"The Caucasian Caucuses / I'm Not Alone!!"

As the Dems have their Iowa Caucuses today, note: all five of their finalists are WHITE.  After a field of over 20 candidates have been sifted through, this Party, which claims to be the Party of racial diversity, has five WHITE people as finalists. Booker?? Gone.  Harris?? Gone. (Wow, if this were the REPUBLICANS they'd be calling us "Racists," wouldn't they? Lol.)  By the way, Elizabeth Warren, one of the final five, is NOT part Native American...let's not even go there. It's a lie. She's WHITE.

So let's call the Iowa Caucuses what they really are....the CAUCASIAN Caucuses.

The Dems DO have some DIVERSITY, though!!  Shown above is the openly gay Pete Buttigieg (pronounced "Buddha Judge") and his potential "First Spouse."  Mayor Pete IS one of the final five to make it to Iowa.

You know, in the 1990s a guy named JOEY BUTTAFUOCO made news by cheating on his wife with a 17 year old named Amy Fisher. He was (correctly) branded as a despicable human being and, because of his last name, he was the "butt" of many jokes on TV and elsewhere.  But here in 2020, you have a guy, Buttigieg, who ALSO has the word "butt" in his last name and is OPENLY MARRIED TO A MAN, no less!!  Yet HE is not goofed on by comedians and no one criticizes HIS sin (which is as bad, if not worse, than Joey's)...in fact Mayor Pete is running for President, he's ONE OF THE FIVE FINALISTS IN IOWA TODAY AND HE IS THIRD IN SOME POLLS this morning!! Now, let me be clear, I don't think ANYONE with sins like Joey's or Mayor Pete's should be the butt of anyone's jokes..."Fools make a mock at sin," Scripture says!! But doesn't it show how far our nation...and the Democratic Party, in particular...has DECLINED in the last 25 years or so??  Just contrast the way "Joey" and "Pete" are treated and esteemed.  Anyone think JOEY should run for President??

And to my BLACK readers...how do YOU feel that the Democrats don't have a BLACK candidate in Iowa today, but MAYOR PETE is in the..........."Caucasian Caucuses"??

I'm Not Alone!!  When our local paper printed my POEM in the new February edition, they left out the DRAWING which went WITH it (above).  Additionally, the poem, ITSELF was compressed so the meter was destroyed.  I wrote the editor and told her this wasn't the FIRST time but it's the WORST time my work got butchered (I'm waiting for a response, but not holding my breath, Lol!!)

However, I feel better now since reading the OTHER poems in that paper, particularly THIS one.

I count SIX (6) spelling errors in this short poem and I'm confident that they are NOT the fault of the WRITER.

1.) The writer has two OTHER poems in this edition and there is only ONE minor spelling error between the both of them.  And 2.) The writer is listed as a "Contributing Writer" by the paper....he has one or more poems in every issue, and I have NEVER seen errors like this before in his poems.

I blame the EDITOR for these mistakes...if she didn't purposely CREATE them she failed to CORRECT them.  Ironically, the poem is called "Eyes Wide Open" but HERS must not have been!!

And now ANOTHER Christian writer looks foolish, because of it .

At least I know I'm not alone in this, but I hope I'm not the only one speaking up.  By the way, I told the editor I'm DONE contributing my art / poems to this paper.
