What Exactly is Racism?

I could be wrong, but I was always taught that when you made a decision about someone based on their race, that was racism... According to Wikipedia (always correct BTW) "Racism is the belief that inherent different traits in human racial groups justify discrimination." Furthermore "the wiki" quotes the United Nations as saying this about racial discrimination ,

"the term "racial discrimination" shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction, or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin that has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life.^[14]"(Emphasis added)

A very important distinction to point out is that none of these say that racism is ONLY "white people hating black people". This distinction is so important because the court of political correctness and mainstream media would have you believe that racism only goes in one direction.

Racism is disgusting, but it is time that people acknowledge that it is evident ANY TIME a decision is made based on race, because I think the political left in general doesn't understand that. Check out this video (of audio) and let me know who is making a decision based upon race....

Howard Stern may be nothing more than a "shock-jock", but he appears to have missed the "pro left-wing" memo that lives with Bill Mahr and Michael Moore...

I'm Probably a Little Late on this Apology...

This young lady deserves all the kudos that can be heaped upon her. To be a young person who has discovered that the story shoved down our throat by the mainstream media is not usually the whole story or even all that accurate, is just remarkable and quite literally give me hope for the future. (hyperbole acknowledged and ignored)

I challenge any liberal to listen to this whole video and really think about the damage brought upon this country [world] and certainly to our military by the scourge of political correctness. There is right, and there is wrong. To dance with political correctness completely ignores that fact.

The thing that the United States needs to do the most is change our foreign policy to acknowledge that we will act in our own interest. If you are a foreign land that wants our help you will understand that our assistance comes with conditions. If you have a problem with those conditions, then you don't have to accept our taxpayer's dollars. There are a ridiculous number of things that need to be done at home that aren't, because we are busy being the world police and throwing piles of money at corrupt governments. Get some stones America, if you want to learn how, just ask this young lady.

Political Misinformation

I don't like to talk politics on facebook, I have too many very close friends on both sides of the aisle. This fact prevented me from replying to this video when a friend posted it because I like her, and I didn't want her to feel attacked, but I have a considerable problem with the video in this link.

This video comes to the dishonest determination that tea party-ers only ones who make ad hominem attacks on the their political opponents (in this case the democrats). It is as if they are simply automatons regurgitating talking points programmed by a puppet master (such as Sarah Palin). These type of "attacks" are always evident by the party that is out of power and is exactly the same thing we saw with the democrats for the 8 years Bush was in power (i.e. "Bush lied people died", Republicans hate the poor, etc.).

With the mainstream media you get 30 seconds or less to make your point or you are going to have to be heard on one of the cable stations who are "clearly biased" (where you are "preaching to the choir" so to speak). This system commands that talking points be used or you will never get your message to anyone. The talking points are the sizzle, not the steak. If you don't take the time to dig deeper and get some perspective, then talking points are the only thing your political opponent with ever be...

Way to Go Minnesota

Nice work Minnesota. There he is, your new senator.

Even though he hemorrhaged many liberal voters who backed O.B.A.M.A. in the PRM (Peoples Republic of Minnesota), he still managed to steal enough votes from liberal election judges to win the election. Never mind that different standards were applied to different counties, liberals only complain about that when [they think] it affects them.

The Supreme Court of PRM will be of no help to us and the U.S. Supreme Court will likely choose not to hear the case, so I'm calling this one today for Steward Smalley.

The thing that amazes me the most is just how starstruck Minnesotans are when at the voting booth. I mean, even I fell for Ventura's charade, but I learned my lesson. As "W" would try to say "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me." Shame on the fools of Minnesota.

Oh well, what can you do? Next time Senator Smalley won't be able to ride the coattails of the big "O" to stay in office. He might be good enough and smart enough, but doggone it, people just don't like him.

The Most Delusional Person on the Planet

Sometimes you don't even need to look any further than the title...here is the USA Today headline: "Obama considers climate engineering to cool globe".

How much more freaky and draconian does it get than that?? Now O.B.A.M.A. thinks he knows what's best for the whole world, and he is going to fix it.

The actual story is mostly the result of an interview with John Holdren by the AP. I'm sure this guy is extremely smart, but he sounds an awful lot like chicken little. According to the USA Today article, "Twice in a half-hour interview, Holdren compared global warming to being "in a car with bad brakes driving toward a cliff in the fog."

I think I share my opinion of his views with John Tierney "Does being spectacularly wrong about a major issue in your field of expertise hurt your chances of becoming the presidential science advisor? Apparently not". Good thing this president is so much better than the last one at picking his friends.

Common Sense Political Action

The funny thing about common sense is that it isn't so common.

Great now I have nothing left to rant about...



Thanks to my dad for the heads up on this guy!

Common Sense Economics: Cramer vs. Obama

Has anyone gotten tired of turning on the news every night to see Barack Obama going on and on about how bad things are and how much worse they are going to get if we don't act now to support his latest big government power grab? Well Jim Cramer has.

Jim Cramer hosts CNBC's "Mad Money". He is a democrat. He used to give money to democrats, a lot of money. In fact, he still would if his media contract allowed.

But he is also well versed in economics, and in this challenging time, common sense dictates that this fact trumps political affiliation.

Cramer has said that President Obama’s agenda “is crushing nest eggs around the country.” “Obama has undeniably made things worse by creating an atmosphere of fear and panic rather than an atmosphere of calm and hope.”

These and other statements have gotten him on the Obama administration's "enemies list", a distinction he shares with Rush Limbaugh.

Now there is change we can all believe in.
