NAACP: Wear Our Chains, Not Theirs

The NAACP has been down this road before. So has the President and his advisors. So has Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. But the more dire the political future looks for the Democrat(ic) Party in the upcoming mid-term election, the more we’re going to see the worst in them and their supporters like the NAACP.

Now the NAACP leaps into action and puts out the call for all black Americans to get back on their plantation with the accusation that Tea Party supporters, over half the nation, are racists. Get out there and vote for the Democrats. Keeping their power is that important to them. What they’re not saying is wear our chains, not theirs. The way this party and this group continually use the race card to obfuscate the real issues is disgraceful. Taking blacks for granted and treating them like mind-numb robots is even worse.

David Almasi of the Project 21 Black Leadership Network calls out the NAACP’s fraudulent accusations . . .

“Looking at the research that comprises this report, I find it interesting that it appears not a single leader of the mentioned tea party groups was asked for its background,” noted Project 21 member Coby Dillard, a co-founder of the Hampton Roads Tea Party in Virginia. “Had this research been conducted, the facts would show that two of the mentioned groups are simply capitalizing from the tea party movement and that two others are for-profit enterprises. I fail to see, just as I did this summer when their resolution was voted on, how this report ‘advances’ black Americans or those of any color. The longer the NAACP stays on this path, the more they show themselves unable to provide solutions to the issues most Americans care about.”

But don’t worry about the heightened racial tension the NAACP is fomenting. President Obama said that his administration was going to be post-racial. I guess that means we will see him on the network news tonight denouncing the NAACP for their ridiculous accusations. Or, maybe not.

China Putting Mineral Embargo On The West

Have you heard? Probably not. Sad thing is, the President and the State Department probably haven’t heard either. Either that, or they don’t have the time to spend on national security and ‘our image around the world’ when the President is on the campaign trail. And where is our Secretary of State on this?

China, which has been blocking shipments of crucial minerals to Japan for the last month, has now quietly halted some shipments of those materials to the United States and Europe, three industry officials said this week.

That President Obama is so focused on political expediency to the detriment of his constitutional duties, qualifies as a dereliction of duty. Then again, he prioritizes as a community organizer would, not as a president should.

Are you feeling more secure now?

New York Gubernatorial Candidates Debate

The fringe candidates provided the most entertainment.  There was Jimmy McMillan of the Rent is 2 Damn High Party. But Kristin Davis, the Anti-Prohibition Party candidate was especially interesting. Her platform is the legalization of marijuana, prostitution, and gay marriage.

You may recall, Kristin Davis was the madam who did business with married client number 9, then governor Elliot Spitzer and now a TV host for a show on CNN. Now she is running for Governor of the State of New York. Among her greatest hits at the debate was this . . .

“The career politicians in Albany are the biggest whores in this state. I might be the only person sitting on this podium qualified to deal with them.”
