Don't Hate




I am somewhat perturbed, with all these narrow minded people. That have nothing against the Fords, other than their last name. What is wrong with a father and brother, supporting a member of their family? I would look at them funny if they did otherwise. What about the Kennedy family? What has Edward ever done, but ride the coat-tails of John and Robert? We just assume because he's their brother. He is torn from the same cloth. Based on some of his positions. I don't subscribe to that theory. Their influence is so strong, it stretches to the brother-in-laws. The Kennedy name has clout. No doubt about that. They're still talking about the possibilities of John F. Kennedy's deceased son. The patriach " Joe Kennedy" was a whiskey runner. He made his fortune breaking the law. His son's have carried on the name, making the law. Talk about rags to riches. From the outhouse to the White house.

I said that to make a point. If it's good enough for the Kennedy family. It's good enough for the Fords. As long as you don't hurt anyone. I say "take your best shot". Let me say I'm not particularly a fan of the Ford Family. At least not politically. But I don't dislike them either. I respect them as entrepreneurs. I think they do a exemplary job, in their chosen profession. Whether you like them or not. They have the Midas touch. The family has run a very successful funeral business, for over 70 years. But that's not the job they're seeking. They want to be your elected leaders. If the people seem to think they do a good job. That falls squarely on the people. Don't have the crabs in a barrel mentality. Don't hate, congratulate.

  1. Bishop,

    I'm getting ready to watch the debate. Between Steve Corker and Harold Ford. If he wins or loses. I think Harold Ford Jr., has made his mark. In my opinion he has guts. He's going all or nothing. I don't think Jake should be congressman, but I think he has a future in politics. He needs to do something locally. Can you blame him for throwing his hat, in the ring? Anybody else wouldn't even be taken serious. Let alone considered a threat. Sad thing is successful or not. It doesn't improve the chances of the best candidate. Ophelia is just as good as anyone else. I think she's better than Terry Roland. I don't know a lot about Joe Jr., but he came in third. For the Democratic nomination for congress. He didn't nearly spend the money Nikki Tinker did. He just has that Ford flavor. I think he has it moreso than Isaac or Jake. He's a pretty smart young man. He is a practicing sports attorney. Now he could make some money in Memphis.I wish them all well in their pursuits.
