Political correctness backfires again in the public school system. Continue Reading

The FCC is a Commission that was established by the Communications Act of 1934. It regulates TV, radio, telephone, cable, cell phone and satellite companies, while granting broadcast license’s and regulating media ownership (but it can only issue regulations and enforce laws that are in fact enacted by Congress.) Sounds pretty strict huh?

In 2003 at the Golden Globe Awards, U2 front man -and egomaniac- Bono said on live radio/tv, “this is really, really, fucking brilliant”

Over 200,000 complaints were immediately received by the Federal Communications Commission regarding the Golden Globes Awards Show’s broadcasting of the word “Fucking.” All complaints cited that The Awards Show had violated federal indecency and obscenity laws.

Is the following quote what you would have expected to get as a reply from the FCC in regards to this incident?

“To be obscene, material must meet a three-prong test: (1) the average person, applying contemporary community standards, must find that the material, as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest; (2) the material must depict or describe, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by applicable law; and (3) the material, taken as a whole, must lack serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value. Applying that test, we find that the material broadcast during the Golden Globe Awards program was not obscene. The use of specific words, including expletives or other Four letter words does not render material obscene.”

“Moreover, the complained-of material does not depict or describe sexual conduct and thus does not meet the obscenity standard under Miller v. California. Because the broadcast does not meet the obscenity standard under Miller, we deny the complaints alleging that the broadcast was obscene.”

Michael Powell (Initially nominated by Clinton in 1997, and then named Chairman of the FCC in 2001-2005, by G.W. Bush) was Chairman at the time of this incident. He could have set the bar high for moral values on tv and radio in this country at this very time, but instead set the bar for mediocrity. Now you know who to thank when you walk into your kids playroom and they have the remote in their hand and this is on the tv.

Just think about it, if “Fuck” is now acceptable on tv, anything else beneath it is now fair game. To be fair, “Family Guy” has been on tv since 1999 and has always been raunchy (which I sometimes do find amusing) and is said to be for adult humor, but it’s marketed for children. This is what I have an issue with. Hell, why wouldn’t toy companies jump at the chance to sell figures of animated characters who have high tv ratings…and use vulgar language. If the FCC has no issue…why should anyone else right?

Some shows or movies on tv, like “Saving Private Ryan,” or the South Park movie, “Bigger, Longer & Uncut” you are actually hearing it as you would at the movie theater, which is not edited of vulgarity.

Comedy Central is notorious for the “F” word…enjoy these.

Ain’t that a F’ing hoot?

Anyways, I understand the distinct differences in regards to the word “Fuck” and how it’s used in different situations (I chose to only type the word if absolutely necessary in this article, to me it’s not a chance to abuse the word but to expose it.) If I were to yell it in anger or in a crazed state (like when a Kenyan Communist was named President,) it is done so in anger and frustration, I’m not implying anything in a sexual nature. But it’s the way the word is distorted to “Fit” into a sexual nature, or even if someone is not mature enough to know how to exactly use the word if they wanted to do so, like say “Our” young children. Yep, kids of all ages watch tv and change channels and know how to use the radio. How could any of this backfire on our society? I dunno…ask the rappers how fast it took them to sabotage their own culture with suggestive lyrics and innuendos.

What a coincidence. The Powells both F’ing over the country at a time when they could have done the right thing to actually help the country.

First, Michael did so by making a decision that poisoned the moral fiber of the country with a long and repetitive trickle,

http://www.rcfp.org/newsitems/index.php?i=3863

then his Father supported a F’ing Communist who was running against his own party…because the Commie was/is/half black… his decision was more of a slap in the face to white people as opposed to his son’s slap in the face of this country’s basic moral fiber.

F’ing unbelievable huh? I have nothing against any of the shows or movies mentioned- I actually watch the shows regularly and Saving Private Ryan is in my top 10 films of all time, but they do not belong in the “mainstream” for our children to witness. Society is crumbling and with families using television as a “sitter” so to speak, our youth is being corrupted with a smile.

Thank the Powells for teaching our youth that vulgarity is acceptable in everyday use, and choosing sides based on skin color only is the correct thing to do.

Martin Luther King had a dream but it wasn’t in color. His dream was all about seeing the common shades of humanity. MLK wanted everyone, no matter the color, no matter the creed to have the same opportunity as anyone else and believed in the greatness of this country. He believed in joining together for the common goal of ending this country’s propensity to see people in terms of race instead of free men and sovereign citizens. He had a dream that [...one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."] Quite a few shared that dream: black, white, brown, yellow, but most importantly American. Although his personal experience revolved around the plight of the black community, his movement, his dream was about the equality of the human race, not necessarily just the black man. He envisioned equality  for all races, creeds, religions and sexes.

As the civil rights movement began to gain a footing, there was a group of people who took notice. They took notice of the growing dissent but saw it as insurrection instead. The societal norms of the day were under attack but they were helpless to act because of the growing public support for the movement itself. This group was the Democratic Party. The very same party that fought to keep the south segregated with Jim Crow Laws was starting to change direction. They voted down anti-lynching laws in the 20’s and led the longest filibuster in the history of Congress on the the Civil Rights Act of 1957 but were now starting to realize the status quo was losing them votes and popularity with the American People. The days of Al Gore Sr. and Strom Thurman were numbered.

There were  a few unintended consequences of this shift in the Democratic Party. Because of the change in direction, quite a few segregationists in the south viewed their pandering as treasonous and could no longer support the party they had been member’s of all their lives. Many were upset that their party was subsidizing and pandering to the very class of people they hated and wished to stifle. Because of this, many southern voters started voting Republican. They had two choices: stay with the party that no longer supported their ideology, or move to a republican party that didn’t support their segregationist stances but did support a strong national defense, fiscal responsibility and didn’t look to run the country into the ground by expanding the welfare state.  Because of this power sink, the Democrats revitalized the liberal name and started toting themselves as the party of the minority and the downtrodden. They pandered to minorities looking for King’s Dream with huge entitlement programs like Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society. It was FDR’s Black Cabinet all over again. FDR needed to steal the black vote from the Republican Party so he appointed an unofficial cabinet of black individuals to more powerful positions than any had ever seen before, although none were appointed to official cabinets and served in a more advisory role. Democrats in the south wouldn’t allow blacks to vote and most blacks viewed Democrats as having horns. FDR’s appointments coupled with huge entitlements  garnered a large shift in that sentiment. The Democrats were at it again, after votes and an expansion of their power base. Civil rights was the last thing on their minds.

King was grateful for the Emancipation Proclamation and the freedom that Lincoln had given his people but at the same time, saw the new chains that were placed on the ankles of the newly freed slaves. They went from the shackles of slavery to the economic shackles of unjust laws and deep seeded racist vitriol in the south. Blacks were free but lived as second class citizens in the south and in the slums of the northern cities, they lived in squalor. His dream was the unshackling of his people from the socioeconomic chains that bound them through the realization that all men, black or white, were equal in the eyes of our founding documents and in the eyes of God. He pointed to how our founders believed in the equality of men and built that into the charter of this great nation. He didn’t hate America and he didn’t blame our national structure or design for the plight he faced, He embraced it. He wanted everyone to have equal opportunity to shine and succeed. He wanted every person, no matter the race, to be seen as simply a man and an American.

he saw the lack of equality in American society as a check issued to the black community by Lincoln but which was returned NSF by the “bank of justice”. All he asked for was the honoring of the check, not special treatment or further economic bonds through the welfare state. He didn’t ask for preferential treatment because of a perceived unequal ability or opportunity. He asked for our hearts and minds, not political correctness or capital.

Under the guise of equality and justice, the black community was sold a bill of goods. Instead of changing hearts and creating equal opportunity, the Democrats responded to King’s plea’s with backhanded supplication and placation. If King were alive today, he would be appalled at the current state of affairs in this nation. The shackles of economic perpetuity has gone far beyond the insult of 40 acres and a mule.  If you give a man a fish, he eats for a day. If you teach a man to fish, he eats for life. King wanted a fishing pole and the right to use it, not just a market fresh fish wrapped in a northern newspaper.

I leave you with his fateful speech which he gave in 1963 in front of the Lincoln memorial. It moves me close to tears every time I hear it and I hope we all can take a lesson from his words. This includes Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson. I think they could use it more than most.

“And this will be the day — this will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with new meaning:
My country ’tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim’s pride,
From every mountainside, let freedom ring!
And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.”

- (I Have a Dream – August 28, 1963)

Race has always been a hot button topic in America. When race becomes an issue people are placed into groups and as a result, segregated from one another, the individual is forgotten. The Democratic Party is a master at this shell game of discrimination and blame passing. They blur the role of the individual by lumping everyone into groups and then determine which groups they feel are worthy and subjugate the others. History has shown that this elitist strategy has been a staple of the Democratic Party since the early 1800’s. It used to be slavery, then segregation but the bigotry has evolved into a fuzzier paternal form that keeps you warm and quiet. Any student of history can see this, unless you’re a Democrat in Congress.

As most of you are aware of, Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) was recently in the news this last week. He made some rather inflammatory and racist remarks about Barak Obama back in 2008 while Obama was running for President of the United States. Reid stated that he felt Obama had a distinct advantage because he was a “light skinned black” and could move in and out of a “negro dialect” with ease, alluding to the fact that a “real” black man would never get elected. This didn’t surprise me as much as some. However, I was surprised to see the lack of outrage and the subsequent meager media coverage. The Senator quickly issued an apology and all was forgiven. The President accepted his apology and the NAACP and Rev. Sharpton even came out in support of the Senator from Nevada. Isn’t that nice. Houdini made a little oopsie but all is better now. More like the Democratic Party just wanted it to go away before the Senate Majority Leader did anymore damage. Hurting as they are right now, they needed to squash any negative publicity they might get over Reid’s comments.

This reminds me of when, while toasting Strom Thurman at his birthday party, Trent Lott made deplorably racist comments in regards to Thurman’s 1948 bid for the White House as a segregationist. All three men deserve their own place in history as idiots and racists. I see no difference in the acts of Lott and Reid. The only difference here is that when Lott screwed up, the Republican Party strongly urged that he resign his position as the then Majority Leader in the Senate which eventually ended with Lott resigning his seat all together. Lott’s ideology was not in line with what the party stood for and they wanted him gone. When revelations about Reid’s comments came to light, he was urged to issue an apology and then to get back to business as usual. The Republicans saw the disease in their own party and had it lanced, the Democrats swept it under the rug as fast as possible and moved the shell with the peanut around a little more in the hopes Americans couldn’t follow it.

The Party of Thomas Jefferson has not always been the party of slavery. Jefferson argued that slavery was bad for both the slave and the slave owner but in the early 1800’s, as Vice President then later as a member of the House of Representatives, John C. Calhoun did a great job of turning that on its head. He argued “…the proposition ’all men are created equal’ as now understood, has become the most false and dangerous of all political errors….We now begin to experience the danger of admitting so great an error to have a place in the declaration of independence.” Calhoun, in essence, turned Jefferson’s party into the party of slavery. After the end of Reconstruction, the Democrats instituted Jim Crow laws which touted segregation with equal rights but led to inferior opportunities, facilities and treatment for blacks. While the Republican party was calling for anti-lynching laws in the 1920’s, the Democrats rejected such laws in their own platform with some even saying the lynching’s of blacks did not present a big enough issue to deserve consideration. Big government democrats like Wilson, FDR and LBJ are credited with “helping” the black communities in America with “assistance” while all three where staunch racists and used the welfare state as a way to subjugate and control the communities they publicly professed to want to help. An indicator of LBJ’s true nature came from his own mouth,

“These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don’t move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there’ll be no way of stopping them, we’ll lose the filibuster and there’ll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It’ll be Reconstruction all over again.” — Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (D, TX), 1957

The history of this Nation contains example after example of the racial bigotry within the Democratic Party. On the flip side, history has shown the Republican Party to be the party of racial equality and equal opportunity.

The voting record on civil rights speaks for itself. The Republican Party has history on its side and yet is always the first to be called racist by those on the left. The party of slavery seems to have cornered the market on recognizing bigotry.  I suppose when you have to look at yourself in the mirror every day, it’s easy to recognize. You’re a bigot if you disagree with the President. You’re a racist if you dare to suggest that the welfare state has done more bad than good for the black community. You’re intolerant if you dare to look beyond the cultural groupings forced on us by the Left and choose to see people for what they really are, individuals.

The Left needs race. The Democratic Party needs to see people in groups, cultural or racial. Without promoting this collective ideology, they would have to recognize people as individuals and therefore equal. With equality comes the destruction of their entire platform as a party and the end of their status as elites. It’s all a big shell game. They attempt to control minorities by using huge entitlement programs and pandering to race baiters like Sharpton and Jackson; denying the entire time that they were the people who created the problems in the first place. Their crimes are under the shell being whooshed around; move the shell to the middle by calling Republicans “old white men” and then to the right by pointing at Trent Lott and saying, “See I told you! THEY are the racists here!”  This is precisely why the free market scares the hell out of them and they attempt to destroy it on a daily basis. The market is economic freedom for those who want to go after it. It breaks everything down to the fruits of the labor of the individual, metered and rewarded by their individual effort. Success and failure falls on the back of one man, one woman. This kind of personal accountability doesn’t jive with their base ideology.  They would prefer us fat, stupid and placated; happy to be told how to live and what’s best for us and our families. They have kept the black community under their thumb through economic slavery for over 140 years. They saw how effective it was and now they are moving to place everyone else in the same position.

In the end, history is always the best witness and it has not been kind to the some. One only has to look as far as Senator Robert Byrd (D, VA), the oldest and longest serving Democrat in congress and a previous KKK member and recruiter. Because of the rise of the civil rights movement in the 1950’s, the Democrats moved from seeing blacks as a hindrance to seeing them as a controllable base of voters, but this was out of necessity. Many on the Left were predicting a race war and to appease those who they thought would wage war, LBJ created his Great Society, the largest single expansion of the welfare state in history.

There will always be racist individuals on both sides of the political spectrum and the Democrats are not the only party with problems. The key here is how the problems are dealt with. Sweeping the “ugly stuff” under the rug and then passing the blame only works for so long. Eventually their chickens will come home to roost.

It seems to me that there was much more to Harry Reid’s comments than a simple observation. This is just one man’s opinion but I think he was saying, “No matter what you do, you will never be one of us. You’re just another black man working in the House”.

If you think I’m wrong, feel free to enlighten me.

There it is!!!

Ever wonder what attracts certain people to you? Ever wonder if there is something that you may do or say that seems to attract the kind of person you wouldn’t loan a dollar to? I had to excommunicate someone from my Facebook page today. It’s just Facebook and I don’t really know the guy but what gets me is that he thought I would be OK with him calling Kanye West a porch monkey and then going off about black NFL and NBA players going to jail as soon as they get a contract and a white wife. Huh?! What part of sick and twisted racial bullshit does he not understand? But what I am more curious about is what I did to send him the signal that I would even entertain those thoughts on any level? In today’s day and age, I have to wonder what makes people still think it is OK to hate someone based solely on their skin color. What makes these people think it is OK to teach their children this hate and perpetuate the problem?

I wear many hats from day to day. Some would say I am a republican and some would say I am a libertarian. Some would say, for instance Homeland Security, that I am a right wing radical. One hat I will never wear is the white pointy one pictured above. One of the things that attracted me to the GOP was the fact that it was and still is the party of Lincoln. The republican party was the party of abolition and civil rights, the party of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The liberal progressive democrat party has always been the party of inequality and slavery. The party of welfare and placation. And yet we allow them to cram division down our throats by accepting that they will unite us through diversity. How does being different unite?! Racism is the most idiotic form of hatred there is. Differences, not just in skin color, is what makes our world an interesting place but emphasizing diversity just foreshadows what makes us similar and creates division. Forced diversity by the Secular Progressive movement has led to the division that exists today. Why do we concentrate on what makes us different, ignoring what makes us similar? Are we not all Americans? Are we not all members of the same race? The Human Race? It is considered by many in the black community a crime to “act white” but at the same time it is en vogue to “act black” by many young males in the white community. If we are to promote inclusiveness, should we not point out why we are all similar and build on our strengths collectively as Americans instead of trying to unify by singling people out according to their race? Shouldn’t we include everyone in the human race, not exclude some because of color on either side of the coin? At some point in time we need to come together or we will always be perpetually lost in this sea of diversity.

We should be considered diverse because of our individual strengths and weaknesses as human beings, not because we happen to fit into a racial or social demographic. We should be teaching our children to respect others and instill in them a love for humanity, the single most prevalent trait that we all share. If we don’t make race, gender or religion an issue and stress that ALL human being are created equal with natural rights set forth by the constitution, then future generations would have no excuse. The Sharptons, Jacksons and Pelosi’s of this world would love nothing more than to promote “racial diversity”. I think it’s time we rise above.
