So.. Apparently we have managed to teach our children that it’s ok to use the “N” word, even when black people object because very apparently, just because you use that word, your clearly not a racist… From the WTF files, via the Buffalo News.
At least a dozen Kenmore East High School girls varsity basketball players have been suspended and face other sanctions for using a racial slur as part of their regular pregame locker room chant. The practice apparently had been going on for years.
Teammates would hold hands before their games, say a prayer together, then yell “One, two, three [N*****]!” before running out onto the court, according to offended students.
In what world do you live in when the only black girl on the team complains to her team members about their little tradition and they blow her off with ‘You know we’re not racist… It’s just a word, not a label.’
oh well. 1, 2, 3, Bigots. don’t worry, it’s just a word, not a label.

So.. today it’s the turn of Lowe’s to decide which religions are legitimate, and which ones aren’t.

Rick Perry seems to be getting lost in his own translation. In his latest ad, he makes the rather large assertion that President Obama has failed the Christians in America by allowing Gays to openly server in the military, and that the Federal Government has failed America by not legislatively protecting religious freedoms in schools. Yet in virtually the following breath, Perry recently stated in an interview in Iowa that the Government had no place legislating or deciding the legality of religious freedom issues, such deliberations should be left to the states individually. You can’t on the one hand blame President Obama for not pushing your religious adgenda on the one hand, and then accuse him of trampeling your rights by signing legislation that guarantees the freedoms of people you don’t like. Additionally, somehow Perrry managed to say that he did not feel it was the place of the Supreme Court to argue and determine the legality of legislation.. That particular statement makes me wonder if there should not be some sort of civics exam that those running for office should be required to pass before they can throw their hat in the ring. Exactly how Perry can hold the thought in his head thet the judicial branch of the government does not have the saction of the constitution to judge, is beyond me… way beyond me. And not realizing that the Supreme Court consists of 9 justices? inexcusable. Please, Mr. Perry, take a community college course in civics and come back once you know a thing or two about the Government you want to run.
Yeah, know I just wrote about this last night but… Here is a snippet from Rick Perry’s latest video
“I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a Christian, but you don’t need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there’s something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can’t openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school. As President, I’ll end Obama’s war on religion. And I’ll fight against liberal attacks on our religious heritage. Faith made America strong. It can make her strong again.”
So. Apparently, my takeaway again is, Religious Freedom for those with your identical Continue reading »

As is seasonal on their part, Fox News has again launched their regular season of bringing attention to all their viewers that “War On Christmas” being waged by everyone who does not drink their tea. And as always, they somehow manage to again tie the decisions people and municipalities back to a affront on the Constitutionally given freedon of religion. And they again, as they do EVERY year,somehow m iss that that very freedom they refer to might just somehow refer to everybody’s right to that freedom of religion, and NOT just to the particular church and branch that they adhere to. Is there any chance that a true Christian could possibly come to the view that there might not have been pine trees in Jerusalem, and that maybe Jesus did not put up a Christmas tree to celebrate his own birth? and that for us to do so might not have anything to actually do with Christianity as is taught in the bible? Nowhere was I able to find any verses in the bible that said, “And thou shalt cover thy tree with tinsel and lights”. So… lay off a touch and allow me my religion to worship God in the way I learned in the Bible, and not the way that F.A.O. Schwartz teaches.

| Candidates | Reality Stars | Swinging In The Wind |
|---|---|---|
| Romney | Gingrich | Bachman |
| Huntsman | Perry | |
| Paul | Santorum |
The above table shows who has decided to take their political campaign on the reality-show circuit by participating in a Debate moderated by Donald Trump. In what universe does Donald Trump make a qualified moderator for an actual debate? In what universe would candidates who might actually end up competing against Trump (Who still asserts he will run as an Independent next year) agree to a debate he is moderating? Does he get to “fire” one of the candidates at the end of the debate? or deos he bring them on as an apprentice? Those dumb-ass candidates who agreed to this have most certainly asinine excuse for a campaign have definitely lost any shred of respect I might have held for them. Maybe this helps sort out who is actually serious about being President and who realize the gravitas of the office, from those ass-hats who are treating this like “Survivor: D.C.”
Go back a couple months. Romney and Perry were right where they are, at the top of the realist’s leaderboard. And along comes Herman Cain, A Republican Idealist’s wet dream… A Black Conservative “Pulled Myself Up By My Own Bootstraps” millionaire willing to run for President. Herman Cain was everything the Republican Party needed, someone they could hang out there and tout their non-racism over, all the time knowing, hell they HAD to know, that in the end there would be some serious issues that would push him out of contention. At that point they would always be free to tout their inclusiveness and the fact thet he didn’t work out was most certainly not THEIR fault. Of course that requires our suspension of belief that somehow the horde of lawyers that is the republican party prime, couldn’t dig up a multitude of civil settlements, and were so incompetent as to not have the good sense to ask to back-check at least a month’s worth of phone records for suspicious activity… Sorry I don’t buy it. Just as much as I don’t buy that they actually think that newt Gingrich has a snowball’s chance in hell in a Primary season against Pres. Obama. It’s all just chaff, a distraction, a way to keep the investigative focus on the frontrunner, and not digging too deeply into the two who in the end, one of which will be the party’s choice come the convention. Ignore Newt, he’s not the threat., dig into Romney and Perry while they sit back in the pack and are overconfident in their long-range strategy. Right now they are playing a Chinese 5-year plan to the press’s 5-minutes-of-fame obsession with the top poller-of-the-week.
After all, what other justification can you find for the incontrovertibly data-driven fact that virtually every single polling point that Herman Cain has lost due to his infidelity went to the only other candidate that publicly acknowledges multiple instances of infidelity? Unless of course you were to take the rather paranoid opinion that an African American cheating with a European American is not as forgivable as a candidate cheating within his race.
I’m sure I’ll write more about Newt in the days and weeks to come, but in the interim, let me leave you with a qoute from Newt in 1985 when the Wall Street Journal asked him about his shirking of responibility to serve his country in Vietnam,
“Part of the question I had to ask myself was what difference I would have made.”
So. True. as President, what difference would you make? might as well not run.
