he can control a younger woman and her way of thinking, so I'm begging you ladies, don't fall into that trap. Don't let a man tell you who you are! Don't wrap your life around in a man! Ladies, please do something with your precious lives because you only live once! Choose a career (choose a job that you love to do) so you can help change the world for the better! Ladies, you all have plenty of time to marry. The age of 15 and 16 should be the time to have fun and be happy. Ladies, take this time to go and find yourself! Take some time to figure out who you are and who you want to be as a female. Ladies, have a mind of your own and learn how to express it! Learn how to think! Get an education! Ladies, learn to love yourself! Phil Robertson needs to step into 2014 and get out of the Medieval Era! Girls who are 15 and 16 shouldn't be burdened with multiple responsibilities of making sure that someone else is happy and taking care of kids. Phil Robertson doesn't understand that times have changed and over time women have changed. We as females have learned to think outside the box. Look ladies, just because Phil Robertson married his wife young doesn't mean marrying young is the right thing to do.

My Thoughts About Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty

Greetings Everyone,

I've been thinking about this situation about that guy from Duck Dynasty. Phil Robertson has no business calling anyone a swindlers or an adulterer because he is not a perfect person himself. Phil Robertson is not fit to pass judgment on any human being in this world. There are people who are straight that are swindlers and adulterers. Some (not all) people who are married go out and cheat on their spouses. There are some people like Phil Robertson who been around certain same kinds of other people all their lives that they don't understand the difference between right and wrong. In my opinion, Phil Robertson has not been around different kinds of people from all over the world, he has been around the same people all his life. There are a lot of people in this world that have the common sense not to say offensive things that can be heard by other people because they know what it could lead to. There are some Republicans out there who know not to say offensive things about people where it can be heard. Ignorance grows and passes from generation to generation. Some people can be offensive and insensitive so long in their lives they don't realize when they are offending other people. Phil Robertson is very close-minded and don't understand the philosophies, ideas, and opinions from different people of the world has changed over the years during his existence on earth. In reality, people come in different shapes, sizes, colors, and all of them came to earth with hearts beating of various emotions. Bigotry is unacceptable. For years, bigotry has not made any accomplishments in this world.If anyone believes in Phil Robertson's bigotry, they are just as ignorant and close minded as he is. There are some people in this country who are really racists and homophobic but they don't like to admit it because they don't to be labeled with ugly words such as a "racist" or a "bigot" because those words don't sound good. Now some people just love to label themselves as  "GOD-fearing" and "Christians" because those labels are as sweet as honey on their tongue. But those same people who love to label themselves with those sweet words are not as GOD-fearing and Christian-like as they say they are. Those same people who label themselves as Christians can be the same people who will show hatred toward other people who are different from them in a heartbeat simply because they don't understand the people who are different. People who are GOD-fearing and Christian like are suppose to express compassion and respect for all people regardless of who they are. People who are gay, lesbian, or bisexual are normal regular people. They have the same body organs and they have the same red blood as straight people have.

Open Letter to Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) About Immigration

Dear Senator Jeff Sessions,

I notice that you've developed a large interest in the subject of immigration in the United States. However, there is something about you that concerns me regarding your views of immigrants in the US, Senator Sessions. During my upbringing years of my childhood my first lesson came from my first teachers of education, my parents, and that lesson was and still is: Never forget where I came from! The very first American citizens were Native Americans (and you and I both know the rule of discovery: whoever was the first to step on that land first and settle in it first was the first to discover it). The Europeans and people from several other countries who are the second to arrive came to America on the Mayflower Compact because they've grown tired of the strict rules in England were immigrants. Your fellow immigrant ancestors from the past, Senator Sessions, came to America looking for independence and opportunity. While you are entirely too busy talking about how the modern immigrants get into the United States of America, I'm trying to figure out how you and your ancestors, Senator Sessions, got into the United States of America. Did your ancestors get into this country like the other people who had to fill out papers first? Or did your ancestors just come to this country by ship and slowly, "take over and claimed the land as theirs"? Your ancestors, Senator Sessions, came to America to look for jobs and opportunity also just like today's immigrants. The immigrants from all over the world came to The United States of America to seek a better life. What would your ancestors from another country from the past say if they were standing in front of your face Senator? How would you tell your own ancestors from another country that they are the problem and they are taking American citizens' jobs? How would you tell your ancestors from another country from the past that they couldn't live in the "land of opportunity", The Wonderful Land of The United States of America? Senator Jeff Sessions, you forgot where you came from! You, Senator Sessions, have forgot that the fact that a long time ago, you and your ancestors use to be in the same position as the immigrants of today. Senator Sessions, you along with your ancestors who came to USA has lived to have numerous and unlimited opportunities, so let my immigrant brothers and sisters come to USA to have the same opportunities. To tell you the truth, Senator Sessions, immigrants bring several progressive and wonderful ideas to the United States of America that helps the country as well as the entire world.

The Root Of All Evil: The Destroyed Native American Mound in Alabama

Greetings Everyone,

When I learned that I have a Native American heritage, I wanted to do some research. I didn't know what a "mound" was so I did some searching and I came across some articles that the city of Oxford, Alabama destroyed a burial mound in order to build a Sam's Club there. I was curious about what was inside a burial mound. When I look at the pictures on Google I was in shock. There were skeletons of Native Americans from the past inside those mounds.

The small phrase "Money is the root of all evil" is worth over millions of sick,twisted and degrading examples and meanings. The moral teachings of the difference between what is right and what is wrong is tossed into the wind and thrown away like garbage. The fact that the mayor and city council of Oxford, Alabama decided to destroy a ancient Native American mound in order to build a Sam's Club is never ever going to be a subject in the past. This sick and treacherous decision will be in everyone's mind forever. I thought the state of Alabama loves to embrace the subject of history. My thoughts could be wrong. Maybe the truth is some of today's citizens of Alabama loves to embrace the history of their own people, the events of the Civil War, the Confederate Flag that some of the citizens of Alabama have embraced so much in the past and the present, the flag that some of the white citizens of Alabama hold in their front yards so proudly as they stretch out flowing with the wind, showing all its so-called glory, sticking its chest out and embracing it's ugly past. And how about those high and mighty women of slave owners who wear those huge dresses? The sun must have risen, shine, and set on their rich rear ends during their days of luxury, while my people were wearing rags to cover our nudity, and wearing scars, dirt and sweat that contributed from hard labor, abuse and rape. Some of the citizens of Alabama just love love love those old plantation homes that were built centuries ago and constant renovation is done over the years in order for it to stay the same way. And finally, how about those slave owners and Confederate Soldiers that the citizens of Alabama are constantly build monuments and memorials for? No one is better than anyone in the world. No one is no different that anybody else in the world. To even think that one race is better that another race is ignorant as well as arrogant.

For centuries, some Caucasian people (not all Caucasian people) have labeled anyone who is different from them as not human and as property (slavery), as indecent, as savages, as terrorist, even as a different kind of breed of an animal. For centuries, some Caucasians (not all Caucasian people) have made anybody who was different from them feel low in terms of self-esteem. For centuries, some Caucasian people (not all Caucasian people) made up stereotypes about anyone who was different from them. For centuries, did all these things simply because they didn't understand the cultures and traditions of anyone who was different, different in terms of religion and in terms of different languages.

Ladies and gentlemen as you read this blog entry, please keep in mind that I do love all people around the world, including Caucasian people and please understand that the paragraph that I just written is concerning Caucasians who don't like anyone who is different from them. I do believe that there are compassionate Caucasian people in the United States of America who see different kinds of people as individuals and care about who they are on the inside. I do believe that there are compassionate Caucasians in the United States of America who see past of what other people look like and only see what people are on the inside regarding personality. I do believe the fact that there are loving, kindhearted, caring and gentle Caucasians in the United States of America as well as around the world who are compassionate of different kinds of people and other things and issues. I hate racism and it is an ugly thing that should be a sin. I wish all people around the world would love the way GOD made all of them. 

Whether it is realized or not, the mayor along with the city council of Oxford, Alabama are suppose to be role models, leaders to not only their citizens of Oxford but to the citizens of the United States of America as well as the entire world. The mayor along with the city council of Oxford, Alabama are even being watched by children and teenagers, who are students of elementary, middle, and high schools. Not only the mayor and the city council are leaders, but they are also teachers and role models, and the entire city of Oxford, Alabama taught a very bad lesson. The leaders of Oxford, Alabama has taught not only the adult citizens but also to children an ignorant statement: Only money is more important than humanity and morals. The city leaders of Oxford the adult and children who are citizens in the world another bad lesson: That only certain kinds of history are important. This hurts me because ignorance can be passed down from generation to generation. The truth is: All kinds of history is important. All displays and exhibits of past evidence are important because they all tell stories of how people lived and how the survived in the world. The mayor and city councils deprived the children from learning pieces of history that was proof of a Native American sacred civilizations really existed, civilizations that they read about in their social studies, geography and history books. How are we, the people of today, present and future are suppose to learn anything if people like the city leaders of Oxford, Alabama constantly take the past away? I'm afraid that people like the city leaders of Oxford, Alabama will keep on destroying and erasing pieces of the past until it gets to the point that we the people of the world will forget where we come from. Not only did the city leaders of Oxford, Alabama deprived all of us from learning about our Native American ancient civilization, but they have disrupted the final resting place of human beings. This year in Oxford, Alabama, the Native Americans who were buried in that ancient mound had their human rights taken away from them. These human beings are our ancestors, our great great great grandmothers and grandfathers, our aunts, our uncles, our cousins, our nieces and nephews, from a generation to another. This is the truth about the human race: All of us have Native American in our blood. Caucasians, Native Americans, African Americans, Asians, Hispanics, Latinos, Pacific Islanders and other races all around the world are all the same. We have the same blood, the same body parts, and we all breathe the same way.  Like the Holocaust in Germany several years ago, destroying the Native American mound was "a crime against humanity".

The Aftermath of the Mayoral Election in Mobile, Alabama

Hello Everyone,

I want to say that I'm disappointed on how the Mayoral Election in Mobile, Alabama turned out. Republican Candidate Sandy Stimpson won the election, but Sam Jones deserve another term because he(Sam Jones)was the best man for the job. Sam Jones did everything in his power for the city of Mobile regarding employment and protecting the citizens of Mobile from bankruptcy. Sam Jones had numerous progressive ideas that would've help press the city of Mobile forward. Please, as concerned citizens of Mobile, please don't forget the accomplishments that Sam Jones has brought to the city from all over the world such as ThyssenKrupp, Austal, SSAB, Airbus, Singapore Technologies, BAE, Safron, AVIC, and Publix Grocery(United States of America). Sam Jones always had a plan in order to deal with issues. Am I the only one in the city of Mobile, Alabama understands that not everything happens in the snap of two fingers? Am I the only one in this city that understands not everything happens overnight? Am I the only one in Mobile knows how to be patient? With the Republican Mayor-Elect Sandy Stimpson, I'm seeing, as people call them, red flags. According to the United States Republican Congress during their campaign, their complaint was there shortage of jobs for the American citizens. When they got into the White House, the Republican Congress' focused on only two things, and one of them were not "jobs, jobs, jobs". They were banning abortion (because they know they are about to be the minority)and getting rid of Obamacare (President Obama's Health Care Plan). Republicans always say the same song. Sandy Stimpson always say crime is on the rise (and it is) and he wants to make that a top priority. But he (Stimpson) has not (even during his campaign) told us what his plan is regarding bringing crime down in order to make Mobile safe. Sandy Stimpson also said he want to give employees raises in their salaries, but he has not explained how he will make this miracle happen. Where is Stimpson going to find the money to give them raises? This is a question that no one has even bothered to ask Stimpson. As a matter of fact, there are several questions that affect the city of Mobile that no one has bothered to ask Stimpson. If you want to make a difference in your neighborhood/community, city, state, or country and do something in order to help the people, it's important to have a well organized plan on the day your plan to run for office and explain that plan to your fellow citizens and get their feedback. This is what President Obama did during his campaign and during his term in the White House. Sandy Stimpson says the population in the city of Mobile is declining. As a citizens of Mobile, I have a different opinion. Since Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, the population increased. Due to the heavy home and building damages, lost of loved ones, and extreme flooding from New Orleans, Louisiana to south of Mississippi, people had to move to different cities in the U.S. including Mobile, Alabama. At the time, Mobile, Alabama was the most stabilized city south of the Gulf Coast Region of the United States that has survived Hurricane Katrina. Between 2005 and 2013, some of the schools of the Mobile County Public School System were becoming overcrowded with students. Because of this, some schools had to have new additional wings and new schools had to be built. Because of the rising population, new houses and apartments are constantly built. During each week, there is so much heavy traffic on the interstate and every street in West, South, Midtown, and Downtown Mobile. Because of the increasing heavy traffic, interstate 10 as well as regular roads such as Hillcrest, etc had to be widened. Also, I have a great concern about the conflict of RSA (Retirement Systems of Alabama) and API (Alabama Policy Institute, in which Sandy Stimpson was chairman of). When I read some articles in the Mobile Press Register, I knew that Sandy Stimpson's goal of getting rid of the idea of pensions was to help keep his money (as well as other rich people's money) in his pocket. Rich people don't like to pay taxes at all. When Sandy Stimpson talks about getting rid of the idea of pensions, the older citizens who are middle class will have difficulty making ends meet when they retire from their jobs. Some will be too old to get back in the world of hard labor. Getting rid of pensions will be easy for the rich citizens of Mobile because they will be able to survive with their own money, but it's the working class people that is going to endure harsh times when they retire later. Thousands of dollars in money doesn't last long. It may last as much as a few years, but not forever. Lets us not forget, in the city of Prichard, Alabama, hundreds of people went without their pensions and they struggled and endured hard times. The older citizens of Prichard went through hell. Now about the pipeline through the watershed, this was a subject (that was a no-brainer in my opinion, either you are with it or against it). There is nothing to think about. Me personally, I don't want to pipeline through our watershed, this will damage our drinking water. Sometimes people can answer a question by not answering it at all. Always be careful of someone who gives you a different answer besides "yes" or "no" to a yes or no question. Trust me when I say there is a difference between running a government and running a business. We are not businesses nor money rackets, we are human beings with different lives and circumstances. If there is enough money in the budget to give out benefits such as raises for employees, then promises made to the citizens will be fulfilled. If there isn't enough money in the budget to fulfill a promise, then that promise is broken. If a politician has to cut other sections in the budget in order to fulfill one section, lives of people are going to be affected, and the outcome may not be good. You have to come up with a plan so other sections in the budget as well as the citizens won't be affected in a negative way. Some (not all) of the citizens of Mobile, Alabama have the tendency to make decisions without thinking and asking questions (I'm not trying to judge anyone, this is only my opinion). Decisions always have consequences.

Where would the United States Of America Be Without Our Immigrant Brothers and Sisters?

Some thoughts were going through my mind about immigration. I just can't believe how ungrateful and disrespectful some of the Republicans in the United States of America are to people from other countries. United States Of America wouldn't be what it is today if it weren't for immigrants. It is very important that we as American citizens should help immigrants because they have done so much for America for centuries. The wonderful bright ideas of immigrants are what helped the United States Of America progress and thrive into a good country.
