No Win At The Ballot Box Then Resort To The Bullet Box

The GOP's next step?

Catherine Crabill is a realtor and "home-schooling mother of four," and now a politician too! In her very first political race, Crabill is challenging Virginia state Del. Albert Pollard, D-Lancaster.

"We have the chance to fight this battle at the ballot box before we have to resort to the bullet box… But that's the beauty of our Second Amendment right. I am glad for all of us who enjoy the use of firearms for hunting, but make no mistake, that was not the intent of the Founding Fathers. Our Second Amendment right was to guard against tyranny."

Now, tell me this is OK.

If you can't win at the ballot box you will resort to bullets.

Is that not advocating the violent overthrow of government?

Am I missing something?

Future Job Killer: "I Worked at FOX News"

Truth is on any given day you can get this kind of thing and much more on Fox news. It occurred to me that soon, if not already, having "I worked at Fox News" on your vita or resume, whether Local or National or Cable, will be a job killer. I mean, it's getting to the point that getting a recommendation from Fox News for a job will be like having worked for the Taliban Propaganda Department or Iran's Information Ministry, or the French Communist Party Newspaper. You may have the basic skills but jeez, you've been hanging out with the wrong crowd.

But hell any job is better than no job, right?

No, Really, This Shit Must Stop Now! Redux

Here are three items from and about the BIRTHERS for your information:









Now these are actually funny in a perverted sort of way. They remind me of some of the historical cartoons aimed at Lincoln by those who hated him. This is Freedom of Speech.
But cumulative hate leads to erosion of sanity.

Media Matters: Jon Stewart

Funny yes, Ironic, yes, but.....
Why does it continue?
Is someone looking for a motive?
Is someone promoting a motive?
What is being said after hours?


I live in the land that Tim McVeigh shat on.
If the "news" people had directly incited him like they are doing for this, I don't know what might have happened after the bombing.
Incitement is serious business.
Where is the self policing of morons by the media?
Isn't there a Federal prosecutor out there that can deal with this?
Or would that just feed the hate?
Someone should at least brand these doggies to know who to cull come round-up time.

No, Really, This Shit Must Stop Now

The right-wing -- now plus Lou Dobbs -- still doubts Obama's birth certificate

Republican Mike Castle from Delaware is booed when he said: “If you’re referring to the president, then he is a citizen of the United States.”
That didn’t play well with the crowd, who start booing and hissing.: Castle responded “You can boo, but he is a citizen of the United States.”

This is a lie that has to stop. Obama is a citizen.


If this keeps up it will be all that is needed to "finish" our President in the worst way. Cut this shit out.

CNN start by firing Lou Dobbs!
FOX News, Fire anyone who advocates this view point!
All other networks follow suit.
Congress censure anyone doing this shit in the house.
Senate do the same same thing.

This is going beyond freedom of speech. This is incitement. The theater is full and the nut cases are yelling FIRE. This must not go any further!

Why A Dialogue on Race Will Not Result in Solutions

Dr. Henry Gates is a Harvard Professor. He came home from an overseas trip and found his front door was jammed. He went around back, got into his house and pushed the front door partially open. The driver who brought him home then helped him force it all the way open, got back in his car and left. A neighbor saw them doing this and not recognizing Gates as the home owner called 911. The cops came and found Gates inside and confronted him. Gates is black and the driver was black and because of this, here is where the story diverges. One story is about blue stupidity and the other is about racial profiling.

"BOSTON – Prosecutors dropped a disorderly conduct charge Tuesday against prominent black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr., who was arrested at his home near Harvard University after a report of a break-in.

The city of Cambridge issued a statement saying the arrest "was regrettable and unfortunate," and police and Gates agreed that dropping the charge was a just resolution.

"This incident should not be viewed as one that demeans the character and reputation of professor Gates or the character of the Cambridge Police Department," the statement said."

Dr. Gates and every Black news commentator I've heard so far says this is an example Racial Profiling! Al (any storm for a port) Sharpton inserted himself into the story instantly talking about racial profiling.

Some of the White news commentators "asked" if this was Racial Profiling but most just reported the story and reported that Dr. Gates said it was.

Whites seem to tend to see this as a stupid cop story. Blacks seem to tend to see this as a racial based action.

Let's pretend that Gates wasn't Black and was just an ordinary White Harvard Professor. If two White guys were "kicking in" a door would the busy-body neighbor have called the cops? Yes, those types would have called regardless of what color they were. Would the cop have had the same case of blue stupids. Probably especially if the White guy was belligerent and incensed that he was being challenged and accused of breaking into his own home. Most women would have said to themselves that this was a testosterone problem between the two combatants. Conservative men, black or white would side with the cop, but most men would side with the property owner "harassed" by the cop.

When you add race the problem morphs.
The White Irish cop didn't get super macho till Gates followed him out onto the porch and dissed him in front of other cops. That was a bad decision. Cop code says all Cops have to be even more of a "COP" in front of their buddies.

Was any of this racist? Possibly. How much of it. No one can know. But everyone will have their opinion. Can you "dialog" about this and get anywhere? I don't think so. The best you can hope for is that some individuals on each "side" would understand why the other "side" doesn't see it their way. But, there is no story or profit in that outcome so...

By the way you could dichotomize the story into black profiling or blue profiling.

What do you think?
