As Racists Go, We are Rank Amateurs

"Meanwhile, tribal wars still rage across Rwanda, Sudan, Uganda, The Congo, Darfur and much of Africa where pre-teen boys are conscripted as soldiers and pre-teen girls are taken as their "child mothers." Tribal wars is just a nice way of saying race wars between races that look essentially the same.

Nothing like this has ever happened in our country and certainly is not happening today. Yet, Gates is all worried about racist cops and being burdened with being a "black man in America."

He should spend an afternoon as the white guy paired with Tiger, the Cablinasian-American.

The point is -- the United States -- all 57 of them -- have done more to correct our own racial wrongs than any nation in world history. We are way ahead of many nations much older than our little experiment in freedom and self-governance. Painful steps like the Civil War and the Republican led Civil Rights Act were forced corrections that simply moved the country more in line with our Constitutional principles of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

And the result is a country where whites and blacks are free to choose their own heroes and heroines. It works. Currently the best way for a white author to sell books to a white audience is to get added to a black woman's book club.

And nothing government did -- nothing that Jeremiah Wright preached -- or Professor Gates taught -- is relevant here at all. Or if it is relevant, it is only so as a negative force."

A Post-Racial Dear Leader?

"Those who were shocked at President Obama's cheap shot at the Cambridge police for being "stupid" in arresting Henry Louis Gates must have been among those who let their wishes prevail over the obvious implications of Obama's 20 years of association with the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Anyone who can believe that Obama did not understand what the racist rants of Jeremiah Wright meant can believe anything.

With race-- as with campaign finance, transparency and the rest-- Barack Obama knows what the public wants to hear and that is what he has said. But his policies as president have been the opposite of his rhetoric, with race as with other issues."

Obviously, Sarah Palin Wasn't the 'Correct' Type of Successful Woman

(TY to this guy for the cartoon link)

I've pretty much stayed away from all the Palin hoopla. I was impressed with her as Governor of Alaska, but as a V.P. candidate - er, not so much (and even less so with her running mate).

Politics is a dirty business, but I've never seen the torrential flood of political misogyny, religious bigotry & wishful violence spewed by the Left upon this one woman and her family.

I bet her small town girl eyes are wide open, now.

My guess is Palin's resignation hardly a curtain call. From a surprisingly sympathetic CNN:

" But even Palin's critics admire her ability to connect with the people, Benet said.

"I don't think I've ever really met anyone like that, expect maybe Bill Clinton, that will have that interpersonal eye contact with you and will remember your name and your kids' names, and make small talk with you and be really sincere about it," he said.

Benet predicted that while Palin might take a short break to recoup once she hands off power on Sunday, "she'll be back in the public eye."

"I do see her turning this to her advantage," he said, noting that she's made a similar move before."

Hmm. I wonder if the RNC is looking for a new Chairman?

Just kidding, Michael!

Oh, and as for last night's me-me-me-me-messer? Lucianne says it best:

"Expecting a feast we got, "language so poll-tested and focus-grouped, it was bleached of life," and inedible. The only spice in the one flavor meal? A pinch of race card powder."

Update: And, per usual, some ever vigilant correspondents reported the event as dispassionate as ever: NBC's Snyderman: 'I Was Rooting for the President to Hit a Home Run'.

But there is no media bias!

Medical Care Confusion

"There are facts about the massive government-run medical programs already in existence in the United States-- Medicare, Medicaid and veterans' hospitals-- as well as government-run medical systems in other countries.

None of the people who are trying to rush government-run medical care through Congress before we have time to think about it are pointing to Medicare, Medicaid or veterans' hospitals as shining examples of how wonderful we can expect government medical care to be when it becomes "universal.

As for those uninsured Americans we keep hearing about, there is remarkably little interest in why they don't have insurance. It cannot be poverty, for the poor can automatically get Medicaid."

Ladies & gentlemen, the brilliant Thomas Sowell.

Senate democrats vote NO to include themselves in Obamacare legislation.

"On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn that would require all Members and their staffs to enroll in any new government-run health plan. Yet all Democrats -- with the exceptions of acting chairman Chris Dodd, Barbara Mikulski and Ted Kennedy via proxy -- voted nay."

Ah, liberal condescension at its finest.

Bravo to Republican Tom Coburn for shining a light on all the cockroaches.

Plus, MM looks inside the monstrous (and I contend, wicked) Obamacare bureaucracy.

"Because 32 “czars” isn’t enough, the Democrat plan would add another overlord to the Obama administration. The new “Health Choices Commissioner” would helm the new “Health Choices Administration” (Section 141 of the bill) – separate from the already existing Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (formerly the Health Care Financing Administration), the Veterans Health Administration, and the Indian Health Service.

Because the government has done such a boffo job managing the near-bankrupt Social Security and Medicare Trust Funds, the Democrats have proposed creating a “Public Health Investment Fund” and a “Health Insurance Exchange Trust Fund.” The latter would create a “transparent and functional marketplace for individuals and small employers to comparison shop among private and public insurers.”

No matter that state insurance departments already operate such systems. Health care must be “fixed.” The federal cure is redundancy."

Now, bend over and let Dear Leader continue his work!

Blurred Lines: Liberals, Progressives, Fascists and Commies

"I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: the progressive movement’s sole aim is control.

Democrats: "A Criminal Org. Masquerading as a Political Party"

DR over at DB has a link round-up (and the source for that great quote).

If not for his money and fame, Michael Jackson would probably have died in prison.

And if he was a Republican, all this would have been mercifully thrown down the memory hole within 48 hours.

"But since his death, it's been wall-to-wall "Michael Jackson was a genius" coverage on American TV. I needed the fresh park air because I was feeling nauseated from another day of this endless canonization. Music legends like Berry Gordy, Smoky Robinson, Justin Timberlake and Madonna painting halos over this self-loathing freak who butchered his own naturally handsome face, bleached his noble dark skin white and then paid other human beings to walk two steps behind him carrying umbrellas over his head in the California sunshine.

It was downright laughable to watch Al Sharpton, the man who has yet to apologize for perpetuating the Tawana Brawley hoax, going on 'Good Morning America' to say he was advising the Jackson family on how to protect Michael Jackson's legacy.

Excuse me, Rev, but a HUGE part of that legacy is that Michael Jackson had a disturbing fixation on prepubescent boys."

Yes. I'm done speaking ill of the dead...

Don't be so quick to make McNair a hero

by Jason Whitlock

"We can quit calling Steve McNair a great leader now. Leadership starts at home.

And I'm no longer all that interested in hearing about the community service work McNair did in Tennessee and Mississippi. Service to community begins at home, too.

If you read this column regularly, you know I'm not the morality police, you know I'm far from bothered by McNair's May-December romance and you probably should've surmised I get my "Becky on" from time to time.

Stop reading now if your preference is sugar-coated, politically-correct, phony-ass pontificating. You can find plenty of that garbage littering the Internet.

I'm going to get knee deep in this Steve McNair tragedy and what it really signifies."

Too bad no one of note has the stones to do that with the drug addled, pedophile pervert freak show taking place inside the Staples Center today.
