Arrogant Democrat US Senator Calls Opponent of Health Care right-wing militants, birthers, and racists

December 22, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Arrogant  US  Senator Sheldon Whitehouse(D-RI) in angry diatribe called opponents of Senate Health Care Reform racists on the Senate floor. Sen. Whitehouse used editorial major lame stream media as examples.

“Let’s Look At What Current Observers Are Saying As A Possible Early Indicator Of The Judgment History Will Inflict. Recently, The Editor Of The Manchester Journal Inquirer Editorial Page Wrote Of The  Current G.O.P. Which He Called ‘This Once Great And Now Mostly Shameful Party,’ That ‘It Has Gone Crazy, Is More And More Dominated By The Lunatic Fringe And Has Poisoned Itself With Hate.’ He Concluded, ‘They No Longer Want To Govern. They Want To Emote.’ A Well Regarded Philadelphia Columnist Recently Wrote Of The Conservative Paranoia And Lunacy On The Republican Right.”

The Whitehouse continue on his half-cocked dissertation accusing Republicans who did not the Department of Defense appropriations  bill as tantamount voting no and trying to stop President Obama’ momentum.

“Voting ‘no’ and hiding from the vote are the same result. Those of us on the floor see it. It was clear the three of them who did not cast their yes votes until all 60 Senate votes had been tallied and it was clear that the result was a foregone conclusion. And why? Why all this discord and discourtesy, all this unprecedented destructive action? All to break the momentum of our new young president.

They are desperate to break this president. They have ardent supporters who are nearly hysterical at the very election of President Barack Obama. The birthers, the fanatics, the people running around in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups, it is unbearable to them that President Barack Obama should exist. That is one powerful reason. It is not the only one.”

When a Washington Post Reporter Kerry Picket confronted Sen. Whitehouse he  denied called Republican senators racist.  But he stood  by his  statement attacking the GOP.

Picket asked  Senator Whitehouse  what he meant  by “aryan” he responded “No, I didn’t say that….again, pay attention to the speech.”

What is it with these Democrats? It seems as if they have lost their natural minds?   Who elected these people? I wonder the mindset these people. Was ACORN involved in getting these people elected? One wonders?!?!?!?!?!

Rev. Jesse Jackson to Black Congressman”You Can’t Vote Against Health Care and Call Yourself Black”

November 21, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Group think is a “disease” that afflicts minority groups.  You must follow every thing the  minority leadership says and  does if you don’t  you are traitor, a sellout. That was the implication by Reverend Jesse L. Jackson on Wednesday to Congressman Arthur Davis (D-Al) at a  Reception for Congressional Black Caucus Fund.

Rev. Jackson in a speech in at tribute to him on the 25th anniversary of Presidential Campaign said, “We even have blacks voting against the healthcare bill from Alabama,” Jackson said at a reception Wednesday night. “You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man.”

While Jackson didn’t say Davis by Name. Davis  is the only Congressional Black Caucus member to vote against the bill. Davis is running for Governor of Alabama in the Democratic Primary.

Davis’ office said he would not engage Rev. Jackson. But issue this statement.

“One of the reasons that I like and admire Rev. Jesse Jackson is that 21 years ago he inspired the idea that a black politician would not be judged simply as a black leader,” Davis’s statement said. “The best way to honor Rev. Jackson’s legacy is to decline to engage in an argument with him that begins and ends with race.”

“The poorest people need health care protection,” Jackson said. “They have the highest infant mortality and the lowest life expectancy. They’re dying from lack of access.”

Many in attendance taken aback.  Most were  supportive of Jackson’s remarks Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.)  called Jackson remarks “Accurate” but he didn’t “You can’t vote against health care and call yourself a black man.”

“If it is an issue that disproportionately impacts black folks, race has to be considered,” Cleaver said. Jackson, he added, “is expected by his constituency to call balls and strikes.”

As a black man I thank Rev. Jackson as well the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.for paving the way. However, some of us have different points of view. It seem the  our leadership stuck in victimization mode. The we must walk  in lock step or  be called an uncle Tom, a sellout, a House Ni__er.

I for one did not vote for Barack Obama for president. President Obama is my President. He has taken   some the most radical policies that I ever seen in young (I’m 42) life.  The stimulus plan has backfired, bailout of banks has benefited the industry not  the customer. Ownership of car companies and Cash for clunkers benefited mainly the European and Japanese automakers. Ford Motor Company also benefited because they didn’t seek bailout funds.

Now Health care. The congress should have  improve Medicare and Medicaid which give the poor better access to health  care . Tort reform would give victims of medical malpractice more money that now  goes to attorneys. Portability  which allows people to buy health insurance across state lines.

Sometimes we need different points of view to help. There is no shame of being a conservative or “moderate” the black community needs embrace different points of view. I take a moderate or conservative political view.

Welfare is necessary in very difficult times but then we need to get off for other who need it more.We need to show we can survive including myself us move up.

These no shame have a good  education and talking proper English. When I younger people made fun of me because I talked white.  (I also went a white church in Anaheim,CA  the church’s Sunday school program ran buses to my neighborhood as well in Northwest Orange County picked me up from my parents moved from Central Long Beach to Hawaiian Gardens where  they now live. )

President Obama is indeed a role model in the fact he had book smarts as well as street smarts.( I confess I don’t have street smarts). Only time will tell more kids will take after him (not  necessary politics-wise.)

We need to know history. Most African-American age 60 years and  older remember when welfare did not exist. We had our own  businesses. Neighbor help  neighbor. Because of  “Jim Crow” laws we had to fend or our selves. Today, thanks President Johnson’s “War on Poverty” which brought welfare to scene. It was to be  temporary, but  some cases families are now in third  generation of welfare. It is seen easy money.  There used was shame now its very acceptable to on it.

It was only with President Clinton and Republican congress that has come  to an end. Now President Obama  and Democrat controlled House and Senate are attempt to roll back the progress what President Clinton made.

The  Black community  (let alone other minority groups) to think out of the box and discover conservative view points are valid as much liberal they might learn something.

Attack on a Los Angeles Synagogue Injured Two Men

October 30, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Two men were injured today by an gunman during morning prayers at syanagogue in North Hollywood a section of Los Angeles in the city’s San Fernando Valley. The incident placed Southern California Jewish institutions on alert.

A motive was not  given by Los Angeles Police Department.  It is believed the the attack was by a lone shooter.

“We certainly recognize the location and we’re sensitive to that,” Deputy Police Chief Michel Moore said. “But we do not know that this was a hate crime at all.”

The two men in their 40’s  are members of Adat Yeshurun Valley Sephardic Orthodox synagogue. The men were shot both in the legs.  The men had just arrived around 6:30 A.M. for morning prayers when the attack occurred.

The two men are in stable condition in a LA area hospital. They are expected fully recover soon.

The police described the alleged assailant as black male wearing a hooded sweatshirt. LAPD was had detained a person who filled the description he was released later.

The FBI joined in the search.

“We are being vigilant for any follow-ups that may occur,” Moore said.

The police  is being investigated as a hate crime.  However, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa cautioned the public from overreacting.

“Until they have concluded their investigation, none of us, none of us should presume or speculate more about this crime other than it was a random act of violence,” Villaraigosa said.

A student of the  synagogue school 13 year old  Shayan Yaghoubi, was heading to school when he and his parent was turned away for their safety.

“The cops told us we can’t go,” he said. “I feel very bad because this is my favorite school … I have a lot of friends over there. I hope everyone is OK. There’s never been a problem with fighting.”

A local resident Micheal Bloom 30, says the area has a history of Antisemitism.

“This has been going on for years. Everything from “death to Israel” to “dirty Jew,’” he said. “There are gangs in the area. It’s not the safest neighborhood.”

But Sholomo Yaghobi, 18 says the neighborhood is “calm, relatively.”

His brother who attends the schools is concerned.

“I’m upset if something would have happened to my brother, who would answer to that?” he said.

A spokesperson from the Simon Wiesenthal Center a Jewish Civil Rights  organization told FOX 11 News.

“When an attack actually takes place in the perimeter of a house of worship, it’s a source of deep concern,” Rabbi Abraham Cooper of the Simon Wiesenthal Center told KTTV. “Look, we don’t know whether this is a lone gunman, it could be drugs, who knows. But the fact of the matter is there were no words exchanged, violence was used.”

Rabi Cooper analyzed timing of the attack.

“If it’s someone who had been watching the community they would know that every weekday morning somewhere between 10 and 25 or 30 men are going to be coming to the early morning service.”

This comes 10 years from the attack on the Jewish Community Center by White Supremacist Bufford Furrow in Northridge section of LA.  Furrow shot and wounded 3 kids, a teen and adult.  Furrow then proceeded to kill a Filipino Mail Man.  He is serving life in prison with out the possibility of parole.

Louisana Judge Denies Interracial Couple Marriage Licence

October 17, 2009 · 1 Comment

Here’s a story that sound like it belong in the 1970’s and earlier not 2009. A justice of the peace in Hammond Louisiana in Suburban New Orleans has denied a interracial couple a martial licence  out of concern for the children.

Justice of the Peace Keith Bardwell of Tangipahoa Parrish says from his experience with interracial couples that the marriage don’t survive. Neither Justice Bardwell nor the couple in questions returned calls from the AP.

But Bardwell told the local paper in Hammond the Daily Star he was not a racist. He has in the past married blacks in his home.

“I do ceremonies for black couples right here in my house,” Bardwell said. “My main concern is for the children.”

Bardwell have talked to both blacks and whites have conduced that black community and saw  interracial black society has accepted children of these relationships and neither does white society .

“I don’t do interracial marriages because I don’t want to put children in a situation they didn’t bring on themselves,” Bardwell said. “In my heart, I feel the children will later suffer.”

The couple 30 year old Beth  Humphrey and her fiancee 32 year old Terrance Mc Kay both of Hammond, are considering filing a complaint with US Justice Department. Humphrey has told the Daily Star that she contacted Bardwell on October 6 about obtaining a marriage license. When the justice of the peace refused to grant the marriage.

The ACLU of Louisana has commented on the case.

“It is really astonishing and disappointing to see this come up in 2009,” said American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana attorney Katie Schwartzman. “The Supreme Court ruled as far back as 1963 that the government cannot tell people who they can and cannot marry.”

The ACLU will ask the Louisana Supreme Court to investigate Bardwell and remove him from office if necessary.

NBA Star and Talk Show host John Salley Wonders Does White People Hate President Obama

September 28, 2009 · Leave a Comment

NBA star, talk show host John Salley wonders if all of America white community has it out for President Barack Obama. Salley was on Adams Carolla’s radio program earlier last week when he asked Carolla does he hate Obama. Carolla said,”No”. Then he asked after 266 days after being election Why the hate Obama. Carolla said “Who” Salley said, “All the White People.”

This comes on the heels of statement by Former presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, former Vice President Walter Mondale, Governor Patterson of New York State and others.

I wrote over a year ago that American will be call racist  if they don’t agree with the President-elect. I was right. Politicians, celebrities,  are saying people who opposed the president is Racists.  My community the black community are using specious arguments against those who criticism from outside the black community.

Playing the race care is a canard. President Obama policies is the problem, Owning car companies Chrysler and General Motors, The stimulus package that promised keep unemployment in check at 8 plus percent. It now at a breath taking record breaking 9.7% nearly 3 million people out of work. Promise that the program would create job but there no proof.( In fact the President use the ambiguous phrase of save or created a million jobs there is no proof of such.) Promise of putting the stimulus on the White House before he sign the bill into law.

Next up the omnibus spending bill which cause billions more. Cap and Trade which causes American energy bills to soar by $1765 for every man, woman and child in the country.  The president quadruple the  national debit in 2009. Then there HR 3200 and it’s sister bill in the US Senate (which has not been voted on) which takes over the Health Care  industry.

Obama did the politically expendable thing and move to the center  after winning the nomination. Most people except conservatives know what policies would be. Fox News hosts Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck  along with radio talk show host Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham  an others know about The president’s past and his left wing tendencies. The so-called “Main Stream Media” did not do long exposes` on Obama’s politics and his up-bringing like they did with George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, and other candidates and nominees in past election cycles. The Media gave Obama a free pass. Many people did not know of Obama predilections until after the election. Now people who gave the president the benefit of the doubt don’t like the direction Obama is taking the country.

I could blame all of the white people that I have known of the last 37 years of my life from first grade teacher in St Lucy Elementary School to the church I attended Orange Avenue Baptist Church and my friends, schoolmates and co-workers From JC Penney to today for all my failings. But I can’t. Why you asked because It is my fault. I let fear  and anxiety to dominate me and control my mind and my life. I am trying to break it. Its not easy.  But its something I need to do.

I got news for the Black community you and President you NEED white folks. White folks vote regularly compared to Black, Latino and Asians. White folks provide the finances for election campaigns. There more white that there are black and other minorities and the can decide the will vote against you.

I’ve got a secret for you Black community not ever body is going to like you. Read the Bible the Pharisees and Sadducee in the in Sanhedrin did like  Jesus when he taught and healed and befriended people who they thought Jesus should not do.

By the way, President Obama got it  in a recent interview he stated that opposition to his policies and the direction the nation is going not the color of his skin.  Sadly, many in the Black community don’t get like the President. That’s a crying shame.

Good Time Charlie Rangel Cries Racism, It’s Time to Say Goodbye,Charlie

September 4, 2009 · Leave a Comment

This is a broken record. For the third week in the row an African-American Pol has cried racism to their peril. Charlie Rangel, The Chairman of the House Ways and Means committee has used the race card at a health care in his district in New York.  Rangel says it race that’s behind the opposition to President Obama health care program.

“Some Americans have not gotten over the fact that Obama is President of the United States. They go to sleep wondering, ‘how did this happen?’” said Rangel.

Rangel see the fight over health care similar to the civil rights movement.

“Why do black people have to bargain for what is theirs? Why do we have to wait for the right to vote? Why can’t we get what God has given us? And that is the right to live as human beings and not negotiate with white southerners and not court the votes. Just do the right thing,” Rangel said.

This comes on the heels of the revelations   the Congressman misreported his income  via  amended tax  forms. This has lead to the Washington Post  calling for his resignation. The Washington Post says: “Much is expected of elected officials. Much more is expected and demanded of those entrusted with chairmanships and the power that comes with them, especially when it involves the nation’s purse strings. From all that we’ve seen thus far, Mr. Rangel has violated that trust continually and seemingly without care.”

Some of his constituents thinks its time for Rangel to go.  Jacob Israel of Harlem  agrees,  “He’s not the only one. They’re all stealing. It’s just that they want to get him out because he has too much influence. He’s been there too long. Every last one of them is stealing.”

Another resident, Jerry Watson  adds, “He should step aside because who knows what else he’s doing that we don’t know about.

Meanwhile , local politicians are speaking out. New York  City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is waiting for the facts to come out. “Charlie has been very helpful to this city in terms of doing things that we’ve asked him to do, bringing home the bacon if you will and I hope that he’s done nothing wrong,” Bloomberg said.

Mayorial candidate and City Councilman Tony Avella said in a statement.”It was also mar his effectiveness in representing Harlem in Congress. He should not stand for re-election.”

Is this what we got look forward for next three years essentially “White folks are out to get us ” instead of say our opponents are wrong. Or in Charlie instances because  failing to report income to the IRS .  I mean he writes tax policies and he does not follow the rules. Basically, do as  I say  not as I do . Charlie  take  your self down to the Dominican Republic and don’t come back Or look forward to a different home in Sing Sing Prison in Upstate New York.
