Integrity

A young, black, Winston-Salem, NC television personality was drunk driving after a party, lost control of his vehicle in a construction zone, and killed a pedestrian. He was remorseful and plead guilty from the beginning. His trial was quick, he served 2 years in prison, got out or prison, and restarted his life.


A white, Raleigh, NC plastic surgeon with multiple DUI arrests was drunk driving at a high rate of speed, rammed a car, and killed a young aspiring ballerina. He had prvious DWIs, showed little remorse, never apologized, delayed his trial for over 2 years, was sentenced to 3 to 4 years in prison, got to leave prison during the week to work at a local pharmaceutical company got 48-hour weekend passes on a regular basis to visit with his family, was released after 3 years, and is now a practicing plastic surgeon again.


Integrity and personal responsibility are not related to race; you either have them or you do not have them.

Pot Head

I was chatting with an old pot head today. He said weed was not addictive; that he had smoked weed for 40 years because it helped control his anxiety. He said was not addicted. I asked how he knew it helped him. He said because when he stopped smoking marijuana, it made him nervous and anxious; which of course was not related to his being addicted to marijuana. This from an engineer who is out of work because he said he has problems dealing with authority.

Trans-ethnic

I'm a pre-op trans-ethnic. I was born white, but I am beginning to question my ethnicity. I am considered a majority, but I am looked down upon by minorities. I have been profiled by people who think that, just because I am white, I am a racist. Police pull me over for merely speeding or having no brake lights. People bump into me on the street and don't say excuse me. I have been passed over for promotions and not hired after job interviews. I have been called whitey, cracker, redneck, and other derogatory, demeaning names. I am legal citizen, which is rapidly becoming an oddity. It does not matter that people say they are not bigots or that they do not behave as bigots, I can tell that they really are bigots just by looking at them. I tell them they “don’t know me” when they question my behavior but they don’t realize that “I know them better than they know themselves.” I hear the snickers and laughter from people while I am in the room. I notice that waitresses and waiters seem to ignore me in restaurants. I hear people say "hello" and "thank you" to me but I know they don’t mean it. I can tell that they look down upon me and really hate me no matter what they say or do.

Until I complete the surgery and become another ethnicity, I will have to suffer the consequences of being white. I will have to train for, look for, get, and keep a job so I can eat and have clothing and housing. I will not be able to attend protests because of having to work. I will have to pay taxes. I will have to be responsible not only for my actions but the actions of all white people since the beginning of time. Of course nothing comes for free. After the surgery, I will have to sell my soul to become a socialist and vote for liberals.

Pink

Is breast cancer the greatest disease to ever plague humankind? One would think so! There is a month for awareness of it; as if there is anyone who is not aware of it. There are thousands of events to raise money for research into it. Celebrities and politicians make public statements in support of research on it. Food products, vehicles, buildings, publications, etc. are all covered in pink to show support. 


What has all the billions and billions of dollars of donations got us? We have some reduction in deaths, which could have been accomplished for far fewer dollars, we have people who are in the spotlight for a time to make themselves feel good about themselves, we have wealthy professional fundraisers, and we have thousands of research labs that take millions of dollars and produce little. Pink is the politically correct thing to be, since you will be ostracized and called sexist if your are not. Pity the people who have other diseases, especially those diseases which occur mostly in men.

Retard

ARC chastises celebrities, politicians, sports figures, and ordinary people for using the words "retard" or "retarded" when speaking about people with mental disabilities. They try to get people who use the word forced out of their offices or jobs in an attempt to silence them. ARC has decided that the word "retard" is derogatory and therefore may not be used. What is ARC? It is the Association for RETARDED Citizens. Apparently, it is derogatory to even say the name of the organization.

Try

As a martial instructor, I don't want students who try. Trying doesn't show commitment. When you try, you are telling yourself that you may not be able to do it so you do not fully commit yourself and you hold something back in case of failure.

When I know that a student is capable of doing something, I expect the student to do it, and I expect the student to believe he or she can do it. The student may do it, or fail to do it. If the student does it, he or she will know that commitment leads to success and will feel the satisfaction of success. If the student fails to do it, it means the student either did not fully commit to doing it, or I was wrong in thinking the student could do it. If the student failed to commit, the student needs to work harder and gain more confidence so he or she will do it next time. If I was wrong in thinking the student could do it, then I will have to work harder to ensure the student does do it next time.

I don't want a surgeon who says he or she will try to remove all the tumor, I want a surgeon who says he or she will remove all the tumor. A surgeon who tries doesn't have confidence in his or her abilities, so he or she accepts failure as a possible outcome.

Although failure is a possible outcome, it is not an option.

Free speech

A federal judge has ruled that protesters cannot be prevented from protesting at funerals since it violates their right to free speech, and yet judges refuse to let people who do not dress appropriately for court from appearing in court and some judges have even fined and jailed them. It appears that free speech does not apply in their courts.

School dropouts

The latest news is that the education system is failing black males since they have such a high dropout rate. Of course the solution being offered, as it has been for decades, is that we need to spend more money on education. The real problem, and its solution, lies in the black community. The black children are not getting the training and support they need from their parents, relatives, and black leaders. They are not being raised to be productive citizens.
The same holds true for white children, since their dropout rate has also increased.

Schools are there to educate children, not to raise children. Parents, relatives, and community leaders are the ones who teach children to be productive members of society, the schools only give the children the tools they need to do it. Some communities, such as Asian communities, teach their children what it takes to be productive and how to behave properly, and then they send them to school to be educated.

Stop blaming others for your own shortcomings and do something to better your community. Don't expect the government to do your job for you.

Videoing police

Why is it that no one ever video records the times that police are attacked by the people they are arresting? Could it be that they do, but since the videos do not support their agenda, they are not picked up by the news services.

Presumed innocent

"Craigslist Killer" Philip Markoff committed suicide in his jail cell awaiting trial. Since, according to the media, he only "allegedly" committed the crime and the media likes to misuse the "presumed innocent until proven guilty" statement (it only applies to court trials, not pretrial; he is presumed guilty, that is why he was arrested), I guess this means they will be saying he is innocent and will forever be innocent since he never had a trial.

Dog Park

I was taking my dog to the dog park every morning so he could play with the other dogs; he had fun but I did not. There are many regulars who come to the park every day, many of which seem to think that their dogs. and themselves. can do no wrong. The park seems to be infested with radical liberals and admitted marijuana users, who blame all their woes on conservatives, President Bush, and government conspiracies.To pass the time, I would debate current events with some of them. I enjoyed the debates for a time, but then one morning I thought, "Is this the way you want to spend your time, hanging out with a bunch of fat, out or shape, misfit liberal drug users? Or do you want to spend your time more productively?" So I stopped the dog park visits; instead, I take the dog on long hikes on trails in local parks and mountain state parks. Its healthy for both of us, and afterward, I feel clean instead of dirty.

Cancer cure?

Have terminal prostate cancer and only a couple of months to live, then fly to Libya for hospice care. Abdel Baset Ali Megrahi, the Lockerbie bomber, did after he was released from prison by Scotland to die at home> He received a hero's welcome and and is still living large a year later. Funny how that works.

Do they REALLY believe this!

According to USA Today, approval of a mega-mosque two blocks from Ground Zero in New York City would show that America practices the tolerance that al-Qaeda abhors. Bullshit! It shows the world how ignorance and stupid some liberal Americans are. How much tolerance would USA Today show if the  KKK wanted to build  build a mega-cultural center two blocks from the Martin Luther King National Historical Site.

Boo Hoo

Lindsey Lohan who will only serve about half of her 90-day sentence, will be confined to her 12-by-8 cell alone for about 22 hours a day for about two weeks. Man, she will need a drink after this!

Graduates

A local bible college, founded LAST SUMMER with it first classes having started 6 months ago, had its first graduation ceremony this week with three graduates. I sure they are budding biblical geniuses.

Enviormentalists

Environmentalists get rid of appliances in perfect condition simply because that are white and not "in style" at the time. However, they are concerned for the environment, so they recycle the old appliances.

Environmentalists, such as Al Gore, who have estates whose power bill each month is more than most people's house payment.

Crestor Head Shop

Although, they have no concern for their own health or the safety of those around them, marijuana abusers in the country have suddenly become concerned about easing the suffering of the sick. Although he is great to see them have such concern for others, Marijuana is certainly a "different" medication.

I take Crestor for control of cholesterol, but I have yet to find a "Crestor Head Shop" where I can go to hang out with fellow Crestor users. A place where we can lie back and savor the good feelings that medication brings. A place where we can find custom designed cups and glasses to hold the liquids we use when taking the pills. A place where we can find custom designed containers to carry and store the pills. A place were we can shop around for some the best Crestor available; I hear there is some primo Crestor that comes out of South America that can really lower that nasty cholesterol. It's odd that you don't see Crestor users wearing clothing with pill designs on them, or users with tattoos that resemble Crestor pills. I guess it is because we don't have the concern for others that marijuana users have.

Redneck philanthropists

One good thing you can say about the push of legalization of medical marijuana. It has made rednecks, hillbillies,  trailer park trash, government assistance moochers, etc. into philanthropists. They now have cause they can be proud of supporting. Through their unselfish efforts, they are raising marijuana to help ease the suffering of millions of seriously ill patients.

Hyporites

Mel Gibson's long-time agents, William Morris Endeavor, have ended their work with him over his recent scandal. "We can't represent a guy who used the N-word," the agency's director, Ari Emanuel, said in an email to a business partner.

What he meant to say was, "We can't represent a white guy who used the N-word in a private conversation but we can represent black people who say the word in public and in their music." 

HIV Education

HIV/AIDS remains a rarity among people who do not participate in the risky behaviors that lead to the spread of it. After 30 years of "education," everyone should know about HIV/AIDS; the ones who do not know about it are idiots who do not read, watch, or listen to anything, so more "education" is meaningless. Many ignore what they do know about HIV/AIDS because the pleasure of the moment means more to them than any possible future dire consequences. No amount of extra "education" about HIV/AIDS will change their behavior.

Liberals say it is the right of these people to participate in risky behavior and that it is our responsibility to care for them after their risky behavior leads them to the predictable consequences and that it is our responsibility to spend millions of dollars to find a way for them to participate in their risky behaviors without them having to worry about the dire consequence. I say it is their right to participate in the risky behaviors and it is their responsibility to deal with the consequences; and it is our right to protect ourselves from these idiots.

It's easy to understand. If you do not want to catch HIV/AIDS, then do not participate in the behaviors that lead to catching it.

God's will

Prayers are or are not answered. Why? Because it was God's will; thus, making the prayers a waste of time. Unless, prayers are able to change God's will. Since God knows the future, the future is predetermined since he already knows what will happen, regardless of your prayers. Or, is God so powerful that, if enough people pray, he can change the future that he already knows will occur. If this is so, then prayers can change the will of God, making prayers, and thus mankind, more powerful than God himself. Then, instead of being an all powerful, overseer, God is merely powerful tool being told what to do by the prayers of man.

Hollywood excuses child rape

Hollywood elitists are ecstatic after the Sweden refused to extradite 77 year old director Roman Polanski who was convicted of drugging and having unlawful sex with Samantha Geimer, 13, in Los Angeles in 1977. Originally charged with six offenses, including rape and sodomy, he plead guilty to unlawful sex with a minor following a plea bargain but he fled to Europe before he could be sentenced. After all, hasn't he been punished enough by having to live in luxury in Europe all these years and not being able to come to America to receive all the awards Hollywood has bestowed upon him. Perhaps he could rape a child in Europe and then flee to the United States and then fight extraction back to Europe for years until until he dies.

SETI

Over the last 5o years, SETI, Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, has spent millions, if not billions, of dollars searching the heavens and listening for some signal from some intelligent extraterrestrial life forms. What has been the result of all this time, effort, and money? The result has been nothing. When asked to justify their expendatures, these scientists say, "The last 50 years have been a learning experience." They say that if you wanted to determine if there were any fish in the ocean, and you only based you opinion on the results of taking a random  teacup sample of seawater, or even milions of random teacups of water, you might conclude there were no fish in the ocean. They say there may not be a signal becase the aliens do not know we exist or that they may consider us inconsequential. They say, "What if in 1492 the qween stopped funding Columbus just becase he had found any new worlds." They say, "Imagine how foolish you would feel if you didn't try only because someone said you're a lunatic." I say how foolish we are for funding these lunatics who justify their jobs by saying that, while they have no results after 50 years, they will have results if given enough time and money. 

Riots

The involuntary manslaughter conviction of Jonannes Mehserle, a white former transit officer, in the death of Oscar Grant, an unarmed black man, caused thousands of blacks to riot in the streets and loot stores.


This reminds me of when OJ Simpson, a black former football star player, was acquitted of murdering two white people and it caused thousands of whites to riot in the streets and loot stores. Not wait! I'm sorry, that's not correct. While OJ did murder the people, whites did not riot in the streets.

Old saying

Parents have always told their children than anyone may become president. That has now been proven true. anyone may become president, regardless of ability, experience, truthfulness, or loyalty.

Choose the laws to obey

If an illegal immigrant is captured and sent to a deportation hearing, open border advocates will argue that the law is unjust and should not apply. If an illegal immigrant is arrested and charged with a crime, open border advocates will argue that the case should be dismissed because police did not obey some minor point of law.

No rest for the weary

Bad: During the gulf oil spill crisis, the president of BP took a day off and went boating.
Good: During the gulf oil spill crisis, fighting two wars, and a depression, the President of the United Sates took a day off and sent golfing.

BP Bird Kills

The media keeps showing a pelican covered in oil from the BO oil spill, but they never show the thousands of birds killed every day by wind turbines. Econuts say wind turbine bird kills are not that bad considering the number of birds killed by vehicle strikes and collisions with windows. Well, oil spill bird kills are not that bad considering the number of birds killed by wind turbines.

Same thing

Yesterday, at the University or Virginia, a lacrosse player killed his lacrosse player girlfriend. Today, we hear that the women's team will keep playing because that is what she would have wanted. How many players on your team have said "Hey guys, I just want to tell all of you that, if I die, I want the team to keep playing"? If her team will keep playing to honor her, what will the men's team do, keep playing to show support for him?

Hypocrites

Episode 201 of South Park,  which continued a story line involving the Prophet Muhammad, was censored with audio bleeps and image blocks reading “CENSORED” after a the New York Muslim group,  Revolution Muslim, warned the show’s creators they could face violence for depicting that holy Islamic prophet.  Would the creators have done the same thing had a Christian group threatened them for their depictions of Jesus? The answer is no. They know Christians may complain, but that they are basically harmless and thus are subject to ridicule without fear of them actually causing harm. So much for Hollywood's claim of freedom of expression. They will attack anyone who does not fight back, but when threatened by someone they think may actually harm them, they run.

Equal Opportunity

The Navy wanted a woman to be the first to command a destroyer, the USS Winston S. Churchill, so they chose Commander Holly Graf. Of course, they only considered her record; they were not influenced by the fact that her father was a retired Navy captain, or that her older sister is a rear admiral who is married to a rear admiral. Then, despite reports of her demeaning, belittling, humiliating, and berating, the crew of the Churchill, she was subsequently promoted to captain and given command of a cruiser, the USS Cowpens, where she continued her reign of terror. Finally, on January 13, 2010, she was relieved of duty and charged with “cruelty and maltreatment” and “conduct unbecoming an officer. Apparently, the Navy is an equal opportunity employer; it allowed a woman to play the part of Captain Bligh. 

Winter Olympics

Young, virile athletes; old, decrepit commentators. Are there no commentators under 70 years old available to NBC?

Future Leader?

The Naval Academy is where the future officers of the Navy and Marine Corps are formed into leaders. The Navy and the Naval Academy have a “zero drug tolerance police,” which means any service member who is guilty of drug use will be administratively processed for separation. Every day, sailors that come back positive for illegal drugs on random urinalysis tests are processed for discharge.

Naval Academy, Midshipman 3rd Class Marcus Curry, who already had three honor code violations, was on academic probation, and was near the bottom of his class, tested positive for marijuana on a random urinalysis. He was separated from the academy, as others have been, right? No! Not right. You see, Marcus is black and is a star slot back on the academy football team, so he was given another chance.

Now, some future sailors will get a stupid, drug using, division officer to lead them into war.

More Gore-ble Warming

Global warming experts, such as Gore, have predicted that the world as we know it will end in few years. Each spring for the last few years they have predicted increased and violent hurricane activity; when in fact, hurricane activity has decreased. This winter has been extremely cold worldwide. Now the global warmers say this is a only a pause in global warming that will return in a few decades.

Have nations done something in last few months to decrease their CO2 emissions and cause this phase, or is this just a part of the earths weather cycle (just like the warming) that man has no control over. Once again doomsday believers have failed in their predictions. Gore will probably now concentrate his efforts on the end of the world coming in December 2012.

Pee Wee

Pee Wee Herman is back in the limelight again; lets give him a hand.
