Did the IOC Prevent a Harmful Repeat of History?

Note from Sam: My friend Javier Hernandez sent this to me and I hoped to post it prior to the Olympics decision. I guess the IOC didn't buy into the cult of personality...despite Oprah's presence.

The 1893 W.C.E. and The Olympic Burden: Inaugurating Another 100 Years of Segregation and Racial Politics

by Javier Hernandez

I don't know who to contact about my concern over Chicago hosting the Olympics. The price tag alone would have the state reconsider, the city doesn't seem to have much a say in the matter, but maybe the glitter of the Olympics summed up in one person will raise a few eyebrows.

How to Smear a Liberal Political Figure

by Sam Pierce

Opponents of redistributive "Change" and the subjugation of the productive have been given a lesson in "smearing" liberal political figures. In what seems an odd twist, it was the lib political figures and their rabid propaganda outlets that provided the lesson. It would also appear that the task of "smearing" a modern liberal (Statist cretin) is relatively a simple one given the technology that exists to record and preserve his or her comments and actions. Of course, it is reasonable to expect "Big Brother" Barry to work on the accessibility of information to the general public as his idea of transparency is to tightly control the bits of information that are allowed to be scrutinized.

To Alcohol: The Solution to Every Problem

by Teri O'Brien

Yesterday’s “beer summit” was an attempt to reposition the inexperienced empty suit B. Hussein Obama, a man who built his entire career on exploiting white guilt and otherwise race baiting, and who spent 20 years nodding in agreement with a screeching raving racist lunatic in the Church of the Black Panther, as the Great Uniter, hoping to foster understanding and healing, with the amen chorus of media lapdogs all playing along.

It’s like Perez Hilton presiding as the god-like wise neutral third party over a make-nice beer soiree between Mayor Stu and the angry parents who protested his decision to wear a halter top and mini skirt to address a group of teenagers. (Yes, I said “his” intentionally. If you don’t know the story, please click here.)

Key Democrat Constituency: Convicts

by Sam Pierce

To the casual observer, our federal government would seem to be spinning out of control. To the more attentive observer, it is clear that the spin is intentional. What can one possibly expect when the leadership of the House and Senate has such a high concentration of particulate feces? Then consider the crowning jewel or plastic cherry atop the Statist Sundae, B. Hussein Obnoxious, as official reader of TOTUS and it is clear that the powers that be do not want what is best for our nation.

Barack's partner in The Chicago Annenberg challange, Bill "Unrepentant Domestic Terrorist/Guilty As Hell, Free As A Bird" Ayers must be proud that the infiltration of his radical ilk into the education system has brought the nation to this point. Imagine if the education system had not been hijacked by the likes of The Weather Underground. Imagine if public schools actually taught the negative impact of FDR's idiocy. Imagine if the late Walter Cronkite hadn't inspired generations of biased "journalists". Without these subversive elements our nation would have been deprived the majesty of the Obamas, for substance would have precluded their rise to the top.

Off the TelePrompTer, Into the Fire (Again)

by Teri O'Brien

We have seen in the past what happens when inexperienced, unqualified, arrogant, narcissistic celebutards allow the incessant fawning of the sycophants who surround them and cater to their every whim to create the illusion that they are the most perfect, brilliant, special creatures on earth and that every word they utter is oozing with wisdom and insight. Hilarity ensues, often in the form of unfortunate remarks that they make when they speak without a script written by someone more intelligent than they are…, like, say, like a dolphin. 

So it goes with the Celebutard-in-Chief, B. Hussein Obama. Let’s review a partial record, shall we?Mocking the helpless, elderly widow of President Reagan by making reference to seances, “Special Olympics,” stating that 1000 people were killed in a Kansas tornado because the National Guard with otherwise occupied in Iraq (the actual number was 12), “above my pay grade,” and of course “57 states.” I think I realize now why he picked Joe Biden as his running mate. Biden is the only guy who puts his foot in his mouth more often than Sham WOW.

Senate Apologizes for Things They Didn't Do

by Sam Pierce

Although I'm sure there are some senators such as former KKK member Robert Byrd (D - WV), who would have liked to own slaves, I suggest no American alive has ever owned a slave and that no American alive has ever been a slave! Slavery was atrocious, but we did not commit the act, so why should we apologize? Apparently the lying-about-my-military-record-because-I-want-to-be-President idiot from Iowa, Tom Harkin wants to make a spectacle out of apologizing for slavery.

Should Racism be Mandated?

by Sam Pierce

That sounds like a stupid question… unless you think about the regulations that liberals support in order to perpetuate victim groups and grow their voter bases. Still, it should be a stupid question, because how could mandating racism be justified? Ahh, the wonders of the liberal mind and its associated warping. Consider the following from AP via Brietbart:

Reverse discrimination case could transform hiring.

This week, the Supreme Court will consider the reverse discrimination claim of Marcarelli and a group of white firefighters. They all passed a promotion exam, but the city threw out the test because no blacks would have been promoted, saying the exam had a “disparate impact” on minorities likely to violate the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Besides affecting how race can be considered in filling government and perhaps even private jobs, the dispute also addresses broader questions about racial progress: Do minorities and women still need legal protection from discrimination, or do the monumental civil rights laws that created a more equal nation now cause more harm than good?

As a way of answering the the above question, I offer “duh.” It appears that “civil rights” mandates often demand discrimination on behalf of minorities.

NAACP 100th Anniversary: Exploiting Color Instead of Erasing It

Southern Illinois University history professor Jonathan Bean's recent piece in US NewsNAACP's history and how i briefly reviews the t's rich legacy has been skewed in contemporary teachings.  From the professor's enlightening op-ed:

The history of the NAACP is usually presented as a story of triumphant radicalism. School children learn about the contributions of NAACP founder W.E.B. DuBois but do not learn that DuBois quit the NAACP in the mid-1930s, joined the Communist Party, and left the country for self-exile in Africa.

Do we need a Senate quota?

by Sam Pierce

Are Senator Roland Burris’ supporters actually supporters of the senator? Not if they share the opinion of his media consultant, Delmarie Cobb.

From AP News via: TheTelegraph:

CHICAGO (AP) — The black community should help rehabilitate U.S. Sen. Roland Burris’ battered image so he can be elected to a six-year term, then work to find an African-American successor, according to talking points prepared by the senator’s new media consultant.

In a note sent to a member of the City Council’s Black Caucus and later posted on an Internet blog, Delmarie Cobb made it clear she believes the main objective of the black community, regardless of how some might feel about Burris, should be to keep a black person in President Barack Obama’s former Senate seat.

Burris is the only black U.S. senator.

Letter to Editor from 11th Ward GOP Committeeman Segvich

Letʼs be frank. I am a political conservative republican and I wholeheartedly welcome U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder's provocative remarks on "things racial". As an aggressive activist, I agree with him that we are a "nation of cowards". Debate with intellectual honesty is very healthy.

To start things off Mr. Attorney General, would you agree we should dismiss the deranged and racist laws called "hate-crimes"? We need to follow one constitution and one set of laws for everyone. If I rob a wallet on a weekend from someone across town of another race, I don't want to be prosecuted more severely than if I rob my neighbor's wallet  Wednesday.
