SCOTUS Guts Voting Rights Act, Left Unhinged


In a decision that will surely rock the political landscape  the Supreme Court has struck down a key section of the 1965 voting rights act, the provision of the landmark civil rights law that designates which parts of the country must have changes to their voting laws cleared by the federal government.

In a 5-4 ruling split along ideological lines, the court has ruled that 'things have changed dramatically' in the South since the Act was passed 50 years ago and Federal supervision is no longer needed. Predictably this decision has caused great consternation on the left “Today will be remembered as a step backwards in the march towards equal rights,” said Sherrilyn Ifill, President and Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. “We must ensure that this day is just a page in our nation’s history, rather than the return to a dark chapter." Such hyperbolic laments are all to common amongst the alarmist on the black left.  They are convinced, save for I phones and Barack Obama's Presidency, that 1965 and 2013 are indistinguishable. If one were to listen to MSNBC regularly, it would appear that  George Wallace still occupies the Governors Mansion.

The civil rights establishment has successfully kept blacks locked into a perpetual state of grievance which in many ways is greater than that of our parents and grandparents who actually lived through the Jim Crow era. This ruling will surely be used as propaganda to further the agenda of the those who benefit from the disillusionment and anger of the black community. The hotly contested voter ID issue has been used by Al Sharpton and the Congressional Black Caucus to galvanize their overwhelmingly left wing base. As the 2014 mid-term elections approach, we most certainly will see the usual inflammatory racially charged language used to incite Democratic voters. In addition, the straw man voter suppression' issue will no doubt be the #1 tactic used from the left wing bag of tricks.

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
