I imagine it has happened to all bloggers who attempt to post all kinds of shit on a daily basis. You either simply lose interest or you just get tired of reading all of the crap the world has to offer each day.I hit the wall last night during Sean Hannity’s discussion of Reverend Wrong.
I don’t know about you folks although I may be on the same page ideologically or politically Hannity fucken annoys the shit out of me because he beats a point to death not to mention I think I just don’t like his voice… sorry I digress.

I’ll admit I’m fucken sick of hearing about the conniving, manipulative Negro presidential aspiration killing jackass who like way too many black folks who will metaphorically put a cap in yo ass if you demonstrate any measure of individuality and diss the Negrodom Pastoral Hierarchy.

All you have to do is look at the Rev Wright situation and see why I have said many times the reason why I have always been very selective about what Negros I would hang with is because Negros will stab another Negro in the back without batting an eye.

I have some dear friends back east who are like brothers to me and I would do just about anything for any of them, but unfortunately they are the exception when it comes to dealing with Negros.
What Rev Wright is doing to Obama is frankly criminal, although I have no interest in an Obama presidency having another Nigga be the one who is responsible for your downfall is all too common in the Negrodom.

I hope I’m not repeating this little story forgive me if I have.
When I was part of a health care facility, my former boss, myself and a few other folks, all black were at the core of getting the project off the ground. This project was to address health care issues in the “black community.” When we went around the community to address the project to what we thought were interested individuals (again all black) we got the cold shoulder.
Fast forward, we finally say fuck these worthless Niggas, we then decided to pitch the project to the CEO of one of the major hospitals in town. He loved the concept, mainly because of our educational approach to dealing with health issues.
On the spot he committed $600,000 to the project. Soon after we went to several bank CEO’s, all of them committed not only financial assistance but several wanted to be part of the board for the project.
With the help of a wide range of folks ALL WHITE we raised over $2 million in less than 9 months. BUT my boss decided that before we break ground on the facility we must have the support of the black community.
Her point was if black folks won’t commit financially and “spiritually” to a project specifically designed to help the black community we would be wasting our time, money and effort.
We set a fundraising goal of $100,000 from the black community and we would not break ground until we reached that goal.
We came up with all sorts of gimmicks and fundraising activities and we hoped to get the black churches involved. One major black church committed $35,000 to the project, and it was only after that gift the other black churches committed small bullshit sums.
You would not believe how much grief we got from black folks, some actually voiced that a health care facility was not needed and any money raised for the project should go to job training programs and other stuff. One skank Negro lady actually wrote an editorial harshly critical of the project because…. she was the CEO of another in her mind “rival” clinic although not in the same neighborhood but already doing the same thing we proposed to do. Bunch of crap, but what the hell.

What the fuck is your point Snoop? My point is black folks are far more likely to fuck you over. All of ranting that goes on in beauty and barber shops or the black church about the plight of the Negro in this racist white world is all subterfuge to keep Negros from straying too far from the “collective.” Think the Borg from Star Trek.

Negros should all dress the same, get the same haircuts, listen to the same music, watch the same TV shows, worship in the same way, vote the same way, read only Negro publications, subscribe to the same Negro dogma because after all who else are y’all gonna turn to when whitey burns a cross in your yard, or denies you a job or promotion, or the po- po (police) beats you down on some bogus criminal rap.
Whitey wants up all to just fucken die!!

Succumbing to the ways of evil whitey whether that be eating their strange food, or watching Friends or Frasier, or caving in to whitey special interests is detrimental to the Negro cause and we can’t have our brothas and sistas circling the drain into honkey oblivion.
You can tell a Negro who has been co-opted by whitey, will he “ax” or “ask” a question? Does he correctly clap with the beat? Does he drink that strange whitey European brand of beer versus the more common Malt Liquor? Does he buy menthol cigarettes? Is his car equipped with the common Negro accessories such as spinner rims? Oh and God help him if he is dating A WHITE WOMAN!

All of this Wright and Obama talk has opened some serious wounds that most Negros would just assume stay hidden.
This mess has prompted me to rant more than usual about Negro dirty laundry which of course is a mortal sin because 99 percent of the people who read this blog are white, my mind has indeed been poisoned by the white devil.

The airing of Negro dirty laundry, reading about the latest global warming scam idiocy, listening to these moronic political pundits rant all fucken day about the same piece of news or latest Obama gaff has just drained me I guess.

I have been blogging for almost 4 years and I feel like I’m repeating myself with each post. How many times can I rant about “liberal idiots” or point out the latest lie from Hillary.

I can see why many of the top blogs have teams of individuals posting stuff to keep the content fresh or relevant.
Maybe I’m just in one of my moods, or I just need a good stiff drink or I just need a break.

If anyone out there has something to say about anything I’ll step aside for a few days and will only post rants from other folks here.
If you are a leftist and want to write a scathing rebuke to my rants have at it.
Pissed at your boyfriend or girlfriend and want to air some dirty laundry here is a free platform with a fairly decent sized blog audience.
If you are a racist and think Negros would be better off in Africa or want to rant about the white honkey devil the floor is yours.

C’MON PEOPLE SPEAK UP AND MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!!!!!!!

JACKASS!

(link) DOVER, N.J. - New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor told a Latino group it’s a civil offense _ not a crime _ for immigrants to live in the country without proper documentation, a comment that a spokesman later said was aimed at a narrowly worded question.U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie, widely considered to be a leading GOP contender for governor next year, spoke Sunday in response to a question on illegal immigration at an open forum that grew heated. He said living in the U.S. without immigration paperwork is “an administrative matter” that federal immigration officials are supposed to address through deportation.

“Don’t let people make you believe that that’s a crime that the U.S. attorney’s office should be doing something about,” Christie was quoted as saying in The Star-Ledger of Newark for Monday editions. “It is not.”

Christie stressed that lacking immigration documents is not a crime unless the person was previously deported.

Critics quickly categorized Christie’s remarks as soft on illegal immigration.

In a statement clarifying the remarks, Christie spokesman Michael Drewniak said that although lacking documents is not necessarily a crime in itself, it is a federal misdemeanor to enter the country without going through the proper immigration channels, or to enter by using fraudulent documents.

Christie “did not say, nor did he mean, that entering this country through any means other than the appropriate immigration channels is a lawful act. It is not,” Drewniak said in a statement.

An immigrant could be in the country illegally without making an illegal entry or using fraudulent documents if he or she overstayed a visa.

Christie, who was appointed by President Bush in 2001, made the remarks during a community forum organized by the Latino Leadership Alliance of New Jersey.

He told the audience it doesn’t take a “genius” to see there’s a serious immigration problem in this country and that the U.S. needs tighter border security.

“If there are people out there committing crimes, they should be dealt with,” he said. “If there are undocumented people running around, then Immigration and Customs Enforcement should do their jobs.”

Edward Correa, a member of the Latino Leadership Alliance, said the dozens of people who attended Christie’s speech had a mixed reaction to his comments.

In 2005, U.S. Rep. James Sensenbrenner introduced legislation to criminalize any undocumented status. Though the attempt was unsuccessful, it triggered massive pro-immigrant marches across the nation.

Marc Ambinder Toxic: Mississippi Dem distances himself from Obama via Hot Air

A play from the National Republican Congressional Committee’s playbook is executed to perfection. Travis Childers, a candidate for Mississippi’s first congressional district, told reporters yesterday that Barack Obama hasn’t endorsed his campaign, despite an ad by his opponent linking the two and Rev. Wright. Said Childers: “I’ve not been in contact with his campaign, nor has he been in contact with mine.” The ad refers to efforts by Obama supporters to raise money for Childers through the MyBarackObama.com portal.

A key blunder was the ill-conceived response to high energy prices by promoting grain-based biofuels…

###

Food scientists say stop biofuels to fight world hunger

WASHINGTON (AP) — Some top international food scientists Tuesday recommended halting the use of food-based biofuels, such as ethanol, saying it would cut corn prices by 20 percent during a world food crisis.But even as the scientists were calling for a moratorium, President Bush urged the opposite. He declared the United States should increase ethanol use because of national energy security and high gas prices.  - IDIOT!

The conflicting messages Tuesday highlighted the ongoing debate over food and fuel needs.

The three senior scientists with an international research consortium pushing a biofuel moratorium said nations need to rethink programs that divert food such as corn and soybeans into fuel, given the burgeoning worldwide food crisis. The group, CGIAR, is a global network that uses science to fight hunger. It is funded by dozens of countries and private foundations.

If leading nations stopped biofuel use this year, it would lead to a price decline in corn by about 20 percent and wheat by about 10 percent from 2009-10, said Joachim von Braun. He heads the International Food Policy Research Institute in Washington, the policy arm of CGIAR. The United States is the biggest biofuel producer.

He and the other scientists said work should be stepped up on the use of non-grain crops, such as switchgrass, for biofuel.

Another scientist, not associated with the group, agreed with their call for a halt on the use of grain for fuel.

“We need to feed the stomach before we need to feed our cars,” said Rattan Lal, an Ohio State University soil sciences professor who in the past has been a critic of some of CGIAR’s priorities. “We have 1 billion people who are food insecure. We can’t afford the luxury of not taking care of them and taking care of gasoline.”

How’s this for a double bind: Moonbat-imposed indoor smoking bans are said to exacerbate moonbats’ beloved global warming farce.

Fewer cigarettes get lit indoors in bars and restaurants because of smoking bans from California to Ireland but something else is going up in smoke from a sidewalk in central Oslo — about $100,000 a year in extra outdoor heating bills.

The heated pavement, installed at a cost of about $400,000, may be the most extreme example of an environmental side-effect of smoking bans: rocketing power use. […T]hink of all the thousands of extra gas and electricity heaters outdoors spurred by the smoking bans around the world…

If only global warming were real, soon we wouldn’t need outdoor heaters. Unfortunately higher power bills are real enough. Once again we see that for every heavy-handed moonbat action, there is a reaction of unintended consequences that leaves the world worse off.

In case you missed it…

The EU is moving to ban outdoor patio heaters, upsetting incense bar and restaurant owners. Environmentalists back the plan, arguing the heaters make a significant contribution to global warming.

She is a nut too!

By Rev. Dr. Barbara A. Reynolds
Reynolds News Service
Without the prophetic, bold voices and organizing ability of leaders like Pastor Jeremiah Wright of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago there would be no U.S. Senator Barack Obama with a decent chance at becoming the first black president of the United States.

And it is a sad testimony that to protect his credentials as a unifier above the fray the Senator is fueling the media characterization that Rev. Dr. Wright is some retiring old uncle in the church basement instead of respecting Wright for the towering astute father of progressive social and global causes that he is.
For 20 years, Rev. Wright has been a ” friend, mentor and pastor.” This is how Sen. Obama described him in a letter dated February 5, 2007.

In that letter, the senator wrote “I constantly remember Rev. Wright as the shepherd who guided me to my commitment to Christ one Sunday morning at Trinity. I often consider, as I work in the Senate how he lives his life—a life of service to Trinity, Chicago and the nation; his activism on behalf of causes that few would champion and his dogged commitment to the first principles of love for God and fellow man. And in my personal walk, I seek daily to imitate his faith.”

Pastor Jeremiah Wright is no weird, anti-American hater and separatist cult leader. He loved his country enough to serve in the U.S. Marines. His denomination, the United Church of Christ, is a 90 percent white denomination. As a pastor, Wright married the Obamas, baptized their children, and a Wright sermon provided the title of Obama’s best-selling book “The Audacity of Hope.”
The Jeremiah I know is a sought-after preacher in seminaries across the country. I have traveled with him, introduced him at the National Press Club and use his tapes as teaching tools in my prophetic ministry classes at the Howard University School of Divinity, where he often preaches to adoring audiences.

I am inspired by Wright’s leadership as the founding father of the Samuel D. Proctor conference, which is directed by Dr. Iva Carruthers, a Trinity member. The Conference is the progressive wing of the Black Church and represents some 50 million people through an ecumenical cross section of clergy and inter-faith leaders across the nation.
When black and poor people were devastated by the double tragedies of Katrina and governmental indifference, the Conference impaneled a commission of citizen activists to investigate. They authored a report, “The Breach,” which documented the governmental abuses, and solutions. The Conference is still working with Katrina victims, while so many others have deserted them. Both Senators Hillary Clinton and Obama worked with this effort.

Pastor Wright is being brutally trashed for his controversial sermons. The mainstream media are the guilty culprit in all of this partly because of ignorance of the historic role of the Black Church, which was born out of the crucible of slavery, lynching and Jim Crow, If those injustices had not been raised with passion, blacks would still be on the plantation, a point that Trinity’s new pastor Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III, nicely raised in an interview on CNN.

Secondly, Pastor Wright seems so radical because so many churches aren’t saying anything. Instead of preaching and organizing against the unjust war in Iraq that has claimed more than 4,000 U.S. lives and 30,000 Iranian lives, the cradle to grave prison industrial pipeline, inadequate education, and other social ills, so many mega-church leaders are hooping about prosperity and allowing politicians drive through photo ops in their churches without holding their feet to the fire.

Wright stands out because so many others are sitting down. There are not many churches where the social gospel of Dr. King is preached. The media have watered down the volumes of King’s sermonic contributions to “I have a Dream,” although King spoke out strongly against such issues as the Vietnam War just as Wright is campaigning against the horrors of the ill-fated war in Iraq today.
In his letter from a Birmingham jail, King excoriated the comfortable positions of white moderates. “Like a boil that can never be cured as long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its pus-flowing ugliness, injustice must likewise be exposed, with all of the tension its exposing creates before it can be cured.” Wright exposes injustice in much the same way.

Wright is much more than a Sunday morning wonder. He had launched more than 70 active ministries that provide housing complexes for senior citizens, day care for children, ministries for people living with HIV and help for families of the incarcerated.
Whether you disagree or agree with Wright’s controversial statements it is a terrible disservice to ignore his contributions as a theologian, pastor, and educator. It is ludicrous that a pastor who has preached more than 207,000 minutes for the past 36 years at Trinity on Sunday, not to mention his weekday worship services, revivals and global preaching, should be judged by a couple of 15 or 30 second sound bytes.

Furthermore, Pastor Rod Parsley of Columbus, Ohio, who is a spiritual adviser to Republican front-runner John McCain, has made ugly comments about destroying “the false religion of Islam” at a time when American- born Muslims are fighting for the United States in Iraq. Somehow this hate speech doesn’t provoke outrage.
While Sen. Obama may have to distance himself from his pastor to play the game of politics, it is unwise for any of us to burn the bridges that brought us across.

Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s crucial Pennsylvania primary victory last week came with the help of a patchwork of political support: working-class voters, seniors, white men, Catholics, women and - maybe even the Great Satan.Rush Limbaugh may be his real name, but to millions of Democratic grassroots voters, especially on the left, the conservative icon who’s been called the most influential radio broadcaster in America reigns as the political Prince of Darkness.

Even more so during a 2008 presidential race in which Limbaugh has assumed a new title, “commander,” as he heads a drive dubbed “Operation Chaos,” a gleeful and, he argues, increasingly successful effort to wreak havoc with the Democratic primary system and its candidates, Clinton and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.

Limbaugh’s effort, which began early this year, is a call to arms urging conservatives and Republican voters to re-register as Democrats - and create chaos in that party’s presidential nomination process by casting a vote.

The proof that it is working, Limbaugh says, is in the unusual turnout of turncoats: An estimated 100,000 GOP voters crossed over in Tuesday’s Pennsylvania primary. And he argues it’s no coincidence that TV networks last week appeared reluctant to rely on exit polling and waited more than an hour before calling a solid Keystone State win for Clinton. “Operation Chaos” loyalists have been following orders to mess with exit pollers en masse - by lying to them, Limbaugh says.

“The endgame is to see that neither of these candidates can win by virtue of the primaries,” Limbaugh told The Chronicle last week. “One or the other will win only when the superdelegates decide who they want. And whoever the supers choose will infuriate the loser’s supporters. More chaos.”

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright couldn’t have done more damage to Barack Obama’s campaign if he had tried. And you have to wonder if that’s just what one friend of Wright wanted.Shortly before he rose to deliver his rambling, angry, sarcastic remarks at the National Press Club Monday, Wright sat next to, and chatted with, Barbara Reynolds.

A former editorial board member at USA Today, she runs something called Reynolds News Services and teaches ministry at the Howard University School of Divinity. (She is an ordained minister).

It also turns out that Reynolds - introduced Monday as a member of the National Press Club “who organized” the event - is an enthusiastic Hillary Clinton supporter.

On a blog linked to her Web site- www.reynoldsnews.com- Reynolds said in a February post: “My vote for Hillary in the Maryland primary was my way of saying thank you” to Clinton and her husband for the successes of Bill Clinton’s presidency.

The same post criticized Obama’s “Audacity of Hope” theme: “Hope by definition is not based on facts,” wrote Reynolds. It is an emotional expectation. Things hoped for may or may not come. But help based on experience trumps hope every time.”

In another blog entry, Reynolds gives an ever-sharper critique of Obama: “It is a sad testimony that to protect his credentials as a unifier above the fray, the senator is fueling the media characterization that Rev. Dr. Wright is some retiring old uncle in the church basement.”

I don’t know if Reynolds’ eagerness to help Wright stage a disastrous news conference with the national media was a way of trying to help Clinton - my queries to Reynolds by phone and e-mail weren’t returned yesterday - but it’s safe to say she didn’t see any conflict between promoting Wright and supporting Clinton.

It’s hard to exaggerate how bad the actual news conference was. Wright, steeped in an honorable, fiery tradition of Bible-based social criticism, cheapened his arguments and his movement by mugging for the cameras, rolling his eyes, heaping scorn on his critics and acting as if nobody in the room was learned enough to ask him a question.

Wright has, unquestionably, been caricatured and vilified unfairly. The feeding programs, prison outreach and other social services he has built over more than 30 years are commendable, and his reading of the Judeo-Christian tradition as an epic story of people trying to escape slavery is far more right than wrong - and not something to be caricatured or compressed into a 10-second sound bite.

But Wright should have known - and his friend and ally Reynolds, a media professional, surely knew - that bickering with the press can only harm Wright and, by extension, Obama.

I hope that wasn’t their goal.

Mrs. Snoop is my witness. She knows that I have said for as least long as I have known her - and I promise you long before that - that Sunday is the most segregated day of the week.Faith is personal; faith is deeply engrained in the soul. And I’m not talking about Faith. I’m talking about how one goes about expressing ones faith. How one chooses to worship and publicly express that Faith.I have always believed that who you choose to worship with is a far more important aspect of your individual character than just about anything else. In most cases, Blacks and Whites (and just about every other race and creed)have specifically chosen to keep their specific worshiping practices separate.

As far as I’m concerned, churches are nothing more than clubs, fraternities or sororities; a religiously sanctioned excuse to congregate with “your own kind.” And everyone who regularly attends a church does it.

People of different races may work together, play together, eat together, etc., and have no problem. But, sharing the gospel under the same roof is totally unacceptable to the vast majority of individuals who practice their faith.

Because we are blinded to the possibilities of other realities and points of view is exactly why we have more religious denominations than people to populate them.

Far too many people live their daily lives bogged down by religious and spiritual dogma. They relegate themselves to what I would call spiritual and intellectual jail cells.

It could be something as silly as barring themselves from eating certain foods or engaging in what they might call “secular” no-nos because they have convinced themselves that God Almighty actually gives a shit whether or not you celebrate a birthday, or light a candle on a certain day or whether or not you are able to recite a church or a denominationally sanctioned prayer.

Individuals become spiritually and emotionally handicapped by human dogma emotionally hogtied to specific religious convictions that restrict God given emotional and spiritual growth. God must do a lot of laughing, or crying, at how human beings have screwed up everything, including and especially worshiping their creator!

I have attended a fair number of worship services from Mormon to Methodist from Seventh Day Adventist to Catholic. I have always been amazed at the number of creative ways each have decided to craft their ceremonies and rituals and even how each decides how to decorate their house or worship. Even the rules surrounding how individuals should conduct themselves outside the church walls varies from denomination to denomination.

I could be wrong on this, but I have always believed that all of these “rules” are specifically designed to present an air of individuality to that specific congregation. A lot of people badly want or need to feel “special.” The goal not to simply honor God or religious symbol of choice but to present a feeling of isolation or separation from those who are not members of that specific club. Being part of your specific congregation is somehow “special” or “superior” ‘to those heathens who attend that rival church down the block.

Rev Jeremiah Wright, who is now on his personal money making and legacy crusade, is using this self induced racial religious isolation to his own personal advantage. Using the “mystery” of the black church experience in order to charge that the reason white folks around the nation misinterpreted his remarks is because no white person could understand the distinct disadvantages faced by black Americans and the black church. Oh, and he is uniquely qualified in educating black folks (and now white America) to the realities of American injustice. He says that this is a constant message preached in black churches around the country. If you are White, or Black and not attending church regularly, how the hell would you know otherwise?

A small percentage of white people might want to venture to a black church to see first hand what actually goes on. But most are too occupied with healing their own spiritual wounds from the previous week to go out looking to be further abused. Most people don’t go looking for abuse while attending a church service.

This Wright controversy serves as a stark reminder that the problem of the color line still divides the U.S. and its churches. Rev. Wright is simply taking advantage of that ignorance and taking it upon himself to be the misunderstood voice of the black church and black people.

I have read a number of Negro apologists say that this debate “obscures the rich and necessary prophetic role of the black church,” as one writer puts it.

Rev. Otis Moss III, the new Pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, has said “that we do a grave disservice by boiling down over 207,000 minutes of Dr. Wright’s preaching into a handful of 30-second sound bites,” (and in his mind) “most taken out of context.” However you don’t need to have a self-promotion tour to explain yourself when you are speaking the word of God to your congregation. Of course white people could never understand the context of Rev Wright’s words because supposedly black folks process the truth differently than white folks. We do? You mean the truth is not the truth universally?

All of this nonsense further promotes the racial divisions that had been slowly eroded over the years, not to mention the perceived acceptance of white Americans to Obama’s presidential bid.

Again although I’m not a regular church attendee I have no beef with those who use the church forum to speak out about the health of our democracy. Or to call their flock, or the world over, on the carpet for not leading better lives. Prophetic speech is characterized by an overwhelming sense of an encounter with God and a message of moral and political judgment that a prophet feels divinely compelled to proclaim. I don’t believe that biblical prophets, preachers, pastors, priests should mince words or shy away from controversy and I understand that many prophets and preachers are often misunderstood. Years ago many were persecuted, and sometimes even killed for their words.

However, “religious” leaders who pretend to foretell the future in the name of God, who attack the humanity of others, or who set up manmade rules and pretend they are from God do not speak out against injustice while calling folks back to God’s word and his kingdom. They are people who want to merely make a buck (or millions), get attention, have power over others, or simply be big wheels in some fish pond.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. himself pronounced judgment against America for the sin of racism and the cancer of Jim Crow segregation. King called on America to become the “beloved community, ensuring that God’s demands for dignity and justice and the rights guaranteed by the Constitution were afforded to all Americans.”

Remember King also described his issues with the war in Vietnam when he said

 “America would never invest the necessary funds or energies in rehabilitation of its poor so long as adventures like Vietnam continued to draw men and skills and money, like some demonic, destructive suction tube. And you may not know it, my friends, but it is estimated that we spend $500,000 to kill each enemy soldier, while we spend only fifty-three dollars for each person classified as poor, and much of that fifty-three dollars goes for salaries to people that are not poor. So I was increasingly compelled to see the war as an enemy of the poor, and attack it as such.”

In his Beyond Vietnam speech delivered at New York’s Riverside Church on April 4, 1967 a year to the day before he was murdered King called the United States “the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today.”

So yes, it is possible to speak up against the actions of your country and still be a person of Faith. Because of white guilt America likes to romanticize the Dr. King of Montgomery and Selma, but often ignores the “King of Memphis” that demanded a living wage, or the King of Riverside Church who declared silence around the Vietnam War as betrayal.

I’m certain that Rev Wright and other pretenders to the “black throne” see themselves as King disciples. However I don’t see sincerity in the rhetoric Wright spews.
Wright is not interested in healing America nor the reconciliation he spoke about this morning.

Negros like Wright are only interested in seizing the monetary gains that Anti-American rhetoric provides. Wright is not likely to be gunned down by some angry gunman. Rather, it is more likely that some very liberal (is there any other kind?) university will pay him a handsome salary to rant about the ills of America to a bunch of young white skulls of mush while sipping red wine in his soon to be finished $10 million home in an all white community. Dr. King I doubt saw a lucrative future in speaking out about American injustices. In fact, Dr. King gave away the money he won when given the Nobel Peace Prize, and insisted that his family live where they always had – with the common people. Rev. Wright is not likely to ever do that. 

I’ve been watching the news all day and the legions of political commentators appear on TV trying to explain Rev Wright when it is so clear to me that why he is on this speaking tour, the almighty EVIL American dollar.

While some pastors truly devote themselves to bringing people to God, Wright as I have said sees a cash cow. Why it is so hard for others in the media to see this is mind-boggling to me.

Meanwhile, if you personally want to end racism, how about crossing the most important race barrier still in existence. The church line is alive and well, and living it up in America!

Michelle Malkin - Liveblogging Wright at the National Press Club

My quick two cents, lots going on at work…

I listened to the Rev Wright at the National Press Club. The one thing that is obvious to me is that Rev Wright has clearly turned on Obama. I’m not talking about any specifics of his message this morning because all dude did was draw a line in the sand and is attempting to drive a wedge between the races and saying that the attacks on him are “not about him” but an attack on the black church trying to recruit Negros into his intellectual race war.

Folks although I’m not a particularly “religious” individual I did spend enough time in churches and in particular black churches to know that the ridiculous rhetoric and the divisive message preached by Rev. Wright is not “common” in black churches.
But forget about “the black church” or Rev Wright’s prior sermons, or any specifics in his presentation this morning.
What Rev. Wright is engaging in is “showbiz clergy” I know that is a slightly clumsy phrase, but it speaks to individuals not wanting to bring individuals closer to God and his message but to create an audience for his religious shtick.
Think about it in terms of Howard Stern and his sexually explicit skits on his show, or Bill Maher in his over the top rants on conservatives and Christians, or Keith Olbermann’s constant anti-Republican rants or even Rush who obviously caters to a conservative audience.
Wright sees a golden opportunity for some big paydays in the future and I’m convinced that dude is on the Clinton payroll.
If you watched his demeanor during his presentation, dude is enjoying himself and soaking up all of the attention and white liberal folks can’t get enough of him.
It’s obvious that there are a lot of very angry pissed off Negros in America, whether that anger is justified is up for individual interpretation. Rev Wright’s fame and fortune is all tied to this perceived black anger unfortunately to the detriment of Obama because Obama was being seen as the messiah the person who would bridge the racial gap in America. people like Rev Wright don’t want to see that happen because anger division is translated into dollar signs.
Wright is set to raise the level of race hustling to new heights and to install himself as the NEW self appointed head of America’s black consciousness.

Forget about his ranting about this “liberation theology” bullshit. Black folks who are poor, broke, uneducated and filled with doubt will not be spending their waking hours Googling “liberation theology” and examining the specifics and ideological rants found in Rev Wright’s words.
This speaking tour is about building a lasting legacy by being viewed by the white media as the new face and perceived new “leader” of Black America.
He wants the fortune, fame and adoration the liberal media has bestowed on the Jessie Jackson’s and the Al Sharpton’s of the world.
Rev Wright although controversial you can’t deny his charisma and powerful persona comes across as far more articulate, educated as either Sharpton or Jackson.
As far as Rev. Wright is concerned if Obama’s presidential campaign has to be thrown under the bus to make room for the new voice of Black America so be it.

Here are a few questions Wright took after his presentation. Had to cut off because of You Tube time length, but he responded to some oft asked questions concerning him.

(link) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is fond of quoting a particular passage of Scripture. The quote, however, does not appear in the Bible and is fictional, according to biblical scholars.

In her April 22 Earth Day news release, Pelosi said, The Bible tells us in the Old Testament, “To minister to the needs of God’s creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us.”  On this Earth Day, and every day, let us pledge to our children, and our children’s children, that they will have clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and the opportunity to experience the wonders of nature.

Cybercast News Service repeatedly queried the speaker’s office for two days to determine where the alleged Bible quote is found. Thus far, no one has responded. 

Claude Mariottini, a professor of Old Testament at Northern Baptist Theological Seminary, told Cybercast News Service the passage not only doesn’t exist - it’s fictional.

“It is not in the Bible,”  Mariottini said. There is nothing that even approximates that.

In the age of Google, the internet and blogs how dumb do you have to be as a politician to just start making up quotes from the most-published books of all time?

######

Cybercast News Service has learned that Pelosi has repeatedly used the quote:– In December 2005, in a Christmas message to the U.S. House of Representatives, Pelosi said: “Mr. Speaker, as we leave for this Christmas recess, let us say, ‘God bless you’ to the American people by voting against this Republican budget and statement of injustice and immorality, and let us not let the special interest goose get fat at the expense of America’s children.“The gentleman from Washington [state], Mr. McDermott, quoted the prophet Isaiah. And as the Bible teaches us, to minister to the needs of God’s creation is an act of worship, to ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us. Let us vote no on this budget as an act of worship and for America’s children.”– On Feb. 8, 2007, in remarks before the U.S. House Science and Technology Committee, when it held hearings on global warming, she used the same quote, verbatim, as in her Earth Day release.

– On April 6, 2007, in congressional remarks before the Easter recess: “In this Holy Week, we are reminded of these words in the Old Testament: ‘To minister to the needs of God’s creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us.’ We must move quickly to honor God’s creation by reducing greenhouse gas pollution in the United States and around the world.”

– On April 25, 2007, in a speech to the League of Conservation Voters in Washington, D.C.: “We are now charging ahead to tackle one of humanity’s greatest challenges yet - global warming. We will do this because we hold our children’s future in our hands - not our grandchildren, or great-grandchildren, but our own children. “As it says in the Old Testament, ‘To minister to the needs of God’s creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us.’”

– On Oct. 22, 2007, in a television interview with PBS host Tavis Smiley, she used it in discussion of her roots, attributing the quote to the book of Isaiah: “I’m raised in a family in Baltimore, Maryland, my father was the mayor. He was in Congress when I was born. And we were devoutly Catholic, very patriotic. We love America. Devoutly Catholic, deeply patriotic, proud of our Italian American heritage, and in our case, staunchly Democratic.

“And that faith was related to our Democratic values. That is to say, the gospel of Matthew: ‘When I was hungry, you gave me to eat.’ You know, the least of our brethren. So that’s an inspiration in the New Testament. In the Old Testament, Isaiah says, ‘To minister to the needs of God’s creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the god who made us.’”

Mis-remembered? Mis-paraphrased?

 (link)  Many of you have written to me to ask why I recently taped an advertisement with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for The Alliance for Climate Protection, a group founded by former Vice President Al Gore.I completely understand why many of you would have questions about this, so I want to take this opportunity to explain my reasons. First of all, I want to be clear: I don’t think that we have conclusive proof of global warming. And I don’t think we have conclusive proof that humans are at the center of it.

But here’s what we do know. There is an important debate going on right now over the right energy policy, the right environmental policy, and making sure we do the right things for our future and the future of our children and grandchildren. Conservatives are missing from this debate, and I think that’s a mistake. When it comes to preserving our environment for future generations, we can’t have a slogan of “Just yell no!”

I have a different view. I think it’s important to be on the stage, to engage in the debate, and to communicate our position clearly. There is a big difference between left-wing environmentalism that wants higher taxes, bigger government., more bureaucracy, more regulation, more red tape, and more litigation and a Green Conservatism that wants to use science, technology, innovation, entrepreneurs, and prizes to find a way to creatively invent the kind of environmental future we all want to live in. Unless we start making the case for the latter, we’re going to get the former. That’s why I took part in the ad.

Nothing new here. Since Rev Wright is determined to destroy the Obama campaign by going on his speaking tour, I’m just posting a bunch of old links and posts from the blogworld for archival purposes.
Not that I’m a conspiracy theory dude but I would bet someone a nice bottle of some good sippin’ whisky that dude is pissed at Obama and he is going on this media blitz in retaliation because he feels like he was fucked by Obama.

I’ll go a step further, I would not be shocked (although we will never know for sure) if the Clinton’s are slipping some money his way to “speak out” and defend his good name and reputation.

As a black dude I have seen the ole “crabs in a barrel” mentality with black folks fucking over each other way too many times. Obama used the black community to get his foot in the political door, no doubt with the help of Wright. Wright is your typical radical Negro who makes his living cracking on “whitey” by day and dining with them by night. He is now a pariah in the eyes of America thus fucking up his little “I hate whitey” shtick and he blames Obama for abandoning him.

Lets get real and believe me when I tell you, Niggas are vengeful. Obama was riding the wave of white euphoria and thereby was leaving the old guard Negro road to success behind. More than a few darkies were not happy about this. While young black folks and white folks were seeing Obama as this man of “hope” they old guard Niggas like Wright were grinding their teeth and I guarantee you got jealous.
How else would you explain Wright doing these idiot interviews with several more speaking events in the coming weeks before some NOW critical primaries?

This is exactly why I have never subscribed to the “brothas need to stick together” bullshit mindset. I have always been far more concerned about another “brotha” fucking me over than I ever was some random white dude.
This is why Niggas who don’t know any better run in packs, vote in packs and think like they are still on the plantation particularly old guard Niggas like Wright.

I think it’s a little sad, somewhat amusing, but not a surprise to me that another black man just may be responsible for keeping another black man from this nation’s highest office.

From The Vast Global Zionist Conspiracy, Michelle Malkin, Hot Air, Little Green Footballs, Gateway Pundit

The Autonomist :

Barack Obama has attended Wright’s sermons for over twenty years. By his own admission, Obama consults with Wright before making any “bold political decisions.” Obama calls Wright his “spiritual advisor.” He calls Wright one of his prime mentors. Obama got the title of his book, “The Audacity of Hope,” from a Wright sermon of the same name. He says that Wright was extremely important in shaping his life and his views. Obama and his wife were married by Rev. Wright. Reverend Wright baptized Obama’s daughters. Barack Obama donated over $20,000 to Wright’s church in 2006. He continues attending services in Wright’s church.

And now we have information that possibly disproves Obama’s key assertions on the scandal. I’d say that’s getting pretty well into “death blow” territory.

BUT WAIT!! from Hot Air

A sneak preview of the next headache for the Messiah, set to drop tomorrow night. CJ reads this as an admission by Wright that Obama’s condemnation of him is insincere. I’m not so sure. Quote:

Mr. Wright, who has acted as Mr. Obama’s spiritual mentor and retired in February as pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, said that he has never heard Mr. Obama repeat any of his controversial statements.

“Absolutely not,” Mr. Wright said. “I don’t talk to him about politics. And so he had a political event, he goes out as a politician and says what he has to say as a politician. I continue to be a pastor who speaks to the people of God about the things of God.”

8% of Americans have a favorable opinion of G-damning Jeremiah Wright!

######

Bill Kristol distills the essence of Obama:

The more you learn about him, the more Obama seems to be a conventionally opportunistic politician, impressively smart and disciplined, who has put together a good political career and a terrific presidential campaign. But there’s not much audacity of hope there. There’s the calculation of ambition, and the construction of artifice, mixed in with a dash of deceit — all covered over with the great conceit that this campaign, and this candidate, are different.

Juan Williams agrees.

This lovely incident reminded me of an old story from the Kansas City Pitch: A Holiday Catalog of Bumming. Check it out.

Bob Mauer has claim to prime panhandling real estate. He hustles on a small patch of grass near the Broadway offramp of Interstate 35. He carries a crumpled cardboard sign that reads “HELP HOMELESS VET. Thank you!” He wears a U.S. Army logo shirt and fatigue pants to make that image bankable. Mauer works the corner in shifts with two other vagabonds. At night, they share profits to buy smokes and booze. They sleep beneath a nearby overpass, huddled together for warmth.

So when an intruder comes along, Mauer has to protect his turf. This happens regularly, as it did during a recent afternoon at rush hour. Mauer, 50, didn’t even notice the guy at first. The vagrant, in his mid-40s, wore a camouflage jacket and jeans, obviously working the war-hero angle, too. Mauer finally noticed the guy because drivers who stopped at a nearby signal — the ones who usually look away and make sure their doors are locked — were peering past Mauer intently.

He spun to face the new guy.

“How long you been here?” the new guy shouted over the din of the highway. But something about him was off. His head stayed cocked to one side, resting against his shoulder. A patchwork of scabs plastered his face. He reeked of piss. “You got a sign?” the guy added hopefully, holding his own ratty homemade placard like a bargaining chip.

“I don’t know you!” Mauer shouted as the man stepped closer. “Get away from me!” He balled his hands into fists and stepped forward.

The intruder blinked. He ranted incoherently and spun in small semicircles, like a puppy that’s just discovered its tail. He stumbled back across the street and into the shadows beneath Bartle Hall.

This is the first rule of panhandling: Territory must be re-established daily. And once occupied, it is kept only by brute force.

Other rules: The best hours to “work” are when the rest of the world isn’t, rush hours and weekends. Primo work conditions are when the weather is bad, because standing in a winter storm is sure to evoke sympathy. Success is contingent on a gimmick, the street equivalent of a straight-up sales pitch.

Everyone can be categorized by a type of solicitation. Con men fake injuries or use standard come-ons. Recall the line favored by infamous Plaza panhandler Jerry Mazer, who asks passers-by for a “down payment on a cheeseburger.” Beggars put out a hand and proposition their marks directly. Cup rattlers push their message subtly, by jingling for change. Guys who “fly a sign” use cardboard to sell their plight, billboard style. They compete with more legitimate sidewalk entertainers and charity organizations, all vying for your change.

‘Tis the season to be giving. With this in mind, the Pitch has created a panhandling primer with the real stories behind some of those with their hands out.

Again I’m later on posting this article, y’all may have already seen on another blog, but I am beginning to suspect that Rev. Wright is only out to TRY and clean up his image, however while doing so he is really fucking up Obama campaign.
“His words twisted,” is he joking!? If dude really wanted to help Obama he would just shut the fuck up and go underground for awhile.
From what clips I have seen of tomorrow’s interview this will only bring the issue back to the front burner to the detriment of Obama trying to close the deal in the Democratic Party race.

(Story Link) In his first wide-ranging interview since video clips of his inflammatory sermons were aired, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. defended himself over the controversy, saying that his words were twisted.
Mr. Wright, Senator Barack Obama’s former pastor, gave an interview to Bill Moyers on Wednesday, to air on PBS tomorrow.“I felt it was unfair,” Mr. Wright said, according to excerpts of the interview released Thursday. “I felt it was unjust. I felt it was untrue. I felt for those who were doing that, were doing it for some very devious reasons.”
In Mr. Wright’s sermons, he suggested that Americans bore some responsibility for the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, saying “America’s chickens are coming home to roost.” He also blamed the government for the spread of AIDS among African-Americans, characterized the United States government as corrupt and referred to the “U.S. of K.K.K. A.”
He did not apologize or back away from his remarks in the interview, instead saying that people wanted to paint him as “some sort of fanatic.”

“It’s to paint me as something — ‘Something’s wrong with me. There’s nothing wrong with this country … for its policies. We’re perfect. Our hands are free. Our hands have no blood on them,’” he said. “That’s not a failure to communicate. The message that is being communicated by the sound bites is exactly what those pushing those sound bites want to communicate.”
When asked what the people who aired the clips “wanted to communicate,” Mr. Wright said, “I think they wanted to communicate that I am unpatriotic, that I am un-American, that I am filled with hate speech, that I have a cult at Trinity United Church of Christ. And by the way, guess who goes to his church, hint, hint, hint? That’s what they wanted to communicate.”
Mr. Wright, who has acted as Mr. Obama’s spiritual mentor and retired in February as pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, said that he has never heard Mr. Obama repeat any of his controversial statements.

“Absolutely not,” Mr. Wright said. “I don’t talk to him about politics. And so he had a political event, he goes out as a politician and says what he has to say as a politician. I continue to be a pastor who speaks to the people of God about the things of God.”
Mr. Obama publicly denounced Mr. Wright’s remarks, a reaction Mr. Wright said “went down very simply.”
“He’s a politician, I’m a pastor,” he said. “We speak to two different audiences. And he says what he has to say as a politician. I say what I have to say as a pastor. But they’re two different worlds.”
He added, “I do what I do. He does what politicians do. So that what happened in Philadelphia where he had to respond to the sound bytes, he responded as a politician.”

The reason why I reposted the white people won’t vote for black candidate article yesterday is to take y’all back to the beginning of Obama’s campaign and how the news media wanted to bully white folks into feeling guilty about their hidden racist views.Obama is in serious trouble; therefore the Democratic Party is in serious trouble.
Obama must be the Democratic Party nominee now. For all of Hillary’s bitching and moaning the party and the super delegates must reject her now. If Obama is not the nominee there will be a fucken war, revolt!So in the coming weeks, in fact TODAY, as this article below points out, the media will remind you white people that you are indeed racists. Every dollar going into the Hillary campaign are “racist” dollars. Obama is the only man that can unite the country, and anyone who conveys any other point of view will be seen as racist.

Soon I will post a short interview from MSNBC where the anchor chick is already laying out the ammo basically saying to RNC chair Mike Duncan “will you denounce future attacks on Obama using Rev Wright?” These attacks will be views by the media as racist!
Every fucken post or news article scrutinizing Obama will be seen as racist. More black pundits will be on the talk shows reminding Americans just how racist they are.

I must say today that I was wrong. I did say before Obama ran for president that white folks would never elect a black candidate for president.
I said this not knowing anything about Obama I was only going on skin color.
Oh Obama will not be president, he will lose, but not because of his color as I stated.
It will be because he is a shitty candidate and the more we learn about him we see that his flaws are as glaring as the sun.

However despite all of that, today, he is ahead of Hillary, and will win the nomination and that is a hell of an accomplishment.
Too bad the next few months the media in its zeal to prop up Obama will go all out on the race card, pointing the finger at evil, racist white America ignoring what he has accomplished by saying “Obama’s loss is America’s shame.”
The article below is just the beginning.

American Presidential elections have been compared with reality TV series or game shows, in which a gaggle of jumped-up nonentities aspiring to be celebrities are ritually humiliated in public and offered entertaining opportunities to self-destruct, until only one survivor remains. But this time round, a much more elevated analogy is sadly apposite.The 2008 US election has all the makings of a Greek tragedy, in which noble heroes and heroines are forced to follow a course to catastrophe, divinely preordained as punishment for sins and blunders committed by their forefathers in the dim and distant past. In acting out their ineluctable doom, the eloquent protagonists do not just destroy themselves but also their cities, their nations and even their entire civilisations.If this description sounds too grandiose, consider yesterday’s results from the Pennsylvania primary. The outcome seemed to be precisely calibrated by the gods to maximise the agony of the Democrats. It gave Hillary Clinton just the support she needed to stay firmly in contention, but not quite enough to turn the tide in her favour.

Worse still, this result underlined the fear that senior Democrats have long been aware of, but have never dared to express in public: America may not yet be ready to elect a black President. Worst of all, it has created conditions for the possible election victory of a militarily belligerent and economically unqualified Republican candidate who supports many of President Bush’s worst policies. Given the Bush Administration’s domestic and foreign failures, the disasters in Iraq and Afghanistan and, most recently, the slump in the economy, the possibility of a Republican victory in November would seem to overturn every principle of proper democracy - and also the hope of America and its system of government being rehabilitated in the eyes of the world after the Bush years. The fact that Mr Obama and Mrs Clinton are both such impressive candidates, intelligent, sincere, articulate and in command of the issues, while John McCain does not qualify on any of these criteria only makes matters worse.

That Mrs Clinton will now carry on with her campaign is not just probable but essential. For the voting in Pennsylvania confirms that she has a much better chance than Mr Obama of winning the White House for the Democrats. According to the Associated Press exit polls published yesterday, 16 per cent of white Democratic voters considered race an important factor in the Presidential election and 43 per cent of these said they would either vote Republican or not vote at all, if Mr Obama were the Democratic nominee.

Given that Mrs Clinton’s clear victory over Mr Obama in Pennsylvania followed similar results in other “must-win” states with large working-class constituencies, such as Ohio, Florida, New Jersey, Michigan and even New York and California, the conclusion would be fairly obvious, were it not for the political correctness makes it almost impossible for American politicians or commentators to express such a view: Mr Obama may by unable to carry large industrial states with socially conservative white working-class populations simply because of his race. This is especially true now that the televised rantings of Rev Jeremiah Wright and Mr Obama’s own gaf
