Well the question certainly has been answered, the mostly white electorate voted in the Rethugs again, along with some new anarchist Teabaggers. These are the same Rethugs that offshored the jobs and plundered the treasury that supported the middle class the past 40 years, and sent the economy headed straight to the bottom.
As they usually do to blacks, they gave Obama the worst job - to clean up the wreckage left behind by the Bush criminals. They admit he averted the crash, (and he also reduced Bush's $1.4 trillion deficit by $200 billion), but their inner racist redneck DNA couldn't stand the fact that he is black and occupying their white house (the color symbolism is inescapable). So in less than 2 years, they gave the House back to the criminals who savaged the economy in the first place, and in so doing they got rid of 2 of the most progressive middle class advocates in Congress - Russ Feingold and Allan Grayson.
How stupid is that? - Stupid is as Stupid does!
Note to Dems and the President: you deserved to lose.....
You were not progressive at all - you preferred to try and compromise with the Rethugs and water down everything to appease them. What did it get you? - not one of their votes!- and a loss of control of the House..
You stupidly did not include a Public Option when you had a chance to - instead you passed a watered-down Healthcare bill without one Repug vote! So it's clear you could have included it, but didn't.
You had a chance to investigate and ban the privately owned Diebold voting machines, but you didn't, so now you will never know how many votes were stolen from you and if your loses were real or faked.
You did not investigate the crimes of the Bush regime when you had the House, so now the Rethugs will investigate you and maybe impeach you.
You allowed that spineless, gutless, Harry Reid to be the Senate leader and he kowtowed to every filibuster the Rethugs threw at him. He didn't have the balls for the job and you knew it, but you let him have it anyway.
And to rub salt in the wound - Tim Scott, the first black Representative since Reconstruction was elected in So. Carolina as a Teabagging Repug, and he vows to repeal your Healthcare Legislation.
Good luck the next two years - you did not take enough progressive stances that would have energized the Progressive Independents to come out and vote - so you lost. You're now stuck with the Moderates, the DNC, the Blue-Dog Dems, and the Teabaggers who hate you - you deserve them all.
And today you said you would compromise with the Rethugnants who now rule the House. Less than 1 hour later, the winning Teabagging anarchist, Marco Rubio said, "hell no! - no compromise, we're sticking to our principles", and sambo Michael Steele parroted the same rebuff, "we're sticking to our principles!"
So Obama you've been kicked again because you still haven't learned that it's not just politics with your enemies, it's ideology and principle, and they (unlike you), don't compromise on those....

Tea-Partyers, Sports and Politics
Professional Sports and Politics are two minefields that blacks have always had to tread very softly and carefully in. Those blacks that have risen to the top in these areas, have always had to live with the possibility of being targeted, scorned, slandered, rebuffed or undermined, because whites cannot accept blacks that have gotten too big or too rich, particularly if they are bigger and richer than they.
What does Randy Moss, Donovan McNabb, Allen Iverson, Tiger Woods, President Obama, Terrell Owens, Michael Vick, Tarvaris Jackson, Martin Luther King, Albert Hanesworth, LeBron James, Maxine Waters, Ron Washington, Adam Clayton Powell, Plaxico Burress, have in common? - they were or are, prominent black sports or political figures who had gotten too big, too rich, or both, and have been censured and slandered by the populist mindset that says, "when it comes to these blacks, we're taking back our sports and country back, by bringing them down!"
And what were they trying to bring them down for? - mostly for being too outspoken, unfairly scapegoated, minor infractions made into major outrages, slanderous and untrue characterizations, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, bad choices, etc., - things whites routinely got a pass on, or if criticized, it was done very minimally and reluctantly.
Ever since President Obama announced his intent to run for President in 2007, you could feel the palpable resentment towards blacks in general gradually begin to build. And when it was clear that he had a better than even chance to win, it really intensified for blacks across the board.
Now, just 20 months into his presidency, you can easily see the white Tea-Party backlash of hate, fear, resentment and ignorance, that has spread to black sports figures as well as to other black politicians. The Tea party racist mindset has always been there, but since the Civil Rights Era, it had largely lay dormant until Reagan opened the door for it to emerge again with some respectability in the 1980s.
Now in spite of President Obama's reduction of Bush's $1.416 trillion deficit to $1.291 trillion, his Stimulus program creating $1.4 million jobs, and his tax cuts going to 90% of the citizens, he is being pilloried for losing the House, barely holding on to the Senate, and a high unemployment rate.
And worse, the Rethugs who almost sank the ship of state under Bush, have been empowered again by the racist Teapartyers and their enablers, who lost the most before, and have the most to lose now.
Most of them had their 'wealth' in their homes, other real estate, and their pension funds. From 2006-2009 that wealth declined a staggering $14 trillion under Bush!!
Karma is truly a bitch and history WILL repeat itself....

Whom Do You Trust...In?
Next Tuesday is being billed as the real referendum on President Obama's 21 months in office. During this time he has been slandered as a communist, socialist, anarchist, anti-colonialist, fascist, racist, Kenyan, anti-American, anti-freedom loving, Anti-Christ, interloper and usurper of the office of the President. The other names he has been called, can easily fill this page if they were to be all listed.
If the MSM pundits are to believed, he has earned a dismal C- on his report card, his poll numbers are at an all-time low, and he will be rebuked by his party's loss of control in both the House and the Senate. This is their view in spite of the fact that he has accomplished more legislatively, and in the shortest amount of time, than any previous president in our history.
Yet amid all the Repugnant obstructionism to his policies, their treachery in opposing life saving programs like National Health Care for all citizens, their opposition to extending unemployment benefits to suffering families, etc., it appears that the majority of white Americans will stupidly and ignorantly choose to return control again to the party that savaged and disbanded their middle class status, especially during the 20 yr. reign of the Reagan, Bush I and Bush II regimes. How stupid is that???
And as much as blacks are constantly maligned and marginalized as worthless simpletons, at least they have had the intelligence and smarts to vote consistently and overwhelmingly for those leaders who had their best middle-class interests at heart. In my lifetime that would be Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, LBJ, Carter, Clinton, and Obama.
Next week blacks will again vote overwhelmingly for President Obama and the Dems as the best bet to fix the wreckage left behind by Bush and his band of war criminals. We'll see how many so-called superior whites and their Asian and Latino allies, will be smart enough to also vote in their best interests, or will they hasten their own destruction by voting for and installing a host of ignorant Tea-bagging anarchists and racists to govern them instead.
60 million of them choose the pathetic, moronic duo of Palin and McCain in 2008, how many will vote next week for imbeciles similar to or worst than these two?
I guess in a few days we'll find out how smart they really are....
And in spite of them, I can't forget that Jesus prayed, "Thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven..."
This is who and what I trust in, no matter what they do at the polls next week...

The Tangled Web of Sexual Offenders
I just wrote about the porn-based sexual harassment of Anita Hill by Clarence Thomas, and his wife's recent attempt to extort an admission from Hill that she lied on her husband.
The ink was barely dry when NPR analyst, Juan Williams, tried to pander to Fox's right-wing nuts via the O'Reilly show, and say that he has this fear of anyone dressed as a Muslim when he travels. Besides it being a punkish, idiotic and stupid thing to say in trying to gin-up anti-Muslim fervor, it also reminded me that not only has Juan been a right-wing ideologue masquerading as a liberal for many years, but he too has a checkered past that intersects with Clarence Thomas around the same time of his confirmation hearings in the early 90s.
Just after the hearings started, Juan wrote an Op-Ed in the Washington Post accusing Anita Hill of lying about being sexually harassed by his buddy, Clarence Thomas. What he and the Post failed to disclose, was that he had just been accused of the same kind of sexual harassment by 50 of his female colleagues at the Washington Post newspaper where they worked. To keep his job he was forced to write an apology which was printed in the paper. So his attack on Hill on Clarence Thomas' behalf was bogus, disingenuous and self-serving. He like Thomas were two peas in a pod when it came to the unwanted acts of sexually harassing females.
So his firing from NPR for violating his contract terms prohibiting him from appearing on Fox programs while being identified as an NPR analyst, was justified and long over due. Not only was he justly fired from NPR, but he should never have been hired by them in the first place, considering his sordid background. He also should have been fired from the Washington Post 20 years ago, for a far more serious lack of good judgment. Is it a coincidence that his present and past misbehavior have come to light again, around the same time that his buddy's sordid past has been uncovered and exposed to the light again? - I think not!
...Let's just call it well-deserved Karma for both of them, that was way past and long over-due! They both should be listed as registered sex offenders in the National Database which tracks those things.

A Cheating Thomas? - No Doubt!
Apparently old uncle Thomas did! - not only did Anita Hill testify to the kinky fetishes and sexual harassment by the married head of the EEOC, but now 19 years later, a former girlfriend who admits she was intimate with him, believes every word of Anita's testimony and corroborates it. She also remembers his obsession with porn and his fixation on the bra sizes of his female employees. He even had her come to the EEOC offices to check out Anita Hill, perhaps as a prelude to a future 3-way group orgy that he was fantasizing about.
This is the black slime ball that Papa Bush nominated and installed to replace the venerable and scholarly Thurgood Marshall, on the Supreme Court. A black face, with a lust to be white, married to a white woman, and sexually harassing black women - this was the wreckage that blacks were insulted with and affronted with as a replacement for Marshall. This was the right-wing's middle-finger to blacks and the progress won by the Civil Rights movement that Thurgood was so much a part of, and responsible for the legal side of.
It would not be a stretch to believe that his wife Ginny, either made that call to Anita because of her Tea-bagging hatred of blacks in general and Anita in particular, or to embarrass her cheater husband, or because she was in an alcoholic stupor early in the morning of last Saturday. How else can you explain such an unseemly and ill-conceived phone call threat, by the wife of one of the justices of the Supreme Court?
Yea, uncle Thomas, you thought you got away with denying what happened, and you thought that your depraved history of porn-fueled sexual harassment would never catch up with you, but your wife opened the door for all the world to see and remember. Perhaps she tired of your kinky fixations and can no longer measure up to them nor tolerate them anymore. Or perhaps her Tea bagging activities requires her to 'out' the nearest negro as part of their racist mind-set and agenda. So tag, you're it! - Yes, maybe that's it!...
With these latest revelations, the Senate body which confirmed him, should now consider charging him with perjury and lying under oath. Then they should impeach him and remove him from the bench. But alas, Harry Reid doesn't have the cojones to buck the right-wingers in the Senate, so they won't do anything. It also would be nice if Thomas had the inner decency and integrity to resign since he's been exposed as a liar and a pervert, but that won't happen either.
So we're stuck with him for the short term, unless or until the Higher Power decides to remove him permanently - let's hope and pray for that....

Palin for Pres.???? - lol !
From her reckless but admitted insistence on traveling by air from Texas to Alaska AFTER her water broke; to the down-syndrome child that was born and that she claims is hers, but others believe it secretly belongs to her abstinent daughter; to her ranting about abstinence-only for others, while this same 16 yr. old daughter was getting f****d and pregnant, AGAIN; to her astonishing revelation that she doesn't read newspapers; to her incoherent speech patterns that highlights how ignorant she really is; to her insistence on being interviewed only by fawning, sympathetic enablers like Fox faux-News; to her appalling ignorance of the fact that Africa is a Continent composed of over 40 countries, rather than being just one country; to her quitting her job as Governor of Alaska, midway through her term of office; to the large deficit she ran up and left to her city of Wasila while she was Mayor - this is the laughable, lip-sticked face of the TeaParty Express and would-be candidate for President, in 2012.
America is rightfully the laughing-stock of the world after this nut-job garnered 60 million votes as VP on one of the worst presidential pairings in over 100 years of political campaigns. Now to think that to millions and millions, she is still considered a credible, viable presidential candidate, is beyond comprehension, but illustrates that being a racist, being pathetically and pitifully ignorant, and being a sociopath and pathological liar as well, are notable christian virtues to her many supporters - ask Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly, and Beck, how well it has worked for them.

LeBron, the President, and Us
Yesterday, a baseball fan of the Cleveland Indians, went to the game with his sister while wearing a Miami Heat basketball jersey with Lebron's #6 on it.
The so-called fans near them, became enraged upon seeing LeBron's jersey, and started directing derision, curses and spittle at the young couple. Finally security had to come and rescue them by escorting them out amid cat-calls, curses, objects being thrown etc. Fortunately they were white, but had they been black, who knows, there may have even been an attempted lynching.
Welcome to America, LeBron fans, and a further wake-up call to you, LeBron. You have been demonized for exercising your rights to free agency and making the decision to play elsewhere next season. For that lawful decision, you have reverted to being the big-black n***** that the Cleveland trash always felt you were, but kept quiet about because you were so useful to them. Now that you have gone, they feel free to vent their racial angst on you and anyone else that identifies with you.
But don't get it twisted, you are just experiencing a part of the larger picture of racist hate being directed at the President of the U.S. Racist America is now in full bloom with their slanderous, racist depictions of Obama as a communist, socialist, maoist, hitlarian fascist - all because he has the temerity to be BLACK and occupying their WHITE house. Even many who voted for him have now reverted to their basic racist instincts, and are now in full-scale revolt now that the pitifully ignorant and inept Bush, followed by the cartoonish and pathetically stupid, Palin and McCain, are no longer a threat to their survival. So it's clear that many of the white voters for Obama were merely the lesser-of-two-evil voters, with dumbbells Palin and McCain being the greater of the evils then.
Whatever negatives black celebrities, athletes, and just plain black folks are experiencing now, is the run-off from what is being directed at the black President by the racist minions who call themselves 'true' Americans. Their mask is off now - it took a Harvard educated Lawyer, Professor and Senator, to expose how they really feel about educated, intelligent blacks who have pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps and achieved the pinnacle of the American dream and political power. They feel no better about the President and his Harvard educated wife, than they feel about the despised and demonized lower classes of blacks who they have permanently consigned to the social underclasses.
And worse, these racists are predominantly people who call themselves good 'christians', but can't even dredge up a smidgen of Christianity when it comes to black folks - whether weak or strong, rich or poor, educated or uneducated.
So you see, LeBron, we and you, have much more in common with the President, than we ever could have imagined.
