A Teachable Moment In Politics
(thehill.com) The Rev. Jesse Jackson on Wednesday night criticized Rep. Artur Davis (D-Ala.) for voting against the Democrats’ signature healthcare bill. “We even have blacks voting against the healthcare bill,” Jackson said at a reception Wednesday night. “You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man.” [...] Other members of the CBC found no fault in Jackson's words. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) was in the audience. He called Jackson's criticism of Davis "accurate," but said he did not hear Jackson say "You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man." "If it is an issue that disproportionately impacts black folks, ...
The Need For A Devil
The Right has it with the "mainstream media" and the Left has it with "conservative talk show hosts". In the theater of politics, there is always the good guy and the eeeeeeeevil bad guy. What I will never understand is why there is this obsession to keep talking about those who are routinely deemed as insignificant. Both Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton hold no real power in the Black community, yet it seems that their actions are worthy of discussion--on purpose. On the other hand you have Black conservative commentators like Jesse Lee Peterson, Larry Elder, Star Parker, etc. whose commentaries ...
You Are Gravely Wrong, Mr. President!
"Well, look, we -- we have seen, in the past, rampages of this sort. And in a country of 300 million people, there are going to be acts of violence that are inexplicable. Even within the extraordinary military that we have -- and I think everybody understands how outstanding the young men and women in uniform are under the most severe stress -- there are going to be instances in which an individual cracks. I think the questions that we're asking now and we don't have yet complete answers to is, is this an individual who's acting in this way ...
Giving Yourself Away
Recently I have been toying around with the idea of downloading the Loopt application on my phone. For those of you out there who never heard of loopt, it's a program designed for cell phone users that provides the physical location of your circle of friends (who also need to register for the service). A map pops up on your phone and in an instant you are able to see that your wife is on the interstate, your kids are at school, your cousin is at the beach--if they are registered and their phone is on, you can locate them. Last ...
Like I Said, It Had Nothing To Do With Racism
When folks faked blowing a mental gasket over Rush Limbaugh's attempt to own a piece of a NFL team, the biggest reason thrown out there was because of "racist" comments he made in the past. Based on that, critics were also saying such a move would especially be hurtful to Black players and Black fans. If that is the case, why does the same narrative not apply in the NBA? (rollingout.com) In an era of sports when leagues are more than ever image-conscious, holding members accountable for their actions, the NBA is MIA – missing in action. Last week Los Angeles Clippers owner ...
Sicking The Race Hounds…Again
Anytime a major piece of legislation is being pushed, there always has to be a racial component added to it in order to sweeten the sale to Americans. This health care bill was no exception. Recently, the NAACP, National Urban League, and other Civil Rights groups got together it what was being called a "Civil Rights war room" to help coordinate lobbying efforts to promote the health care bill. NAACP President, Ben Jealous had this to say~ NAACP President Ben Jealous said that, if the country had been able to have real health care reform in the 1990s, then 880,000 more ...

For the record, I'm gonna continue to call it "Global Warming". They started calling it that until they realized that the weather trends were not "warming". So they tweaked the language by calling it "Climate Change".
UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) -- Women, especially those living in developing countries, are burdened with the impact of climate change, which is often overshadowed by targets and pledges made by world leaders, said ...More

I'm still amazed that the most "incompetent" person in the political universe is getting so much attention from the Left and Progressives (got to include them, too). CNN had a digitized map the other day outlining her book tour, the AP has reportedly assigned 11 reporters to "fact check" the book, even though it did not do the same for Obama's book "Dreams From My Father". Even all over the ...More

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken ...More

Japan holds roughly 20% of America debt.
China holds the largest amount of US debt.
In a recent speech he gave to the still very Communist China, this is how he portrayed the treatment of women.
"If you talk to women in America, they will tell you that there are still men who have a lot of old-fashioned ideas about the role of women in society."

(nytimes.com) With unemployment among blacks at more than 15 percent, the N.A.A.C.P. will join several other groups on Tuesday to call on President Obama to do more to create jobs.
The organizations — including the A.F.L.-C.I.O. and the National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic advocacy group— will make clear that they believe the president’s $787 billion stimulus program has not gone far enough to fight unemployment.
They will call for increased ...More

In his weekly radio and YouTube address, the President-elect gave details on a report released by his transition team. The report details the types of jobs that would be ...More

"Right up front let me say that these types of boycotts against retailers over whether or not they openly promote Christmas or some generic winter holiday IS THE WRONG BATTLE for Christians to be fighting! I could care less if Wal-Mart, The Gap, Macys, the Banana Republic or the Home Depot "recognizes Christmas". NONE of these corporations are Christian so why should I expect them to proclaim Christ?
