Blackpeoplemeet.com
A web based dating service that is dedicated to getting black singles together. I see them advertised on TV quite often, particularly during football related broadcasts.
(Curious that the owners didn't chose 'African-Americanpeoplemeet.com'.)
I have absolutely nothing against this business or its message. I have no reason to believe that there is anything racist about it or what it is doing, and have no reason to believe that the owners or users are racists. I did notice it is PC, catering to hetero and homo sexual men and women.
What I do wonder, however, is how big an outcry of 'RACISM' we would hear if a web service called 'Whitepeoplemeet.com' sprang up, with exactly the same business model and message, except geared for Anglo-Americans. It wouldn't take 5 minutes for Sharpton, Jackson, et al, to get on their favorite TV channels, expressing made up outrage and demanding a boycott or ransom ...
C'mon ... you know I'm right.

God Bless Senator Elbert Guillroy
God Bless this man. Here's hoping that at least some black Americans listen to his message and wake up to what the Democrat Party is doing to them. (And yes, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King was a REPUBLICAN!)
Honoring The Ft. Hood Heroes Act - How Will Obama React To This?
In the wake of that rat bastard Hasan being sentenced to 15 years behind bars, all bills paid for by us, the taxpayer, before (maybe) facing the needle, a very necessary step is being taken.
The Obama Administration has, since day 1, labeled Hasan's attack as workplace violence. This was for two reasons. First, so Obama wouldn't have to recognize that his triumph over terrorism had failed in a big way on US soil. Second, and I never understood the logic of this (even twisted liberal logic) to deny benefits to the victims and their families that would have been afforded to them if this had been correctly labeled as a terrorist act.
Texas Senator John Cornyn, along with Texas House Representatives John Carter and Roger Williams are introducing the 'Honoring the Ft. Hood Heroes Act' in both houses of Congress when the body returns from vacation. The Act, in a nutshell, labels Hasan's cowardly attack as terrorism, giving the victims the government assistance they deserve (and desperately need), awards the Purple Heart to the military members who were killed or wounded, and the equivalent DoD award for the civilians involved. The Act tries, well after the fact, to heal the wounds that Obama has kept open for 4 years.
Previous efforts to enact this type of legislation have gone nowhere, blocked by Harry Reid in the Senate every time it comes up. He hasn't even allowed the matter to come up for discussion. Cowardly piece of whale shit, that man ...
It will be interesting to see how Obama's minions react to this. Will they continue to block it in the Senate? Will Dems in the House refuse to vote for it? Will Obama threaten to veto it? Will Holder threaten to sue because it violates someone's imagined civil rights?
If Dems fight this, this should be a HUGE campaign issue for 2014. The GOP should keep this front and center in the minds of voters, to keep hammering these cowards with their insult to our military. If Dems relent and let this go through, the GOP should be asking, very loudly, WHY SO LONG?

Obama's Keystone Strategy
After hearing about yet another delay by the Obama Administration on a decision concerning the Keystone pipeline, I came to the realization of what his strategy is.
Obama absolutely does NOT want to make any decision concerning Keystone before the 2014 mid-term elections. He does not want to alienate the far left eco-kooks. Likewise, he does not want to piss off people who want Keystone, for jobs and for energy independence. He doesn't give a shit for himself, since he's not going to face re-election (will he?), but he really wants to keep the Senate in Dem hands, and would cream his jeans if he could get back the House.
Canada has publicly, many times, declared that a pipeline is going to be built. It will either come down to Texas, or go to the Canadian West Coast to fill Chinese super tankers. Canada is in the position that they will have to make a commitment pretty soon as to who is going to get all that oil - the US, or the ChiComms.
If Obama keeps delaying any decision, he is forcing the Canadians to make the decision for him. When Canada throws up their hands and declares that China is going to get it because the US is dragging its heels, Obama wins all around. He gets to claim to the eco-Nazis that he killed Keystone, while claiming to the sane people of the country that it wasn't him - those evil Canadians killed the project.
Coward ...

How Far Has Obama's Election Set Back Race Relations?
I've been thinking of writing this for a while, but something set me off today that caused me to put pen to keyboard. This morning I heard a self proclaimed black woman in her '50s, a grandmother, on a radio talk show espousing to the white conservative host how she KNOWS for a fact that she is victimized by racism each and every day (Of course, she couldn't or wouldn't provide any specific examples.) This lady didn't sound like some wild eyed Black Panther, or some race baiting kook like Sharpton. She sounded like she was the type of person you could sit down and have a meal with and become friends with very easily - if she didn't start laying out her thoughts on race.
The election of Obama was supposed to heal race relations in this country, wasn't it? Wasn't that, in fact, part of his election strategy - that he was the Great Uniter, the one who would bring all people of all races together in one big happy Socialist Commune?
I submit that race relations in this country are worse right now than they have been since the mid-60s. It is not because America rejected the notion of a Black President. It is not because everyone who opposes Obama's policies are racist. It is because the Civil Rights Movement long ago stopped being a movement and became a way of life. Many people of all races on the left, and many people in the black community have latched onto the Civil Rights Movement and do whatever they must to perpetuate it - for that movement provides their wealth, power, and ego satisfaction. Any movement by America towards racial healing is a direct threat to those people and their way of life.
Obama has directly contributed to this. You hear him in flowery speeches deriding racism, and putting forth the notion that we need racial healing. He then turns around and makes other statements that directly inflame racial hatred. "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon'. The President of the United States said that before the facts about that kid's death were known, whipping up black hatred. He could have called for calm and reason ... instead he threw gasoline onto the fire, as he has done on multiple other occasions. When have you EVER heard him call for calm and reason in relation to an issue based on race?
The first black President could have done what he said he would during his campaign. Race relations in this country could have been (and should have been) at the finest point in the history of our country. In spite of his policies, his leadership on race could have moved us forward - to the point where having a black President would be no big deal. He could have broken down that door and taken race out of the equation. Instead, he has used his stature and captive audience to return us to a state where black vs. white dominates the news.
The tired old fallback of left wingers is that anyone who disagrees with Obama does so simply because he's black. That makes them racists. While I admit there are a few white people in the country who don't like him because he is black, and they ARE racists, the number of those idiots is small - much smaller than it would have been years ago. What those same left wingers completely ignore is all the people who voted for Obama because he is black. Vote for someone because of his skin color, vote against that same person because of his skin color - equally racist, isn't it?
In the eyes of many black folk, and many left wing white folk, I am a racist because I am a white conservative. Because I am a registered Republican, I must be a racist. I am guilty of racism each and every day in these folks minds, simply because of the color of my skin and my politics. They don't know me, they don't know a thing about what I think. Yet, there it is. You don't even have to hear it from a black person directly. Left wing media outlets, like CNN and MSNBC force feed that belief every single day. Why? Because it benefits the left politically. Whip up minority hatred towards Republicans and you secure votes. Doesn't matter if it is true or not.
To the black person who thinks I am a racist because I am white and conservative - you are a closed minded bigot who is much more guilty of racism then I ever have been.
To the left wing a*hole who portrays me as a racist for those same reasons - you are a racist and a liar, someone who treats the black person as a simpleminded tool to be manipulated and used for your own political advantage.
I hate Obama because of his policies, not the color of his skin. His skin could be purple or green - it doesn't matter. What does matter is what he is doing to our country. I would have been perfectly happy with Condi Rice, or even Colin Powell as the first black President. I am a big fan of Dr. Ben Carson. (Of course, since they aren't left wingers, they aren't 'authentically black' for the race baiters.) I could even have stomached Obama a little better if he had helped racial relations in this country, in spite of his policies, instead of capitalizing on his position to feed the fires.
How far has He set us back? Decades? Who knows. One thing is certain - He is very happy with the success of his efforts.

Death Of The Printed Page
This has been coming for some time, and will continue to its inevitable end, but I was fighting the good fight.
I don't do E-books. When I read, I want it to be a printed page - be it a book, magazine, or newspaper. Reading, to me, does not involve looking at an electronic screen that has somehow transposed millions of electrons into something the human eye can recognize. (Funny I should say that, you say ... after all, what am I writing on now????)
My wife and I subscribed to the local newspaper for about 30 years. We finally gave it up after its latest price increase, which put it at about $1.50 per day. On top of the price, the content has steadily decreased, and the newspaper itself seems bent on getting rid of itself by advertising its web presence. Now, we just pick up the Sunday edition from a local store. I do miss my paper when having my morning coffee, but the missing decreases the longer it is gone.
What brought this up?
This past weekend I picked up the latest Dale Brown novel. It is one of his works that bypassed hardcover and went straight to paperback. Its list price was $9.99. TEN BUCKS for a paperback novel. Its as if they are begging you not to buy it.

Helen Thomas - Dead at 92
Former White House Reporter Helen Thomas has died at the age of 92 after a lengthy illness.
You will undoubtedly hear all kinds of Washington types, media and politicians, singing her praises over the next few days for being a groundbreaking reporter. She covered 10 Presidents.
Thomas was a far left lunatic. There was never any attempt by her to try and cover things in an impartial manner. Her open hatred of all things Republic and Conservative was widely known and acknowledged. She was an open, unabashed, and unapologetic anti-Semite, using her status and forum to constantly attack Israel.
Normally, I hesitate to speak ill of the departed, but in this case I find no moral dilemma. Thomas was an evil old hag who misused her position for decades to forward a radical left wing agenda - all the while posing as a 'reporter'. Our country is far better off without her.
Now, if the entire staff at MSNBC would just manage to go away ....

Michael Moore's Divorce Exposes His Hypocrisy
Michael Moore's and his wife are getting a divorce. Good for her, shows some indication of intelligence to get as far away from this lunatic as possible. (Doesn't say very much about her that she married him in the first place however.)
I personally don't care, but found a bit of amusing information in the announcement.
Michael Moore, scruffy, grungy, dirty, moronic looking idiot has carefully crafted his image, both physical and behaviorally, to put forth his mantra of being 'down with the struggle'. He's the epitome of the blue collar working stiff, the poor every day schmuck that The Man (as represented by the Republican Party) takes advantage of. It's part of his schtick, part of what sells his brand and makes him a living.
Michael Moore's divorce papers indicate that he's worth over $50 million dollars.
Does that sound like a 99%er? Does that sound like a hero of the working man? Does that sound like an un-apologetic fan of Socialism?
I'd sure like to know how much money they have given to charity per year, and how much they overpay in taxes every year, just to help his big government buddies out.
C'mon, Michael. Clue us in. Tell us exactly how you've been walking the talk over these years.

Zimmerman Acquitted ... Race Hucksters Rejoice
The verdict in the Zimmerman case was celebrated by a class of folks in this country that may surprise the ordinary citizen. Race Hucksters.
The last thing these people wanted was for Zimmerman to go to jail. That would have ruined their payday, both monetarily and politically.
These are people who make a living out of bitching about how racist America is. They are out front and center in front of any camera or microphone they can find, spouting out imagined outrages and fermenting racial discord and anger. They live for these moments, for they make themselves relevant ... and rich.
You know the names - Jesse Jackson ... Al Sharpton ... Barack Obama ... Eric Holder ... Cynthia McKinney ... Sheila Jackson Lee ... and hundreds of other douchebags that insult our intelligence and our country with their vile crap.
They don't want an end to racism. That would end their rein as supreme leaders of the race war. That would end their time on the throne as leaders of 'their people' (in the words of Eric Holder).
This is not a new issue. People have been doing this for a long time, exploiting fear and anger in minorities for their own gain.
A famous person once said;
"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well."
This was not a KKK member (who would have been a Democrat in those days). This was not a vile Republican. It wasn't Rush Limbaugh.
This quotation was made by Booker T. Washington in 1911 - a black man of some note in our country's history.
Update - Sanford, FL police officials have confirmed that last Wednesday, Zimmerman helped rescue 4 members of a family who were trapped in their overturned SUV. After his heroic actions, he spoke with the officers on scene, and then left to go about his business. He didn't call reporters, didn't hold a news conference, didn't in any way try to bring attention to what he had done.
I can't wait to see the hucksters come out of the woodwork, claiming he set the whole thing up!

Numbers That Should Shock You, Numbers That Should Piss You Off
I've heard some numbers recently, numbers that the normal person should find very disturbing:

3.3
The number of workers who are paying Social Security taxes needed to furnish SS benefits to a single retiree drawing SS benefits.
100 Million plus
The cost, in dollars, of Obama's recent African vacation. It was called a state visit, but in reality it was just another stop on the Obama world vacation tour.

90%
The percentage of black children in America who are projected to receive food stamp benefits at some point in their childhood.
178

Why Aren't There Calls To Boycott 'The Lone Ranger'?
Okay ...
Every sports team in America that has some form of Native American reference in their name is under political correctness assault. The 'outrage' over the Washington Redskins, for example. The race baiters smell blood in the water. Even the race hucksters in Congress are trying to get into the act, calling for government action against their home team unless it changes its name. What a load of crap.
Well, why aren't these people walking the picket line against 'The Lone Ranger'? Why aren't they all over the news and talk TV demanding blood? Why isn't Fauxcahontas up in Mass crying on the Capital's steps at the outrage?
I'm talking about the casting of Johnny Depp as Tonto.
Johnny Depp, as white as a hotel sheet.
Isn't that bit of casting clearly racism? Shouldn't the studio have found a real Native American to play a Native American on screen?
(We know the answer - the studio paid Depp, a boxoffice draw, to play in a shitty movie to increase their payday.)
(We also know why there won't be any protest - Depp is a far left wing kook, a Hollywood darling. If Depp was a well known conservative, I would bet pretty much anything that there WOULD be protests.)

Why Isn't Racial Definition Regulated By The Government?
I've been watching the coverage of the Zimmerman trial, and was struck by something. Every mainstream media outlet either ignores his race (while showing his picture) or refers to him as white. Every race baiter who is out there protesting the horrible injustice perpetrated upon poor departed Saint Trayvon refer to Zimmerman as white, and that this is a example of white against black racism.
I have a question. Zimmerman is mixed blood, half white and half Hispanic. Why is he almost never referred to as Hispanic in the reporting? He designates himself as Hispanic on all government forms. Why is that ignored? (Well, we know why - race baiters don't make as much money fueling black vs. Hispanic racism, do they?).
If Zimmerman had been reported as Hispanic when this whole thing began, does anyone in their right mind believe it would be as big a deal as it is? Would Obama have stuck his nose into it? Would Holder and his DoJ Brownshirts be overseeing all of it? Would charges have even been leveled against Zimmerman at all?
Contrast this with our Dear Leader, Mr. Obama. He is half black and half white. Indeed, he was raised by his white mother and white grandparents - his black father had almost nothing to do with him. His black relatives over in Africa don't mean a damn thing to Obama, if his treatment of them is any indication. So, why does Obama refer to himself as black? Why does the mainstream media, and pretty much everyone in the world, refer to him as the first black President (Bill Clinton not withstanding)?
Why does Obama choose to identify himself as black, when he by all rights should refer to himself as white? Obviously, because being black 'works' for him. Does anyone actually think he'd have been elected to anything, much less President, if he called himself white?
Why is there no standard for this? Hell, the government wants to control everything, why doesn't it impose some rules on this? Either say the father's race is the defining one, or the mother's.
(Well, that doesn't work in today's new reality, does it? Stupid me. There could be two mothers, or two fathers, or a father and three goats, two mothers and a horse ....)
Update - Four times in the past few days I have CNN refer to Zimmerman as a 'White Hispanic'. Why the hell don't they refer to Obama as a 'White African American'?
