Reverend Wright's 'Brainy' Theories on Race

IT PISSES YOU OFF, I WANT TO HEAR IT!
People get it done here!
Rant like a raving maniac!

If it pisses you off, Let it out!

~Here are a just a few of mine~

Honestly, I would love to take credit for writing this great piece, but I cannot. Not only would it be unconscionable regarding theft, luring another into thinking I had written it (though I wish I had!) but what's worse is the notion that the real people who wrote this didn't get the credit they deserve.

I am a real sucker for the American Thinker blog. You know that feeling when you get a 'connectedness' when reading? Just about every writer at the American Thinker does that with me.

So first I thank American Thinker and Rick Moran, who apparently got some, or all of it from Ed Lasky. Please accept my huge hat tip all of you. Here goes!

Before reading this, I want you to imagine that the words are not being uttered by Obama's controversial preacher Jeremiah Wright but by, let's say, Pat Buchanan:

The bulk of his remarks addressed, however, different groups seeing each other as deficient. He acted out the differences between marching bands at predominantly black and predominantly white colleges. "Africans have a different meter, and Africans have a different tonality," he said. Europeans have seven tones, Africans have five. White people clap differently than black people. "Africans and African-Americans are right-brained, subject-oriented in their learning style," he said. "They have a different way of learning." And so on.

After jokingly mocking the Boston accents of former President John F. and Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., Wright said, "nobody says to a Kennedy, 'You speak bad English,' only to a black child was that said."

To say that there is a double standard at work when it comes to talking about race is made painfully obvious by Wright's words. Made before a gathering of the NAACP, these words would, if uttered by Pat Buchanan, would have set off a firestorm of protest that may have driven Buchanan from public life. Instead, Wright is lionized as a deep thinker - a scholar who is nationally recognized.

This is nuts. It is bilge no matter who says it. And the fact that Wright apparently can't tell the difference between a Boston accent and the incoherence of a language deficient child in the ghetto is stupid beyond belief.

Yes, but Wright is not an issue in the campaign, right?

"Kill the Police!"

~Here are a just a few of mine~

As the so-call 'Reverend' Al Sharpton marched up leading the rally, that followed by a 20-block march down Malcolm X Boulevard and then across 125th Street, Harlem's main business thoroughfare, where some bystanders yelled out "Kill the police!"

Sharpton urged people to return for a meeting this coming week "to plan the day that we will close this city down" with the kind of "massive civil disobedience" once led by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

So here's my first question: Pursuant to the First Amendment is this behavior representative of the right to 'assemble peacefully'? Having established that, my next question is obviously, is creating 'mass civil obedience' in an attempt to 'close this city down' a responsible way of using the notion of freedom of speech? I think not!

And no way, no, no, no way, would or did Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ever intend for there to be massive civil disobedience. Plain and simple, folks! Dr. King had way to much respect for matters of law, furthermore, the doctrine that espouses peaceful and passive protesting as he'd learned from Mahatma Gandhi.

Hundreds of angry people marched through Harlem on Saturday after the Rev. Al Sharpton promised to "close this city down" to protest the acquittals of three police detectives in the 50-shot barrage that killed a groom on his wedding day and wounded two friends.

Sharpton asked, his voice roaring with anger. Authorities "have shown now that they will not hold police accountable. Well, guess what? If you won't, we will!"

This is the very behavior and definition of vigilante justice. With due respect to Mr. Sharpton, what is it with these people who run around looking for causes, moreover, looking to get involved?

Look…it's not a perfect world, most of us know that. Border Patrol officers were convicted of crimes and sentenced by federal authorities for a plea deal and the man responsible. No….it's not a perfect world and unfortunately, siht happens all the time.

It wasn't all that long ago that the this same Rev. Al Sharpton, in collusion with the Reverend Jesse Jackson, the New Black Panthers and several other special interest groups sojourned to Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina to get involved in the Duke Rape trial without having a clue as to what was going on. Hey Sharpton and Jackson, you looked like fools then as you do now!

I will openly admit that I do NOT know all of the facts of this matter. A young 23-year old man lost his life. The answers are not always blatant eye for an eye. However, I will not stand for people getting involved in matters they know very little about and incite riots in the process.

Sure, IT Still Pisses Me Off!

Earlier in the week I had written a short piece based upon a photographer who, because of her religious conviction—faith—had exercised her natural rights as a human being by freely deciding not to engage in a "commitment ceremony" or union of a lesbian couple. (Please see Crap v. Crap April 11, 2008.)

According to Mrs. Huguenin's attorney, Mr. Jordon Lorence, "They are simply trying to live their lives according to their Christian beliefs and convictions," Mr. Lorence said. Sounds easy enough to me.

In addition, Mr. Lorence compared the situation to Canada where a number of prominent Catholic and Evangelical clergy have been fined by Canada's human rights tribunals for publicly defending traditional Christian teaching concerning marriage.

The line of defense that Lorence, senior counsel with the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), argued that photography was a form of artistic expression, and therefore forcing the couple to photograph the wedding was a form of compelled speech (forcing to talk) prohibited by the First Amendment.

Moreover, the obvious crime here is in the notion that the Huguenin's are protected completely under the First Amendment with regards to their religious beliefs. Therefore, this family's right to free speech and their Constitutional right to freely exercise their religious convictions have been violated. And guess what? They have been ordered to pay the amount of $6,600.00.

This case started in 2006, when Huguenin, the Christian photographer, who owns a tiny two person studio, politely declined to photograph the "commitment ceremony." She had received an email from the lesbian couple and in short order replied to the email with her sentiments and her well--wishes.

The complaint against Elane Photography was filed by Vanessa Willcock, one of the two women in the union.

Elane Photography is small photography studio owned by Jon and Elaine Huguenin, a husband-and-wife team who are devout evangelical Christians and refused to photograph the same-sex ceremony for reasons of religious conscience.

The commission's two-paragraph order stated that "Elane Photography, LLC discriminated against [Miss Willcock] because of sexual orientation."

~Please think about this situation~

Oh yes! Much more to come…

Why is it that when someone says anything 'civil rights' oriented, these stupid activits and their America-hating organizations are exposed, they run like fcuking cockroaches scrambling when the light goes on! Get this one:

With the greatest of respect to the American Thinker I get some real handles on issues that when I think I'm going to lose it...seems they've got the goods to see me through it; this is the latest, compliments of Mr. Joseph Crowley:

Some "civil rights activists" want Big Brother doing more watching. Audrey Hudson of the Washington Times reports:

Religious, minority and civil rights activists are asking Homeland Security officials to screen their own airport screeners using video cameras to check whether passengers are being subjected to bias or profiling.

"We believe such controls are critical to ensuring that our nation's [screeners] are focused squarely on security threats and not distracted by any personal bias," the organizations said in a letter this week to Kip Hawley, director of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

The letter was signed by several groups including the Sikh Coalition, American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Asian American Justice Center, Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the National Council of La Raza.

I'm not even going to suggest that it's me, anyone notice anything missing?

Check this siht out—we have the Sikh Coalition (Religious, fanatics,) ALCU (fcuking anything!) NOW LOOK HERE—the Asian American Justice Center, the Council on American—Islamic Relations (CAIR…clever, huh?) National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the National Council of who? La Raza?? What this one about…'The Race'? Hispanics? I really don't know but it most likely is them. Why do I say them? Because all of these people in these organizations are creating a rift by distancing themselves in a reverse assimilation, "Yo, I need to find some identity, bull squat!

I even wrote to members of both the House of Representatives and the US Senate asking why did they feel the need to develop a "Congressional BLACK Caucas"? What next, the United States Senate of Islamic folks? Congressional Mexicans? The US House of African-Asian-Islamic-La Raza-Jewish-Hispanics-Biotches-Gays-Homo's-Spit-Swapping-Fudge Packers— Representing Americans?

Just like Mr. Crowley, I find a ton of irony here; not just the 'Big Brother' notion, but how can anyone with a conscience listen to Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barak Obama, Jesse Jackson, "Rev" Al Sharpton, or any one of these other plebs that are ruining America and making little micro-communities with their fcuking associations?

C'mon I'm pissed about this crap and I am getting really tired of all the fcuking biotching!

What does Freedom of Speech mean to you?

There is no question what-so-ever that having the privilege of what is commonly referred to as ‘freedom of speech’ is indeed just that—a privilege. Speaking anywhere, albeit in the WC or at a State function, or in front of students or one’s local football club is not a right. It is a privilege.

Moreover, just because a person has this auditable device known as a voice does not necessarily mean they can run around using it muttering words. Nope, I am sure this is NOT what the Framer’s had in mind at all.

The ‘freedom of speech’ clause in the Bill of Rights a.k.a. the first Ten Amendments to The Constitution of the United States is without question the most misinterpreted and misunderstood portion of a very simple contract between a people and their governing documents.

In fact, I’m not 100% sure if I have ever met anyone who (a) could name the other 4 clauses in the 1st Amendment to the Constitution, or (b) has done any independent research on why it was so emphatically important as to what they truly meant when they debated, sweated, hashed-out, wrote, revised, debated again, and ratified the document—only if all 13 states agreed or at the very least—had to have the Bill of Rights included.

Believe me, there wasn’t too much more than the Founder’s disliked other than someone taking a foul shot at the newly formed United States of America. Without equivocation, stating things against the country, or its elected officials in a derogatory fashion—’sedition–most wanted them to be either hung or put in the stocks, gallows, or in a public jail in the center of town.

As much as the Founder’s and their supporters wanted too, these statesmen and citizens also realized that more than anything they had to demonstrate responsibility.

About refugees, political asylum, or defectors: Running one’s mouth off to the detriment of a nation that took you in when they didn’t have too, illustrates to me, the ungrateful, uneducated, and selfish person that is and always will be.

I realize that this is a problem that I have personally; I am an American but was literally adopted by Australia insofar as that’s the way they are. Although I disagree with hoards of things that have gone array in the United States—immigration for one—I still will not stand up in another’s country and bad mouth America. And as sure as I was adopted by Australia, given her track record with the indigenous people there—I absolutely will NOT stand up and state foul bits about her. Sure, I have a perceived ‘right’ to do so; however, is it a ‘right’ to act and speak irresponsibly with malice against a nation, people, or government that’s done so much for you?

What does this ‘Freedom of Speech’ mean to you anyway?

The Forever Young Patrick Swayze, reports cancer

Patrick Swayze, the dancer and star of such hit films as "Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost," has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, published reports said on Wednesday.

Swayze, 55, was diagnosed with cancer more than a month ago, the New York Post reported on its Web site, citing a representative for the actor.

The Post story follows similar reports in the tabloid press. Swayze's spokeswoman declined to comment to Reuters. No further details were available.

Swayze, 55, is best known for his role as dance instructor Johnny Castle opposite Jennifer Grey's character, infatuated teenager Frances "Baby" Houseman, in the 1987 movie musical "Dirty Dancing."

The film, which centers on an unlikely romance between the pair at a 1960s resort in the Catskills of New York, defied expectations to become a massive hit, earning both actors Golden Globe Award nominations.

Swayze performed the song "She's Like the Wind" for the movie's soundtrack and his signature line, "Nobody puts Baby in the corner," has become a pop culture staple

"Dirty Dancing," which also featured the Oscar-winning song "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" -- remains widely popular two decades later and is replayed almost constantly on TV in the United States.

Swayze went on to star alongside Demi Moore in the 1990 tear-jerker romance "Ghost," which also became a huge box office hit and was nominated for an Academy Award for best picture.

The Texas-born Swayze, whose dancer-choreographer mother owned a Houston ballet studio, began performing at an early age and got his start in show business as a dancer and on the stage before landing film and TV roles in Hollywood.

Making Sense out of Kosovo (Tryin' too)

After a lengthy history of warring factions, national name changes, different governments, and for the most part, greed, coveting, and other human behaviors, once again the world is treated to a USA bashing at the behest of Serbia.

Want the quick updated version or the long haul? That's what we thought too. Briefly then—The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes was formed in 1918; its name was changed to Yugoslavia in 1929. Various paramilitary bands resisted Nazi Germany's occupation and division of Yugoslavia from 1941 to 1945, but fought each other and ethnic opponents as much as the invaders.

The military and political movement headed by Joseph Tito, took over when German and Croatian separatist forces were defeated in 1945 and expelled from the country. Although Communist, Joseph Tito, was able to organize the military and government entities into what became Yugoslavia and remained as such for the next forty-five years—stable, member nation to the United Nations, and prosperous.

For nearly four and a half decades, Tito and his predecessors ensured that Yugoslavia continued prosperously until when in 1989, Slobodan Milosevic became president of the Serbian Republic and his ultranationalist calls for Serbian domination led to the violent breakup of Yugoslavia along ethnic lines.

Yugoslavia who most considers the 'Gem' of the world with the love out-pouring at Sarajevo during and after the Olympic games was to become the independent nations of Croatia, Slovenia, and Macedonia, followed by Bosnia in 1992.

The remaining republics of Serbia, and Montenegro declared a new Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) in April 1992 and under Milosevic's leadership, Serbia led various military campaigns to unite ethnic Serbs in neighboring republics into a "Greater Serbia," and subsequently was expelled from the U.N.

In 1998, a small-scale ethnic Albanian insurgency in the formerly autonomous Serbian province of Kosovo provoked a Serbian counterinsurgency campaign that resulted in massacres and massive expulsions of ethnic Albanians living in Kosovo. After N.A.T.O. air strikes with peace keeping troops primarily from Russia, France, and other N.A.T.O. forces, Milosevic's "Greater Serbia" was actually broken into two loose republics of Serbia, and Montenegro.

Widespread violence predominantly targeting ethnic Serbs in Kosovo in March 2004 caused the international community to open negotiations on the future status of Kosovo in January 2006. It was decided internationally that predicated upon various democratic processes, elections, and a constitution then in January 2008 Kosovo would be considered autonomous.

Kosovo's Albanian majority declared independence from Serbia with Western backing on February 17. Serbs in the north of Kosovo reject its secession, fuelling fears the country is destined for partition.
