Friday Follies...
Dad always said "If it's not ONE damn thing...it's ANOTHER", and some days I swear I can STILL hear him standing next to me saying that. And I'm glad he did.
-- Ok, so we now have our first Hispanic Supreme Court justice...let's hope she acts according to the LAW, and not anything else, hmm?
-- And the Cash for Clunkers (aka the Voluntary Repossession Scam) program has received ANOTHER TWO BILLION BUCKS to keep it "on the road" for the time being...(I keep hearing that little voice crying "suckers").
--The season premiere of POLICE WOMEN OF BROWARD COUNTY was on TLC last night (9PM EST), and I really like this show. The ladies can do the "cuff n stuff" REAL well, and as I like to say...NEVER underestimate the STATURE of an individual (when it comes to a takedown).
You have got to check this out, but be advised...the perps might resemble your neighbors (if you live in an area like MINE, anyway...LOL).
-- And if you're anywhere NEAR being a "Conservative" in our nation THESE days...you just might be an extremist. At least that's the way the MSM wants to PAINT you.
Gee, whatever happened to all this FIRST AMENDMENT stuff I learned about in school?
Seems back in the 70s, when ALL these HIPPIES were protesting the Vietnam war (and changing America's mind in the process, according to the writings of Sun Tzu) fomenting dissent in our nation, THEY were allowed to carry on, and the media was basically on their side.
But...when anyone from the "right" side of the fence decides something in government is amiss, or needs further scrutiny, they're all labelled "radicals"...(WTF?)
Last time I checked, a RADICAL was something akin to those jack-booted THUGS that were intimidating voters in Philly, using the guise of the New Black Panther Movement (which HAS already been called a RACIST group by the DoJ).
The MSM needs to cover this FAIRLY, and back the hell off. These town hall meetings include constituents of BOTH major political parties (and some with mainly DEMOCRATS) anyway, so it's not a "democrat" of "republican" things any longer.
I think all these politicians need to back the hell UP, spend some time in some BOOKS with their pudgy little primate faces READING the U. S. Constitution (which they swore an OATH to uphold and defend), listen to the PEOPLE (who voted them in...and can vote them the hell out JUST as quickly), and SHUT THE F$CK UP...PERIOD!
-- Now...if you live in Fort Wayne, you might have caught the story about Mayor Tom Henry's appointment of Vince Robinson to the city's PIO position. This should come as no surprise, because under Graham Richards' "reign", Robinson held the SAME job. And he did it damn well!
Now, Vince is one of those people that comes with some good credentials in his hip pocket. He's got former EXPERIENCE doing the job, and is currently Editor-in-Chief of the city's INK newspaper for the black community.
He even hosted the city's cable access shows years ago.
So, it would appear that Vince Robinson has what it takes to add diversity to the city AND do a commendable job as PIO...
BUT...
That's just NOT quite enough for one of our city councilmen, namely one GLYNN HINES (6th district - S/E side).
Mr. Hines is still under the delusion that AFFIRMATIVE ACTION is sorely needed everywhere...
Sorry to burst that bubble, Glynn, but if I go to a doctor for some sort of specialized surgery, I damn sure better have the PERSON BEST QUALIFIED, instead of a person who got the job because of a damn QUOTA system!
Hines would be better suited to travel MORE of his own people's neighborhoods in his district, look at all the squallor (by choice), the drugs, illegal guns, gangstas, saggy pants, non-working black males, and equally welfare-driven black females, and THEN tell me that THESE PEOPLE are every bit AS QUALIFIED as Mr. Robinson.
That dog just ain't gonna hunt for ME, Glynn!
I live surrounded BY "your people", and I see every damn day the type of behavior they display, and it's not something YOU, as a "leader" of the black community should be anywhere close to being PROUD of.
You SHOULD be doing something to CHANGE this mess called the S/E side (which is not spilling over into the south WEST side).
You should STOP crying "race" every damn time someone is put in any position in any department WHEN they are the BEST QUALIFIED. What part of that word "QUALIFIED" are you having trouble with, sir?
Take a damn look around your district at all this "so-called" poverty. Count up ALL the NEW vehicles owned by NON-WORKING people. Look at all the rentals owned by deadbeat landlords that HOUSE your people (thanks to section 8 and HUD housing) and how they've deteriorated, and tell me WHY none of "your" people can lift a damn paintbrush, or push a freaking lawnmower to cut the damn grass that's been cited by NCE for the umpteenth time.
Show to me that "your" people are NOT the lazy-asses I've come to know and have move all around me. Show me THEY are every bit AS WORTHY to have the same access to a $65K a year job (or ANY real job for that matter), when they can't get their sorry asses OUT OF BED until 11 AM.
Prove to me that "your" people are not motivated ONLY by entertainment, greed, and crime in these areas, when you know that to already BE THE TRUTH.
If you WANT rampant "diversity" (for diversity's sake)...I have one word for you...DETROIT.
That didn't pan out all that well for THAT city, did it?
Yeah, some people LOVE to play that "race card", don't they?
Well, maybe it's time for THAT "financial institution" those cards are issued from, to stop handing out ALL those "cards", because the REST of us can't afford that "interest rate".
In fact, we don't want anything to do with it.
It's YOUR mess...YOU created it...YOUR people can clean it the hell up.
Time to "man up" and get busy making REAL change, instead of waiting for another handout.
You know...someday, I'll have to say what I REALLY feel about this crap...LOL.
Gee...it's not as though other people see this going on. We do, and maybe, between THIS (in our cities across the nation), and all the garbage the Federal government is trying to force feed us in the name of "change" (into a *1984* state-run behemoth), it's a wonder ANY of us normal people have ANY shred of sanity left.
We're all being pulled in SO many directions today...being told SO many things...and having SO many programs thrown at us in such a short time, we barely HAVE any time to ourselves, let alone time to disseminate and digest ALL this information.
Is it by chance...or by design?
Well, every one of YOU have to make that call for yourselves.
I can only speak from what I know, what I learn, and what I believe.
Suffice it to say that we ARE living in times one could call "Historic" for MANY reasons.
Let us hope we can properly relate and preserve to these times, so that our future may learn from them.
So, have yourselves a great weekend, and...
Stay safe out there, America.
