Assigning Blame



How often have you heard conservatives tell blacks to stop blaming whites for their problems, or that they are practicing victomology??

What I find funny is that these same conservatives who tell blacks NOT to assign blame turn around and assign blame to liberals for all the failings in America.

Just thought I would toss that out.



Blaming white people as a race and blaming a bunch of good-for-nothing socialists is not the same thing. Liberal policies have done more harm to blacks as a race than any one particular white person or whites as a race of people.





Well I have to take the Bill Cosby stance on this and say that I agree. Blacks DO need to stop blaming white for problems created andmaintained within their community. As for liberals, its different because I think that liberals CAN be blamed liberal and at times socialist policies that hurt America. The difference is that Liberals when elected have the power to make a wreck of things with bad policies. Whites for the most part cannot influence blacks to do such things as increase their marriage rate, and rebuild the concept of the black American in a traditional family unit.


Liberals who promote taxing the producers of wealth to pay for state-run social programs that almost all of the producers aren't eligible for (e.g. Food Stamps, Welfare, Section 8, Medicare, Medicaid) are at a minimum, socialist idealogues.

These programs have socially engineered the removal of drive and pride from many, if not most black people. At least when poor blacks had to work for a check (or even work to avoid the master's whip) they had pride in what they did and they looked forward to a better day for themselves and future generations. People tried to make things better back then.

The social welfare systems implemented in the 1960s turned the emerging post civil rights economic rainbow upside down, and here we are almost 50 years later and it's _still_ broken. Most blacks are simply pawns for yet another liberal policy. It's a royal shame.

How to spot Racism?



I have often found that while debating the right and left racism isis often exagarated or down played.

How does one find a balance.

Racism exist and will always exist as long as people are on theplanet.So for some in the right to ignore racism is just dumb and canbe racist.

On the left they make create an enviroment wherepeople can not belive them.It is like the boy who cried wolf!How do you respond to this issue?
Libertas



Dell Gines

I have long argued that the only way racism can aptly be identified is through statistics.

Our relative group disparity between the majority group has to be the measurement of the latent and active effects of racism, because it can be argued that the initial disparities were the result of racism.

Most people use anecdotal evidence or assumptions.


I think the correlation between black disparity from the majority and racism is a spurious one. In other words there many things that come into play that keep black disparity alive that have nothing to do with racism. Sure we can blame the legacy of slavery, but at some point the individuals in question must simply snap out of it, as today more than ever blacks, and non-whites in general have many opportunities to acheive and advance in this country."Most people use anecdotal evidence or assumptions."I agree.

Russell Simmons, Kimora Lee announce split



Hip-hop mogul, designer to end 7-year marriage, remain caring friends

Hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons and his model-turned-entrepreneur wife, Kimora Lee have appeared at public events together in recent weeks but reportedly had been separated for some time even though they were still living together.

Adjective: Removing the Black from Black Conservative

Adjective - The part of speech that modifies a noun or other substantive by limiting, qualifying, or specifying and distinguished in English morphologically by one of several suffixes, such as -able, -ous, -er, and -est, or syntactically by position directly preceding a noun or nominal phrase.

I was about to blast another 'black conservative' yesterday for his particular rant on the rest of us 'stupid blacks' who aren't Republican. I didn't though. I really have been trying to not minor on the minutia. In other words, I want to stop wasting time on folks who really have relatively little influence on blacks and our experience and outlook in the world. This is difficult for me though, because I love deconstructing foolishness as much as my 9 month old son likes knocking down the big lego towers my daugher builds. So I am, just a little bit today, and in a general way going to knock down some fake black cons.

First don't get me wrong, as I have stated before there are some conservative and Republican brothers and sisters I love in the blogosphere, as well as in public life. Many folks might define me a some what of a conservative depending on how you define that term, and that would be a fair assessment. But these are folks who have an ability to be introspective and critically reasoned, and not ideological buffoons parroting white conservatives and getting tossed scooby snacks.more-->

So the general thesis of my article today is that brothers need to detach the black from the conservative, if you aren't a black applying the blackness to conservativism.

Riddle me this huh?

As stated above, an adjective is a word used as a modifier and descriptive term for a noun. For example, if I say 'white' wall, then I have identified the wall by virtue of its color. Now when we use it for humans, and adjective can be used as a state, or as an expression. Check it, the 'black' guy down the corner versus he is in a 'black' mood today. The first adjective is state, IE the guy has dark melanin skin, his state is 'black'. The second adjective is an expression, he is expressing himself through his 'black' mood.

Now as this relates to the black conservative we have to ask ourselves if it is a state or an expression. If it is a state, IE it is simply a 'black' guy who practices conservative ideology, then there is really no purpose for being identified as a 'black' conservative, because there is nothing materially different from a 'black' conservative and a 'white' one. However if it is an expression, if the 'black' truly modifies the term conservative then this is much different. In this adjective scenario the conservative noun would be modified by 'blackness' meaning that the black conservative would be using conservative philosophy and innnovative conservative thought specifically applied, derived, and in relation to black American life.

It is my belief that most so-called 'black' conservatives are simply talking about state. They are 'black' but that blackness has nothing to do with their conservativism. They don't offer innovative conservative solutions to black life and culture, they don't offer critical conservative reasons specific to and derived from 'black' culture, they simply are what they are, conservatives. They parrot non-unique standard conservative ideology, nothing more nothing less. To me they have no real relevance for the black experiences and answer no questions for the disparity that blacks face that we could not get from a white conservative.

But the true 'black' conservative whose blackness colors and truly modifies his/her conservatism uses as a framework for innovative social change conservatism distinctly colored and applied to the very real conditions of black Americans. Although common principles may be seen in relation to white conservatives, the expression of these principles is unique to the unique condition of blacks and the black culture which shapes this expression.

The reason Project 21 cats, and other so-called black conservatives are outcast, isolated, and deemed as foolish asses, is because the 'black' in the black conservative is a state, and being that it is a state, it has no relevance to the masses of us blacks. They should just drop the adjective 'black' all together, because it has no bearing on the expression of their conservative ideology.

But I think there is opportunity for true black conservatives who express blackness and black culture through conservatism and apply it for the betterment of the race to make some head way.

We will see...but as long as Black Conservatives like Jesse Lee Peterson, Michael Massie, LaShawn Barber, Bob Parks among others are the leading voices of 'black'conservatives, those who truly could have a relevant conservative voice in our communities are getting drown out by those who never will.

NYU Suppresses Free Speech About Islam

By Dr. Yaron Brook
FrontPageMagazine.com March 31, 2006

Wednesday, in a shameful act, NYU broke its own official policy and denied free speech to its students.

After having approved the display of the Danish cartoons of the prophet Muhammad for a panel discussion on free speech hosted by a student group, NYU's administration reversed its decision in the face of Muslim protests.

A day before the panel discussion was to take place, NYU gave the student event organizers a non-negotiable ultimatum: if you display the cartoons we will close the event to non-NYU guests. This was in spite of the fact that NYU's own rules leave this decision to the student sponsoring organization.

And even though the students opted for not showing the cartoons, NYU barred entry to at least two journalists and more than 30 registered guests. Even after learning that Muslim students had sabotaged the event by acquiring and destroying two hundred tickets to leave as many seats empty, NYU officials still refused to allow non-NYU guests to enter.

In caving in to fear, in restricting and obstructing attendance, in forbidding the display of the Danish cartoons, NYU handed a victory to the Islamic totalitarians and their facilitators. In standing up to the destroyers of free speech, the NYU student sponsors of the free speech panel showed the courage that the NYU officials lack.

Is it me or does it seem that the only absolute rights in America are
Burning the American flag

Criticizing the government
Helping the enemy murder Americans
Illegal migration, from Mexico and the middle east

I dunno... I missed a few. Speech is not an absolute right as proven over and over, it is restricted and prosecuted. However America is the best western nation for freedom of speech.

Ooh its only ok to criticize religion, if its about Evangelicals.
and its ok to be racist if you are talking about whites.

Gibson first to announce for Macon mayoral bid

Gibson first to announce for Macon mayoral bid

By Travis Fain


Macon's 2007 mayoral race got an early start Friday morning as local Republican Arlan Gibson formally announced his intention to run.

Qualifying for the race won't begin until next year, but Gibson said he needed to get an early jump because he's a relative unknown in Macon politics.

"I'm kind of a dark horse - no pun intended," said Gibson, one of a few black Republicans to offer for local office. "I kind of have to get out of the gate early."

Gibson's announcement was short on details - he said he plans to release his comprehensive plan for the city soon - and focused on his broader ideas. He said he wants to fill "a deficit of good and moral leadership in the city."

He said his priorities are: a strong police force; working "side by side with the Board of Education" and parents to strengthen local schools; and a "resistance" to higher taxes and a pledge to lower them "if economically feasible."

Gibson is the first person to hold a news conference and announce for the mayor's office, though Macon City Council President Anita Ponder has long said she's planning a run for the office. Others have said they're considering a run, including former state Rep. Robert Reichert.

Gibson's announcement is "probably going to start a domino reaction" among other potential candidates, Reichert said.

Gibson lives in unincorporated Bibb County, but said he plans to move inside the city limits - a pre-requisite for holding office - "very shortly."

Though he is embracing his novelty as a black Republican, Gibson said he hopes people will judge him by his character.

"I'm tired of the great racial divide that polarizes this city," he said. "And what my leadership will do will bring us together."

Vicente Fox is a Fox




Vicente Fox: U.S. Will 'Beg' for Mexican Workers

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/3/30/103635.shtml?s=ic

Mexican President Vicente Fox is defending earlier comments where he insisted that the U.S. will soon be "begging" Mexico to send workers to alleviate a coming U.S. labor shortage.

"I dare say that in 10 years, the U.S. will be begging, will be pleading with Mexico to send it workers," said Fox, who meets with President Bush in Cancun today to discuss what he calls the "migration" problem.

In his March 3 remarks to the BBC, Fox warned that the U.S. had better take advantage of the Mexican labor pool while it has the chance, because when America starts begging for Mexican workers, "Mexico won't do it because it will have its people employed [here at home]."

In an interview Wednesday night, Fox said he stood by his comments...



BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's just invade them and be over with it after the spineless Congress issues a declaration of war.

Mr President stop lying there aren't any jobs that Americans won't do.

There are sur jobs that Americans are denied because they pay such paltry wages that Americans can't survive on them as a source of income. Do you even know what the unemployment rate for African-Americans without a high school education is?

Why would you want to import millions more illegal aliens without marketable skills, or any education?

You do realize that the whole idea of a generous welfare state-or even a decent social safety net-is predicated upon the assumption that there are enough well-paid wage-earneers paying enough in taxes to support such a system, don't you?

The truth be told Mexico could become a national power with their natural resourses, expansive land and warm climate. However, being a little more corrupt than Somalia, I don't think it's going to happen.

Fox is merely parroting what the lefitsts have been trying to sell us, namely that we Americans are too arrogant and lazy to do manual labor. I don't buy it, and neither does the rest of America.

Cheap Mexican labor is like heroin, and the leftists and Mexicican government are the pushers, trying to get us hooked on something that we don't need and something that has more dangers than benefits.

This crap makes me want to repeal the 13th Amendment

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NASA HQ Raided In Kiddie Porn Probe

Feds: "Skin tone filtering system" helped nab space agency executive
MARCH 31--The Washington headquarters of NASA was raided this week as part of a kiddie porn probe targeting an executive with the space agency, The Smoking Gun has learned.

On Wednesday morning, federal investigators seized a laptop computer, a hard drive, CDs, and other material from the office of James Robinson, who was present when agents with NASA's inspector general executed a search warrant at his E Street office. According to an affidavit filed in U.S. District Court, Robinson, 42, used his office computer (and another in his Virginia home) to trade and examine illegal image and videos. An excerpt from the affidavit, sworn by agent Paul Danley, can be found below.

Robinson, a program executive with NASA's In Space Propulsion, Mission and Systems Management Division, was snared last year in an online operation run by postal inspectors. In correspondence with a series of undercover agents, he described his preferences as, "probably priority right now would be boy-on-boy or boy-with-Man, and girl-on-girl. But really, anything is of interest." Robinson wrote that he was "Not a cop," and explained that he amassed his child porn collection via downloads "via Kazaa and usegroups." The affidavit also indicates that Robinson, who traded via a Yahoo! mail account using the alias "Jim Saron," trolled "alt.chxld.mxlexter.com." In December, after being contacted by postal agents, NASA's inspector general opened its own probe of Robinson, which included a review of reports from the space agency's "web activity monitoring application." The NASA system, dubbed Web ContExt, is apparently a state-of-the-art application that used a "skin tone filtering system" to determine that Robinson was viewing child porn from his office computer, most recently in January, according to the affidavit.

Rep. Cynthia McKinney to be Arrested?

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Capitol Hill police plan to issue an arrest warrant today for Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.).

The warrant is related to the incident Wednesday when McKinney allegedly slapped a Capitol Hill police officer.

Charges could range from assault on a police officer, which is a felony carrying a possible five year prison term, to simple assault, which is a misdeamenor.

McKinney has canceled a news conference that she had scheduled for this morning to discuss the incident.

McKinney issued a statement yesterday saying she "deeply regrets" the confrontation with the police officer.

The six-term congresswoman apparently struck a Capitol Police officer when he tried to stop her from entering a House office building without going through a metal detector. Members of Congress wear identifying lapel pins and routinely are waved into buildings without undergoing security checks. The officer apparently did not recognize McKinney, she said in a statement.

Asked on-camera Thursday by Channel 2 Action News whether she intended to apologize, McKinney refused to comment.

"I know that Capitol Hill Police are securing our safety, and I appreciate the work that they do. I have demonstrated my support for them in the past and I continue to support them now," she said in the statement on her Web site.

Democrats and Republicans, meanwhile, engaged in a rhetorical scuffle over the incident.

Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday labeled it "a mistake, an unfortunate lack of recognition of a member of Congress." She added that the police officer was not at fault.

"I would not make a big deal of this," said Pelosi, D-Calif.

Ron Bonjean, spokesman for House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., responded: "How many officers would have to be punched before it becomes a big deal?"

The dustup is the latest in a series of tangles for the roughly 1,200-officer Capitol Police department.

The department faces a difficult task -- protecting 535 members of Congress and the vast Capitol complex in an atmosphere thick with politics and privilege.

The safety of its members became a sensitive issue after a gunman in 1998 killed two officers outside the office of then-Republican Whip Tom DeLay of Texas.

More recently, police obeyed an order by an angry House Ways and Means Committee chairman, Rep. Bill Thomas, R-Calif., to remove Democrats from a hearing room. Thomas later tearfully apologized on the House floor.

This year, during President Bush's State of the Union address, police drew criticism for first kicking antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan out of the House gallery, and then for evicting the wife of Rep. Bill Young, R-Fla.

Merle Black, a professor of politics at Emory University, says that while the scuffle was rare for an elected politician, it's unlikely to cost McKinney more than a few votes. Black says McKinney is in damage control -- cutting her losses by not insisting on right or wrong.

The failure of Black Conservatives in Modern Society

by Greg Thrasher

The failure of the politics of conservative thought in the Black community has never been a surprise for me. I have always known that black people are very astute in rejecting backward ideas, underdeveloped thoughts and philosophies. The media fiction that the GOP and conservative principles are gaining a new foothold with Black folks is nonsense and is nothing more than the exaggerated press releases of GOP balloon blowers and black apologists seeking affirmation from conservative whites as they mine the lucrative cottage industry of black conservatism.

Conservatives, when they dressed themselves in black face, become even of a more losing proposition because this partnership only insults the audience the conservatives wish to recruit and indoctrinate.

It should, however, be pointed out that the failure of conservative politics in the Black community is not based entirely on the underdeveloped core themes and ideas of conservative politics nor on the legacy of its racists beliefs as marketed by white republicans. Some of the failure of conservative thinking in the ‘hood is a direct result of Black folks who have embraced conservatism as a panacea for the ills of black folks as manta from heaven .

Black conservatives are always their own worst victim in this parade. Black conservatives continue to display a patronizing and condensing posture
when they interact with those who are not card caring members of the GOP. In addition these Black operatives never seem to get passed touting the usual Black token darlings of the GOP.

It should be noted that the very ideals of some conservative principles have existed in the Black community long before whites even entered the soil of North America. Black conservatives who have embraced conservative politics fail miserably in the black community because they are viewed as
agents of a political philosophy that at it's core has contempt for black dignity and humanity.

Black conservatives simply cannot navigate around the ugly legacy of white racism so when black conservatives seek to uplift and elevate black masses with the failed themes of conservative politics, they look like minstrels and fools to the majority black electorate. The truth is, of course, liberal political ideology and conservative ideology both are on their last days in the black community as
neither has been effective in truly changing the life conditions of the majority of Black Americans.

Black cultural traditions and our very essence, as a people, have liberated us from the obstacles that life has brought us in America and not the partnership with whites marketing political dogma from either side of the aisle, right or left. The Black electorate has always been vulnerable to the prospects of a movement which values and respects the vast cultural and social capital the Black community has. Liberal conventions have at least offered some basic features which have
contributed to the well being of Black folks in this country. Of course none of us are enshrining white liberals as our saviors or liberators - we have done that ourselves and no doubt we will continue to be our own icons and legends.

Black people generally are not obsessed with politics nor do they view the political arena as being an integral aspect of their lives. Our greatest assets have always been outside the traditional mainstream orthodoxies. Black folks will embrace a political construct that has them at the core of it's paradigm. We are hungry for a new meal with a menu full of new recipes and ideas. Black conservatives would be best suited if they were the primal beginning of a new political movement,
one which is without the legacy of white supremacy nor the result of white architecture. The question is, where is the origin of this fertile spring? It is apparent that the stream of conservative dogma and propaganda has never truly flowed with our interests at heart....

Swann Holds Slight Lead in Pa. Gov. Race

Pro Football Hall of Famer Lynn Swann held a slight lead over Gov. Ed Rendell in a statewide poll released Thursday, but more than a third of registered voters indicated they hadn't settled on either candidate.

Thirty-five percent of those surveyed in the IssuesPA/Pew Poll said they were likely to vote for Swann, a retired Pittsburgh Steelers star and Republican campaigning to become the state's first black governor.

Twenty-nine percent said they would probably support Rendell, a Democrat and former Philadelphia mayor who is running for a second four-year term.
Among the rest, 34 percent were considered up for grabs and 2 percent didnt support either candidate. Neither Swann nor Rendell faces a primary challenge.

MOHAMMED AZAR TRIED TO KILL INFIDELS OUT OF LOVE FOR ALLAH

In a letter Mohammed Taheri Azar, (the 22 year old UNC student who tried to kill his fellow students by running them down with his rented SUV), wrote that he did not do what he did out of hate but out of love for Allah. read on:

"I live with the holy Koran as my constitution for right and wrong and definition of injustice.

I've read all 114 chapters about 20 times since June of 2003 when I started reading the Koran.
I did not act out of hatred for America but out of love for Allah instead. I live only to serve Allah by obeying all of his commandments of which I am aware by reading and learning the contents of the Koran.
I would be glad to have an on-camera interview."
Sincerely
Mohammed Taheri-azar


Now Allah, whom muslims love more than their family , says in Quran that non muslims are worst beasts (8.55), lowest creatures (98.6), lowest animals(8.22) evil(16.20) perverts(63.4) dirty(9.28) and then he orders to slay them whereever they find them (9.5), what is the big deal? Dont Muslims kill millions of animals ( which are not even evil pervert and dirty) to please Allah every year during Haj and on Id day ? So why every body is making a big fuss on a practising Muslim's religious right to carry out Allah's orders? Are muslims not free to practice their religion in this country?

LA agrees to pay $1.1 million to Notorious B.I.G. family




His family's lawsuit against the city and LAPD claimed a corrupt LAPD officer arranged to have Wallace killed at the behest of Death Row Records founder Marion Suge Knight, and officials covered up his involvement.
The city of Los Angeles has agreed to pay $1.1 million (euro920,000) in legal costs to the family of slain rapper Notorious B.I.G. because of police errors during a wrongful death case brought against the city and its police department.

Christopher Wallace, or Notorious B.I.G., was shot and killed March 9, 1997, after a party at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. The murder has not been solved.

His family's lawsuit against the city and LAPD claimed a corrupt LAPD officer arranged to have Wallace killed at the behest of Death Row Records founder Marion Suge Knight, and that LAPD officials covered up the officer's involvement. Knight has denied involvement.

U.S. District Judge Florence-Marie Cooper had sanctioned the city after learning that a police detective withheld documents that were pertinent to claims made by the rapper's family. She declared a mistrial in July. A retrial of the wrongful death case is expected later this year.

The payment represents the cost of legal fees and other expenses incurred by the family's attorneys. City lawyers told the council an appeal was unlikely to overturn the judge's ruling. The council approved the payment Wednesday.

"It's unfortunate, but we don't have any choice,'' Councilman Dennis Zine said after the 11-0 vote. "We had a case here where an experienced detective made a mistake and the city and its taxpayers have to pay for it.''

Quote Of The Day...

Quote Of The Day

"Though they work for slave wages, illegal immigrants' humanity is not at issue. Instead, the issue is whether they entered the U.S. with the proper documentation. Period. It drives me loco to hear illegal immigrants say they haven’t done anything wrong; they just want to work. They’re here illegally. Again, what part of illegal immigrant don’t they understand...?

While low-skilled undocumented workers, arguably, are 'contributing to the economic vitality of our country,' the high cost of their cheap labor is being paid by American taxpayers. Once they sneak across the border, American citizens pay for the delivery and education of anchor babies, hospital emergency rooms visits, and other government services. So, I support building a 700-mile security fence along the southern border. As I’ve written before, good fences make good neighbors. " — Faye Anderson, liberal blogger

Busta Rhymes' gay fan attack



LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - Busta Rhymes has lashed out at a gay fan who tapped him on the shoulder.

The incident happened as the rapper-turned-actor was leaving the 11th Street Diner in Miami's trendy South Beach district in the early hours of Sunday (26.03.06).

Eyewitness Thomas Barker told America's New York Post newspaper: "The restaurant was packed with transvestites, gay men and drag queens, which obviously made him a little edgy.

"When a young gay guy came up behind Busta and tapped him on the shoulder to congratulate the rapper on his recent comeback.

He added: "Before the guy could even mutter a word, Busta turned around and repeatedly screamed, 'Why the f**k you touchin' me, man? Get the f**k away from me'.

It's claimed the 'Break Ya Neck' rapper then whispered to one of his bodyguards: "I hate f*****g faggots, man'."

Rhymes is believed to still be upset by the murder of one of his minders, and long-term friend, Israel Ramirez, in February.

The father-of-three was fatally shot in the chest outside a Brooklyn warehouse, in New York, where the rapper had been filming a music video with fellow hip-hop legend Missy Elliot and G-Unit members Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks.

Hip Hop gets a pass for its hostility to gay people,
if this were a country singer the left would
be talking about rednecks.

The truth is Busta like so many other
artist will get an easy pass!
Hate and bigotry can not possibly come
from the left.

Yeahhhhh!

Mid Term Elections Prediction



I'm gonna go out on a limb here and predict that the demos will atleast take one house.

The party has been raising record funds

The majority of their candidates are war veterans, mostly the first Iraq war and a sizeable portion are from the current war.

I believe if the party can stop bitching and moaning about bush and put together a contract with america similar to what the republicans did they will take back the house.

Dems Applaud Soc Sec Failure

The Demos actually stood and applauded when Bush stated that Congress had failed to fix Social Security. Sick. I guess we know who's side these degenerates are on.

Nice to know i'm going to be busting my ass in the future to try to support a broken social security system. thanks dems, that was a real class act.

Swann Song



by Justin Sykes

Does the former football star stand a chance at ousting Rendell?


Pennsylvanias 2006 gubernatorial race is shaping up to be a contest of larger than life personas from different sides of the state. Ed Rendell the gregarious incumbent Democrat, will be sweating to retain his post against charismatic Republican Lynn Swann, a candidate more recognized as an athlete than as a politician.

The difference between the candidates could not be more apparent Rendell has been a key player in politics much of his life serving as Philadelphias district attorney and mayor the Democratic National Committee chairman, and now as governor of the state of Pennsylvania.

Swann is a novice in the political arena. He hails from Pittsburgh, where he once won three SuperBowls with the Steelers. After his hall-of-fame-worthy career, Swann became a commentator, analyzing college and professional football from the sidelines.

Though not often associated with politics, Swann does have some experience. In 2004, he served as the co-chair of the African-Americans for Bush steering committee. Prior to that, he was chairman of the Presidents Council on Physical Fitness, a post once held by another celebrity-turned-politician, Arnold Schwarzenegger. A late January poll showed the race between Swann and Rendell to be a statistical dead heat. Similar polls in addition to the alignment of the state Republican Party machinery behind Swann convinced other Republicans in the race, including former Lt. Governor Bill Scranton and State Senator Jeffrey Piccola, to drop out.

A more recent poll released mid-February paints a different picture. In the survey by Quinnipiac University, Swann trails Rendell by twelve points. Polling institute assistant director Clay Richards attributes this discrepancy to low support for Swann among Republicans and Independents.

Rank and file Republicans appear more reluctant than their leaders to back Swann,
Richards said.

Twenty-two percent are voting for Rendell at this point. And only about a quarter of all Pennsylvania voters say Swann has the right kind of experience to be governor. For Swann to overcome this deficit, he will need to instill confidence in Pennsylvanians that he is more than just a 1970s football standout. An appearance on ABCs This Week raised questions about Swann’s political acumen and many pundits predict that despite his experience as a sideline reporter Swann will be gobbled up by Rendell in the inevitable gubernatorial debates. Nevertheless, Michael Shiely, chairman of the Penn College Republicans, believes that Swann will bring new ideas and wash out the corruption and partisan bicker that has plagued Harrisburg for the last three years. Said Shiely Ever since the legislative pay increase was signed into law by Ed Rendell, an anti-incumbent environment has blanketed Pennsylvania.

While Nathan Hake, president of the Penn College Democrats, declined to comment, he did say that the Penn Dems fully support Governor Rendell and are confident that Rendell will be reelected.

To win, Swann must tap voter skepticism of Rendell, whose approval ratings have hovered at or slightly below fifty percent. Victorious non-politicians like Jesse Ventura and Arnold Schwarzenegger have had the most success when dissatisfaction with incumbents is high.

Swann is currently hammering away at high property taxes and low economic growth in the state under Rendell. According to Swann, citing a study by the libertarian-leaning Cato Institute, The reality is that this governor has failed us when it comes to creating jobs. That is why he received a grade of F for job creation by a non-partisan group, and …the F doesn’t stand for fine.

Rendell’s plan for lowering property taxes calls for raising the state stales tax to 6.5 percent in addition to collecting revenues from state-run slot machines. Swann has not yet announced the specifics of his proposal. If elected, Swann would become Pennsylvanias first African-American governor and the highest ranking black Republican nationwide. He is part of a wave of black Republicans including Michael Steele, who is running for U.S. Senate in Maryland, and Ken Blackwell, who is running for Ohio governor, seeking office as Republicans in 2006. In 2004, George W. Bush won barely 11 percent of the black vote. Penn will likely play a pivotal role in the November election, especially if turnout is as high as it was in 2004. In the past presidential election, turnout on campus increased 280 percent over 2000.

Christina Catanese, a College sophomore, is torn by her allegiance to Pittsburgh Steelers and the Democratic Party. Said Catanese, I do not consider it responsible as a voter to blindly vote along party lines. She admits that she would consider voting for Swann, but would not vote for him solely for the reason that he is a former Steeler.

If I find that his candidacy is legitimate and that his platforms and plans strike a balance with my personal views for the state of Pennsylvania I would ponder giving him my vote.

Impeach Bush Stupidity!



If the Dems were to get a majority in Congress during the mid-term elections, and pursued impeaching George W. Bush, they would be stopped in their tracks. This is because Dick Cheney would then become president. Personally, I wouldn't mind it if the VP became president, but I also think that above all things, Democrats DO NOT want Dick Cheney to become president. Therefore, any talk of impeachment is crazy and has no value what-so-ever.

That is unless the democrats declare Cheney a fellow "conspirator." If they are "cohorts" than it is safe to say they would both go to the "slammer, " but the entire notion is a stark example of a nonstory, politically promulgated nonsense from the left.

Human Remains Found Near 9/11 Trade Center

NEW YORK - Construction workers cleaning toxic waste from a vacant skyscraper near the World Trade Center site have found more bone fragments and human remains, officials said Tuesday.

The city medical examiner's office plans to extract DNA from the latest remains to be recovered from the former Deutsche Bank building and try to match it against a database of the 2,749 people killed at the trade center on Sept. 11, 2001, said Ellen Borakove, spokeswoman for the city medical examiner's office.

Fire Department crews had inspected the building in the months following the attacks, but construction workers clearing gravel off the rooftop found 10 bone fragments there last fall
.


This story should strike a chord in us all. It still makes 9/11 seem like it happened yesterday and reminds us of what we are fighting for.

Enough is Enough..Listen up Mexico!

Enough!

1. It is NOT racist to call these people "illegal aliens" In fact, "illegal aliens" is the only term used in federal laws and regulations to describe criminals (and they ARE criminals) who come into our country illegally. They are not illegal immigrants, not undocumented immigrants, not migrant workers, and not day laborers - they're ILLEGAL ALIENS.

2. Mexico is NOT a poor country. It has the fifth richest economy in the world, and by sending its teeming masses to our country, that status keeps on rising. Mexico has more resources per square mile than the U.S. and plenty of money to take care of its own people. Why should the taxpayers of this country subsidize Mexico's corruption?

3. Illegal aliens are NOT necessarily coming here to work. CNN recently reported that 33 percent of our prison population is now comprised of non-citizens. Plus, 36 to 42 percent of illegal aliens are on welfare. So, for a good proportion of these people, the American dream is crime and welfare, not coming here to work.

4. Illegal aliens are NOT doing work Americans won't do. What jobs won't Americans do? In most states, Americans still clean their own houses, do their own landscaping, clean hotel rooms, work in restaurants and fast food places, paint houses, DO CONSTRUCTION WORK, work in airports, etc. - just like we have the past 200 years before "our" government allowed these people to invade our country. There are 18 million Americans who cannot find a job, so illegal aliens who are coming here to work do so at peril to American workers.

5.Illegal aliens absolutely do not contribute more than they cost. Certainly the millions in prison and on welfare aren't contributing a dime to our economy, and the ones who are working often are paid in cash with no deductions for taxes at all. The ones who use fraudulent social security numbers and qualify to pay taxes and social security have so many deductions for dependents that they pay little if any taxes. We have seen them pay less than $100 in taxes and get back $4, 000 refunds (thanks to earned income tax credits and multiple dependents). The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that the average Mexican illegal alien costs U.S. taxpayers a whopping $55, 000 each. Some bargain, eh?

6. The economy does NOT depend on illegal aliens. Sure, greedy CEOs (making $50 to $150 MILLION a year) and business owners depend on illegal aliens, but due to ..3, ..4 and ..5 above, the only thing illegal aliens are contributing to is the collapse of our economy and making the rich richer.

7. Without illegal aliens, the price of agricultural products and other goods and services will NOT soar. The definitive study on this subject is the University of Iowa's "How Much Is That Tomato?" The study concludes that 'since labor is such a small component of the end-price of agricultural products (which includes price to the growers, transportation costs, processing /storage costs, grocers' profit, etc.), using minimum wage workers instead of illegal aliens would increase prices of agricultural products by approximately 3 percent in the summer and 4 percent in the winter ... hardly the making of $10 heads of lettuce, $25 hamburgers, $1, 000 per night Days Inn hotel rooms like the pro-illegal alien lobby claims.

8. Consumers are NOT benefiting from lower labor costs. Again, it's CEOs and business owners who benefit from taxpayer subsidies for their illegal alien workers. The Big Three automakers say they moved so many jobs to Mexico because their labor costs are 80 percent less than in America. Anybody notice the price of new cars spiraling downward under NAFTA?

So, before you believe the prevalent pack of lies perpetuated by the illegal alien lobby, which makes billions off this government-sanctioned criminal activity, ask yourself who's saying this garbage and look at what they have to gain.

WE NEED TO MAKE OUR PRESENCE KNOWN!!!

Madeleine Albright Attaks Bush's Foreign Policy



Former Secretary of State "MadAndnotSoBrights" attack on
Bush is silly leftist rehtoric!

Here are some statements she made recently in the LA times Paper

Not So Bright wrote:

The first is to understand that although we all want to "end tyranny in this world," that is a fantasy unless we begin to solve hard problems. Iraq is increasingly a gang war that can be solved in one of two ways: by one side imposing its will or by all the legitimate players having a piece of the power. The U.S. is no longer able to control events in Iraq, but it can be useful as a referee. Albright wants us to step back and watch them all kill each other. WTF does it mean to be a "referee".


Not So Bright wrote:

Second, the Bush administration should disavow any plan for regime change in Iran — not because the regime should not be changed but because U.S. endorsement of that goal only makes it less likely. In today's warped political environment, nothing strengthens a radical government more than Washington's overt antagonism. It also is common sense to presume that Iran will be less willing to cooperate in Iraq and to compromise on nuclear issues if it is being threatened with destruction. As for Iran's choleric and anti-Semitic new president, he will be swallowed up by internal rivals if he is not unwittingly propped up by external foes.

Same tired argument from the moronic left. The same rhetoric was barfed during the cold war. Y'all we wrong then and you're wrong now. Diplomacy should always be a mixture of carrots and sticks. Her former boss certainly tabled and used of force in his feckless negotiaties with N. Korea, Iraq, and the Balkins.

Third, the administration must stop playing solitaire while Middle East and Persian Gulf leaders play poker.


I'd rather play chess than the luck of the draw card game. More empty rhetoric from an empty talking head.



Quotes from Secretary Not So Bright!

"No one has done what Saddam Hussein has done, or is thinking of doing. He is producing weapons of mass destruction, and he is qualitatively and quantitatively different from other dictators."

Illegals hijack American Flag

Oh fuck that shit. I think those fucking assholes need to find out what cruise missiles up the wazoo feel like.

Where is Micheal Savage when you need him?





The Stars and Stripes have been replaced by the Mexican flag at Chasewood North, and residents of the condominium community off Central Boulevard are puzzled as to who made the switch.

"I woke up Sunday morning and looked up from my patio and then realized that the American flag wasn't on the flagpole," said Sue Miller a Chasewood North board member. "What captured my attention were the colors — at first I thought it was an Italian flag, but one of our residents said it was the Mexican flag.

"I went to the flagpole, to see if the American flag was maybe on the ground, but they took it, and they cut the rope to get the American flag down and the Mexican flag up as well."
A best estimate of when the switch took place is Saturday night. Chasewood South, which also has a flagpole at its entrance was untouched; its American flag was still flying from its 20-foot flagpole.

At the present time, Congress is in the midst of a debate about immigration, seeking to radically change the immigration laws, perhaps by allowing the approximately 11 million illegal immigrants in the country to have a path to citizenship. But Miller said she can't figure out why this national debate would result in the American flag being stolen and replaced by a Mexican flag in Chasewood North.

"I'm flabbergasted that someone would do this, and I'm wondering why here," Miller said. "We have some Hispanic residents here, but not a large Hispanic population, and I'm curious if this occurred anywhere else in town."

It may be several weeks before the Stars and Stripes once again fly over Chasewood North, according to Miller, who at one time was the resident manager of the complex.
"We tried to get the flag down but couldn't, so we need to hire a company with a boom truck to get up there and replace the rope and put up the American flag," she said. "I would guesstimate that this would cost $500 or more to do."

White supremacist sues to run as Democrat in primary

A man who wants to run for Congress has gone to court demanding he be allowed to run as a Democrat in the Seventh Congressional District. Aurora resident Frazier Glenn Miller had filed as a candidate on March 6th, but the Democrat Party refused to accept his filing fee because of Miller's racial views. Republicans and Libertarians also have refused to let him be on their primary ballots. Party officials say they don't want him on their ballots because of his so-called "pro-white" racial views.
