Racism

Professor Gates says that only Obama could have gotten him to sit down and talk with the police officer he ridiculed. This doesn’t say much for liberal compassion or racial harmony. Only a half-black president can get Gates to be civil. This is racism at its finest.

Loud

lWhy do supposed spokespersons for black people feel the need to be loud, obnoxious, rude, and inconsiderate when dealing with white people? All the white, black, Latino, etc. people I talk with are not that way. Either I only am extremely lucky enough to only deal with people with a higher standard of behavior, or these spokespersons are not really spokespersons at all but are just people trying to exacerbate and exploit every situation for their own glorification.

Proof of Not Believing

Dale Neumann of Wausau, WI, has been charged with second-degree manslaughter for praying for his daughter as she slowly died of diabetes instead of seeking life-saving medical help. His wife has already been convicted of the same offense. His lawyer says there is not a shred of evidence that Neumann knew his prayers would fail to help his daughter or cause her death. How is the state supposed to prove that Neumann knew that his prayers would not work when there is no proof that prayers do work. Using this logic, Neumann could say he believed a doctor from Mars would land his spaceship in his back yard and save his daughter, and, since the state could not prove he did not believe this to be true, Neumann should not be charged with manslaughter. People will believe most anything; radical Muslims believe all Americans are infidels and must die. Does this exonerate them of their killings us?

Hope and Pray

I hear people say “I hope and pray that everything will be okay.” If you believe in prayer, why do you need hope? Hope is a belief that everything will work out for the best. Prayer is asking God to work everything out for the best. If you believe that God will answer your prayer, then there is no need for hope. What would you hope for; that your prayer will be answered.

Racism

Police responded to a call of two black men breaking into a home. They find the front door of the home broken in and a black man, later identified as Henry Louis Gates Jr., a pre-eminent black scholar, inside the home. Gates said he was the owner of the home, had broken in his own door, refused to come outside to speak to the police officer, and immediately began yelling, “Why, because I am a black man in America?” After he kept causing a disturbance, he was arrested. Now every radical black in the country is screaming racism. Had the officers not responded to the call as they did, they would have been accused of racism for not treating the call the same way as they would a call about a white man under the same circumstances. Gates is an ass. Radical blacks would not have any media coverage if they could not find racism in everything thing that happens.

Purple Heart

Purple Heart medal
Florida National Guardsman Sgt. Ernie Rivera who served in Iraq and was awarded two Bronze Stars for heroism thinks he deserves a Purple Heart, which is given to service members who've been wounded or killed in combat. In December 2006, a roadside bomb exploded in his convoy and he received a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that caused him to be hospitalized for six months. While records show that Rivera was totally disabled by the injury, the Army says it can't tell for sure whether the injury came from the roadside bomb that exploded in his convoy because his most severe symptoms didn't surface until weeks after the blast.

Rivera should have asked Senator John Kerry for advice. While in the Vietnam War, Kerry collected Purple Hearts as a hobby; submitting himself for the award every time he received a scratch and then using his collection of awards as justification for being allowed to leave Vietnam eight months early so he could come back home and declare himself a war hero. Rivera's problem is that, as a tough, dedicated soldier, he waited too long to seek help for his severe symptoms. Kerry would have advised him to run to the medics for every little injury to increase the chances of getting an award for the injury.

Rivera should also talk with Senator John McCain for advice on how to exploit his awards for political purposes and book deals. McCain is a master of exploitation of military service.

Genetics

During the Sonia Sotomayor supreme court justice nomination hearings, one of Senator Dick Durbin’s questions to her included the following:
“When we asked questions of the white male nominees of a Republican president, we were basically trying to find out whether -- to make sure that they would go far enough in understanding the plight of minorities, because clearly that was not in their DNA.”
It is a premise of Obamism that white males are genetically predisposed to discrimination. If this is true, then it not their fault that they discriminate, it a genetic defect, and it is discrimination to penalize them for something over which they have no control.

NAACP

The NAACP has launched a program to let people who use their cellphone to capture photos or videos of misconduct to send the images to the NAACP, which would then send a form to the sender to use to submit more information about the incident.  Isn't this great? The NAACP is trying to help reduce crime in the United States. No wait! There is more! The program is only for capturing images of alleged police misconduct, not for people to capture images of the other crimes that permeate the black community. The NAACP is only interested in crimes if they involve the relatively few case of  police misconduct, while they could care less about the crimes that are perpetrated against blacks on a constantl basis. This is mainly because the crimes are committed by blacks against blacks and because the NAACP  knows there will be little retaliation from the police and their supporter,s while they could expect deadly retaliation from the criminals. As usual, the NAACP is more concerned with appearance than taking action that might actually help law abiding blacks who are being victimized.

Death Penalty

North Carolina is considering a Racial Justice Act that would allow judges to throw out the death penalty in a specific case if they found a trend of racial basis in other unrelated cases. This means that a judge could toss out the death penalty ordered for a black man who was convicted without a shadow of doubt of murdering a family of four if the judge thought there had been racial discrimination in other cases involving black defendants. Obamism at work! If it is true that blacks get the death penalty more than whites, then why not argue that more white murderers should get the death penalty. As usual, the argument is not really about racial discrimination, it is about trying to end the death penalty itself.

Dishonor in the ranks

Recently, in Winston-Salem, NC, Phillip James Every, 58, the owner the Karate USA karate school for over 30 years, was sentenced to four years of probation after he pleaded guilty to violating the state's sex-offender registry laws by working at business at which he was responsible for coaching minors. Every stopped teaching at the school after he was convicted in 2001 of indecent liberties with a child, for talking lewdly on the phone with a minor student of his while masturbating, and for assault on a female, for rubbing a student's buttocks, but he returned to teaching karate after he finished probation. At the time, this wasn’t a crime, but in 2006, the state's laws changed to ban sex offenders from coaching or supervising children. The State Bureau of Investigation sent letters to all sex offenders notifying them of the change, but Every kept teaching karate. Karate USA is now closed.

Hate is news, sometimes

Weeks after they have occurred, there is still constant media coverage of the murder of the abortion doctor and about how there is too much hate in the country. However, the murder of the soldier at a recruiting office by a radical Muslim is all but forgotten. Apparently, expressing your religious views by hating and killing those who are in opposition to them is not major news, unless you are expressing Christian views.

Another Myth

Supposedly, high school students must get good grades and perform community service to get them into the best colleges. Maybe it helps, but once they get in college, instead of good grades, less than half of them stay around long enough to get a degree, and community service only consists of public drunken behavior. College students are taught diversity, environmentalism, and why they should vote for and support the liberal agenda, but they are not taught to do what it takes to get a degree and they are not taught how to be responsible citizens.

Good and Bad

Former Secretary of State, General Colin Powell, says that although Michael Jackson’s life was challenged by heavy and extravagant debt, allegations of child abuse, the abuse of drugs, and all types of freakish and deviant behavior, we should forget all that and celebrate his art. Hey, that sounds great! Let’s also celebrate the art of Adolf Hitler, John Wayne Gacy, Richard Ramirez, Henry Lee Lucas and other deviant artists. After all, art transcends deviant behavior, no matter how deviant the artist.

Apparently, Powell, as do others, thinks we should only remember the good people did in their lives, not all the bad they did. This goes back to the belief that your life as a whole should be judged on a balance scale. If all the good you have done is placed on one side of the scale and all the bad you have done is placed on the other, if the good exceeds the bad, then you should be judged to be a good person. The problem comes with the weight that is assigned to each item. For example, people want to assign the selling a record number of music albums more weight than they assign to being being a drug addict or a pervert. People should have the guts to stand up for what is good, if they don’t, sooner or later all that will remain is the bad.

Aging, Retirement, and Health

Many people do not think about aging, retirement, or their health when they are younger, they only seek pleasure for the moment. Then when they get old, want to retire, or get ill, they want others to bail them out. For decades, they spent all their money on having fun with no concern for the future, and now they think taxpayers should help them. They think that people who suffered, saved, and planned throughout their lives so they would be prepared in their later years should help them since they are in need. To this people, I say, "You made you bed, now lie in it."

Get a Life

What does it say about a person when his or her goal in life is to emulate a celebrity, see some celebrity in person, morn some celebrity, etc. You would expect this from a teenager that has no clue what life is about, but when you see adults doing this it tells you that they have no lives of their own so they have to live them vicariously through the lives of public figures or fictional characters.

Poor

The Poor SchoolImage via Wikipedia
Everyone laments about how the poor are lagging behind the rest of the population in car ownership, broadband access, home ownership, health insurance coverage, etc. No shit! That is what poor means. In every society that exists or has ever existed, there is a class structure. No matter how “equal” a class structure is supposed to be, some people will not have as much as others and will consider themselves “poor.” The “poor” in the United States are not lagging behind in smoking, drinking, gold jewelry ownership, and illegal drug use; they always find money to satisfy their vices even if it means they, or their children, must go hungry, which is unlikely since we taxpayers give them food stamps.

Being poor is relative. There are natives living in third world villages who we consider to be poor, while in their villages and cultures they are considered rich. Being poor does mean you break the law or have to live in a filthy house. Many poor people are good, honest people who take pride in what they have, no matter how meager it may be. Being poor merely means you do not have the things others may have and you may have to work harder for what you do have. For most people, being poor is an incentive to do better; for others it is an excuse to do nothing. For most people, poor is state of mind.

Veterans

030902-N-3228G-003 Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (Sept....Image via Wikipedia
We see headlines that say “Veteran groups want alleged torture photos released,” “Veteran groups support Obama’s war polices,”  “Veteran groups are against war,” etc. Who are these veterans?

Unofficially, anyone may claim to be a veteran. Officially, a veteran is a person who:
  • served on active duty for other than training for a period of more than 180 days and was discharged with other than a dishonorable discharge;  or
  • was discharged because of a service-connected disability; or
  • as a member of a reserve component served, under orders, on active duty during a period of war or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge is authorized and was discharged or released from such duty with other than a dishonorable discharge.
A Dishonorable Discharge (DD) is a punitive discharge that may only be awarded to an enlisted member by a General Court-Martial for a serious offense, such as desertion, sexual assault, or murder, for which a dishonorable discharge was part of the sentence. All veterans' benefits are lost.

The other types of discharges are:
  • Honorable Discharge. A honorable discharge indicates the person met or exceeded the required standards of duty performance and personal conduct.
  • General Discharge. A general discharges indicates the person’s performance was satisfactory, but was marked by a considerable departure in duty performance and conduct expected of military members. General discharges are always preceded by some form of nonjudicial punishment for unacceptable behavior.
  • Other Than Honorable (OTH) Discharge, An OTH indicates the person had a serious departure from the conduct and performance expected of all military members. An OTH is typically given for conviction by a civilian court in which a sentence of confinement was adjudged or in which the conduct leading to the conviction brought discredit upon the service. Most veteran benefits are not available to those who receive an OTH discharge.
  • Bad Conduct Discharge (BCD). A BCD is a punitive discharge that can only be given by a court-martial as punishment to an enlisted service-member. They are often preceded by a period of confinement in a military prison. Virtually all veterans' benefits are forfeited by a BCD.
Therefore, veterans are not all created equal. A veteran may be a decorated war hero or a slug that was discharged after six months for assaulting an officer. When you hear about what some veteran or veteran group has said, you should consider the if the speakers really are veterans, and, if they are, what kind of veteran they are.

Double Standard

One woman made an Electolux commercial where she portrayed a super mom who could work all day and still do all her motherly home chores with a smile, and she was criticized for reinforcing the invisible jobs women are supposed to continue even though they work 40 hours a week. Another woman produces and stars in her own one hour medical drama where each week she portrays a chief nurse who can do everything in a hospital with a smile and still be a single super mom at home, and, even thought the show is a flop, she is still praised for her work. One of the women is Jada Pinkett Smith is and the other is Kelly Rippa. Guess which one is criticized and which one is praised, and why.
