Text of the page (random words):
pect from now until 2 november 2010 to see the usual suspects come out to promote the dishonest tyranny of the liberals you will find the congressional black caucus jesse jackson and al sharpton out to ensure blacks remain wedded to the failing liberal social welfare policies all the time shouting how the democrats know what is best i find it comical that al sharpton has already leapt forward to head up a new left wing grassroots group to counter the tea party called one nation does one nation believe in higher taxes and bigger government will this counter group promote individual rights and freedoms liberty and adherence to our us constitution i presume this group will seek to intimidate and put forth the ideals of collectivism combined with victimhood and expansion of the nanny state i find the tea party to which i have spoken to several times stands for fundamental principles and values consistent with that which has made america an exceptional constitutional republic therefore under the leadership of al sharpton this counter group one nation obviously stands for principles which are antithetical to our republic in closing i am sure you are asking why did the ole colonel have the last sentence in the pledge of allegiance in the title for this piece simple liberal racism does not believe in one nation under god they believe in a nation of subjects organized into collective groups under which they shall rule not govern in a secular humanist based society indivisible liberal racism does not believe in e pluribus unim they prefer a balkanized america where they can pit us against each other through their manipulated messages such as tea party racism liberal racism does not believe in liberty and justice for all they believe in freedom defined by a ruling class elite while creating more victims who become dependent upon their dishonest benevolence justice in the world of liberal racism means social and economic justice rooted in a principle of leveling which founding father samuel adams spoke against al sharpton defined justice as everyone having the same in every home in america government engineering of results and outcomes the mid term elections of 2 november 2010 comes down to one nation under god indivisible with liberty and justice for all or the concept of one nation under the proprietor of victimization al sharpton a simpleton crony of liberal racism which shall you choose steadfast and loyal ltc r allen b west 11 comments from attacks from the left current events topics dnc democrats media media bias racism tea party everyone needs to repent for tolerating racism including those who support planned parenthood by dr alveda king july 17 2010 tags dr alveda king life pro life prolife by marie atlanta ga dr alveda king director of african american outreach for priests for life and niece of dr martin luther king jr responded today to the naacp s charge that the tea party movement tolerates racism we all need to examine and repent of our own tolerance for discrimination said dr king but to condemn an entire group because of a few people yet support planned parenthood an organization marinated in racism is to strain out gnats and swallow a camel the most obvious practitioner of racism in the united states today is planned parenthood an organization founded by the eugenicist margaret sanger and recently documented as ready to accept money to eliminate black babies added dr king the most positive step we can take to fight racism is to end the hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies given to an organization that fulfills the dreams of the ku klux klan a group planned parenthood s founder once addressed reprinted by permission 1 comment from abortion activism attacks from the left current events topics racism i condemn the naacp july 17 2010 by marie african american conservatives co founder marie stroughter was published at big government her piece repudiating the naacp resolution regarding racism in the tea party was featured on the site leave a comment from activism attacks from the left racism tea party statement regarding the black panther case by ltc allen west july 8 2010 tags black panthers eric holder extremists obama terrorists by marie ltc west has graciously forwarded us a copy of his position on the disposition of the black panther case the recent decision by the obama justice department to drop all charges of voter intimidation against the new black panther party during the 2008 election represents a sad day for all americans for an administration that promised a new era in race relations obama and the democrats in congress have demonstrated that race will continually be exploited for political gain it is outright hypocrisy that the justice department under attorney general holder is suing a sovereign american state yet dismissing this heinous violation of our constitution the right to vote throughout history the democrat party has been the standard bearer of voter intimidation in america only this time the once victim is now the perpetrator the recent comments and actions of the new black panther party are despicable disgusting and completely reprehensible it is with no reservation that i make a formal condemnation of this racist and extremist group which is anathema to the principles and values that make america a great nation for those who would define our country as a nation of cowards or who feel the united states is neither great nor exceptional and to any other racist and extremist groups feel free to show yourselves the door as a young black man who grew up in the inner city of atlanta my mom and dad taught me that which is presented in the declaration of independence that all men are created equal i was taught and i have taught my children that there is no such thing as an african american or black american only american that there is only one true race the human race that the only colors that matter in this country are red white and blue that as a constitutional republic the rule of law is paramount in binding us as a nation throughout our congressional campaign endeavor to restore honor integrity and character to the us house of representatives i have been called many things by some black americans token uncle tom sellout oreo cookie and many others and the so called leaders of the black movement mainly those in the congressional black caucus have remained silent in their condemnation of these race baiting critics the die has been cast in this election cycle democrats and their liberal progressive socialist allies will continue to play the race card when it is politically expedient i demand an investigation of the new black panther party and the placement of it along with any extremist group be placed on the terrorist watch list if warranted if that it not done prior to my taking the oath of office as a united states congressman it will happen soon thereafter 3

dead june 25 2010 tags american jobs and tax loopholes act democrats gop hr 4213 jobs obama unemployment by darkknight3565 anyone clicking on the major news sites thursday night would have been greeted by a startling headlines that would not exactly make one proud of being a member of the gop the headline of course is evil republicans to unemployed drop dead that wasn t literally the headline but close enough the ap reported the failure of the senate to pass hr4213 which would have along with other things such as 1 billion for some kind of youth summer jobs initiative extended unemployment benefits for the long term unemployed in republicans kill senate jobless aid measure republicans on thursday defeated democrats showcase election year jobs bill including an extension of weekly unemployment benefits for millions of people out of work more than six months the 57 41 vote fell three votes short of the 60 required to crack a gop filibuster delivering a major blow to president barack obama and democrats facing big losses of house and senate seats in the fall election the bill had been sharply pared back after weeks of negotiations with gop moderates olympia snowe and susan collins of maine the most recent version unveiled wednesday night contained new cuts to food stamps and scaled back the state aid provision to allow democrats to claim the measure was fully paid for except for the unemployment insurance extension that didn t move republicans like minority leader mitch mcconnell of kentucky it adds new taxes and over 30 billion to an already staggering 13 trillion dollar national debt said mcconnell ouch dems are working so hard for the poor unemployed but those republicans well they just can t be moved the huffington post covered the story with similarly lamenting first with the booming headline the jobless get jobbed democrats abandon aid package in the face of unified republican filibuster then with jobs bill fails in senate democrats say thursday s doomed vote was the last chance how noble democrats like jesus at a synagogue in nazareth spoke out in compassion for the poor only to fall on the stone ears of the republicans this meme continued throughout most major publications the los angeles times for example losing the good will it gathered by interviewing aacons co founder marie stroughter ran a headline that said senate gop blocks jobless aid extension wow mean even foxnews com simply ran the ap version of events most of these stories strangely enough did not mention why republicans voted against this bill given that the unemployed are still allowed to vote and republicans want votes at least as much as democrats that would seem a reasonable question besides isn t why one of the five ws of journalism the stories that did cover the why behind republican opposition generally featured a statement from mitch mcconnell s office or something along those lines buried eight paragraphs down that essentially said it raises the deficit too much in other words the mainstream media is painting the republican party once again being the party of no just as it was during the healthcare reform debate with neither constructive ideas of its own nor with any concern for the least fortunate of those they are elected to represent however just as in the healthcare debate republicans actually do seem to have the capacity to do more than simply vote against whatever the democrats propose unfortunately one would have to be extremely diligent extremely intelligent or extremely lucky to find any reporting of the republican alternative in the mainstream media i was extremely lucky as it turns out there is a republican alternative to hr4213 as reported by associatedcontent com the final vote 57 41 reflected a gain of one vote in a week where democrats cut and dropped and sliced to win bipartisan support senator max baucus sponsor of the current version of the bill said that about 100 billion had been taken away the

mcchrystal obama resignation by marie so gen mcchrystal resigned in fairness he wasn t fired though he probably would have been from his position as the top american and nato commander in afghanistan and all because it seems he said that president obama seemed uncomfortable and intimidated at a briefing that he thought seemed more of a photo op let s look at what actually happened whether his resignation was the best move and what it means for the war in afghanistan and the 2012 presidential race what was said and its ramifications in his article the runaway general michael hastings wrote with emphasis added even though he had voted for obama mcchrystal and his new commander in chief failed from the outset to connect the general first encountered obama a week after he took office when the president met with a dozen senior military officials in a room at the pentagon known as the tank according to sources familiar with the meeting mcchrystal thought obama looked uncomfortable and
