The people that have and are boldly stealing billions of tax payer monies supposedly needed for this WAR effort, are even worse than the wall street thieves.

Even worse, the same officials that KNOW of the stolen money are bold enough to ask, vote for or verbally support more funding requests from the administration.

The Investigator General for the Dept. of Defense testified before Congress, acknowledging the fact that a ‘minimum’ of 12 billion dollars out of the initial $57 billion sent to Iraq is “unaccounted for” .

Now, this fact has been confirmed and explicitly detailed to Congress as to how the money came up missing.  If it weren’t so serious, it would be a good comedy central skit.  However, in a time of war, in which our soldiers have been sent to fight for US without the proper armour, vehicles, etc., it seems that an investigation that leads precisely to the culprits is necessary.

The elected officials that are aware of the theft should explain why they don’t feel the need to perform their oversight duties.

The officials that don’t know, should.

Those that know we have sent billions to only have @25% of it stolen or lost, NEED to explain how they can ignore this fact and blindly vote for more funding that may again come up missing.

When none of the leaders in Washington seem concerned enough to fix the hole in the pocket, we can reasonably conclude that putting more money in that same pocket will :

a) be stolen by clever accounting tactics

b) will be quietly shifted to secret projects (permanent bases)

c) miraculously plug the hole and fix the problem

If you knew that someone was stealing large portions of money that you sent to be used as ammo for your sons’ rifle, or additional protection for vehicles your son rides in, or your daughters’ new body armour; would you trust the same someone to deliver more money?

When do we the people get tired of being cheated?

Really, the distractions used to change the news story are tactically planned and quite successful.  But eventually, it is US that must assume the responsibility to ensure that OUR money is being used appropriately.

Leaders like Dennis are needed in these times.

If is it our money, isn’t there something that we can do to make sure that those we give our money to, are using it for what they requested?

I instead would like to focus the attention of those Americans whom rely on terrorist acts against Americans, on the fact that they may get what they want.

If the intention by racist groups or individuals motivated by hate is to alienate races of color in America, one result could be that the alienated may look in other more accepting places to fit in.
If America were invaded through subtle infiltration or by a large foreign army, would these same racist groups expect the African-Americans to take up arms to defend the country they feel no connection to.

At best, if we were attacked, those whom feel alienated or unwanted by this country would stand by and watch.
At worst, they could be convinced by an invading force to join in the destruction of a country that terrorizes them. (Simply with the promise of inclusion and TRUE equality)
And maybe, by placing nooses and exhibiting other irrational forms of hatred, the targets are being convinced by those whom terrorize them.

My point: What’s the point?  What exactly does an American terrorist want to accomplish?  Simply terror?  Do they want to return to white only resteraunts?
I reiterate; what is it that racist groups want?  An all white country?  I honestly don’t know.  But I do know that there are consequences.  Reactions to their actions.  And sometimes there are unintended consequences OR, they may get exactly what they want. But does anyone think that THEN they would finally be happy? Do we want African-Americans to feel as though they don’t belong, even though their contributions to Americas’ status have played a significant role in how WE got here? (Imagine an America without the washing machine, elevator, railroad car connections, cotton gin, and hundreds of other inventions large and small)  Without the contributions of Africans, free and enslaved, would the American Revolution have succeeded?  What would America be like if Africans sat on the sidelines during the civil war?  Is the fact that Africans fought in every single war America has been involved in something that can be ignored? 
Africans have fought and died for this country.  Their blood is in this soil.  Their blood is on foreign soil, bodies draped in uniforms with American military insignia.
(The education system is partly responsible for the fact that most of us aren’t taught of the incredible contributions Africans in America have made to our Society, but that is a whole topic in itself)
Do we want to push them to the point where they would take up arms against this country, in part because racist groups are ignoring their contributions? 

Are those Americans that promote terror against other Americans (in this case African-Americans) ignorant?  Uneducated?  Fearful? American terrorists?

The symbology of the noose is a reference to OUR history where Africans were attacked (usually under the cover of night and by themselves), tortured and hung from a tree.  Is that terrorism?  Would a Nazi symbol on a jewish students locker at school be a hate-motivated act?  A hate crime maybe?

At what point do African-Americans say “enough is enough” and become the agressor? 
Shouldn’t we avoid pushing a person or group to the point that they no longer care if they live or die?
Isn’t the fact that we are already facing an external enemy that has been pushed too far a learning opportunity?
At what point would you become angry enough to lash out?
What is the inner spirit of those that commit to hate? Is there a spiritual component or is blind hatred of difference healed through therapy and/or education? 
How do we teach love?  Does hatred of someone different stem from a lack of love for ones’ self?  When we have a balanced and healthy love within is it possible to look outwardly with hate?
