I think I may have stumbled across (my brain is actually quite good at stumbling) a way to make inroads into the black vote so heavily hooked into voting for Democrats.

Blacks are overwhelmingly socially conservative.  Something like 70+% are against abortion, gay marriage, etc.  Why do conservatives not point out that there are roughly 300,000 black babies murdered every year by being aborted.  Since 1973 when the Supreme Court made the controversial ruling Roe v Wade that allowed abortion, more than 11 million black babies have been killed.  That's almost twice the number of innocent lives lost than during The Holocaust.

This from the on-line dictionary:  genocide |ˈjenəˌsīd|
noun
the deliberate killing of a large group of people, esp. those of a particular ethnic group or nation.

If 300,000 blacks being murdered each year isn't genocide, then maybe we need a new definition.  It's not Republicans or conservatives that are in favor of this.  In fact, Margaret Sanger, a Democrat and founder of Planned Parenthood, had as her sole purpose of founding the organization the "thinning of the herd" of blacks in this country.  She appealed to groups like the KKK.

"I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan...I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses...I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak...In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered." (Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography, P.366)

And who supports Planned Parenthood today?  Why that would be the Democrat Party.  The same party that formed the KKK, passed Jim Crow laws and seceded from the Union because slavery was being threatened.  Maybe it's time we told the truth about Democrats. 

Maybe we can convince some black Americans that they're being taken for a ride...and to the ovens.

I have not been one to buy into the whole "birther" movement that claims Barack Hussein Obama is not a natural born American and thereby not eligible to serve as President of The United States.  This isn't because I whole-heartedly believe that President Obama was born in Hawaii, but more because I have not seen any definitive proof that he was not.  And in a court of law, that's enough for reasonable doubt.

 

In addition, there are facets to this story that make me cringe every time I hear or read about Obama's ineligibility.   Primarily because this is major distraction from the damage this man has done and continues to do to our nation.  The longer we focus on this non-issue, the less time we spend talking about the real harm he is doing.  This provides easy cover for him as he goes about his nefarious activities in his quest to "fundamentally change The United States of America."  The more the birthers try to convince us of his ineligibility, the more they look like loons and the Obama-mania media is happy to paint all conservatives with this broad brush.  I believe that is the reason why it took more than two years to produce an official birth certificate.  The more this distracted us, the more the president and his minions could get away with.  And they got away with plenty.

 

Also, if the birthers expect Obama to be impeached, they are obviously on some kind of happy drug, because it will not happen.  The Senate is where the impeachment will be held and the Democrats control it.  Does anyone in their right mind expect the Dems to vote against their idol?  Of course, the answer is no.  Not to mention the fact that if Obama were ever to be impeached, there would be a race war in this nation.  No one wants that.  Case closed on impeachment.

 

Having said all that, I've come upon a video that was made by a young man well-versed in Adobe Photoshop.  I will not expound on the details of the video.  Suffice it to say, that it is a little more than interesting.

 

For those of you who know me, you can attest to the fact that when it comes to computers, I am living in the Stone Age.  I freely admit that I do not easily comprehend things like Photoshop so I questioned what was being shown.  Fortunately, I know people far smarter than I.  So I called them.  It seems that everything put forth in this video is indeed possible and may very well be accurate.  

 

             In the end, you'll just have to judge for yourself.

It seems like the Chi-Coms have a serious problem with their watermelon population.  Lately, our little Red friends have experienced a plethora of inexplicable watermelon explosions.  Once thought to be the exclusive domain of comedian Gallagher and his Sledge-O-Matic, exploding fruits have now taken center stage in the hallowed halls of the world's largest, and (thanks to an embracing of a capitalist economy) richest Marxist utopia.

It seems the culprit is the rampant misuse of pesticides, fertilizers and food additives, all designed to "enhance" the attractiveness of the produce and boost sales.  Hmm, it seems like our biggest creditor and newest big-toe has added yet another to its list of exports that undercut American products through cheap labor and manipulated currency, and flood our Wal-Marts with cheap (and unsafe) consumer goods.

Is it any wonder that a nation that was ruled for three decades by the tyrannical despot, Mao Tse Tung, has an abhorrent record of abuses when it comes to product safety?  After all, he murdered somewhere between 70 and 100 million Chinese without batting an slanted eyelash, so is it such a stretch to think that his successors would necessarily care if they poisoned half the population of earth?

China's record of safety in the marketplace is abysmal.  From the lead-painted toys, melamine-laced dog food, powdered milk and candy to the lead-laden baby bibs and tainted drywall installed in many construction projects, America has been inundated with hazardous materials because of our thirst for inexpensive goods from the Chinese workers paradise.

Who's to blame?  The Chinese manufacturer or farmer; the exporters/importers; the bureaucrats who oversee the transactions? 

Or how about you?  How many times do you look for the "Made in USA" label?  How many times have you been willing to spend an extra dollar to buy American?  How many of you buy "Made in China" without a thought of where your money goes; to whom it goes; and what it's spent on?

Maybe it's time you took your responsibility seriously.  If you don't, who will?

Now that Barack Hussein Obama has finally come clean and put to rest what most of the people in America already knew; that he actually was born in the United States, I now hear talking heads wondering loudly "Why did he wait so long?"

Are they that stupid that they can't see right through Jon Stewart's President "Dude"?  Our Immaculated Monarch is as transparent as Saran Wrap and all the so-called people "in-the-know" have their blinders on.

Obama spent upwards of $2 million over the past 2 1/2 years trying to conceal the fact that he was really, really born here and really, really was the president, while the birthers spent all that time pre-occupied with a non-issue.  I have to say this was a brilliant strategy on the part of BHO.  I never want to hear anyone call this community organizer stupid again.  What's a cool $2 mil anyway?  Especially when it's not your money!

His strategy enabled him to pass an unconstitutional health mandate, against the wishes of the vast majority of Americans and a trillion-dollar stimulus bill that was supposed to create jobs but mainly bailed out unions (who donated heavily to his campaign.)  He filled the White House with advisers, that even in the Carter Administration would have been ostracized for their Marxist leanings, and managed to take control of the financial sector and General Motors.  All the while keeping our attention focused on his double-secret probational birth certificate.  With glazed-over eyes, our attention was riveted on his left hand while behind his back his right hand was galvanizing his troops to bring down the American Empire.  Because, after all, America is no more exceptional than Germany, or England, or Uganda.

So why show it now?  He could have kept us in the dark forever.  No one was going to force him to show it.  Hawaiian law forbids it from being released.  The Supreme Court of The United States has been avoiding this issue for months.  All the lawsuits seeking the release of this Holy Grail had been thrown out of numerous courts. 

So what pressure was put upon him to show it at this particular time?

If you'll take your glazed eyes off the left hand, you'll find out.

I had a most interesting Monday morning (I guess interesting is as good an adjective as any.)  Anyway, I had the opportunity to attend a hearing on the direction of funding for transportation in the United States.  It was chaired by the Chairman of the House Transportation Committee, who happens to be my congressman, John Mica.  

The panel hosting the hearings included three Democrats and two Republicans, so I guess you could say it was bi-partisan.  Although, definitely not non-political.  One of the Democrat panelists couldn't help getting in a dig in at Governor Rick Scott's veto of the high speed rail proposal for Florida.  Governor Scott is against the billion-dollar boondoggle because he believes that ultimately the taxpayers of Florida will end up footing the bill; over and over and over again.  (On a side note, Congressman Mica has been pushing high-speed rail for many years now and his panel of "experts" were all in favor of his pet project.  What kind of hearing is it where you only hear one side of the argument?)

Any reasonable person can look at the recent history of passenger rail systems in America and come to no other conclusion.  Let me point to Amtrak.  Last year, it lost $32 per passenger.  Or how about The Sunset Limited, which travels between New Orleans and Los Angeles?  It lost $462 per passenger.  The government, rather you and I, subsidize these failing operations.  Yet, these folks want more failures so they can squander more of our hard-earned money.

The Congressperson in favor of said squandering and that belittled our governor was none other than Corinne Brown-Democrat, Jacksonville.  Her district flows from Northeast Florida to Orlando.  A gerrymandered district any corrupt politician would love.  For those of you who aren't familiar with Ms. Brown, she is the lady of fame that requested the city of Jacksonville public works employees place sandbags around her home to protect if from rising floodwaters (when the city had no plans to place sandbags at anyone's home.)  At no cost to her I might add.

In her opening statement, she wondered aloud how Governor Scott could reverse direction on the rail proposal simply because of an election.  Well, Ma'am (if I can use the term) let me quote another politician who changed the direction of a nation because of an election.  He simply said "We won!"  But I guess winning means never having to say you're sorry (unless you're a Republican.)

Knowing Ms. Brown's penchant for sticking her foot in her mouth, this piqued my interest and I was suddenly aroused from the ennui that had already set in.  I quickly remembered her statement about gerrymandering (the politically influenced method that creates biased elections and created the meandering district that allows her to belch inanely from the House of Representatives.)  

"Do you know who Gerry Mandering was?" She related during an interview on a local radio station.  "He was a white legislator that had a lot of power," she was quoted as saying. "And what we want to make sure is everybody has a fair opportunity to have representation in the United States Congress. In the House, the Senate, the city council and the school boards."   I didn't know that city councils and school boards were part of the US Congress.  But I guess that's a minor point.

Gerry Mandering?  Actually, Elbridge Gerry was a Massachussetts Gov. and former U.S. Vice President, who in 1812 signed a law that created a district that was said to look like a salamander. Thus, the term gerrymander came into our lexicon.

Ms. Brown was awarded a Specialist in Education degree from the University of Florida.  Don't you just love it when higher education pays off?  That makes me want to look harder at my daughter's diploma since she graduated from UF.

As the Congresswoman continued her diatribe to convince the crowded hall of numb constituents that she actually knew what she was talking about, she said something that made my nose hairs curl.  In making her case for high-speed rail, she said (and I quote) "For every billion dollars the federal government spends, it creates 44,000 jobs."  Now I let that sink in for all of four seconds before I said to myself, "WHAT?"

So I thought, hmm, if the government can create 44,000 jobs from a cool billion dollars, how many jobs could it create with 787 of those freshly printed, but worthless billions?  Since I didn't have a calculator with me, I was forced to do a little quick math in my now pulsing brain.  Let's see, 44,000 times 787.  Why that means that the government could have created 34,000,000+ jobs from that economic "stimulus" passed just months after President Obama took office.   Now the last time I checked we had roughly 14,000,000 unemployed.  That means we could actually make room for twenty million more illegal immigrants to come in and work.  It's a win, win for everyone!

But now that my brain is starting to boil over from all those zeroes, I have to wonder:   We still have close to 10% unemployment so how exactly does arithmetic work in Washington; or at least in Congresswoman Brown's mind.  Because the numbers don't add up.  Except, of course, in The Land of Make Believe.

OBAMA TELLS 60 MINS: IT'S NOT POLICIES THAT WERE REJECTED, IT WAS FAILED COMMUNICATION SKILLS...

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2010/11/05/obama-acknowledges-failures-says-leadership-isnt-just-legislation/

au contraire!

I think the majority the tax paying voters have understood all along what the President has been communicating. They just demonstrated quite clearly, they wanted no part of what he was offering - vis-a-vis town hall meetings, Restoring America assemblies and Tea Parties.

I mean,  after 54 speeches on healthcare, how could Mr. President, Dear Leader Reader think he hasn't communicating his message effectively?? =:o

Just when you thought you'd heard every idiotic statement from a politician possible, another comes along and it's "Hey honey, where's that case of duct tape?  My head is going to explode."

Today's recipient of the "I'm trying to get my foot out of my mouth, but it's difficult" award (formerly held by Joe Biden) goes to Nevada's senior senator, Harry "King of the World" Reid.  You see the venerable Nevadan has taken credit for keeping the world from a depression.  Not just the US mind you, but the WHOLE world! 

From the "you can't make this up" file, President Obama is turning NASA into his Muslim-outreach agency. According to Fox News, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden says that NASA's foremost mission in 2010 is to improve relations with the Muslim world.

You might want to push instant replay and read that again just to make sure you're awake.

He went on to say, "[w]hen I became the NASA administrator - or before I became the NASA administrator - [President Obama] charged me with three things. One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science . and math and engineering."

Huh?  We want our space program to concentrate on making Muslims "feel good" about themselves?  Can someone explain to me why this was the "foremost" mission our Dear Leader directed at NASA?  Not replacing the aging Shuttle fleet?  No no, not that.  How about building our own space station?  Uh-uh, can't do that.  Umm, how about going back to the moon. Sorry, not going to happen.  But we do want Muslims to feel good about their rich history of........?  Let's see, they did invent our numeric system right?  Oh no, wrong.  Our numbers came to us via Indian/Arabic culture around 300 BC (that's Before Christ for those of you in public school.)  That was more than 1,000 years before Mohammed starting lopping off heads to bring us the religion of peace. 

Okay, then they invented the telescope right?  Oh sorry, a man named Hans Lipperhey invented the telescope. He was born in Wesel, Germany and made his home in Middleburg, part of the Zeeland province in the Netherlands.

Alright, how about the pendulum?  Wrong again, that pesky Italian Galileo Galilei invented that between inventing everything else in Europe.  How about the clock?  Nope, the ancient Eqyptians.  The watch?  No again.  The compass?  Nope, Chinese.  Gunpowder?  Double no, our good friends and T-bill holders the Chinese again.

And as to Mr. Bolden's assertion that Muslims invented mathematics and engineering.  Well, not so much.  Actually, no single person invented mathematics.  Mathematical systems have been developed by different cultures independently. The mathematics in western civilization can mostly be traced to roots in Mesopotamia, Egypt (especially for geographical use) and Babylon (especially for astronomical use).  All cultures that preceded Islam.  And call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure engineering began in ancient Egypt with the building of the pyramids.  Again preceding Islamic culture by many millennia.

Well, they must have invented something, after all, they must be made to feel proud about something!  

Well, they did invent jihad and suicide bombers.

Both things, I'm sure, they're very proud of.

I can't take credit for this as much of this is taken from an article written by Scott Wheeler from The National Republican Trust political action committee:

 

On June 9, President Obama announced a 400 million dollar aid package to the West Bank and Gaza, which are currently two separate entities; the West Bank under the control of Mahmoud Abbas, a moderate by radical Islamic standards, Gaza is run by the democratically elected Islamic Resistance Movement known otherwise as the terrorist group Hamas. Obama was trying to be sneaky in announcing this "aid package" to Gaza with Abbas present thus conflating the moderate with the radical terrorist group Hamas, a clear attempt to avoid scrutiny of handing over American's money directly to a terrorist organization that has murdered American citizens. Whatever else you can say about Obama, at least he never forgets his friends. Thanks to the investigative work of Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs we know that in 2007 Obama's campaign received over 30 thousand dollars in illegal donations from Hamas controlled Gaza.

 

Curious is the timing of Obama's announcement. Israel had just taken action against ships attempting to break its blockade of Gaza, which was put into place to stop the flow of weapons and war supplies that Hamas uses to attack Israelis. And Obama joined the rest of the Islamic world in condemning Israel for taking action to defend itself against terrorists who have not only killed Americans and Israelis but have declared that it would drive the Jews into the Mediterranean Sea.

 

Since 2001, the United States has listed Hamas as a "Specifically Designated Global Terrorist" organization. The sanctions for providing support for a SDGT are harsh.

 

Even the New York Times, which is as a rule sympathetic to terrorists, stated "The details of how the aid would be used in Gaza remained unclear. Nor was it immediately clear how Mr. Abbas, who has authority in the West Bank but not in Gaza would be able to administer it."

 

But, according to the Times, "White House officials said the money would be spent on housing, schools, efforts to provide access to drinking water and other health and infrastructure projects." Of course, with Americans providing all of their financial needs it frees up Hamas' other money to buy weapons and afford them more sophisticated means by which to smuggle them into the strip, no more raggedy flotillas for these terrorists.

 

Obama also used the occasion to attack Israel's blockade "there should be some way of focusing narrowly on arms shipments rather than focusing in a blanket way on stopping everything and then, in a piecemeal way, allowing things into Gaza." Even Obama himself acknowledges that supplies still get to the Gazans, Israel just searches the incoming vessels to insure that the cargo isn't going to be used to kill people. Apparently Obama thinks there is some other magical way to find the weapons among the "humanitarian supplies" other than looking through them. Here's a thought; how about you get no supplies at all until you stop smuggling weapons and murdering innocent civilians?

 

The Times reports that international aid organizations "working in Gaza have warned of growing hardship. Deprived of raw materials, local industry has been severely damaged, and the Gaza economy has collapsed." This account seems to suggest that the poor Gazans have absolutely no control over their situation, the fact is though that they went to the polls and freely elected Hamas agents to run Gaza. These poor victims elected representatives for themselves whose stated objective is to annihilate the Jews. But we should feel sorry for them anyway, Obama and the liberals here tell us the most evil crime in the world is racial discrimination and yet they take our money and give it to people whose sole objective for their existence is to exterminate a race of people. Welcome to Obama's world.

 

It needs to be pointed out that despite attacks by Hamas, Israel maintains an ongoing humanitarian corridor for the transfer of perishable and staple food items to Gaza. This conduit is used by internationally recognized organizations including the United Nations and the Red Cross.

 

Well over a million tons of humanitarian supplies entered Gaza from Israel over the last 18 months equaling nearly a ton of aid for every man, woman and child in Gaza. Millions of dollars worth of international food aid continually flows through the Israeli humanitarian apparatus, ensuring that there is no food shortage in Gaza.

 

Food and supplies are shipped from Israel to Gaza six days a week. These items were channeled through aid organizations or via Gaza's private sector.

 

Large quantities of essential food items like baby formula, wheat, meat, dairy products and other perishables are transferred daily and weekly to Gaza. Fertilizers that cannot be used to make explosives are shipped into the Strip regularly, as are potato seeds, eggs for reproduction, bees, and equipment for the flower industry.

 

In 2009 alone, more than 738,000 tons of food and supplies entered Gaza. Pictures in local newspapers show local markets aplenty with fruit, vegetables, cheese, spices, bread and meat to feed 1.4 million Gazans.

 

In the first quarter of 2010 (January-March), 94,500 tons of supplies were transferred in 3,676 trucks to the Strip: 48,000 tons of food products; 40,000 tons of wheat; 2,760 tons of rice; 1,987 tons of clothes and footwear; 553 tons of milk powder and baby food.

 

In a typical week the IDF coordinates the transfer of hundreds of trucks containing about 15,000 tons of supplies. During the week of May 18, 2010 there were more than 100 truckloads of animal food, 65 trucks of fruit and vegetables; 22 truckloads of sugar, some 27 truckloads of meat, poultry and fish; and 40 trucks of dairy products. At holiday times, Israel increases transfers. During the Muslim holy days of Ramadhan and Eid al-Adha, Israel shipped some 11,000 heads of cattle into the Strip.

 

Yet all we hear from the media is how Israel is oppressing the people in Gaza.  How come we don't hear about how our federal government has, for decades, been "oppressing" minorities here.  After all, isn't the aid the Israelis send to Gaza the same as the aid that's given here as free housing, food stamps, free medical care, free cell phones, free cars, unemployment, federal grants for everything from education to electric wheelchairs, free job training, etc., etc.? 

 

Maybe we should all be "oppressed" like that.

 

Oh wait, isn't that what's coming?
