What’s in Al Sharpton’s Genes?
Feb 26, 2007 Uncategorized
Al Sharpton agreed to have his family roots traced and there is a result that has him floored. Records indicate that Sharpton might be related to Strom Thurmond through a great-grandfather. This would be the irony of all ironies. A black racist who is related to a white racist. The history of Sharpton is easy, he is a race baiting poverty pimp. Strom Thurmond was a big segregationist, especially in the early part of his career. He ran for the presidency and vowed to keep the US segregated. These stances were all taken while he was a Democrat. Thurmond became a Republican in the 1960s and his view on race softened over the years. It is known he fathered a child with a black woman.
Sharpton wants DNA testing to see if he is truly related. He says that he can not be any more shocked than he already is. It is interesting because Sharpton did not care for Thurmond because of how he lived his life (as a racist). Sharpton prefers his brand of racism to Thurmond’s. Be that as it may, this is funny. I imagine Thurmond is laughing his arse off over this one (where ever he happens to be). Imagine old Al worried he has some white folk blood in him. He will not be able to run around blaming whites for everything now because he was an oppressor! How sad is he? He was the oppressor and the victim.
Regardless of how this turns out I feel sorry for the family to have to be blood kin to such a racist. I hope the Thurmonds can just accept it and move on.

Clintons Are Loyal, to Money
Feb 25, 2007 Political
Hillary Clinton took her tour to Liberal San Francisco where supporters swooned all over her. Five people were removed from the event for protesting US involvement in Iraq (a shot at Hillary’s war vote). Funny how no one will make a big deal about that and say she only lets in people who agree with her, like they did when Bush ran for his second term. There was some discussion about the recent fracas. Here is what one kool aid drinker said:
“(Geffen) sucked up every benefit he could when Bill Clinton was president. He spent the night in the White House, and he had private briefings with the president,” said attorney Martha Whetstone, a longtime friend of the Clintons from Arkansas. “The values of loyalty are important, and the Clintons have that in spades … and to try to go after them on a national scale to settle a personal vendetta is unconscionable.” SF Gate
How is it that Geffen sucked up every benefit? Geffen raised 18 million dollars for Bill Clinton. So he got a few private audiences with the president and he slept in the Lincoln bedroom twice. Seems like he did not get too much for the amount of money he raised for Bill. The truth is, the Clintons were very loyal when Geffen was bringing money in for them. Hell, Bill pardoned people in exchange for cash. They only care about the almighty dollar and if you can’t or won’t raise it for them then they do not want to have anything to do with you. They are not loyal to anyone except themselves. Look how Geffen was treated for endorsing Obama. You want to see how they value loyalty, wait until the first friend of theirs becomes a liability. She will distance herself and make sure that person is never a part of anything.
Geffen has every right, as a private citizen, to say what he wants. He has every right to donate his money and to raise money for whomever he sees fit. If this guy was in Clinton’s camp and raising money for her she would be praising him for his work.
Just ask Vince Foster about loyalty. Remember, if Foster really had a gun he would still be alive today.

I Apologize For World War II
Feb 25, 2007 Uncategorized
I was not born then and could not have influenced what happened, but nonetheless, I apologize for World War II. My Friend GM Roper has a great post up about the apology that the State of Virginia issued. Virginia apologized and expressed “profound regret” for the state’s role in slavery. GM makes the point that the politicians in Virginia are apologizing for something they had no control over. They are apologizing for something that people who are alive today DID NOT DO!
There is no doubt that slavery was a terrible thing and the period of our history that allowed slavery (it was legal) to take place. The fact that our nation allowed other human beings to be owned, sold and traded is one of the lowest points in our short existence. GM is right though, those alive today can not apologize for the acts of the past. They can not do this any more than the people who are alive today can take credit for ending slavery. If we believe that Virginia is able to apologize as it has then I demand that they issue a Thank You to people for ending slavery. Virginia needs to issue a Thanks to the Republican Party and all the residents of the North for ending slavery. Hell, since it was a President who signed the proclamation, Virginia needs to thank George W. Bush, as President, for ending slavery.
I want to know what good the apology does, regardless of the logic of making it. There are no people in this country who are legally owned by others. Blacks (in this country) have not been held as slaves for longer than any of us have been alive. I understand the idea that the black population needs to remember the history of slavery but to dwell on the past is counter productive and allows people, who were unaffected by slavery, to harbor ill will towards others. Instead of dwelling on the slavery of the past, the black population in this country would do well to tackle the modern day slavery in which they are entangled.
Blacks in America are overwhelmingly enslaved to the Democratic Party. Democrats promise to take care of them so long as they provide votes. Never mind the fact that the Democratic policies of the last 40 years have been unsuccessful and have impoverished more and more minorities, just so long as the vote is given to the Master known as the Democratic Party.
Stop dwelling on the past and start weening off government dependence and things will be much better. The blacks in this country did not come this far to remain enslaved, even if there are no shackles. Virginia is not helping the situation by stirring up emotion over a situation which has long passed and over which they have no control.

Mexico’s Ironic Position on Border Incursions
Feb 25, 2007 Immigration
The Mexican Congress, position near their symbol of freedom; the Taco Bell, has condemned the crossing of its border by US workers who are erecting a wall to keep Mexicans from crossing into our country. Mexico claims that US workers and their equipment crossed over the border and violated their turf. Mexico is outraged that some US workers allegedly violated their precious land. With millions of Mexicans crossing OUR border every year and with some 11-20 million of them living here ILLEGALLY, it smacks just a bit hypocritical for them to complain.
You see Mexico, there is a big difference between the incursion you are complaining about and what your citizens do on a regular basis. That difference is that the Americans went back into their own country. I guess to the Mexican government, their people crossing our border and staying here ILLEGALLY is perfectly OK, in fact they have said as much, but when a few of our workers cross over while doing their jobs but then return back to their own country, it is a travesty. If the Mexican government watched the border and was a diligent at keeping its people home where they belong there would not be any workers on our border to begin with.
What the Mexican government seems to be missing here is that we are building the wall because Mexico can not, or more accurately, will not keep its citizens at home. Mexico sanctions its people breaking our laws and taking up roots here in America. What we need is for our President to tell them to shut the hell up. We need Bush to tell them to worry about their own people and there will be no problems. But Bush will not do that because he is in favor of granting these ILLEGALS amnesty and allowing them to become citizens of the country whose laws they so blatantly, and with the help of their government, violated.
I have an idea for border security that is sure to work and will piss of Mexico even more. Put a bunch of good ole boy hunters from the South down on the border and tell them it is open season on Mexicans who are crossing our border and that there is no limit on the number they may bag. That will decrease the number of incursion taking place and it will surely solve a problem that our own government is unwilling to do, despite their Constitutional obligation.
Remember, it is an incursion if a person building a wall that keeps Mexicans out crosses into Mexico but it is only someone looking for a better life if people from Mexico come here ILLEGALLY. It all depends upon whose ox is being gored.
