Millionaire Slaves And Millionaire Spies
Jul 11, 2010 Political
An interesting weekend where we have discussions about some basketball player named LeBron James who evidently decided that he did not want to play with one team so he agreed to take less money in salary to go to a team that has a better chance of winning a championship and spies who were swapped out just like in the Cold War days.
Professional athletes change teams all the time and owners and fans get upset. It is part of the game and there is nothing unusual about it unless of course one of the players is a black basketball professional (which is a redundant statement) and he is called a coward by the owner of the team he left.
LeBron James put on a big show about his decision and ESPN had an entire show dedicated to that decision and when he decided to go to Miami instead of staying with Cleveland the Cleveland owner and the fans went nuts.
And this is where things get strange (if you can believe it). Jesse Jackson, the race baiting poverty pimp, says that poor LeBron was treated like property and the words of the owner were just like the words of a slave master.
“He speaks as an owner of LeBron and not the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers,” the reverend said in a release from his Chicago-based civil rights group, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. “His feelings of betrayal personify a slave master mentality. He sees LeBron as a runaway slave. This is an owner employee relationship — between business partners — and LeBron honored his contract.” ESPN
First of all, the owner sounds like a guy who felt betrayed by his star player and one could have any number of interpretations. Perhaps he felt as if LeBron was like a son to him and that he felt betrayed by a son. Jackson though, had to dive right into the slave master thing.
Here are a few questions for Jackson. How many slaves do you know of who make MILLIONS of dollars a year? How many slave masters do you know of who pay MILLIONS of dollars a year?
Jackson is a race baiting poverty pimp who sees racism in everything. He has to in order to make money. He extorts money from companies by threatening boycotts and protests, he invents racism out of thin air and he is always willing to make race an issue and he does this in order to make money.
Jackson and hs pal Sharpton have carved out good lives with lots of money all at the expense of the black community because these clowns are not in it to make things better. They need it to be worse in order to get money.
I imagine Jackson will find some way to focus attention on the Cleveland owner and then extort money from him.
To those of us in the real world, LeBron James is a good ball player who took a business decision that involved less money for a chance to win a title. That decision did not sit well with fans in Cleveland, black and white, who burned his jerseys and it did not sit well with the owner who felt betrayed.
It had nothing to do with slavery, a slave master mentality or anything else racial. Jackson is a moron who wants to horn in on the publicity of the James decision and race is the only thing he really knows.
Interestingly, Rush Limbaugh predicted last week that James would select Miami or another team in a state with no taxes and said that James would not select New York to avoid the 12-20 million dollars in state taxes. Looks like Rush was correct.
Speaking of Rush, VP Joe BiteMe equated him with the Russian spies while appearing on the Leno show. BiteMe was on Leno discussing with Leno the spy swap that just took place. We found 10 Russian spies who had been living here for a long time and who evidently did not gather much intelligence. I think they liked living here and did as little as possible.
In any event, Leno was asking the VP why we only got 4 spies when we gave up 10. During the discussion Biden indicated that a little known aspect of the deal was they wanted Russia to take Limbaugh. So Biden equated Limbaugh with the spies.
I do not think Limbaugh is the issue. We should send gaffe a minute Biden to Russia though he might have been there in the past to work on anti American agendas with John Kerry and Ted Kennedy, who knows.
There are a number of entities or people Biden could have mentioned including The New York Times and Senator Leahy and the fact that he chose Limbaugh shows how much this man gets under their skin.
Limbaugh clearly bothers Biden, Obama, and the rest of the regime.
Then again, maybe Joe is jealous that Limbaugh sold his New York Penthouse for nearly 12 MILLION dollars.
That was the last thing Limbaugh needed to do to break free of the city after he left for Florida a few years ago in order to escape the punishing taxes of New York. With that penthouse sold the city will no longer rob Limbaugh of millions.
LeBron James must have been listening…
Never surrender, never submit.

John McCain Had His Chance For Honor
Nov 13, 2008 Political
During John McCain’s concession speech he made the statement that he was solely responsible for the loss. This was an honorable statement and showed the character expected of a leader. Leaders accept responsibility for failure and the phrase used by McCain gave the appearance of a true leader. This was in direct contrast with Barack Obama who never accepted responsibility for any of the things that took place during his campaign. Every time there was a problem Obama stated that [fill in name here] was not the same person he knew just before throwing that person under the bus.
The problem with McCain’s statement is that he failed to back up his words. After the loss a lot of blame was placed on Sarah Palin. People who were supposedly aligned with the campaign started telling stories of a diva Palin who could not, or refused, to be coached. The stories started fast and furious and they laid the blame for the loss at her feet.
John McCain was interviewed on the Tonight Show and he was asked about the stories. He could have put them to bed but gave a wishy washy answer that did nothing to dispel the stories about Palin. John McCain had the chance to live up to what he said in his concession speech by saying that the blame for the loss was his alone but he did not say that. Instead, he took the easy way out and failed to show true leadership. The straight talk express seems to have have lost the straight and resorted to just talk. And we all know that talk is cheap.
Let’s be clear here. Sarah Palin injected much needed life into the McCain campaign. John McCain is a RINO and he needed a true conservative to bring the base back home. Without Palin McCain would have lost by a much greater margin. I voted for McCain because he was, in my opinion, the better candidate of the two and he has a record on which we could make a judgment as opposed to Obama who has a paper thin resume. McCain was not my first (or second or third) choice but he was a better choice than Obama. Regardless, he is still a RINO who reaches across the aisle to make deals with the devils on the left. John McCain lost because he is not a conservative and even the true conservative Palin could not save him.
Conservatives win when they run but the base recognizes a RINO when it sees one and McCain is a RINO.
