African-American or Uncle Tom?
Barack Obama sat silent in a pew for 20 years as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright (Reverend?) delivered racist rants against white America, and accusing whites of spreading AIDS to infect and kill black people?How would he justify not walking out as Wright spewed his venom about "the U.S. of K.K.K. America," and howled, "God damn America!"
Yes, Barack agreed, Wright's statements were "controversial," and "divisive," and "racially charged," reflecting a "distorted view of America."
Barack then listed black grievances and informed us what white America must do to close the racial divide and heal the country.
The "white community," said Barack, "must start acknowledging that what ails the African-American community does not just exist in the minds of black people; that the legacy of discrimination - and current incidents of discrimination, while less overt than in the past - are real and must be addressed. Not just with words, but with deeds ... ."
And what deeds must white people perform to heal ourselves and our country?
Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America. The "white community" must invest more money in black schools and communities, enforce civil rights laws, ensure fairness in the criminal justice system and provide this generation of blacks with "ladders of opportunity" that were "unavailable" to Jeremiah Wright's generation.
But after all this time and a black president in the White House, it has to be a two-way conversation. White America is growing tired of being lectured to. I can tell you my “white” relatives came to this country not only legally, but also before Hitler’s reign and after slavery was illegal. My descendants never killed any Jews, homosexuals, or non-conformists of the nazi regime. Nor did any of my “white” relatives own any slaves.
This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:
First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.
Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the '60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream.
Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks - with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas - to advance black applicants over white applicants. Or for that matter, how many caucasian students were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for "deserving" white kids.
We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude?
Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America; Illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit over 70 percent; Black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent; White criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time; Black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse; Black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?
Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?
We have all heard the nausea from Al Sharpton about Tawana Brawley, and the Duke rape case. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.
Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago.
I think it's pretty clear now what Obama is all about. He's sat in church and associated with Jeremiah Wright for 20 years. Obama said "I wasn't there when he said it." Who is he trying to fool? Had he really disagreed with Wright's views and anti-american ramblings he would have parted ways, but no, he hung around for 20 years. I don't believe for a second that he was/is opposed or offended by the ideas except for the affect they had on his campaign.
How much do I have to give before we are even? What does white America have to do to prove that most of us are not racist? At what point is enough, enough. Once we stop looking at issues as race sensitive and start looking at them as what they are, we will be moving in the right direction. I no longer feel guilty and don't care about excuses and divisive arguments.
My parents never taught me to use the 'n' word. But when are blacks going to stop using the 'n' word? Conservatives have done more for racial equality than libs have. We have been trying to get rid of Affirmative Action for years! AA is doing nothing but spoon feeding the minorities in this country. Same with welfare and food stamps. These programs have been a crutch of blacks for too long. I come from a family who never had a lot of money. I have never touched welfare or food stamps and never been assisted by Affirmative Action. Martin Luther King said that we should be judged "not by the color of our skin, but by the content of our character" what would HE think of Affirmative Action? By the blacks supporting the libs, they are further denigrating their culture, but they see it as help. It's truly pathetic.
The whole world witnessed Jeremiah Wright, and many can see that "amerika" is not just "one-sided." It has sadly become a place where it’s ok to be a racist if your black. Well I am of the mind set that respect is something earned, not something entitled to anyone, including the president of the United States. But didn’t liberal’s, America hater’s, and most blacks feel the same about President George W. Bush?
You’ll notice I don’t succumb to the politically correct crap by calling blacks “African-American.” The arrogance to think they are entitled to some kind of special title in American history. And the hypocracy and stupidity as not all blacks descendants are from Africa. Do we call caucasian people from Africa African Americans? Do any blacks in this country have European, American Indian, Asian, or Jewish blood in their veins? Where do you think the beautiful and talented Vanessa Williams got her blue eyes? Or is she just a black person? My ancestors family tree include German, Hungarian, Jewish, Austrian bloodlines. Does this mean I am supposed to go around saying I’m a German, Hungarian, Jewish, Austrian?
Poor Bill Cosby, and many other distinguished, honorable black folks in this country being called “Uncle Tom’s,” by other blacks who refuse to accept responsibility for their actions. Michael Steele and Condoleeza Rice also come to mind.
On March 21, Lovelle Mixon killed 4 Oakland police officers after being stopped for a traffic violation. Mixon was a criminal who had spent time in jail for assault with a firearm and was a suspect for a murder in Alameda. Mixon had also raped and sodomized a 12 year old girl and is a suspect in several more rapes.
A group called International People’s Democratic Uhuru Movement held a march for this savage! Many protesters were heard yelling that Mixon was a “hero” and a “true black man.” So, in the eyes of the Oakland black community, a violent thug who rapes children and kills policemen is a true black man? A man who not only shot the policemen but stood over them, putting more bullets into them while they were down…yes, this is a true black man, a true hero, someone that all our kids can emulate. Society didn’t fail him; he failed himself the moment he CHOSE the path of crime. It is disgusting that he is being praised for being the low-life scum he is. Incidentally, his sister was arrested on Tuesday on a bench warrant stemming from an October 2008 arrest for being under the influence of an illegal substance. Stellar family. Let’s celebrate them all. Can they not set their sights a little higher? You would not see white people marching to praise a violent white criminal who had gunned down four black policemen! Blacks should protest this disgusting group of trash!
Political correctness and apathy are killing our civilization, who the hell is running this freakshow! Its INSANITY! These idiots are out praising a cop killing child molester!!! What an insane era to be living in.
You can wait in poverty or you can rise up from it. The power is in your own hands. This needs to be taught to ALL black children, or they will always live a life of “victimhood”.

Obama Spare Us The Lectures
Obama Lied. Bush tried to get a Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae regulatory overhaul in 2003 - Democrats stopped it!
While John McCain tried to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Obama took boatloads of their money. While Obama talked reform and demonized CEOs, he took as advisers the very people responsible for Fannie Mae’s failure.
John McCain saw it coming also commenting during his run for office ... “We’ve heard a lot of words from Senator Obama over the course of this campaign. But maybe just this once he could spare us the lectures, and admit to his own poor judgment in contributing to these problems. The crisis on Wall Street started in the Washington culture of lobbying and influence peddling, and he was square in the middle of it.”
Corruption You Can BELIEVE In: Failed Sub Primes and Mortgage Fraud Lenders Funneled Money to Dodd & Obama the Most. Fannie & Freddie Gave $200 Million to Partisans-Most Went to Democrats! Committee Chairman Christopher J. Dodd, Obama Among Top Recipients.
Congress KNEW this was coming and have for years. The bill to change the oversight rules was killed in a party line vote with Democrats against it.
Economic Advisors For Barack H. Obama
Fannie Mae have long been run not by bankers but by retired political figures, predominantly Democrats. From 1991 to 1998, Fannie Mae was headed by James Johnson, a longtime aide to former Democratic vice president Walter Mondale. Johnson’s successor, Franklin Raines, had served as budget director to Bill Clinton. Jamie Gorelick, vice chair of Fannie Mae from 1998 to 2003, served as deputy attorney general in the Clinton administration.These figures have paid themselves impressive private-sector salaries. Johnson earned $21-million in just his last year at Fannie Mae. Raines earned $90-million for five years’ work at Fannie Mae. Gorelick got $26-million.
Franklin Raines was Clinton’s former UMB Director, is a former CEO of Fannie May, who was forced to resign due to a $6.3 billion accounting debacle he oversaw in 2004, and James Johnson former Vice-Chair of Fannie Mae and Managing Director of Lehman Brothers.
Raines and Johnson are the current economic advisors for Barack Obama. Raines was in charge when most of these high risk, sub prime rate loans were being given away; the primary catalyst to Fannie Mae’s collapse. The people who oversaw the Country-Wide scandal were working for Obama as well.
In the mean Time Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi says that “the Democrats bear no responsibility for the current crisis”. Really Nancy? The public record overwhelmingly proves otherwise.
Barney's Pre-Bail-Out Wisdom
”These two entities — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — are not facing any kind of financial crisis,” said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. ”The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.”
Representative Melvin L. Watt, Democrat of North Carolina, agreed.
Representative Melvin L. Watt, Democrat of North Carolina, agreed.
Hypocrite Barney Frank Tries To Be Butch
Taken from Mona Charen's blog on Creators Syndicate"The mob is the mother of tyrants." — Diogenes
Shamelessness is the order of the day. If I were an AIG executive entitled by law to a large "retention" bonus negotiated before the taxpayers had bailed out my company, I hope I would have the decency to refuse it. Reward for a job well done in the private sector is one thing. Suckling from the government sow is another. And it is particularly galling to reward mismanagement!
Our elected officials may have no idea how to extricate the economy from its economic decline, but they sure know how to stage a show trial.
There is surely enough blame to go around in this financial mess: bankers who made bad judgments about loans, Wall Street firms who negligently packaged securities of unknown worth, and individuals who made unwise investments based on the foolish assumption that real estate prices could only continue to rise. But certainly the malfeasance of politicians is near the top of any list. Politicians encouraged (to the point of bullying) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to make dubious loans; b) resisted regulation of those same GSEs; and c) have spent taxpayers' money wildly and irresponsibly, setting us up for even more frightening economic calamities down the road.
Obama tried to distance himself from the blame game in Washington. "I know Washington's all in a tizzy and everybody's pointing fingers at each other saying it's all their fault, the Democrats' fault, the Republicans' fault. Listen, I'll take responsibility. I'm the president." This was met by cheers. But then the president added, "We didn't draft these contracts. We've got a lot on our plate…" So he isn't really taking responsibility, he's evading it.
AIG's recently installed CEO, Edward Liddy, agreed to testify before a subcommittee of the House Financial Services Committee, which Rep. Barney Frank chairs. Liddy was actually a poor choice for scapegoat as he has only been on the job since September. Additionally, he is serving as a dollar-a-year man hoping to rescue the company and our financial system from a downward spiral.
Frank demanded that Liddy reveal the names of the 73 executives who had received retention bonuses. Liddy said he would do so if he could receive a promise of confidentiality. Frank refused and threatened to subpoena the names. Liddy said if subpoenaed he would obey the law, but he then read to the committee some of the death threats his company had been getting over the past few days. Some threats spoke of hanging the executives with piano wire, others of finding where their kids went to school.
That is the sort of ugliness and criminality that Frank is willing tacitly to encourage by demanding the names. And for what? The bonuses amounted to just one tenth of 1 percent of the AIG bailout (to say nothing of the stimulus bill and the gargantuan budget bill Congress and the president are hanging around our necks). If politicians want to metaphorically flay away at evil businessmen, well, that's regrettable. But when they cross the line into encouraging the targeting of actual individuals, they are no longer "honorable gentlemen," but leaders of a mob.

The Abortion President
Last week Obamessiah, signed an order lifting the ban on federal funding on embryonic stem cell "research" that Bush had put in place in 2001. Thing is, if embryonic stem cell research is so wonderful, why haven't the private investors put their money into it? Because it's produced little to no results. Adult stem cells have paved the way for a myriad of cures, and nobody had to destroy life to do it.Since the Immaculate Inauguration, he has signed executive orders (rather than putting them up for a vote) making sure we taxpayers fund abortions worldwide and force doctors with moral obligations against abortions to perform them, a large step toward tyranny over the medical institution. Not to mention his stance on the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, in which after a botched abortion, a baby would be cared for rather than discarded like trash.
This is Obama defending his position. "Essentially adding an additional doctor who then has to be called in an emergency situation to come in and make these assessments is really designed simply to burden the original decision..." If he has these views for the unborn, what is it going to be like when we have nationwide Obamacare in medicine? I shudder to think.

Illegal Immigrant Statistics In L.A.
From the L. A. Times1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County ( L. A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card.
2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.
6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.
7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.
9. 21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking.
10. In L. A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish.
(There are 10.2 million people in L. A. County. )
(All 10 of the above are from the Los Angeles Times)
Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare.
Over 70% of the United States' annual population growth (and over 90% of California, Florida , and New York) results from immigration.
29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.
We are a bunch of fools for letting this continue.
What If 20 Million Illegal Aliens Vacated America?
Tina Griego, journalist for the Denver Rocky Mountain News wrote a column titled, "Mexican Visitor's Lament" on 10/25/07.
She interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez while visiting Denver. Hernandez said, "They (illegal aliens) pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes ... What Happens to your country's economy if 20million people go away?" That's a good question - it deserves an answer.
Over 80 percent of Americans demand secured borders and illegal migration stopped. But what would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America?
The answers may surprise you!
In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupt hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominant language again.
In Colorado, 500,000 illegal migrants, plus their 300,000 kids and grand-kids - would move back 'home', mostly to Mexico. That would save Coloradans an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 billion) annually in taxes that pay for schooling, medical, social-services and incarceration costs. It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone.
Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals. Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67 percent drop-out/flunk-out rate because of thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41 different languages. At least 200,000 vehicles would vanish from our gridlocked cities in Colorado. Denver's four percent unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.
In Florida, 1.5 million illegals would return the Sunshine State back to America, the rule of law, and English.
In Chicago, Illinois, 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools, prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience.
If 20 million illegal aliens returned 'home' -- If 20 million illegal aliens returned 'home', the U.S. Economy would return to the rule of law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living wage. Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn't be working off the books. That would result in an additional $401 Billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local, state and city coffers.
No more push '1' for Spanish or '2' for English. No more confusion in American schools that now must contend with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids. Our overcrowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches. We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually would vacate our country.
In cities like L.A., 20,000 members of the '18th Street Gang' would vanish from our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans! No more Mexican rapists and child molesters!
Losing more than 20 million people would clear up our crowded highways and gridlock. Cleaner air and less drinking and driving American deaths by illegal aliens!
America's economy is drained. Taxpayers are harmed. Employers get rich. Over $80 billion annually wouldn't return to the aliens' home countries by cash transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which further drains America's economy - which currently suffers an $8.7 trillion debt.
At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us $109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California, Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupt out of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act.
Americans wouldn't suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our country-brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders.
Our cities would see 20 million less people driving, polluting and grid locking our cities. It would also put the 'progressives' on the horns of a dilemma; illegal aliens and their families cause 11 percent of our greenhouse gases.
Over one million of Mexico's poorest citizens now live inside and along our border from Brownsville, Texas to San Diego, California in what the New York Times called, "colonias" or new neighborhoods. Trouble is, those living areas resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty, filth, diseases, drugs, crimes, no sanitation and worse. They live without sewage, clean water, streets, electricity, roads or any kind of sanitation. The New York Times reported them to be America's new "Third World" inside our own country. Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect 20 million residents of those colonias. (I've seen them personally in Texas and Arizona; it's sickening beyond anything you can imagine.) By enforcing our laws, we could repatriate them back to Mexico.
We should invite 20 million aliens to go home, fix their own countries and/or make a better life in Mexico. We already invite a million people into our country legally more than all other countries combined annually. We cannot and must not allow anarchy at our borders, more anarchy within our borders and growing lawlessness at every level in our nation.
It's time to stand up for our country, our culture, our civilization and our way of life.
Interesting Statistics. Here are 14 reasons illegal aliens should vacate America, and I hope they are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them:

9. $200 billion dollars per year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html
10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0606/12/ldt.01.html
11. During the year 2005, there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our southern border with as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from terrorist countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroine, and marijuana crossed into the U.S. from the southern border. http://tinyurl.com/t9sht
12. The National Policy Institute, estimates that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion, or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period. http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/publications.php?b=deportation
13. In 2006, illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin. http://www.rense.com/general75/niht.htm
14. The dark side of illegal immigration: Nearly one million sex crimes are committed by illegal immigrants in the United States!" http://www.drdsk.com/articleshtml The total cost is a whopping $338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR!!!
Scary History Repeating Itself In America?
I was born in one country, raised in another. My father was born in another country.
I was not his only child. He fathered several children with numerous women.
I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me. My mother died at an early age from cancer.
Later in life, questions arose over my real name.
My birth records were sketchy and no one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate.
I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my country, but I practiced non-traditional beliefs & didn't follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.
I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them. That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and I embarked on a new career.
I wrote a book about my struggles growing up. It was clear to those who read my memoirs that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.
I became active in local politics in my 30's then with help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40s. They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything. That reinforced my conceit.
I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization. Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to me as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks.
I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances. This bolstered my ego.
At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy. I was very critical of my country in the last war and seized every opportunity to bash my country.
But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country's economy. I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better and every poor person would be fed & housed for free.
I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess. It was the free market, banks & corporations. I decided to start making citizens hate them and if they were envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.
I called mine "A People's Campaign" and that sounded good to all people.
I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics & was able to gain widespread popular support.
I knew that, if I merely offered the people 'hope' , together we could change our country and the world.
So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to include "persecuted minorities" like the Jews. My true views were not widely known & I needed to keep them unknown, until after I became my nation's leader.
I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with. I'm glad they didn't. Then I became the most powerful man in the world. And the world learned the truth.
