Criticism

I always thought I had a right in the U.S. to criticize those who represent me.  I felt what they did while representing me was important, and I could, with impunity, express my displeasure.  But recently, I, like so many with a different label than the President, are viewed as racists if we disagree.  I am concerned when I hear that there are 2,000,000 more people in poverty than when he came to office.  I am concerned when I hear that there are 24% unemployed black kids, and the number has risen since he was inaugurated.  I am concerned when 48% of the Social Security I receive is borrowed from China.  I am concerned when Velveeta, as an example, at Walmart has risen over $1 since he took office.  I am concerned when I can't be sure that MY VOTE is counted, or that it isn't diluted by dead people showing up on the voting roll.  I am concerned when those who represent any of us don't know that an island won't turn over if we locate many of our military there.  I am concerned when representatives choose to leave their State because they know they will loose a legislative vote if a count is taken.  For me, how can I say without being criticized that I am not a racist!  it is like the guy who says he doesn't beat his wife and can't prove it.  Sources, CBO, Bureau of Labor Statistics, etc. -- Enough
