Thanks to you, Ms. Waters, there will always be slavery

As much as I hate to admit it, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are right, but for the wrong reasons when it comes to the subject of slavery. They claim that the "black man" is no better off now than when blacks were freed from slavery. Sure, they are wearing $2,000 suits, drive $100,000 vehicles and live in million dollar homes, but they are still slaves. Just ask them. It doesn't look like they have very missed a meal, but that's not the point. Their point is that black people will always be a slave to the whites until they become "equal"...whatever THAT means.

Does "equal" mean that we deconstruct everything in the Constitution? We turn it into a fluid document that can mean different things to different people? Obama thinks so. Or maybe, it means that everyone should expect the government or some authority to tell us how to look, what to wear, the vehicle to drive, the food we should/should not eat? Sound familiar? It could mean that we should have a WIFM (what's in it for me) attitude so that the individual's best interest is more important than that of our nation. Hmmm That one sounds very familiar. You guessed it. It was Maxine Waters who believes that one. Or, finally, maybe there should be special concessions made for those who claim to be oppressed so that they can "feel" like they are important and are entitled to special treatment. NAACP, BET, and the Congressional Black Caucus are all living large at the expense of those they claim to be helping. Gee...no bigotry or racism in THESE fine, upstanding institutions. Anything to turn a buck. WIFM.

So...lets go back to my premise, "There will always be slavery" and briefly explore why. And, let's use the Congressional Black Caucus as an example. Can anyone join this group? No. You have to be black. Can they be forced to allow non-blacks? Uh, we have a black or Kenyan or Asian or Irish or is it Muslim President. O'bummer has already proven that the laws don't apply to black folks by forcing Tennessee to stand-down on prosecuting the Black Panthers for election intimidation. It's perfectly fine to force a Christian school to admit Atheists and then force them to change their curriculum so that the lone, lost sole isn't offended or "feel" like their rights were being violated.

The Congressional Black Caucus' charter is for getting more for blacks at the expense of everyone and anyone else--read their charter. They are solely focused on getting more entitlements for blacks by forcing government to take from those who are self-accountable to those who aren't. If you don't believe me, listen to the following video from Maxine Waters making demands from an Exxon executive.

Maxine, by the way, has proven that she is so horribly corrupt that she will steal money from college students to help out her own family that doesn't go to college. Has anything happened to her as a result? NO! Instead, she has become the Congressional Black Caucus' golden child. This is what happens in a society that permits selfish, self-centered people to remain in office. So, what does this mean?

As the Maxines of the Social Democratic party continue their dismantling of the American Republic, they communicate that things are in terrible shape and that the government will save us. They tell the blacks that those with Conservative viewpoints are evil and "...should go straight to hell" (actual quote from Maxine a couple of weeks ago). But why? Might the liberal agenda be causing the moral degradation of our country? Maybe. Could it be that the "tolerant" Social Democrats are actually intolerant of those who don't believe the way they do? Most likely. By reducing the content a student needs to know by the time they graduate from high school, will force them to rely on a smaller, more educated group of people? Absolutely. Is it possible that by increasing the size of the government and the entitlements to the individual that it is easier to control a population? Bingo!

The aforementioned is why, Jesse Jackson, blacks will always be enslaved by something or someone. The issue is not black or white. The issue is Socialism versus Capitalism. It's a monarchy versus republic issue. The black, so-called, leadership is doing everything they can to keep blacks down. They don't trust their own race enough to make decisions for themselves. They don't even believe that blacks can be successful without entitlements...hand-outs. How insulting?! Jesse continues to walk around in HIS expensive suits claiming that there are no opportunity for blacks. Hmmm If that's the case, how the hell are you able to do what you do Mr. Jackson? And, by the way Ms. Waters, Exxon is a FOR PROFIT business. If you don't like the way they run their business, either don't buy from them or start your OWN business instead of sucking on the teats of American taxpayers. You need to quit acting like spoiled teenagers and grow up.

I'll Pass on the Waters: Bring on theTea!

The Black Caucus

A Donkey Divided Stands Alone

I think almost everyone has heard Maxine Waters lately.  It's hard to keep ears out of reach of her big mouth.  But some might be wondering who she is in the realm of politics.  Currently, Maxine is the U.S. Representative for California's 35th congressional district and prior to she was Representative for the 19th district.  She is a member and former chair (1997 - 1999) of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC).  The Black Caucus is exclusively for Blacks.  It is considered "non-partisan" but is primary tied to the Democratic party.  Their goals are described as, "positively influencing the course of events pertinent to African-Americans and others of similar experience and situation, and achieving greater equity for persons of African descent in the design and content of domestic and international programs and services.  The CBC encapsulates these goals in the following priorities: Closing the achievement and opportunity gaps in education, assuring quality health care for every American, focusing on employment and economic security, ensuring justice for all, retirement security for all Americans, increasing welfare funds and increasing equity in foreign policy."  The current CBC chair is Emanuel Cleaver elected in 2011.

Who's being RACIST? 
I've never understood exactly how racism works when ultimately, SOMEONE is the brunt of discrimination.  Why is there a Congressional BLACK Caucus and not a Native American, Hispanic, Asian, Anglo or Women's Caucus?  If there were a Congressional WHITE Caucus, THAT would be racist.  So The CBC is not considered such even though their goal is to promote the quality of life just for "...persons of African descent..."?  Apparently not.  As for any other race of people, they are not entitled to CBC membership even if they represent a "minority" district.  "In January 2007, Josephine Hearn reported in Politico that white members of Congress were not welcome to join the CBC.  Freshman Representative, Steve Cohen,  D-TN., who is white, pledged to apply for membership during his election campaign to represent his constituency, which is 60% African American. Hearn further reported that although the bylaws of the caucus do not make race a prerequisite for membership, former and current members of the caucus agreed that the group should remain 'exclusively black.' " 

 Angry Maxine

Waste of a perfectly good shoe

She's in the news a lot lately--too much really.  There's an old saying, "The guilty party screams the loudest."  This must be why Maxine is angry at everyone for something.  Most recently, it's the Tea Party.  She's angry with Obama because he's losing the African American vote, but also with the Tea Party because they are a threat to the 2012 presidential election.  Let's face it, the Democratic Party could lose the election.  POLITICALHOTSHEET (August 22, 2011) quotes, "This is a tough game. You can't be intimidated. You can't be frightened. And as far as I'm concerned -- the Tea Party can go straight to hell," Waters told an Inglewood, California audience at a "Kitchen Table'Summit' Saturday night, according to Los Angeles television station KABC.  Waters made waves last week when she openly criticized Mr. Obama's style and called on him to get tough with Republicans in order to help disadvantaged Americans, including African American.  "The president is going to have to fight and he is going to have to fight hard," she said at a job fair in Atlanta on Thursday. Waters said there was a growing sense of unhappiness among African Americans with the the first black president.  "The Congressional Black Caucus loves the president, too," she went on to say. "We're supportive of the president, but we're getting tired. We're getting tired.  And so, what we want to do is, we want to give the president every opportunity to show what he can do and what he's prepared to lead on. We want to give him every opportunity, but our people are hurting. The unemployment is unconscionable.  We don't know what the strategy is.  We don't know why on this trip that he's in the United States now, he's not in any black community.  We don't know that."  
Yes, I bolded "our people" as it indicates African Americans.  Are they they only people in this country who are hurting?  I don't think so.  Furthermore, as an American (a Native one at that), "our people" are those of this country regardless of race. 

The Socialist Agenda for Dummies

In yet another slip of Maxine's muddy tongue, she admitted to the Democrats Socialist Agenda while grilling Shell Oil's, John Hofmeister, during the recent Congressional hearings. 

I have a NEWS FLASH for Maxine and her socialist followers, the power outlets on your walls are just that, power outlets.  The power is generated by something.  In America, that is approximately 90% oil and coal--NOT MAGIC.  Without drilling and mining, we might as all go to hell because that's what it's going to feel like--pure hell.  The most I can hope for is a glass of iced tea (preferably sweet).
