I know, it's hard to imagine a democrat being accused of corruption charges let alone being convicted and sent to prison.
Yeah right!
Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, the mayor who in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina announced to the world he would rebuild New Orleans as a "Chocolate City" has been convicted of 20 of the 21 felony corruption charges filed against him.
Read more about the charges by clicking the link below:
Remember back during the last debt ceiling crisis how all you dedicated, hardcore Obama supporters hammered Ted Cruz for having the nerve to demanding that the employer mandate be delayed for a year?
I do.
Remember how you viciously attacked him for playing politics with people's lives?
I do.
Remember how you whined on and on about the tens of millions of helpless children who would be forced to go without healthcare if he got his way?
I do.
Remember when Nancy Pelosi told you the blatant lie about Obamacare creating 4 million jobs? (See today's lead video in case you've forgotten)
I do.
Remember when the Obamacare website crashed and burned on day one and all you true believers called it a good thing because the law was so popular that millions of people were trying to get on at the same time?
I do. And it was one of the funniest spectacles I've ever had the pleasure of watching.
Remember how the Republicans tried in vain to warn you about how bad this thing was going to be and how you called us liars, hate-mongers, racists and such?
I do.
Then riddle me this.
If this law was so well thought out and such a good thing why has your president bypassed congress and made 27 different changes to his perfect law all on his own since the day it was implemented?
Where's was your outrage the first time your president took ted Cruz's advice and delayed the employeer mandate till November of this year?
And where is it now that he's delayed it once again until November of 2016?
Aren't the same tens of millions of helpless children you claimed to care so deeply about going to be forced to go without healthcare?
Face it, you've been had.
This latest delay was nothing more than a political stunt to help vulnerable democrats make it through November's Mid-Term elections.
Of course you'll never admit it but deep down in your cold liberal hearts you know I'm right.
VIEWER WARNING: TODAY'S VIDEO IS ALMOST 10 MINUTES LONG SO I KNOW VERY FEW IF ANY OF YOU WILL BOTHER TO WATCH IT. THAT'S FINE. BUT THE TRUTH'S RIGHT THERE TO THOSE WHO AREN"T SCARED OF IT.
Anyway, it cracks me up every time I hear or listen to some leftist babbling on and on about those evil Koch brothers and their Americans for Prosperity (APF) organization.
According to the leftists peddling this nonsense the Koch brothers are the only billionaires in the political manipulation game and they'd like you to believe the democrats don't have anybody with the kind of money or influence the Koch brothers have.
Those who spin this obvious lie are either completely ignorant of the facts and really, truly don't know any better or they're willfully ignorant of the facts and are lying.
Personally, I believe it's the latter. But what do I know, I'm just an old guy.
But just for giggles and grins, let's play along and pretend they've never made the connection between the Democrats and the Hollywood elite. They've never heard of the guy named Warren Buffet. They've never heard that the Democrats enjoy the enormous financancial backing of every public and private sector unions in the country and they've never heard of The New York Times or MSNBC.
And every single one of them act like the guy named George Soros doesn't even exist.
Well he does. And he exists in a very big, spooky way.
The following is a list of organizations directly funded by none other than George Soros.
Read the list and then you decide.
Who's doing the most political manipulation? The Koch Brothers with their Americans for Prosperity (APF) of George Soros with his world wide network of radical activists.
Advancement Project: This organization works to organize "communities of color" into politically cohesive units promoting leftist policies.
Air America Radio: Now defunct leftist radio station.
All of Us or None: This organization seeks to change voting laws.

America Coming Together: This organization's mission is to organizes and promote pro-Democrat voter-mobilization programs.
America Votes: Another pro-Democrat get out the vote organization.
America's voice: Open borders group pushing amnesty for illegal aliens.
American Bar Association on Immigration policy: Another open borders group pushing for amnesty for illegal aliens.
American Bridge 21st Century: This group provides Democrat candidates information (dirt) on their Republican opponents.
American Civil Liberties Union: This group opposes almost every security measure taken since the attacks of 9-11. They're also big time open borders people and have been quick to defend suspected terrorists.
American Constitution Society for Law and Policy: A Washington DC based think-tank designed to recrute, indoctrinate and mobilize young law students.
American Family Voices: This group creates and coordinates media campaigns against Republican candidates.
American Federation of Teachers: This powerful teachers union works to make sure everyone adheres to left wing policies.
American Friends Service Committee: This group views The United State as the principal cause of human suffering. They're big open borders supporters, pro amnesty and abololition of the death penalty.
American Immigration Council: Another open border group pushing for amnesty.
American Immigration Law Foundation: Another open border group.
American Institute of Social Justice: Obviously one of Obama's favorite groups.

And the list goes on and on and on.
Click on the link below for the entire list of George Soros funded left-wing groups and see for yourself.
Well guys, we've been at it a week now and so far so good.
And since my old self is worn out and too tired to come up with anything interesting to write about tonight anyway I figured we may as well just stick to the Open Blog Friday.
It's a good chance to get reaquainted and to blow off a little steam.
So you might as well jump in there and get after it.
Stay safe and be well, my friends...

There's so many things wrong with this country today it's hard to know where to even start.
I guess I could start by reminding you guys about Obama's"LIE OF THE YEAR" where he repeatedly promised us that if we liked our healthcare insurance and our doctors we could keep them both.
We all know how that turned out.
I could remind you of when Nancy Pelosi made her bizarre claim that passing Obabacare would create 4 million jobs and that 400,000 of them would be created almost immediately. (See today's lead video)
It turns out her lie was almost as big a lie as Obama's was.
According to the CBO report released yesterday there will be 2.5 million fewer jobs within the next ten years as a direct result of the Obamacare lie that was shoved down our throats.
But hey, the Obama people have made it perfectly clear they don't care about no stinkin lies.
In Obama's America 26-year-old's are still considered 'children' and they can stay put on mommy and daddy's healthcare policies.
Well, the one's who's parents still happen to be married, have jobs, and haven't had their insurance policies cancelled as a direct result of the Obamacare lies have that option.
The rest of them?
Well, they're screwed.
They're required by law to pay higher premiums so that millions of older Americans and the ever growing number of American free loaders can receive their government sanctioned, rationed, and subidized healthcare.
With a rock solid plan like that what could possibly go wrong?
I'd say I feel sorry for them but people in their age group voted overwhelmingly for the Hope and Change slogan Obama sold them.
Suck it up, children. You got what you voted for.
Oh, don't even bother getting in my face about calling them children either.
Take a look for yourself at the ads the Obama administration is running (see today's second, third, and fourth videos) to reach out to them.
They look more like something you'd see aimed at a bunch of second graders.
No longer are we a nation of laws.
The people of Arizona decided they wanted to do something about securing their wide open border with Mexico.
We'll destroy you in court, says Obama and his hitman, Eric Holder.
The people of Kansas and other states decided they really liked the idea of showing a simple photo ID when casting a vote.
That's racist and we'll destroy you in court, says Obama and his hitman, Eric Holder.
The people of many states all across the country made it perfectly clear they wanted marriage to be a marriage between one man and one woman.
That's homophobic and we'll destroy you in court, says Obama and his hitman, Eric Holder.
However, the people of Colorado and Washington decided they really liedtheir pot.
Cool, we'll just look the other way, says Obama and his hitman,Eric Holder.
No doubt about it. The inmates have definitely taken over the asylum...
Kevin McGinty
Liberals crack me up.
They go on and on about how everything they do, say and believe in is based on sound scientific principles.
They yell at the top of their lungs about the global warming that's going to kill us all.
And even though not a single one of their doom and gloom, end of the world predictions have ever come true they claim it's settled science.
Period. End of story.
They've fought tooth and nail for the last five and a half years to stop the Keystone Pipeline dead in it's tracks because, well, because the science was on their side.
At least they thought it was.
Late last week the State Department released it's long awaited scientific based Environment Impact Report concerning the pipeline project and it the liberals mad as hell about it.
It more or less debunked the notion that moving 830,000 barrels of oil a day through the pipeline wold dramatically increase greenhouse emmisions.
The report pointed out that using alternate modes of transportation such as rail, trucks and barges would generate about 30% more greenhouse emmisions that the pipelineever would.
The liberals yelled and screamed about the potential environmental disaster from a spill.
But according to the report using the alternative modes of transportation pose a much greater risk to the environment.
Now that the scientific evidence has been presented and a consensus has been reached they'd be happy.
Wrong.
Like everything else liberal they're all loving and supportive as long as it goes their way.
They're turning their back on the very science they've held up as a symbol of truth and righteousness all their lives and are now calling for wide spread civil disobedience.
Face it libs, you're on the wrong side of history.
More and more people are waking up to the fact that your entire global warming hysteria is a scam.
But hey, good luck with that whole civil disobedience thing.

Evidently in the hate filled, racist and bigoted world of MSNBC it's impossible for blacks and whites to get along.
In their world view we must be divided.
We must hate each other.
And under no circumstances are we to intermingle our races by getting married and raising a family.
No, that wont do at all.
In their world view there's no such thing as a black conservative and no way in hell are interracial marriages allowed.
What a bunch of dopes they are...
Kevin McGinty
Yeah I know. A lot of you guys probably watched President Obama trying to rally his ever shrinking base during last night's State of The Union Speech.
Sorry, I just couldn't do it.
However I did get up early today and read up on what he had to say and how the media was reporting it.
After about an hour of scouring the internet I came to the conclusion I should have just slept in.
As far as I can tell he had nothing new to offer.
In fact there are rumors going around about parts of his speech being plagerized from George W. Bush's 2007 State of The Union Speech.
http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2014/01/29/Former-Bush-Speechwriter-Obama-Plagiarized-Bushs-2007-SOTU-Speech
I guess in a weird sort of way that's a positive.
It's taken six long years but he's finally gotten away from blaming George Bush for his many failures and is now plagerizing his words.
That right there's something you democrats oughta proud of.
And of course his dedicated media lap dogs just loved everything he had to say.
They fall all over themselves making excuses for his policy failures.
They blame a divided congress.
They blame repubicans, especially those evil Tea Party types.
They blame Fox News and talk radio.
They blame conservative bloggers.
They blame an uninterested population for his low approval ratings.
But they never mention why so many of us have lost interst in his empty words.
It could be that most Americans resent the hell out of being spied on and the ever growing police state we're living in.
It could be that the majority of us understand that extending unemployment benefits and raising the minimum wage won't do diddly squat for any of us.
It could be that a lot of us are still outraged by the way this administration used the IRS to punish and silence their political opponents.
It could be we're still waiting to find out who made the decision to blame their disgraceful non-response reaction in Benghazi on a stupid YouTube video.
Maybe it's due to the fact that 6 years into the Obama administration the world has become a much more dangerous place.
Iran is laughing in our faces as they continue to march toward their long sought goal of obtaining nuclear weapons.
Russia and Syria played us for a bunch of chumps and Assad is still killing hundreds of thousands of his own people.
Instead of the democracy and freedom the world was promised, Egypt's Arab Spring has resulted in an Egypt embroiled in complete and total chaos.
And we sit by and watch as the long and hard fought gains our troops made in Iraq and Afghanistan are given away like they never mattered in the first place.
No, the media never wants talk about any of that.
And they sure as hell don't want to talk about the repeated, bald faced lies Obama told us in order to shove his much hated Obamacare law down our throats.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpa-5JdCnmo
America, it's time for a new direction.
The path we've so foolishly chosen is destined for failure and we all know it.
Today I ask you to stand with me as I stand with people like Rand Paul.
We need to write letters to the editors of any and every newspaper we can think of.
We need to talk to our famlies, friends and neighbors.
We need to call into talk radio shows.
We need to get involved in political campaigns even if it's something as simple as placing a few yard signs.
Why?
Well, it sure isn't to try some lib's mind.
It's to let other like minded people know they're not alone.
Like Joe Biden once said, "It is a big..."
Ah never mind, you know what he said...
Kevin McGinty
We all know that in order to fix a problem, we must be willing to admit there is one in the first place. And America, we definitely have a problem. A big one.
On the day, Obama was sworn into office, he spoke directly to the five million Americans who didn’t vote for him and promised he’d be our president too. After hearing that statement, I remember thinking, okay, maybe things won’t be that bad after all. Maybe he wouldn’t turn out to be the radical leftist I thought he‘d be. Well, it turns out I was right and that he lied.
Tell me, was he being our president as he trotted around the globe, bowing down to foreign leaders, and bashing America on the world stage we handed him? Was he being our president as he forced Obama-Care down our throats? Was he being our president as he sided with Mexican President, Felipe Calderon as he launched his all-out, verbal assault on the citizens of Arizona during a joint session of Congress? Was he being our president when he directed his Justice Department to sue Arizona for trying to enforce the immigration laws the feds have ignored for years? I could go on and on, but I think you get the point.
Anyway, with the mid-term elections only four short weeks away, and with his grip on total control slipping away, Obama has decided it is time to rally his base. He’s going to throw a little rally in Washington DC this weekend, on October, 2nd and he’s pulling out all the stops in order to get as many people involved as possible. He’s joined forces with just about every far-left, anti-American, Socialist, Marxist, and Communist organization he could dig up to spread the word.
Besides the usual left-wing organizations. You know, organizations like Planned Parenthood, AFL-CIO, The NAACP, ACLU, and The National Council of La Raza, Obama has aligned himself with others that in my opinion are a little weird for any American president to be involved with www.theblaze.com Organizations like, The Communist Party of America. Democratic Socialists of America, Detroit Socialists of America, The International Socialist Organization, and The New York City Democrat Socialists of America. Isn’t it time we stopped pretending Obama’s not at the very least, a socialist? By aligning himself with these anti-American and Communist groups, Obama has shown us once and for all his true colors. These are the people he’s chosen to stand with.
Obama’s made his choice. Now it’s our turn. We can either start paying attention to what’s going on in our country and fire his corrupt enablers in Congress on November 2nd. We can decide to embrace his ideas and accept the fact that we’re headed down his Socialist path. Or we can just sit on the couch watching American Idol and pretend everything’s okay.
It’s all about marketing. First off, when nothing could have been further from the truth, Obama was sold to America and the world as a new kind of leader. His handlers promised us hope and change. They said he’d be a new kind of leader. One who could rise above petty political bipartisanship that had become the norm. He was sold as a man who would change the way things were done in Washington. Yep, marketing plain and simple.
Instead of terrorism, he brought us “man-made disasters.” We went from the “war on terror” to an “overseas contingency operation.” See how that works? Pretty cool, huh?
And now because of the fact that “global-cooling” from the 60’s and 70’s didn’t get the results the eco extremists were looking for they started calling it “global-warming.” That didn’t pan out so it was changed to “climate-change” and still not enough people fell for the doom and gloom they were selling, so they’ve decided to try it one more time.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I’d like to introduce you to the latest and greatest, extremist, marketing ploy. Welcome to the world of, “Global Climate Disruption,”
Yep, Obama, you know, they guy who’s lied to us ever since he came on the scene a couple years ago wants the public to start using the term every chance we get. Evidently he believes the new term, “Global Climate Disruption” will better suit his extreme views and better his chances to pass his coveted “Cap and Tax” redistribution scheme.
Man, this hope and change marketing strategy just keeps getting better…
Yeah I know. Yesterday I promised I’d write about Sharia Law today. But really, other than fanning the flames of an already over-heated issue, what purpose would it serve? Nothing. I’ve already made my case as to why I oppose the proposed Mosque in New York and I have no intentions of backing off anything I said either.
That being said, I still live in the real world. And in the real world we all know that Muslims have the right to build their Mosque anywhere they want. That was never even in question. And since this is the real world, I know the that more than likely this Mosque will eventually be built. That doesn’t mean I have to like it. And whether you left-wing loons like it or not, I have the right to say so.
It‘s not a total loss though. Two very important things have happened since this fight erupted last weekend.
First, the left-wing lunatics in this country have apparently found God. How else can you explain why all the sudden they’re so damned passionate about the whole “Freedom of Religion” thing?
And secondly, with just seventy-some days left to go until November’s Mid-Term elections, by needlessly injecting himself into this fight, Obama has once again acted stupidly. And that my friends is, simply priceless. Predictable but priceless just the same…
The Imam who wants to build his Mosque at the site of the worst terrorist attacks the world has ever seen says it’s to build bridges and bring people together. Well, bud, you’re not exactly getting off to a very good start, now are you?
Here’s the deal. American’s, well, most of us anyway, don’t like being pushed around. And this is just one more thing being shoved down our throats since Obama has been president, and to tell you the truth, we’re sick and tired of it.
It pains me say this, but I did agree with Obama’s first statements when he spoke about Freedom of Religion and about how because of the rights guaranteed in our Constitution, Muslims have just as much right to practice their Religion as the see fit as anybody else. I get that.
But why all the sudden interest in the Constitution? I thought for, Obama, all you democrats, progressives, liberals, and left-wing loons out there, the Constitution was just an out-dated document that has no real meaning in today‘s world. It’s funny but you guys can look at this out-dated document and tell us it means we have no right to say a prayer or recite the pledge of allegiance in our public schools anymore. You can see where it forbids any public display of The Ten Commandments. You can quickly point out where it says we’re not allowed to put up a simple Nativity Scene in a City Park. You use it to remove crosses on hilltops that have been around for fifty or sixty years, bothering no one. You demand we remove any and all crosses from the tombstones of our fallen heroes in Arlington Cemetery. And that list could go on forever and you know it. But now, all the sudden, the exact same document used to stifle any mention any mention of Christianity in public is now being used as a tool to force this Mosque upon us.
Besides, I thought you guys were passionate about the whole “Separation of Church and State” thing. If that’s the case, then why the hell is, The President of The United States even commenting on a religious issue in the first place? I don’t believe speaking on religious issues is part of his job description.
How about this. How about instead of using our Constitution and laws against us to get his way. How about the Imam realize his actions are going to cause a lot of people a lot of pain just by bringing the whole 9-11 thing up again and build his Mosque either at another time or another place? Why can’t he be the understanding and tolerant one for a change?
I promised myself I’d never forget the images I saw and the emotions I felt on the day Muslim Extremists attacked my country and killed 3,000 innocent people who had nothing to do with any of it. It‘s a promise I‘ve kept. I haven’t forgotten and I’m not ready to forgive either. If that makes me a bad person, so be it…
Last year the City, and all those really smart people down at the Chamber of Commerce told us that a vote in favor of the tax increase they were proposing was in fact, a vote for the future of Topeka. They told us it was the only way the city could afford to fix the streets that had been allowed to deteriorate to the point of almost no return.
No, I don’t blame those of you who bought into the whole “Save the Streets” campaign they were selling. We’d all been dodging Topeka’s now famous potholes for what seemed like forever. The stories of ruined tires, broken wheels, and visits to local alignment shops were out there everywhere. Enough of you believed in them and trusted that they’d do the right thing, so you voted the way you did. But I do have to ask one question to ask. How’s that working out for you?
Evidently, City Manager, Norton Bonaparte and Mayor, Bill Bunten have decided the promise to fix the streets wasn’t actually a promise to fill the potholes that have become an embarrassment to all of us who call Topeka home. Now they’re claiming the vote was one in favor of major infrastructure projects and was never intended to include the car swallowing potholes that cover almost every major street in this city. Whatever.
Mr. Mayor, I realize my opinion probably isn‘t all that important to you, but just the same, I’m going to throw it out there anyway, because, well, that‘s what I do. Anyway, you really need to stop and listen to someone besides, Jeff Preisner, and Norton Bonaparte for a change. And I really don’t care to hear any more about the way you and your crew interpret what the voters were voting on either. You haven’t found some magic loophole that’s going to allow you to renege on the promises you made. It’s time to drop the charade.
Mr. Mayor, do you remember how badly you beat your opponent, Jeff Preisner in the last election? Have you ever wondered why so many people supported you over him? It’s pretty simple really, it was because we trusted you. We trusted that you’d do the right thing.
Mr. Mayor, the ball’s in your court. It’s time to stop playing games and prove to us once and for all that that trust wasn’t misplaced…
Regardless of the category, I’d like to throw out a well deserved “hell yeah” to all this winners of this year’s, Capital-Journal’s “Best of Topeka” contest. Each and every one of you should be proud of the job you’re doing. Gaining the trust and respect of customers, friends, and associates, especially for consecutive years, doesn’t just happen, it takes hard work and dedication. Ya’ll done good.
But since I spend most of my time hanging around here in the blogs, I’d like to throw out special “hell yeah” to the winners of the “Best Cjonline Blogger” category! What can I say? You guys are all pros and bring so much to the table, it’s no wonder you were chosen the best in this particular category.
Ric Anderson; What can you say about this guy? He puts his quirky and twisted sense of humor out there for all the world to see. I don’t think he’s ever written anything I haven’t enjoyed reading.
Austin Meeks; This guy lives and breathes K-State sports. If there’s anything you want to know about K-State, Austin’s the guy.
Tim Hrenchir; A professional in all aspects of what he does. When Tim speaks, people listen.
Jim Cates; Anybody who’s known me for any length of time, knows Jim and I have been good friends for many years now. I’ve always valued his opinion as well as his knowledge and insight. And I’ve always appreciated his support and encouragement in this whole writing thing. So if you hate the things I write about, you now the truth. It’s Jim’s fault. But Jim hasn’t posted a blog since February and now the people have spoken. It’s time he got back into the game.
Brent Whitten; Ah, what a story he told. Mostly I remember his wife, Rachel’s column she used to write for The Capital-Journal. She told us stories of life. Stories we could all relate to. She told us about her soldier husband being injured in a bombing by a suicide attacker as he and his unit were out patrolling in their humvee. And I remember being truly disappointed the day I read her “Goodbye and Thanks” column. Yeah, their’s was a wonderful story back in 2006.
And Bill Blankenship; Another professional, and no doubt about it, he deserves his spot among the best of the. Funny thing is though, I couldn’t remember ever seen his blog and really wanted to hear what he had to say. I clicked my way through old blogs back to April of this year only to come up short. Then I tried what I should have done in the first place. I found his “profile page.” http://cjonline.com/user/bill_blankenship That’s when I found out Bill Blankenship’s never even set up a blog. How weird is that?
Sorry Ric, but I gotta call bullshit here. But hey, we both know it’s your world and I’m just passing through. Besides in a hundred years, it won’t matter anyway. Do me a favor though, will you? Would you get them to get my new picture (Avatar) up and running?
Oh yeah, I noticed you guys avoided a couple of categories this year. You didn’t include The Best Male and Female Radio Personalities. What’s that all about?
I love the way the Tiahrt-Moran has turned out. Both camps are in full attack mode. Both sides are doing their very best to make their opponents look like one of the worst people to ever live. Depending on who’s latest attack ad you’re watching, a vote for so and so, is either a vote for the abortion industry or a vote in support of illegals and terrorists who want to destroy this country. A vote for my opponent would be a vote against all of humanity, and may God have mercy on our souls. Whatever.
I have no idea who’ll be the last man standing in this stupid fight. But it’ll be awesome to watch the loser to turn right around and try to convince us the victor in this mess is one of the best men who’s ever lived and is the only person capable of saving the world when it comes time for the general election in November.
It just keeps coming. Eric Holder let it be known the Black Panthers could do as they pleased. And now the NAACP passed a resolution condemning the Tea Party for racism. They demanded that the leaders of the movement renounce the racist elements among their ranks. Wow!
And this is right on the heels of the whole Black Panther voter intimidation thing. It’s funny how they claim racism and violent extremists but have very little to back up the charges. But on the other hand, we have video proof of a man who calls himself, King Samir Shabazz, a Black Panther member who calls for the killing of “Crackers” and “Cracker Babies,” intimidating voters outside a polling station in Philadelphia, and it doesn’t even deserve a mention. Weird, huh?
Evidently the Tea Party ( white people) have all been officially labeled racists while the Black Panthers are given a pass. Why isn’t the NAACP renouncing the racists elements in their own ranks?
So now we have the leader of the Black Panther Party, Malik Zulu Shabazz threatening to have a presence at future Tea Party rallies, you know, just to keep an eye on things. Yeah, that’s a great idea. How long before the KKK, skinheads, and every other wacko, extremist group out there decides to get in the game?
Then what? Are we going back to the days of race riots? Back to the days when we all hated each other? Back to the days when the National Guard was called upon to stand against our own citizens? Why? What’s the point?
Remember the day Obama stood with Mexican President Calerone as he condemned Arizona for simply trying to enforce the exact same immigration laws Obama should have been enforcing all along. Remember how every Democrat present gave Calderone a standing ovation when he finished condemning the very citizens each and every one of them had sworn to defend? I do.
Here’s the deal. We’re all being used like pawns on a giant chess board. They’re stirring up hatred and racial tensions for a reason. They’re turning us against each other. But why? Whether we want to admit it or not, we’re all being sucked into the hate. Just look at the way some of us treat each other on this blog. How’s this going to play out? What’s this country going to look like in ten year? Just asking.
Oh, and for the record, this will probably be the last time I attempt to write about race and racism. I know it’s a fight I can’t win. But hey, I had to give it one last shot…
“Like you, Kevin, I resent being called a racist because of my political party affiliation or my political opinions. If MrWednesdaynight (MWN) is correct and you’re doing the same thing to Obama, then it’s just part of getting sidetracked by a non-issue.”
Point taken, Fred and maybe MWN has a point. And so did Mick. He kind of jumped right in there, slapped me around, and in the process he made an excellent argument. I respect that.
Alright, so I chose my words poorly. Sorry. Calling Obama the most racist and divisive president ever was probably over the top. I’m not even real sure why I wrote about the subject of race in the first place. Well, I do know and I’ll get to that in a minute. But it’s a no win topic, no matter who’s talking about it.
Let’s just drop all the other stuff and talk about the Black Panther voter intimidation case. That’s what really set me off in the first place and what led me to write this in the first place.
Until people in this country can be honest about what happened at that polling station in Philly, we’re never going to get anywhere. You’ve seen the videos. You’ve seen the man who calls himself King Samir Shabazz screaming into his microphone to anyone who’ll listen how much he hates crackers (white people) and calling on blacks to kill crackers and their cracker babies. And you’ve seen this exact same man wielding a night stick and his Black Panther brother standing guard standing outside this polling station. There’s no question as to what they were doing there. But for some reason people refuse to see it. MWN refers to them simply as a couple of dudes with glow sticks. Nimper wants to ignore it all together by pointing out real voter intimidation in the Jim Crow South. Whatever.
And now, Obama and his Justice Department have sided with the guy who calls for cracker babies to be killed.
Maybe I was wrong. Maybe this isn’t about racism after all. Maybe it’s all about pay back. You know, pay back for things that happened before anyone living today was even born. Yeah, that makes sense…
Remember back when I ran the “Obama as the Joker” avatar? It took about thirty seconds from the time I first posted it till I was automatically and permanently branded a racist by some of my fellow bloggers. Yeah, thirty seconds. Evidently enough of you complained enough to Ric Anderson that the following week he deemed it inappropriate for Cjonline and removed it. I expected that.
I have a question today for those who were so quick to label me a racist: How much longer are you going to pretend that Obama isn’t the biggest racist and most divisive president we’ve ever had?
You refused to even consider it when it was revealed that for twenty years your guy sat in the church of one of the biggest American-hating, racist preachers out there, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. You unconditionally believed him when he claimed he’d never been present during any of the Reverends more objectionable sermons. Whatever.
You didn’t even bat an eye when he told the story of him grandmother being scared at the idea of being followed by two black men. He described her as a “typical white person.” And you believed him when he claimed “the police acted stupidly” when he automatically sided with the black professor over the white Cambridge police officer, admittedly without even knowing the facts of the case.
Are you going to simply dismiss the testimony of J. Christian Adams, an ex-Justice Department official who quit over the handling of the Black Panther voter intimidation case? He testified under oath that he quit his post because his department had been ordered by his former boss, Eric Holder, who gets his orders from his boss, Obama to drop all charges in the case even though it was an open and shut case that had already been won? I suppose he was lying when he also testified he was ordered to ignore cases that involved black defendants and white victims.
Are you willing to take an honest look at Obama’s actions and judge him accordingly or are you going to continue to live in the make believe world of denial?
