Screaming Wolf when there is None

"There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the sheep!"

The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the wolf away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no wolf. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces.

"Don't cry 'wolf', shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's no wolf!" They went grumbling back down the hill.

Later, the boy sang out again, "Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the sheep!" To his naughty delight, he watched the villagers run up the hill to help him drive the wolf away.

When the villagers saw no wolf they sternly said, "Save your frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don't cry 'wolf' when there is NO wolf!"

But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more.

Later, he saw a REAL wolf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Wolf! Wolf!"

But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn't come.

At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't returned to the village with their sheep. They went up the hill to find the boy. They found him weeping.

"There really was a wolf here! The flock has scattered! I cried out, "Wolf!" Why didn't you come?"

An old man tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the village.

"We'll help you look for the lost sheep in the morning," he said, putting his arm around the youth, "Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth!"

The Shepherd Boy and the Wolf, is a fable by Aesop

The protagonist of the fable is a bored shepherd boy who entertained himself by calling out "wolf". Nearby villagers who came to his rescue would find the alarm a false one. When the boy was actually confronted by a wolf, the villagers did not believe his warnings and his flock perished. The moral is stated at the end of the fable as:

Even when liars tell the truth, they are never believed.

Today in an effort of political cowardness Al Sharpton and the so called "civil rights movement" are crying wolf. The wolf is "racism", like the beloved children book

This story sums up most of the civil rights groups today. The scary thing is that there are respectable, noble ways to fight racism. Now if there were a real case of racism people would be highly skeptical. Such real life cases get clouded because no one belives these groups any more!



By Sher Zieve -

Talk-show host, author and former Education Secretary, Bill Bennett, is under fire for comments he made in response to a caller to his program “Morning in America”. On Thursday, a caller said that if babies weren’t aborted there would be more taxpayers and, therefore, Social Security insolvency could be corrected.

Dr. Bennett followed the caller’s statement with another hypothetical when he said: "If you wanted to reduce crime, you could, if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down. That would be an impossible, ridiculous and morally reprehensible thing to do."

Most news reports have included only the first sentence of Bennett’s comments and have failed to include his “morally reprehensible” statement. Leaders of the Democrat Party including Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. John Conyers are demanding and apology from Bennett.

Conyers is demanding that conservative Bennett be taken off the air and stripped of his daily Radio program.

Answer's for the Anti War Crowd?

Was this an illegal war?

Every week the moonbats lie, they lie daily about this being an illegal war!

It was not!

While it is true Kofi Annan wanted the USA and its Allies to go to the UN Secuirty Counsil, that in it self does not make the war illegal!

Why?

The coalition action against Saddam Hussein was not a violation of the
United Nations Charter and is not a violation of international law according
to United Nation's Security Council resolutions 678, 687 and 1441.


Resolution 678 was passed shortly after Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in
1990.

This resolution orderd Saddam to withdraw his troops from Kuwait and
to recognize the pre-established international border between Iraq and
Kuwait.

Resolution 678 also says that "any member state can use military
force to enforce the requirements of this resolution" or any subsequent
resolution dealing with Saddam.

Both resolution 687 and 1441 make specific reference to and reaffirm
Resolution 678.

The United States and Great Britain, both being member
states of the United Nations, are completely within their legal rights to
use military force against Iraq and Saddam Hussein to enforce the provisions of Resolution 1441.

Also as a note very few wars have been fought according to international law ?


Should we pull out of Iraq?

Most Americans (54%) believe that withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq will make things worse in that troubled nation. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that 20% disagree and say that troop withdrawal will make things better. These numbers are identical to the results of our August survey.

Republicans, by a 78% to 10% margin, say that withdrawing troops from Iraq would make things worse in that county. Democrats are evenly divided on the question, with 30% of Harry Reid's party saying the troop withdrawal would make things better and 33% taking the opposite view.

As for those not affiliated with either major party, 49% say withdrawing troops now would make the situation worse. Twenty percent (20%) of unaffiliateds say bringing U.S. troops home would improve the situation in Iraq.

A measure of the country's polarization concerning Iraq is that Republicans overwhelmingly view the U.S. troops as a liberating army. Democrats, by a 2-to-1 margin, see the U.S. forces as an occupying army. Unaffiliateds are evenly divided.

Overall, 35% say that the U.S. forces in Iraq are an occupying force. Forty-four percent (44%) view them as a liberating force.

Ah! The Zionist Criminal Bush's day of reckoning approaches on the wings of the moonbats, who will sweep down as one communal scythe and cut his errant image from this last den of moralist fools; may the nations rise up to greet the new America as its green fields are dyed a striking red from the cholesterol-saturated blood of the bourgeoisie! Now, moonbats, this is your moment! May the eternal spirits of Lenin and Stalin add such a force to your righteous assault that you come down with a hammering force not before seen! Laika peers down from the heavens, do not let the People's Dog catch you off your guard! Osama Bin Laden prays for your success from his glorious Waziristani hideout, Kim Jong-Il adds his hope to yours, and somewhere, Joseph Biden is performing archaic rituals in your name! The whole world stands behind you, you mustn't fail!

A Surfeit of Scoundrels

"Don't need no uppity niggras thinkin' they gonna be runnin' dey own plantations"

-Robert Byrd-


"This crap makes me so mad!!!

They are so afraid he may win Maryland's Senate seat!

September 23, 2005

MARYLAND Republicans are angry, and rightly so, that Democratic operatives would fraudulently obtain the credit report of Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele, an all-but-declared candidate in next year's race for the U.S. Senate. A pair of twentysomething operatives for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee apparently procured the report for the purpose of "opposition research." They've been fired by the DSCC, and the case has been referred to the FBI and the U.S. attorney's office in Washington, which are investigating.

Mr. Steele, a Republican whose credit history is of interest to the Democrats because of personal debts and other financial troubles earlier in his career, wants the Democratic aides to be prosecuted to the hilt. They may indeed be liable for a fine and even some prison time; under federal law, it is illegal to knowingly and willfully obtain a credit report under false pretenses.

But it was some of Mr. Steele's own Republican colleagues who, while trying to contain their glee at the political ammunition furnished them by the Democrats, supplied a reality check on his righteous indignation. The incident demonstrates that Mr. Steele has arrived in big-time politics, said Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.

The governor, no slouch at partisanship himself, added that both parties were guilty of similarly unsavory tactics, which he attributed to "Capitol Hill politics."

As political dirty tricks go, snooping for financial dirt on Mr. Steele by illegal means strikes us as roughly on a par with eavesdropping on a rival party's private telephone conversations, as Virginia Republican officials did several years ago.

Both acts display a disregard for fair play and the spirit of the law; both are indicative of the current state of partisan enmity. Voters might like to punish all the scoundrels -- if only they could tell one party's scoundrels from the other's.

Lil' Kim... "Put Ya Lights Up"

Lil' Kim's new song "Lights Up" is one of my favorite's.
I woud agree that her music is rough , and kids should stay away!

But the girl is talented, and she used captalism, and the open market to its

extreme, and like the boy's of Wall Street she also got into trouble!

The talented diva, is on her way to jail!

With her tough street smarts she will get through!

She say's her freinds set her up, and maybe they did.

But she did lie under oath, and I guess the judge wanted to make her an example.

Thus lies the paradox of fame!

Do ya time girl, and do something good when you come out!!

I hope she reflects about her music, and her goals!

If Martha Stewart is an example of a come back,

Lil Kim will be back on top!

In the words of the rap Diva

"New York, put your lighters up, D.C. keep puttin them lighters up Philadelphia, put your lighters up, Detroit, put your lighters up Chi Town keep puttin them lighters up, no matter where your from put your lighters up" and I guess that would include the Big House!

NEW YORK —

Superstar rapper Lil' Kim donned an orange jumpsuit at a drab and "degrading" federal jail in Philadelphia Monday to begin serving her year-and-a-day criminal sentence for perjury, The Post has learned.
Several sources said Lil' Kim will join a small group of women serving sentences for convictions at Philly's Federal Detention Center, where most of the 1,100 inmates are men and women awaiting criminal trials.

Kim, 30, is expected to walk into the jail in the Center City historic district, and surrender at 2 p.m.

After that, she will likely be seen by the jailhouse doctor, strip-searched by guards and made to "squat and cough" to show she has no hidden contraband in her body. She then will be issued an orange jumpsuit.

The rapper — whose real name is Kimberly Jones was convicted earlier this year of lying to a federal grand jury about a Hot 97 radio-station shootout involving two members of her posse.

Federal prison officials selected the jail for Kim Friday, sources said. Their choice is somewhat of a surprise, considering that many thought Kim would be sent to a low- or minimum-security federal camp.

Rev Jessie Jackson owe's Ceaser!!

Then render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's.
-Luke 20:25


The Federal Election Commission (FEC) today announced that the Rev. Jesse Jackson and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) have been found guilty of violating federal election law. The American Conservative Union filed a complaint in 2001 against Jackson and the DNC in response to severe transgressions during the 2000 election cycle. The FEC has slapped both groups with stiff fines totaling a combined $200,000.

"The word is now out; crooked election practices that have become the standard of the Left will not be tolerated," said ACU Chairman David A. Keene. "Jesse Jackson, the Democratic National Committee and their liberal cronies have been found guilty of severe violations of federal election law and must now pay a steep price. This ruling is a real vindication for Republicans and Conservatives across America." Prior to the 2000 election, Jackson and his Rainbow/PUSH Coalition orchestrated a massive voter registration drive.

Election law mandates that such efforts be strictly non-partisan, but the campaign was closely coordinated with the DNC and exclusively targeted highly democratic areas. In addition to planning and coordinating campaign efforts, Jackson's group was directly reimbursed over $450,000 by the DNC to pay for its work. The ACU filed suit in 2001 after the public evidence of the abuse became too visible to ignore. "Jesse Jackson and the Democratic National

Committee committed gross violations of election law, not to mention basic ethics, and many looked the other way," Keene continued. "The ACU will not sit idly by while left-wing interest groups cheat and break the rules. I applaud the FEC for this ruling. " ACU has filed several similar complaints and has never lost a case, including a victory against the anti-gun rights group Handgun Control. On May 19, ACU filed an ethics complaint against Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and hopes for a quick investigation.

Racism!.....They Charged ..When don't they?

John H. McWhorter is one my favorite writer and columnist!



He was on the Lara Ingrahm radio show yesterday,
talking about his new Op ed!

Here is the piece, here about Katrina and racism!


Racism! They Charged.......When don’t they?

September 26, 2005
By John McWhorter

‘We have an amazing tolerance for black pain,” Jesse Jackson told CNN, implying that the Hurricane Katrina relief effort was delayed because those who were hardest hit were poor and black. Jackson elsewhere drove the point home by comparing the New Orleans convention center, where the refugees were first gathered, to “the hull of a slave ship.” Shortly thereafter rapper Kanye West went off-script on an NBC special intended to raise money for the rescue effort. He informed us that “It’s been five days because most of the people are black. George Bush doesn’t care about black people.”

Others have conveyed the point by implication. Rep. Elijah Cummings, when asked on CNN whether racism played a role, said, “I’m not sure. All I know is that a number of the faces that I saw were African-American.” Meanwhile, Rep. Diane Watson took issue with calling survivors “refugees”: “‘Refugee’ calls up to mind people that come from different lands and have to be taken care of. These are American citizens.” For anyone who thinks that the rescuers saw blacks as less than fellow citizens, the meaning behind Watson’s lexicography lesson came through loud and clear.

No one will deny that what we have seen on our television screens points to the tragic realities of racial disparity, in an unusually stark way. The almost all-black crowds sweltering, starving, and dying in the convention center have shown us that in New Orleans, as in so many other places, to be poor is often to be black. There is a debate to be had on whether this reality is the legacy of racism - either past or present - but as we face the prospect of finding many thousands of dead as the waters recede, historical debates of this kind can and should wait. To claim that racism is the reason that the rescue effort was so slow is not a matter of debate at all: It’s nothing more than a handy way to get media attention, or to help sell a new CD. It’s self-affirming, too, if playing the victim is the only way you know to make yourself feel like you matter.

It is also absurd. To say “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” means that one honestly believes that if it were the poor whites of Louisiana who happened to live closest to the levees, hardly anyone would have gotten wet. Fifty thousand troops would have been standing at the borders of the city as soon as Katrina popped up on meteorologists’ radar screens. The National Guard would have magically lifted the long-entrenched bureaucratic restrictions that allow states to call up troops only when it is proven that they are needed.

The U.S. Navy would have anticipated that refugees would number in the tens of thousands, and would have started the days-long process of loading up rescue ships with supplies a week before the storm actually hit. Suddenly, against all historical precedent, just for that week, the Federal Emergency Management Agency would have morphed into a well-organized and dependable outfit.

What previous example is this scenario based on? Surely people who level so trenchant a claim have some precedent in mind. For example, what about the hurricane that Katrina has just displaced as the third strongest on record to hit America? Ground zero for Hurricane Andrew, which left 250,000 people homeless, was Homestead, Fla., where whites were a strong majority. So was help pouring in as soon as the rain stopped? Not exactly.

Few people remember Kate Hale, who had her 15 minutes of fame as the Dade County emergency-management director who asked on national television, “Where in the hell is the cavalry on this one?” People went without electricity or food and dealt with looters for, as it happens, five days - just as in New Orleans. FEMA was raked over the coals for the same bureaucratic incompetence that is making headlines now. Is it so farfetched to admit that the problem here was the general ineptness of America’s defenses against unforeseen disasters? One is inclined to consider the attacks of 9/11. Two presidential administrations neglected increasingly clear signs that Osama bin Laden was planning to attack us on our shores. It’s unlikely that anyone supposes that had anything to do with racial bigotry (Clinton was our “first black president,” after all).

In general, bureaucracies are notoriously bad at foresight and long-term planning, and FEMA has never exactly offered a counterexample. Of course, there will be those who will insist, no matter what the evidence, that racism slowed the rescue effort. They should, however, do more than strike poses: They should channel their alienation into something more constructive. As hundreds of thousands of poor blacks return to their home city, where so much will have to be rebuilt from square one, this could be an opportunity to create a coherent all-black enclave that warms the hearts of “black nationalists.”

With the massive funding from Washington that the reconstruction will require, New Orleans can build new schools with fresh supplies and modern equipment. Welfare-to-work programs can be beefed up with better provisions for childcare. For years to come, the city will offer ample opportunities for poor blacks to get training in construction, white-collar jobs, and - tragically, but usefully - medical and foster care. There will also be an unprecedented chance to create small businesses to serve the community as it rebuilds. The result could be a thriving black working class in New Orleans. Older blacks fondly recall the struggling but coherent black communities that integration dissolved - sometimes a little “segregation” can be a good thing. New Orleans is where Homer Plessy boarded a first-class train coach in 1892, which sparked the Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision that legalized segregation nationwide. The Ninth Ward that Katrina pounded was the same Ninth Ward where four black first-grade girls braved racist taunts on national television in 1960, as they took their places in all-white schools. Couldn’t the Congressional Black Caucus take this as an opportunity for activism both symbolic and proactive, and work with Louisiana and New Orleans to channel billions of dollars into making a real-life Chocolate City?

People inclined to see “racism” peeking out from behind every rock and tree tend to think poor blacks will be saved only by a Second Civil Rights Revolution.

They might take the aftermath of Katrina as the closest thing the real world will ever give them to realizing that dream: a chance to create a strong, working-class black community from the ground up. Alternatively, one could sit back and savor this moment as an opportunity for the idle catharsis that goes along with the calisthenics of identity politics. That would substitute for the real work of improving people’s lives the cheap thrills of feeling good - the Big Easy, indeed.

Mr. McWhorter is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute. His latest book, Winning the Race: Beyond the Crisis in Black America, will appear in January 2006 from Gotham Books.

Democrats Failed Blacks in New Orleans

Democrats Failed Blacks in New Orleans

In the aftermath of the disaster wrought by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, the question becomes how did that city get into such a horrendous condition?Facts that provide answers to that question are being ignored by the Democrats in their rush to condemn President Bush while turning a blind eye to the failures of the Democrats running the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana.

Here are some of the basic facts being Ignored by the critics:

1. New Orleans is an inner city composed of 67% blacks and run by Democrats. The mayor is black, the chief of police is black and the local emergency personnel are black.

2. The State of Louisiana is run by a white woman Democrat governor.

3. Since the Posse Comitatus Act passed by Congress in 1878 prevents the President from sending federal troops to a state without the governor's consent, President Bush asked the Louisiana governor to please evacuate the people from New Orleans four days before the storm hit. The governor refused.

4. President Bush then asked the Mayor of New Orleans to please evacuate the people four days before the storm hit. The Mayor refused until he was finally ordered to issue a mandatory evacuation by the governor only 24 hours before the storm hit. There were over 2,000 school buses and city transit busses that were available to the Mayor for an evacuation. The Mayor let those busses stay in parking lots and become ruined by the flood. Pictures of some of those buses, standing in window high water, were shown on some television stations.

5. The Mayor and city emergency personnel had access to the local emergency water and food supplies before the hurricane hit, but did not execute an emergency plan to get the supplies to the people after disaster struck. The Mayor and local emergency personnel did not pre-position any supplies in the Superdome, even though they told the people to go there when the storm hit, and the Superdome had been identified as an emergency site years before Hurricane Katrina. They did not set up any emergency generators in the Superdome, even though they had two days of notice. They did not position any police officers in the stadium before the people arrived.The morning of the hurricane, the Mayor fled to Baton Rouge, where he is now, leaving the people in New Orleans leaderless and suffering.

6. The Louisiana National Guard is under the control of the governor. Unlike governors in such states as Florida, the Louisiana governor refused to order the Louisiana National Guard to standby 48 hours prior to the hurricane with trucks loaded with relief supplies. After the hurricane hit, President Bush asked the governor to allow him to federalize the Louisiana National Guard so that they could participate in the relief effort along side the federal troops under the President's control. The governor refused.

7. The Red Cross asked to be allowed to take truck loads of food, water, and other emergency supplies to the people in the Superdome and the convention center. The Democrats in the State of Louisiana's homeland security office refused. Incredialy, they allowed some of the black people there to die, because Democrats in the state homeland security office didn't want the Superdone or the convention center to be "magnates" for other black evacuees.

8. For years, Louisiana emergency personnel have predicted a disaster would happen in New Orleans if city and state officials did not adequately prepare for a big hurricane, particularly a category 4 hurricane such as Hurricane Katrina. For instance, in 2001, Kay Wilkins of the Southeast Louisiana chapter of the American Red Cross stated that during a strong hurricane, the city could be inundated with water blocking all streets in and out for days, leaving people stranded without electricity and access to clean drinking water. Ms. Wilkins also stated that many in the city could die because the city has few buildings that could withstand the sustained 96-to-100-mph withstand 6- to-8-ft. storm surges of a Category 2 hurricane.

9. Since 1980, Louisiana emergency personnel knew that the levees in New Orleans would not withstand a category 4 hurricane. Yet, the Democrats in Congress filibustered President Bush's energy bill which was introduced in 2001 and contained $540 million for repairing the levees in New Orleans. It was only this year, 2005, that the Republicans were able to break the Democrats' filibuster and pass the energy bill. The bill has come too late to help the poor people of New Orleans, and the blame rests squarely on the heads of the Democrats.

10. In the midst of the chaos and lawlessness in New Orleans, the Louisiana governor ordered the newly arriving National Guard to use "all necessary force" -- a directive that caused concern among some black leaders. Snipers have fired upon rescue helicopters and workers trying to evacuate Charity Hospital in downtown New Orleans. Why were black people, mostly Democrats, trying to stop rescue workers from helping their fellow black citizens?

This is a question the main stream media will not ask.11. In the midst of all of this chaos, the incompetence of the Democrats running the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana, plus the trashing of President Bush by the Democrats and their media allies, President Bush has remained gracious and in command.

President Bush stated: "The results are not acceptable. I want to assure the people of the affected areas and this country that we'll deploy the assets necessary to get the situation under control, to get the help to the people who have been affected, and that we're beginning long-term planning to help those who have been displaced, as well as long-term planning to help rebuild the communities that have been affected."

"Mayor Nagin vs.Tim Russert"

The more I hear this Mayor speak, the more I dislike this ass hole!

Before his election, Nagin was a member of the Republican Party and had little political experience; he was a vice president and general manager at Cox Communications, a cable communications company and subsidiary of Cox Enterprises. Nagin did give contributions periodically to candidates, including President George W. Bush and former Republican U.S.

Representative Billy Tauzin in 1999 and 2000, as well as to Democratic U.S. Senators John Breaux and J. Bennett Johnston earlier in the decade.

Days before filing for the New Orleans Mayoral race in February 2002, Nagin switched his party registration to the Democratic Party.

IN KATRINA'S WAKESchool-buses showdown: Mayor Nagin vs. RussertNew Orleans chief claims he did everything possible to save lives

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin is defending his actions in connection with Hurricane Katrina, as he was grilled yesterday about why hundreds of public buses were not used to evacuate the city in advance of the devastating storm.
Oil slick emerges from hundreds of flooded buses never used to evacuate New Orleans residents from Hurricane Katrina

"I think I did everything possible known to any mayor in the country as it relates to saving lives," Nagin said.


The mayor, questioned by NBC's Tim Russert on "Meet the Press," claimed he could not find drivers for the metro and school buses, which were left to flood in the post-hurricane deluge.

"Sure, here was lots of buses out there," Nagin said. "But guess what? You can't find drivers that would stay behind with a Category 5 hurricane, you know, pending down on New Orleans. We barely got enough drivers to move people on Sunday, or Saturday and Sunday, to move them to the Superdome. We barely had enough drivers for that. So sure, we had the assets, but the drivers just weren't available."

Mayor Ray Nagin (WWL-TV, New Orleans)
Russert did not let up on the question, continuing into this exchange:

RUSSERT: But, Mr. Mayor, if you read the city of New Orleans' comprehensive emergency plan-- and I've read it and I'll show it to you and our viewers--it says very clearly, "Conduct of an actual evacuation will be the responsibility of the mayor of New Orleans. The city of New Orleans will utilize all available resources to quickly and safely evacuate threatened areas. Special arrangements will be made to evacuate persons unable to transport themselves or who require specific life-saving assistance. Additional personnel will be recruited to assist in evacuation procedure as needed. Approximately 100,000 citizens of New Orleans do not have means of personal transportation."

It was your responsibility. Where was the planning? Where was the preparation? Where was the execution?

MAYOR NAGIN: The planning was always in getting people to higher ground, getting them to safety. That's what we meant by evacuation. Get them out of their homes, which – most people are under sea level. Get them to a higher ground and then depending upon our state and federal officials to move them out of harm's way after the storm has hit.

RUSSERT: But in July of this year, one month before the hurricane, you cut a public service announcement which said, in effect, "You are on your own." And you have said repeatedly that you never thought an evacuation plan would work. Which is true: whether you would exercise your obligation and duty as mayor or that – and evacuate people, or you believe people were on their own?

MAYOR NAGIN: Well, Tim, you know, we basically wove this incredible tightrope as it is. We were in a position of trying to encourage as many people as possible to leave because we weren't comfortable that we had the resources to move them out of our city. Keep in mind: normal evacuations, we get about 60 percent of the people out of the city of New Orleans. This time we got 80 percent out.

We encouraged people to buddy up, churches to take senior citizens and move them to safety, and a lot of them did. And then we would deal with the remaining people that couldn't or wouldn't leave and try and get them to higher ground until safety came.

Russert also quoted previous statements from Nagin about alleged racism delaying response, as Nagin had said, "[t]he more I think about it, definitely race played into this. If it's race, fine, let's call a spade a spade, a diamond a diamond. We can never let this happen again. Even if you hate black people and you are in a leadership position, this did not help anybody."

"Who in the leadership position hates black people?" asked Russert.

"I don't know who hates black people," responded Nagin, "but I will just tell you this, that I think the imagery that came out across the nation portrayed that this was primarily poor black people that were affected. And I don't know if that affected the response or not. But I got really upset when I heard about some of our residents walking to one of the parish lines and were turned back by attack dogs and armed guys with machine guns."

When asked what his biggest mistake was in connection with the disaster, Nagin said, "My biggest mistake is having a fundamental assumption that in the state of Louisiana, with an $18 billion budget, in the country of the United States that can move whole fleets of aircraft carriers across the globe in 24 hours, that my fundamental assumption was get as many people to safety as possible, and that the cavalry would be coming within two to three days, and they didn't come."

WHAT AN ASSHOLE....."My only mistake was having a fundamental assumption!!!

Usher Bitch Slap's Kanye West!!!

Usher the rapper has denounced Kanye's statements against the president!
Finaly some one with a real perscpective of what is going one in New orlean's

Thanks Usher!!

R+B hunk USHER is the latest star to attack KANYE WEST over comments he made at an all-star Hurricane Katrina fundraiser a week ago (02SEP05).

The YEAH! singer claims the rapper was wrong to point the finger of blame at President GEORGE W BUSH, who he accused of being a racist, during the telethon.
And the R+B star, who will be among performers appearing on an MTV telethon tonight (10SEP05), states, "I wasn't mad at Kanye's statement - that's his opinion - but it's obviously not the opportunity or the time to poke fun or appoint blame.

"This is an opportunity where we all need to come together - musicians, actors, politicians - and help the (American) Gulf region."

Usher is grateful that none of his family members live near the disaster zones in southeast America - but he feels like he's lost the musical heritage of New Orleans, Louisiana, which was left devastated by the tragedy.
He explains, "The music that we listen to every day... was founded in New Orleans... This city is basically gone, the history of it has gone."

George Bush and the federal government are not to blame for the disaster we have witnessed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. In fact, the primary responsibility for the disaster response lies with New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco and other local officials.

Yet leading Democrats and their allies in the major media are clearly using this disaster for political purposes and ignoring one obvious fact. This fact – which needs to be repeated and remembered – is that in our country, state and local governments have primary responsibility in dealing with local disasters. The founding fathers devised a federal system of government – one that has served us remarkably well through great disasters that have befallen America over more than two centuries.

But if we believe the major TV networks, George Bush, FEMA and the Republicans in Congress are all to blame for the current nightmare. Let's remember that FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, was created only in 1979. It was formed to coordinate and focus federal response to major disasters – to "assist" local and state governments. Common sense suggests that local and state governments are best able to prepare and plan for local disasters.

Jackson Blasts Bush Over Katrina Aid By DOUG SIMPSON, Associated Press Writer 14 minutes ago BATON ROUGE, La. - Racism is partly to blame for the deadly aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said, calling President Bush's response to the disaster "incompetent." "Today, as the President comes to Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi for his ceremonial trip to look at the victims of the devastation, he would do well to have a plan more significant than a ceremonial tour," Jackson said Friday. "His whole response is unacceptable.

" Bush has acknowledged that the federal response has not been acceptable, but promised that the government would get supplies to survivors and crack down on violence in New Orleans. Jackson questioned why Bush has not named blacks to top positions in the federal response to the disaster, particularly when the majority of victims remaining stranded in New Orleans are black: "How can blacks be locked out of the leadership, and trapped in the suffering?" "It is that lack of sensitivity and compassion that represents a kind of incompetence." U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Russell Honore, head of the military task force overseeing operations in the three states, is black.

His task force is providing search and rescue, medical help and sending supplies to the three states in support of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Jackson was in Baton Rouge to take part in a local project using a caravan of buses to pick up people stranded in New Orleans and transport them out. He spoke at a news conference at the state emergency center.

The civil rights leader said the flooding that caused thousands to be trapped inside the city was caused by a lack of federal funding for its levee system and hurricane planning. The resulting tragedy, he said, has largely hit New Orleans' black residents, because they were too poor to evacuate before the storm hit. "There's a historical indifference to the pain of poor people and black people" in this country, he said. Jackson also said the news media has "criminalized the people of New Orleans" by focusing on violence in the city.

The Nigger Store......??

Just found this on posting on http://newleadership.blogspot.com/. I did not know whether to laugh or cry!

An African American tourist was on a 7,000 mile charitable bike trip through Africa when he came across this store in Malawi called "Niggers". According to the writer, the store name was apparently inspired by rapper Sean "P Diddy" Combs. It is ironic that we progress from being called nigger to "nigra". Then we go from colored to black, and now finally we're called African Americans. Now, our people from the motherland embrace a vulgar name we were called when we first arrived here in America!

Pim Fortyun... The Gay Prophet

Of all of Europe's most prolific intellect's , Pim Fortuyn was by far the greatest!

Smeared by the left for being Islamaphobic, Pim saw radical Islam for what it was.

And yet he lost his life for it!

For all men of reason, and libetarian mindset Pim was our hero..He will be missed

Dr. Wilhelmus Simon Petrus Fortuijn, known as Pim Fortuyn (pronounced somewhat like for-TOWN, IPA: (February 19, 1948 – May 6, 2002), was a controversial politician in the Netherlands who formed his own party List Pim Fortuyn (LPF).

He was assassinated during the 2002 Dutch national election campaign by Volkert van der Graaf, a white collar enviromentalist. Fortuyn could perhaps best be described as a liberal right-wing populist, though some of his ideas were rather leftist; he was in favour of free public transportation and reducing the size of the Dutch military.

Fortuyn was a focus of controversy for his views on Islam and his anti-immigration positions. He called islam a backward culture and once said "if it were legally possible, I'd say no more muslim should ever enter this country".

He was labelled a far-right populist by his opponents and the media, but he fiercely rejected this label and distanced himself clearly from far-right politicians like in Filip Dewinter of Vlaams Blok, Jörg Haider of Austria or Jean-Marie Le Pen of France. Fortuyn could be considered a nationalist, but on cultural, rather than racial grounds.

He had a flamboyant personality and was known for his open homosexuality.


Fortuyn was born on February 19, 1948 in Velsen, in a Catholic family. He studied sociology in Amsterdam and later worked as a lecturer at the Nijenrode Institute and as an associate professor at the University of Groningen. In 1988, he moved to Rotterdam, becoming director of a government organisation administering student transport cards. From 1991 to 1995, he was an extraordinary full professor at the Erasmus University, holding the Albeda professorship in public service wage negotiation. When he left that position, he made a career of public speaking and writing books and press columns, gradually becoming involved in politics.


On May 6, 2002, at age 54, he was assassinated by Volkert van der Graaf. The attack took place at a parking-place outside a radio studio in Hilversum, where Fortuyn had just given an interview. This was nine days before the elections for the lower house of Parliament, for which he was running. The attacker was pursued by witnesses and was arrested by the police shortly afterwards, still in possession of a gun.

Volkert van der Graaf confessed in court months later to Holland's first political assassination since WW II, claiming that he shot Pim Fortuyn "to defend Dutch Muslims from persecution." Facing a raucous court on the first day of his murder trial, he said his goal was to stop Fortuyn exploiting Muslims as "scapegoats" and targeting "the weak parts of society to score points" to try to gain political power. Van der Graaf said: "I confess to the shooting. He was an ever growing danger who would affect many people in society. I saw it as a danger. I hoped that I could solve it myself."
