Feel like crap today, and too lazy to post much. So here is one of my rants from one year ago today. As you can see still bitter, still ranting, but having fun.
I gotta go find some You Tube comedy.
***********************
Ok, I have been a bit pre-occupied today but this post has been simmering since yesterday after listening to the Bill O’Reilly radio show.   He had
some dude on his show who was talking about how the internet and blogs have done considerable damage to American politics because of the mean spirited comments that come from these countless anonymous sources.
Without going into all of the bitching, moaning and complaining about the anonymity of the internet I want to tell political pundits, newspaper writers, television commentators, political hacks and the rest of you who have problems with us bloggers to fuck off.  We are here to stay. Get use to it.

I don’t care that you may find the comments of some offensive and a little over the top. I particularly don’t care for your bullshit call for civility in dealing with the way we talk about these over the top, crooked, evil, money grubbing political bastards.   But here’s the flip side - you don’t have to care about what I say either!  I call that a fair trade!

My opinions are just that, mine!  Whether it’s under the persona of Snoop or any other name I decide to use.   Using a blog or the internet to express oneself is just one more way (and a good one in my opinion) to exercise free speech rights.

Some idiot last week - in response to my about Michael Richards - moaned about me hiding behind my blog. Someone,  please explain to me just what the fuck is that supposed to mean?  If he knew me in person, or if we had the discussion face to face, it wouldn’t change what I say one whit. The only reason I don’t give out my name and address is because I don’t want my place of employment to have to explain me or have my family and friends become the target of some crazy shit.
But get real folks, if anyone gave a shit what I thought, and wanted to find me it tis possible.

This little blogs reaches a few hundred individuals a day, that’s it.
So who the hell am I influencing, nobody, no one damm person.

But for those who want to know, let me just outline the person behind this blog.

I am a simple working stiff; find the national median income and that is what I make.
I’m paying (WAS LOL!) back taxes from a screw up with the state IRS folks. I’m getting fucked over financially and legally,  but what can I do?  If they owe me a refund after this is all sorted out, it will be windfall.

I have 3 kids, 5 grandkids, 2 brothers a mother a father a very lovely and loving wife, a crazy but loving daughter in law and a son-in-law who is a great person.

I’m a Republican.  Always was and always will be, despite some idiots in the Party.

I am a 49er, A’s Warrior, Giants and Kansas University fan. I am a NCAA Video Football game junkie.  My favorite shows are everything from the old TV series such as “All in the Family” and Dallas, to today’s Dexter, Rome, CSI and the Sopranos.   

I like Baby Ruth candy bars and Crown Royal.  And I love Teddy bears.  I listen to Rush Limbaugh, and have for more than 18 (19) years;  in fact I listened to him long before it was fashionable.  I am a veteran; in the Air Force 9 years; I enlisted and was honorably discharged as a sergeant. While in the service, I managed to see France, Italy, Greece, Germany, Spain, England and a few places in between.
I have been to most of the U.S. except for Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Washington State and Alaska. I’d like to see those states too.

I was given a baseball scholarship that I didn’t use, and even played minor league ball for about a minute. I never graduated from college, but if I could tolerate spending a year or so at one I could get a degree in a heartbeat if someone else would pay the tuition.

I have met several Pulitzer Prize and Nobel Prize winners, a number of former U.S. Senators and Congressmen, several key military leaders past and present, and a former United States President. I have flown in an F-16, and a KC-135R and several other Air Force planes.
My brother took me on the aircraft carrier Enterprise when I was a kid.

I have worked my ass off in my community, raised money for worthy causes and volunteered time in many circumstances to help folks.  And I have been rewarded for those activities on numerous occasions, with things like plaques and titles!

I have been called a nigger numerous times, been discriminated against countless times, and been the only nigger in a room full of white people more times than I can count.  I have never been harassed by a police officer as an adult, but was carted off in a police car once for being the only nigger kid in an upper middle class neighborhood.  Which is where I lived by the way.

I take meds to keep my mind in check and I enjoy the view of my 16′ by 5′ seamless glass window in my office at work, likely the nicest office in the city. If not the whole state.

I’m black and I’m proud.

So when idiot political leaders, act like a bunch of hypocrites, or say stupid shit like “macca”, when they raise my taxes for  political pork, utter racially insensitive shit like “the only way you can only get so many blacks in the same room is to invite the hotel staff” (or whatever that jackass Dean said), when stupid Hollywood actors shout “NIGGER” to an audience or say “Americans are stupid” or that America is selfish,” when anti-American politicians want to be sworn in using the Quran, hide bribery money in a freezer, or a mayor who refers to his city as “chocolate city”, when Muslims use women and children as war shields, or racist fucks use their kids to sing racist songs to country music tunes, when Gays compare the civil right struggles of blacks with their own or pro-choice advocates refuse to be called what they really are - “pro-abortion advocates” - when ignorant ass people still insist that Bush was the cause of 9/11 or those same stupid jackasses chant “no blood for oil” while driving an SUV and decorate their fake oil product Christmas tree while the house is kept nice and toasty with gas, when white Christians only goes to church with other white Christians, likewise black only worshiping with
other blacks, or when black women portray themselves as hoe bitches in rap music videos……..then this guy called Snoop, the man described above,  will give his opinion.  You can reply to him if you’d like. 

If someone or some network wants to pay me a good wage for my sharing my opinions, I’ll gladly post my name, tone down the language, tone down the rhetoric, be kinder, nicer more civil.

Meanwhile, I dedicate a few hours a day to giving my two cents on various topics. As long as this is my hobby, not my job, I’m not under any obligation (morally legally or any other way) to be more civil and engage in a civil, friendly debate.  If you don’t like to read my stuff, then don’t.  I don’t care.

Hell, I had some right leaning bloggers tell me long ago that they would not link to me because of my use of “colorful” language. I have a relatively few people linking to me, when you consider my hit counts.  I
guess that a ranting Negro is not someone many people want to associate with or certainly link to.  Their loss.

I could not even get Michelle Malkin to accept me as a friend on her “my space” page, but she certainly has lots of confederate flag rednecks there, despite me linking to her video blog and website.  I guess she’d rather have red-necks who don’t cuss then someone who agrees with her who uses the “F” word a little bit.

So the indignation or upset about my blog comes not only from people who disagree with me but also those who more likely agree.  I’m not a pleasant and well mannered Negro.

So in terms of a civil debate, what the hell is there to debate if you are always required to remain polite?

If you want to try and convince me that liberalism is good for America, we have nothing to discuss or debate.   If you want to try and convince me that global warming will kill all of us in 20 years, and that Al Gore has something meaningful to say, we have nothing to discuss or debate.  If you want to believe that racism is over in America, we have nothing to discuss or debate.  If you want to believe that Hillary Clinton will make a great president, we have nothing to discuss.

If you believe that Bush was responsible for 9/11…..shit you are just flat a retard. 

Bloggers have a responsibility to expose the bed sores of American culture, in it rawest form.
I certainly don’t believe this is a hindrance to the American political scene, but a huge asset. We may have crazies among us (myself included perhaps) but all too often, it just such voices that are the “Canaries in the mine” - i.e. the ones who say first and loudest that we are in trouble.   So you better listen, even if you don’t like the messages, for your own safety!

Ryan Sager, recently came to KU and spoke about politics. This very young man has already attained much in the way of respect in many circles.  While at KU he said the most honest thing I have heard said about politics: “Any normal human being, who actively seeks political office, must be looked upon dubiously.”

Politics is showbiz for the ugly. Frankly we are obligated to shine the bright light of scrutiny on these cockroaches, to keep them from corrupting our society any more than it already is.
If George Soros, Carl Rove, Bill O’reilly whoever, wants to pay Snoop for this blog space, I’ll happily turn it over to them. I’m sure they will turn it over to a more “civil toned” individual.
However, until I receive that fat check, I say to you, most sincerely and sensitively - fuck off.
