RACIST CONFUSION

I am a supporter of Herman Cain.

In case you are not that familiar with him, you can read a brief biography HERE.

In part its says:

"Herman returned to his home of Atlanta to begin working as a computer systems analyst for the Coca-Cola Company. After considerable success at Coca-Cola, he moved to the Pillsbury Company. Within a short period of time, Herman rose to position of Vice President. Although the comforts of a corner office on the 31st floor of a majestic corporate building seemed satisfying, Herman knew that he needed a challenge.


"He became the regional vice president of Pillsbury’s Burger King division. This meant starting from the “ground up,” dodging grease fires and broiling hamburgers. Herman was assigned to lead a low performing region of 450 of their restaurants. Within three years, it became the best performing region in the company.


"Energized by overcoming the many obstacles of his job at Burger King, Herman took on the biggest challenge of his career. He accepted the call to become the President and CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, a company that was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. In just 14 months, Herman returned Godfather’s to profitability and he led his management team to a buyout of the company."

In other words, he is a very successful person, unlike President BO (the child president), who never ran any kind of business, never had a real job, was nothing more than a community organizer and had very little experience as a senator before becoming president.

As you may already know, Herman Cain won the recent Florida straw poll quite handily.

Now I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the number of times I have read that the Tea Party and anybody who did not vote for President BO (the child president) or who does not support him, or who does not agree with him is racist.

My question to liberal/progressives is: If Herman Cain becomes the Republican nominee and runs against President BO (the child president), will those who vote against him, who do not support him or who do not agree with him be accused of racism?

UPDATE: This is unbelievable! Am I right, or am I right?

Janeane Garofalo: "Herman Cain is probably well liked by some of the Republicans because it hides the racist elements of the Republican party. Conservative movement and tea party movement, one in the same.

"People like Karl Rove liked to keep the racism very covert. And so Herman Cain provides this great opportunity say you can say 'Look, this is not a racist, anti-immigrant, anti-female, anti-gay movement. Look we have a black man.'"

Yep...and cold weather proves global warming. Same logic pattern.

LET FREEDOM RING?

If you love well researched articles, have an open mind, enjoy intellectual stimulation and have a yearning for the truth, there is a wonderful place to visit called: On Racism and Republicans.

This is by one of my favorite bloggers whose regular blog is called, "Important Stuff--or Not".

From time-to-time I will post from his excellent research, and I hope you will often visit, not only this well researched posting, but his regular blog as well.

Here are some important and revealing quotes from his research:

Blacks "are inferior to the whites in the endowments of both of body and mind." --Thomas Jefferson, 1787 Co-founder of the Democratic Party (along with Andrew Jackson)President, 1801-09

"I hold that the present state of civilization, where two races of different origin, and distinguished by color, and other physical differences, as well as intellectual, are brought together, the relation now existing in the slaveholding states between the two, is, instead of an evil, a good--a positive good." --Sen. John C. Calhoun (D., S.C.), 1837. Vice President, 1825-32. His statue stands in the U.S. Capitol.

"If blacks were given the right to vote, that would place every splay-footed, bandy-shanked, hump-backed, thick-lipped, flat-nosed, woolly-headed, ebon-colored Negro in the country upon an equality with the poor white man." --Rep. Andrew Johnson, (D., Tenn.), 1844. President, 1865-69

"Resolved, That the Democratic Party will resist all attempts at renewing, in Congress or out of it, the agitation of the slavery question, under whatever shape or color the attempt may be made." --Platform of the Democratic Party, 1852

Blacks are "a subordinate and inferior class of beings who had been subjugated by the dominant race." --Chief Justice Roger Taney, Dred Scott v. Sandford, 1856
Appointed Attorney General by Andrew Jackson in 1831
Appointed Secretary of the Treasury by Andrew Jackson in 1833
Appointed to the Supreme Court by Andrew Jackson in 1836

"Resolved, That claiming fellowship with, and desiring the co-operation of all who regard the preservation of the Union under the Constitution as the paramount issue--and repudiating all sectional parties and platforms concerning domestic slavery, which seek to embroil the States and incite to treason and armed resistance to law in the Territories; and whose avowed purposes, if consummated, must end in civil war and disunion, the American Democracy recognize and adopt the principles contained in the organic laws establishing the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska as embodying the only sound and safe solution of the 'slavery question' upon which the great national idea of the people of this whole country can repose in its determined conservatism of the Union--NON-INTERFERENCE BY CONGRESS WITH SLAVERY IN STATE AND TERRITORY, OR IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA" (emphasis in original). --Platform of the Democratic Party, 1856

"I hold that a Negro is not and never ought to be a citizen of the United States. I hold that this government was made on the white basis; made by the white men, for the benefit of white men and their posterity forever, and should be administered by white men and none others." --Sen. Stephen A. Douglas (D., Ill.), 1858
Presidential nominee of the Democratic Party, 1860

"Resolved, That the enactments of the State Legislatures to defeat the faithful execution of the Fugitive Slave Law, are hostile in character, subversive of the Constitution, and revolutionary in their effect." --Platform of the Democratic Party, 1860

"The Almighty has fixed the distinction of the races; the Almighty has made the black man inferior, and, sir, by no legislation, by no military power, can you wipe out this distinction." --Rep. Fernando Wood (D., N.Y.), 1865. Mayor of New York City, 1855-58, 1860-62

"My fellow citizens, I have said that the contest before us was one for the restoration of our government; it is also one for the restoration of our race. It is to prevent the people of our race from being exiled from their homes--exiled from the government which they formed and created for themselves and for their children, and to prevent them from being driven out of the country or trodden under foot by an inferior and barbarous race."--Francis P. Blair Jr., accepting the Democratic nomination for Vice President, 1868
Democratic Senator from Missouri, 1869-72. His statue stands in the U.S. Capitol.

Oh...there are many, many more quotes to come.

The interesting response of some liberal/progressives is along the lines of  "But this is not the same Democratic Party as we have today."

Oh yeah?

Well, stay tuned, because future posts will feature Democrat quotes from as late as last week.

A LITTLE HELP, IF YOU PLEASE

Some liberal/progressive please give me a working, practical, understandable definition of what you mean when you use the term "RIGHT WING."

WHY ELIZABETH WARREN IS WRONG

I understand that it sounds good and it sounds fair. But it is neither good nor fair.

This is the typical cycilical logic that ALL liberals use to increase taxes and government spending.

Here is a well written rebuttal to these concepts by a linear thinker:

(Warren's quotes are in italics)

“You built a factory out there? Good for you,”

“Built a factory” is a summary for a lot of work. Put up equity, designed a business, took risk to buy land, get permits, pay property taxes and use taxes and permit fees. Then, bought a bunch of equipment and had it installed …and paid sales taxes. Hired some employees and paid them a bunch of money and paid payroll taxes on top of that. Bought a bunch of raw materials from companies that paid a bunch of salaries and a bunch of taxes. Building a factory is a huge private investment that pays the public a lot of taxes for the right to be built.

“But I want to be clear: you moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for.”

Between fuel taxes, license fees, tolls and various taxes on transportation related activities, the roads budget is smaller than the total tax take.

"...you hired workers the rest of us paid to educate;"

No, you did not educate them. You babysat them for 12 years. Then I hired them, taught them how to be responsible and show up for work, taught them how to communicate in clear sentences, taught them that there are rights and wrongs and (unlike with your schools) wrongs have consequences in the workplace. Then paid for extended education for my employees so they could continue to improve themselves and better add value to what we do around here.

“You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for.”

Funny, my factory has 24/7 security guards because the last time it was broken into, the police did not even bother to take a report, they just said “call your insurance company”. As for fire? The closest fire department is 10 miles away. My insurance company requires that I have a full wet sprinkler system to qualify for insurance because there is no local fire protection.

“You didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory, and hire someone to protect against this, because of the work the rest of us did.”

Well, that is not exactly true. When the AFL-CIO tried to unionize my workforce, they staged three days of noisy protests outside my factory. The police forces just stood around and watched as the protesters intimidated my workers, vandalized their cars and destroyed my property.

(End of article)

Liberal/Progressives, your approach is counter-productive, anti-American and dangerous to the future of our nation.

It is time for you to begin to learn linear thinking and get off of this "taxation on the rich makes them pay their 'fair share' kick."

It does no such thing.

The rich already pay FAR more than their fair share, the top 1-3% of earners paying more than 40% of taxes in this country, while 40% pay none at all.

And your cyclical thinking causes you to think that's fair?

Give me an ever-lovin'-blue-eyed-break!

EVER WONDER WHY I CALL HIM "THE CHILD PRESIDENT?"

BECAUSE HE THINKS LIKE ONE

Only a total narcicist would think that he should wave to the camera in a group photo of world leaders.

(And if YOU think that was appropriate, you're as much of a child as he is).

How would you like to be the guy whose face he covered up?

ANOTHER ONE OF MY GREAT NEW IDEAS!

(OR HOW Soylendra Green BECAME THE LAW OF THE LAND)

I have an idea, and I'd like you to join me in it.

I am going to manufacture a "green" product and sell it!

Now this new product is going to cost me $6.00 per unit to produce and I will sell it for $3.00 per unit.

Would you like to get in on the deal?

All you have to do is send money to the government and they will give me a few billion dollars to keep my company going.

Just imagine how long I could keep producing units at $6.00 each and selling them at $3.00 each if the government helps me do it.

Do you think you might make millions on the deal?

That is exactly, precisely what happened at Solyndra, the much touted "green" solar-panel company.

President BO (the child president) and his minions in his administration used Solyndra as an example of how wonderful "green" companies are for the economy and how just a little "stimulus" would help them succeed.

They helped, all right, to the tune of $528 million tax payer dollars.

Vice President, Joe Biden, rejoiced with us as he proclaimed how much good the "stimulus" would do and how proud he was of the jobs "created" or "saved" at this wonderful "green" company. These would be "...jobs of the future. Jobs you can raise a family on..."

He proclaimed that these jobs would serve as a foundation for a stronger American economy. He said he was "really happy" that we closed a $528 million loan guarantee for Solyndra.

And what were the results of this economic philosophy?

The company went bankrupt, the $528 million tax payer dollars were lost and 1,100 jobs are gone.

Even someone as stupid and narrow minded as a liberal/progressive could see that this was a bad deal.

Furthermore, there is more than ample evidence that the government knew there were problems at Solyndra before the loan guarantees were made.

But in the mind of the liberal/progressive, intent trumps results.

When are you idiots going to wake up and realize that your Pollyannic, Utopian ideas sound great in a college Sophomore bull session, but they never have, do not now and never will work?

To the liberal/progressive mind, government bail-outs, stimuli and guaranteed loans are capital.

They are not.

Capital is what is raised by a company from investors who expect a return on their investment in exchange for their dollars.

Are you asking us to believe that you believe the government believes a unit costing $6.00 and being sold at $3.00 is going to return an "investment" (read: tax dollars) to the tax payers?

Really?

Are you liberal/progressives that obtuse?

Fine!

Just leave me your email address in my comments section and I will contact you about investing in my great new idea.

I promise you the same success your government consistently has.

A GREAT "NEW" IDEA!

I have a great new idea!

OK. It's not all that new, but it can make you and me rich!

Here's what it will do.

You send me money...any amount of money...it doesn't matter how much.

I will guarantee you a return of your investment with interest.

In exchange, I will keep a small portion of your money for myself, to use as I please.

Now, the way I will pay you will be by enrolling new "members" into my plan.

I will use their money to pay you, so that your return is realized in a timely manner.

If you stop "contributing" to the system, don't worry. We'll enroll enough new people to keep your payments coming, and if not, we'll just charge more to get into the system.

I promise to set up a "fund" from which to make payments to you in case the system is not bringing in enough cash at any given moment.

Doesn't that sound like a good deal?

It's called a Ponzi scheme.

A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to separate investors, not from any actual profit earned by the organization, but from their own money or money paid by subsequent investors.

The Ponzi scheme entices new investors by offering returns other investments cannot guarantee, in the form of short-term returns that are either abnormally high or unusually consistent.

The perpetuation of the returns that a Ponzi scheme advertises and pays requires an ever-increasing flow of money from investors to keep the scheme going.

The system is destined to collapse because the earnings, if any, are less than the payments to investors.

It's the deal that sent Bernie Madoff to prison.

It's also the deal you get with Social Security.

The money you pay in now is not used to pay you when you retire; it is used to pay those who are presently retired.

The money you get when you retire will come from those who are still working when you retire.

Turns out that Rick Perry was right.

LEST WE FORGET

WHAT’S THE POINT?

As demonstrated in the comments section of this blog almost every time I write about almost anything, the most narrow minded people on earth are American liberal/progressives (a trait they share with radical Islamists).

Nothing factual I write here is likely to turn the light on inside their heads. Nothing is going to change their minds about anything, because they live by emotion, not by truth.

Some bloggers get more readers in one day than I've gotten in the whole time I've been blogging.

So, why do I bother blogging?

1. I like blogging.
2. Blogging gives me an opportunity to express myself.
3. Blogging allows me to peacefully protest what my gluttonous government is doing.
4. Blogging gives me power…power to decide what gets “said” in my “house.”
5. Blogging allows me to share the views of others…sometimes others with whom I disagree.
6. Since our government (as well as governments around the world) wants to limit and/or control blogging, I figure I’d better do all of it I can while I can.
7. Blogging gives me the chance to express what I believe, regardless of what the reader believes or of what the reader thinks about what I believe.
8. Blogging gives me a reason to research various topics and thus stimulate my mind.
9. When I blog, I get to read other people’s blogs, something I probably would not do were I not involved, myself.
10. Through blogging I get to consider others’ ideas and thoughts, and either accept them or reject them, based on my own personal evaluation of them.
11. I love irritating liberal/progressives on my blog.
12. At least when I blog, my fingers get exercise.

So there you have it.

That’s why I blog.

Aren’t you glad you learned that?

(Of course, if you’re a liberal/progressive, you probably didn’t learn anything anyway).

A 450 BILLION DOLLAR "PLAN"

That's right, boys and girls!

President BO (the child president) decided to try to strong-arm Congress to adopt a $450 billion "Jobs Plan."

"Pass this bill now!" He kept saying.

By so doing he put conservatives in a position that if they don't go along, they will be blamed for the consequences, not him.

Forever deflecting the blame.

That $450 billion would be paid for by...oh, wait, he didn't say.

Uh...he DID mention taking some more from rich people, as though that would help. In fact, if you took all of the assets of all of the rich people, it would barely touch either the deficit or the debt.

So, just raising their taxes to "their fair share" is really nothing more than a little class warfare, but with no class.

Well, at least we know it will result in jobs. How many? He didn't say.

He also proposed spending to fix schools and roads, hire local teachers and police and to extend unemployment benefits.

Spending.

That's the name of the game, isn't it?

For Democrats it is.

But wait! He proposed tax cuts!

The tax cuts he proposed would amount to roughly $250 billion.

Who gets their taxes cut?

Actually, nobody.

His tax "cuts" would be accomplished by not raising them when the current "tax cut" bill expires.

He said that deepening the payroll tax cut would save an average family making $50,000 a year about $1,500 compared to what they would if Congress did not extend the current tax cut.

It's the old call a non-raise a cut game.

President BO (the child president) proposed extending unemployment benefits for another six months.

Oh, good! Another six months for those out of work to stay out of work!

Obama proposed a $4,000 tax credit for businesses that hire workers who have been out of work for more than six months.

Why do I smell reams of extra paperwork and regulations?

"Government regulations" was one of the things President BO (the child president) spoke about...only he hedged his bet, using the adjective "unnecessary."

To a Democrat, ALL regulations are necessary regulations.

The One, did, however, do one thing: He proved me sort of wrong. He didn't say NOTHING.

He proposed what all Democrats always propose: more spending.

And he's going to hit you up to the tune of $450 billion.

Oh joy!

PREDICTION

What will President BO (the child president) say tonight that will indicate a viable plan to create jobs.




Prediction:



NOTHING.

THE HEART OF THE MATTER

I am back home and would like somebody to get the license plate number of the truck that hit me.

The procedure was not successful.

The heartbeat skips and PVCs that have plagued me are still there, and, trust me, when they are as frequent as they are in me, it is a simi-dire circumstance.

PVCs are not Poly Vinyl Chloride. They are Premature Ventricular Contractions. They are caused by the heart's electrical system gone awry.

The right ventricle pumps normally,then, at the end of its beat, it fails to rest, but is stimulated to pump again, before its time to.

The result is that the heart then rests longer than it is supposed to while the electrical impulses (that originate in specialized heart cells) re-set themselves. Then the process starts all over again.

Everybody has occasional PVCs and they go entirely un-noticed.

In some people (like me) they become so frequent that they bring an effective heartbeat rate of 35 to 40 beats per minute.

This is not sufficient circulation to provide oxygen and nutrients to the other organs.

So, while it is rarely fatal, it is debilitating.

There is one more available procedure available called Epicardial Ablation.

Epicardial Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure in which the electrophysiologist enters the chest through a very small incision between the ribs, inserts a wire through a small tube and, using 3D monitoring, locates the offending electrical cells on the outside of the heart and cauterizes them, hopefully to fire prematurely no more.

This procedure is available only at a few major medical centers around the country, so it remains to be seen whether I will be able to avail myself of the procedure.

In the mean time, adjusting my meds may provide some relief and enable me to get back to work.

For those of you interested, I thought I would bring you up-to-date.

So I did!

Thanks you for your prayers, your thoughts and your well-wishing.
