LET US VOTE OUT THE SPECIAL INTEREST CONGRESSPERSONS-LET THE HEALTH CARE REFORM PUBLIC OPTION VOTE BE OUR GUIDE!!

(WRITTEN December 15, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

These next two weeks of December 14 –30, 2009 are the most critical weeks may be in the resent history of America's Democratic Republic history. Never before with the possible exclusion of going to war has the American voter given an elected Congress so clear a mandate as that of reforming Health Care in America. The voter expected in the magnitude of his vote and the pursing polls that the present private Health Care Industry must be provided some competition by creating ”Public Insurance” option run by the Federal Government! There is no doubt that the way America's Congresspersons create and vote the present Health Care Legislation is an indicator of their dedication to up holding the expectation of them providing services of, by, and for the people that voted them into office.

            This is the classic “Litmus” test for the moral and honest executions of the sown duties of an elected official. It is a simple easy to see issue, “Are our elected officials in office to legally carry out business of, by, and for the people or are they in to do as they as please and in the mean time collect pay-offs for their support of Private Interest of The Pharmaceuticals and Medical Insurers?” Lieberman (received abut $400,000.00) and Boyd (received about 125,000.00) are two glaring example of the way some of our elected officials choose to do business for Private Special Interest in stead of business of and for the voters. Both of these Congressman have been reported to have received large amounts of money followed by the casting of their votes against the competition that a Public Option in the Health Care Reform Legislation that would bring affordable Health Services to more people.

            Moreover, when all this voting is over, any Congressperson that votes against a “Public Option” in the “Health Care Reform Legislation” is not a representative of the people and must be voted out with explanation or subsequent consequent consideration!! The lies, double talk, Casey Stingle like, convoluted politician explanations must not prevail this time. It is did you vote for or against the “Public Option” in the legislation. If you voted for the you are in again! If you voted against it you are out of office in 2010-2012!

President Obama: Federal Government 'Will Go Bankrupt

By: Issac Morgan,

FAMU 2009

IKEMAN HAS A HEADACHE-WHY??? A BLACK STUDENT'S LOOK AT INTEGRATED EDUCATION!! 

PREFACE

“To be truly successful, a person must first establish the highest level of positive ‘self-concept/” For a Black person this preparation must include gaining a solid irrefutable perception of their place in the human chain. In integrated education a Black experiences; Oppression-Tension-Pain (a big headache literally)!!If you are going to higher education and compete in the American predominately white institutions you must carry your place with you. You cannot go in looking for someone to give you a place.

In getting this solid self-concept I have found that attending a historically Black institution, as an undergraduate, is the best place to get this well rounded foundation. With this firm foundation you can be a better competitor in the pluralistic society where the norm is to place you in a place by skin color. You must take you place with you as you sit down to provide your skills in all the situations that you are certain to face.

This is my sincere and best advice that I can provide to my fellow brothers and sisters!” External (individual and institutional white discrimination) discrimination brings for Blacks, Pressure-Tension-Headaches that forces a Black to carry with themselves/internal oppression-tension pain! 

 

                Call me Ikeman!! Issac Morgan they named me. I was blessed by having the greatest Mother a boy could ever have. She was a divorced single and acted as the father, mother, breadwinner and spiritual advisor for my three brothers and me. I am the youngest of the four boys in my family. Without her I am certain that my life would have been an unbearable disaster. She has more love in her little finger than most people have I their whole body. The family had nothing but poverty. But this was a poverty of things. We were rich indeed in the wealth that human love and caring brings!

My brothers were outstanding athletes. They had their place in the Black part of the institution. They had their female following. I was left to compete in the world where a Black scholar was an outcast. And when placed in the accelerated classes, where few Black were I was the mascot. I was nothing! But I did have my headache to keep me company! All the time my headache was with me-God is good all the time-my headache was there all the time!!

As a student I was the victim of what was called integrated schools. This situation found me always in the racial minority, I saw mainly white instructors. These were my authority figures. I was unwittingly convinced that all Blacks were follows and in the minority when it came to the great thinkers of this world. This was my grades one through 12 schooling and it continued when I attended community college for my first two years of higher education. I did what was required of me as best I could and made it through to the AA Degree. Then I tried the atmosphere of another white institution for my last two years to get the BS. I was Ok and doing the passing with the same type of strategies that had gotten me through the other schools. But I began to have these big headaches. Here I was a very young boy walking around with a Headache!

My many trips to the doctor resulted in me getting the famous universal cure all “pills.” It started with one pill and ended up with many. Here I was a boy walking around with a headache and a pocket full of pills, for God’s sake. No body knew the troubles I saw. It was Extreme S-T-R-E-S-S brought about by isolation and alienation!!! Even I did not understand this thing. This day here I was standing on the campus at about 10:00 am. No body around much except my headache and me. I was looking for a place to sit in the mist of many paces to sit. I ended up sitting on the curb holding my miserable head and it ache in my hands. What is this? Who are my peers and where are they? I am alone in a sea of students. Isolated and alienated. My, my how confusing this was. Why is my good head giving me this not so good feeling? I was trying to come to grips with a situation of which I had no grasp. I was the invisible man!!

For some reason I decided to transfer to a Traditionally Black University. This was my place of enlightenment.

            Now here I was in the middle of a sea of Black bodies. There were hordes and hordes of Black beautiful women moving all over the place. They were not the hoochie mamas that were the reticule of other places. They were now the objects of ceremony and pursuits!  I was among the majority!!! This turned out to be an important difference with my situation. My headaches went away. This institution was giving me great images of Black people with great frequency and my instructors were saying some things that up to now were ridiculous to me. Blacks were said to be great contributors in the big and mysterious world. Blacks were central to the pools of important and gifted people of the world. It was as if my instructors were not ashamed to say things that until now were said in passing and with little promoted value. This was my education. This was my foundation. I was getting to think that I was ready to get the things that until now were in my grasp but not in my cards. The stress, tension, and pain of being the mascot in a group of not like me people was gone. I was whole for the first time in my school life!!

          Ah Yes, it’s a sunny, sunny day, God is in his heaven and some part of this paradise called earth just could be mine. Free at last; free at last, thank God All Mighty, I’m Free at last!! Now I am ready to integrate the world!!

            Most Black students have attended grade school where all tier lived they were out numbered by while students and having little notion that Black were people of authority also. That is enough to give anyone a headache!

            I am ready to compete in this pluralistic, multicultural, world!

 

 

SOME AMERICANS STILL DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT AMERICA MUST RECOVER ITS ABILITY TO MANUFACTURE & PRODUCE GOODS AND HIRE THE MIDDLE CLASS WORKER AGAIN!!!

(WRITTEN November 4, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

Obama instituted a plan to buy old "Clunker Automobiles" in exchange for the purchase of an automobile that was more environmentally friendly and to stimulate the American automobile industry. But Americans that took advantage of this offer when out and bought 50+% foreign cars!! (By Kathy Willens, With clunker program over, some fear auto sales drought, USA Today, 8/28/2009)  

Obama recently announced in South Florida that a new plant had been financed to produce wind driven equipment for the production of electrify and to create jobs and stimulate the manufacturing industry here on American soil. But some companies took the money and went to China to buy the equipment generating only 30 jobs in American and over 2000 jobs in China! (Robert L. Borosage" "Chinese-Made Turbines to Fill U.S. Wind Farm", CAMPAING FOR AMERICA’S FUTURE, Wall Street Journal, 10-30-2009)

            How insensitive and stupid can we Americans be not to understand the seriousness of this un-American behavior? Its jobs on American soil for American unemployed workers you idiots!! This “Creed of Greed” in American Business is so deep that only the bottom line is the driving force of services rendered! But the use of the Economic Stimulus funds in this manner is not only Immoral is down right criminal and traitorous!

Say it an’t so Joe!!

OBAMA JUST DON'T GET NO RESPECT NO WAY, NO HOW!!!

(WRITTEN October 8, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

 

            Americans will never really know what is going on in these wars of ours. Did you know that there are 70,000 Blackwater mercenaries paid by the USA government in Afghanistan-Pakistani theater at this very time!! The Nation reports that," Blackwater is bidding on more contracts in Afghanistan, which is increasingly becoming the new gold mine for the war industry. Nearly 70,000 Blackwater contractors/solders are now deployed in Afghanistan on the US government payroll, meaning there are now more contractors there than US soldiers (48,000) in Afghanistan . . . ."(Jeremy Scahill, Blackwater Still Armed in Iraq, The Nation War & Peace Blackwater, August 14, 2009)

            Aside from that Americans must remember that the military has a Commander in Chief named President, Obama. Further the last time a General disagreed with the Commander in Chief, he was fired. Yes, during the Korean War, General Macarthur was fired when he openly went against the war policy of then President Harry Truman!! How then can General McKiernan. (Read more at: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/02/palin-gets-afghanistan-fa_n_131446.html) get away with going to the media with his disagreement with Obama over the conduct of the war in Afghanistan!!

            Is there anyone that will respect the normal position of our President Obama?? General Patton, did not like some orders. But he said a good old solder does their best to carry them out.

            But really my fellow Americans, should we dare to think of the disaster it would be if by some miracle the war(s) would be stopped. Obama would receive a very short lived thanks followed by the return of about a quarter million unemployed fully growed healthy well trained fighting machines to add to the existing unemployment rolls!! Yes, a blessing quickly turning into a national disaster of unimaginable proportions. It’s Obama fault, again!

            Oh what a tangled web we weave if at first we try to deceive!!

            What’s this?? Obama wins Nobel Prize-but US Reporters question the choice! (AOL NEWS, 2009),   The award of this year’s Nobel peace prize to President Obama will be met with widespread incredulity, consternation in many capitals and probably deep embarrassment by the President himself.”  (absurd decision on Obama makes a mockery of the Nobel peace prize,  October 9, 2009)

OBAMA ‘S TASK FROM THE WINNING OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE IS MORE THAN ONE MAN CAN REASONABLY ACCOMPLISH!!

(WRITTEN October 10, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

Obama has brought the immensity of the word “Change and Hope” right down center. (ANDREA STONE, Obama's Win Fits With Nobel History, AOL News, October 10, 2009)   These changes, which will bring the nation and world to the position of peace accompanied with equal prosperity, will need to destroy one basic belief and replace it with another. The basic public belief, which is solidly sold to the public that “The Creed of Greed” which is the foundation of Capitalism and strength, is the only institution on which prosperity can be accomplished. The notion that wealth and prosperity can be based on comfort and “freedom from want” as opposed to excessive consumption and waste, is a concept that capitalist tries not to provide. This philosophy is so set in the minds of people that to dislodge it will take every bit as much propaganda as the selling of Capitalism as the prime institution on which a society can be based. It is in the media and in the textbooks of our educational institutions. If Obama is to bring the passive word "change" to reality of a dynamitic term, he must first attack the very base on which the Nobel Peace Prize and all human hopes are presently formed.  (Patricia Murphy From Silence to Outrage, Republicans React to Nobel News, The CAPITOLIST, 10/9/09)

The public at large has never before consciously considered the notion that humans can show power without the all-powerful power of eminent annihilation! True power has always been associated with violence and the ability to kill those who have opposing thoughts. To conduct compromise and reason is considered today the domain of the weak, pinko, pansies, and bleeding hearts.

            The capitalism as seen today does not know how to converse using empirical information and reason. This type of person is truly without a need to be intelligent or to be well read. He can use lies, fear, and emotion to get where they are going in a more efficient and quicker way than Obama’s tactic of the reason and compromise. To the capitalist, Muslin is an ignorant emotional, cruel, superstitious beast and is moved only by force, threats, and of course the promise of seventy-five virgins. This simple-minded perception is carried to all peoples and nations. Therefore, my Atomic Bomb is greater than your Atomic bomb is a crude but effective tactic no matter how devastating it is to raising the thinking level of the population as a whole!

            In America the capitalist keeps the population preoccupied with trivia while the wealth of the nation is gladly given to the forces that are raping the nation of its resources. Ignorance of racial superiority is used as an effective tool. This is the fear and emotion that we see in the streets that Obama has little chance to solve. It is real and has the intense dogma of a religion! Conservatives are not really afraid of the Blacks or of Obama as an individual! (Jonathan L. Walton, Why Conservatives Are Really Afraid of a Black President, http://www.alternet.org/story/143153/), October 10, 2009 ).   But, they do not hesitate to use it as a cruel tool of distraction while they finish ripping off the public and leaving the citizens as nothing more than slaves.

Yes, money is the modern day title/label of the King and Queen and tyrant of the old days. These concentrations of wealth are the “Thiefdoms” of our day. There has been on change from the practice of the monarchs other than they are not called by that name any more. They are the more numerous CEOs and entrepreneurs of wealth.

WHY ARE AMERICANS CHEERING WHEN THEY LOSE!!!

(WRITTEN October 3, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

            ObamOlympics, ObamaCare, ObamNomics, ObamAcron!! These are the labels of the nations citizens of today, who seem to want Obama to fail. Why? Because he is different and they did not vote for him.

            Today some headlines read, "Obama Looses the Olympic Bid!" Obama did not loose the Olympics, Chicago and America did. (Dave Zirin, Victory: Chicago Loses the Olympics, Nation Magazine, October 2, 2009) After getting the vote that American loss their bid to host the Olympics in 2016, TV showed Conservative clapping, cheering and chanting Obama lost! (Amanda Terkel, Right-Wingers Root Against U.S., Then Celebrate Olympic Bid Failure, Alternet.org, October 2, 2009)    American loss. Is this the sign of a loyal American citizen to cheer America loosing something? Or was thins a cheer that Obama loss an issue for which he made a special effort to secure? The Right Wing Conservative group put it like this, "THE EGO HAS LANDED WORLD REJECTS OBAMA: CHICAGO OUT IN FIRST ROUND!" (The DrudgeReport, October 3, 2009)

            This seem to be a common theme of those who for reasons of their own do not want Obama as president and would go so for as to see the whole nation fail to get back at what they see as a slap in the face of "their America" (Charles Dharapak, Charles Dharapak/AP, AP, October 3, 2009) Some reports say, "2 - Barack Obama may not be feeling it, but he is the luckiest man alive right now. Yes, President Obama traveled all the way to Copenhagen and didn't even get a lousy t-shirt, . . . . but he is damn fortunate it went down like it did. . . . . Every time an Olympic project came in late and over budget, every time a scandal hit the tabloids, every time a crime was captured on a cell phone camera it would have been "Obama's Olympic Folly." Imagine Rush Limbaugh or Glen Beck oozing over to Chicago with every blip in the process. It would have all been at best a distraction and at worst, and endless spigot of champagne for his enemies. . . . ." (Dave Zirin, Nation Magazine, Barack Obama may not be feeling it, but he is the luckiest man alive right now, October 2, 2009)

            Many conservatives are sarcastically saying, " Barack Obama's presidency in recent weeks: that he is loved by many, but feared by none; that he is full of lofty vision, but is actually achieving nothing with his grandiloquence."

            The great mouth, Rush Limbaugh of the “Conservative Republicans in Exile” is bouncing in his chair and yelling that America can’t for ObamCare to be defeated as the next indication that Obama is not president timber!

            Americans are cheering when they are losers. Or are they cheering because they are saying that Obama Lost??

POLL ENCOURAGES AND CHALLENGES OBAMA HARM!!!

(WRITTEN September 28, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

Well, the unthinkable has finally happened. Fox News reported that a Poll on FaceBook asked the question-“ Should President Obama be assassinated? (Joshua Rhett Miller, Secret Service Probing Obama Assassination Poll on Facebook, Fox News, September 28, 2009) It seems that all this speculation about the end of the Racism era has suddenly been answered with in resounding “NO!”

********************************************************

(“A poll was posted on Facebook asking users to vote "should Obama be killed?"

The responses include: "yes," "maybe," "if he cuts my health care," and "no."


Read more at:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/28/obama-facebook-poll-asks_n_301860.html”)

**************************************************************

            But if Americans will not see this and treat it as one of the most important issues in our century it will destroy all of us. President Clinton says that this attack on Obama is not so bad and that it is the same as the attacks that were made on him when ho was president. President Carter states that this is one of the worst eras of blatant overt racism he has seen and that the seriousness is undeniable. This only adds to the confusion of the nature of the viscous attacks that are being made at these Town Meetings and other public demonstration where issues as the Health Care Reform are being presented. The fact is that the Insurance Industry has used the fear and emotion factor to get Americans stirred up into a frenzy to the extent that the violent racist are bound to make a demonstration of their brutal power for cruelty and assassination.

      American must take all steps to silence the financiers of these groups of scary, ignorant people. This is basically the promotion of insurrection and treason for the sake of preserving the base to make profits on the Health issues of a nation. The means does out by any measure justify the means. Terror is not an acceptable activity to get things done in America.

      God Forbid, but what CEO will be held responsible for Obama harm!!

HOW TO GET OUT OF AFGHANISTAN WITHOUT REALLY GETTING OUT!!

(WRITTEN September 26, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

 

Mr. President and Fellow Americans, it is alleged that the mercenary army of Halliburton which is hired and financed in the main by us, the united Stated of America has an army of over 170,000 solders called Consultants. This is more than the regular legal military of the United States during the Iraq war/police action. Why is this important at this time?

            It is important because it provides a real way for Obama to get out of Afghanistan without really getting out. There is an increasing cry by, of all people the Conservatives, for Obama to set a time line for withdrawing from the Afghanistan conflict. It would be relatively easy for the US to with draw it’s regular troops and leave in place this Mercenary Halliburton army for as long as the world allies will stand!! In fact, the USA has in place under contract a support system of supplying of materials and supplies to this army. This includes hardware, ammunitions, food and logistics. If we can over look the immorality of this arrangement The United States can continue this conflict fro many years while declaring that as a nation it is not involved in any wars!!

This will allow Obama to focus his efforts on solving the real problems that have created this hate for America, that of the cruel unrestrained exploitation of the third world countries. This exploitation is driven by the fact that American has allowed the Corporations to set its foreign policies and through these adventures created the conditions that have brought the nation as a whole to war without declaring a war. The Muslims and the Talibans have been attacking the nation because of their mis focus on the Nations policies as practiced by the corporate developed foreign policies which were focused primarily on the profits they were making form the exploiting nations of lesser power and education. This retaliation by the third world groups have become so intense that the religions such Islam has made it a jihad of the highest priority. The governments that have adapted a “Theocratic” form of government are especially active in the only way they have to fight back, that of self-sacrifice and terrorist bombing. It may be prudent for the Corporations CEOs to consider that if these terrorists finally figure who is really responsible for their sadness the focus will be turned in their direction. There will be no place to hide from these militants.

But when and if Obama tries to refocus America’s foreign policy there will be an organized protest so violent that the protests against The Health Care Reform Legislation will look like a picnic in the park!!

ARE THERE SOLUTIONS TO THIS RESURGENCE OF PUBLIC DISPLAYED RACISM, INSURGENCE, DESTRUCTION OF DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY!!

(WRITTEN September 16, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

 

 

After being asked much time, “What is the solution to this problem of racism?” it is fair to try to at least to start adding some substance to this human abnormality.

            Racism is said to be, “Essentially a condition of the human perception that labels another human of a different color or origin as inferior unworthy and proceed to carry out overt acts to place them in a condition of existence and self perception that makes them less than the ones that are the acting their biases!”  It is one thing to be a bigot and powerless to carry out acts to effect the condition of the object group and another to be a bigot and carry act against the object of ones bigotry which would make one a Racist! You cannot stop the condition of bigotry but the overt acts, which come from individual bigotry, which is racism, can be identified and stopped!!

Now in the USA, there has been a long history of bigotry and racism especially against people of color, Blacks or African Americans! This started with a condition of real overt abject slavery of the body and mind, followed by a long period of what was called “Jim Crow” where the forced living conditions of Blacks were conducted by the force of death and oppression in work and all other living conditions.  In the racism of today the so called racist have been somewhat subdued by it being shame in conducting acts of racism and conditions of access tot public social and governmental rights being enforced by some recorded laws and guide lines.

            The racism America is seeing today is the same as seen in the days of slavery and the Jim Crow days. Now what is the solution to this problem?

            Racism is a misplaced belief not supported by any empirical data. Therefore, it is a condition of the hearts of man. No one knows what is in the hearts of man until they commit acts against people who have a common characteristic of things like color. The fact is that even though Americans commit acts of bias based in color they are not so much ashamed of their acts. They are just angry about others saying that they are doing racist things. This may be one hint as to how to resolve some of this racism we see today. It must be an accepted commonplace act of our leaders to call these acts of racism the thing it is and expose the people who are carrying out these acts. This must be followed by all the weight that all laws prohibiting racism and discrimination being brought to bare on the people and/or their organizations. An act o racism must be just as much an act of terrorism as is the bombing of the 'Twin Towers" by militant Muslims. This new racism is no less than “Domestic Terrorism” pure and simple. American must not wait until a tragedy of assignation is committed before committing its secret service and other enforcement agencies to its termination!!

Next, when any business or corporation such as the Health Care Industries finance and other wise carelessly support and encourage racist acts and conduct fear mongering about a group of citizens because of their race, a consequence and penalty must be extracted with great dispatch. At the least these people and organizations must be called before a Congressional Hearing to provide some clarity to their activities and expenditures that are causing unrest and violence. This resent demonstrations of racism and violence is already a serious offense to “Domestic Tranquility”. The faces of the crowd show large amounts of emotion, pent up violence and misdirrected anger! (COLLEEN SLEVIN, FBI searches home of Colorado man in terror probe, My Way News, September 16, 2009)   This is already a condition of the Constitution of the USA!! There are even American leaders advocating succeeding from the union. This is covered by the Insurrection Act of 1807!  (The Insurrection Act of 1807 is the set of laws that govern the US President's ability to deploy troops within the United States to put down lawlessness, insurrection and rebellion. The laws are chiefly contained in 10 U.S.C. § 331 - 10 U.S.C. § 335) Isn’t this prohibited by our constitution? Then again there must be an attempt to enforce this prohibition.

There will never be violent rebellions in the USA. Thank, God for that. American has in its constitution the power to change a governing body or individual(s) by peaceful means. An intelligent informed voting citizenry can vote these offending Congress people and/or Administrator(s) out! If Americans take their campaigns promises as a contract and they violate this contract then they must be removed by automatic default!!

It may take a person wiser than all of us to have the absolute and complete solution the problem of racism!!

RULES OF THE ROAD FOR BLACK PEOPLE!!!

(WRITTEN September 14, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

There is a new Official stage of Black civil rights in the media air. It is called "The Black Assention” stage. After toying with the miss lead notion that after the election of Obama American was in the “Post Black Civil Right" era. This gave birth to this term “Black Assention.” Here again America tries to ignore the fact that the dogged notion that there is a superior race of people and Black are not in the upper levels. But it only takes a little indication that it may be not so out of order to bring forth the rhetoric of racism and the holdovers of “south-will-rise-again” comes on in full voice. This is what has happened with the fight the anti Health Care Reform supporters have rout.

            But the rules of the rode of the old segregation era are still alive and in full force. One of these rules are that Blacks must never, never, confront whites nor try to give them a lecture that makes them look less intelligent or uninformed. When Obama gave his great speech before a joint session of Congress on September 7, 2009 he came off as giving the group of white and Blacks a highly intelligent, lecture of their duty to God, country and self. This is a prime no, no in the rules of the Black-white world. No self respecting white man can accept that any in-his-place Black can have the audacity to show any indication that he has the power and mind to show a white the error of their ways,

            If this was not enough, let us look at the tennis match of Serena and a pretty white opponent. Serena was getting her behind beat and in this tense situation Serena turned to a chine and said some rather harsh words. Now this is not so uncommon in the tennis world. Look at how McEnroe regularly acted in his encounters with the judges and crowd. In this case it started with the way the announcer was describing the match. The white player was described as a beautiful girl who is back rather soon after giving birth to a beautiful little baby. Looking good and in full and excellent physical form. This may have been true but the time given to Serena was son little it was as if there was only important player on the court. Then the spectators at the match were providing great support to the white player and very little to Serena. In fact serene got more time when she made a fault than when she made a brilliant serve or something. If a crowd's support of a player or a team makes a difference in the game then Serena had no chance. In any case Serena then made an unforgivable error. She came over to the judges and violated the prime directive the prime rule of the road. She chastised a superior being. He place in society had just been britches and she had made too big for her britches mistake.

            Now when a thing like this happens a Black must suffer the consequences. They must at the least apologize and apologize and apologize. Serena did this at least ten times on camera. In addition, even though Serena and Venus won the doubles going away that next day their win paled in comparison to the violation of the “in-your-place-rule” of the segregation era.

 

On September 8. 2009 Kanye West stirred quite a controversy when he interrupted Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards. He was wrong but more than that he was crude stupid and wrong. He has apologized more time than we are willing to tolerate. He apologized in the street, he apologized in the hall-He apologized on Jay Leno show. (LYNN ELBER, West takes time for 3rd apology during Leno debut, NY Times, Sep 15, 2009)

 

He even shed a tear for his terrible transgression. Even President Obama had to get in an apology for Kanye when he said he acted as a Jackass. (PATRICK GAVIN, Obama Called Kanye a Jackass Donkey, Poltico.com, 9/14/09)

Let us look at how silly this rule-of-the-road can get. After Joe Wilson. Republican Representative form South Carolina, in the joint meeting of Congress called the President a lie. (MAUREEN DOWD, Boy, Oh, Boy, September 13, 2009) But the President probably did not really know that he had just violated a prime “rule on the road.” Obama is said to be a first of the “Black Assention” (moving on up) group. These Blacks missed the forties and fifties when these rules were taught and kept religiously.  A violation of these rules could get you killed without further cause. He was lecturing these white men and not using the words of some other white leader to make the point while not seeming to take the credit for the thoughts themselves!! President Obama rushed to let him off the hook and just about apologized for him. Now, old Joe is a dyed in the wool Southern Racist by his own track record, Representation, and admission. Joe reluctantly made some sort of weak apology but then in the next minute took back his remorsefulness and reinforced his feeling that Obama was “too big for his britches.” Old Joe has made nearly a million dollars for he rotten racist attitude and behavior.

What may be more pitiful is that Obama may have missed his first best chance to make an acceptable assertive run at facing successfully these new activities of the old Southern Jim Crow era. (Naomi Klein, Has Obama Backed Off of a Big Opportunity to Heal America's Racial Divide?, The Guardian, September 15, 2009, http://www.alternet.org/story/142630/) But Americans cannot really know what the pressures of Obama Presidency really are. We have only to walk a day in his shoes. With this continuing treat of violence he must be mentally alert at every presentation to the public. Maureen Dowd is about the only mainstream reporter who has come right out called it like it is.  This situation is only going to get worse and we must fear for Obama's life.  Fox News, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Ann Coulter and the rest of the radical right are on a mission.  They are hoping they can get just one of their followers to take a shot at Obama. It is their goal and they are getting very close to accomplishing their mission IMO.

OBAMA’S GREAT SPEECH TO CONGRESS-AMERICAN CAN GET PAST THE IGNORANT DIVIDE OF BIAS AND DO GOOD THINGS!!!

(WRITTEN September 9, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

The out burst of Republican Joe Wilson at the joint session of Congress may have served a greater good in an unintended manner. Americans must remember during all the tenure of the Bush Administration it was made un-American to say that the President had or was lying about anything. It was made a taboo to call the President a liar no matter how flagrant the lie was. In fact the closest to calling the president a lie was to say he was not too forthcoming with his information.

But on September in this meeting of the Congress Joe Wilson of South Carolina,  red faced and crude yelled,  “You lie” in the course of Obama’s presentation on Health Care Reform. (LAURIE KELLMAN, Lawmaker Shouts 'You Lie' to Obama, AP, September 8. 2009)  This is but one of many insults that have been openly voiced by the supporters of the “Anti Health Care” gangs. As you remember there was the lady who came to the microphone in a Town Hall Meeting and said, “Give me back my America” when  Speaking of Obama. Then there was the Man who said at a similar meeting, “Kill Obama and his little sassy kids too!!” In addition there was the congresswoman on the floor of the House saying, “Obama is creating a death panel for killing old folks!!” Not to mention Platen the defeated Republican nominee for vice president saying, “Obama is trying to become a dictator and have death panels to kill old people!” There are many other remarks and signs that insulted the president. On CSPAN a caller made it crystal clear that the point of some of the “American Right Wing” was as stated that, “The NEGRO in the white house is not our president and he must be removed at all cost! (CSPAN September 3, 2009)

All of this sad and shameful behavior is the actives of those Dixicrats and Racist Right Wing Republicans that have been residing among the drags of the bottom feeders in American society. They were just waiting for the go ahead to demonstrate their ignorance and cruel hate for a race, Gays, and gender which was so openly expressed in the days of Jim  Crow and Segregation. The Old South has crawled out from under that rock and is trying to rise again!! There is no way to avoid drawing this conclusion now. These protesters are not in any way concentrating of Health Care Reform they are mainly interested in the fact that they are not happy with a Black man being President and they want their Old America back.

Further, this cannot be taken as harmless emotional passing acts. It is an indication of the seriousness of treats to the health of the President, his family and a treat to the nation as a whole. (Don Hazen, Why the Secret Service and FBI Must Investigate Threats Against Obama and Beef Up Security to Protect Him, AlterNet, September 9, 200)  http://www.alternet.org/story/142510/) It is, moreover, exposure to the international community of how flawed the Democracy in America can be!!

This vote on Health Care Reform will be an indicator of more than the merit of the bill. It will be a test of the innate character of our elected officials!!

14 Things You Need to Know About Obama Heckler, Rep. Joe Wilson

By Adele M. Stan, AlterNet 
(CLICK HERE)

WHY WASN'T A SINGLE DEMOCRAT WILLING TO HECKLE BUSH LIKE WILSON DID OBAMA?

(WRITTEN September 11, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

            In a joint meeting of the Congress the South Carolina Representative, Joe Wilson, interrupted President Obama with “you lie” in the mist of a great speech to the nation on Health Care Reform legislation! I took the pressure of both Republicans and Democrats to get Joe to make any kind of apology to President Obama. (Mark Ames, Why Wasn't There A Single Democrat Willing To Heckle Bush Like Joe Wilson Did Obama?, author of Going Postal: Rage, Murder and Rebellion from Reagan’s Workplaces to Clinton’s Columbine., 2009)

            First, it must b e said that Joe was wrong in his facts when hr choose to call Obama a lie about the inclusion of illegal immigrants coverage in the proposed legislation. Secondly, the act of disrespecting a President in a Congressional session is just not done and has been deemed unacceptable. And lastly, the act of calling a President a lie has been made an act that is just not done at any tine by the media. But then Obama is a new type of President. He is fighting for respect not because of his ability, intellect, or patriotism. He is under attack because of his race, the first Black President in the history of the United States of America. Conservatives say that the characteristic of a liberal/progressive/intellectual is one who is weak, milk toasty, non-aggressive, cerebral lard bricks, not to be feared in a real fight!

            In addition, after Joe made this all to obvious racist outburst, he is reported to have raised over $250,000.00 that night. Is this any thing but the indication that his crude and insulting act was what some Americans wanted to see? Writer Mar Ames described this act as,Wilson’s outburst should make Democrats flush their own heads down the nearest toilet in shame for being such spineless pieces of s--t right at the time that America needed an opposition most–a noisy, vicious, unpredictable opposition–to save the nation, us, and our grandchildren. Instead, they were polite, and they’re still proud of how polite they were.”

While most liberals are collectively shaking their hollow, hidden liberal fists at the nerve of a Confederate goon named Joe Wilson, we must keep in mind the real lesson: Those of us who remember where a bunch of spineless pieces of  Democrats were when the country needed some strong liberals to save the nation from the crisis of the century. This was a time when a little heckling and threatening of our Dummy-In-Chief could have made a difference. Democrats could have taken a risk and possibly saved America from that hyperactive retard Bush. Just one “Liar!” from a Congressman or Congresswoman during Bush’s 2003 pied-piper dance could have stopped America from committing an obscene genocide on Iraqi people.

In the continuing effort to keep up the perception that there is a ground swill of citizens against Obama and the Health Care Reform Legislation, The Medical Industry is estimated to have spent about $300 million dollars on consultants, media, printed material, transpiration, etc. to date. The latest demonstration was held on September 12, 2009 in a sponsored march on Washington. Fox TV reported that there ere millions attending this event called “Tea Bagging!!” (Adele M. Stan, Photo Gallery: Tens of Thousands Right-Wing Activists March on Washington, AlterNet, September 12, 2009)

 The act by Joe Wilson was held up as a martyr's stand against the Obama Administration and hi socialist programs. The many testimonies of the attendees reflected the sane old anti Obama anti Black rhetoric. Most of the people interviewed not even understand what the Health Legislation said.

Without any good researching of the label ”Tea Bagging” the Republicans hit upon the long used practice of good old boy committing some mischief by getting one of their own drunk and while they were out from drinking  "White Lightening Liquor” these mischief boys playing this joke, took out their privates, squared over their comrades face and took pictures of their scrotum hanging in the face of the poor object of this humiliation! (LO)

It is time that the media played down the inflammatory rhetoric that is making the mentally weak citizen act out their emotions. It is reported that there is 46 times more threats against the life of Obama than any other President in history. (EILEEN SULLIVAN, Threats Against Obama Unprecedented, AP, September 10, 2009)

 THE MOST POWERFUL OF ALL FIVE INSTITUTION OF OUR CIVILIZED SOCIETY IS THE ECONOMIC INSTITUTION, AMERICAN STYLE CAPITALISM-OPPRESSIVE, EXPLOITIVE, VIOLENT!!

(WRITTEN September 2, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

With all this upheaval America and the world may not really have the problems identified yet or they just do not want to admit the real problem source. If we look at the universal vehicle of power that has and is making the nation and the world dance it is obvious that he who controls the wealth/money controls the entire world and its institutions. As we start to look at this problem please remember that it is not the group or the man that is important it is the system of control.

This seems to have been recognized in the early eighteenth century. When kings and Queens wanted to do business and move large resources of Gold, silver, and precious jewels they had to send them by overland and sea modes of transpiration. This made it easy for enterprising pirates to hijack the ransoms as they were moved about and make off with the booty. But then a very smart tribe or group of people got together and concluded that if they could take responsibility for this movement of wealth they would have control of the life blood of the nations. This brilliance was attributed to the Rothschilds. These people form a trust group, a The Rothschild Octopus, with tentacles in many countries and moved or made transactions by the words or mouth or passage of paper promises sent from one person to another.  The group required that the loyalty must be under consequence or of death for its violation and require a dedication as the dogma of a religion!

The Rothschilds took the American Banking Industry in 1813. (Thomas D. Schauf, THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS A PRIVATELY OWNED CORPORATION, Americans Have Been Deceived and Stolen From by the Privately Held Federal Reserve Banking System, 1992)  Rothschild, a London Banker, wrote a letter saying, "It (Central Bank ) gives the National Bank almost complete control of national finance. The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favours, that there will be no opposition from that class...The great body of the people, mentally incapable of comprehending, will bear its burden without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical (contrary) to their interests." The Rothschilds idea/seed/organization did not die, they simply depart into history, and their place/system is inconspicuously taken by their sons and grandsons.

This meant that no one would know when money was being sent and the debts were easily and promptly paid on the receiver end. This required a profound condition of trust one in the other and a system of insuring that no one would or could betray the trust of the other and honor the security of moving wreath. It is not so important to dwell on the who as to dwell on the system that is live, powerful, ongoing and dangerous to the health of nations! If you understand this system you can see that in America the movement of money is the foundation of  well-being of the nation. When a central bank (i. e. The Federal Reserve) controls the money lines and raises the interest it is felt by all pipelines of money in the country. It appears that President Andrew Jackson was the only one of our presidents whose administration totally understood this system when he abolished the National Debt, condemned the international bankers as a "den of vipers" which he was determined to "rout out" of the fabric of American life. Jackson claimed that if only the American people understood how these vipers operated on the American scene "there would a revolution before morning."  This was a clean and open strike at the Rothschild plan for world control and money profiteering. 

            Moreover, it would be useful to list briefly the chartered intent of this Rothschild monster. The Rothschild plans were comprehensive and long range. They included the areas of, Population control, Food control (i.e. change in weather), Control of freshwater, Control of energy, Control of weaponry, Control of politics, and etc.. The Rothschild cartel/system owns about 94% of communications in the USA!! 

What has effectively brought down America and the world was Wall Street Casino, Packaging or "Derivatives.” In this scheme, bad or toxic mortgages were packaged with to some good and sold on world market. This Allowed insider speculators to buy or bet for pennies, on a Derivative to go down while buying insurance on the bad investment then collecting on the loss and still owning the property. American Government guaranteed these investments! However, when the debts were called in in-mass the speculators took their profits sent the money out of country and closed down the functioning of the whole world. 

            It is easily seen that Americans are free to be free in the circle of institutions that leave the money system alone. All of this racism, sexism, gay movement, death panel for killing old folk, Medical Care Reform, FEMA, Terrorist Act, “The Intellectually Challenged, Emotionally Ignorant” hollowing, “give me back my America,” and etc is nothing but a side show inside a side show. This chaos only makes it possible for the money-changers to operate without notice or protest! What must be realized is that until the life's blood, money, of the engine is taken under government control, all the posturing and energy of making and keeping resources is only done at the pleasure of the people, who move the money.

 

It will take a brilliant powerful leader to bring down this evil from the backs of society. But we all can do what we must! Raise our voices loud and often!!

EDWARD KENNEDY’S LEGACY OF PROGRESSIVE LEADERSHIP MUST BE CONTINUED!!

(WRITTEN August 25, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

Today Senator Edward Kennedy passed (1932-2009); He was indeed the pathname of progressive legislative leaders. He gave “Hope” to the America, which at time could see no hope. Good progressive leaders come but they go all to soon!! Edward we all love you and will miss you!!

Then came Obama, who was supported by Edward Kennedy, He also gave Americans: "Hope” in a time when “Crisis” was the big “C” functional term. But remember the voters never seem to remember the old adage, "Hope in one hand and piss in the other, and see which one fills up first." Having over seventy percent of voters giving him a left hand filled with “Hope” Obama was elected.

            Then the “Far Right Wing” groups full of piss and vinegar, pissed in his right hand. Obama’s right hand has filled up with enough right wing urine to over run the right hand and is treating to swamp the whole boat. American’s must realize that unless they supplement their well placed “Hope” with an equal volume of urine (Backbone) their hope will be drowned and they will be lost forever.

            This is what we see happening to the Health Care Reformation Legislation. It is but a vivid demonstration of the damage the “NO” Republicans have been doing the all legislation Obama has been attempting in carrying out to meet the mandates of the seventy percent “Hope” American voters.

            Now is the time for all good Americans to come to the aid of their country. That is why Progressive Bloggers receive so much static from rebuttals of the ambushing Conservative Limbuaghs as they lurk ready with their media weapons and keyboards armed with volumes of misinformation, lies, and vitriol while using things as FOX News, www. Etc. as vehicles to poison the public’s soft minds and hordes waiting for another dose of stupidly!!

            Health Care Reform was just the highly visible issue where the power and determination of America’s greatest enemies are lurking. They have no right to claim patriotism and loyalty to the good of our nation or its citizens. This is the act of Greedy, selfish, criminal, immoral, citizens living and enjoying the hard fought for freedoms of our America. “Give us back our America with some needed changes.” This is what we all should be shouting, but not for the reasons that we see in the Far Right Wing ringers that are paid for, organized, and scripted by the big money of Republican Party, Medical Insurers, and other Medical Industry Institutions

            Some polls are showing that Obama is going down in approval. This further confuses the public. But there is a very good reason for this besides the fact that some of these polls are being conducted by the opposition to progress. The American public is back to believing in not believing. You know, it's that old, "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame of me," thing. Only we've been fooled so many times we're beyond shame. We're just exhausted and jaded. It is unbelievable that the same game is being run time and time again. No one could think that Americans are that stupid. Americans can think to you know.

            The Edward Kennedys are few and far between. That is why the ones who come after must be assisted in building on the shoulders of these giants among men and Woman! This is where good Journalism can do its thing and reestablish its important position in a free and progressive society.

JUMP IN AND HELP YOUR FELLOW AMERICAN AND OBAMA TO GIVE US BACK OUR AMERICA!!

(WRITTEN August 22, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

America is watching it’s most powerful practitioners of the Freedom of Speech go down the virtual drain. Investigative Journalism is dying and a peculiar animal called “News Show for Ratings” is muscling it’s foul body on the stage of the interrupter of truth in a free society. News has become nothing more than a spin vehicle for the well healed and powerful. Heavens knows that the Giants of this honorable institution are turning over in their graves. The Edward R. Murrows,  Bernard Shaws, Dan Rathers, etc. are seeing their hard work building this institution succumb to the whelms of the shallow, opportunist, evil, and feeble minded. (PRADNYA JOSHI, F.T.C. to Assess Business of News, How will Journalism survive the www age, New York Times, August 23, 2009)

With the exception of such people as Chis Matthews, Rachel Maddow, Katie Couric, Manik Saha, Keith Olbermann, Ed Bradley, George Stephanopoulos the viewing public is seeing nothing more than a propaganda ratings machine and spin presentation. The truth is that these “News Shows” presentations are seldom investigated by going directly to the information base and providing the public the Truth. This leaves the American with nothing more than emotional and schams of fear and destruction for no good cause.

Americans would have never known that there were no WMD if a journalist had not run the risk of being destroyed because they were getting facts and truth from the source of the news. In fact, even today the reporting of WMD by leaders of power has left numbers of citizens still believing in  the non existent dangers. Take look at the simple minded Americans who are attending Town Hall Meetings emotionally crying, “Give me my America back!” They do not really have any idea of what they want back in  their America!! If it was not for the www this excess propaganda machine would have steamed rolled over the land shape with no notice of what was happening.

            This is a critical time for such things as Blogging and letters to the editor by the average citizen. Yes, give us back our America with some needed changes!

IS ANY ONE CAUSING A NEW CIVIL WAR ???

(WRITTEN August 18, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

An article dated August 22, 2009, asked the question, “Is Obama creating a civil war in America?” (Voight, Is Obama creating a civil war in America?”, Washington Post, August 22, 2009) This would only precipitate discussion about Obama as a troublemaker. A more appropriate question would have been, “Is Obama or The Republicans and the Medical Institutions creating a civil War climate in America?”

Looking at the actors in the present Health Care Reform Town Hall Meetings there are at least three identifiable groups involved. There are the Republican Far Right Wing Dixicrats, The Medical Industry that are really financing the organized opposition to the legislation, and the Administration that is promoting The anti Health Care Reform people have swept up many side groups as, the KKK, Militia, Dick Army, Neo Nazis, skin heads. Etc. Reform. However, the Republicans and the Medical industry operators are sending in the groups that are deliberately creating violent confrontations and brandishing weapons!! Further, it is the Republican Governors that are promoting succession form the union and the Health Care Legislation-how ever that could happen.

In addition, as another example of the atmosphere that this Health Care opposition has created, the Governor of NY stated, “the chorus of people who believe he should not run for election next year want to keep him out of the race because he is black-and Obama is next!” It is not only the Health Care that these protesters are ranting against. It is the change in the condition of America's Black citizens in the political and social structure. Recall the white women at these meetings crying and screaming, “Give me back my America!” A statement which had nothing to do with the subject of the meetings which was that of Health Care Reform. Further, the specter of Domestic Terrorism raises it ugly, bloody head.

In an article posted by Southern Poverty Law Center, on August 22, 2009, recorded the groups and plots of domestic groups between July 1995 and June 2009.

As example of these Domestic groups and plots,

1.      July 28, 1995 Antigovernment extremist Charles Ray Polk is arrested after trying to purchase a machine gun from an undercover police officer, and is later indicted by federal grand jury for plotting to blow up the Internal Revenue Service building in Austin, Texas,

2.      November 9, 1995 Oklahoma Constitutional Militia leader Willie Ray Lampley, his wife Cecilia and another man, John Dare Baird, are arrested as they prepare explosives to bomb numerous targets, including the Southern Poverty Law Center, gay bars and abortion clinics. , 

3.      April 22, 1997 Three Ku Klux Klan members are arrested in a plot to blow up a natural gas refinery outside Fort Worth, Texas, after local Klan leader Robert Spence gets cold feet and goes to the FBI. The three, along with a fourth arrested later, expected to kill a huge number of people with the blast — authorities later say as many as 30,000 might have died —

4.      August 10, 1999 Buford Furrow, a former member of the neo-Nazi Aryan Nations who has been living with the widow of slain terrorist leader Bob Mathews, strides into a Jewish community center near Los Angeles and fires more than 70 bullets, wounding three boys, a teenage girl and a woman.

5.      August 24, 2008 White supremacists Shawn Robert Adolf, Tharin Robert Gartrell and Nathan D. Johnson are arrested in Denver during the Democratic National Convention on weapons charges and for possession of amphetamines. Although police say they talked about assassinating presidential candidate Barack Obama,

6.      April 25, 2009  Joshua Cartwright, a Florida National Guardsman, allegedly shoots to death two Okaloosa County, Fla., sheriff's deputies — Burt Lopez and Warren "Skip" York — at a gun range as the officers attempt to arrest Cartwright on domestic violence charges. After fleeing the scene, Cartwright is fatally shot during a gun battle with pursuing officers. Cartwright's wife later tells investigators that her husband was "severely disturbed" that Barack Obama has been elected president. 

7.       June 25, 2009 Longtime white supremacist Dennis Mahon and his brother Daniel are indicted in Arizona in connection with a mail bomb sent in 2004 to a diversity office in Scottsdale that injured three people. Mahon, formerly tied to the neo-Nazi White Aryan Resistance (WAR) group, allegedly left a phone message at the office saying that "the White Aryan Resistance is growing in Scottsdale.

 

 

(Southern Poverty Law Center, Terror from the Right: 75 Plots, Conspiracies and Racist Rampages Since Oklahoma City, August 22, 2009, Http://www.alternet.org/story/142123/)

      So you see the Question, “Is Obama creating a civil war in America?” is directing the public's attention to the wrong causal factor. It is most obvious that the well organized and financed protests are causing any atmosphere for a civil war-God forbid!!

AMERICA MUST PROTECT OUR COUNTRY FROM THE THREAT OF OVER THROW FROM WITHIN AS WELL AS FROM WITHOUT!!

(WRITTEN August 18, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

It is time that Americans ask the question, “How many incidence of people carrying guns at President Obama’s public meetings has to occur before it is treated as a national crisis??-and further, would this be treated so casually if the President were a Reagan or Bush??” Can you recall the time when if a person would even speak of doing violence to a president they would be taken off the street and thoroughly locked up and investigated for life? (As a side bar-did you notice that one of these foolish Americans was a Black man. Which proves that fools sick-os and racist may come in all colors!  I have never seen a Black Klansman and I never hope to see one, but I’d rather see than be one. )

            On August 17, 2009 the FBI reported that there war at least a dozen protesters in the vicinity of the meeting hall where President Obama was speaking! AMANDA LEE MYERS and TERRY TANG reported that, “About a dozen people carrying guns, including one with a military-style rifle, milled among protesters outside the convention center where President Barack Obama was giving a speech Monday” the latest incident in which protesters have openly displayed firearms near the president.

Gun-rights advocates say they're exercising their constitutional right to bear arms and protest, while those who argue for more gun control say it could be a disaster waiting to happen.

Skip over this content “ (AMANDA LEE MYERS and TERRY TANG, Several Gun-Toters Attend Obama Protest, AP, August 17, 2009) This was about the fifth meeting where people carrying guns were identified attending Obama public meetings.

Last week, during Obama's health care town hall in Portsmouth, N.H., a man carrying a sign reading "It is time to water the tree of liberty" stood outside with a pistol strapped to his leg. (Alex Brandon, President Barack Obama addressed the Veterans of Foreign Wars National Convention in Phoenix on Monday. Outside the event,, Politics Daily: Free Speech vs. Hate Speech, AP, August 17, 2009)

            This type of behavior is being promoted by the groups funded by the Medical Industry as they assault the process of considering the Health Care Reform Legislation. Number one, isn’t it a mark of organized terrorism and insurrection for an identified group to be spending more than $1.6 million dollars pre day organizing, promoting, and conducting activities that threaten the stability of the sovereign nation of the US?

            We must agree with Fred Solop, a Northern Arizona University political scientist, when he said, “the incidents in New Hampshire and Arizona could signal the beginning of a disturbing trend. . . . .When you start to bring guns to political rallies, it does layer on another level of concern and significance," Solop said. "It actually becomes quite scary for many people. It creates a chilling effect in the ability of our society to carry on honest communication."

American seems to be taking this open and obvious threat too any of our Presidents too lightly weather they are Black or White!! We should like to think that any time there is such a threat identified our government would carry out it's primary function of protecting the Constitution and Union from the groups that may want bring down out American way of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness!!

Inside Story on Town Hall Riots: Right-Wing Shock Troops Do Corporate America's Dirty Work

By Adele M. Stan, AlterNet
Posted on August 10, 2009, Printed on August 10, 2009
http://www.alternet.org/story/141860/

“The recent spate of town hall dustups may look like an overnight sensation, but they've been years, even decades, in the making.

Since the days in the late 1970s, when the New Right began its takeover of the Republican Party, it has cultivated a militia of white people (i. e. Dixicrates) armed with a grudge against those who brought forth the social changes of the '60s (e. g. Civil Rights).

These malcontents (e. g. white male Joe six packs, who have lost their automatic place as better than Blacks, racists, sexists, anti-gay, ignorant emotional, violent hanging-tree enthusiasts,) have been promised their day of retribution, a day for which they are more than ready. Few seem to understand that they are merely dupes for a corporate agenda that will only worsen the conditions in which they live.

Why, you may ask, would men of power and fame shake the rough, unmanicured hands of gun enthusiasts, conspiracy theorists, gay-haters, misogynists and racists?

Because somebody's got to do the dirty work. Magnates don't like to soil their French cuffs, and it's hard for a bunch of rich guys to garner sympathy for threats to their bottom lines. It's the classic inside-outside game that the right wing of the GOP has played for the last two decades….”

RELIGIOUS LEADERS AT THE TOWN HALL MEETINGS COULD RESOLVE PROBLEMS!!

(WRITTEN August 9, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

There just may be a way to bring these operatives for evil that are disrupting the Town Hall Meeting on Health Care Reform to a stand still. Just consider what would happen if The Congresspersons had a Minister of any religion at the meetings. Their objective would be to at the time of undeniable disruption call the meeting to prayer.

If it was a Black Baptist Preacher just think how long they can hold a prayer. They touch your heartstrings. They can reach down though your head and pull your heart right though the top of your head. They can call on your poor old mother and remind you how they would work from sun up to sun down while carrying you on their back. They could work until their hands couldn't close and became two claws preeminently in a fixed position of pain and anguish. They could tell you of the rheumatism their legs that made them push one foot and drag the other to move through the rows of cotton-how the pain in their backs was so bad that they had to bite their lip to avoid crying out with each move they made. They could tell you how the sun to can't see days ended with a calling to feed the others. And how the cries of the children were sorrowful and mourning. They could pray for hours until the disrupter would have to give up or commit acts of overt violence on the minister of the faith!!

            No kidding a minister at these meetings would provide another dimension that would befuddle even the Dixicrats and Limbaughs!!

THESE DISRUPTIONS OF THE TOWN MEETING BEING HELD TO DISCUSS THE HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION ARE NO LESS THAN AN ASSAULT ON THE AMERICAN RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH!!

(WRITTEN August 7, 2009)(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

North Floridians have just received an email form its Congressperson Allen Boyd (Dem. Florida), who announced that he was having Town meetings on Health Care Reform Legislation in North Florida (e. g. Tuesday, August 25 Tallahassee Community Forum, 6:00 p.m., City of Tallahassee City Hall, 300 South Adams Street, Tallahassee, Florida and Quincy Community Forum, 1:00 p.m. William A. “Bill” McGill Library, 732 Pat Thomas Highway, Quincy, Florida) In addition, and more importantly, the email proceeded to report the many disruptive incidents being experienced in similar such meeting around American recently. (Jake Wagman, Citing safety concerns, U. City cancels McCaskills event, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 08.07.2009)

            If you stop to think this is pure and unabated “Domestic Political Terrorism” being organized, financed, and carried out by the Medical Industry in America. For example in Tampa on August 6, 2009 it was reported that the organized mob assaulted the attending participants leaving some scratched, banged up and bleeding. The Town Hall Meeting had to be called off by the Law Enforcement to prevent further serious damage to citizens. There has been many expressions of being afraid and terrorized by this domestic terrorist group that are preventing the people from exercising tier rights to free speech without the interference of intimidation by government or other citizens. This is a specter of ”Political Domestic Terrorism” pure and simple.

But American has a special Law against terrorist. If there was ever a time when this law was needed it is certainly at this time and on these people!! This is America's Domestic Taliban and it is a definite threat to our American principals and way of life. Through their acid rhetoric they all but say go kill someone. It is as though they are placing a loaded gun in a glass-faced box on the wall with a sign saying break the glass went so inclined. This is what has caused the escalation in shootings by so called deranged citizens lately. (Rachael Maddow, MSNBC, August 7, 2009) Let the anti terrorist laws be used to take out this treat to Democracy and our political process. It is all right to be loud and insistent in presenting points of view. However, these organized mobs are cutting off any dialogue and debate on the issue at hand.

THE FIGHT IS NO TO REFORM AMERICA'S SICK HEALTH CARE SYSTEM!!

(WRITTEN August 3, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

 

The Congress is out and on its way home to present the important Health Care Reform Legislation to their respective constituents. But the fright is on this time. In the first few attempted Town Hall style meetings Congresspersons received the indication of what the Medical Insurance, HMOs and Republicans have in story for its opposition to this needed health reform. The Drudge Report writes, “TOWN HALLS TURN TO 'TOWN HELLS'....  (Alex Isenstadt and Abby Phillip, Dems' break looking like a bad trip, POLITICO, August 4, 2009) The cost of Medical care in the US is about ten times that of any industrialized nation in the world! Americans have accepted Medical care as a privilege of the wealthy few instead of a right of all citizens. This industry makes more profit than any other business in the nation and off the misery of the citizens!

            There is a well-financed, professionally organized plan to disrupt and intimidate all the Town Meetings and its participants. Bullies and thugs are seen with planted questions, loud voices and threatening challenges to all other participants in these meetings. It is alleged that a number of these thugs and most of the “Blue Dogs: are paid well have their work against the Health Care Reform Legislation! Reports show that this campaign is well financed by Corporate Public Relations and executives of the Medical Industrial Complex. The Insurance Companies alone are spending $1.4 Million Dollars per day in this campaign. This is enough to provide each and every Senator in Congress directly about $30,000.00 per day! (Jan Frel, Olbermann Rips into the Worst Sellouts on Health Care in Congress, MSNBC, August 4, 2009)

            In addition, serious notice must be given to the Republican Party of “NO” that is infected with an inordinate number of the Dixicrates left over from the Reagan strategy of the nineties. (Howard Dean, Howard Dean: How Republican Attack Dogs Plan to Thwart Health Reform, Chelsea Green Publishing.  August 3, 2009) They have been sitting these in the Far Right Wing of the Republican Party and are now a significant part of what is left of the present day members. They have been essentially silent until now. (Leslie Savan, The Ugly Racism of the Right Will Be Their Undoing, TheNation.com, August 3, 2009)

 However, they are they Southerners who ran from the Democratic Party and have maintained their vicious, sexist, racism, King Cotton, Jim Crow mindset. Until now they have not been allowed to voice their feeling because it would drive all Multicultural American to distraction, (Jake Wagman, Citing safety concerns, U. City cancels McCaskills event, AP, August 8, 2009)  These are the ignorant, Bible Thumping throw backs to a time better forgotten. There will be not only extreme rhetoric against Health Care Reform but personal attacks on Obama's race, his claim to citizenship, integration of public places, evolution, the world being round, and many more issues of plain unadulterated ignorance and evil! (Byard Duncan, Condemn CNN for Its Lou Dobbs "Birther" Fiasco, AlterNet. August 4, 2009)

            Americans must not sit by feeling that they are powerless to effect this legislation. All Americans have the individual power of speech and the vote on their representative. At this time we must speak out using every medium at our disposal, especially that of Blogging!

THE SPECTER OF WHITE MALE SUPERIORITY IS HURTING ALL GROUPS IN AMERICA!!

(WRITTEN July 21, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

  

Well, it has finally come to the full recognition that Our white male brothers have managed to substitute their arrogance for knowledge and brought our nation to a preface of disaster. (Liz Langley, Is America's Love Affair with Stupidity Finally Over?, AlterNet,January 14, 2009,      http://www.alternet.org/story/119283/) 

As a nation we have refused to acknowledge that this acceptance of the white male as the superior in intellect to the extent that they are not usually challenged no matter how ignorant their notions are. They have come to tell lies without considering the consequences or the harm they do when the public takes this bull and try to live by it.  

            For some time Americans accepted the obvious and deliberate lie that Iraq had WMD and allowed our boys and girls to go and die on the bases of this lie. Now some really extreme white males are fighting against the passing a much need Health Care Reform Bill using the same old tactic that what I say as a white Male must be true and beyond challenge regardless how silly and unforgivable the lie is. They have hired the best PR firm and the latest ads are going like this, “(A lady was talking to the Camer and saying) I had cancer and being in Canada on Socialist Health care I was dying. I tried to get a specialist and a bureaucrat put me on a long waiting list, by a government bureaucrat. I came to America where I got care immediately and my life was saved. Why would American want to turn their Health Care and lives over to the decisions Bureaucrats??” 

            In the hearings on Sotomayor for Supreme Court Judge, Republican, Jeff Sessions of Alabama, The Chairman of the panel and the senior Republican and who was himself turned down by this same committee when he was being considered for this position earlier. Sessions was harassing Sotomayor by asking over and over again, “You said in a previous speech that Hispanic Judges would be better and more effective then white male judges when considering many cases that come before the court? Don’t you think that this is showing prejudice?” (The 10 Dumbest Things Republicans Have Said About the Sotomayor Hearings, By AlterNet Staff, AlterNet. Posted July 15, 2009). 

        In addition, why have the Banking Industry taken the Stimulus Funds and given their CEOs bonuses and stock options in blatant defiance of the governments and American publics potential negative reaction. It is again the result of the arrogance based in “we can do any thing and not have to explain it to the simpleminded public. They will believe it regardless. Matt Tabby (writer) reports in part, “So what’s wrong with Goldman posting $3.44 billion in second-quarter profits, what’s wrong with the company so far earmarking $11.4 billion in compensation for its employees? What’s wrong is that this is a not free-market earnings but an almost pure state subsidy. .. . . .Wall Street, once rescued, would pump money back into the economy, create jobs, and initiate a widespread recovery . . . . .the same guys who had just blown up the financial world. We’d save their a--es, they’d save ours . . . .” They took our Bail out money and did what was best for them! (Matt Taibbi, The Scandal Continues: The Billions in Govt. Cash Behind Goldman's "Profits", alternet, July 17, 2009) This is just another arrogant act based in the proposition that a Superior person cannot be challenged! 

            It is not so much that these Republicans are fighting with all they can muster – the sadness is that they are using that same old tactic that as white males we can say any thing and it will be accepted as fact because we always have the knowledge of what we are doing! The specter of white male superiority is hurting America as a whole by not requiring the white male to do his homework and secondly by making it unpopular for the rest in the nation to challenge lies and deception! When Americans get past this belief of superiority of a group notion the whole IQ of the nation will be raised to a new historical level! (Courtney E. Martin, The Dominance of Rich, White Men Is Eroding -- It's Time to Truly Fight for Diversitym,  AlterNet, July 29, 2009, http://www.alternet.org/story/141105)  The insensitive that hard work can do wonders for all groups will see the process of dumbing down American a thing of the past and the days of the "Empty Suit Empty Headed Politicians" will meet a timely death!!

THESE RACIAL ISSUES ARE OBAMA’S “TAR BABY” FOR FAILURE!

(WRITTEN July 25, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

 

Picture this if you will. A little old man Harvard Professor, Henry Louis Gates, who happened to be a handicapped Black, handcuffed to his walking cane after being mistaken for breaking into a house that just happened to be his

            But even Solomon Obama in his “Presentation on Health Care Reform” was wrong for saying anything about this unfortunate Law Officer, who was “acting stupidly” This is a “Tar Baby (Uncle Remus stories. . . . about Br'er Rabbit that fought the Tar-Baby, the more entangled he became. Tar baby" refers to any "sticky situation) standing in the “quick sand” of America's racist swamps!! Obama will get stuck to the “Tar Baby” and sink deeper and deeper while the real problem makers laugh and make the feathers to tar and feather Obama! Come on now the Rush Limbaughs and the “NO” party of the waiting Republican ”Right Wingers”, Who play these games as a “Blood Sport!” Even more the “died in the wool” “Uncle Toms” Blacks will jump in to protect their Owners (The slave syndrome)! They will be saying, “Is we mad Mr. Boss man. Is we gonner do something. I an’t like Gates!” Jessie Bell will jump Gates like he is a riding bronco. The pundits will be hogging the camera like it was the last picture before the last supper! Things will be bad and we all my loose by this diversion from Health Care Reform.

            What is worst about this controversy is that it is not so much that the white officer may have been wrong, but it was that no Black man in America has the right and audacity to be “uppity enough” to challenge white authority no matter how stupidly they may be acting.

By the way, the 99.44% of Obama’s presentation on Comprehensive Health Care was convincing also!! (DARLENE SUPERVILLE, 'Beer summit' distracts Obama from health care, WASHINGTON (AP, July 30, 2009)

IT ONLY TAKES SHARING A BEER TO SOLVE 400 YEARS OF FOOLISHNESS!!

(WRITTEN June 29, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

 

After 400 years of Blacks being conditioned to avoid being “Uppity” to whites, wouldn't it be great if Obama has hit on a universal solution this foolishness. Obama has invited Gates the Harvard Professor and the white office to the White House to share a beer and resolve this controversy of “Racial Profiling" and more importantly “Being Uppity” to white authority figures. Al these years Americans could have resolved this problem by going to a place of prominence and sit down around a beer. There would be a boon to the beer industry and a relief to the some bigotry in our society!!!

Wouldn't it be great if Black could play the dozens and say, ”Jo Mama” to a white man without being subject to violence and retribution!! Today a Black will get his head beaten or worst if he used this powerful phase in the presence of white men. If he or she is in custody, as they most certainly may be, they will receive quick and conclusive punishment. It is the rules of the road. Many a Black has gotten accused of being “Uppity,” “sassy,” or “Uncooperative” while in jail for doing much less than speaking a phase of innocent rebellion! While this does not rise to the level of a crime it is definitely a sign of disrespect of your superiors!

Remember this – “All Attitude, No Gratitude. Georgia Representative Cynthia McKinney, who last week was accused of battering a U.S. Capitol policeman with a cell phone, held a bizarre press conference late Friday afternoon at Washington’s Howard University, reports the Hill. (Jenda, Rep Cynthia McKinney Up Date, The View, April 3, 2006)

If just knew then that all that was needed to be done is to go to an official place and have a beer!!

    Obama is unquestionably our genus of the century!!

MISS-CONCEPTIONS AND CONTINUING LIES ARE KILLING AMERICA!!

(WRITTEN July 19, 2009)

OUR RIGHT WING REPUBLICAN CONGRESSPERSONS EMBRASSED AMERICA AGAIN IN THE SOTOMAYRO APPOINTMENT PROCESS!!!

(WRITTEN July 12, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

American should find it embarrassing to see how ignorant, arrogant, and plain old died in the wool racist our white male leaders can be without really trying. Ws tlook at the way the Republicns are treating Sotomayor the Hispanic Nominee for the Supreme Court. God knows that the hearing on the nominees have become intensely partisan and at too many times vicious. But this questioning of Sotomator is ridiculous and deamening. Every Republican member of the Judiciary Committee has tried to use the notion that Sotomayhor is bias and has a sense of reverse prejudice! Yes, here Sotomayor is a well educated Hispanic female, who has paid her dues in the area of serving as a judge and has been approved by some of the very Congresspersons, who are beating her up right now (DAVID ESPO and JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS, Sotomayor Closer to Confirmation Vote, ap, July 12, 2009)

In fact, the chariman of this committee is former candidate for the Surprise Court, senior Republican, Jeff Sessions of Alabama, who panel's senior Republican, Jeff Sessions of Alabama, was not approved by this very committee because of his demonstrated racism against minorities in his testimony. How did he get this position? He was placed in this committee as chairman not by any merit, appointment or vote.  He got there by his tenue in thr congress gave him this honor.

Let tus be very frank here. This intelligant respectiful Hispanis woman was beaten like a rented mule. She was treated kile a “Red Headed Step Child!’ In all this abuse she came off like champ. She was poised even tempered couterous and to the point with her responses. She had every right to be insulted but she showed no oain or destrubamce. She should be comfirmed as a Judge to The surpreme Court!!

THE ECONOMIC STIMULUS FUNDS ARE NOT BEING USED TO CONSTRUCT PLANTS TO HIRE AMERICAN WORKERS TO PRODUCE GOODS AND PRODUCTS!!

(WRITTEN July 10, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

 

The Stimulus Program is not working because of two basic reasons! The intention of the Stimulus Funds has been lost in the institution doing business as usual and the lack of the debate act of Banks and etc deliberately doing nothing.

            First, the institutions of investing such as Banking, Wall Street and other Financial Institutions are refusing to conduct the business of moving money to investment and production. They continue to cling to the obsessive object of exploitation and excess profits. And 2. The Stimulus Funds are not being used to set up and run American Land based Industries that employ people while putting into place such things as Wind Generated Power, Solar Electric Panels, Fresh Water Reservoirs for controlling the cycles of flood and drought, recovery of other basic manufacturing facilities. Undertakings such as the energy wind producing grids and solar panels must take on the intensity if a “Johnny Apple Seed” enthusiasm/fanaticism.

            America's problem is that Banking and Wall Street types have stolen and the national wealth and is hoarding it until the nation comes to the conclusion that the players in Capitalism American Style have gained the power greater than government. (Warren Giles, Swiss Banks To Yanks: Get Lost Swiss Banks Shun Americans as U.S. Compels Disclosure (Correct), China Daily, June 29. 2009) It has been said that, “a nation that does not produce goods, products, and services is no more that a slave to the institutions and other nations that do the producing.”  The manufacturing of the middleclass work -- and a thriving manufacturing industry made our nation an economic superpower!! (Sen. Sherrod Brown, America Needs a National Manufacturing Policy. Now.,  Huffington Post, July 14, 2009)

Therefore, Obama’s Stimulus Program has to reestablish an infrastructure that produces good and products while solving such things as the alternative energy production, and Health Care Problems. If these funds are used to purchase equipment form foreign countries to set up it's New Power grids of Wind and solar power, etc it will have defeated the program of economic recovery. (Sen. Barbara Boxer, Clean Energy Action Will Jump Start Our Economy, Huffington Post, July 16, 2009)

            In addition, America will have to provide “Sole Source Contracts” to American based companies that produce the equipment, install the systems and the investigators who do all the research and development.

A TEMPORARY HEAVY HAND MUST BE USED TO ALLOW AMERICAN ECONOMY TO RESET IN A POSITIVE PLACE IN THIS DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONAL SOCIETY!!

(WRITTEN July 9, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

Do you remember the good old Clinton days? Forget the sexual escapades and consider the balance between the private profitability and the so-called-middle-class income. The National budget was balanced and the middle classes were living high or reasonably well. Them waz the good old days. (Steamy History of the American Economy during the Clinton Administration, Biot Report #551: October 27, 2008)            Now compare these days with the subsequent days of the Bush years.

The private Sector is ruling the world today as did the Kings and Queens. The profit margins from the exploitation of the worlds resources are outrageous and the middle classes are no more. (The American Prospect Losing ground: outsourcing jobs, harassing labor unions, repealing safety regulations, undercutting benefits: the Bush administration is clearly winning a great victory in its war on America's workers., 01-MAY-04)   This is the crisis that brings American and the world to ask what is the easiest way to solve this Economic Crisis and save the national realms. 

      These are a simple ways that requires some real guts and intestinal fortitude in a leader. It requires first that that profit VS working pay income margins must be addressed to bring the survival of the body to a real possibility. In other words the present increasing margins of profits are so intense that they run far ahead of the collective monies paid to the working public that preserves a functioning civilized society and its institutions of Family, Education, politics, economics and Religion! Isn't it obvious that if you would or could roll back the accepted margins of profit and the reasonable incomes of the workers to the better historical times of the Clinton era America would have time to readjust their system(s) to avoid this total shut down caused by the too powerful Capitalist of or CEO’ that function solely by the “Creed of Greed” without the consideration of the nation of, by. And for the people, that are the prime directive of our Constitution! America's Institution of Economics was never intended to run the whole American Government and control it's society. Exxon/Mobil, Shell and BP Oils profits cannot be allowed to be Billions of dollars in excess of those considered reasonable by the peoples government. (makeitso, Exxon Mobile Excess profit research, 10.31 2005) 

            Of course consideration must be given to what history has demonstrated as a reasonable margin of profit and what is a reasonable rate of pay for the worker. The late nineties may be a good period to consider. These agreed to terms then must be set in place for a “sun set” period of time or until the crisis is worked out or the economy is back functioning, even if it comes back to the failed system of Economics that brought America to this crisis place.

MJ WAS THAT HE WAS-GOD BLESS HIM, AMEN!!

(WRITTEN June 27, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

 

 

MJ has passed. So sad. So sad. But let us be honest, it was not a shot Demerol that killed the MJ, it was American Society that kill the MJ. He was trying to be something that God had not made him, successful by being white skinned, flow haired, thin lipped, dimpled chinned, sharp nosed, all built on a Black inside Carbon based unit.

Yes, the propaganda of the highest valued American human was not within his normal natural grasp.

            His family let him walk down this path for money. His church let him walk down the path to destruction because they were so heavenly bound that they were no earthly good!! The medical profession helped him into an early grave by tier just for the big easy buck. The pubic jumped on his fast moving wagon of personal destruction by their preoccupation with stupidity of a Dodo bird and the practiced art of Ostrichology and see no evil, hear no evil and do no good!!

We all should take some of the collective blame for his life of misery and his predictable path to self-destruction. May he finally rest in peace while we write his life into one of greatness and martyrdom while making a lot of money off his leavings!! We all must not provide dishonor to the legacy of the dead and innocent.

            When the respectful time of showing our condolences, the feeding frenzy of the vultures is over and all the profits are in, we can get back to a National Economic Crisis!!

IS ISRAEL SUPPORTING THE RIOTS IN IRAN TO GET AMERICA TO ALLOW THEM TO ATTACK IRAN NUCLEAR PLANTS???
(WRITTEN June 23, 2009)
(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)


   The headlines are saying, “CIA funding rioters in Iran!” (Zahra Hosseinian and Hossein Jaseb; Writing by Fredrik Dahl; Editing by Louise Ireland, Iran minister says CIA funding "rioters", Reuters, Jun 24, 2009)  Now this is an assertion that Obama has been trying to avoid because Iran wants to blame the US for their criminal voting process in June 2009. But is the real headline is missing the first best consideration about who is behind the support of the Rioter in Iran?
The world must remember that Israel has wanted to attack the Nuclear Energy Plants in Iran for years. The resent ranting of President Mahmoud's Ahmadinejad about the Israelis never have been in any holocaust and that they will destroy Israel is the ominous thought that sends moral and insulting chills through the blood of any normal Israelis. (DAILY NEWS STAFF, Iran's president: I don't deny Holocaust, Daily, September 24th 2007,) But Israel cannot attack Iran without the approval of the Great Satan US (as labeled by some Muslims). So what is so readily unreasonable then to consider that Israel has been the outsider that is supporting this upheaval in Iran? (Carl M. Cannon, Obama Ratchets Up the Rhetoric on Iran, AP, 06/23/09)
 
   The US does not want to even consider attacking Iran but they can get this job done through Israel by silently supporting the Israeli attacks. (Iran ex-monarch's son asks Israel to back rioters, AP, June 23, 2009) Isn’t Israel’s job in the Middle East to establish and hold leverage territory for the US anyway?
            Remember Israel has been at war for some fifty years with the Muslim nations surrounding this new nation. The religious and moral justifications for Israel setting down a nation in the middle of a land already populated by Muslims have been a point of contention by all of the surrounding countries! The fact is that Israel knows that if they loose the position of absolute fear of overwhelming power the Muslims nations will be on them like locus on the mid west dust bowl days.
          This is a scary thought. But it is a logical and the most probable reason there is the sustained violence in Iran. As soon as the Iranian leader is back his childish deep throat cry of “Kill the Israelites” will rain from every rooftop and all the airways!! Iran will use the atom bomb because they feel that even if it contaminates all the lands of all the nations Muslims will go to paradise and get their twenty-seven virgins as promised. This is the fanatical belief that makes the position of an atom bomb by a nation such as Iran the most terrible thought mankind can have!!
          On coming out of the Great Iranian riots of 2009 successful, President Mahmoud's Ahmadinejad, will raise his hands, one in a fist and the other holding a lead container and swears that this is our first thirteen pounds of high grade bomb plutonium. The bomb for Israel is on the way. The Israelis leader rolls over and shakes Obama awake saying it is time for "Plan Hustler" to began and oh yes, your legacy will be the passage of your National Health Care Plan! That is a guarantee!!

Obama grabs the Red Phone and tells the Rear Admiral to get the Nuclear subs on station in the pacific and Mediterranean seas and stand by for the Plan Hustler.
          Israeli newly received Stilt Bomber fighters take off for Iran stopping for refueling with a tanker orbiting over Iraq. In ten minutes the Iran Nuclear Plants and two other targets go up in mushroom cloud. The world thinks that the Iranian Nuclear Plant detonated in a massive atomic cloud.
In the mean time North Korea has lunched a missile toward the Hawaiian Islands and there is a tremendous atomic explosion one hundred miles off the Hawaiian coast. The media announces that North Korean has launched a Nuclear bomb at America which misfired over the Pacific Ocean which was followed by the launching of fourteen submarine missiles which hit North Korean strategic points of military value.
          There is a week full of rhetoric form all nations while the world awaits the next move. Korea is out for good and the all the Iranians have left is the enduring fanaticism of the Jihad and a few "back packs" of dirty Nuclear devices. That is if the US is lucky!!! But then there may be radioactivity in our water, landing radioactive loaded balloons in our forest. Cities and farmlands. The Japanese did the balloon thing for a while
 The unbelievable has happened and the big confrontation is over that quickly. But there are the dead, the dying, and suffering left to moan!! But these are only “Rag Heads” and “Gooks” of a Mongol nation.
    This is why the US cannot drive these fanatics into a corner of no alternatives, These nations are children and must be treated as children The US is responsible for this ignorance.

AMERICAN CANNOT HELP IRAN BY SHOWING AMERICA’S ELECTION ARE FAIR AND FREE OF FRAUD!!!

(WRITTEN June 18, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

Whoa, Whoa now hold your horses, this is the irony of all ironies. Iran that is described by America’s propaganda machine as a nation of backward, primitive, nation of barbaric, cruel, ignorant, and Fundamentalist Muslims have just done a remarkable thing. Just this week Iran conducted its election of a leader in which about eighty percent of all registered voters were alleged to have turned out. But in this remarkable participation in voting, the election was alleged to be obviously flaked and probably stolen by one of the parties. When this happened to Americans in 2000 and 2004 our normal institutions established to take care of such a criminal acts failed and the looser, G. W. Bush of the Republican Party was selected as President by our highest court for seemingly political reasons.

Now in Iran the voters are up in arms and protests over the great injustice of making the institution of a fair and legal vote count a sham! They are willing to sacrifice their lives for the preservation of their right to have free and fair elections free of fraud. The Irony is that this backward, ignorant, and Muslim Fundamentalist nation is attempting to do what The Great Nation of American refused to do, protect its most sacred and important exercise, that of voting and having a vote count fairly and justly. America cannot even hold up us as a model for this backward nation top follow!! (ALI AKBAR DAREINI,  Iran Says US Meddling in Election Dispute, AP, June 18, 2008)  

America is seeing a mirror of reflection of the slimey degenerates of our last two election played out in a foreign nation!!

IT IS TIME FOR THE USA TO GROW UP-CAN OBAMA DO IT FOR ALL OF US???

(WRITTEN June 17, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

Obama needs to some how break the backs of the “Little Boys Playing King of the International Hill”

            All of us have heard the little boys at play saying, " my dad is stronger than your dad, my dad is taller than your dad, my dad will knock your dad out! ": This has been changed to our fully grown little boys saying, “My government is better than your government, my army is bigger than your army, my bomb is bigger than your bomb. My bomb will blow your whole nation to bits!!”

            This is what Obama has to face and resolve in has leadership. The leaders before him established the little boy game internationally and in a dangerously grown way. Their game will truly take down the whole world. They are using the threat and taunt process of conducting international business and relations. Americans have been taught that to negotiate is to show a sign of weakness. Obama almost had to go and personally kill someone to make his place as a strong leader. Thanks to something for the four Somalians boys that were in the way of unavoidable harm. This notion has been internalized by all other nations, especially the emerging nations.  Therefore, they use this as their point of dialogue on issues and objectives!!

            When we see the Koreans and the Iranians using the threats and taunts to their supposed strength as tools to conduct international policy. We are seeing the fruits of our past silly little national leaders that have gone before us. This is the process that Obama has to redirect using the weapon of truth and maturity. However, there is still the pool of “little old boy or good old boys” that never grew up to be the mature leaders that can save the nation and the world.

      This is the type of general things that have come from the fact that our white male leaders have been placed in the position of not being challenged for the accepted reason of their genetic intelligence. This has made it unnecessary for them to work for knowledge and rely on the ability to saying anything and it will be accepted and remain un refuted. God knows what the nation and mankind could have been if this had not served to dumb down the general population as well as their group! (Liz Langley, Is America's Love Affair with Stupidity Finally Over? AlterNet, January 14, 2009,)

Obama has generated tremendous resistance to this mission both individual and collective.

            The individual's, who takes advantage of the position of their perceived intellectual superiority and thus do not have to do their homework, are politically maneuvering people such as the Gays, Jews, Christian Fundamentalist, HMOs, and etc. to discredit Obama’s intellect and manhood at his every move.

The collective organizations and institutions that are the backbone of our economy and other institution are refusing to do such things as move money, make investments, and deliver services. Business are moving their manufacturing overseas at an accelerated rate, The textiles, Automobile Companies, Banking and other Financial Services, TV manufacturing, Shoes, Food producers, Toy production, American Flags, Steel Manufacturing, Debt servicing such as collections and information, Energy procurements to the Arab nations, and etc are all gone to cheaper labor in third world nations, such as we are becoming. This is leaving an American population with needs and no means to earn cash to secure these needs. America is a consumer nation with no means of earning the funds for this national end.

            Therefore, Obama must feed this nation with two little fishes and one loaf of bread-by the way a loaf of white bread cost me $3.10 on last week!! What America has left is the financially dead and the dying.

             In reality, comparing one with the other, nothing is so reliable as money in a fight. People are fickle and will move as the money moves!! Americans can but only hope that Obama has the backbone and objectives strong enough to with stand the normal power of money to change the destiny of man!!

IS IT REALLY CHRISTIAN TO PROVIDE LAW ENFORCEMENT TO THROW POOR FAMILIES INTO THEN STREET WITH PROVIDING READILY AVAILABLE ALTERNATIVE HOUSING!!

(WRITTEN June 13, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

 

 

           More sooner than later, the misery of the homeless will have to be addressed by fellow Americans. Americans have accepted the notion that we all must work at legitimate jobs and used our hard earned income to support our selves. Food, housing and the other necessaries are expected to be obtained by all law abiding Americans.

But today America commonly see that there are many of our brothers and sisters who are forced to live on the streets with their belongings and families including children because there are little to no jobs in the nation. The question will eventually have to ask and answered, “ Is a place to live out of the health and life endangering streets a responsibility of the nation as a whole?"

Now this very question will spark the already highly vocal scrooges to say we are not responsible for people form the cradle to the grave. But if a citizen is willing and able to work but cannot find work because of the nations inability to provide the healthy economy necessary to use their services, supposed to be thrown into the streets lock stock and barrel to die in imposed exposure?”

            This is a question that has been posed to many societies and many countries with only a little resolution by any. (W. G. Ranchman, Introduction Social structure and economic change in late medieval England, Cambridge University Press) The Landlords have the capacity to be the classic supreme slaver of humanity without the need of the chain or the whip!! The transition of holding the absolute slave to being a “Landlord” that held the rent of property and production was a classic change that has persisted until today. It is commonly seen that absentee Landlords can keep a people as slaves without even living in the vicinity of the Renter/serf/slave.

            On MSNBC recently there was a mother and her two little children living in their car after being ejected from their home by Landlords was nonpayment of “Rent(s)” The loss of a job had pushed this family to parking in the driveway of the home from which they had been ejected in the middles of the winter in a Northern State in the USA!! The public laws had provided for this forced eviction using the power and manpower of the state to deliver misery on a loyal, patriotic American citizen. Oh by the way this family had a man of the house hold serving in the war in Iraq or Afghanistan!! Is it enough for religious and volunteer organizations to offer limited available living space/quarters? Are there no work houses or concentration labor camps for both the children and adults? Capitalist have said that the poor will always be with us. But will the poor in America always be among us starving and homeless in the cold??

            It is not the intent to offer a solution to this situation in this short article. But as our contemporary college student would say, “I was just Saying!”

THE TIME IS NOW TO TURN AWAY FROM THE LIE AS JUST BEING POLITICAL!!!

(WRITTEN June 8, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

The interim state elections are providing the media with more of their reputation building material. In Virginia there were at three white males running for the candidates of Governor of the state. The first thing that is seen on TV is the pundits saying that they are appearing trite and bland. (Greg Giroux, Virginia Governor’s Race To Be a Closely Watched Rematch, CQ TODAY ONLINE NEWS – POLITICS, June 9, 2009)  What is really seen is these white men in complete disregard for the fact that all candidates should start by demonstrating that they have the basic leadership characteristics of morality, progressiveness, ethics and human caring? Instead they come on as if their blushing testosterone, adrenaline, and rage as the pride of what they have to bring. With their sexual pride in one hand and a big stick of "give-um-hell" in the other these candidates are giving some of the same old distortions and misleading information that got the previous Republican party out of office. (Sara Robinson, Progressives Have a Chance to Dominate American Politics for the Next 40 Years, AlterNet, June 10, 2009,http://www.alternet.org/story/140551/)

But hold it! Jacob Heilbrunn reports in part that it is great to see that McAuliffe, a candidate in this Virginia primary, suffered a devastating defeat that should put a decisive stop to his dreams of political office. McAuliffe epitomizes an earlier era, when political success translated into quick financial gain and supported by a litany of deliberate lies for cause!! (Jacob Heilbrunn, Good Riddance to Terry McAuliffe, Huffington Report, June 9, 2009)

When you look closely at the faces of these men as they make their presentations their red faces, dancing eyes, and troubled nervously, moving hands demonstrate how intense their production of deceit and mislead empty suit campaign has become. There is little reason to continue to try to disprove the notion that a leader cannot be moral, ethical, and humane and still be considered as strong and potentially successful. Then again a person does not need to be constantly subserviently on their knees spouting platitudes and passages from a holy book to be of good character and potentially great leadership material. A truly powerful leader has the power to be forgiving and firmly controlling at the same time.

This is the time for the white male to rise to this occasion and throw off the burdensome self imposed mantel of ignorance covered in the threat of retribution to the “go-long” “nonbelievers.” There are no WMD in Iraq and America is in Afghanistan to build an oil pipeline for Oil corporations!!! No threat to nonbelievers can change this truth to the advocated lie that we are there to fight this as a great  “Patriotic War” As for Virginia, there is no reason for our fellow Americans to be permanently living in a state of abject poverty and ignorance. Now is the time, Virginia is the place that politicians should stop being allowed to sale evil and insidious lies just being political!! Maybe it time that Americans should throw a shoe or an egg at the liers or at the least be a little rude!!

AMERICAN DIPLOMACY HAS REALLY CHANGED TO “Let us reason together”!!!

(WRITTEN June 5, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

 

American has really made a “U” turn in its diplomacy. It has been the case when America indulged in their form of diplomacy our representative went to another nation as an omnipotent powerful big brother “take-it-or-leave-it” presence. Out subliminal infectious American axiom of our white males being the panicle of all they survey that usually came out as a carrot and stick presentation to another nation. The stick was always held in the forefront as a reminder that these negotiations were really an ultimatum for others to come to the terms of America or else! America would say that we have the way because we on God's side and if we can't get you to voluntarily give us what we want we will bomb your whole family back into the caves. And when you are in the caves we will throw in a “Daisy Cutter” and blow you sock off you little bodies. Then we shall take your oil, minerals, people and land forever.

            This is in stark contrast to the Obama diplomacy where he has brought to then table a presentation of we can come to a common ground not necessarily that of our own. Obama even suggested that America doles not really think that our primary religion is the only real religion as he recited from the Koran, Bible, Torah, and universal religions text in their and turn. Obama made it understood that America has the power to protect its self and prevail in the end but this power is given as a blessing to the world as we will use it for the good of the world not the good of special interest. The Israelis and corporations immediately showed their hackles on their backs and appear to be getting ready for the “final struggle” against eh forces of “Good, Honorable, and Reasonable!!” (MARK S. SMITH, Obama Urges Renewed Effort on Mideast, AP, <une 5, 2009)

BRYANT RECEIVED BONUS FOR DESTROYING FAMU-AMMONS RECEIVED BONUS FOR SAVING FAMU-JESUS WOULD GIVE AMMONS HIS MONEY!!

(WRITTEN May 31, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

Recently, The President of FAMU, Dr. Ammons received a bonus of about $113,750 dollars for meeting the requirements in his contract. This has brought a number of opinions from citizens a, facility, and students as to acceptability of this financial payment. It looks on the fist glance as a questionable decision for the University Board of Trustees to make. The University is in hard time from cuts in contribution form State coffers resulting to an expected increase of between 15 to 30 percent in contributions from the students. IN addition, there has been a decrease in the number of courses that can be offered to students. But these are peculiar times in America today. Just consider this.

            AIGs CEOs made bad business decisions that resulted in the economic Crisis that has brought America and the world to it knees. The U.S. Government has provided this company with “Bail Out Funds” of more than $450 million dollars to solve this problem and make the customers, who were harmed whole again. But AIG decided instead to give its CEOs bonuses in the amount of $165 million  of dollars for the bad business decisions that brought about this failure. The Banking Industry has been given Billions of taxpayer dollars for the Bailouts and they gave their CEOs billions of dollars for their failures.

            This is the convoluted world of business in which Americans live today. We are paying business leaders for their failures!! In contrast, Ammons was successful in accomplishing the objective of his contract and saved the institution from its demise! It was a good bonus in a bad time that was not Ammons or the faculty and students fault. But Ammons is a brilliant Black President and therefore, must be measured by a different ruler.

To really understand the nature of this financial adjustment maybe we should look at the salaries of all the Presidents of Florida’s 7 State Universities;

State of Florida Salaries of University Presidents!! (KIMBERLY MILLER, UF's Machen has top package among state university chiefs, Palm Beach Post, November 16, 2008)

7.Florida Atlantic University, Frank Brogan Base, . $357,000.)

6. Florida A&M University, James Ammons BaseTotal: $429,243. (+$113,750 5/2009)

5. University of South Florida, Judy Genshaft Base, $502,845.

4. Florida International University, Mitch Maidique $561,816.

3.University of Central Florida, John Hitt Base, $593,588.

2. Florida State University, T.K. Wetherell $711,145.

1. University of Florida, Bernard Machen $731,811.

            It is easy to see that Ammons salary is number six out of the seven universities. The range of salaries is a high of $731,811 dollars per year ot  low of  $357,000. per year.

            Yes, this is tangled web of convoluted and unreal compensations wrapped in a National economic System of “Greed’ and chicanery! You would have to have graduated from Yale or Harvard to understand or do such a foul job at ripping off a nation of such gullible people.

This is a clear and usual happening inside of the normal system of Economic in America today!! It looks raggedy. But it is OK!!

But there is an even more critical issue here. Notably, The leadership role being played by the Honorable, Reverend Dr. R.B. Holmes Jr. Pastor of Bethel Baptist church reminds Tallahassians and Americans that our religious institutions do take critical leadership roles in many other institutions. It is not so much that our Political and Economic Institutions have been so disapprovingly replete with harms, it is that the institution of Religion, that is the moral, ethical, and human compass/base by which a nation “of, by, and for” the people has managed to survive.

When the institution of Religion tries to be part political, all Americans seem to loose at times. The only thing you seem to get when a Minister or Preacher go political even a little, is an “oily, sleazy, corrupt” abomination!! A sinner before our God(s), which ever they may be!! Today, the religious community must take its foundation to a clean and honorable role model. In this time of Greedy Exploitive, Capitalism where all ethics and morality has been dropped, the religious community must remind our leaders that if you are Greedy, corrupt, sleazy, scheming, and criminal individuals you have no right or chance of becoming an American leader!! But alas, Politics seemed to have over powered Religion and the Preacher resorts to the repugnant tools of the “Politician” and the entire world looses!! But thank God for the Reverend Holmes’, who seem to rise above this maturation of present day political infections!! This is not a sermon it is an important lesson whose time has come!

AMERICA CANNOT OUTSOURCE ACTS OF REAL PATRIOTISM AND LOYALTY!!!

(WRITTEN May 24, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

With the corruption of Halliburton in delivering the outsourced service of supplying materials and services to our American Solders in these police actions in Iraq and Afghanistan we must remember the “Red Ball Express!” In WWII a nearly all Black Army unite made itself famous for their deliver of materials and supplies in all types of weather and under severe German attacks. They are the Real patriots who have been substituted by the outsourcing to Halliburton by the sole source contracts of the former Vice President Dick Cheney. (Rudi Williams, African Americans Gain Fame as World War II Red Ball Express Drivers, American Forces Press Service, Feb. 15, 2002) Army Gen. George S. Patton's bold armored advance across France in 1944 is credited historically as a significant contribution to the Allied victory in Europe in World War II. Patton is alleged to have said, “These Negro boys will fight their way into a battle field in trucks, deliver fuel and admonition to a tank in full run, move on out ahead of the battle and set up the field cafeteria in a muddy field, feed the solders a hot meal and fight their way back to the supply staging grounds. Dame, I’m proud of these boys” This is almost as good as the services that Halliburton is giving for ten times the price!! In addition, they did it for $3,600.00 per year that is much less than the $10.000.00 month reported paid to Halliburton’s men!!

            There has been many documented and confirmed complaints by solders for the lace of services and the shoddy services such as electrical wiring that electrocute solders while taking showers, delivering old and outdated food to solders, etc. This profiteering for profit is the shame and evil of the present game if making war for the sake of providing profits to private industry. These complaints extend to the other outsourced contracts with Blackwater the mercenary thug forces that supplement the regular Army solders in Iraq and Afghanistan today!!

            So what is the problem with using American regular solders to perform these support functions? Nothing but that this is the American “Creed of Greed” Profiteering on war and death business.

            These holidays should honor and recall these patriotic and heroic services performed by the real Armed forces in the name of fighting the real Patriotic Wars!! This whole outsourcing activity was nothing more than a moneymaking, insulting, criminal act by the Bush Administration!! Bush and Cheney deliberately almost completely emptied the public coffers, which made it almost impossible for next President, Obama to finance the recovery from a resulting financial crisis!!

 AMERICA, WHO ARE WE-CAN THE MEDIA DEFINE US!!

(WRITTEN May 16, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)  

An article today reported that Iman, who is said to be a “Super Model” said in an interview, “Mrs. Obama is not a great beauty," . . . “just get better with age!!"

This is an exceptional example of how society shapes the way Black People see themselves. It is seriously critical that Blacks realize this.

      Many times it is asked why does Black boys wear their pants so low that it shows their behind. Or why do Black Boys do so well in sports and so poorly in tier school subjects. In the former the answer for the pants is that when Black boys go to prison the first thing that is taken from them is their belt. This allows their pants to fall down around their upper legs. When they get out of jail they take this as a badge of passage to manhood and continue to wear their pants this way. Other Blacks Boys try to show that they are also of substance and wear tier pants thus way. While in school Black boys are trained to be good athletes and this is the success that motivates other Black boys. While in contrast, when Black boys achieve academically they are labeled as a nerd and ostracized by other bays.

      Now as for this Super Models comment about Michelle, society has made the physical beauty a badge of respect and worth. My father would say that Iman was smelling her own urine/piss and society has again made a fool of another Black. If the truth was told any self-respecting Black man would much rather marry a Michelle than marry an Iman. Who wants a woman, who shows her private self off for the whole to see and gauche at. There is no chance to have a wholesome unique relationship with a woman who every ones knows in her extremely personal humanity!! Further, how does a man get married looking for a wife among a group of "Hutchie Mamas?” Or how does a woman get married looking fro a husband from amount a group of “Black Male thugs?” But this is the image that the media provides for the children to choose from as the desired and valuable.

      This powerful “Image Tool” is the media. –Blondes have more fun, White males are the superior minds, Blacks are not to bright, Women are the weaker sex, Iraq has WMD, and Water Boarding is not torture, Capitalism is the superior economic institution, Smoking does not cause cancer, our American democracy “of, by, and for the people” is institution to distrust and unregulated private industry “American Style” is the for the people institution . . . . . !!!

THE COMING OF THE NEW PRESIDENT IN WORDS AND PICTURES 

(WRITTEN May 14 , 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

Obama’s first 100+ days in office can be best understood by using both pictures and words! 

  1. Obama arrived in the Office of president to find the mess left by The Bush Criminal Administration. His job was to clean the floors of the office just about literally.
  2. Obama found that Bush had created a Fourth Branch of Government that consisted of The Corporations/Contracts of Out sourcing.

     

 

  1. Obama had to start by cutting the fourth Branch from the three of the Three Constitutional Branches of Government that consists of Executive, Judicial, and Legislative.
  2. Obama then had to proceed to burn the Insistent Fourth Branch with a fire of exclusion and restraints.

 

      

 

  1. Obama had to prove that he was a strong President and would kill someone. Bus had killed over four thousand American boys and girls and 100 thousand Iraqis. He showed his badge of honor!!

                     

                                               BUSH KILLS                                                                     OBAMA KILLS

 

  1. Obama should have taken on the task of demanding the punishment of those who committed criminal offences against the nation and brought about a economic crisis
  2. Obama had to get control of the military and fond where the Nuclear button was situated.

  

 8. Obama had to create a National Security Counsel to properly consider the most powerful action that could be needed, God forbid, the use of the Atomic bomb! 

             And then there were none!! The End!!

THE FIFTH LABOR OF OBAMA; CLEANING UP THE CONGRESS-BANKING COALITION OF CORRUPTION!!

(WRITTEN May 7, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

Americans are caught in a double whammy. Between the Money Institutions and the Money politicians. This is a classic. Remember the story of Hercules? The fifth labor of Hercules, an arrogant king tries to demean the hero by hiring him to clean out the Augean stables in a day. The stables containing the largest herd of cattle in civilization had never been cleaned. Hercules, with a little help from Athena, changes the path of two rivers and quickly washes out the accumulated filth.

            What America needs is our own Hercules. Can that be Obama fiftth labor and who is Obama’s Athena? Obama has to cleanse the government of this Bull Dung and sweep the crap into the already polluted! This is the “Impossible Dream” this is the Herculean task before Obama.

            The sad fact is that most of the Republicans do not realize that they are the bought and paid for supporter of the great and powerful "Coalition of Corruption” which consist of the economic industry of Banks and Financial Institutions in our American today And as if this was not enough, our second institution of Religion has become unwittingly a second calibrator of the coalition of corruption, The churches have developed the most powerful “Religious Industrial Complex in history. It to is based on the “Creed of Greed” mainly to make money and instill the eleventh commandment of, " thou shall make as much profit on the exploitation of your neighbor as possible!!"

            A resent article writes, “.  .  .  the banks -- hard to believe in a time when we're facing a banking crisis that many of the banks created -- are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. And they frankly own the place"

REPUBLICANS CANNOT REBUILD PARTY WITHOUT MOVING AWAY FROM THEIR SORRY BASE!!!

(WRITTEN April 30, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED) 

 

            Just when you thought you had this Republican Party comeback sealed down another twist comes to mind. In a previous article it was recorded that the recent Republican demonstration called “Tea Party” was misrepresented one more item has come to my attention.

 

  1. This was intended to be a "Tea Party" based on the classical Boston protest against taxation by the British Crown but was labeled or mislabeled “Tea Bag” instead. At many of the protest you will see signs that read "Tea Bag Obama". Many of the protest you will see signs that read "Tea Bag Obama". 
  2. Without any good researching of the label ”Tea Bagging” the Republicans hit upon the long used practice of good old boy committing some mischief by getting one of their own drunk and while they were out from drinking  "White Lightening Liquor” these mischief  Boys playing this joke, took out their privates, squared over their comrades face and took pictures of their scrotum hanging in the face of the poor object of this humiliation!
  3. The of the participants were not very sure what that symbolism really meant, therefore,  
  4. They were protesting everything, with a high emphasis on hating our Black President Obama, 
  5. The themes displayed by some participants went to anti immigration of the Mexicans,  
  6. Then there was "The South will rise again" Succeeding from the union.

So therefore, the Republicans have just held national a demonstration using the Good Old Boy cruel, ignorant, and mischief practice of “Tea Bagging/ scrotum hanging” in presidents Obama’s face. Can we say nuts or balls to this demonstration for effectiveness and intelligence??

This is what you get when  “Dixicrates” of the Reagan Southern Strategy, bottom feeders of racist, sexist, Bible Thumping, “don't tell me the truth I have already made up my mind,” “The South will rise again” scary, red necks, which will always be solidly "just because," throw backs take charge! No Surprises here!

WHEN DOES MOVING AMERICAN MANUFACTURING AND JOBS OVER SEAS BECOME TRAITOROUS AND CRIMINAL!!

(WRITTEN April 27, 2009)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

              Just when Americans relax and think that companies such as GM have gotten the message to stop sending their business and our job over seas, today it was announced that Gm would be cutting about 26,000 jobs in the US. Contrastingly, GM was saying on TV at a plant located in China that they were increasing the numbers of employees at their plants about 20,000 workers. Don't be surprised when GM tries to import back to America it's Automobiles made in the factories located in China! Don't be so surprised. This is being done at this very time. American TV companies such as Zenith and GE are manufacturing their TVs in other countries and importing them back to sell to Americans. (All manufacturing has been shifted to Mexico where Zenith maintains the ... TV Manufacturing Division continues to lead the industry in the sale of 27-inch, http://www.airfarecheck.com/zenith.htm)

This is a common theme with America's manufacturing companies. (i. e. Textiles, Steel, etc,) How logical is for these companies to move their jobs to other countries leaving the American worker unemployed while still enjoying the protection and markets of The US and it's great Military Forces and Constitutional Laws. In addition, how long will it take these companies to move their manufacturing back to American soil in case of a Great Patriotic War! Further, who would the companies be patriotic to???

In fact if the location of a companies central office on US soil protect
