Damage's Den

I and millions of other Americans thank you for keeping us safe. We thank you for your service to this country. We thank you for showing honor and conviction during your time in office. I may not have agreed with everything that you have done or with all your policies, but no one can deny that you are a good-hearted man. You have withstood the slings and arrows from all around. You have turned the other cheek when faced with false accusations and vile comments.You have shown your compassion many times, one of those being that  your administration has given more aid to Africa than any other administration. You have shown your resolve by going after the terrorists abroad so that we would not have to face them on our streets. I am thankful that you were at the helm rather than the alternative choices.

Despite the continued claims that your time in office was a time of fascism and imperialism nothing could be further from the truth, as was proven before. Still there are those that say this is "the end of Bush's imperialism". In revisiting these ridiculous claims it is plain to see for anyone with reading comprehension that your administration was anything but one of fascism and imperialism. All they had to do was open up a dictionary and see for themselves.

Fascism: a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc.

President Bush, you were not a dictator and you certainly did not have complete power. The very claim is absolutely ridiculous.

Imperialism: the policy of extending a nation's authority by territorial acquisition.

Let's look at a list of countries that have been freed courtesy of the "Imperialistic" United States of America:

France, Germany, Norway, Finland, Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Algeria, Morocco, Romania, Kosovo, Panama, Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, New Guinea, Indonesia, Thailand, Greece, Russia, Tunisia, Ukraine, Albania, Hungary, Belgium, Austria, Libya, Korea, Japan, Italy, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Iraq.

A question for those that keep insisting on using this ridiculous word: Can you please point out which country we have kept and added to our "vast empire". Especially during President Bush's term? Yeah, didn't think you could.

The same people that were fed these terms and regurgitated them without knowing what they meant will be the same ones that call for you to be charged with various crimes. But you will stand firm, as you always have, and you will stand with the knowledge that you committed no crimes. You will have countless Americans behind you and proud that you were our President.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you President Bush and may God bless you and your family and keep you safe. 

Today begins a new chapter in American history. As we face tough economic times and a world of uncertainty, we usher in a new administration that we hope will have America's best interests in mind rather than this insatiable need to be liked by the world. I am hoping that President Obama will do what is right instead of what is popular. I am hoping that he will be his own person rather than feel pressured to answer to the special interest groups and the radical elements of our country that helped get him elected. Unfortunately with so many favors owed to these entities, I am not holding my breath.

Seeing the people that Obama has chosen for positions within his administration does not inspire confidence. He has a Secretary of State the he, himself stated had no foreign policy experience. As much as Vice President Biden sticks his foot in his mouth, even he would've been a far better choice for Secretary of State. Just the other day, Biden's wife let it slip (much to Joe's embarrassment) that he was given the choice of being Vice President or Secretary of State. And with a powder keg constantly brewing in the middle east, this choice of Clinton is not comforting.

America's safety should be one of his highest priorities, yet Obama's selection for Director of the CIA has many worried in that this nominee has no intelligence experience. Obama ran on a platform of "change" yet he has surrounded himself with career politicians and Washington insiders and retreads from the Clinton administration.

With all the expectations that Obama faces... with people demanding the impossible (no worries about mortgage, gas in their car, etc), with over 500 promises he has put forth, it seems that he has placed the mark awfully high. What will people do or say when he is unable to fulfill all these promises? I do not envy his position. I will pray for him as I have for President Bush and will hold out hope that he keeps America safe. 

It seems that the political section of the myfoxdfw blogs has been hijacked. The re-posting of re-posts continue by a certain blogger. For whatever reasons he's imagined, he has re-posted 7 previous "blogs" (that were re-posted at some point in time as well). Confusing, insane behavior.

For someone to disagree with others' politics or views is one thing. But to display what is basically grade school behavior is pretty pathetic indeed. People are passionate about their beliefs and politics. I guess that's where the old saying comes from, "Never discuss religion and politics". 

With that said, when perusing the blogs here in the political section, make note that the newer blogs are further down the line. So just scroll on down past the usual rhetoric from the usual suspect. 

Please note that most likely this post will be pushed down the line by more re-posts from a certain "blogger". Heh.

Isn't it funny and somewhat revealing how people use words and they have no clue as to the meaning of those words? When speaking of President Bush's 8 years in office you've no doubt heard all the outrageous, vile comments aimed toward him. If you haven't heard them, you've had your head in the sand during his time in office. It's unfortunate that people blame him for all the ills of the world. I actually heard someone the other day blame the extreme changes in weather on him. *shakes head* Yeah, some seriously crazy stuff.

President Bush made mistakes, as have all Presidents before him. As I stated in an earlier blog, both political parties have had a hand in what we are facing today in regards to the economy as well as the war. And despite what people have said, the war resolution act was voted on and approved by Congress. The left's almighty beacon of light, Bill Clinton, stated that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction based on the intel he and Madeleine Albright were presented with. Other nations were convinced. Saddam used them before on his own people killing what some estimates have put at between 300 thousand and 1 million men, women and children during his 25 year reign of terror. Is this a better world without him? Absolutely. Is there a fledgling democracy in an area where no one thought ANY would EVER exist? You betcha.

We hear the cries, "It's all been about oil!", yet if this were the case we'd have gotten all we need from liberating Kuwait back in the early '90s because Kuwait has more oil than Iraq. Under Clinton, Congress voted for - and he signed - the Iraq Liberation Act, calling for "regime change". In addition to stealing billions from the "oil-for-food" program, Saddam sent $25,000 apiece to families of homicide bombers who attacked Israelis. One wonders if Saddam had been taken out during the Clinton Administration, would Clinton have been referred to in the same manner and with the same contempt as Bush? Doubt it.

Following his invasion of Kuwait, we found that Saddam was much closer to developing a nuclear weapon than our intelligence community assumed. In the October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate, all 16 U.S. intelligence departments concluded - with the highest possible level of certainty - that Saddam still possessed stockpiles of chemical and biological WMD. British intel reached the same conclusion. George Tenet, who served under Clinton, described the case for assuming the dictator possessed WMD a "slam dunk." Unfortunately Saddam wasn't taken out before he was able to send his stockpiles into Syria.

The war in Iraq has not gone perfectly. As with all wars mistakes have been made. Despite the setbacks, we are winning this war. Much to the dismay of the America-hating extreme left. But we will still hear the cries (as we do even on these blogs) that the Bush Presidency was all about fascism and imperialism. Let's examine those words for a moment, shall we?

Fascism: a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc.

Bush was not a dictator and he certainly did not have complete power. The very claim is absolutely ridiculous.

Imperialism: the policy of extending a nation's authority by territorial acquisition.

This one's my favorite. lol  I mean, seriously... how many countries have we liberated or have gone into and we've ended up conquering and KEEPING them for our own? This one's pretty absurd and shows the thought process and lack of comprehension of the people that use these terms. Perhaps they should pick up a dictionary before rambling?

Osama bin Laden called Iraq the "central front in the war" against the infidels. Gen. Franks said: "The global war on terrorism will be a long fight. But make no mistake about it. We are going to fight the terrorists. The question is: Do we fight them over there, or do we fight them over here?"

Let's hope Obama isn't swayed by the moveon.org, dailykos, huffingtonpost types and continues to do what it takes to keep America safe. Although with his announcement of a CIA nominee that has no experience in the intelligence field, it makes one wonder.

God help us all.

Note: Let the reposting of reposts begin anew. Heh.

THREE MORE DAYS!

AND SOCIALISM GETS A FOOTHOLD

Courtesy of B. Hussein Obama. 

The Inauguration is upon us. In the most expensive display of pomposity and outrageous spending, the President-elect will take the oath of office and usher in what many consider to be the beginnings of a socialist regime. A position that was bought and paid for by special interests and radical groups as well as America-hating millionaires has thrust upon us an incoming president that is the least experienced of all presidents to ever hold the position. Makes you feel safe and warm, doesn't it? On a side note: Hey Rep. Weiner, I'm sure you wrote Obama the same kind of letter you wrote to Bush, right you weiner? (See Stylegal's post, "Spending $150,000,000..." Jan. 15)

Along with this inexperience, we'll have a Vice President-elect who thinks that FDR was President and America had television when the stock market crashed in 1929, (Herbert Hoover was in office and television didn't become widely used until the 50's), he is also well known for his plagiarism.

Joining them we'll have a Secretary of State who has never run anything. Her claim to fame is that she is the wife of a former President who had sex in the Oval Office, was disgraced and eventually impeached. And let's not forget that the man she'll be working for is the same person SHE said didn't have the experience to be president! What's more, she was appointed despite her appointor's claim that SHE didn't have foreign policy experience! Makes you shake your head, doesn't it? And let's not even talk about the person hoping to replace Hillary as Senator of New York, y'know?

Coming along for the ride is a CIA Director nominee who has never worked in the intelligence field and is expected to take over during the most dangerous times we have ever faced.

Joining this ensemble is a person who the President-elect has chosen to run the Office of Homeland Security. She's leaving her own state with an "incomplete security plan". In other words, she can't make her state secure but is expected to make our country secure.

Hoping to hop on the bus is the self identified socialist, Carla Browner, the new climate czar who favors world government. Also we have Tim Geithner, the Treasury nominee who chooses not to pay income taxes. They'll all fit in with the current cast of change agents like Charlie "I don't have to pay taxes either" Rangel, Barney "Banking Queen" Franks, Chris "Countrywide" Dodd, Franklin "Fannie Mae" Raines. More like a list of mafioso instead of the champions of hope and change.

God help us all.

I went to the movies yesterday and got to see Clint Eastwood's latest flick, "Gran Torino". I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and Clint was his usual top notch self. I highly recommend the movie. Hearing the dialogue and catching some great lines in the movie had me thinking of other great lines, not only in Clint's movies but in other movies. Feel free to chime in and add your personal faves.

Spoiler Alert: Some may not have seen these movies (shame on you if you haven't) so be warned. Some plot points are given away.


Clint Eastwood as William Munny in Unforgiven: In talking with a shaken up "Kid" who had just filled a scoundrel full of bullet holes, the Kid is struggling with what he's done. Clint's character says, "It's a helluva thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have." The Kid says, "Yeah, well I guess he had it coming" to which Clint replies, "We all got it comin', kid." Later on after he's had his revenge on Little Bill (wonderfully played by Gene Hackman), Clint is reloading while the book writer surveys Clint's work. He asks Clint in what order did he kill them. Clint says, "I was lucky in the order, but I've always been lucky when it comes to killin' folks."  A truly awesome movie.

Ian McKellan as Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring: While resting after entering the Mines of Moria, Frodo confides in Gandalf saying that, "I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened." Gandalf replies, "So do all who live to see such times but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." Great stuff.

Russell Crowe as Maximus in Gladiator: When Commodus demands that the Gladiator remove his helmet and state his name, Crowe slowly turns and says, "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius. General of the armies of the north. Commander of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the one true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife and I will have my vengeance in this life or the next." A definite "wow" moment.

Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction: The scene where Uma Thurman's character has just overdosed and Travolta's character calls for help. Eric Stoltz arrives and he prepares a syringe to plunge into Uma's chest to her heart. He holds the syringe high and begins the downward plunge. I couldn't watch it.

M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense: Bruce Willis' character walks up on his wife asleep in the armchair. She's mumbling in her sleep talking to him and her hand opens and something clatters on the hardwood floor and rolls around to a stop, revealing Bruce's wedding band. At that moment he realizes that he has been dead all along. Once the movie ended I had to watch it again to catch all the "clues". Brilliant movie.

Recent Best Picture winner The Departed: Leo DiCaprio's undercover cop character has just arrested Matt Damon's undercover mobster character, placed him in cuffs and is coming down the elevator bringing him in to justice. Damon is begging and pleading for his life when the elevator door opens and BLAM!!, Leo's character is shot in the head. I actually hollered, "Oh Shizzit!!" (but said the actual word. Heh.)

The sports movie Invincible tells the true life story of Vince Papale, an ordinary Philadelphia native (played by Mark Wahlberg) that gets picked to join the pro NFL team, the Eagles, after open try-outs. While going through training camp he arrives at home to find his dad on the stoop waiting for him. They have a father/son moment during which the dad tells Vince, "When I told you not to get your hopes up, that didn't mean I wasn't." During the first few games he struggles against pro talent but finally makes an outstanding play during a kick-off. His friends are in the stands going nuts. He stands up after making the bruising tackle and points to them in the section where he himself used to sit right alongside them cheering on their team. I was cheering right with 'em. 

Holding the most powerful office in the world has to be the most difficult job by far. I don't envy those that have occupied the position and I certainly don't envy President-elect Obama with what he will be facing in regards to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict (not to mention the various problems here at home left by both parties). I do hope that he and incoming Secretary of State Clinton do the best that they are able and do what is right in dealing with this powder keg. I fear, however, that this is one problem that will not be solved. No amount of negotiation nor diplomacy will erase thousands of years of hostilities. We've seen that even when a cease fire or peace treaties are signed, invariably the truce/treaty is broken by one group.

 Forgive my long-winded (typed?)blog but in light of some recent blogs proclaiming the evil that Israel is, I felt it necessary to give voice against what has become the line peddled by the Palestinians and the Arab Muslim world and, indeed, many Western countries. It's the line that paints Israel as the bad "Goliath" that "stole" the land from the "Palestinians." When Israel's independence was declared in 1948, Arab forces from Egypt, Transjordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq combined to crush the one-day-old country. They lost. Still, Egypt occupied most of the Gaza Strip, and Transjordan (calling itself "Jordan") held most of the West Bank and half of Jerusalem. Neither Arab country gave the "Palestinians" a state.

The word "Palestinian," as employed today, is a relatively recent term. Until the end of the British mandate over Palestine, in 1948, all inhabitants of the area west of the Jordan River were known as "Palestinians." A Jewish person living in what is now Israel was a "Palestinian Jew." An Arab living in the area was a "Palestinian Arab." Likewise, a Christian was known as a "Palestinian Christian." Israel won more land after a series of wars, land since returned or offered for return in exchange for peace. The Jews "stole" nothing.

First, some history. Israel gave Gaza self-rule in 1994, unilaterally withdrawing the last of its citizens and soldiers from Gaza in 2005. It completely turned over its administration to the Palestinian Authority and all of the Jewish settlements were disbanded and their residents forcibly removed. The Israeli agricultural, commerical and residential assets - which were considerable - were left for the Palestinians. They promptly trashed and destroyed these valuable assets that would have greatly helped them feed their own people. They were given freedom to develop what easily could have been something like a "Hong Kong" of the Mediterranean. Many nations poured billions of dollars into the coffers of the Palestinian leadership to help them realize that dream.

Instead, the Palestinians used the money to build a terrorist army. They purchased weapons and munitions to equip that army. They smuggled into Gaza a formidable arsenal and began to launch daily attacks on Israel's cities. They didn't even pretend to build an economic infrastructure that would enable the Gazan citizens to support themselves. That's why the partial Israeli closure of the crossing points has made life so difficult for the average Palestinian. Most of them can only find work in Israel. There is none in Gaza. Why? Because all of the economic development money was poured into terrorism. Despite this glaring fraud, the world insists on rewarding the Palestinians for their open deception.

Hamas, voted into power via free elections in 2006, fought and defeated their political and military rival, Fatah, to seize de facto control of Gaza in 2007. In the past eight years, Hamas has fired more than 10,000 rockets and morters into Israel - 6,000 of them after Israel's 2005 withdrawal. With improved technology - reportedly assisted by Iran - Hamas' rockets can now fly 24 miles before impact and explosion, thereby threatening, injuring and killing more and more Israelis living in southern Israel. In a display of remarkable restraint, only after three years and thousands of unprovoked attacks did Israel finally feel sufficiently justified to launch a defensive response.

Solarman in his previous blog asked "Have the Arabs ever been a real threat to the state of Israel?" Set aside for the moment that Hamas' charter specifically calls for the "obliteration" of the state of Israel. We also have Iranian President Ahmadenijad calling for Israel to be wiped off the face of the earth whenever he nears a microphone. Iran is on the verge of obtaining nuclear weapons and has thumbed their noses at the international community. Solarman, if someone were to threaten you and say that they were building a vehicle capable of demolishing your house (with you and your family inside) in one fell swoop and over the years have been building that car and putting it together, nearing completion... what would you do? Would you sit around and wait for it to happen? Or would you take pre-emptive action? I know what I would do.

The so-called "enlightened and responsible nations" have developed a formula for exclusive use against Israel. This formula determines under what circumstances and in what manner Israel is allowed to defend itself against terrorist attacks. First, the provocation must be many times more serious than would be necessary for other nations. Simple acts of war, such as hostage-taking or continuous missile attacks against civilian population centers, are not sufficient provocation to permit defensive measures.

Now, the second phase of the anti-Israel propaganda assault kicks in. It begins almost immediately with the usual suspects – led by the Arabs, the Russians, the Muslims – all demanding an immediate Israeli withdrawal from its "invasion" of Gaza. Right on cue, the members of the United Nations begin their usual chorus – charging that Israel's response is "not proportionate."

Finally, the media revs up their one-sided campaign. Their job is to spotlight the injuries and deaths of Palestinian women and children who are accidentally hit during the intense battles. Apparently, the months and years of constant bombardment lavished on the Israelis by Hamas thugs didn't trigger the media's interest. Only when Israel struck back did the signal go out for the mainstream media to join the fray.

In Gaza, Hamas terrorists hide in classrooms and hospital basements. They store weapons in mosques and use university laboratories for bomb-making factories. They are currently hiding long-range rockets in the basement of Gaza City's main hospital. They intentionally place women and children on the rooftops of buildings they know will soon be targets of the Israeli air force. Then, when these human shields are killed or wounded by Israeli fire, the media vents their outrage on the Israeli gunner or pilot, not the calculating terrorist. The bodies of dead terrorists – or their human shields – are then paraded by the ever-accommodating media as "innocent victims of Israeli aggression." And the orchestrated calls for "proportionality" grow louder.

Following this oft-repeated formula, as the selected media images mount, the predictable demands for an unconditional Israeli cease-fire rise to a global crescendo. Moderate Western governments like France, Britain and other EU nations that have large Muslim populations begin to demand that Israel cease this "disproportionate war." The worldwide cry grows until finally the United States is bullied into not vetoing a Security Council resolution condemning Israel as an unjustified aggressor. "Proportionality" is the key word that has been especially adapted for use against Israel in order to guarantee its eventual destruction through attrition. The historically accepted objective of defensive warfare is to eliminate an enemy's ability to harm you. The side that does that first is the winner. And until one side has accomplished that goal, the war continues.

The one overriding goal of Hamas is the annihilation of Israel. It's clearly spelled out in their Charter. They confirm it at every opportunity. The "enlightened nations" just can't grasp this reality. The 6,000-plus rocket attacks against Israel were provoked by nothing more than Israel's continued existence. As long as Israel exists, Hamas' goal remains unfulfilled. The numerous state-supported Islamic terrorist organizations feel the same way.

On the other hand, Israel has demonstrated that it will absorb almost any blow before resorting to war. Israel's one goal is to secure a lasting peace. To achieve that goal, Israel must eliminate the enemy's ability to wage war. If they don't, war will continue in perpetuity. The U.N.'s definition of "proportionality" in the case of Israel's self-defense means that Israeli losses must be at least equal to Palestinian losses. If Israel follows this formula, it guarantees that they will eventually loose by attrition. It guarantees that war will continue until the Muslims get strong enough to finally obliterate Israel. Just think what would have been the outcome of World War II if the same irrational thinking had been forced on the allied armies fighting against Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. Some argue that Hamas is just defending itself, and homemade missiles are the only weapons they have against Israeli warplanes and tanks. But Hamas is NOT defending itself against Israel when it shells Israeli cities. Israel has not occupied Gaza since its 2005 withdrawal.

However, if Hamas would cease firing rockets and sending suicide bombers into Israel, there would be no need to defend itself. The borders would be open and peace and prosperity would follow. The indiscriminate firing of rockets into civilian population centers is internationally acknowledged as a war crime. It constitutes collective punishment under U.N. treaty law. But since it's Hamas firing against Jewish targets, the United Nations is silent. This is just another example of how international law is more binding on Israel than any other nation on earth. There is no other nation whose conduct is subjected to closer scrutiny by "international law experts" than Israel – the U.N. appointed them for that specific purpose. But in the case of Israel, it can be demonstrated that Israel's enemies use U.N. international law against them.

Hamas claims its attacks are in resistance to Israel's closing of its borders. But the reason why Israel closes its borders with Gaza are never mentioned. None of Israel's critics ever consider that every time Israel opens its borders to Palestinian workers, a flood of suicide bombers are sent in. And when Gaza's international borders are opened, Hamas rushes in new and more powerful rockets to fire at Israel's cities. What is it about Israel that makes it the world's pariah state? How can it be that no insult to the Arabs is too slight to justify wholesale murder, whereas no atrocity, no matter how outrageous, justifies an Israeli defensive response? It matters not how reasonable and legitimate the defensive action would be for any other nation. But leaders from around the world have streamed into the U.N. to defend the "Palestinian democracy" – as if such an entity exists.

It makes absolutely no sense in the natural. Only the Bible can explain the mystery behind the supernatural hatred of the Jews. Bible prophecy predicted that Israel would be miraculously reborn in "the last days." The Bible also predicted that a supernatural hatred against Jews would grow worldwide. This will be soon followed by Armageddon and the return of Jesus the Messiah.

All of this is being fulfilled to the letter before our eyes. So don't be surprised or afraid. Christ's return to deliver those who have believed in Him is coming very soon.

Anyone else tired of the Lost vs Lost drama? Is this a textbook case of Sybil or what?? The meltdown is somewhat entertaining I guess but like Dammitmike posted earlier in the week, it takes away from spirit of this Entertainment section. All this whacked out, wheels off behavior is a  tad unsettling at the same as a bit of entertaining.  One hopes there are no weapons around the house. Then again.... JUUUUST kidding. Heh. Seriously, all the posting, reposting, reposting of reposts, it's not me, etc.... no one cares. We just want the entertainment section back since it was hijacked not long ago. I mean, just this morning there are I'd say around 13 out of the 20 posts by the Lost vs Lost gang. Stop the insanity!!

Some great funny stuff is posted on here from Dammitmike, Superman and not to mention Bella's back now... so let's dispense with the train wreck shall we?

This has been a public service announcement. Thank you.

It seems that once again, someone is spouting off without facts. If people would do their research, they would most likely be taken seriously rather than be automatically discounted  and their words dismissed every time they open their mouths (as in the case of  John Wiley Price). 

The latest rant from our own circus clown here on the blogs shows he has no idea what he's talking about, as usual. If he actually knew the facts of where this song (Barack the Magic Negro) originated and what the song implies he might actually become enlightened. I know, I know. Miniscule chance. The facts that slip by him (as happens often) is that this was based on an opinion piece written by black liberal David Ehrenstein for the LA Times back in '07 called, "Obama, the Magic Negro".

Larry Elder (a black radio talk show host) said recently, "Never mind the parody actually satirized Al Sharpton. The song implies that Sharpton hoped against an Obama victory, for it crushes Sharpton's argument about America's alleged institutional racism, a force so potent in a country so racist that Obama could not win. An Obama win threatens to reduce the significance of Sharpton-like black leaders. And never mind a black liberal – who started the whole thing – called Obama a "negro."

Elder further states, "After all, for 100 years, the Democratic Party showed its tone deafness to the rights of blacks. Democrats opposed the 13th Amendment (freeing the slaves), the 14th Amendment (making ex-slaves citizens) and the 15th Amendment (that, on paper at least, gave blacks the right to vote). Democrats founded the Ku Klux Klan – some even call it the "terrorist wing of the Democratic Party." And a greater percentage of Republicans than Democrats voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

More examples of Democratic racism? Okay. "Alabama Gov. George "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever" Wallace was a Democrat. Georgia Gov. Lester Maddox, who as a restaurateur, left pick handles hanging on the walls to provide customers recourse in the event an uppity black tried to enter his restaurant. He was a Democrat. Arkansas Gov. Orville Faubus attempted, in 1957, to prevent the integration of Little Rock High School. He was a Democrat. Bull Connor, the commissioner of public safety for Birmingham, Ala., turned water hoses and dogs on civil rights activists. He was a Democrat.

Even more examples of Democratic racism today? The Democrats in the Senate turned away the Junior Senator from Illinois Roland Burris from being seated (it would have only taken a phone call from "Dingy" Reid) and was escorted from the building, even refusing Senator Burris a chance to use the facilities. Shades of the "whites only" bathrooms and water fountains, wouldn't you say?

As we've witnessed, it's quite alright for some to throw that "racist" label around not caring who it's aimed at, but when the tables are turned (as was recently shown) they don't seem to like it at all.

The Dems realize what a HUGE mistake they've made by not allowing the only African American Senator to be seated and now have decided to rightfully seat Senator Burris. Picture that crawfish backing away, backing away. Once again, Democrat racism and hypocrisy on display for all to see.

Time for a certain someone to pick and parcel comments and repost a repost so that it's at the front of the line! lol  Pathetic.

Seeing as how my blog regarding this same subject was removed (though not sure why), I've decided to repost . It's amazing isn't it how the one party that kept segregation alive and had a former klansman as a Senator yet claims to champion civil rights is the same party to not allow what would be the only African American Senator from being seated for the upcoming legislature. Sometimes the headlines just write themselves (tip of the hat to Dammitmike). On a personal note, I've yet to be shown the instances of my supposed racism as was promised by a lost blogger. Kinda difficult to find what doesn't exist, wouldn't you say? Next?

Liberal Democrat Racism (With a lil hypocrisy thrown in)

We are now seeing Senator Harry "Dingy" Reid claiming that he and his fellow Democrats have the authority to not seat the newest Jr. Senator from Illinois Roland Burris. See Stylegal's post regarding Burris' news conference for more info (Burris press conference: I am the junior senator from Illinois 1-5-09). The Democratic party is the first to always shout and holler racism from the top of the rafters. Governor Blagojevich has not been indicted or convicted of any crime so he is well within his rights to name and seat a replacement Senator. From first glance there doesn't seem to be any reason why Senator Burris cannot and should not be seated. What, praytell, could be his reason for refusing to seat Burris? Seeing as how the Democratic party has a long history of racism (Senator Robert Byrd, Governor George Wallace, Bull Conner, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson etc ad infinitum) one could only guess the REAL reason behind such a debacle. As so beautifully stated by the lovely Michelle Malkin, "It's getting all Jerry Springer in Washington. Grabbing a bag of popcorn for the freak show".

P.S. One last note to leave you all with. This gem from a certain racist blogger. I have only one question: Were you wearing blackface paint while typing your usual rhetoric such as this?

Boy I sure hopes dem guys at the rehab centa ain't readin' muh chit because I's afeared dey's would come lock me up agin........rofl.

Uhhhyeah, why am I not surprised?

The tent flap has been pulled aside and the circus is underway. Junior Senator Roland Burris arrived in Washington to fulfill his duties as Senator and headed to Capitol Hill to try to be sworn in but was turned away by the Secretary of the Senate. About 30 minutes ago he made the following statement to reporters. "My name is Roland Burris, the Junior Senator from the state of Illinois. I presented my credentials to the Secretary of the Senate and advised that my credentials were not in order, I would not be accepted, I would not be seated and I would not be permitted on the floor and therefore I am not seeking to have any type of confrontation. I will now consult with my attorneys and we will determine what our next step will be."

This ruins the Democrats first day, ruins their footing. They're trying to get moving and trying to get things going. In addition, this would be the only African-American Senator in the United States Congress. Now tell me, if this were a Republican majority, would Burris be by himself? Where's the outrage from the NAACP? We've not heard a peep from the Congressional Black Caucus? Could this be the change the anointed one was speaking of?

Chaos and mayhem to follow. Pass the popcorn?


On another note, *sigh* in Lost "Al Jolson" Hwy's latest rant, he referred to yours truly as a "Republican racist blogger". We all know that the lost one does not allow comments on his lofty blogs (but he does enjoy reading and posting on mine!) so my response was to ask this high intellect to provide examples of my racism. He's replied, "No problem", but apparently it is VERY much of a problem as he's given examples of others perceived racist remarks but my alleged remarks are mysteriously absent. Imagine that. Again, lil Losty, where are the examples of MY racism. Is that too hard to understand? Where are the statements that you supposedly attribute to ME.

And while you're at it attempting to find the impossible, how about some instances where I "always had a good laugh along with fellow racists", as you stated? I'll wait for that one for awhile too because you won't be able to find them. You can try though.

Meanwhile, while you're searching for those instances, we have concrete evidence of YOURS. Deny or rationalize all you will, it won't change change the fact of the overt racism you've depicted.

You have a great day now m'kay? :)

I'd like to nominate Superman as our MVP of the myfoxdfwblogs.

With that said, I was just watching his latest post on the NEWS section of the blogs and finished watching the video he imbedded of a pro-palestine rally in Ft. Lauderdale Florida when it suddenly disappeared. Did you pull this one Supes? Hopefully it wasn't taken down by *cough cough* unknown sources as it was pretty powerful stuff. The video before that featured a speaker talking about negro spirituals. What made me sit up straight was when the Imam stated that people "...will have no choice to but to accept Islam..." supposedly because it's part of our nature??? Isn't this a great country where people can come and demonstrate and speak out on various things but if you or I try and do that in, say Palestine, you'd most likely get taken away in a body bag? Seeing the "Nuke Israel" signs and hearing "There is no Israel" or, when a demonstrator is yelling to a pro-Israel person that they should "be put into ovens".... wow. It's disheartening and sad but there will never be an end to this conflict. Israel has a right to protect its people by any means necessary and after holding back time after time after time while rockets rain down upon its civilians, they finally said, "ENOUGH!". I'm glad. Time to take care of business, Israel. God bless you. 

It seems that Republicans are constantly on the mind of a certain blogger. His claims that some of us say that the Democrats are to blame for all of America's ills is hogwash and is typical of this person. Anyone who thinks that one group of politicians is solely responsible for our troubles is living in a fantasy land. It's been a collaborative effort/failure by both parties and it's left us in dire straits. Still, some will continue with the same rhetoric. As in, "Let's pain everyone with the same brush! Weeeee!" Uhhhyeah. Doesn't work. Don't like what a few people say? Let's label them all racists! Don't like someone's views? Let's call them all idiots! It's an old, tired game that's played its last hand a looong time ago. As we've seen, though, there will be those lurking around to keep that worn out game going and keep up the constant haranguing of others.

The "supposed" debunking that this person has put forth has been fiction at best. This person considers op-ed articles as truth when in fact they are anything but. Yet many of us on the other side of the aisle bring hard facts backed with footnotes and actual excerpts from documented sources. For example, even when faced with rulings from the Senate Ethics Committee's official release, this person will close his eyes and stomp his feet, throwing a tantrum and swear up and down that he's right and the Committee is wrong. He knew all the facts of the case, they didn't. Sound familiar? And it wasn't just one instance and one person. It's happened quite often.

In many posts, some of us will use a politician's own words to pen our missives. Such as Obama's now infamous, "spread the wealth" socialism volley caught on video. Then there are others that will take a SNL skit parody like Tina Fey's "I can see Russia from my house" line and believe and swear that it came directly from Governor Palin's mouth. For those airheads out there that believed it (and you know who you are), come closer and I'll share something with ya. *whispers* Governor Palin said that Russia could be seen from parts of Alaska. Now THAT, my lost friends, is fact. But keep believing and drinking the kool aid as there is ample supply out there.

Speaking of the lovely Governor Sarah Palin, she was recently given the honor of being named Conservative of the Year. All true conservatives should applaud this as Governor Palin is the epitome of conservatism. She was attacked and villified by the left for many things including having the audacity to give birth to a Down Syndrome baby rather than do what they wouldn't have had a problem with at all: murdering an unborn child. Even now blogs continue to be dedicated to her for everything from tanning beds to abortion kits to her daughter conceiving out of wedlock. *GASP* You mean there are children out there that don't listen to their parents??? Yet hypocrisy is brought up when in fact it's hypocrisy on display when it comes to these certain bloggers. As has been pointed out countless times. Example? Less than two hours before an imagined heart-felt blog was posted saying that we can all get along despite our disagreements, this person was spraying someone's post with his version of kindness. Pyscho much? Even still these people just can't seem to let go of a good thing. Can we blame them though?

Picture a shrine, if you will, with the lovely Governor Palin as the focus of adoration. This shrine is sprinkled with gifts and tokens of desire. Many times a day this person prostrates himself before said shrine and offers his undying affection for Sarah. He goes to bed thinking of her. He wakes up thinking of her. His very being is consumed by thoughts of her. She... is... his.. all. He wants no one to know about this twisted form of love for her though. So he develops a plan to have people think he actually hates her. Just like that little kid in school that would hit the girl he liked or pull her hair, he dedicates entire blogs to her in the hopes that we don't actually see into his twisted mind. The truth is known, however. Much to his dismay. Try as he might, he can't get away from Governor Palin and he won't anytime soon. She's a star on the political stage for many years to come. So he'll continue worshipping at the shrine, all the while drooling and twitching as loony left websites are perused. When's the next blog? We can't wait! We enjoy the circus! But wait....

Alas, he is leaving us yet again. When things didn't go his way, he took his ball and wouldn't let anyone else play. Nevermind the fact that he was playing jacks while the rest of us have been outside playing kickball the whole time. His feel-good (for him) blog was up yesterday for all of 2 hours before his true colors showed and out spewed the same garbage and nails-on-a-chalkboard whining. Good riddance myfoxdfw blogs, he signs off? You are the one supposedly leaving... AGAIN. The myfoxdfw blogs will still be here. So shouldn't it be us saying "good riddance"? Yeah, thought so. Don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya. And please don't bother replying to my blogs as you and your alters' incessant babble will be deleted. You have a nice life now, m'kay?

I'm not a Cowboy fan but even they must admit that the wheels have fallen off this team. In my opinion the blame can start at the top. Jerry Jones needs to let football people make the football decisions for this team. We've all seen what "hands on" owners do to teams. Check out Al Davis in Oakland and Daniel Snyder in Washington. When Jimmy Johnson had control, the result was multiple super bowls. Since Johnson was booted out and Jerry Jones became more hands on, this is what has become of the franchise. Bill Parcells wasn't liked by some of the players but you can't say that his team lacked discipline. I'm not laying all the blame on Wade Phillips but what does it say about Parcells when he goes to running a Dolphin team that had only 1 win in '07 and one year later they are in the playoff race? Like him or not, this guy's got football smarts.

Jerry, do yourself a favor and let the people you pay do their thing. Otherwise you'll continue seeing an underachieving team and a disappointing franchise for your new shrine.
