The National Conversation (Raw)

This Foolish Man is the Senate Majority Leader

I ask again... Is there any other country in the whole wide world that has bought into the junk science of global warming like American has?

Keep Talking Wesley... Keep Talking...

If this keeps up Obama will lose.

Holy screw up Batman!

Again, this election is going to cut along generational lines.
General Clark just woke the dead with these comments.

McCain Girl Rocks!

White Washed Tombs

Someone help me understand. What is it with American ministers of African descent, with big city churches, who choose to live lives of luxury?

I don’t get it.

A fleet of half-million dollar cars? Homes in the hills (River Hills, that is)? Tax exemptions and millions in aid from the federal government (faith-based initiatives)?

It’s not Biblical.

I also don’t understand the idea of minister as political power broker. It all smacks of worldliness, materialism, and idolatry. 

It bothers me. 

I’ve got nothing against wealth. I’m allergic to poverty. But when it comes to emulating the life of Christ (as a minister of Christ is supposed to do), this example of “minister as millionaire” is, well… un-Christ like. Or in other words…

anti-Christ.

Instead of lining up outside the Marcia P. Coggs Center for flood relief vouchers, maybe the starving water-logged citizens of inner city Milwaukee should have lined up outside the Holy Redeemer Institutional Church of God in Christ, or Christian Faith Fellowship COGIC.  Maybe they should line up outside Bishop Sedgwick Daniels’ house, or at Pastor Darrell Hines’ million dollar home, or near their fleet of luxury cars, or at the hangar where the Christian Faith Fellowship Lear jet will be housed!

I mean, birds of a feather should flock together.  It’s instructive that they don’t.

The church (and these wealthy ministers) was the last place the refugees of “extreme poverty” thought to go.  It’s the culture, stupid… 

The culture of government dependency and religious duplicity.

Hey, Wisconsin has Free Money!

Updated.
It’s bad enough that the bulk of the people (probably) waiting in line for flood relief experienced no flood damage and needed no relief. But now, there’s this: since this scam began last Monday, my inside sources at the County tell me that over 15,000 applications have been processed, and – guess what – a number of the people waiting in line are not even from Wisconsin! That’s right, that’s what I said.

By Thursday word had spread beyond state lines!

“Free money in Milwaukee!”

This goes way beyond Pres. Hines’ good intentions to have people give to the food banks. (As misguided as I think that was.) He leads the city, and I have to admit the City of Milwaukee would not show this kind of incompetence. Whether the County is to blame (nope), the state is to blame... or FEMA is to blame (FEMA didn't do it either) – this is a total embarrassment; widespread fraud across the board, and SOMETHING needs to be done.

Just like in the days of old, Wisconsin is once again a welfare magnet. At least 10 people from Illinois and Indiana have been caught and asked to leave the line. “That’s all we can do,” I was told. “We know people are lying, but our hands are tied. We have to follow the operations memo sent from the state. We can’t add or subtract from it.”

We know people are lying, but our hands are tied…

We must be the Diary State, because we can milk tax dollars – “Free money!” – like nobody’s business.

Yeah! What that guy said!

Author and Talk Show host Larry Elder explains to a "shocked" fan why he is not a Democrat and whey he opposes Barack Obama.

It's beautiful. Check it out at Townhall.com

"Obama or Die"

"Obama or Die!" Is that the same as give me Obama or give me death?

BET held it's music awards. It was Obama night!

"'If we all register and vote, we will have the first black president in the history of America,'" Sean "Diddy" Combs told the crowd Tuesday at the Shrine Auditorium before chanting "Obama or Die" - a declarative remix of his neutral "Vote or Die" motto from the 2004 presidential election, when he attempted to boost the youth vote."

Sean, "Puffy", "Puff Daddy", "P Diddy", "Diddy", Combs... Mr. Combs has had more name changes than Negros in America. This time he has found his voice. Screw neutrality.

Obama or Die!

Alicia Keys who was also in attendance, told the crowd that it's time for black people to erase the word "can't" from their vocabulary. "Together we can do anything," she said, playing on the Democrat's "Yes We Can" mantra before shouting: "Obama y'all!"

Nice.

Ms. Keys is also an American of African descent, who is bi-racial but has chosen sides. "Obama y'all!" She sounded ridiculous. Like Vanilla Ice saying "Word up to yo mother!"

"The presumptive Republican presidential nominee, John McCain, failed to merit a shoutout by any of the BET presenters or performers."

God, I wish I could sing! I would have given old man McCain a shoutout for the pure hell of it!

"Vote for the real 'Mac Daddy' y'all!" McCain 08!

"Peace!"

Global Divorce Court

“James Hansen, one of the world's leading climate scientists, will today call for the chief executives of large fossil fuel companies to be put on trial for high crimes against humanity and nature, accusing them of actively spreading doubt about global warming in the same way that tobacco companies blurred the links between smoking and cancer.”

Nice.

In other words, “Please, mommy, make the bad men stop!”

All of this whining from the world's premier climate scientist must be embarrassing for the scientific community. Or at least it should be.  What’s next? Private citizens being forced before the inquisition? Now that would be fun.  The first thing I would say is:  There is no such thing as a climate scientist. Putting climate in front of science means you get to guess and still be taken seriously.

"Off with his head!"

I would like to take scientist to court over this question: Is oil really a fossil fuel? There are plenty of scientists out there who think not, and they also believe that oil, natural gas and coal are NOT finite resources -- that the big three restore themselves naturally and that we are more likely to run into it, than run out of it.

The Saudis and Russians seem to be operating under that theory. They are the number one and number two oil producers in the world and it has nothing to do with science! Most oil producing countries are not hamstrung by scientific dogma like the United States of America is.

“High crimes against humanity and nature for spreading doubt about global warming?” How about charging climate scientist James Hansen with high crimes against humanity for crippling us with junk science that inhibits exploration.

I want a divorce.

There is no such thing as man-made global warming. What Americans suffer from is lack of determination due to mental restraint. 

China, Russia, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and everybody else who is drilling today are like the sexy, hot wife who wants it...now! They are uninhibited in their pursuit for natural resources, lustful in their desire. They're getting it and they want more.

America is the inhibited wife who has all of the assets, but none of the eagerness. Her inhibition is built on fake science and concern about what others think of her. 

America makes excuses for not drilling…. Oil spills, polar bears and the caribou. She is preoccupied with self-righteousness and disdain for other countries that are doing what she won’t.

Now that’s a crime against humanity. America needs to get a divorce from junk science and those who promote it.

Food Crisis?

"The food crisis in Milwaukee - and throughout the United States - is worse than many of us have realized,” Hines said in a statement. “We expect long lines for free food in Third World countries; we don’t expect a line of 2,500 people waiting for food vouchers at the Marcia P. Coggs Center.” Alderman Willie Hines - JS Online

Food crisis in Milwaukee.

I love Alderman Hines. I do. If you are a regular reader on this site you know that. That’s why his statement in today’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is so distressing. “The food crisis in Milwaukee… is worse than many of us have realized.”

Worse than?

In the summer of 1990, I spent six weeks in Sierra Leone, West Africa. My first day in the country, I was followed around town by a very annoying six or seven year old boy who had a swollen belly and red hair. At first I didn’t notice him. He was just some annoying kid who wanted a candy bar or something. It wasn’t until I got back to where we were staying that the stark reality of this kid's situation sung in. (Yes, the kid followed us back to the mission where I was staying.). When the priest saw him, he ran over, scooped the kid up and ran to the infirmary. The child’s pants were ripped and hanging off him. That's when it hit me.  The child who I was trying to shoo away was poor, filthy, and I found out later was dying from malnutrition (that’s why his belly was swollen and his hair was red).

Later that evening, the priest came to see me.  He knew I was in shock. He said, “Welcome to Sierra Leone. You will see poverty and starving people… prepare yourself.”

I’m still prepared.

I’ve been to a number of “third world” countries since Sierra Leone.  There is no food crisis in Milwaukee. What too many Milwaukeeans suffer from is a crisis of integrity. Friends, there is no food crisis anywhere in the United States.  What inner-city Americans of African descent suffer from nationally, is a crisis of dignity.

It's the culture, stupid! THE CULTURE! A culture of rabid dependency, fostered by decades of liberal white guilt.

I'm entitled.

That’s why FEMA set up flood relief in Milwaukee County's main welfare office and to date over 5,000 people have shown up for a handout.

Over 5,000 people!

Not all the people in line were scammers, but most were. This crisis isn’t about flood relief. It's about the poverty of the soul.
