Obama's True Colors





“You are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker”.

Obama’s Attorney General dropped the case against the New black Panthers who intimidated white people at a polling place in Philly. In 2007, Obama himself introduced a bill increasing the penalty for behavior of this type to five years in prison. The Justice Department has not explained why this case was dropped, but the message it sends is clear: only black people have rights in this administration.

The more he surrounds himself with radicals, communists and environmentalists convinced they have to destroy our way of life, the more he shows his true self…and it’s an ugly one. Black Power, Green Power…either way, the outcome is the same – take from the producers to give to the takers. Instead of elevating people of color, his definition of reparations is to drag everyone else down.

Why we love Glenn Beck

This post written in July, 2009.

I recently read a fair article about Glenn Beck on Pajamas Media by Bernard Chapin. Since I'm still reading 'The 5,000 Year Leap' before I start his 'Common Sense' book, I'm glad PM gave it a decent review. I had to laugh though, about his feelings toward Mr. Beck.

We get uncomfortable watching Glenn....he's so honest it hurts. He says the very things we would and do say, like when your kid comes home with 'my teacher said...." and your first thought is wtf??????

He has disarmed his detractors by openly talking about past problems with alcohol, so they have nothing 'on' him. He wears his heart on his sleeve. He speaks to the people in the 'flyover' states - the people Letterman mocked - the sample lady in the grocery store, the cheerleader, or the waitress who signs your check with a smileyface - our aunts, cousins, and possibly, us. His audience embraces all people who work and struggle to do the right thing - the community college graduate (or dropout) who somehow manages to scrape enough together for a house, clothes for the kids, good meals on the table. He talks for the kind of guy who decides to sleep in on Sunday cause he worked a six-day week, but would rather cut his own heart out before he agreed that piercing an unborn baby's skull and sucking it's brain out seconds before it is born is just a matter of 'choice'.

He makes us squirm because he reacts. It's not that there's something wrong with Glenn....it's that there's so much wrong with the rest of us.
