America's Teaparty...Nazi redux?

I don't want this article to fall into the gross association of past political schemes, as it relates to the "Taxed Enough Already" political party which has entered America's halls of Congress...however, there are some alarming similarities to Germany's National Socialist Party.

There have been some brutal dictatorial rulers who have committed murder en masse to deliver their political dictums, and most started out under some innocuous claim to be doing it for God and country, or whatever higher power. Hitler murdered 20 million, Stalin 60 million, Mao Tse Tung 35 million, the Japanese in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia, the Hutus in Rwanda, on and on, up to the most recent in the Sudan. The message delivered from these atrocities is that it has happened over and over again, and can continue to happen...even here in the good old USA.

I just viewed the film "Nietzsche and the Nazis" available via "Netflix" and  saw some of those alarming similarities with America's Teaparty...but not all that shocked. It was through movements such as these that fascists such as Mussolini and Hitler came to power...by means of free and democratic elections in supposedly educated, civilized modern European societies...that eventually became monstrous after achieving power.

It turns out that the Nazis were virulent anti-capitalists initially. Their focus was primarily on racial heritage as mentioned a few articles back. Racial heritage...superiority, inferiority, and who has a God-given right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...Darwinism unleashed. Nonetheless, you may want to review the 25 point program of the Nationalist Socialist German Workers Party from 1919 with Hitler as a leading member, to see those "Teaparty" similarities. Just "google" it.

The Gun Show Loophole...

What a time for an exercise in capitalism for law enforcement agencies? There is this annual gun show in Roanoke County that brings in business and buyers far and wide. There is also this loophole that allows buyers to purchase without background checks, of which relatives of the victims of the Virginia Tech Massacre are trying to get the Commonwealth legislation to close.

I see this as an excellent opportunity for the local police departments of the county to fill this void, and at the same time profit from the sales of the deadly goods. That is, they could do the background checks, or at least be on site to gather the data to follow-up on individuals, such as checking proper forms of identification. There would of course be a fee, not a tax, for the services of the law enforcement agencies in providing the time and measures to do this.

Based on the cost of the weapons sold, this could bring a nice chunk of change to the financially strapped defenders of community safety.

Way past the time for Limbaugh to be kicked off the air

I said it before and I'll repeat...Limbaugh is no more than an inbred, racist hick from the hills of Missouri, who developed a gift of gab as a disc jockey...nothing really special about him, except there are or were quite a few mush minds that bought into his schlock. He rose to fame primarily by race baiting and racist innuendo and there are still a bunch of "low brows" that eat it up...they identify themselves as "ditto heads".

I have heard any number of intelligent blacks who would like to take him on in a verbal, toe-to-toe, but they can be assured of not getting through on his radio program, thanks to that Negro lackey he has in his back pocket...called Snerdley.

Finally, other segments of society are up in arms over "Blubber Butt's" recent, racist mocking of the leader from China, and are assailing his sponsors...which is exactly and the most effective means of shutting down his racist clap-trap. Hit him in the pocketbook!! That's what happened to Laura Schlessinger and she went to another venue altogether...where the listening audience has to pay to hear her bullsh*t.

Iran...the new Israel??

With the latest turmoil in the Middle East, and the people rising up to cast out the corrupt leadership in Egypt, with the Saudi regime being next...could Iran be the next Muslim power to fill the void? It appears on the surface the shia following is behind this uprise against the long held sunni control in most of the Arab nations. Who is the major base of the shia movement?...you guessed it, Iran and its nut case leader.

What's interesting about this scenario, is that the middle eastern, sunni power structure is more afraid of this Iranian "nut job" than the state of Israel. However, this corrupt sunni power structure has no one to blame but itself and the rulers of their regimes..."sins of the father" as it were.

What's even more potentially bazaar would be, if Israel all of a sudden became a fast and friendly ally to Iran, with the possibility of a change in leadership of Iran during this spreading Islamic crisis...hmmm, something to really ponder.

Western Capitalism...raison d'etre?

President Dwight D. Eisnehower upon leaving office warned America of the inherent dangers of the military-industrial complex. What did we do? Went out and established relationships around the world based on this premise, particularly in the Middle East...arms and oil. We provided arms to keep corrupt regimes in power, whereas they provided the fuel for us to continue this dangerous alliance, never giving thought as to how it may impact our future destiny. Maybe, some thought was given to this ultimate outcome, but what the hell? This is simply western capitalism at work, keeping crooks large and in charge or otherwise "phat" rats in a cheese factory.

It appears that Mubarak who maximized on this premise to the benefit of himself and his cronies, is on the way out, their religious association and connection to their people be damned as long as it could be used to keep their beds feathered...denying civil rights to the commoners, equal rights to women, bazaar archaic punishments such as stoning, flogging, and beheading. The list goes on and on for hundreds of years of brutal, dictatorial rule. An omen to the Saudi regime which is next on the totem pole to come in for a trashing and crashing. It is out of this corruption that Osama Bin Laden and his kooks sprang to do the damage they did to America's center of western capitalism as shown from some of the photos from this webpage. http://theroanoketribune.com/catalog.html

However, to America's defense, it appears "divine providence" sends someone to the fore to direct a nation of people when they are sincerely trying to do what's right toward man and God. I sincerely believe that people such as Jefferson, Lincoln, and Eisenhower were sent to not only deliver a message but to exercise their authority in carrying it out. I don't want you to think that I'm some sort of  "ethereal nut" but as I analyze America's horizon of leaders, I don't see any "captain" matched as much as Barack Obama is in steering our ship of affairs in these global stormy seas.  

Men of Morehouse...Relations and Relativity

Sometime back I spoke of my tutoring my grandson in math, of which he was struggling, causing his grade point average to plummet. It was two hours a night Monday through Thursday, no excuses, and if too sick to be available, such as having to go to the dentist which left him some pain, it had to be verified by his mother. He boosted his math score by the end of the term and got his grade point average back to a decent level and seems to have gotten the hang of mathematical logic. Education of our young people is an "all in" proposition by everyone in that young person's purview.

Still, education poses a problem in our kids keeping up with the rest of the world. There have been some bazaar solutions submitted especially for black students from "ebonics" to racial segregation as proposed by this school principal in Lancaster, PA. Just "manifest ignorance" coming from so-called educated Negroes. I strongly believe Booker T. Washington set out the best criteria for education for all youth as described on the webpage. http://theroanoketribune.com/catalog_1.html

Below, is a photo of young Morehouse men listening to Spike Lee and Education Secretary Arne Duncan. Spike needs no introduction for he's proved his brilliance from his attendance at the world-famed Morehouse as well as his co-artist Samuel L. Jackson. There are some other great notables from this first class institution of learning as mentioned on this webpage, such as Alabama Representative Joseph Mitchell. http://theroanoketribune.com/custom.html

Serving the cause of getting more educated and well trained black men in classrooms is a noble effort, but it's going to take all of us to insure all of our youth despite race, class, or culture of a rewarding future.  

A Candidate for Public Idiocy

I quipped a few articles back about blacks in positions of public or political trust, when found guilty of acts of stupidity, they should not only be removed and censured but "dis-BAR-red"...kicked out of the Black American Race, for their embarrassment to all of those who suffered and died in order that they could get into those positions. My most recent judgement was implied in the case of Charles Rangel of New York and some black bookkeeper in Daphne, AL, just outside of Mobile.

Well, my latest entry is the police officer in the photo above from Mobile, of whom I shall leave nameless, sparing his family and friends further embarrassment. It appears that this idiot, while in a Wal-Mart store decided to shoplift an item that was less than $25.00. As to whether he was on or off duty as security makes no difference...it was stupid. 

Nevertheless, he decided to retire early as opposed to facing potential charges. I conclude by saying, seconds after he picks up his retirement papers at the nearest precinct, he should head over to the office of "dis-BAR-ment" to finalize a legacy of idiocy.     

Dubious Gesture??

From the Mobile Press: "Young Mobile lawyer (pictured above) joined the Althelston Club and becomes the first black member of the private [white] man's social institution in its 138 years."

My inital impression? Too little, too late to brag about in my former hometown. There have been many prominent black men of Mobile that should or could have been welcomed to this "Jim Crow" bastion.

It's almost on the level of Governor Haley Barbour of Mississippi defending the "White Citizen's Council" in face of the KKK. Being a native of Natchez, MS...this black man should have taken some sort of historical account. Maybe, he's simply a member of the "MoTeSa" tribe?
