No Spin Zone

I has a discussion with a dear friend regarding what I thought was President Obama's ill advised comments about the Kanye West debacle. During an off the record moment while preparing for an interview Obama referred to Kanya as a "jackass". My assertion was that out of all the things going on in the world why would the President of the United States even comment on such pop culture none sense? I felt that it was certainly out of his "context" to comment on such a matter. I do not think he should have commented at all. My friends opinion was that it wasn't that big of a deal and that it was only an issue because it was leaked on Twitter by ABC news who was conducting the interview.

Well, it feels great to be validated. When asked by ABC's George Stephanopoulos about the recent ACORN scandal. Obama responded with "It's not the most important issue in the country, Its not something I am paying that much attention to". Wouldn't that have been a more appropriate response when he asked about The Kanye West controversy? Just a thought?

The Obama campaign reportedly gave ACORN $800,000 and the group broke nearly every law in the book to get him elected. There were reports of homeless people and derelicts being registered to vote and driven to the polls. Some ACORN operatives were caught registering names of former NFL players. Thankfully the house and senate have voted overwhelmingly to cut off federal funds to ACORN. Its quite obvious that given Obama's cozy relationship with the community organized crime syndicate, he doesn't want to toss them in front of the train just yet. After all he's got re-election to think about.

The Legend Of The Unarmed White Man (Revised)

Image
The August 2014 shooting death of unarmed black teen Mike Brown in St. Louis by a white police officer and the subsequent decision by the grand jury not to indict has brought unrest to American Streets. The protestors feel that police are shooting and killing mostly unarmed black men at alarming rates. Many also believe that police interaction amongst white's is all together different due to the benefits of "white privilege". "If that had of been a white man..." is a common refrain from blacks when speaking of a negative experience with a white police officer. The media plays an integral role in these perceptions by continuously assaulting us with images of black victims and white perpetrators. In light of the Brown incident and other controversial shootings this year, the adjective attached to these perceived victims is "unarmed". The term is a staple in the lexicon of the American media which has painted a false sense of reality for millions of Ame

BP Crisis Brings Out Radical Left

Image
Once again the left, with the help of Jesse Jackson shows its ignorance of and hatred for capitalism. The BP crisis which began with the explosion of an offshore oil rig which resulted in a fire that killed 19 people. The pipe located one mile undersea began to spew oil into the gulf and has for over fifty days now. The Reverend has been for weeks calling for a boycott of BP. Now comes word that several BP stations have been vandalized. The fact that such vitriol and anger results from what was clearly a tragic accident is surely tragic in itself. Someone should explain to the reverend that oil companies exited the gas station business years ago. The stations are by and large owned by franchisees and independent operators who squeeze out razor thin margins on gasoline-hence the reason for the lottery tickets, potato chips and soft drinks that has become a staple of these often family owned businesses. To make matters worse, the Rev. Jackson stated that "the mom and pop stations a

Uncovering A Gigantic Royal Scam

Image
The old saying "Too many chiefs and not enough Indians" is by modern standards politically incorrect. However there is a new phenomena that is could take its place. There seems to be too many Kings and Queens and not enough subjects. Peruse Facebook and one will see untold references to "Black Kings" and "Black Queens" which is intended to foster self esteem in the black community. What is wrong with this one may ask? It is built on a ridiculous premise, historical ignorance and grotesque revisionism. For starters, every culture at one time or another has been ruled by monarchs. So by this logic every Anglo British citizen is a King or a Queen since they still have a symbolic monarchy today. Kings and Queens are mere titles-not character traits. Monarchs were selected by either bloodline or bloody conquest. Some of the most dastardly rulers in history were Kings. King John, Herod, Leopold, Caligula are just a few-African rulers were hardly an exception. I
