Barack “ET” Obama

Unemployment drops to 9.4%.....can hear the GOP spin now....”See...we told you tax cuts for the rich and famous would make for more jobs!” Nevermind that it's been steadily improving since Obama took over when he unleashed the GOP crafted stimulous. Wonder if the new majority will suddenly start taking credit for “their “stimulus” and “their” health care bill...anyone who keeps up with the goings on on Capital Hill knows that most of what is in the Health Care Bill originated with the Republicans...They were all for it, until the Black guy decided to get it passed into law..

Ted “I'm straight with issues” Haggard is getting his own “reality show,” on TLC. I'll be TIVOing that right after I set the timer to catch Sarah Palin's Alaska and The Jersey Shore or whatever it's called....You know, the one that stars the fake Italian with the totally fake skin color named Snooki. Based on her sprayed on palor, I'd call her baby Boehner.

Speaking of Big Bad John, can't seem to distinguish between the United States Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Thought all those teabag/GOP folks had both comitted to memory...

And as for the Bullshit symbolism of reading the Constitution....if it's so perfect....why didn't they read the parts about black people being only worth 3/5ths of a white man?

Today, congress is taking up repeal of the 14th amendment....you know the one that grants citizenship to anybody born in America...Anyone ask "anchor babies" Alberto Gonzales, Michelle Malkin or Bobby Jindal about the proposed repeal?

Major bigot Steve King is hyperventilating overtime to try and get President Obama's citizenship revoked. Doesn't like the Black man and really doesn't like the fact that his middle name is Hussein...Well, oh my, Steve ARNOLD King......any relation to the guy named Benedict Arnold? Is he hiding in your ancestral closet? I guess you'd be all right with that considering that despite being a traitor to America he was an all white American traitor right? Okay to be named after him, huh..

While we're on the subject of citizenship and the Constitution.....Birthers need to get a grip...They keep arguing Obama was born in Africa.....SO WHAT!.....His very lilly white Momma was born in Kansas...she could have given birth on the moon and made his name Barack ET Obama to commemorate the event...and he would still be an American citizen...Daddy was taken out of the equation back around the 1620's.

The bigots are choking on a system they created...It spawns from the “one drop rule.” In other words, back in the day...if you had one drop of black blood in you, then you were considered black regardless of the brightness of your skin tone...heritage was changed to be charted through the mother....not the father...to keep all those magnificent plantations from legally falling into the hands of their secret, dusky off spring....Now that one of the dusky relations has made it to the White House...the Birthers want to change the game yet gain...White people created the system...Black people survived it....Now it's coming back to haunt you...

Another result of this “system” is that Black Americans have more white blood in them than African, and sometimes many whites in general...the term African American should be put to rest....It was useful at one time, back in the days of "I'm black and I'm proud." But we are Americans, period. The term implies that we emigrated to this country instead of being born here or brought here in chains.

We were considered chattel and bred like cattle...bought and sold to enrich whites...you can't run away from that no matter how many times you excise the word “nigger” from your history or literature books.

Wonder how Arizona Gov Jan is sleeping these days....I know there is a special place in hell for people like her...

Random Thoughts....

Ground Zero Mosque.....no such thing....the planned community center has a space reserved for prayer...that doesn't make it a mosque...any more than having a cross with Jesus on it nailed to your living room wall makes your house a church....

No one is asking that NY forget what happened at the World Trade Center....but it is time to move on...because others died and  were lost in other places in America...

Being Christian or being Jewish...does not make you more American...than say an Islamic American or Buddhist American...or even a Scientology American....

The Constitution was written by men who believed in a higher power, but were not necessarily Christian...by today's definition...many of them in fact would be considered atheists...

They were okay with diversity.....

What you call that higher power is up to you....not mandated by the government...or the so called majority that is no more...

DISCONNECT...the word that is dominating my thoughts right now....the need to unplug....take a break....turn off....pay no attention to the man pulling the strings behind the curtain....

There is too much information.....too much misinformation....too many lies....purposeful, deceitful lies...meant only to inflame the unthinking masses.....needlessly....making people crazy.....

The 24 hour news cycle is a sham.....it's not news....it's not even good gossip in most instances...it's fill....fluff....puffed up to seem like it's important and worthy of attention...

Fluffers...otherwise called news anchors....breathlessly delivering snippets of nothing....”details as they become available” ….never heard again...because it was not really news that's fit to print or broadcast...or repeat....in the first place

The MSM is neither....conservative nor liberal....But it is bought...paid for....owned and squeezed for profit by Corporate America...

The bottom-line rules!

Walking on water......not yet....But Obama's track record in less than two years in office is beyond belief.....Combat troops are now out of Iraq....never should a been there...probably headed to Afghanistan....shouldn't be there either...

Palestine and Israel coming back to the table to talk peace...

I don't care what religion Obama espouses.....He is acting like a man of conscience, compassion and intelligence...that's all I want in a leader...

Will the so called Christians cut him some slack....probably not...remember they're the ones who are still peddling the picture of  a  light skinned, blue eyed, long haired Jesus, when the King James Bible  describes him otherwise...

Black GOP finally speaking up about the Alaskan Snow-billy...worried about her support of Dr. Laura....telling Laura to “reload”.....And the group asked Michael Steele to talk some sense into her about her diarrhea of the mouth...HAH!

Hope she chokes on it.....

10th Amendment, Change, and Article 6

Man, it's absolutely amazing what can happen when a Black family moves into the previously all white neighborhood, or in this case, the White House. Take one individual, who's only difference from the rest of the individuals who lived in the house before is skin hue and watch the other paler hued individuals start freaking out and doing stupid stuff, like putting their houses up for sale, moving farther away from the dangerous urban center, or lose sleep attempting to figure out how to legally evict the black guy without burning down his very valuable house.

Lot's of scared individuals have joined the Tea Party factions, placing their hopes in seemingly like minded Congressional representatives who talk a good game, but are really just out to screw everybody while keeping a firm grasp on their cash cows. Regardless of what side of the aisle they sit on, the game is DC is always and only about the money, so let's not kid ourselves. Here. The conservatives on the Hill are about being obstructionists, nothing less. They want to keep the status quo intact, because they can make more money that way.

Conservatives at the state level, are just as scared as the guys on the federal level, however they are acting out in other ways. These State representatives are about protecting against what they perceive as the federal power grab. In other words, they have convinced themselves that Obama is going to take away their guns and their rights to act independently from the federal government.

They are in fear of living their final days on earth under a Socialist regime, whatever that is. They have convinced themselves that Obama is first, not a citizen and second, in violation of the United States Constitution, specifically, the Tenth Amendment in the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights was ratified in December of 1791. To paraphrase the 10th, it says, “powers not granted to the national government nor prohibited to the states by the constitution are reserved for the states and/or the people.”

Some of the stuff going on at state level are laws being passed, just in the past couple of weeks, in fact, are laws in South Dakota, signed last Friday, stating that federal regulation of firearms is not valid, if the gun is made and used in South Dakota. Wyoming has also jumped on this bandwagon with a similar law. South Dakota's Gov is GOP, Wyoming's Gov is a Democrat.

Oklahoma has approved a resolution saying its citizens should be able to vote on whether or not they, as a state, can opt out of Health Care Reform.

As usual, Utah went completely crazy, mandating that Health Care Reform cannot take affect without the permission of the state legislature. Another mandate gives the state authority to confiscate federal land using Eminent Domain statutes. This nut-so bunch even put into their state constitution that Utah has “inviolable sovereignty” under the Tenth Amendment of the US Constitution.

Tennessee, Washington and Alabama are even going so far as to try and write into their state constitutions that their police forces have jurisdiction and precedence over federal troops, like the army navy and marines. Hmmmmmmmm....

Now the problem with all these new laws and resolutions is the same problem that all these interpreters of the Constitution have. It is the same problem suffered by fake pseudo Christians who take every opportunity to quote the Bible to all others. Maybe the problem exists because these types of conservatives usually inhabit both groups.

The problem.....they take everything out of context and fail to read the whole document while attempting to back up their sometimes silly arguments.

Yes, the 10th Amendment does talk about states rights....But so does Article 6.

Article 6 simply says, and I'm paraphrasing again, “federal law is supreme and if there is a problem or conflict between state law and federal law, federal law prevails, “ period. And, Article 6 has been fire tested over and over in the Courts from the signing of the founding document, that these neocons say they are upholding and following to the letter.

Segregationists...the conservatives of their day tried it again and again, most recently in the 1950s and 1960s as a means of combating the civil rights of Black people, as well as in the 80s and 90s against the LGBT community. The neocons of today always respond by saying it's the Courts who get it wrong on interpretation...that's not what the founding fathers meant..

If the conservatives don't like the outcome, they blame others for the wrong interpretation. Case in point, last week, Texas Neocons on the School Board took Thomas Jefferson out of their social studies textbooks....His transgression....coining the theory of separation of church and state...

Neocons claim that separation of church and state is not and never has been implied in the Constitution...the government's wrong, and the courts are wrong for upholding it.

Another example of everyone else but Neocons getting it wrong....all the media polls stating that most people are against health care reform, when in actuality about 96% of the country favors change. The polls, just like in the 2008 election continue to ask only a very small group of the former majority their opinions, while not tapping into the new majority for their opinions.

The MSM was surprised and still fails to recognize that Obama won in a landslide vote, and that while there are issues, mainly everyone is basically okay with what he is trying to do....with the exception of the scared folks, of course..

Health Care reform, while very contentious in discussion, will probably win the same way. This is being born out by the fizzled Tea Bagger rally yesterday in DC, where 100s turned out when thousands were expected..

Once again, the real majority is revealing itself......again.

It remains to be seen when the MSM will wake up and start talking to the real majority...maybe they will have to start putting new majority representatives back into their own organizations and taking the blinders off to what's really happening in America.
