Raaaaacist! Friday, Feb 20 2009 

I’ve never been a fan of black history month, or any other group’s month for that matter. In my opinion, that, in and of itself, is racist. It should be American history month. Focus on the history of all of us in America. Too many people don’t know anything about that, as it is.

Eric Holder is a moron. He should step down as AG right now. He is supposed to represent all Americans, not just the flavor of the month. I take offense to his suggestion that I am a coward. I have spoken on many occasions about race with others. Generally speaking, most people can get along just fine at work, or school, or anywhere else for that matter.

When you have universities that promote specific groups based on race, other than white, then how is that not racism? The very second a white person wants to form a similar group, they are labeled a racist. Well, I call BS on that.

I think the Congressional Black Caucus is another racist organization as well. So is the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Let’s see how well a “Congressional White Caucus” would go over amongst the non-whites. Wouldn’t fly. So, why do these other groups get a pass?

Sure. Let’s talk race. I want some answers.
How is the above not racist? It excludes everyone that is not of the same race. This agenda is race oriented. It’s BS.

Racial quotas is another thing that pisses me off too. There should never be a quota based on race, or sex, ever. All things should be based on merit, and merit alone. Earn it. Too stupid for the job? Find one that you are qualified for, or educate yourself so you can qualify for it. Don’t expect a handout just because of your skin color.

Here’s a couple articles related to this:

A Cowardly Conversation Starter

by Jonah Goldberg

Hey, black folks, do you know any white folks? Good. OK, I want you to go up to them right now and, as politely as you can, start sharing your most deeply held racial views. Hey, white folks, you’re not off the hook. I want you to go and do likewise with any black people you know.

Don’t want to do that? Really? Well, then, you’re a coward.

That’s the short version of Attorney General Eric Holder’s speech this week celebrating Black History Month.

Imagine That… Playing the ‘Race’ Card Again

If there’s one thing that really gets under my skin, it’s racial politics. Despite the Democrats’ claim that they are for equality, they continue to not only promote policies that favor one racial or ethnic group over another, but they also play the “race” card any chance they get.

Forget about having a fair, open, and honest debate. When the stakes are high, you can bet that if the race card can be played, it certainly will. The latest example deals with the GOP governors who are considering rejecting all or part of the stimulus. Forget that they have serious misgivings about the bill and the way the funds must be spent. Clearly their opposition is based on racial prejudice, right? Give me a break!

The Porkulus Friday, Feb 20 2009 

Michelle Malkin has a good article on the porkulus bill:

Rebel Yell: Taxpayers Revolt Against Gimme-Mania

by Michelle Malkin

There’s something in the air. It’s the smell of roasted pork. President Obama heralded the signing of the trillion-dollar “stimulus” bill in Denver and promoted his massive mortgage entitlement expansion in Mesa, Ariz., at tightly controlled campaign events. But outside the Secret Service perimeters, a raucous grassroots rebellion against Beltway spending binges has caught fire. The new Boston Tea Party is here, baby, and it’s doused in barbecue sauce.

The first revolt took place on Presidents Day in Smurf-blue Seattle, where mom-blogger Keli Carender hastily organized a downtown demonstration to oppose what they called the “stimulus rip-off.” A motley band of nearly 100 protesters — moms and their kids, college students, libertarians, taxpayer groups, GOP activists — raised their voices and dined on pulled pork (donated by yours truly). They assailed both the substance of the overstuffed stimulus package and the short-circuited, nontransparent process by which it was passed.

An Old Soldier Friday, Feb 20 2009 

An old Soldier you should know. CSM Mellinger is the last “draftee” in the Army. This man has done more than most for the Army, and should be recognized by all as a national treasure.

It’s an older article. Go read about it:

America’s Last Draftee: “I’m a Relic”

America’s generals love to brag about their all-volunteer Army. That’s because they tend to overlook Jeffrey Mellinger. He donned his Army uniform for the first time on April 18, 1972, about the time the Nixon Administration was seeking “peace with honor” in Vietnam and The Godfather was opening on the silver screen. Nearly 37 years later, he’s still wearing Army green. Mellinger is, by all accounts, the last active-duty draftee serving in the U.S. Army.

I think I need to turn a corner in my blog. I need to stop cussing in my writing. It doesn’t really help. So, I shall endeavor to discontinue its use hence forth.
