Where's Sharpton on this one?

Oklahoma County district judge Tammy Bass-LeSure is accused of committing some ethics violations stemming from some personal conversations she had with her personal trainer regarding his pending drug case that was upcoming on the docket for her court. She allegedly advised him that if he pled guilty in her court to his pending drug charges, that he she would not sentence him to any prison time. She also allegedly advised him of three attorneys that know how to operate in her court. One of the attorneys on the list was Joe Brett Reynolds, one of Jerome Ersland's defense attornenys. Because of this, Judge LeSure as removed herself from the Ersland case after being asked to step down by prosecutors and the D.A. David Prater. For those of you not familiar with the Ersland case, he is being charged with FIRST DEGREE MURDER after shooting Antwun Parker six times after Parker and an accomplice attempted a robbery on his pharmacy. Apparently Ersland shot Parker once in the head and then ran outside after Parker's accomplice Jevontai Ingram. Ersland came back into the pharmacy and fired five more rounds into Parker because he still percieved him as a threat.
Now, Im no fan of David Prater; and frankly I think Mr. Ersland had every right to do what he did, but the NAACP accusing David Prater of racism for asking Judge LeSure to step down is rediculous to say the least. Im not sure if they forgot, but David Prater, the same D.A. who is rediculously charging Mr. Ersland with first degree murder for shooting a BLACK teenager, is also the one asking Judge LeSure to step down from the case.
It has nothing to do with race. I would call Mr. Prater a lib, however I would not call him a racist. This is another perfect example of the NAACP and other race pimps pulling the race card and it is beyond old. Stop freaking blaming others for your mistakes.

Shame on Al Sharpton.

Al Sharpton is absolutely disgusting. Whats more disgusting is that people give him credibility. His most recent spectacle was on 8/28, the same day that Glenn Beck held the Restoring Honor rally. "They may have 'da mall, but we have 'da message. They may have 'da platform, but we have 'da dream." Sharpton said. Oh yeah, Mr. Sharpton, what message is that? The only message that you have is a message that has been perverted and distorted so much that it is not even about civil rights anymore. Mr. Sharpton's message is nothing more than a cop-out. "We are still doubly unemployed black to white. We're not there yet. We're still four grades behind in reading and mathematics, we're not there yet. We're still the last hired, first fired; were not there yet" Yeah and your not going to get there by holding everyone else responsible for your problems. Mr, Sharpton's dream is for the federal government to subsidize mediocrity in the black community. It is exploitation for a personal gain if for nothing else than to make him feel better about himself. At what point is there truly "equality" so that I can stop seeing the race pimp cry foul every time there is a tea party, conservative rally, or a hurricane hits a location heavily populated by black Americans? Frankly, Al Sharpton's message is doing exponentially more harm than good. And by the way its hard to take him seriously when he has an ebonics undertone, or in the words of Harry Reid, a negro dialect throughout his whole speech.

I leave you with a video of the great Thomas Sowell on the Welfare State.

IRAN IS HOURS FROM BECOMING A NUCLEAR STATE

Its time to dust off the ol' keyboard and get back to doing what I love. Ranting and writing blogs. Its been nearly a year but Im back!

Within the next few hours Iran, with the help of Russia, will become the nuclear rogue state that we have all dreaded for years. The troubling thing is that seemingly nobody wants to do anything about it. The Obama regime is sure as hell not going to act, and they have been trying to convince Israel to sit back and do nothing as well. This is a catostrophic mindset. Iran has said over and over again that they want to wipe Israel off of the map, and they are about to be one step closer to being able to do it. Obviously sanctions have not worked and neither have harsh words from the international community. It is time for the stakeholders to take action. It will never happen though because Israel will not strike without knowing that they have the support of the United States and Mr. Obama could care less about Israel. Iran and the rest of the rogue middle eastern nations along with North Korea are laughing at us because all the Administration does is make threats. War is not a pretty thing, but sometimes a pre-emptive strike is necessary to prevent an exponentially bigger war.

Obama pandering to union goons again

President Obama absolutely did the wrong thing when imposing tariffs on tires manufactured in China.  Not only do I think that he did the wrong thing, I also think he did it purely for political reasons.  These protectionist policies are actually hurting the industry as a whole rather than helping it.  The producers aren’t benefiting, because they have to make a decision to keep their manufacturing in China and pay a lot of money to import it, or to shift their production elsewhere where there is cheap labor.  The consumers sure aren’t benefiting, because they are now paying more for low-end tires.  Small businesses are also getting hurt by this trade war that Obama has started.  There is a decreasing demand for tires right now anyway, because of the state of the economy.  Many people can’t afford to go and drop close to a thousand dollars on a set of tires, so they are putting it off.  Then once the price goes up by 10-15% that drives demand down even more. This tariff obviously did not make the Chinese government very happy, which is not good, considering that they are the ones that are buying the majority of our debt.  This is big government at its best.  
The only people who could possibly stand to benefit from such a thing as the tire tariff are the Unions, who want the government to step in and protect them from any sort of foreign competition, that way they can jack up the price of their own labor.  I found the quote from Ron Kirk funny, which said “Enforcing trade laws is key to maintaining an open and free trading system.”  Wait a second.  Enforcing trade laws is the key to a free trading system?  So imposing a 35% tax on tire imports from China somehow makes the trading system more free?  And all this time, I thought that more regulation meant less freedom.  How about reducing trade laws is the key to an open and free trading system.  If you scrape away all of the BS from Ron Kirk’s statement (which would leave you with nothing), you could see that what he really meant was “Pandering to the union bosses will get Obama re-elected, therefore securing my job.”

The Empirical Evidence Against Big Government

Just ran across this video from the bi-partisan Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation

Venice Film Festival Plays Host to Some Real Schmucks

The President isn't the only so-called American who is traveling the world spreading propoganda that America is evil and buddying up with dictators. Michael Moore and Oliver Stone are both in Venice this week promoting their Anti-American films. In Michael Moore's new movie "Capitalism: A Love Story," Moore calls capitalism "evil," saying that it encourages poverty while lifting up the rich man. Last time I checked, Mr. Moore, your net worth was exceeding eight figures. So he is in effect calling the very system that allowed him to accumulate his 50 million plus in net worth evil. If you're that woried about the poor and impoverished, why don't you go find some of those impoverished people that you so dearly care for, give them a place to live and pay for them to get an education so that they can provide for themselves? Doesn't that seem like a more effective way to help someone than to change the capitalist system that this country was built on to a socialist or communist system where everyone is compensated the same no matter how hard they work? If all of these rich-- dare i say- communists, who are so "concerned" about poverty in the United States would invest their money in the people themselves rather than in movies and such that are going to make them more money, then they might be taken a little bit more seriuosly. Michael Moore, you are nothing but a phony and a hypocrate.


Which brings me to Oliver Stone. Many of you may know him from movies that he has directed such as: Any Given Sunday, JFK, World Trade Center, Born on the Fourth of July, and Natural Born Killers. Well, He has a new movie coming out called South of the Border where he travels to Venezuela and teams up with none other than Hugo Chavez to document the changes that put these nice leaders such as Chavez in power. They claim that Hugo Chavez and the like represent the views of the majority of their people, and that they have brought great change to their countries such as reducing poverty and providing healthcare and welfare to their people. Nevermind that they are authoritarian dictators vying for a totalitarian form of government. To use a quote from Hugo Chavez's friend Barack Obama, "You can put lipstick on a pig," but at the end of the day it's still a pig.

I Pledge to Be of Service to Barack Obama!

Is it just me, or is there something very disturbing about this video. Even more disturbing, is that this is supposed to be played in our government schools for all of our kids to see. If I was a parent, I would be on the phone with the superintendent yelling and screaming for them to not be a part of this indoctrination. This is frightening, and if your not pissed off then there is something wrong.
