Olympic Sized Disappointment

To all the conservatives rejoicing that the Olympics are not coming to Chicago in 2016: Get a clue. Those of you laughing at Obama for his failure to close the deal in Copenhagan are just as guilty as the idiots who wanted to see us fail in Iraq purely because of their hatred of George Bush.

Bottom line - let's put America first. Party and ideological affiliation comes in a distant second. Bringing the Olympics to Chicago would have been a great chance to show the world a first class American city with a spectacular waterfront skyline, world class universities, an industrious populace, as well as the gateway to America's midwest breadbasket.

Here's hoping that the pundits and hacks celebrating Obama's "failure" come to the sober recognition that what's bad for Obama politically is not necessarily good for America.

No Silver Linings on the Obama Cloud

I was glad to see Barack Obama at the All Star game recently, although the media coverage was a little over the top. I was impressed that Michelle Obama did her best to honor Catholic customs by covering her head in old school Catholic tradition. Seriously, I'm looking for any silver lining with this guy. But today's speech at the NAACP took me back to square one with this guy.

Said Obama to the crowd: "the pain of discrimination is still felt in America" among blacks, hispanics, and Muslims. Seriously, people are still held back by discrimination? Is this going to be the message for the next 500 years? "Sure, progress has been made, and all of our laws are structured to transfer opportunity from whites to other races.......but the pains of discrimination remain!!"

We have a progress tax code that transfers $ from the wealthy to the "disadvantaged". We have minority scholarships and race based admissions policies which push minorities to the front of the line in front of whites. We have race based government contracts which transfer wealth from the tax base to minorities. Is this the "pain" to which Obama referred?

Well, apparently that's not enough. Now we need to "make housing more affordable; and give ex-offenders a second chance." Furthermore, we need to "makes quality health coverage affordable for all." So basically, we'll tax the hell out of whitey so regardless of effort and achievement, everybody will enjoy the same standard of living.

So now we're living a perfect storm - using race baiting tactics in order to push Obama's socialist agenda. So much for any silver lining with this administration.

, Obama is perpetuating the myth of systemic racial discrimination in America in order to push through socialism.

Why I Hate Obama: Reason 2

Barack Obama spoke at Georgetown this week. He told the university that all references to Jesus Christ had to be covered. Odd behavior for a man who claims to be a Christian.

Barack Obama ==> Liar

Barack Obama ==> closest thing to Lenin the United States has ever seen.

Why I hate Obama: Reason 1

Obama claimed he was unaware of the racist sermons preached at Jeremiah Wright's church in Chicago. As it turns out, he donated more than $26,000 to the church in 2007.

That's a lot of money to be giving to a church where you don't even listen to the sermons.

Barack Obama ==> Liar

Race.Baiting.Fool

I'm just stunned, almost at a loss for words. The ignorance of race card incarnate, Melissa Lacewell-Harris, knows no bounds.

Irrational claim of "racism" #1:
"A recent report from the Chicago Urban League found that African-American children in the city are almost exclusively educated in schools that are more than 85 percent black."

Wow, you mean blacks live near each other? Wow, in a city that's majority black, blacks go to school where the average population is > 85% black! Oh the horror, blacks have to go to school with......blacks! Damn whitey!

Irrational claim of "racism" #2:
"Holder's perspective that black and white workers get along easily in the workplace reflects a shocking disregard for contemporary employment realities. African-Americans continue to suffer from extraordinary employment discrimination at every stage of hiring and promotion and in every sector of the job market."

Wow, so the dimwit Lacewell knows that blacks and whites don't get along in the workplace? How? All she does is teach and write lame brained editorials? And if she's going to make half-baked claims of "discrimination", maybe at least one statistic should be provided. Whoops, I forgot, it's always open season on whites by blacktivists to cry wolf about racism.

Irrational claim of "racism" #3:
"We can't talk our way out of employers who refuse to interview a job candidate if the name on the résumé "sounds black."

Ahh, the old standby complaint - whites won't interview candidates with black sounding names. Again, no statistics, just groundless complaints. As for the science behind this, I'd love to see the statistics of black hiring manager tendencies. "Hmmm, should I interview Tamika or Billy Bob?" I'm pretty sure Billy Bob wouldn't get a call back. Of course, we'll never see that study because just suggesting that blacks seek to hire other blacks would be.....racist!

Irrational claim of "racism" #4:
"Some real estate agents steer black families away from predominantly white neighborhoods. Some property owners refuse to rent to black families. Both of these acts are illegal. In fact, the National Fair Housing Alliance documents hundred of thousands of acts of housing discrimination each year and has repeatedly criticized the Department of Justice for failing to adequately pursue and prosecute the vast majority of these cases. We can't talk our way out of residential segregation."

Really, the NFHA documents "hundreds of thousands" of discrimination acts every year, and the DOJ just ignores them? Riiiiight. And I just love the "some property owners" line. This sounds like an editorial in an 8th grade student newspaper as opposed to an opinion article from a professor at Princeton. "Some blacks really hate whites!" "Some blacktivists keep trying to make discrimination a story because they want to keep their jobs as blacktivists".

I'm finished even further contemplating the ignorance and hatred spouted by this woman. She personally sets race relations back a decade every time she puts pen to paper.

Black First, American Second

Is anybody else tired of ridiculuous claims of racism tossed around in politics? How many times do we have to hear of Cynthia McKinney claiming she's the victim of racism after punching a cop, or Obama's team claiming racism because his pre-election poll numbers weren't strong enough?

So after crying wolf a million times, one would think that black activists would be a little more reluctant to make claims of racism. And even more importantly, one would think they would never engage in behaviors that, if conducted by a white person, would be considered racist.

But I guess the term "double standard" has no meaning to some people. I think it's clear it would be racist for a white person to expect a white politician to only wear clothes designed by whites. This should be obvious even to the likes of David Duke. But I guess it's OK for the Black Artists Association to be upset because Michelle Obama's inaugural gown was designed by, God forbid, a white guy!

As reported by Drudge from Politico.

Do these idiots ONLY see color? And do all the blacks with common sense get annoyed with their divisive antics?
