Tea Party stands on priniciple and boo big government Republicans

"Tea Party protesters have little sympathy for big government Republicans who voted for the Bush/Obama banker bailouts or support the Obama 'stimulus' trillion dollar debt bill."

Obama is wrong

"Even after his first day as the president of USA, Obama looked bizarre and deceiving to me. After just one month, I realized why I felt like that. Obama lied during his campaign. I am going to give you a list and you'll be the judge. He has done the total opposite of what he said that he will do.

"1. He said that after he'd won the elections, he will bring home the troops in Iraq in 6 months. Now, the term is set at 26 months. There are already 5000 American soldiers dead and almost 1.000.000 Iraqis! Now ask yourself, why is he doing this?

"2. Immediately after the elections he sent 30000 soldiers to Afghanistan. Is this a man who wants a change? And he is going to do it, again, with guns?

"3. He said that he will close the Guantanamo prison. Now, there are reports that prisoners are taken into other foreign countries and tortured. Obama is making the dictatorial regime of secret arrest, secret prisons and detention without trial. Obama is not only endorsing Bush's crimes, but continuing them.

"4. Did you check out his staff? 90% are Wall-Street man. Those who made this crisis are now in the government! This is the first time when we don't have any engineer, social adviser in president's staff. Instead, we have doctors in economy who seems to have no clue about the real events around the world. Only lobbyist there!

"5. Obama said he was upset with the bailout. How, in God's name he could when the bailout was engineered by Rahm Emanuel, an American born in Israel, chief of his staff.

"6. Global warming. After feeling the president's chair underneath him, Obama issued over 100 new taxes for green purposes. But wait a minute, who said that man is the real cause of global warming? Gore has built a 'green money making machine'. Remember, it's not the global warming but the THEORY of it. There is nothing sure yet...

"7. Here is one sentence from a directive of the Ministry of Defence : 'Civilian Expeditionary force shall deploy in support of combat operations by the military.' He is building a separate army outside the government that will follow only Obama's orders. If you have over 18, you MUST make 3 month of military training.

"8. Forget about the Free Speech! There are going to be laws for controlling the news and Internet sites so that you won't be able to "plot" against Obama!

"9. The National Coordinator of Health is going to tell you what treatments are good for you or what medicines ar bad. Those who use alternative medicine, be aware, you'll going to be outlaws!

"10. Obama is encircling China, Iran and Russia. He is also setting bases in Africa, he is going to dominate Africa throw Africa Command. His cousin, Odinga, is a dictator in Kenya and has Obama's full support...

If Obama Doesn't Prosecute Bush's Torture Team, We'll Pay a Big Price Down the Road

"Obama isn't likely to pursue torture atrocities during the Bush era, but this is one problem you simply can't wish away."

Current TV reporters Laura Ling and Euna Lee face jail in North Korea

"In a state 'guest house' on the outskirts of Pyongyang, Laura Ling and Euna Lee have been held for more than a month: valuable pawns in an growing international nuclear stand-off.

"Hanging over the heads of the American journalists is the possibility of a show trial and ten years in a notoriously harsh North Korean prison camp. The outside world knows little about how they are holding up — because North Korea is not saying and the United States, while trying to free them through diplomacy, has tried to impose a blanket of silence.

"The signs, though, are not good for the employees of Current TV, a web-based television channel founded by Al Gore, the former US Vice-President, because their future appears bound up in the widening rift between Pyongyang and much of the rest of the world over its recent missile launch. The reclusive regime of Kim Jong Il has halted all talks and expelled international experts monitoring its nuclear activities after the United Nations condemned its decision to fire a rocket over Japan. "

Will Obama let them rot in jail???

Romancing the Jihad

"Ask those on the Left what values they champion, and they will say equality, tolerance, women’s rights, gay rights, workers’ rights, and human rights. Militant Islamists oppose all that, not infrequently through the application of lethal force. So how does one explain the burgeoning Left-Islamist alliance?"

Loooooove Those Comments!

"Everything Obama has promised is slowly being pissed away......"

"Is anyone really surprised at his actions?"

"I'm disappointed and unsurprised. Politicians usually promise more than they can deliver, but it seemed that Obama could deliver reconciliation and honesty. Of course there are poltical pressures against revealing too much, but they are not national security concerns, except to the extent that CIA big shots could torpedo elements of US foreign policy. It just seemed to many of us that a President Obama would heal many more of the Bush era wounds, and now he is just deepening them and wasting his political capital. He erodes the support of his voters every time he backs a Bush era policy and he puts into doubt his own stated concerns for the Constitution, civil rights, habeas corpus, and much more. Sigh!"

"The more things 'Change' the more they stay the same."

"Just another day in the Bush administration... oh wait!"

"'... that releasing all the memos could help terrorists train to endure the most extreme interrogation techniques.' That line really pisses me off, what else could extreme interrogation techniques mean besides torture, and if we don't torture then why would it matter if they trained for it."

"Boy sure didn't see this coming. lol"

"Change you can believe in! I still can't believe so many on the left fell for a chant and actually voted for this guy. They actually believed that he was going to be different... sad, in a pathetic sort of way."

"These changes are making me thirsty."

"CHHAAAANNNGE!! 'yes we can... continue the failed policies of the past!!'" (My favorite)

"Hehehe....HAHAHehehehe.....he's just another Bush. When will you people wake up."

"the Damn Bush was so awful that 0bama must wiretap and torture. will the Bush MADNESS never end?"

"will you people make up your mind first you want Obama to go after the bad bad evil baby killer bush then when he says he is not then you say oh maybe it would not look good to go after bush in light of the mess we are in .I hope you paid att to the tea partys they are not going to get any smaller they are going to get bigger (this president has had the worst 90 days of any president ever) the tingly fellings in your legs are they still there? god help us"

Janeane Garofalo and me (AND I HOPE SHE READS THIS)

First click this link http://www.urbanconservative.com/2009/04/17/janeane-garofalo-calls-teabaggers-racist-rednecks-who-hate-black-people/#comment-21625

I sent a gentle email to Countdown at MSNBC because I want to contact Ms Garofalo:

"HELLO

"I have some questions for her. Please tell her she is wacked out on her statements of the Tea Parties.

"Racism? I'm black and from Chicago, the most segregated city in the North. When I was younger in the 60's, a large stone came through our house because we moved into a new neighborhood. (By the way, these were not the "racist Republicans." These were all white Democrats. Were not the white Democrats supposed to love black people?) I have experienced racism up close and personal many times in Chicago, all white Democrats, even on a daily basis at one time. I have even been "Heil Hitlered" by Neo-Nazis.

"When it comes to racism, I was out on the playing field getting knocked down for years. She was sitting in the nosebleed section of the bleachers just watching and eating hotdogs and going home unscathed. Her attempt to somehow sympathize with black people is very pathetic and very phony. She is only fooling herself with her rhetoric.

"Racism is only a nice spectator sport for her.

"If she really cared about black people, she would have been outraged about the four black students shot in New Jersey where she is from. Three of them died. But I did not hear a sound from her. As a matter of fact, here is what I found on Google: "Your search - 'Janeane Garofalo' 'black students shot' - did not match any documents." It was on the news everyplace. What is she doing to stop the deliberate destruction of the black community? Her actions speak so loud I cannot hear a word she says.

"I dare say, if she was offered a million dollars to change her skin color to my color, she would not do it. Please tell her that for me. She benefits from the same white privilege that she pretends she is against. How clever. I know blacks much better than her and we can see that through that phoniness, but she cannot. She is completely blind yet touts herself as an expert in racial relations.

"If you can give her my phone number I would appreciate it. It is XXX-XXX-XXXX. She needs to learn what racism is about from one who has experienced it and knows more about it than she would care to know."

Now if you happen to be a white Janeane Garofalo fan who agrees with her, you are going to take this and like it:

The same goes for you. Until you have walked 51 years in my shoes, you are completely clueless about racism. I experienced racism on a daily basis for 4 years when I was in high school in Chicago. When I wanted to visit a white friend in a fraternity at the University of Illinois, I was told by one of the frat brothers "We don't want any trouble here," and he turned me away. I had a racist boss in Ohio and that was not my choice. When I was walking a street in Texas, I heard from a car “Hey, you’re a nigger!” and “Hooray for niggers! Hooray for niggers!” I was even turned away from a motel in Canada because of my skin color. And I repeat, over 95% of racism I encountered was from WHITE DEMOCRATS and not Republicans. What does that say about you?

You all sit with Ms. Garofalo in the nosebleed section of the bleachers while I played on field taking the blows. You think you are the experts in racism? You have the gall to talk about who is racist and who is not. You white Garofalo fans would not trade places with me, to go through what I have gone through and probably will go through. You white Garofalo fans criticize white Republicans and conservatives but just like Garofalo, you also benefit from white privilege and you would not give that up yourselves. I was born and raised in Chicago, a racist city, where I heard little boys on the street near White Sox Park say “White Power! White Power!” By the way, that was a 100% Democratic neighborhood.

I have the utmost authority to say who is racist and who is not. I can also tell who are the white phonies who claim they love black people but don't realize they don't fool me. I have lived through racism. You have no authority whatsoever to flippantly call people racist.

Sit down and shut up.
