Mexican Immigration

Is this really the way to get what you want?  Didn't this type of protest go out of style in the 1960's?  Here's a question?  Where are the naked Mexican men who are protesting? I find this picture to be offensive!  Not because of the Immigration question, and not because of the fact that theses women are naked! 
No, my offense is over the obvious...
These women are not just naked, they are overweight, unattractive and naked. 

That's a deadly combination. 

If you choose to get naked in public you should at least be fit and attractive.  Think of the children!  This country is already battling the "desease" known as obesity.  Why are we letting even more fat illegal people into this country?   

It is time for Americas to get serious.  It is time for us to ban fat naked people from protesting.

What Would Jesus Do?

WWJD?  Would he get mad?  Would he curse the fool?  Or would he weep for the lost soul.  That's what Madonna is, lost.  Weep for her.

The Girl Who Cried Wolf

Thank you Representative McKinney!

You have single handedly brought the bogus charge of racism to its knees.
You along with Kyane "Bush don’t like black people" West and other
race pimps have overused the charge of “racism” to the point of absurdity.  When Representative Tom Delay can call you a racist, you know that now even racist don’t believe that they’re racist!

You are a jewel of colossal stupidity.  And no Tim, I don’t believe that Tom Delay is a racist.  But you do and so there it is!

Finally - The Truth!

I never thought that I would say this but Thank God for Al Jezerra T.V.!  I don't know who this lady is but I pray for her safety and for voice!  May it be amplified through out the Arab world!

This link is the actual video of the woman debating on Al Jezerra. (with English subtitles) What is most interesting is that she is saying things that most in the West will not, either for lack of courage or lack of understanding what is going on between the West and Islam.

Thanks to the brillinat speaker David Zach for the links and above observation.

Dick! Don't Shoot!!!

So, Dick Cheney shot someone.  “Vice President involved in hunting accident!”  Now don’t get me wrong, this is a big deal!  Thank God the guy lived!  How long could the White House have covered this up if Mr. Whittington had died? 

I wonder what Vince Foster has to say about all of this?  Remember him?

How long do you think this story will have a shelf life?  Two months, maybe three?  Just think, what if Cheney had some minorities in his hunting party!  Can you imagine the headlines? 

“Racist Cheney shoots at Condi!”  “Black cabinet members run for their lives!” 

Here’s a dreadful thought, what if Mr. Whittington, the man Cheney shot, would have died!  Can you imagine the funeral?  Jessie Jackson, Rev. Lowery, and Jimmy Carter would have been turning cartwheels on poor Harry’s casket! 

“Weapons of mass destruction”, “Bush lied, the old dude died!”  “Poverty kills poor people!”  Forget six hours, the funeral would have been a twelve-month Bush Bash event!  The Democrats probably would have road ole Harry’s casket right into the Democratic convention! But alas Cheney was a bad shot.  Just a reminder of how little events can change the whole political landscape!

Next up?  A congressional investigation?

Wellstone Redux

Here we go again.  Another funeral hijacked by liberal demagoguery!  First it was Paul Wellstone who died tragically in a plane crash.  The loss was bad enough, but what was truly tragic was watching his colleges and family destroy his legacy and kill his party’s chances of keeping the U.S. Senate.  The memorial service morphed into a vicious partisan pep rally and the national backlash cost the Dems, not only Wellstone’s seat, but possible the presidency itself!

Stupid strategy Democrats!  Did you learn from your folly?  Nope!

Today the King family buried Coretta Scott King, beloved mother to not only her family, but to the whole civil rights movement.  A woman of great character and poise.  She didn’t deserve to have her legacy marred by an uncouth, classless pastor and a disastrous failed ex-president.

Wow!

I have to give the Bush’s credit though; they actually went to the funeral.  If I were in their shoes I wouldn’t have gone.  I would have sent Condoleezza Rice.  Let her take the bullets.  It would have been just another drive by shooting and us black folks are used to black on black crime. Ha!
(Hey don’t get mad at me.  Donovan McNabb said it first!)

On a day that should have been a celebration of Dr. Kings dream and his wife’s undying devotion, we get blowveations on weapons of mass destruction, poverty and wire-tapping.  This a was shameful, disrespectful, sick and offensive abuse.  Anyone remember Hillary Clinton’s speech on MLK day?  Once again blacks get pimped by democrat demigods.  Sadly this time it was on the casket of Coretta Scott King. 

The madding absurdity of it all is that President Clinton, the guy who first uttered the phrase “weapons of Mass destruction,” Ted Kennedy, who's brother Bobby actually authorized wire taps on Coretta Scott Kings husband and the failed Jimmy Carter, who didn't do a damn thing about poverty during his administration (Nor did Bill) were all sitting in the front row as Reverend Lowery sang song his vile belch! 

What a mess!

After the fuenral, I imagine Corretta turned to Paul in heaven and said, “What the hell?”

The First Black Presidents Wife

Hillary Clinton is talking about Plantations again, and on Martin Luther King Jr. day no less.  Why do lefty boomer politicians continuously get away with saying wacky racial crap ALL THE TIME?  Why do idiots like Harry Belafonte get to spout off at the mouth and have their rants taken seriously?  WHY?  Do you know why?  Because black people let them, that’s why! 

Well I’m a black person and I’m putting my foot down.  I’VE HAD ENOUGH!

Remember when Trent Lott gave Senator Strom Thurmond some special birthday love?  All he did was lie to an old at his birthday party.  “We all would have been better off if you were in charge”.  That’s what he said!  “Strom, you’re a good man and we appreciate your service.”   By the time the firestorm was over, Trent had to by shares in BET (Black Entertainment Television), and he still got fired from his post!  Lefties were appalled. “Tisk tisk tisk” giving aid and comfort to an old racist like Strom.  Never mind the fact that Robert KKK Byrd is still in their ranks!

Now Hillary is in Harlem on MLK day and we’ve got inappropriate slave talk being thrown about.  Not to worry though, she was/is married to America’s first black president… (Yeah, o.k.) Here is a question for my white readers.  Would you ever stand in front of a black audience (or even a white audience) and use racially charged rhetoric to illustrate your point?  No.  You probably wouldn’t.  The question is why not?  What makes you different from Hillary Clinton?  Again the answer is simple.  You are decent whereas Hillary is not.  You don’t take black people for granted, whereas Hillary does.  And here’s the big one.  If you were to lay a verbal racial egg you would probably here about it from your good friends and family, which would prompt you to apologize!  As a normal person you probably don’t have a bunch of boot kissing sycophants standing around kissing your ass every time you screw up.  That’s because again, you are normal!  Hillary Clinton and most liberal Democrats in power are not normal and this is the reason why white liberals get away with spewing racial wackiness, black Boomercrats (the older generation of black folks) defend the indefensible?  It is the black leadership in the Democratic Party who are the real problem!  After Hillary’s asinine comment how long did it take for Senator Barrack Obama and the black cabal to pucker up?

Smooooch!

Talk about the slave mentality.  Who’s zooming whom?  If they would stand up, Hillary would sit down.  What’s in it for Barrak anyway?  A future VP spot under Ms. Clinton?  Ohhhhh, now that’s rich! 

Some of you might recall the fallout between Obama and Alan Keyes in 2004.  Keyes ignited a firestorm by calling Obama's views on abortion the "slaveholder's position." Obama responded to the then outrageous remark by saying that Keyes, "should look to members of his own party to see if that's appropriate if he's going to use that kind of language." * Humm. O.K.
Hey Obamma, whom should Hillary look to?  If you, of all people won’t tell her that her comments were inappropriate, who will?  What is it with democrats and hypocrisy?  Why do black boomacrats beat up on independent black thinkers like Keys (nut job that he is) but give liberal white folks, who say the same thing, a pass?  Who is the Uncle Tom here?   Who is exhibiting the Plantation mentality?

And all of this on Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

P.S.  Uncle Tom was really a cool guy.  Read
Uncle Tom’s Cabin (The Book people, The BOOK!!).

"Ashamed"

Last week I received e-mail from a friend with the word “Ashamed” in the subject line.  Even though my friend is a lefty and is pretty darned brilliant, his timing sucked!  His e-mail went onto chastise Republicans for deficit spending etc. al.   I conceded the point.  Republicans should be ashamed.  When they were out of power BIG Government was the bad guy, now that they are in power they are spending like the proverbial drunken sailor…  but so what?  I thought that it was about the economy stupid?

If you want to talk about shame explain this:

Ted Kennedy has implied that Judge Samuel Alito should not sit on the highest court in the land because of Alitos moral failings.  (Judge Alito was once affiliated with the Concerned Alumni of Princeton…  Huh!)  This is stupefying in its stupidity!  Is this all that you have?  And if it is, why in the name of all that is holy and just would the Dems drag out ole Teddy to question anybody on anything regarding ethics?!?  Is this the party that has old KKK Robert Byrd still in its ranks?

Wow!  This party is killing itself with a thousand little paper cuts!

Then It Hit Me

This morning, as I was watching T.V. in the barbershop, Divorce Court was preempted by the presidents Rose Garden speech.  I couldn’t watch it.  The very sight of the president agitated me.  The reason Bush had to have a press conference is because he knew that he had pissed me off.  I am the base that he is trying to reassure with the “trust me” bull crap.  Did he have to have a “trust me” press conference with Judge Roberts?  No.  Why?  Because Judge Roberts had a record.  I don’t trust Bush on this issue because I shouldn’t have to.  He told me that he was going to appoint someone in the tradition of Anthony Scaliea and Clarence Thomas did he?  Gee, don’t know yet, I’ll have to wait ten years to find out and that’s the problem.  I should know right now!

O.k., time to play the race card. Barber Shop!  Why did I have to be in the Barbershop!!! Every week for the last 20+ years I have been going to the same barber to get my haircut.  Now, I am a politically outspoken guy and it is no secret that my barber and I are at odds when it comes to politics.  Not just me and my barber, but me and the whole d*%# barbershop!  Being one of 3 black conservative in the state of Wisconsin, it comes with the territory. 

When the Pres popped on the T.V. somebody yelled “Hey shut up, James T.’s mans on the tube, lets see what he has to say about not putting that Black judge on the court!”

And there it was.

This is why I feel so betrayed by the President.  He swung and missed!  He had the opportunity to hit the trifecta of judicial appointments: Female, Black & CONSERVATIVE!  Holy could of, should of, Why Didn’t You!!! 

I believe that over the term of his presidency Mr. Bush has put forth a valiant effort to make inroads to the black community.  The appointments to his cabinet have been stellar!  He has reached out to African Americans on numerous occasions and I really do believe that he is a sincere and righteous man, however he BLEW IT on the biggest play of the game.  Like Robert Ferguson (the sorry wide receiver of the hapless Green Bay Packers) who let the opposition snatch the ball right out of his hands, on Monday Night Football no less!  Bush, by not appointing someone like Janice Rodgers Brown to the Supreme Court, let the Dems snatch ball right out of his hands by losing the opportunity to let Black conservative fight for themselves on a national stage.  Can you imagine the likes of Senators Ted Kennedy and Herb Kohl taking on the likes of Janice Rodgers Brown?  How many Black Democrats would be willing to support two rich, old, really white trust fund lefties as they lecture the brilliant daughter of a share cropper on the finer points of racism and sexism in this country.  Would have loved to see it!

The spectacle would have opened the eyes of millions.   

For twenty years I have been fighting the good fight.  Some of the “Barbershop battles” that I have fought in have been legendary.  But today I was silenced.  Stabbed in the back by the very man whose water I carried.  In the barbershop. 
At least I looked good.

Huh?

Who is this woman standing by the President?  And why does she look like the cat that just ate the canary? 
BECAUSE SHE DID!  OH DEAR LORD!  This is Bush’s next pick for the Supreme Court???  With all of the brilliant choices out there he goes with this?  The old saying is true:  The acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree, (unless your name is Ron Reagan jr. in his case the nut turned into a fruit and fell miles to the left of the tree.)  With all of that said, cyclically, Bush is still on track.  The nominee is a first wave boomer although a tweener which means she may have the Silent generations tenancy to compromise. 
Hummm
My official prediction:  I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Ms. Harriet Miers is going to get the hook.  The right won’t play ball.  Bush has shown his true color.  He has sold out the Right and they are not going to play nice.

There it is.
