POINTS FACTS TO PONDER…

Consider the following.....

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.  Funny how that works.

Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. How come we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money?  What's interesting is the first group ‘worked’ for their money, but the second didn't.  Think about it.....

Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, providing no pay raises for our military and cutting our Army to a level lower than before WWII, but we are not stopping the payments or benefits to illegals?

Am I the only one missing something?

AN OPEN LETTER TO DONALD STERLING

Mr. Sterling:

I never heard of you until this week, and the one thing I know for sure is that you are dumb….dumb for making the comments you made.  I do not support the things you said.  But this country has a Constitution that gives you the right to say them.

If you have a problem with your girlfriend’s associations, you should deal with that in the privacy of your home and NOT by writing something she can blackmail you with, or by SPEAKING of it in a location where you might be recorded and have THAT used to blackmail you.

Having said that, here is my suggestion(s) for actions I would take were I you, and had your resources.

• You should publish a complete list of every politician you have ever donated money to, and itemize the amounts you gave OVER THE YEARS.  Regardless of party, it would be time for show and tell. If you are such a miserable racist – apparently not something NEW – why did they keep taking your money.  Time to ask for it back?
• You should hire a PR firm to run ads on your behalf.  A typical ad could show the Rev. Jesse Jackson making his comment about Hymietown… was he eaten alive by the media for that one?  He did a weepy mia culpa and the dust settled.  Are you any worse than Jesse?  http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/frenzy/jackson.htm
• Rev. Al Sharpton led a riot 20 years ago in Crown Heights, NY, after an immigrant child was accidentally hit and killed by a Hasidic Jew.  In his eulogy at the funeral, the Rev. Al Sharpton made comments about "diamond dealers" and commented "It's an accident to allow an apartheid ambulance service in the middle of Crown Heights."  In addition, a banner displayed at the funeral [of the child] read "Hitler did not do the job" [Wikipedia]  Nearly 20 years later, Sharpton again made headlines with his National Action Network by leading a rally in Florida during the George Zimmerman trial [using his patented line ‘no justice, no peace]. ******* Al isn’t attacked for being racist…. He gets invited to the White House.  (Maybe Al should hand Barry a check for the $2.4 Mil he owes in back taxes!  But Al gets a TV show and NOT jail time for that one)

•  “(I get to) kill all the white people… How great is that?” – Jamie Foxx discussing his Django Unchanged role…No one batted an eye – he’s still making movies…. Was his comment any more racist than yours?
• Mahatma Gandhi “ran a gas station down in Saint Louis.” - Senator Hillary Clinton….and SHE GOING TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT
• Blacks and Hispanics are “too busy eating watermelons and tacos” to learn how to read and write.” – Mike Wallace, CBS News. Source: Newsmax – Kept his job with CBS News until he retired…. Was what you said worse than that?
• “Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.”  Spoken by Former Klansman and now deceased US Senator Robert Byrd, a man who is referred to by many Democrats as the “conscience of the Senate”, in a letter written in 1944, after he quit the KKK. (Byrd was not only a member of the Klan, HE WAS THE LEADER OF HIS CHAPTER!)  He was Senator for Life… until he died…. Are you more of a racist than he was?
• “I’ll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” — Lyndon B. Johnson to two governors on Air Force One.  I’d call that a bit racist, especially coming from a sitting president (who apparently knew what he was talking about.)  I think THAT is worse than what you said, but apparently no one was bothered by it.
• “Republicans bring out Colin Powell and J.C. Watts because they have no program, no policy. They have no love and no joy. They’d rather take pictures with black children than feed them.” — Donna Brazile, Al Gore’s Campaign Manager for the 2000 election.  I guess that’s ok since SHE is black.  She is currently Vice Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.  No racism here…. Move along.

• LOL - no comment necessary - a village is missing it's idiot.
•  “I give interracial couples a look. Daggers. They get uncomfortable when they see me on the street.” – Spike Lee.  Doesn’t own a basketball team but still making movies.
• Our post-racial president, speaking of the grandparents who raised him:  “The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn’t.  But she is a typical white person…” – Barack Obama
• Poor Dan…. He kain’t heppit… “(Obama’s) a nice person, he’s very articulate this is what’s been used against him, but he couldn’t sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic.” – Dan Rather, CBS Evening News.  Where’s the outrage!?
• “I’d rather be called a Nigger than a Slave.” – Film critic Roger Ebert – again – where’s the outrage?
• “A few years ago, (Barack Obama) would have been getting us coffee.” – Bill Clinton to Ted Kennedy.  ROFLMAO!  Where’s the outra….nevermind
• “The white man is our mortal enemy, and we cannot accept him.” – Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.  I just threw this one in because Louie is such a froot loop.  But apparently NOT a racist since this was just brushed aside.

Yep, wouldn’t cost much to make ads with all these proper lefties making these comments.  If they are going to paint you as a racist, it’s time to spatter a little ‘paint’ of your own.  Enjoy!

BREAKING:  Sterling has been banned for life from the NBA and can't go near the TEAM HE OWNS!  He's also being fined $2.5 Million and the powers that be plan to force Sterling to sell his team.
http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2014/04/29/nba-to-discuss-investigation-into-sterling/

Ed. Note:  I LISTENED to what was supposed to be Sterling's 'RANT' yesterday on the news.  I wouldn't call it a RANT.  And while I'm still NOT defending the comments Sterling made, there has GOT to be more to this than meets the eye!  The punishment here does NOT, in my opinion, fit the crime.

Below is the best article to date on this debacle....

4/30/14 UPDATE:

NBA Rumors: Did Magic Johnson Use V. Stiviano To Set-Up Donald Sterling and Realize Plan to Buy L.A Clippers? Theory Gaining Steam

On Tuesday's edition of the Rush Limbaugh show, a Dallas-based caller came up with an intriguing theory behind the Sterling's controversy.  The caller believed Magic Johnson and his group used V. Stiviano girlfriend to set up Sterling and put him on the hot seat.
Limbaugh did not provide a clear stance on the caller's suspicion, but he did come up with an interesting take for his listeners to ponder upon.

"Folks, there's an intricate web being woven here.  This sugar babe (Sterling's mistress) is all over L.A. sports! She's with Sterling...she's with Magic... This whole thing is coming together so clearly," Limbaugh said.
Well, the caller's theory is certainly intriguing.  After all, Magic indeed expressed his intention to expand his sports empire beyond the Dodgers, and he has now become the frontrunner to buy the Clippers franchise, which is expected to on sale for over $1 billion. *** from the link below....

http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/550153/20140430/donald-sterling-magic-johnson.htm#.U2Eic_ldWSo

MY THOUGHTS ON THE THOUGHT POLICE

The entire media WORLD is positively freaking out because an 80-year-old bigot made a comment to his 31-year-old girlfriend about blacks.  He happens to be uber-rich, he happens to own a professional basketball team, and he HAPPENS to be a liberal. 

Donald Sterling is an American business magnate and former attorney.  He is the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers in the National Basketball Association. 

From USA Today:  

In a conversation with a woman thought to be his girlfriend, V. Stiviano, Sterling says he didn't like that she posed with Magic Johnson for a photo (posted on Instagram) and didn't want her bringing Johnson to Clippers games.  Her attorney, Mac E. Nehoray, said in a statement that the conversation was legitimate.

OMFG!  This man should be tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail!

But wait….. Sterling was born in 1934…. He has LIVED AND BREATHED racism when it really WAS racism.  He became a wealthy man (not by being on the government tit but mostly by working his ass off) and in 1981 Sterling bought the struggling San Diego Clippers for $12.5 million. 

Sterling’s ‘racism’ is not new.  In August 2006, the U.S. Department of Justice sued Sterling for housing discrimination in using race as a factor in filling some of his apartment buildings.

The suit charged that Sterling refused to rent to non-Koreans in the Koreatown neighborhood and to African Americans in Beverly Hills  The suit alleges Sterling once said he did not like to rent to Hispanics because they "smoke, drink and just hang around the building," and that "Black tenants smell and attract vermin."  

Read more about the various discrimination suits against Sterling. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Sterling]

My point here is…. Donald Sterling’s background of discrimination is NOT news.  But suddenly, when he tells his girlfriend he’s not excited about her hanging with Magic Johnson, the shit has hit the fan.  Blacks in the NBA who think nothing of calling each OTHER niggers, and calling whites ‘honkeys’ are OMG offended at Sterling’s prejudice.  The blacks like Magic claim Sterling got rich off the back of the black players in ‘the black basketball league’.   I say – those same players were totally free to walk off the court and into the sunset.  But THEY CHOSE TO PLAY FOR STERLING’S TEAM AND TAKE STERLING’S MONEY.

The world is screaming that Sterling should be forced to sell the team.  He’s a racist!  He’s a bigot!  Old news…. Move along.

My thoughts are these….

We have something called the Constitution of the United States of America.

There is not a single line in that document that say ANYONE has the right not to be offended.  There is not a single line in that document that says stupid people can’t say stupid shit most any place they want to.  There is not a single line in that document that says you MUST work for a racist or a bigot – you are not cuffed to the oars – WALK THE FUCK AWAY if you don’t like your boss.  It IS still a free country, despite Barack Hussein Obama.  

In that vein, the black half of our post-racial president made this comment yesterday in during his trip (on our dime) to Malaysia:

From the Washington Times:  

At a press conference in Malaysia, Mr. Obama called Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling “ignorant.” The billionaire is suspected of telling a female friend in an audio recording not to associate with black people or to bring them to Clippers games.

This from the same man who sends out his minions like Holder to rant against racism and/or play that tried and true RACIST CARD. 

(Did Obama find the missing airliner?  But I digress….)

In a nutshell, Sterling is a racist and a bigot.  This is NOT news… his opinions have been LONG ignored because he is a BIG TIME DONOR TO LEFTIST CAUSES…. PERIOD!

I would suggest the worthless Congress of the United States hastily proceed with drafting and passing a Constitutional Amendment (not a law – let’s just change the frikking founding document) that states THOU SHALT NOT OFFEND ANYONE BY SAYING ANYTHING THAT WOULD OFFEND ANYONE.  I’m sure Barry would sign it and 35 states would ratify it (rather than be accused of racism!)

That would silence EVERYONE from saying ANYTHING about ANYTHING in the presence of ANYONE.  A nation of mutes….. imagine…. in a couple of generations our vocal cords would become as useless as our appendix has become and we can all be happy.

My follow-up post later in the day....
http://reidsright.blogspot.com/2014/04/an-open-letter-to-donald-sterling_29.html

As an aside…. if Sterling’s girlfriend is 31, I’ll kiss your ass in the middle of Main Street.

SOCIALISM VS. CAPITALISM MADE UNDERSTANDABLE

Or putting it another way.....

BOEHNER 'HELLBENT' ALRIGHT! HELLBENT ON HANDING THE DEMOCRATS WHAT THEY NEED TO WIN THIS NOVEMBER!

I just read the article below and my hands are shaking so much I can barely type.

John Boehner has been in the sun too long!  His brain is fried from Beta rays and nicotine.  What in the HELL can he be thinking as he pledges to act on an immigration bill before the November election.

I understand the deal.... there are business owners throughout America WHO NEED CHEAP LABOR.  Why?  Because people who used to take these jobs are now living large on taxpayer-funded government entitlement programs!!!  That's on the one side, mind you.  On the other side is the Communist in the White House raising entry level job WAGES to the point that the small business owner has two choices - go under or go under!

We officially now have more people getting government assistance/entitlements than we have working and paying taxes.  This should scare the hell out of any thinking person.  But even scarier is that there are people on the government tit who could be filling the jobs that are available, yet they choose to ride in the wagon - and you really can't blame them.  If you really want insight into what's happening to our country, read 'It Pays To Be Poor In America', by Kevin Jackson.  Written 5 years ago, it's even more relevant now.

http://theblacksphere.net/2009/01/it-pays-to-be-poor-in-america/

When we have people capable of working, why are we encouraging immigration to fill these jobs????  Our money would be far better spent by reducing the length of time people - and I'm talking about healthy, capable individuals - can ride in the wagon.

Immigrants are not stupid.  They come here, mostly to work and improve the quality of life for themselves and their families.  Mostly.... but how many look around and see the lifestyle provided by the free ride and decide to hop on that train?

I would say to Boehner:  Obamacare (no matter what numbers the White House and the left keep spewing out as 'great news') is the gift that keeps on giving.  It has an impact on every single American, and while the left tries to say the Obamacare horror stories are fake (like that glittering jewel of colossal ignorance from Nevada) - they are NOT fake.  USE THIS GIFT by proposing fixes and making them KNOWN TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC!  This should be the primary issue for the 2014 elections.

The other gift that Obama has handed Republicans is his failure to take action on the Keystone XL pipeline (read my most recent post).  Obama is paying back Warren Buffett - end of discussion.  The pipeline is about JOBS, JOBS, and MORE JOBS!  That should be issue #2 in November.

If you think Republicans stayed home in 2012, Mr. Boehner - you ain't seen nothing like how depressed the Republican turnout will be THIS election if you insist on pushing for immigration reform when 99% of Americans believe REFORM EQUALS AMNESTY!  You can take that to the bank!

What the 'HELLBENT' are you thinking!!!!!

http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304626304579508091839546088?mg=reno64-wsj&url=http%3A%2F%2Fonline.wsj.com%2Farticle%2FSB10001424052702304626304579508091839546088.html

KEYSTONE PIPELINE

The Canadians have oil to sell and they want to deliver it via the shortest and safest route possible to the refineries/end users.

The Keystone XL pipeline would be the cleanest, safest way to proceed with crude oil delivery to multiple refineries.

Obama has delayed a decision on the pipeline construction for SIX YEARS!

The primary delivery system of this Canadian oil today is via rail.

The rail system is owned by one MAJOR Obama donor.  His name is Warren Buffett.

By delaying construction of the pipe line, Obama guarantees that Buffett will continue to be the major carrier of crude.  And the screaming idiot environmentalists who are opposing the pipeline need to take a look at the emissions RAIL TRANSIT PRODUCES.  This is all a hoax.  Environmentalists are ignorant pathetic puppets of this president.

If nothing else, Obama pays back his puppetmasters.

Give the bastard a phone and a pen and the rest of the country can eat cake!  Fuck the 10,000 jobs the pipeline would provide.  The Muslim in the White House couldn't give a flaming shit about jobs and the economy, and the sooner we the people realize this, the sooner we can all get on the shriveling government tit.

SEEMS JOHN BOEHNER HAS A PRIMARY OPPONENT!

Heard this one on the radio!  Probably the best political add IN YEARS!

H/T to Rush Limbaugh!

J.D. Winteregg, one of three men challenging Boehner for the 8th Congressional District seat in the May 6 Republican primary, has launched “When The Moment Is Right,” a Viagra commercial spoof...

http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/news/local-govt-politics/boehner-suffers-electile-dysfunction-troy-tea-part/nfZQZ/

Based on this commercial…… Winteregg does NOT need Viagra!  LOL

KISS THE INTERNET GOODBYE

Another assault by the Obama administration on free speech??

America is a bad nation!  We are too powerful, too wealthy (less so now than 5 years ago though), too everything, and the rest of the world is envious. 

Obama promised to make us more loved around the world.  To that end, he is eviscerating our military power by cutting it to World War II levels.  That should show the world that we are being weakened.  Add to that this administrations’ oath to get rid of our nukes.  Well – we won’t need them if we have to military to deploy them.

Fast forward to the United Nations, located in Manhattan and funded by the United States to the tune of $6+ million/year for general funding and $7+ BILLION/YEAR for ‘peacekeeping finance’.  In return, Iran has chosen a former hostage-taker involved in the 1979 seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran to serve as its ambassador at the United Nations – a clear ‘middle finger’ this country.  Obama has remained silent and the UN will accept this murdering criminal as an ambassador. 

And now… our president has decided that we should TURN OVER CONTROL OF THE INTERNET to the United Nations….. to show the world that we don’t want to be powerful any more.

The United Nations recently passed a resolution attempting to shut down any criticism of Islam, and Russia just spent the last two weeks locking out any websites that dissented from its military incursion into Crimea, for just two examples of what the brave new world of the Internet might look like under non-US control.***

The INTERNET will be run by a committee…. who will need to be paid.  With the UN drowning in red ink, where will this money to pay these people come from?  If you guess that the internet will no longer be free, you get a balloon. (But this is only ONE of the problems for the US if this happens.)

America developed, financed, and has run the internet since its inception. It is FREE and one of the last bastions of FREE SPEECH on the planet!

WHAT THE FUCK IS OBAMA THINKING?????  This is what happens when you give an idiot bent on destroying this country a PEN AND A PHONE!

^^^ A MUST-READ ARTICLE!!!!

WHAT A GREAT COMMERCIAL THIS IT!

NOTHING BUT THE FINEST FOR OUR BOY BARACK!

From the WEEKLYSTANDARD.COM today:

In late March, President Obama took a week-long trip through Europe which included a stop of less than 24 hours in Brussels, Belgium for meetings with the European Union and NATO. The president stayed at The Hotel, a twenty-seven story hotel in the center of the city. The estimated cost for the president's stay, including about two weeks for an advance team, was $1,522,646.36

 Yep - nothing but the finest for our President.

IF ONLY....... EASTER EGG ROLL.....

WHO IS IN CHARGE?

This one has me scratching my head.

The opening sentence of this article says:

The FBI is searching for a recent Army recruit believed to be planning a "Fort Hood-inspired jihad against U.S. soldiers," FoxNews.com has learned.

So the story is…. a guy named Booker (a/k/a Muhammad Abdullah Hassan) had been recruited by the US Army in Kansas City, Mo., in February 2014 and was scheduled to report for Basic Training on 7 April 2014.  During that time it was learned that this Booker guy had made public statements that he was going to commit jihad, much like Nidal Hasan (no relation) did at Ft. Hood, Texas.  The story says he had said this act was imminent and he told his friends goodbye.

The FBI became aware of all this and they interviewed Booker on March 20.  So just last week, prior to Booker’s 7 April reporting date, Booker was discharged from the Army.

There is now a manhunt on for Booker/Hassan.

The FBI HAD him and interviewed him.  He was due to report for duty on 7 April.  Why not continue with THAT plan and nab his butt when he showed up for induction?  Or better still, sign him up and then have the MP's cart him off to GTMO for some serious questioning.

Why was he not put under surveillance?  The military had his address.  Why was THAT not put under surveillance?  Both have pictures of this man…. Why are these not ‘out there’?

My question is:  How did this guy just waltz away from everyone in authority and disappear? 

It also begs the question I’ve had for Homeland Security… why are you people monitoring phone calls and email of every American and yet when you were TOLD BY PHONE that one of the Brothers Tsarnaev had been in the Middle East for six months ‘studying’ bombmaking with Al Qaeda-linked terrorists, you were unable to find these two before they blew up their backpacks at the Boston Marathon.

Who the heck is in charge here?
