On Politics, We Can Always See the Whites of Their Eyes.
The Truth: Gates racially profiled the white cop

Imagine just one change of fact: The responding officer was black. Would Gates still have said:
"I'll see your mama outside."
Probably not. I suspect he would have asked the cop why he was there, and eventually assured him that the suspicious activity observed at his front door was because of the pre-existing damage resulting from a previous break-in attempt. He would have thanked him, perhaps, for his concern and service to the community, and the interaction would have faded into the fabric of America never to rise to a Presidential presser.
But the cop was white. And Gates did say those things. And there is no defense to treating a police officer with such disrespect. "I'll see your mama outside?" This is the faculty at Harvard that beautiful people mortgage their homes from whom to learn? Glad I'm poor and white - my kids will never have the pleasure of being in his classroom.
Let's add another piece:
Late one night, a black woman living in a predominately white neighborhood was startled awake by the sound of breaking glass. Inside her 4-year-old son's room, she found a brick. Attached to it was a note: "Keep Eastside White. Keep Eastside Strong."
Yes, a clear-cut case of racism. A hate crime. Yet incredibly, the police decided otherwise. Why? Police said the note did not constitute "hate speech." Accordingly, the crime "probably would be criminal mischief and deadly conduct, both misdemeanors," according to police.
"Eastside" is a mid-sized city in Texas. Figures, eh? Bush country. Ain't no justice down there unless you're white as flour. Black man just better stay away. Truth, however, gets in the way again. The writer of the article relayed a true story - the brick was thrown with note attached - but he took the liberty to change one central fact. He switched the races. It was a white woman in an otherwise all-black community. I'll leave it to the Eastside Police Department to explain their determination that the incident was not a crime motivated by the victim's race, and how "deadly conduct" directed at a four year old is a misdemeanor.
We are a racist country. But if anyone thinks for even a moment that racist attitudes are somehow present only in a white epidermis, well, then - you, too, are a racist!
Attorney General Eric Holder told us a while back that we are afraid to discuss race in America. We are "cowards," he said.
Well, Eric, Skippy, and the EPD, we are not afraid to discuss race, and it's about time we called it out for what it is. You all - the elite blacks and the liberal whites (and the societal structures that you have made afraid to be honest about racially driven behavior unless the "victim" is a minority) - are so wrapped up in skin color that you view everything said and done as a reflection of it. Read this:
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, OCD, is an anxiety disorder and is characterized by recurrent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and/or repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Repetitive behaviors such as handwashing, counting, checking, or cleaning are often performed with the hope of preventing obsessive thoughts or making them go away. Performing these so-called "rituals," however, provides only temporary relief, and not performing them markedly increases anxiety
You can read the two forgoing paragraphs and add to that list of repetitive behaviors as you see fit.
Do us all a favor: Shut up. Stop playing or even mentioning the "race card." You want to tell me about white racists? OK, I'll listen, then I'll write off those individuals as fringe elements. Then you can listen as I discuss those black Americans that are equally offensive.
I believe, worst of all, that we have a racist president. Yep, sure do. How do I know? OCD. Without facts, he piped off with a conclusion based purely upon the race of the parties involved. That is racist. That is hate speech. And I am deeply embarrassed for our country that the President of the United States spoke in such a manner. People have said that he should say clearly that he is sorry - no, he should say clearly that he was wrong.
Skippy is now saying that this "isn't about me." Skippy and Obama want to sneak out for a presidential beer with Sgt. Crowley and let bygones be bygones. No, this is about you, Skippy. No, we aren't sweeping this under the rug to recidivate another day.
It is time for you all to stop wearing the victim's clothes either directly or on behalf of (through guilt or otherwise) for another. We're all tired of being told we're bad people. We're not. We're just one big family living in the same country. Like all big families, we have folks with whom we are embarrassed by their conduct, and associate with only because of blood. There are true racists out there - and each and every one of them should be cast out. It's beyond wrong to assume anything about a person because of an immutable condition - skin color, hair color, birth mark, flat feet ... get it?
Two-thirds of the poor in this country are white. There are no colleges that proudly proclaim themselves as "white colleges." There are no scholarship funds open to only "white" applicants. It's time to be real about this topic. It's time to admit that we all - every one of us except the fringes - want to row in the same direction of peace and prosperity.
I watched a video that taught me a new term - "racial pimping." Stop it. Now. You're just embarrassing yourself.

Waxman: No 'Deem and Pass' - We pass the Senate...
Hmmm. If Demon Pass is dead (and it is dead according to multiple sources), then they either have the votes and we are just waiting for it, or they would rather lose on an up or down vote so as to avoid the appearance of being Enemies of the State. Since the meeting broke down into chaos, one wonders if they actually have the votes.The problem is the sequence. Can the House vote to amend something that isn't the law, as the Senate bill will not be law before the president's signature? The Rules Committee meeting turned into mass confusion when Democratic Rep. Henry Waxman said, "We're not going to 'deem' the bill passed. We're going to pass the Senate bill…I would be against the idea of 'deeming' something -- we either pass it or we don't."

Rep. Altmire confirms: NO
Nancy has about run out of "yes" votes: Congressman Jason Altmire will vote against the latest version of health care reform when the U.S. House of Representatives votes on the bill this weekend. Altmire confirmed that he has decided to vote no in a telephone conversation with KDKA Political Editor Jon Delano. The McCandless Democrat is expected to post a statement on his website later today.Views: 108 Comments: 0

JIP: Obama Approval Under Disapproval on RCP
Tough to be Barry: Real Clear Politics, or RCP for short, is a news site that averages approval/disapproval polls together, forming a very non-partisan system. For the last year and change, I have closely watched the approval of the President. Slowly but surely, it kept going lower and lower and lower. The President was at his peak on January 29, 2009 with an approval of 63.5 and a disapproval of only 19.3, a 44.2% difference. From the beginning of March to the end of June, Obama's approval/disapproval held moderately steady. But then it happened. The President began calling for radical reforms to the American Health Care System. While reform is needed, this "change" that the President was peddling did not sit well with the American people.Views: 195 Comments: 0

Will House recon bill surive intact in Senate? ...
Very clear. Toast: FTA: Senate Budget Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) said Thursday that it is unlikely the Senate will be able to pass a health care reconciliation bill unchanged from what the House passes. Conrad said the Senate Parliamentarian has declined to make rulings on several issues in the bill that Republicans are likely to challenge under the “Byrd rule.” That rule states that, among other things, every provision of a budget reconciliation bill must have a budget impact and cannot be “extraneous.” “Although we’ve spent many, many hours with the Parliamentarian, some things he has not yet rendered a conclusion” on, Conrad said. “He wants to hear from both sides before he does.” Conrad continued: “Do I expect there will be some additional Byrd rule challenges that will be upheld? Yeah. I do.”Views: 104 Comments: 1

Another flip from Yes to No: Rep. Michael Arcur...
Rep. Mike Arcuri (D., N.Y.), a sophomore who had a tough go of it in 2008, will vote nay on Obamacare, both on the House floor and in the Rules Committee. The Rules vote is symbolic, since Democrats outnumber Republicans there two-to-one. But the floor vote could go either way. It is obviously a blow to Pelosi's chances of hitting 216.Views: 169 Comments: 0

Update on CBO: Corrupt Dem leaders touting unof...
Thanks to Avery for the heads-up on today's atrocity rolling off Capitol Hill.Ranking Republican Paul Ryan responds to an NRO query about the news this morning: “The Congressional Budget Office has confirmed that there is currently no official cost estimate. Yet House Democrats are touting to the press — and spinning for partisan gain — numbers that have not been released and are impossible to confirm.
Boy, a final official number that came in over a trillion bucks would really bite them in the a**.Views: 135 Comments: 1

McCain's lead over Hayworth shrinks to 7
Johnny Mac is also under the all-important 50% support level.The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely Arizona GOP Primary voters shows McCain ahead 48% to 41%. Three percent (3%) favor another candidate, and eight percent (8%) are undecided. Following the announcement that Sarah Palin would campaign for his reelection, McCain opened up a 53% to 31% lead over Hayworth in January. The two men were in a near tie in November.
By my math, McCain's lead shrunk from 21 to 7 in two months. Hmmm.Views: 80 Comments: 0

CBO: Obamacare costs $940 billion
And in the world of Washington speak, somehow spending that much cash actually lowers the deficit by $130 billion. I have a better idea. How about we just not spend $940 billion in the first place? After all, if you are trying to trim your budget, you don't go buying a Lamborghini on a credit card. One more thing. Isn't it funny how CBO can score a bill without an actual bill. Hmmm . . .Views: 91 Comments: 0

USA Today editors: The Slaughter Rule is a 'gim...
Keep in mind USA Today wholeheartedly supports this health care takeover, but even they are disturbed by "deeming" a bill passed without a vote in the House.[House] leaders are mulling a rule that would allow the chamber to "deem" the Senate's version of health legislation as passed, without actually having to vote on it. Imagine how useful this trick would be in daily life. You could make unpopular decisions without actually appearing to make them. That excruciating Thanksgiving dinner at your brother-in-law's? You "deemed" that you attended. . . . It's understandable that some House Democrats wouldn't want to cast a direct vote on the Senate bill . . . before moving to change it. But a procedure this transparently gimmicky just adds to the cynicism surrounding the bill and opens it up to unnecessary court challenges.

Biden bombs at Correspondents' Dinner
Biden is funnier when he isn't trying to be funny. This stuff is so lame, he should have gotten the hook. More, if you can stand them, at the link. - "I just got back from five days in the Middle East. It's great to be back to a place where a boom in housing construction is a good thing." - "Liz Cheney is here tonight. Liz has been on a tear. Now she's questioning if Tom Brady is a Patriot." Meh, said the crowd. "What the hell, it was worth a try." - On moving to Washington: "I voted for public housing all my career -- never realized how good it actually is!"Views: 112 Comments: 1

You are right on the money. We're tired of all this insanity. It's time for correct-thinking people of intelligence and moral values, and the 9-12project principles and values to retake control of this country and right this sinking ship. I'm tired of hearing about race and all the other PC tactics that divide our country and cause people to think we're all against each other. Punish the evil people and save the good ones. We are ripe for God's judgment, we are on borrowed time...
