Dueling Tea Party Factions?
In a previous post, I mentioned that I thought the far right was well organized with message control. I’m going to have to back away from that statement and qualify it by saying that “some” of them are. Based on what I’m reading, it appears that there are several factions of the Tea Party with … Continue reading
Tea Party’s Mark Williams defends "NAACP’s Letter to Lincoln"
There’s been a relentless attempt to goad African-Americans into an angry response on a number of fronts and the Tea Party’s Mark Williams’ satirical letter to Lincoln from the NAACP is the latest installment in this effort. This bait that is being hung out there by far right wing should be ignored, but unfortunately the … Continue reading
Rush Limbaugh calls George Steinbrenner a cracker who made a lot of African-Americans rich.
If anyone doubts that Rush Limbaugh isn’t after ratings, please take a listen to this below. This is not worthy of a lengthy post here by me except to note that much of what Limbaugh, Beck and people like them have to say is about garnering ratings. Unlike Beck, Limbaugh’s ratings are up so this … Continue reading
Ron Paul: Our foreign policy costs $1 trillion a year and Iran Sanctions are an act of war
I became familiar with Ron Paul several years ago from his anti-war writings during the early portion of the Iraq war. Those writings resonated with me as I saw them making a lot of sense in a time where the war drums were beating incessantly. At that time, talking against the war was a lonely … Continue reading
US Must Address Debt, Warns Debt Commission
President Obama’s bi-partisan debt commission gave a preliminary read out of the nation’s fiscal situation today. There was nothing earth shattering about the conclusion. The prognosis from co-chair Erskine Bowles is that current trends will destroy the country from within. I think Bowles is actually a bit off on that one as the holders of … Continue reading
Voter Intimidation and The New Black Panther Party
During the 2008 presidential contest, the campaigns of the various aspirants kept a very close eye on their each others public statements and activities with a eye towards capitalizing on any misstep. Sometimes even if there wasn’t an actual misstep, that wouldn’t stop one from being “created”. The talking points developed around an opponent had … Continue reading
California NAACP supports ballot for pot legalization
The California NAACP is taking some heat for backing the ballot proposition for marijuana legalization in California. It appears that billionaire investor George Soros is the hand behind the scene here. Not only is he a well known supporter of marijuana legalization, but according to the NAACP’s critics, he appears to have made a financial … Continue reading
Pat Buchanan: This campaign to censure and remove Steele is designed to censor debate and stifle dissent on Obama’s war policy, as long as Obama’s war policy closely tracks the agenda of the War Party.
The moon must be blue as I find myself in agreement with Pat Buchanan twice within the same week. I’ll spare the reader what I think of Buchanan as I’ve stated in previous posts my issues with him. I do find myself in agreement with Buchanan on a few issues and find that he occasionally … Continue reading
Study: Pot prices would plummet if California legalizes
I thought this was an interesting article in light of a recent post I made here regarding US bank involvement in money laundering. A couple of issues are apparent here. First, California, the ninth largest economy in the world, is on the brink of financial collapse and is casting around for any for almost anything … Continue reading
“If we remain poor and dependent, the riches of other men will not avail us. If we are ignorant, the intelligence of other men will do but little for us. If we are foolish, the wisdom of other men will not guide us. If we are wasteful of time and money, the economy of other men will only make our destitution the more disgraceful and hurtful. “
Frederick Douglass
“If you form the habit of going by what you hear others say about someone, or going by what others think about someone, instead of searching that thing out for yourself and seeing for yourself, you will be walking west when you think you’re going east, and you will be walking east when you think you’re going west. This generation, especially of our people, has a burden, more so than any other time in history. The most important thing we can learn to do today is think for ourselves.”
