The straw grasping begins: Taitz thinks that the birth certificate should peg Obama’s race as “Negro” and not “African.” “In those years … when they wrote race, they were writing ‘Negro’ not ‘African’,” Taitz says. “In those days nobody wrote African as a race, it just wasn’t one of the options. It sounds like it [...]

Charlie Sheen And The New American Value System
April 22nd, 2011 · 3 Comments · america, News, Politics
What do Americans value? Charlie Sheen made a visit to my city of Atlanta last night for his train wreck of a self-aggrandizing tour. I had neither the time nor inclination to offer a review of the show. Unlike some Americans, I’m not willling to wade in the muck and enable the self-destructive behavior of [...]

While it may not seem important to some, there is a crisis brewing in the nation’s capital: What might be required to enact change, Raskin said, is a “mass movement of protest to test the conscience of the nation. It’s clear that President Obama does not intend to be the personal leader of a liberation [...]

…You’re Tired!

“I tell it like it is. [Y]ou’ll hear a political reporter go on and say [Hillary Clinton's loss in 2008] had nothing to do with race. But how come she had such a tiny piece of the vote? And you know, it’s a very sad thing. I have a great relationship with the blacks. I’ve [...]

Paul Ryan Attempts To Continue A Reckless Fiscal Policy
April 7th, 2011 · 4 Comments · america, Democrats, News, Politics, Republicans
Paul Ryan portrays his budget as an earnest attempt to reduce the deficit– a Herculean task to be sure. But earnest practice isn’t equivalent to honest practice, and Ryan’s allegiance to the GOP core shines through quite clearly. I’m not certain how you manage to reduce the deficit simply by slashing spending programs, while [...]

America And Exceptionalism

Reactions have poured in: It was a beautiful speech, especially the end. But I still don’t know how long we’re going to be in Libya. Or what we ultimately want to see there, aside from Qaddafi leaving, somehow. Or what we’re obligated to do, now that we’ve done what we said we were going to [...]

Are Conservative Political Rules Of Engagement Racial Code?
March 7th, 2011 · 2 Comments · america, News, Political Fringe, Politics
Let’s just call it what it is: idiocy, lunacy, and buffoonery have become triple components of an ideological doctrine that is passing for earnest debate in conservative GOP circles. More and more have proven this beyond a shadow of a doubt. It’s nice to know so many of them have become knowledgeable about Kenyan world [...]
