Trayvon Martin Case: My Opinion

"Why are you not talking about this more? You said you think Zimmerman is guilty of Racism? You said you think he should have been arrested. You said the Police should be fired. What about all this new evidence coming out,,,,,,,,,"

Hey folks,

"Do you still hold to your original opinion? Open your eyes man!!!" My eyes are WIDE open TC. The following is for TC and anyone else out there that think I'm not talking about this case enough. Completely unintended by me, this entire Big Sunday Edition, with the exception of the Health and Science Segment has turned into the Trayvon Martin Case. So you want me to talk about this. OK. Lets talk.

First, here are the FACTS we know. A Black guy, in a Hoodie {Be he Six Feet Talk with Dreads or not} is walking down a street in a Gated Community. A HISPANIC Male, the Captain of the Neighborhood Watch sees him. He called 911. He CHASES the Black Guy down the Street. Now some of this new information says that he looses the Black Guy. The Black Guy now known to be Trayvon Martin then comes up from behind Zimmerman and attacks him. Zimmerman Shoots him dead.

Some of you are not going to like me too much here, but if Zimmerman never engaged Martin, NONE of this would have taken place. So I DO blame Zimmerman for initiating first contact and triggering the Situation. No pun intended. Did he engage Martin because he was Black? Seems like it to me. But we do not have all the Facts. Does the Police Report make sense? No. Does it look like they may be attempting to hide something? Yes.

I have NO problem whatsoever in standing with the Community and demanding answers. But NONE of this is my main issue with this. THIS is.

At least two people were killed and 11 others wounded in violence across Chicago overnight, most of the victims from just two shootings on the West and South sides, according to police.

Suspects were being questioned in one of the shootings, the killing of a man near his home on the Far South Side, officials said.

The worst shooting occurred around 6 p.m. Thursday when two men in hooded sweatshirts opened fire inside a convenience store in the 1400 block of West 79th Street in the Gresham neighborhood, police said.

One man was killed and five others were wounded. The victims ranged in age from 16 to 24.

The gunmen fled in an SUV and police continued searching for them this morning.

About four hours later, four people were standing in a parking lot in the 4100 block of West Roosevelt Road when a black car drove up and gunfire rang out.

A 29-year-old man was shot in the arm, a second man the same age was shot in the leg, a 27-year-old man was shot in the leg and a 36-year-old man was shot in the thigh, police said. They were all taken by a friend to Mount Sinai Hospital, police said.

The gunman's car fled west on Roosevelt Road and north on Keeler Avenue, police said.

Other shootings:

-- A 31-year-old man was shot and killed across the street from his home on 113th Place between State Street and South Michigan Avenue, police said. David Gulley, 31, was pronounced dead at Roseland Community Hospital about 5:10 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office said.

Calumet District officers saw the shooting and brought several people in for questioning, police said. Up to three guns were recovered, police said. The people were still being questioned as of 5 a.m. today, police said.

-- A 24-year-old man was shot in the buttocks in the 11800 block of South Ashland Avenue about 5 p.m. on the Far South Side, police said. He was walking down the street when two people approached on foot and opened fire, police said.

He was stable Advocate Christ Medical Center, police said. No one was in custody this morning.

-- About 10:15 p.m., a man in his 30s was shot in the leg in the 13100 block of South Ellis Avenue. He was taken to Metro South Medical Center in Blue Island, police said.

The man told police he heard shots and felt pain.

And this?
Breitbart.com - Hoodie-Wearing Gunmen Kill 1, Wound 5 in Bobby Rush's Chicago District by Dan Rieh

Former Black Panther Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL) made quite a fuss when he donned a "hoodie" during a speech in the U.S. House of Representatives until he was escorted out. At the time, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) "applauded his courage" for doing so.

Meanwhile, back home in Rush's district, two men wearing hooded sweatshirts, or "hoodies," were the shooters in an incident that left one dead and five injured.

In fact, during a span of six-hours Thursday night, 13 people were shot, leaving two dead in Chicago. It would seem it takes more courage to simply walk down the street in Rush's district than it does to wear a hooded sweatshirt in the House of Representatives by way of a stunt in a bizarre tribute to a young man shot and killed in Florida during a shooting incident still under investigation.

Or THIS..Time - Spike Lee's Incorrect Tweet Causes Elderly Couple To Flee Home

70 year old couple - Famed director Spike Lee was forced to apologize after retweeting an incorrect tweet thought to reveal the address of George Zimmerman, who fatally shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

The Sanford, Fla. address Lee tweeted out to his more than 250,000 followers actually belongs to an elderly couple, David McClain, 72, and his 70-year-old wife Elaine, who subsequently received threats and hate mail directed at Zimmerman, the Orlando Sentinel reports. The negative attention, along with a few visits from reporters seeking Zimmerman, forced the bewildered couple to temporarily move into a hotel.

This is all a direct result of Race Baiters and the Media hyping this ONE Incident up. This is all because the Mother of Trayvon is attempting to Trademark his name. This is all because Obama jumped into the mix. All because Jesse and AL are involved. OH, I love this VIDEO. I posted it on FACEBOOK.

Congresswoman Corrine Brown (D-Fla.) insisted on CNN Wednesday that her colleagues‘ outrage over teen Trayvon Martin’s death was not solely because Martin was black — but faltered when asked to name the murdered “young white female” Brown said she was just as concerned about.

I really do not care if Al and Jesse, Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL), or Stars, or even the President himself, want to make this an opportune moment to gain Political Points, 15 minutes, Financial Gain, or whatever. They are stoking the flames. They are making things worse than they EVER needed to be.

Murders and Killings happen all the time here. We never hear of 99 percent of them. This one? This one has tried and Convicted Zimmerman before all the facts are in. This one is throwing Fuel on the Fire. This one is going to cause MORE innocent people to get killed. From the Politicians looking for Political Gains, the Race Baiters looking for more Fame and Fortune, and the Media sensationalizing this for whatever reason, it is my fear that this will end badly.

I said it before, I'll say it again. I will stand with the community and demand Answers. From the fact he was not Arrested, or even detained for any length of time, to the inconsistencies in the Police Report and Videos that are out there, I have no problem with an outside agency coming in to Investigation this Incident. I would rather it NOT be the Obama Administration's Justice Department of whom we already know is Bias, but an outside Agency non-the-less. It is my fear however, that even if Zimmerman is found innocent here, he will still be hunted down and slaughtered like an animal. This will lead to even MORE Violence by others to seek to revenge HIS death. So on the cycle goes.

This is a terrible and tragic Incident. Someone lost their life. A Mother lost her child. But to further the Violence and the divide of the Races for Personal Gain is insane. It needs to end. It needs to end NOW.

Be right back with MUCH more on this, in just a second.

White Kids Die In Silence

Headline too harsh? It IS Reality.

Hey folks,

This is what I'm talking about is my issue, well, MAIN issue, with the Trayvon Martin Case. One guy, regardless of the Circumstance, is Shot to death, INSANITY engulfs the Country. Two White kids Murdered right here in Florida? No one takes notice? Where's Obama? The Guy that killed them is Black. They are White. Is this not a HATE Crime? Were is Jesse and Al? Well, we know where they are. But where WERE they when this happened.

Thankfully the guy that Murdered them is in Jail for Life. But why are their Faces NOT on the Cover of People? Where is their MERE mention by Obama? Well, the Parents of these two would like an official answer. Don't hold your breath. They answered their own question. According to The UK Telegraph - Parents of murdered British students criticise Barack Obama By Paul Thompson in Sarasota 3:00PM BST 29 Mar 2012

The parents of two British students murdered in Florida have criticised President Barack Obama for his lack of compassion over their sons' deaths.

His failure to respond to three letters sent to the White House was because there was no "political value" and not worthy of a few minutes of his time.

They spoke out as teenager Shawn Tyson began a life sentence after being found guilty of the murder of James Cooper and James Kouzaris last April.

The 17 year old, who shot the men as they begged for their lives, will die in prison.

Or be pardoned and set free by some Liberal that convinces someone that he does not deserve it. That the only reason he was arrest was because he's Black. Or some sort of nonsense.

His conviction of first degree murder carries an mandatory life sentence without the chance of parole.

The powerfully built teen even looked bored as emotional DVD presentations about the dead men prepared by their grieving parents were shown in court.

Tyson, who has the word 'Savage' tattooed across his chest didn't show a flicker of emotion, slumping in his seat as he was forced to watch a montage of photos showing the victims from early childhood to young men.

Two close friends of the dead men who had attended the eight day trial in Sarasota, Florida. had also delivered highly emotional impact statements to the court prior to the sentencing.

Paul Davies and Joe Hallett spoke of the "living hell" they and others who knew the men had suffered since the murders.

During the eight day trial they had been shown graphic crime scene and autopsy photos shown in court.

Later speaking after Tyson was jailed Davies and Hallett lashed out at Mr Obama saying the deaths of their friends was "not worthy of ten minutes of his time."

Davies said:"We would like to publicly express our dissatisfaction at the lack of any public or private message of support or condolence from any American governing body or indeed, President Obama himself.

"Mr Kouzaris has written to President Obama on three separate occasions and is yet to even receive the courtesy of a reply.

"It would perhaps appear that Mr Obama sees no political value in facilitating such a request or that the lives of two British tourists are not worthy of ten minutes of his time."

There you go. That's the answer right there. " Mr Obama sees no political value in facilitating such a request or that the lives of two British tourists are not worthy of ten minutes of his time." Yup. Be it them, James Cooper and James Kouzaris, The "White Girl" that Congresswoman Corrine Brown (D-Fla.)can't remember, even though there were "Protests" for her, or a Sweet Innocent Jewish Girl {Miriam Monstango} who was hunted and Murdered, just because she is Jewish? Where are the Hoodies? Or whatever the two British Students were wearing that day? Where are the calls to ESCALATE Protests?

Now I know. You are thinking, yeah, but the Murderer of Miriam Monstango is dead, and the Murderer of James Cooper and James Kouzaris, is Jailed for Life. Zimmerman is still out. What about the White Person that just died Last nigh? My point is that murders take place every day in this Country. Black on Black, White on White. White on Black, Black on White, As in the Trayvon Case, Hispanic on Black. Males on Females, ETC. You NEVER hear anything about it. This Case is so disturbing to me, not because it happened, but because of what WILL happen because of a few seeking to Profit from it. How do you feel this helps Race Relations in this Country? Trayvon on the cover of People, and White kids die in silence? Just saying.

DLA For Sunday 040112

This week we have TWO Winners. I guess we should have two IWA Winners too.

Hey folks,

So we know Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, no I did not forget "Reverend," are looking for another 15 minutes and more Money. They are exploiting this tragic situation for their own gain. Can they tell me the Name of the White Kids that have been killed in this Country over the Past Week? There have been. Can they tell me the Names of the Black Kids that were killed in Gang Related Violence just this past two days? No? Can they tell us the Name of that Poor Innocent Jewish Girl that was hunted, chased down, pulled by her Ponytail, and Shot to death in France? Nope. Can they tell us the name of the White Girl that Congresswoman Corrine Brown (D-Fla.) was talking about? What about this? Can they tell me who James Cooper and James Kouzaris are?

Of course not. They do not care about them. They are too busy CREATING an atmosphere of Hate and Violence. They ARE. They are doing so, for nothing more than Fame and of course, more money. Obama is using this for Political Points. Even put the 2012 Re-elect Logo on Hoodies. Not kidding.

So now Al is calling for an "escalation" and a "move to the next level" if the Police do not Arrest Zimmerman. Now we just talked about all the insanity going on out there. 70 year old couple having to flee their Home. People being Shot to death by people wearing Hoodies. Property Damage and Harrassment of Innocent people. And Al is calling for a "move to the next level?"

Well, there are two people that have had enough. Our first Winner is someone I have never heard of before today. He is a Radio Talk Guy. I guess. His name is Todd Schnitt. He is calling for MSNBC to FIRE Al Sharpton, for what he calls, an attempt at inciting Violence. He also feels that he should be arrested if Riots break out. I agree. Al Sharpton IS using his Show to do exactly this. He IS stirring up strife and division. He WILL be responsible for further Violence that IS and WILL take place. He is USING his Show to do just that.

You know, it was funny to me that so many Liberals wanted Rush off the air for saying a Liberal Activist called herself a Slut, after she went on National Television and said she had so much sex she couldn't afford Contraceptives. But yet, no one is calling for Sharton to be Fired for inciting Violence and spreading Hate? Rush's Audience is bigger than ever, and he has even MORE Sponsors than ever. Just a little side note.

Then we have our SECOND Winner. One from a source I was actually SHOCKED to see. His name is Turner Clayton. Who is he? He is the Seminole County Chapter President of the NAACP. {Laughing} Yup. The NAACP. {The National Advancement of Colored People} According to WKMG Local 6 - Civil rights leaders condemn Sharpton's call for escalated civil disobedience

Turner Clayton, the Seminole County chapter president of the NAACP, reacted immediately to Sharpton's warning, saying, "We hope that the citizens of Sanford will govern themselves accordingly. We are not calling for any sanctions, against any business or anyone else. And, of course, what Rev. Sharpton does, that's strictly the [National] Action Network. We can't condone that part of the conversation, if that's what he said."

Clayton said he believes that the expected 3,000 people who will attend Saturday's march and rally in Sanford will realize the difference between Sharpton's message and the NAACP's mission.

"I don't think they can confuse that," Clayton said. "It's just that they will have to make a judgment as to whether they want to follow the mission of the NAACP or follow what the Rev. Sharpton said."

THANK YOU Mr. Clayton. You see, I have no problem with people Protesting and showing their disdain, or disagreement, with something going on. I really don't. But that is NOT what Al and Jesse are doing. Jesse is calling for Zimmerman to be Crucified. Al is calling for "Sanctions?" against WHO? Calling for a "move to the next level?" What exactly does he mean? Sounds like he is inciting Violence to me.

Congratulations to both of you. Mr. Clayton and Mr. Schnitt. For having the Intelligence and courage to stand up and call what is, IS, and call for sanity to prevail in the Insanity that is ever growing, you are BOTH the Winners of the Display of Logic Award for Today, Sunday, April 1st, 2012. I hope YOU and the people LIKE you, prevail against those that would further the divide for personal gain.

IWA For Sunday 040112

Rhetoric like this, causes more harm than good.

Hey folks,

In what turned into being a Trayvon Martin day here at the OPNTalk Blog, much to my chagrin, we wrap things up with the Idiot of the Week. Now I have often asked over the years, when it comes to Reverends Jackson and Sharpton, Reverends of WHAT? Where are their Churches? Where do they Preach? What do they Preach? Well, we know WHAT they Preach. Hate and division for Profit and Fame. But Seriously, Reverends of WHAT?

What is the Definition of Reverend? rev·er·end/ˈrev(ə)rənd/
Adjective: Used as a title or form of address to members of the clergy.

Noun:

A clergyman, priest, minister

Synonyms:
adjective. venerable - honourable - honorable - worshipful

So if used as a title or form of address to members of the Clergy? What Church? What faith? What are the teachings? Where are the Followers? If an attempt to be seen as Honourable? Why? Why should we Honour someone because they CHOOSE to add the "title" of Reverend to their name? Did you know, and this is true, I could become a Reverend Online for a small fee in about 15 minutes? That's right. I would then be the Legal Definition of a Reverend. I can Marry. I can absolve of Sins. I can be Tax Exempt. I'm not kidding.

So we have two guys, in this case, I want to focus on ONE, who calls himself a Reverend. I thought Reverends we suppose to bring people together and teach about God, Sin, and Faith. But all this Reverend, of whom I will never refer to again as such, does is create strive and division while getting Famous and Rich from doing so. That's it. He exploits his own people and they, well, some, prop him up on this Pedestal and give him what he seeks.

None of this is new. Anytime a Black Person is "a Victim of Injustice" real or imagined, he jumps into the fray, stirs things up. He then collects his 15 minutes and Money, and goes home. Or goes and Fathers another Baby. But in this case, he crossed the line. In this case, he is actually calling for the Crucifixion of a fellow Citizen. He is calling for the Murder of a Person who, agreed of not, has not been arrested, Tried in Court, and found Guilty of a Crime. In this Country, we are INNOCENT until Proven Guilty. This Idiot is calling for him to be MURDERED. Not that most of you know this. NO ONE is reporting this. But he said it. He said....

"This is Easter time, you don't have to be guilty to be crucified. We come more than asking for him to be arrested today"

Now to be fair, he went on to say this...

"I ask we join hands together to repeal this law."

So if it HAD been reported, which it wasn't, he would have just said, "I was talking about repealing the Law." but it is CLEAR what he was saying. Here, again....

"This is Easter time, you don't have to be guilty to be crucified. We come more than asking for him to be arrested today"

As a Christian, I find this offensive Jesse Jackson. Are you going to Protest yourself? Maybe another FALSE Rev. Your Brother in Solidarity Sharpton will take up my cause? Yeah, I know, don't hold my breath right?

Congratulations Jesse, you are no doubt, the Idiot of the Week. You are no doubt, in the running, for Idiot of the Year. At least the top Five. To call for the execution, the Crucifixion, of a fellow Citizen, using the Crucifixion of Christ as an example? You are actually more Stupid than I originally thought. I will no longer, even in jest, address you as Reverend. You should have never held that Title to begin with. I hold YOU accountable for the death of innocent people, based solely on the Color of their Skin. YOU are creating a situation here that HAS already escalade to Violence all over the Country. YOU did it. YOU and Al, another I will never again address as Reverend. YOU are to Blame you Moron. You are to a Reverend what Satin is to God. And it really is, just that simple.

Have a great rest of Weekend folks. I'm off to Birthday Party two, and the Thing I have later. See you soon.

Trayvon Martin Case Nothing To Do With "Stand Your Ground"

Does it have to do with Race? Possibly.

Hey folks,

The Trayvon Martin Case. Here is a Black Kid walking back from a Mini-Mart thing with a Snack, and he is accosted by a MORON, George Zimmerman, who is Hispanic by the way, and Trayvon Martin ends up dead.

Here is what we know. Trayvon was visiting Relatives therefore he was not a Resident of the Gated Community. Zimmerman, who is the Volunteer Neighborhood Watch Captain of his Community, is walking around with a Gun he should not have.

He spots Martin, and decided he was suspicious and called 911. 911 told him to NOT pursue Martin, that they would send someone out. He pursued Martin, who was unarmed, and something happened. The Something is not clear, but what we do know is that Martin was Shot by Zimmerman, and killed. Zimmerman, and the Police involved, claim he operating on the grounds of the "Stand Your Ground Law." No arrests were made. Zimmerman has since relocated.

Like clockwork, and according to the Liberal Anti Gun Script, and according to the Race Card Fame Script written by the Revs. Jackson and Sharpton, the Media kicked into overdrive, and even Obama threw himself into the mix. After all, if Obama had a Son, he would look like Trayvon.

First, we do not even know if Zimmerman has a Concealed Carry Permit. Rumors abound that he doesn't. Second, even if he DID have a CCP, he was not allowed to carry a weapon while on "Patrol" as a Volunteer Neighborhood Watch Captain. So he was wrong right there. Third, he was TOLD by Dispatch NOT to pursue. He did. He was wrong there. He did not "Stand His Ground," he ran him down. Forth, he shot and killed an unarmed kid.

Just on these grounds, he should have been arrested on the spot. None of this has anything to do with the "Stand Your Ground" Law, nor does it have anything to do with Guns. It is all about a Moron, most likely a Wannabe Cop, who killed an unarmed kid. It also doesn't make Martin MORE dead because he is Black. He is just as dead as he would be, if he had been Green with pink polka dots. Lets look at the Liberal reaction and see if we can make sense of it. I know, I know, but lets try.

Some want to now do away with, or modify the "Stand Your Ground" Law. Why? The speed limit here in Sunny South Florida is 70. I speed, I hit someone doing 80 and kill them. Is the Law to blame? No. I AM! I was not following the Law. I was SPEEDING. So modifying the Law will accomplish NOTHING. Change it from 70 to 65 will not matter to me, or someone like me, who will STILL drive 80. The next person who drives 80, hits, and kills someone else, will be no more guilty than before the Law changed. Zimmerman was not following the Law as he and the Police involved claim. Therefore changing or doing away with the Law will accomplish NOTHING.

The Law on Carrying Guns? Did he have a Permit? Does the guy that just robbed Bells Bargo have a Permit? I've talked about this many times. If I'm going to commit and Crime, I am NOT going to go to Wal-Mart, or a Gun Store, get finger printed, go through a Background Check, wait ten days, then go pick it up. No. I'm going to the corner of Hookers Are Us, and Drugs For All Occasions, and buy one from another Criminal. The Gun Laws will not stop this process. We do not need more. I do however think we need more Mandatory Training for those who do go through the Process.

As I've also said many times, I do not like Guns. Truth is, you are more likely to have an Accident with a Gun in your house than you are to EVER need to use it in a Home Invasion type scenario. If you ever pull a gun on me, or someone like me, you BETTER be trained on how to use it. I will take it from you and shoot you with your own gun if I need to. But that's just me. I believe EVERYONE has the right to have one if they chose, as long as they DO follow the Laws on the Books.

Now lets deal with the Race Issue. Is Martin Black? Yup. Is Zimmerman White? Nope. He is Hispanic. But since his last name is not Rodriguez, or Lopez, he's got to be a White guy. Or at lease that is how he will be portrayed. Did he pursue Martin and Shoot Martin because he was a Black guy in a Hoodie? Seems like it to me. But I can not prove that, no. Do we have any evidence to this effect? No. I believe he DID purse Martin SOLEY because he was a young Black Kid. The Hoodie did not help the Situation. But I do truly wonder if he would have been so zealous if the Kid had been White. I have my doubts.

There is so much more I could say about Dress and Appearance of Today's Youth, and the Direct correlation on that, and the reaction they get from others who see them, but I want to stick to this Case.

Truth is, The Revs., even though I AGREE that Race played a part in this, are going to make things FAR worse. Not better. There is a Lynch Type Mentality growing out there that is NOT good for ANYONE. Should Zimmerman be Arrested? Of course. He should have been on the night of the Murder. Should the Police that played a role in NOT doing their Job, and the Chief, if found he did anything improper be fired? Absolutely. Is this a tragic event that caused a young man to die, and a family to morn? Of course it is. But stirring up MORE Racial Violence and possible Riots, is NOT useful and does not help anything.

To take a line from Joyce Kaufman, "Can anyone tell me the names of the Jews that were Killed in France by a Muslim?" Anyone? Can you tell me the name of the little 8 year old girl that was pursued and grabbed by her Pony Tail, right before a Rabid Human shot her to Death? Miriam Monstango is her name. Obama can tell you Martin's name. Can Obama tell you her name? Did Race Play a part in that senseless death? Of course it did. He said he killed her because she was a Jew. No press on that. But this story, the Trayvon Martin Case, will be Headline News for weeks. All because the Victim was Black. All because the Media has it orders to cling onto this. Hey, at lease no one is talking about the Economy. All because the Revs. see this as another one of their Spotlight moments.

Make no mistake about it. I truly believe Race DID play a part in this. George Zimmerman SHOULD be in Jail right now. No question in my mind. God Speed Trayvon Martin, and may his family have the Peace and Comfort they need in this very devastating time.

However, to profit from this? To put this Victim over every other Victim, just because of the color of his Skin, or to create MORE division and strive amongst the Races over this while seeking to get attention for oneself, or use it for a distraction or Political gain, is just plain WRONG. May Justice be served in this Case. May we all move on from it.

IWA for Sunday 032512

As usual, being surrounded by "Yes People," they get a false sense of importance.

Hey folks,

Time to wrap things up with the Idiot of the Week. It's a Celebrity. A Movie Star. We have talked about this phenomena before. The live outside the real world. They, most, lack the ability to think. It's doesn't take that much intelligence to PLAY. To pretend to be something you are not. To live in make believe.

If you are successful, then you have people coming out of the woodwork. They want to share your Spotlight. They want to be seen with you. They want to get some of the Fringe Benefits for being Famous, even though they are not. So? They agree with whatever the "Star" says. As usual, being surrounded by "Yes People," they get a false sense of importance. They truly start believing their hype.

So then, they open their mouth and show that the person you thought they were, is nothing more than a show. They think that they are imparting onto us regular folks, some kind of ultimate wisdom. Enlightenment. Like this gem...

"Callista Gingrich. Karen Santorum. Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white first lady? No! Too soon, right?"

{Sigh} Idiot. Economy in the tank. Unemployment out of control. Record Debt, things FAR worse than they were. Gas Prices, causing the price of everything, skyrocketing. {By Design} No plans to STOP Spending. Government take overs. And our Idiot actually says...

"Callista Gingrich. Karen Santorum. Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white first lady? No! Too soon, right?"

There's a plan for the future. A White first Lady is what? Evil? What difference does Color make? Hell, I'll keep Michelle, just throw her Husband out. According to The Politico - De Niro: Too soon for another white first lady By CAITLIN MCDEVITT | 3/20/12 7:09 AM EDT

Actor Robert De Niro thrilled the crowd at a New York fundraiser headlined by first lady Michelle Obama when he listed the alternatives.

"Callista Gingrich. Karen Santorum. Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white first lady?" De Niro asked a star-studded crowd gathered in the backroom of Locanda Verde, a restaurant he owns on Greenwich Street in TriBeCa.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "No!" as De Niro quickly added, "Too soon, right?"

It goes on to say who was there, but who cares. The point is, what difference does the Color of the First Lady have to do with ANYTHING? I would be more concerned if the next First Lady will fly on her own Jet, Vacation with friends and family all over the world on MY Dime. I want to know if the Next First Lady is going to attempt to DICTATE to me what I can and can eat. While she eats anything she wants. I don't care what color the next First Lady is. What I care about is if she is SANE.

Congratulations De Niro, I love some of your Movies, but I couldn't care less what your Racist comments even mean. Just go entertain me some more and leave the Future of the Country to those that actually CARE and understand Reality. You Sir ARE the Idiot of the Week. Add this to all your other Awards over the years. May you receive many more.

IWA for Sunday 031812

Once again, Ladies and Gentlemen, The Race Card..

Hey folks,

This is not new. This is one of the main reasons that Obama got elected in the first place. This is in the Playbook. If all else fails, play the Race Card. It is pretty pathetic and shows nothing more than just how desperate the Left is getting.

Disagree with Illegal Immigration? You're a RACIST. Think someone should be held accountable for Voter Fraud? You are Racist. Disagree with a Government Program that PROMOTES one Race above another, you're a Racist. Any time you disagree with the "smart people" and their Liberal agendas, YOU are the one with the problem. YOU are too stupid to understand what is good for you. If you ask them for details of why they think they are right? Or prove that they are wrong? Well, then you are a Racist. A stupid one at that. Then comes Obama. Of course, YOU'RE a Racist.

Disagree with ANY of Obama's Policies? Racist. Do not Vote for him? Racist. Call him out with FACTS and ask for clarification on, well, anything Obama does. Racist. Dumb, stupid, bigoted, RACIST, and you just don't matter anyway.

So we are use to this. When the Left can not Win an Intelligent argument, you disagree with their Policies, OR they want to push an agenda that NO ONE {the Majority} wants, that is what they go to. Race.

So the Left COMPLETELY manufactured this nonsensical "Right's War on Women." and attempt to get Females to believe that the Republicans want to Ban Contraceptives, which NO ONE SAID, EVER, and YOU don't buy into it, YOU ARE STUPID and RACIST!!!

I kid you know folks. Karen Finney, a Democrat Strategist, said the only reason she can see for Rick Santorum winning the Female Vote is, they are too stupid, and Racist, to know what is good for them. {Laughing}

Well... This woman vote really hurts me, I gotta say. It's a little painful 'cause I'm wondering if those women really heard the full message that: Yes, there is the economy, but if you've gotta worry about your basic health care, how are you then gonna be able to do what you need to do in terms of having a job, paying your rent, taking care of your kids.

If you don't HAVE a Job, you CAN'T pay your Rent, and take care of your Kids. The last thing most intelligent people are thinking when the have no Job, Money, and or Food, is Hey, how am I going to pay for contraceptives. You know, I may not have anything, with little hope of getting anything, but I want to have sex. {Sigh} Of course it's the ECONOMY you Idiot.

You know, I'm stunned. Uh, the only explanation that I can come up with is, and I think this would be a question I'd want to go back and ask these women. For these women: Did race or, or, in other words, "conservative values," that's the code, right? -- trump gender? You know, it's still a very conservative state. The racial issues are alive and well in Alabama and Mississippi.

So ANYONE that espouses "Conservative Values," is really saying, hey, don't Vote for, or agree with Obama, because he's a Black Guy. And I guess while you are at it, do not agree with Liberals, because all they care about is Minorities. So they have to be stopped because they are not for White People. {Sigh} Conservative Values are God, Family, and FREEDOM. No matter what Race you are. Conservative Values have NOTHING to do with Race. But I guess this would explain why our Idiot this week hated Clarence Thomas being nominated to the Supreme Court, or why she hated Herman Cain. Not because of their Policies or Beliefs, but because they are Black. Right? I say that she did not like them because she is a Racist herself. It could NOT possibly because she disagrees with their View on things. It has nothing to do with Policies, or Core Values, she hated them because they do not look like her. Right?

Remember those polls that we saw where large percentage don't believe in interracial marriage and think the president is a "Muslim." So clearly there is some sort of racial stuff in there, and I wonder if that ultimately for white working women trumps their own gender.

{Laughing} You stupid White Women. By the way, what Polls is she talking about? When? By Whom? It's all Bunk. But in her view, White "Working Class" AKA Poor, Women are Stupid Racist, because they believe in God, Family, and Freedom.

Congratulations Karen Finney, for being such an Idiot, to come out on national Television and call White "Working Class" Women, Stupid Racists, you ARE the Idiot of the Week. So I leveled a charge against you. Prove to me that you did NOT like Herman Cain for any other reason than he's Black. Maybe you are too stupid to realize that the reason you did not like him was because your a Racist. But you are. See how this works?

More PC BS. The Olympics Are Coming

The people making this decision are either Libs, or suffer from Suitaphobia.

Hey folks,

You all know I'm a fan of the Olympics. I love them. I love cheering on the American Teams to win the Gold. When I was growing up, I heard the same Chant in Pro Wrestling. Whenever someone like Sgt. Slaughter was taking on the Iron Sheik or the Russian guy. I hear the chant at Soccer Games. I have no problem with someone showing love for this Country. USA USA USA.

So seems this High School had a game. It was Alamo Heights vs San Antonio Independent School District. When Alamo Heights won the game, some of the kids starting chanting USA USA USA. The people became Appalled!!!! That's Racist!!! Really?

Seems that according to this Article, Alamo Heights had mostly White Students, while EVERY member of San Antonio Edison is a Minority. So the Idiots deemed this, USA, as a Racist Statement? Seriously?

Are the Students at San Antonio Edison Legal American Citizens? If so, they are AMERICAN. This means they are PART of the USA. Does it not? So they could be proud of this Chant as well. Could they not? If they are NOT Citizens, then they should not even be here to begin with. But that's a whole other issue.

So, apparently, according to this piece, shock and flabbergastion {Smile} was the immediate emotion by everyone there at the time of the Chant. How Racist. How mean. How disgusting. How dare anyone chant USA. {Sigh}

Read this piece. The Writer, who is it? Oh here it is. Brian Mylar. Brian seems to agree with this. According to KSAT.com - Racial incident mars high school game School district, students apologize Author: Brian Mylar, Reporter, bmylar@ksat.com

SAN ANTONIO - A local school district is apologizing after an apparent incident of racism at a boys high school basketball game this past weekend.

When the final whistle blew Saturday, Alamo Heights celebrated a convincing victory over San Antonio Edison.

Alamo Heights Head Coach Andrew Brewer said he was proud of his team.

"Tremendously proud,” Brewer said. “Tremendously. It's the best group of kids."

But it was just after the trophy presentation when the coach was not proud of the chant coming from Alamo Heights fans.

"USA, USA, USA," they chanted.

San Antonio Independent School District officials took the chant as a racial insult to a school with all minority players from a school with mostly white ones.

On the KSAT 12 Defenders Facebook page, Santos Villarreal's post reads “this has to stop.”

SAISD Spokeswoman Leslie Price heard about the incident after it had happened.

"This is very disrespectful to our students,” Price said.

Wait. WHY? Are they U.S. Citizens? I know, I know, I can hear it now. "That doesn't matter you Racist Bastard!!!! How dare you question them." {Sigh} My point is, if they ARE U.S. Citizens, then they should not be offended at someone chanting USA. They ARE USA. Right?

She said the district is glad the coach put a stop to the chant immediately and hopes Alamo Heights addresses it quickly.

"It is surprising and it's disappointing to hear that anyone would be out there making those kind of remarks," Price said.

Those kind of remarks. USA. Those kind of remarks? When did USA become "those kind of remarks?" Well, I guess NOW. It goes on to talk about how some Students were "appalled." I'm betting they weren't. They probably had no idea what was going on until someone told them. "Are you appalled at what they said?" "Yes, I am very appalled, at uh, at, uh, what did they say?" "They chanted USA implying that you were not a Citizen. That's appalling. So you are appalled and shocked right? You are going to be in the news and on TV." "Oh, uh, YEAH I'm VERY Shocked and Appalled."

This is how this starts folks. The Liberals take something like this, and they run with it. They report it for something it is not, then insert their agenda, and start talking about it they way they want it to sound. It goes on the Local News, and in the Papers. Pundits start talking about why stupid people like you just do not understand why this is offensive, and the next thing you know, someone is trying to BAN it. "No more chants of USA at Sporting Events." Brain Dead Liberal Sheeple just accept it. They feel good being "on the right side of the issue," Then all of a sudden, USA BECOMES a Racist Chant.

Look, the sad fact is this. The people making this decision are either Libs, or suffer from Suitaphobia. The Libs. start it, and people who are FEARFUL of either being called names or being SUED, go along with the premise, and in cases like this, APPOLOGIZE for their "offense."

A lot of Liberals HATE this Country. They do not see American Greatness, and feel we are no better than anyone else. Hell, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta just said that he feels that 'International Permission’ Trumps Congressional Permission For Military Actions. Check out the Video. It's like 7 minutes long but it tell you all you need to know. They do not care about the Constitution. They do not see America as Great, nor better, than anyone else. They will not do anything without "PREMMISSION" by the "World." They want America to simply fall in line and follow. They do not want America to stand out as the Shinning City on the Hill as we once were. They do not see America for what she has always been.

So it's stupid little things like this, chanting USA being deemed "Racist," and called "those kind of remarks," that just further erode the American Spirit and America's Greatness.

Sorry folks, you do what you want. I will Chant USA anywhere and anytime I chose, and I will be PROUD to do so. If you are offended, too bad. You came here for a better life, or you were born here, in the GREATEST Country on the Planet. If you are not happy here? Go somewhere that is better suited for you. But for me and the rest of the People that LOVE this Country, we will continue to cheer it and defend it, and we will be Proud in doing so.

Bill Maher Calls Herman Cain An Ape

Where are all the CRIES of Racism?

Hey folks,

I think we may have found our Idiot of the Week already. But then again, this guy IS an Idiot. He lives in Idiotville. Hell, he may even be the Mayor. But this is a bit over the top, even for him. When is someone going to ask that this guy go back into the obscure shadows of which he came? He is not even funny any more.

Of course I'm talking about Bill Maher. We are use to his blindly repeating completely false, and at times, insane, Liberal Talking Points. But this? Imagine if a Conservative said this about Obama. Seriously. Imagine a Conservative talking about Obama, then say he is hoping for Clinton to pull it out because she is the only thing standing in the way of the Rise of the Apes. Can you imagine?

Well, that IS what he did say about Cain. According to MRC - After Mentioning Cain, Bill Maher Says Romney Only Thing Stopping 'The Rise of the Apes' By: Tim Graham Monday, November 14, 2011 11:29 AM EST

Appearing on ABC's Good Morning America, Monday, to shill for his latest book, Bill Maher told George Stephanopoulos he's rooting for Mitt Romney to win the Republican nomination. "At least he eats with a knife and fork. I mean, he is all that stands between us and the rise of the apes."

Yup. Here is the Exchange.

STEPHANOPOULOS: So, what's got you irritated this morning?

MAHER: Being up in the morning. I'm not irritated. I'm a comedian. So, I'm living high on the hog on this presidential campaign.

Maher offered an endorsement that Mitt Romney probably doesn't want, exclaiming, "I'm rooting for him." He added, "You have got to feel bad for Mitt Romney. I mean, he's been led, so far, by Trump, then Bachmann. Then Perry. Then Cain." This led to Maher's very questionable "ape" comment, as captured by MRC's Scott Whitlock:

STEPHANOPOULOS: You have got- And- I saw you and you have got either, very, very rich, or very very certain of your opinions. Because on, what, Friday night, you offered a million to one bet, Michelle Caruso-Cabrera put up a dollar. You put up a million saying Herman Cain will not be president.

MAHER: Yeah. Yeah, that was a couple years ago. That was even before the sex scandal. You know? Yes. I think I would bet a million dollars against Herman Cain. Wouldn't you take that bet? Is not going to be the candidate.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Only reason I wouldn't. I agree with your bottom line. I just don't feel like putting up a million dollars to one.

MAHER: No. And I don't really have that kind of money to lose on a bet either. But, I mean, this is a guy wearing a pimp hat through a scandal, a sex scandal. So, I feel like that pretty much sealed my thing. This is a guy who has a tax plan that we found out was written pretty much by his branch manager at Wells Fargo. You know?

STEPHANOPOULOS: Out in Cleveland.

MAHER: He went into cash some checks and the teller said, "Can I do anything else for you?" And he said, "Yeah, could you rewrite the tax code for the United States of America?"

STEPHANOPOULOS: Yet, he's, he's still leading the field. Still is. I mean, he's starting to fall just a little, but still leading the field.

MAHER: But, that's just because they hate Mitt Romney.

STEPHANOPOULOS: They do.

MAHER: You have got to feel bad for Mitt Romney. I mean, he's been led, so far, by Trump, then Bachmann. Then Perry. Then Cain.

STEPHANOPOULOS: But, he kinda hangs in there. He's everyone's second choice.

MAHER: I'm rooting for him. You know? Because, look, in a country with only two parties, the Republican can always win. I mean, at least he eats with a knife and fork. I mean, he is all that stands between us and the rise of the apes.

So according to Bill Maher, Mitt is the only thing blocking Cain from "Pimping" his way to power. So he calls him a Pimp. Then says if not for Romney, the Apes would Rise. SERIOUSLY? Where are all the CRIES of Racism? Where are all the calls for Billy Boy to step down? Don't hold your Breath. This is another CLEAR Example of the Left being who they are.

Now if Stephanopoulos were a REAL Reporter, he would have called him out on this. But of course, he's NOT. He is just a talking head for the Liberal Loons. So he just continued on. But it's time that people starting making a big deal out of things like this. It's time to show who the REAL Racists are. They LIVE on the Left. And it IS, just that simple.

WAY Over Played Race Card. Not Working Anymore

Use to be people trembled in fear. Now? They sigh. Even Laugh.

Hey folks,

Can't win an Intellectual Debate? Call the person a Racist. Can't convince someone to see something your way? Call them a Racist. Can't get a Job. Racist. Can't get a Loan, Racist. Get stuck in traffic. Racist. Fast food forget your Fries? RACIST!!!! You were late getting to work because your RACIST Alarm Clock didn't WANT you to be there. Racist, Racist, Racist, Racist.

There USE to be a time when this ACTUALLY meant something. When someone was accused of being Racist, well, a lot of times they WERE. Use to be reserved for only those that actually showed SIGNS of being one, that one would be called one. But the Left have over played it. The Liberals have worn it out. There is nothing left of it. Well, for the most part. Use to be people trembled in fear. Now? They sigh. Even Laugh. The ONLY ones that seem to still fear this is some in the Republican Leadership. But they had better get over it fast, or THEY will be looking for a new Job as well.

I've said this before. I'll say it again. I will no longer argue with someone who plays the Race Card. I will no longer respond to any allegations of me being a Racist. I will no longer entertain little minds that think that I will bow to their stupidity.

Seriously, think about this. The Black "Leaders" have been fighting for equality for YEARS. However, when true Equality is accomplished, they denounce it. In other words, Bill Cosby, Clarence Thomas, and of course Herman Cain. These are just three examples of Blacks who have "Broke Through" or became equal to the "Whites." They are attacked. They are called Sell Outs, Tokens, Uncle Tom, even House "Ns." {Sounds like Triggers} So they can't even win with their own? Stay down? Because the Whitey is keeping you down. Rise up? You are nothing more that a House N.

Then if you are White, YOU are the Racist. Lets see if I can follow this. Don't like Obama? Racist. Object to his Policies? Racist. Tea Party Racist. Blacks in the Tea Party? Sell Outs, Tokens, Uncle Tom, even House "Ns." {Sounds like Triggers} They will never Vote for a Black guy. Along comes Herman Cain? According to The Weekly Standard - MSNBC Analyst: GOP Sees Herman Cain as a 'Black Man Who Knows His Place' 5:01 PM, Oct 28, 2011 • By MICHAEL WARREN

On Martin Bashir's television program this afternoon, Democratic strategist and MSNBC analyst Karen Finney said that Republicans are supporting Herman Cain because of his race:

What? No wait. We will NEVER Vote for a Black Man, but we are supporting a Black Man because he is Black? Yup. Oh it gets better folks. {Laughing}

"One of the things about Herman Cain is, I think that he makes that white Republican base of the party feel okay, feel like they are not racist because they can like this guy," Finney said. "I think he giving that base a free pass. And I think they like him because they think he's a black man who knows his place. I know that's harsh, but that's how it sure seems to me."

"Thank you for spelling that out," Bashir responded.

{Laughing, banging hand on desk} He KNOWS his PLACE? He is RUNNING for the most important Job in the Free World. If he wins, he will BE the most Powerful person in the Free World. It doesn't bother me that he is Black. I support him and if he gets the Nomination, I will VOTE for him. I OPPOSE Obama because of his POLICIES. Stupid, FAILED, Liberal Policies. It has NOTHING to do with HIS Race.

This isn't the first time liberals have made this kind of charge about Cain and his supporters. During an online production of NBC's Meet the Press this week, Democratic congressman Elijah Cummings of Maryland said white voters support Cain to show they aren't racist. “I think when [members of the Tea Party] can vote for a Herman Cain and hear him say the things that he says they feel like, ‘Well, you know, I can, I support this guy and...so it shows that I’m not racist and I’m supportive,'" Cummings told host David Gregory.

Liberal comedienne Janeane Garafalo told Current TV host Keith Olbermann earlier this month that Cain is popular with Republicans because it "hides the racist element" of the party. Watch that video here.

So don't Vote for a Black Guy because you are Racist. Vote FOR a Black Guy, because you are Racist and trying to hide it. What a bunch of BRAIN DEAD, Liberal Mumbo Jumbo.

I've got news for you. I do not like Obama. I would NEVER Vote FOR Obama. I would not do it to feel better about myself. I would not do it to prove a point. I would not do it on the Plain. I would not do it in the Rain. I would not do it in my head. I would not do it in my Bed. I would not Vote for him Today. I would not Vote for him ANY day. I do not like Obama and his plans, I do not like him says Pete I am.

If someone was a True Racist out there. They would not Vote for Obama. They would not Vote for Cain. They would not Vote for Micky Mouse. They would NEVER Vote for ANY Black person. It would not matter who's team they are on. It really is not hard to understand. We will not Vote for Obama because of WHO he is, and his POLICIES. Not the Color of his Skin. We WILL Vote for Cain, because of WHO he is and his POLICIES. Not the Color of his Skin. I understand, the Race Card is all you got. But it is worn out and over played. And it IS just that simple.

DLA For Sunday 102311

This is a GREAT Peace in the American Spectator

Hey folks,

Here is something that is all but hidden in the Mainstream Media. You do not get Stories like this one. You just don't. That's because it goes against the Liberal Agenda. All we ever hear is that the Tea Party, Republicans, Conservatives, anything NOT Liberal in general, are nothing more than Racist Hicks. So TRUE history and the TRUTH about Conservatism is always ignored. This is a GREAT Peace in the American Spectator. I guess they can SHARE this Award. I do not want to add anything to this. It was well written and our Winner this Week is someone that not only KNOWS the Truth, but has the courage to stand and speak it. Here it is.

The American Spectator - Don't Know Much About History By Larry Thornberry on 10.20.11 @ 6:08AM

Republicans and Black Americans -- a better story than you've heard.

Poet W. H. Auden said professors are folks who talk in other people's sleep. True enough. I recall some nodding off in my college history classes (not by me, of course).

No one, however, slept through the history lesson Tuesday night at the monthly meeting of the Hillsborough County (Tampa) Republican Executive Committee. But then Frantz Kebreau is not your ordinary professor. If fact, he's not a professor at all but an airline pilot and former Navy pilot with more than 300 carrier landings, taking some time away from the clouds to promote a more earthly understanding of the blessings of American freedom that people of all races can enjoy (at least and until politicians zero those freedoms out).

One of the favorite indoor sports of liberals is to call conservatives, particularly those with the temerity to embrace the tea-party, racist. To hear media-appointed black "leaders" like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpie, not to mention some of the more demagogic members of the Congressional Black Caucus, you'd think all white American conservatives, regardless of protestations to the contrary and spotless lives, are closet Ku-Kluxers who can barely contain their inner Bull Connor. These bigots we're told, given half a chance, would have our black brothers and sisters on the back of the bus again in a heartbeat.

When there's dumbness and demagogy in the air, Hollywood will be heard from. Morgan Freeman, a fine actor who can project intelligence and maturity on the screen, got in on the fun saying Republican efforts to retire Barack O'Barnum next year are "a racist thing," and show "the weak, dark side of America." Samuel L. Jackson, another black actor, echoed Freeman with this analysis of the campaign to replace our socialist president with a conservative: "It all boils down pretty much to race. It's not politics. It's not the economy."

OK, I get it. White conservatives and Republicans (not entirely coterminous categories) aren't really sore with O'Barnum for ballooning the national debt by $4 trillion and making national bankruptcy a real possibility, or for nationalizing one-sixth of the economy through Obamacare and generally trying to push as much as possible from the private to the public sector. It's not about setting federal agencies on a jobs-killing regulation binge, or for traveling the world apologizing for America's alleged sins and bowing before tyrants. It's not his rejection of American exceptionalism and total ignorance of the importance to world stability of a militarily strong America either.

No, no. These items are just trifles. What conservatives are really sore with our community-organizer-in-chief about is that he's not Caucasian. And isn't that just like those racist Republicans?

Kebreau, whose parents immigrated to America from Haiti, is having none of this. Since 2009 he's been on the news, talk shows, and speaking circuit making the point that, though few Americans know it, the record of the Republican Party for a century and a half has not only been more supportive of Black Americans than that of the Democratic Party has, but much more so.

In his Tuesday lecture before a couple hundred GOP activists in Tampa, Kebreau pointed out that the more than a dozen civil rights acts introduced into Congress over the past century and a half were all introduced by Republicans and opposed by Democrats, often vociferously. In each case a higher percentage of Republicans supported real civil rights than Democrats, including the all-important Civil Right Act of 1964. A full 80 percent of Republicans voted in Congress for this game-changing legislation that was the beginning of the end for Jim Crow. Only 63 percent of Democrats supported it, not including Democratic icon and former Ku Klux Klan member Robert C. Byrd, who filibustered it.

One hundred percent of Republicans supported the 13th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which ended slavery, while only 23 percent of Democrats did. The 15th amendment, giving all Americans the right to vote, was a 100 percent to zero percent Republican shutout.

Democrat Woodrow Wilson, our first true progressive president and touted by John Kerry as one of his favorites, segregated the federal civil service and the U.S. military and bears large responsibility for the decades of segregation that followed and the heartache, violence, and death required to put an end to it.

These historical facts are hiding in plain sight. But we live in an age of historical illiteracy. And these are not things members of the main(left)-stream media would like to talk about even if they knew them, which they don't.

Nowadays black voters, usually in percentages north of 90 percent, are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Democratic Party. Things have been trending in this direction since the New Deal, which provided jobs for many unemployed blacks. The last Republican presidential candidate to receive more than 20 percent of the black vote was Tricky Dick in 1960.

Since then black voter devotion to the Democratic Party has been, excuse the expression, slavish. It's a real head-scratcher to me on the academic and personal level why this endures now that so many blacks have entered the great American middle class and higher. I've known, worked with, played ball with, and buried my nose in the happy-hour froth with so many blacks who are personally conservative, but who almost invariably cast their votes for candidates who do not share their values.

In contrast to the gift of freedom and earned dignity, Democrats and liberals have bequeathed black Americans a stifling welfare system that's gone more than a fair long way toward dismantling the black family, as the melancholy statistics on out of wedlock births and one-parent families testify to. The Democrats also invented and cling to the policy of affirmative action, which is not a cure for discrimination but a socially corrosive form of it. There's hardly a more effective way of keeping Americans at war with each other than the racial spoils system of affirmative action, wherein the good things are divided up along racial lines.

Countless groups, like Tampa's Republicans, as well as news junkies, have heard Kebreau make these and other points in pursuit of his stated goal of a truly color-blind society. The only kind of society, in Kebreau's view, which has any chance of enduring peacefully and prosperously.

Kebreau told me he probably won't stay on the road pitching his ideas for the duration, even if he continues to get the standing-O's he received Tuesday night. But he'll stay at it until after the 2012 election, because he's concerned about the socialist direction the country is taking. He sees the freedoms he cherishes being threatened and eroded, and he doesn't like it.

Kebreau will eventually make it back to the cockpit. When his flying days are over he could do worse than consider the classroom. He's an acute thinker, a tireless researcher, and a talented speaker who will not have to pass out NoDoz tablets to his students to keep their attention.

So congratulations to both, Frantz Kebreau, for sharing the TRUTH, and the Writer of this piece, Larry Thornberry, for sharing it. Hey if we can have two Winners of the IWA this week, and we do, then we can have two Winners of the Display of Logic Award.

Obama Administration: White People Are Terrorists

You good Minorities out there, if you see something Report it to a Minority Authority.

Hey folks,

THIS is absolutely absurd. Seriously. Is this an attempt to stir up the Racial Divide? Is it laying the foundation for further Race Wars and incite Violence? Is it an attempt to lay the Ground work for the FURTHER stripping away of our Freedoms and Rights? Truth is, I have no idea what this is. The scary thing is if they ACTUALLY believe this. We are in SERIOUS trouble.

Look, FACTS are FACTS. Who is it that is, and has been attacking us since before we even have a Navy? Yup. Muslims. In fact, and lets forget, that in the past Two Years, ALL the 126 people who were Indicted on Terrorist related Charges in the United States were Muslim. No. We need to target White People. Yup. White People.

You remember a while back, and I got in a bit of trouble for it, I posted the OFFICAL Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment It's called the Freedom of Information Act. So if you are Pro-life, you may be a Right Wing Extremist? If you are anti-Amnesty, you may be a Right Wing Extremist? If you are in the Tea Party, forgetaboutit, yous a Terrorist. You Racist, Bigoted, Chauvinistic, Homophobes out there. Yo! Yeah, I'm talk to YOU. You angry unemployed White Guys. Yous a threat to National Security. And Big Sis is watching you. You dare to question to King Obama? Uh? You dare to question the Thugs, uh, I mean the hard working, smartest People in the Country, the Congress? Yous be careful, or yous be a target. Ya hear me talking to ya? {Sigh}

But NOW we have this. Big Sis and the Homeland Security, has put together a Public Service Announcement. If you see White People acting hinky, go find the nearest Minority Authority Figure and report them. They may very well be a Terrorist. I'm not joking.

According to Prison Planet - Big Sis’ Latest Terrorists: More White Americans By Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com August 17, 2011

Despite causing controversy last month with a video that portrayed white middle class Americans as the most likely terrorists, the Department of Homeland Security has released yet another PSA that depicts an attempt to bomb a subway station not by Al-Qaeda Muslims, but well-dressed white people.

A new Public Service Announcement entitled ‘The Drop Off – If You See Something, Say Something’ was unveiled by none other than Big Sis herself, Janet Napolitano, on the Homeland Security website today.

The PSA, which will be played on television and radio stations, shows a well dressed attractive white woman exiting a taxi before walking into a subway station. The taxi driver – a white man – then makes a phone call and sets a timer on a device in the trunk of the car. The woman then leaves her bag in the station.

“If you see something, say something – report suspicious activity to local authorities,” states the voiceover as the clip ends with other commuters reporting the incident to a black security guard and a black police officer.

{Laughing} You good Minorities out there, if you see something Report it to a Minority Authority. Do not waste your time reporting it to a White Police Officer, they may be Terrorists too. Also beware of White Cabbies. Folks, this is Patently Absurd. But it is NOT the first time.

As we highlighted last month, a longer PSA recently produced by the DHS overwhelmingly went to significant lengths to portray white Americans as the most likely terrorists, despite the fact that the 126 people who were indicted on terrorist-related charges in the United States over the last two years were all Muslim.

Bizarrely, the majority of the people shown reporting suspicious activity to authorities were portrayed as non-whites.

Despite the DHS’ claims to the contrary, many saw the ad as being deliberately racially motivated. Some concluded that this was merely a nod to political correctness while others viewed it as part of a pattern of demonizing white middle class Americans – many of whom are furious with the federal government for all manner of different reasons - as the DHS increasingly targets its anti-terror apparatus against politically motivated citizens.

Of the numerous different scenarios shown in the video, no less than 12 of them depict white people as terrorists whereas only three are non-whites. In addition, of the people depicted as patriotic Americans for reporting the terrorists, only one of them is white, while seven are non-white.

So lets see if we can answer some of the questions I posed in the beginning. Is this an attempt to stir up the Racial Divide? Seems that way. Minorities good. Whites Evil and they need to be reported.

Is it laying the foundation for further Race Wars and incite Violence? It very well could. White person sitting on a bench on a Train Platform, they get up to throw something away, leaving their bag on the Bench, all of a sudden, some Black Cop is investigating them? For no other reason than the fact they are White? What happened to NOT Racial Profiling? Oh I guess that does not include White people. It's just Muslims that we are not allowed to question. Right?

Is it an attempt to lay the Ground work for the FURTHER stripping away of our Freedoms and Rights? YUP! Just like the Right Wing Extremist Report, it is an attempt to give the Government authority to SILENCE and Harass ANYONE, who dares question this Administration. It really is simple to understand. They got NOTHING. So they HAVE to play the Race Card. That is how Obama got Elected in the first place. But now it's more than that. They do not like the Constitution. They do not like Freedom. They HATE it when someone in this country stands up and questions them. If they can successfully label Americans in this Country that disagree with them as Extremists and possible Terrorists, they will then attempt to SCARE others into moving away from them. In other words, shut up, or we will lump YOU in with those Terroristic White Racists out there. You wouldn't like that now would you?

The scary thing is if they ACTUALLY believe this. We are in SERIOUS trouble. We are. They will STOP looking for the REAL Enemy, and they will continue to strip search Granny, molest little kids, and let those that actually ATTACK us, walk right through. Amazing. My hope is though, that the Majority of Americans are done with this nonsense and ready for REAL Hope and Change.

Apologies and Correction For Racial Slur

No malicious intent.

Hey folks,

Anyone who knows me, KNOWS that I am FAR from Racist. Not only do I talk the talk, but I walk the walk. I have taken on organizations and individuals in the past, I have written about Race Relations here many times. I truly believe that if we are to ever have TRUE Equality here in this Country and around the World, we have to start treating EVERYONE Equally. The Good, Bad, and yes, even the Ugly.

I have always called out Racism and those engaged in it whenever it raises it's ugly head. There is still Racism in this Country, and YES, it comes from all sides and in various ways. Whites on Black, Black on White, Mexican on White, White on Mexican, Mexican on Black, ETC. Are the most common. But we also have Racism against Jews {Yes, they ARE a Race of people as well as a Religion} Whenever there is a story about Racism and or Race Relations, I'm quick to discuss it.

So back on March 31, 2009, I posted an Article about how the Gay and Lesbian Communities are starting to feel, well, SCREWED, but Obama. Now he is once again making all these promises to them because he needs the Votes, but they are not buying it this time around. But I was talking about a letter Obama sent promising all this stuff. However, I pointed out his own words saying he is against Gay Marriage and I talked about Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who appeared on "Fox News Sunday," talking about "Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell?"

Gates says both he and President Barack Obama have "a lot on our plates right now." As Gates puts it, "let's push that one down the road a little bit."

Remember this was 2009. So that was the intent of the Article. Yet, in the Headline, I used a word that appears to be a Racial Slur. I have since changed it, but I wanted to apologize again for the use and let you folks know, YOU may be using it as well.

What do you say when you get shorted? When you do not get the full product you paid for, correct Change, or don't get something you worked hard for? Yeah. That word. Gypped- screwed, gyp, jipped, shorted, ripped off, lied to, swindled, cheated, gipped, hosed, ETC. So the Headline read OPNTalk - "Gays and Lesbians Starting To Feel Gypped By Obama"

So just yesterday morning, I recieved this.

Beznik said...
Seriously fags. I only use that word because I am a Romani, the proper word for Gypsy and you just used a super racist word. You know Obama disappointed us too he said insurance companies are gypping us. Like a fourth of one percent of America groaned. I bet Obama or any serious candidate would never say we got Jewed.

So I looked into this a bit more. According to About.com - Five Terms You Might Not Know Are Racist

"Gypped" is arguably the most commonly used racist term in existence today. If someone buys a used car that turns out to be lemon, for instance, he’s likely to complain, “I got gypped.” So, why is the term offensive? Because it equates the Gypsy, or Roma peoples, with being thieves, cheats and con artists. When someone says that they “got gypped,” they are essentially saying that they were conned.

Explained Jake Bowers, editor of Travellers Times, to British newspaper the Telegraph: “Gypped is an offensive word, it’s derived from Gypsy and it’s being used in the same context as a person might once have said they ‘jewed’ somebody if they did an underhand business transaction.” But don’t take Bowers’ word for it. If you’re still debating whether or not to use the verb “gypped,” consider that Philip Durkin, principal etymologist at the Oxford English Dictionary told the Telegraph that there’s “scholarly consensus” that the word originated as a “racial slur.”

So I look up a few more terms I use from time to time to check and see if I'm a Racist {Smile} and what did I find? In this Politically Correct Society, you can not speak. Period. You may be called out for using an offensive word. Here are just a few I learned are Racist.

ABC (UK and AUS) Childish term for African bum-cleaner, can also be Aboriginal bum-cleaner by Australians. Obviously meant as an insult to any non-white person but in children's playground slang it can refer to anyone.[2] American born Chinese

Ann, Yes ANN, the NAME (North America) A white woman to a black person—or a black woman who acts too much like a white one. While Miss Ann, also just plain Ann, is a derisive reference to the white woman, by extension it is applied to any black woman who puts on airs and tries to act like Miss Ann.

Banana (North America; UK) An Asian person living in a Western country (e.g., an Asian American) who is yellow on the outside, white on the inside. Used primarily by Asians to indicate someone who has lost touch with his or her cultural identity.

Brownie (U.S.) a. a person of mixed white and black ancestry; a mulatto. b. (U.S.) a young, brown-skinned person 1940s–1950s.

Charlie Yes the NAME 1) (African-American, 1960s-1970s) A mildly derogatory term used to refer to white people as a reified collective oppressor group, similar to The Man or The System.

2) (Vietnam War military slang) Non-pejorative slang term used by American troops as a shorthand term for Vietnamese guerrillas. Derived from the verbal shorthand for "Victor Charlie", the NATO phonetic alphabet for VC, the abbreviation for Viet Cong. Other references to the Viet Cong included "Mr. Charles" as a rueful admission of the skill at asymmetric warfare

Coconut (US) A person of Hispanic descent who's accused of acting white.(New Zealand) A Pacific Islander. Named after the coconut, the nut from the coconut palm. (UK) A black person who exhibits behavior associated with caucasians; (US) a black person trying to be 'white'. (South Africa) A black person who acts white

Eskimo A native North American from the northernmost inhabitable areas. In some areas it is considered pejorative,

Frog (Canada, UK and US) A French person. Prior to 19th century, referred to the Dutch (as they were stereotyped as being marsh-dwellers). When France became Britain's main enemy, replacing the Dutch, the epithet transferred to them, due to the French recipe for eating frogs' legs (see comparable French term Rosbif). Also used in Canada to refer to both the French and French Canadians, and occasionally incorrectly as more broadly to people from Quebec who are not, in fact, necessarily French or French speaking

Jock, jocky, jockie (UK) A Scottish person, dialect form of personal name John. Occasionally used by the English as an insult. but also in respectful reference to elite Scottish, particularly Highland troops, e.g. the 9th (Scottish) Division. Same vein as the English insult for the French, as Frogs. (US) an athlete, sometimes used pejoratively, as in "dumb jock" (a reference to an athlete with minimal academic skills, a stereotypical belief being s/he was promoted in school simply due to enhance a particular school athletic program) or "pampered jock" (a reference to an athlete getting preferential treatment due to his/her athletic prowess and notoriety, where such treatment – such as reduced punishment for criminal conduct – would not be provided to a non-athlete similarly situated).

Magic Middle A derogatory term meaning, "White on the outside, black on the inside," in reference to upwardly mobile blacks who affect so-called "white" dress and mannerisms, and are successful in "mainstream" careers. Essentially the opposite of Oreo, the term derives its name from another cookie, Keebler's Magic Middles, which are fudge creme surrounded by white shortbread. Compare Oreo.

It goes on and on and on. So really, if someone wanted to make an issue out of it, they could most likely call you on just about ANYTHING you say. "I had some Oreos and Milk with my kid today." "YOU RACIST. You just said that Blacks who wannabe White were hanging out with Whites. You can't say that. You RACIST." {Sigh}

However, in this case, I can see how it is compared to "Jewed," and for that reason, I apologized again to Beznik, and any other Romanis out there. I changed it to "Screwed" which now that I think about it, works SO much better when talking about Obama to the Gay and Lesbian Community.

Careful out there folks. Careful what you say. That Banana may get you into trouble. Be right back.

Show Trial of Rangel, Racism Set Up?

It was all just show.

Hey folks,

Did you catch the Show? It was Show time in the House. Yes, Rangel found GUILTY. "I'm Screwed." "They will not let me hire more Lawyers." " I'm not being afforded Due Process" Then came the Guilty Verdict in Act Two. Then came the Tears in Act Three. Then the Sentence? Rangel to be Censured.

Oh no. Censured. A mark on his file? A nasty letter? Public comment that he has been a bad boy? Oooh. They really took him to task. He was found guilty of 11 House Ethics Violations and failing to report more than $600,000, and failing to pay taxes on Rental Income from a Villa he owns in the Dominican Republic. So? He gets a Slap on the wrist. Oh, some say he may have to pay the Taxes. Uh. Maybe. You try it, see what happens to you.

Meanwhile there is another under,,uh, make that WAS under investigation. According to The Hill - Waters accuses Ethics of having weak case after calling off her trial By Susan Crabtree - 11/19/10 04:13 PM ET

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) accused the ethics committee of having a weak case that is unraveling after the panel abruptly cancelled her public trial.

“The committee’s decision to cancel the hearing and put it off indefinitely demonstrates that the committee does not have a strong case and would not be able to prove any violation has occurred,” she said in a lengthy statement Friday reacting to the announcement.

She also said she was disappointed the committee once again postponed the hearing and said it showed “a complete disregard for due process and fairness.”

“For over a year, I have cooperated with the investigation and I have consistently asked for a public hearing on this matter,” she said. “I remain eager to present my case and demonstrate to my constituents and all Americans that I have not violated any House rules.”

The House ethics committee announced Friday it has delayed indefinitely Waters trial because the panel had discovered new evidence in the case.

So this Show has been put on hold. Most likely because the Players are about to change and they have better things to do. But notice how she is talking about “a complete disregard for due process and fairness.”

So you have TWO Black Congress People calling foul. They both say they are a Victim of the failure to receive "Due Process." Why could this be? Maybe because they are Black? We already know that Waters is quick to play the Race Card. Rangel was trying to save his Butt from, uh, a slap on the wrist. But could they be trying to set up a Racism Defense? Of course they are.

Look folks, the reality is that this is all mere distractions. Shows. Mean nothing. Nothing is going to change for either one of these two. Do not get distracted. We have bigger fish to fry, and more important things to do.
