Racists Threaten To Abandon GOP

Racists Threaten To Abandon GOP Over Election Of First African-American Party Chairman

It’s not easy being a white supremacist these days.

Already reeling from Obama’s win in November, believers in white superiority were dealt another blow last week when former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele became the first African-American to head the Republican Party.

Extremists view Steele’s election to the helm of the Republican National Committee as a betrayal by the party that many considered, in their words, “the lesser of two evils.” On blogs and online forums, they excoriated the Republican Party for supposedly pandering to minorities while abandoning what they see as its white base.


First off as a white man on his 26th year in Kentucky, who despite only knowing 2 or 3 casual racists and not a single vocal or active one, enjoys the national stigma of being a toothless hate spouting redneck simply by virtue of my location, which is ironic when you consider the entire beef with racism is about hating people without just cause, I am damned amused at any annoyance levied against the skin-color-means-a-damn crowd.

That being said, I'd like to take this opportunity to annouce my displeasure with the very real difference in the mind of the public between black pride and white pride. I am aware that writing that sentence is enough to get me accused of being a racist, being that I'm both white and from Kentucky.

My official position is that if race is to be considered a non-issue in society it needs to be treated as such.

There should be no affirmative action because it amounts to government policy creating an advantage based on race and eliminating that sort of behavior was the whole point of the civil rights movement.

There should be no hate crime law for the same reason. Though, not for the common thought crime reason given as we've already gone down that road by allowing intent a place in criminal law. We kill thought criminals. (murder vs manslaughter)

There should be no scholarships divided by race, gender, creed, etc. accepted at publicly funded or tax exempted schools.

It should not ask your gender or race on any government employment or assistance application.

In short, the only people who should ever need to factor in your race are those in the medical community.

Now before you argue think about how often a job application asks your favorite color. Not very often right? Why? Because it bloody well doesn't matter in the context of job fitness, which is exactly where we want race to be right? If that didn't sell you, nothing will.

I am neither proud nor ashamed of my "Heritage" as this includes primarily decisions made by others now dead who did not consult me, and therefor I share not in the credit, and my race, which I had no choice about.

For the record I would have chosen to be a pit viper. I like the whole idea of heat vision and eating once a week. Or perhaps an ant colony, I like the idea of each of my brain cells being encased in armor, and the whole potential for immortality.

In short, white pride needs its negative connotations for being stupid, but once you go down that road so does black pride, country pride (unless you're very much politically active), pride in your favorite sports team, tall pride, or any other pride for an accomplishment you are related to in any fashion separate from choice/will/action.

In fact pride in choice of soda is more valid than pride in heritage.

Public admission: I am a coke supremacist. :)

And yet no one cares about the real reasons. The author touched on them mentioning broken homes and rotting "education". But what if I told him that the real cause was the hold he or she feels he has on his mate.

The attitude that it's ok to be jealous, that you're justified in keeping one person all to yourself like a horse in a stable, that your Children are yours to do with as you please so long as that pleasure falls within government guidelines.

Not, even he won't want to hear that if he doesn't instantly shut it out and laugh.

Enlightenment is painful people. You're all better off living like Leonard Shelby, burning the truth. Sadly the species, those children you claim to care for, the ones you pretend to own, they are the ones that will suffer.

Learning from their ignorant TV trained parents not how to deal with reality, but how to create, deploy, and live in a fantasy.

Still, great page.

Obama's Healthcare Plan: Dear Secret Service

Health Care
Establish a National Health Insurance Exchange with a range of private insurance options as well as a new public plan based on benefits available to members of Congress that will allow individuals and small businesses to buy affordable health coverage.


Dear Secret Service

Hi, my name is Brandon. I've been reading a bit about Obama and his intentions.

It seems clear to me that Obama is the first President we've had since Kennedy that cares about the people. The snippet above is just one tiny piece of evidence for this in a veritable ocean of good (both in terms of intelligence and compassion) thinking.

As the only government agency with a majority protection mandate. The others seem to be more about killing than defending. I would like to publicly offer my services.

Real heroism is taking risk, not applying risk. Shooting someone isn't heroic, taking a bullet, is.

I don't have many skills, and almost certainly none you'd find useful except one. I'm willing to seriously risk my life to keep this man alive so long as he's our president.

And given the power levels of the people he appears to be working against, and their penchant for violent reprisal in the form of terrorists and lone gunmen, that might actually come in handy someday.

So if you guys ever need me for human sand bag duty, I'm in.


If my reader's hadn't noticed. I REALLY like Obama. I think I would have liked Ron Paul more, given his desire to attack the evil at it's fiscal root, but hey the man is obviously trying, if he's not the greatest conman of all time.

Pro-Life Group up in Arms over Krispy Kreme's Abortion Doughnuts

Miami - Riptide 2.0 - Pro-Life Group up in Arms over Krispy Kreme's Abortion Doughnuts
Pro-Life Group up in Arms over Krispy Kreme's Abortion Doughnuts"The unfortunate reality of a post-Roe v. Wade America is that 'choice' is synonymous with abortion access, and celebration of 'freedom of choice' is a tacit endorsement of abortion rights on demand," the group's president, Judie Brown said in a statement.

Insurance, Medicine, Money and God.

Cool, but I wonder how much money persecond that cost.

TWO hearts? I had a gal bladder attack and that cost 900$ just to talk to someone, not so much as an injection. That's a hell of a cover charge.

And then there's this gem.

“I truly believe it’s a miracle,” said her mother, Twolla Anderson.


OMG Bitch! Could it be the result of a billion man hours of medical research? Could it be an organ harvesting and donation system that encompases the entire country? No of course not is was JEEBUS! Ya right, good thing you have science to keep your spawn alive, since odds are judging from their parental stock they're too dimwitted to do it on their own.

But hey then again fish do ok and they don't even have minds, but they do have productive genitals. I suppose it was only a matter of time before a mammal tried that approach.

Yeah next time pray to your imaginary friend instead of taking her to the hospital. And what about all the other kids that didn't get a heart that died this year? Tell me Twolla, what makes your brat so damn special that god himself is gunna suspend the laws of physics via a miricle to see that little D’Zhana pulls through? Why can't he be bother to hand a couple million people some of that fish and bread he's so famous for apparently making?

Beyond all that there's the cost to you and me. What cost? Insurance morons.

I am sick and goddamn tired of hospitals extorting the public and only stepping in when the people are monents from death and then charging millions to bring them back.

I want to know the underlieing cause here. Could this condition have been spotted and prevented with regualr medical care and good nutrition? We'll probabaly never know because unless you make 80k a year you don't get either, and while my reading skill may not be up to snuff I don't see anyone named "Twolla" on the fortune 500 top CEO list.

The problem here (as in may other areas of life in America) is the two party system’s compromising politics causing a blend of socialism and capitalism. The dems on the social side push for insurance coverage for everyone instead of an outright social healthcare system, and the republicans defend insurance companies and hospitals instead of attacking subsidized health insurance as social welfare in disguise.

The result is that while insurance is a socialist element in that it is dividing the cost to the individual among society. The hospitals and insurance companies both, buoyed on regulation compete but not against each other, but against themselves for higher profit margins, not for a bigger customer base, since becoming a hospital or insurance company is so regulated as to be impossible resulting in an oligarchy. All this leads to an upwards spiral where hospitals raise prices because they know that Patients have no choice, and most enough insurance anyway, so if they want to charge a middle class house wife a million for a liver, they can, and do. Then the insurance companies site this absurd cost as an operating expense, get tax write offs raise prices and eventually get government aid. The hospitals know that the government will always see to it that insurance companies at least exist, so there is no pressure to lower prices, and insurance companies know that people can't avoid being sick and the government will insure that there is no competition for medical services due to regulation, so there is no danger of a boycott of hospitals. The only recourse left to the common man is simply ignoring the absurdly high bills altogether, and refusing to pay them on principal, or exercising the dollar vote if you prefer.

But in steps the government once again to make damn sure that cost is passed on to the sick and poor, like always. By allowing the court system to be used as a police backed defacto collection agency with its liens and judgments, eventually prison, and now its tolerance for the hostage situation now developing between the credit ratings bureaus which shouldn’t exist in the first place and the credit for profit system which is equally bloated and corrupt, so they can now prevent you from finding a home or a job if you don't pay up.

What does the Gov get out of all this? Hard working drones unable to protest long hours and rights infringement because none of us can pay for insurance directly, we have to slave away for some corporation, and that means giving up a third of your money off the top to the government.

Your choices? Work and Pay or Die.

It's a protection racket plain and simple. I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Government is mafia given legitimacy by duration.
