“Barack The Magic Negro”

How about all the snickering over the thrown shoes? I was POed about it. I felt like I was the only one. Might be my sense of humor is misplaced?

Might be our new magic puppet will start in his own house?

So sad but true

If this wasn’t so sad and true it would almost be comical……….God help us all in the wonderful country…….and this is what it has been reduced too………

December 20, 2008
It was an historic moment in the nation’s history – a year when old barriers fell.

It was a year when one word filled the air – change.

It was a year Democrats came to believe in the audacity of hope.

Or maybe just plain audacity.

One governor was caught with his pants (but not his socks) off, hooking up with an aspiring singer who preferred cash payments and called customers by their numbers. Another was discovered trying to sell a Senate seat in language not allowed on HBO mob shows (and anyway, viewers would have dismissed the plot as too preposterous).

In a year when Republicans were out-spent and out-voted in the election, they were also out-corrupted at every turn. Sure, some valiantly tried to keep the GOP end up – Ted Stevens, former senator from Alaska, insisted the chair given to him as a gift wasn’t really his, even if it was sitting in his living room. And Vito Fossella went for that old chestnut, the second family on the side.

But these trifles pale in comparison to Kwame Kilpatrick, mayor of Detroit, who used the city’s credit cards for his own pimpin’ lifestyle, which included inviting strippers over to his official residence. When his wife unexpectedly arrived home, she proceeded to beat up one of the exotic dancers. Since his term had officially become an episode of “Flavor of Love,” Kilpatrick upped the ante – exchanging 14,000 text messages with his chief of staff Christine Beatty. Some were about business, exposing a “Friends and Family plan” of preferential granting of city contracts. Most, however, were about whether they wanted the double suite at the Days Inn. Or the fact that Kilpatrick text messages like a 16-year-old girl: “I need you soooo bad.” Can I get a woot woot?

New York’s congressional delegation included Charlie Rangel, who brushed away weekly accusations of tax evasion, housing chicanery, bad beach fashions and favors for his favorite donors with a boastful, “go ahead! Investigate me!” Knowing full well that any investigation would declare him innocent, no matter the evidence; Speaker Nancy Pelosi promised him.

Defiance, in fact, is the default mood among the corrupt. This week, Rod Blagojevich said he refuses to resign as governor of Illinois. And why would he? Having lived through decades of scandal, those who are caught seemed shocked to realize that they must pay a price. Didn’t my predecessors sell Senate seats, or my peers hand them out as goodwill gestures to new presidents (looking at you, David Paterson)? This is the way the Democratic Party operates – why are they changing the rules on me?

It would be comical to watch if it wasn’t so depressing – or so important to our future.

When Eliot Spitzer proved that he couldn’t be satisfied with a beautiful wife and the top job in the state, the seat fell to the woeful Paterson, who opened his term by confessing to everything from drug use to adultery. When “Saturday Night Live” claimed his life was an actual Richard Pryor movie, it wasn’t comedy, it was documentary. If New Yorkers hadn’t been so exhausted with Client No. 9, would they have had the patience for a governor whose chief aide then said he hadn’t paid taxes in five years because he didn’t feel like it?

Instead we’re left with an administration whose imaginative solution to the fiscal crisis is 137 new taxes, forcing us to pay more for everything from beer to music to cabs. The middle class will be driven out of New York, and our city’s destiny will have been mortgaged on a hooker from New Jersey.

Some will argue that all politics corrupts all politicians. Maybe so. But this year’s avalanche of distractions came primarily from the left side of the aisle. The amount, the breadth and the ridiculousness of the scandals is depressing, all the more so because this is the party to which America just handed all the seats of power.

Barack Obama’s victory did make this year a historic one. But he can make 2009 a historic one as well – by bringing “change” to his own house first.

The politically Correct Term For “Afro Engineering” has now be revised to
“Presidential Solution!” Come on people get a sense of humor!

George has spoken today! And again he is copying from the internet without giving sources and making it sound like his own thoughts.

Thanks, George. Great stuff

GOD Book of James all of chapter 4

Sorry I forgot, that’s one source (really the only true source) that continues to escape your thoughts.

“The word negro, now considered by many as archaic and offensive, is used intentionally to suggest that the archetype is a racist throwback”
Damn, just a few years ago, I was told that “colored” was not a good term to use….now, kneegrow is gone out of favor too? Getting mighty pickey, aren’t they? Just who in hell sets the “trends” that makes a name offensive or not? Probably somebody like Michelle Obama with a doctorate on the subject…

I never had that much of an issue over the shoe throwing. Put it in context. They guy obviously, like all liberals in America, hates President George Bush. Iraqi culture sees throwing a shoe at someone the biggest insult you can give a person.

Here we flip people off or offer an entire host of other nasty things.

The issue therefore becomes one of respect. The Iraqi reporter should be treated in the same fashion as if a media person in this country stood up during a press conference and told President Bush to go f*** himself.

Back to the issue. The left did laugh and snicker at the shoe throwing incident and even went so far as to say they wished it had hit him etc., once again showing complete and utter disdain and respect for the position of President of the United States.

Now that the shoe (sorry) is on the other foot, the left is demand respect for the President’s office because someone they like is going to sit in it.

Give me a friggin break!

That should have read, “complete and utter disdain and LACK OF respect for the position”. Gotta proof these comments better.

Personally, I liked the shoe throwing incident….it was entertaining, and since the guy was from Iraq, didn’t seem to reflect a lack of respect, since he was not their president….(if he had been, he would have been shot while throwing the first shoe…) But more importantly, it showed that GW has excellent reflexes…and a good sense of humor…

It doesn’t help much when you have people like Reid and the king bitch Pelosi hammering the president every chance they get. All I know is we haven’t been hit on our own soil since 9-11 so he must have done something right. We oud be under Kerry and Gore, wonder what might of happened then. Probably be a lot greener. Rather than Negro or African-American shouldn’t the O be called a Malato? Don’t care what color or race he is, just hope he does a good job for the country.

Dream is Over…… Read this letter below! This guy says it like it IS

Letter from Troy Clarke, President of General Motors – followed by a response from Gregory Knox, President of Knox Machinery:

Dear Employees & Suppliers,

Next week, Congress and the current Administration will determine whether to provide immediate support to the domestic auto industry to help it through one of the most difficult economic times in our nation’s history. Your elected officials must hear from all of us now on why this support is critical to our continuing the progress we began prior to the global financial crisis…….As an employee or supplier, you have a lot at stake and continue to be one of our most effective and passionate voices. I know GM can count on you to have your voice heard.

Thank you for your urgent action and ongoing support.

Troy Clarke
President
General Motors North America
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From Gregory Knox,

In response to your request to call legislators and ask for a bailout for the US automakers please consider the following, and please also pass this onto Troy Clark, the president of General Motors North America for me.

You are both infected with the same entitlement mentality that has bred like cancerous germs in UAW halls for the last countless decades, and whose plague is now sweeping the nation, awaiting our new “messiah” to wave his magical wand and make all our problems go away, while at the same time allowing our once great nation to keep “living the dream”.

The dream is over!

The dream that we can ignore the consumer for years while management myopically focuses on its personal rewards packages at the same time that our factories have been filled with the worlds most overpaid, arrogant, ignorant and laziest entitlement minded “laborers” without paying the price for these atrocities and that still the masses will line up to buy our products.

Don’t tell me I’m wrong. Don’t accuse me of not knowing of what I speak. I have called on Ford, GM, Chrysler, TRW, Delphi, Kelsey Hayes, American Axle and countless other automotive OEM’s and Tier ones for three now throughout the Midwest and what I’ve seen over the years in these union shops can only be described as disgusting.

Mr. Clark, the president of General Motors, states:

There is widespread sentiment in this country, our government and especially in the media that the current crisis is completely the result of bad management.
It is not.

You’re right it’s not JUST management. How about the electricians who walk around the plants like lords in feudal times, making people wait on them for countless hours while they drag ass so they can come in on the weekend and make double and triple time for a job they easily could have done within their normal 40 hour week.

How about the line workers who threaten newbies with all kinds of scare tactics for putting out too many parts on a shift and for being too productive (mustn’t expose the lazy bums who have been getting overpaid for decades for their horrific underproduction, must we?!?) Do you really not know about this stuff?!?

How about this great sentiment abridged from Mr. Clarke’s sad plea:

over the last few years we have closed the quality and efficiency gaps with our competitors.

What the hell has Detroit been doing for the last 40 years?!?

Did we really JUST wake up to the gaps in quality and efficiency between us and them?

The K car vs. the Accord?
The Pinto vs. the Civic?!?

Do I need to go on?

We are living through the inevitable outcome of the actions of the United States auto industry for decades. It is time to pay for your sins, Detroit.

I attended an economic summit last week where a brilliant economist, Alan Beaulieu surprised the crowd when he said he would not have given the banks a penny of “bailout money”. Yes, he said, this would cause short term problems, but despite what people like George Bush and Troy Clark would have us believe, the sun would in fact rise the next day and something else would happen. Where there had been greedy and sloppy banks new efficient ones would pop up that is how a free market system works. It does work if we would let it work.

But for some reason we are now deciding that the rest of the world is right and that capitalism doesn’t work and that we need the government to step in and “save us”, Save us, hell. We’re nationalizing and unfortunately too many of this once fine nations citizens don’t even have a clue that this is what’s really happening, but they sure can tell you the stats on their favorite sports teams. Yeah THAT’S important.

Does it occur to ANYONE that the “competition” has been producing vehicles, EXTREMELY PROFITABLY, for decades now in this country?…

How can that be??? Let’s see.
Fuel efficient?
Listening to customers?
Investing in the proper tooling and automation for the long haul?
Not being too complacent or arrogant to listen to Dr Edward Deming four decades ago?
Ever increased productivity through quality, lean and six sigma plans?
Treating vendors like strategic partners, rather than like “the enemy”.
Efficient front and back offices?
Non union environment?

Again, I could go on and on, but I really wouldn’t be telling anyone anything they really don’t already know in their hearts.

I have six children, so I am not unfamiliar with the concept of wanting someone to bail you out of a mess that you have gotten yourself into my children do this on a weekly, if not daily basis, as I did at their age. I do for them what my parents did for me (one of their greatest gifts, by the way), I make them stand on their own two feet and accept the consequences of their actions and work them through.

Radical concept, huh!

Am I there for them in the wings? Of course, but only until such time as they need to be fully on their own as adults.

I don’t want to oversimplify a complex situation, but there certainly are unmistakable parallels here between the proper role of parenting and government.

Detroit and the United States need to pay for their sins.

Bad news people, it’s coming whether we like it or not.

The newly elected Messiah really doesn’t have a magic wand big enough to “make it all go away” I laughed as I heard Obama “reeling it back in” almost immediately after the vote count was tallied. “We might not do it in a yearor in four”. Where was that kind of talk when he was RUNNING for the office

Stop trying to put off the inevitable.

That house in Florida really isn’t worth $750,000.
People who jump across a border really don’t deserve free health care benefits.
That job driving that forklift for the big 3 really isn’t worth $85,000 a year.

We really shouldn’t allow Wal-Mart to stock their shelves with products acquired from a country that unfairly manipulates their currency and has the most atrocious human rights infractions on the face of the globe.

That couple whose combined income is less than $50,000 really shouldn’t be living in that $485,000 home.

Let the market correct itself people and it will. Yes it will be painful, but it’s gonna be painful either way, and the bright side of my proposal is that on the other side of it is a nation that appreciates what is has and doesn’t live beyond its means and gets back to basics and redevelops the work ethic that made it the greatest nation in the history of the world and probably turns back to God.

Sorry, don’t cut my head off, I’m just the messenger sharing with you the “bad news”
