Reflections From The Mall In DC
Sep 1, 2010 General
Let’s be clear up front. The rally on 8-28 was NOT a TEA Party event and it was not a political event. I get tired of the news reporting it as one of these two things (or both).
I was at the Restoring Honor Rally on 8-28. Participating in it was one of the best moments of my life as I met thousands upon thousands of people who were put out in any way imaginable but who remained pleasant and courteous. The lines for the trains were long and the wait time to get on one was nearly 2 hours and this is true for many of the outlying stations. But people stood in line, conversed with each other, moved a little bit and then stood and talked some more. I know that there is no way that all of those folks made it to the event on time and I am certain that quite a few did not make it at all but they never complained.
It was great being around so many like minded people who were interested in God and Country. People who came a long way to show support and to ensure the honor of this nation was restored. People who never got angry, who waited in lines patiently, who offered food and drink to strangers, people who helped others who needed it. These were the people who attended the rally and they came in many shapes, sizes, sexes, and colors. Yes, there were people of color there, as if that should matter. I am willing to bet that there were more people of color at this event than the one Al Sharpton put on.
I hate to mention the color aspect of it because it should not matter. No one questions a rally Sharpton holds when it has a nearly all black audience. No one questions any event that contains any minority in numbers well above the representation within the general population but let a rally consist of mostly white people and there is a racist element assigned to the crowd. Forget the fact that nearly 80% of the population is white because that does not matter. Forget the fact that there were a lot of non white people at this event because that does not matter. The only thing that matters is how quickly the MSM and the left (but I repeat myself) can scream about how angry and racist these people are.
Would it really matter if every single person in attendance was white? In other words, is it too much to ask that the crowd of people be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin?
It is a shame that the liberal talking heads painted this group as a bunch of angry white people who cannot get over a black man running the country. It is a shame because the so called angry people at this event, which was at least a half a million strong, registered NOT ONE SINGLE ARREST. The police reported NO trouble from any of them. The people at this rally were good people who do good things.
The Mall was clean when they left. People brought their own trash bags to clean up and they gave them to people who needed them. People policed up after themselves and then made sure that any stray garbage was collected and thrown away. The trash was neatly piled around the trash cans around the area. Late Saturday afternoon as the last people were leaving no one could tell that 500,000 people had occupied the area only hours earlier. Contrast this with any rally held by liberal groups and the difference is like night and day. The government is still paying the bills for the clean up of DC after the Obama coronation. The people who attended that left a mess, They soiled the Nation’s Capitol because they have no respect and they have been brought up to believe government will care for you. Don’t worry about the garbage, some gubmint employee will pick up after you.
Glenn Beck had several callers to his radio show who told stories of things that happened to them. One black woman who is sight impaired and has trouble with mobility came from out of town. She had a scooter to get around on but was having trouble. A white family helped her find the elevator to get to the train platform, helped her on the train and stayed with her throughout the entire event to make sure she was OK. This help came from a family of complete strangers and people the media wants you to believe are racists.
Then there was a call from a woman who said that when she and her husband had made their way to the area on the left of the Monument her husband asked her if his wallet was in her purse. She said that it was not. She said she only had two dollars on her and that is all they had to get around on. A man overheard her and asked if the husband’s wallet had been lost. When they told him of their situation he handed her some rolled up money and told her to take it. They both said they could not but were reassured by the man that he was doing OK and wanted them to have it. When they unrolled the money it was four $100 bills. They were very happy and hugged the man who helped them out.
Later that day the husband was called by the police. Someone found his wallet and turned it in. When he collected it all of his money, credit cards and other items were still in the wallet.
These are but a few of the stories that came out of the event. Genuine people doing the right thing. Unfortunately, none of this will matter to those who like to paint any opposition as racist and angry. But who is really angry in all of this. While painting the conservatives as angry liberals come off with some of the most vile and anger filled rants one can imagine. Actor John Cusak Tweeted:
“I AM FOR A SATANIC DEATH CULT CENTER AT FOX NEWS HQ AND OUTSIDE THE OFFICES ORDICK ARMEYAND NEWT GINGRICH-and all the GOP WELFARE FREAKS” FOX
Ed Schultz of PMSNBC described all the violent things he would like to do to those who attended the rally, those at FOX and the people who are opposed to the Obama agenda. He also called the rally participants old, white racists. Schultz is the one with anger management problems.
And though it does not relate to this event, how about Director James Cameron and his desire to call global warming deniers out in the street at high noon and shoot them? Seems to me the anger on the left is widespread.
And has there ever been a time when Keith Olbermann is not angry?
These are the people with anger management problems.
Fortunately, the people who showed up for the Restoring Honor Rally are not like that and the fact they are not is driving the left nuts. They all had their talking points and their reports were all the same but they can’t get over the fact that no one was arrested and that people were peaceful. They can’t get over the fact that they left the place cleaner than when they got there.
The world saw that the people opposed to big government and who want our honor restored are not at all like they are painted each and every day by the media. The picture on the screen and the actions of those involved cast even more doubt on the integrity of the Lame Stream Media.
As Glenn Beck stated on his TV show; “You (those attending) won.”
As for angry old white people, does the person at the top of this post look old, angry or white? Does she look like she cares about color (wouldn’t we all be better off if we did not care about it as well)?
And isn’t she one of the most adorable children you have ever seen? She is one of the faces of America. She is our future and she deserves much better than what we are passing on.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

SF Wants Arizona Boycott And Obama Plays The Race Card
Apr 27, 2010 Political
There is a big uproar by the morons in this country who seem to think that it is perfectly OK to break the law and that there should be no consequences for doing so. The same people who were apoplectic during the Plame controversy in eager anticipation of some unruly Republican lawbreaker being frogmarched out of the White House are working to help. and actively support, those who are here illegally.
Al Sharpton is organizing his group of rabble rousers to stir up trouble in Arizona. Pat Buchanan makes an interesting point about that. How many blacks will follow Sharpton given that a number of jobs they could be doing are held by the illegals who Sharpton is supporting?
Now San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera is calling for a boycott of Arizona. What kind of moron is this so called attorney? Here is a guy who is an officer of the court who is expected to uphold the law and he is calling for a boycott of Arizona because he does not like the law they passed. If this law is unconstitutional then the courts will sort it out. Is it appropriate for parts of this country to call for boycotts because they happen not to like a particular law in another state?
Suppose California passed a gay marriage law and the rest of the country boycotted that state. Do you suppose people like Herrera (whose name and actions show where his loyalties lie and they are not to his country) would be up in arms?
I say screw San Francisco. Boycott them. California is on the brink of insolvency and it should not take too much more to push it over the edge. Start with San Francisco and see what happens from there. If we can hurt it enough they might need to get rid of Herrera. I have an idea where they can send him.
I like what Arizona did and I will wait to evaluate, on a case by case basis, whether or not there is “racial” profiling going on (can’t happen because Hispanic is not a race). If things turn out badly then they can fix it but it is time that the states started taking an active role in this mess because the federal government has no desire to fix it. The feds want to grant amnesty to all the illegals and be done with it so we can start over again and accumulate another 12 million illegals so they too can receive amnesty in five or ten years.
Arizona decided that this was not satisfactory. I could not agree more. I think that people should have to provide the same documentation to get a home, a loan, a driver’s license, a job, and assistance that I had to in order to join the Army and in order to get the job I currently have. If it is good enough for me it is good enough for them and if they cannot show the proper documentation then they need to get on out of here.
As for me, I think I will take a week and visit Arizona sometime this summer. Maybe they will stop me and ask if I am here legally. That would be fun and I would be happy to comply. I won’t even scream that they racially profiled me.
Don’t “profile” in Arizona but play the race card in DC.
Barack Obama released a new video this weekend and it is a desperate call for votes in the November election. In it he asks young people, women, African-Americans and Latinos to come out once again and vote in November (he ignored you for a while but now he needs you). He is begging for the help that these groups gave him in 2008 because he knows his party is going to get its head handed over on a platter in November. Mr. balls to the walls Obama is working hard to cram as much legislation through because after November he will be a lame duck first termer and Viagra won’t be able to help his impotence.
In his call to arms Obama neglected to ask for help from a group of people who ensured his victory and that would be the millions of white folks who voted for him in the last election. I guess he figures those folks are not that important. Let’s face it though, he needn’t ask blacks to vote for Democrats. Those votes are a lock. The Latinos, those folks supported him and now that he is trying to give them all amnesty they will be real happy. However, the group that overwhelmingly pays the bills in this country was excluded from his request. That is the one group that gave him the election because he could not have won without it.
Not that it matters. All politics are local and the local races are what will matter. Obama will lose a lot of them in November. It will be death by a thousand cuts.
And I will love watching it play out.
Be sure to visit Arizona this year and boycott San Francisco.
Never surrender, never submit.

Al Sharpton Ready To March Again
Apr 25, 2010 Political
Al Sharpton, a guy they call reverend but who I have never seen leading a congregation in a church, is ready to go to Arizona to stand hand in hand with the Hispanic population that is upset by the new law that allows the police to verify that people are here legally. Al Sharpton will be out there rabble rousing and stirring up trouble. You know how it is, these left wing nut jobs go out and use hateful speech (inspired by the hateful speech of Obama) which causes the unstable people on the left to commit violence.
We have seen this with Sharpton before and people have died. He starts yelling about something and the nuts on the fringe left start killing. Bill Clinton described this last week when he was trying to paint the peaceful TEA Party group as potentially violent but Bill was wrong about the group. It is the left that commits the violence.
Sharpton is liable to go to Arizona and whip the illegals into a frenzy and they will commit acts of violence. We might get another Tim McVeigh in Arizona if the left is not careful.
I can understand why some folks are upset because they are rightly worried about how the law will impact those who are here legally and they claim racial profiling will take place. Of course this is wrong because Hispanic is not a race it is an ethnicity.
Be that as it may, the groups who are opposed to this have as much blame as anyone else in this matter. For years these advocacy groups have been working to hide illegals and to make it easier for them to get here and to stay here. These groups have been helping illegals break the law and they oppose any effort to get illegal immigration under control. If they had worked to keep illegals out and to help people come here legally we would not have a problem but since they assisted the illegals things have gotten steadily worse and the citizens of Arizona have said “enough”.
Arizona has decided to take matters in its own hands to fix a problem that has been ignored by the federal government and that has been exacerbated by the intrusion of advocacy groups who are as eager and willing to break the law as those who sneak across the borders. They are as much to blame and whining about what is taking place now will not garner them any sympathy.
People can see these groups for what they really are and what they really do.
But Sharpton will be happy to show up and rally for the illegals. Sharpton is not a stranger to breaking the law and he is not a stranger to inciting violence so this might be real interesting.
Be kind of funny if Sharpton showed up and huge crowds gathered and they engaged in civil disobedience. Things would get out of hand and stuff would get broken. Then the police would have to show up and make arrests.
The beauty of it is now that the law has been passed the cops will be able to check and see if the people Sharpton is there to stir up are here legally.
Sharpton might actually help rid the country of a large number of illegals.
But the folks in Arizona should be particularly vigilant because those left wing nut jobs get stirred into a violent frenzy really easy and Al Shapton will be there to whip them up.
Where is Bill Clinton to discuss this?
Is there a fat intern missing?

Limbaugh Gets Penalty Flag In NFL Bid
Oct 18, 2009 Political
Rush Limbaugh was asked by a group of investors if he would be interested in joining a group of people who want to buy the St. Louis Rams. Limbaugh became part of that group and the NFL and the liberals showed their true colors. The NFL decided that it did not need a divisive person on a team after people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton complained.
The MSM had over a dozen morons who attributed racist quotes to Limbaugh that he NEVER said. None of these morons could source the quotes back to Limbaugh and Limbaugh claims they were tracked back to a blogger who made them up out of whole cloth. None of this seems to matter as the MSM and the radical left (but I repeat myself) keep echoing the racist remarks and attributing them to Limbaugh. The true echo chamber exists on the left and they usually echo lies. None of the so called professional journalists bothered to check to see if the remarks were true and there is a reason for that, they want to destroy people with whom they disagree. They hate Limbaugh so they went after him.
It is true he made a comment concerning Donovan McNabb a few years ago but one would be hard pressed to show racism in the comment.
I bet the NFL would allow Sharpton to invest and he has been divisive and has incited riots that resulted in the deaths of people. His big mouth caused people to die. And, it is not the first time he lied about something. Who could forget the Brawley case? Both Sharpton and Jackson have spewed anti Semitic remarks and are divisive people but I imagine they could invest.
You see, if you are the right demographic you are not considered divisive, you can make all the racially insensitive comments you want and you are good to go. If you are not the right demographic they will make things up and lie to get you.
Big Hollywood reports on three people who own as much of a football team and have as much to do with it as Limbaugh would have with the Rams. Jennifer Lopez, Serena Williams and singer Fergie. Lopez sings songs using the N word which is racist when used by the wrong kind of person. Serena Williams had a profanity laced tirade in a tennis match where she threatened a judge and Fergie, an Obama supporter who performed at the White House Easter egg hunt. The song contained profanities and was not appropriate for little kids. Her group, The Black-Eyed Peas, also sang a song that called the CIA terrorists. None of this is divisive enough to keep them from being, dare I say it, minority owners in the NFL.
Then we get to the NFL itself. This is an organization that has criminals laced throughout. There is not a team in the league that has not had its share of criminal behavior that has resulted in the arrest of players. This is the league that allowed Michael Vick to return as if nothing had happened. Don’t get me wrong. I feel like Vick paid his dues by serving his jail time and if the league wanted him back then that is fine but the act of bringing him back was certainly divisive. It seems the league can forgive that kind of behavior but will exclude people who have been wrongly accused of wrong doing.
I suppose that some liberal out there could make the case that Limbaugh’s past abuse of prescription pain killers should exclude him from being an owner. The point could be made but we are talking about a league that has players who pop hot for drugs and where a lifetime suspension for drug use is not really a lifetime. That matters little to people who continue to mock Limbaugh for his prescription drug abuse while cheering Patrick Kennedy and any other liberal who has had trouble with drugs but checked into rehab. If you murder someone while under the influence you are held in higher esteem. The NFL had no problems with the late Bob Irsay (owner fo the Colts) and he was a raging alcoholic.
The NFL ownership group is more exclusive than the United States Senate and the owners are careful about who they let in their little club, unless, of course, the people are part of the correct demographics. Limbaugh wrote about all this in the Wall Street Journal where he discusses the politics of the matter.
Jackson and Sharpton are anti Semitic, race baiting poverty pimps who are too divisive to do much of anything. They are probably cheering and giving each other a reach around because of their ability to spread lies and race hustle once again. Their racism has left Limbaugh in the cold as the group decided to drop him from the list of potential buyers.
It is all good and Limbaugh will come through just fine. I hope he sues the people who repeated the quotes and makes a great deal of money off them. That would make me cheer as the MSM and race hustlers got taken down.
[note]I will also cheer when Jackson and Sharpton kick the bucket. I don’t wish death on them but when they die I will throw a party celebrating the world being rid of these two worthless pieces of camel dung.[/note]
This whole event will likely give Limbaugh even more listeners. That is great because we need more and more people finally listening to someone who understands the evil of liberalism and who shows how anyone can make it in America if they work hard instead of becoming victims.
Just as a point of clarity, I don’t care one way or another if Limbaugh owns this or any other NFL team. I just think that he has been treated wrong in this issue and that Jackson or Sharpton would be screaming racism if the NFL excluded someone like, well either of them, because of their divisive nature. I also think that the widespread passing of the untrue quotes that were attributed to Limbaugh demonstrates what the MSM and liberals in general have become.
A group that is intent of getting what it wants and is not afraid to destroy anyone who gets in its way.
Fortunately, there are plenty of us Patriots who have no fear. Limbaugh is one such man and if he does it right he will sue them and take millions from them.
Now that would be truly sweet…

What If It Had Been A Burglar At Gates’ House
Jul 24, 2009 Political
Henry Louis Gates Jr, a Harvard Professor and friend of Barack Obama, arrived at his home last week after a visit to China. He was having trouble getting his door opened and a neighbor called the police because it looked like someone was breaking into his home. The police arrived and asked him for some ID. Gates became irate and initially refused to show ID. He was eventually arrested because he followed the police officer outside to continue his tirade. Gates accused the officer of racial profiling and said the cop was a racist. Al Sharpton got in on the action and this became a national story.
Sgt. James Crowley said that he is not a racist. He is an instructor on racial profiling and he tried to save a black professional basketball player by administering CPR. It is unlikely a racist would preform mouth to mouth on a black man.
Barack Obama added fuel to the fire by stating that he did not know all the facts and that he did not know if race was a motive but that the police “acted stupidly.” The White House has been doing damage control since the remark. Gates has demanded an apology and SGT Crowley said that he would not apologize, now or ever.
I wonder what would have happened if Crowley had shown up at the residence and an actual burglar was in the home and the burglar said that he was to owner so Crowley left without asking for ID thus allowing the crook to rob Gates blind. You can bet Crowley would be in some real hot water. Also, how did Crowley know if a criminal was behind the door with a gun and that Gates was trying to get rid of the officer because of that threat?
SGT Crowley did his job. Gates should be happy that law enforcement quickly responded to the report of a possible robbery and that they asked Gates for ID to ensure he was who he claimed to be. Gates should also be happy that the police took the time to ensure there was not a dangerous situation behind the door.
Instead Gates and the race hustlers, including his race hustling buddy in the White House, have made this an issue about race instead of solid law enforcement. Could this have been handled differently? I don’t know because I was not there but I do know that if you become belligerent with the police you can end up arrested.
A black police officer who was at the scene backs up SGT Crowley and says that he supports him 100%. Sgt. Leon Lashley said Gates acted strangely and that Crowley did things correctly.
Let’s see how long this twists in the wind before Obama is forced to apologize for indicting a police officer, and playing the race card, for doing his job.
UPDATE: This letter says quite a bit. Obama, SHarpton and Gates should read it.
