White Supremacists/Conservative Talking Points and Mantra

This was originally published in Quora under my real name but those who oppose the teaching of real history of the United States are really racist and white supremacist. 

I'm talking about you, Bill Maher, Pat McCrory, Neal Boortz, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Majorie Taylor Greene, Candice Owens, among many others who are in the public eye, denouncing CRT before even reading what is about.

 Here are the talking points of racist/white supremacist conservatives:

 “Diversity is a weakness." 
 “Blacks and Hispanics have low IQs”
 “Illegal aliens" 
“Blacks are committing most of the crimes" 
 “Muslims are terrorists"
“Don't make it about race" 
“Blacks, Hispanics, Asians are the real racists” 
 “Immigrants are taking our jobs away."
“Black men are deadbeat dads” 
“Black and Hispanic men are rapists"
 “Black women are baby making machines" 
 “Obama set race relations back” 
"White people create the modern world 🌎." 
 “Asians are taking over the universities." 
“Banks are controlled by Jews”
 “Jews are behind the race mixing agenda" 
“All lives matter"
 “White women are objectively the most beautiful.”
 “White men are the most financially successful group of people on the earth 🌎." 
 “Mixed race people suffer because they are Mixed” 
 “What about the children?" 
"Interracial relationships are wrong”
 “Why are Black and Brown women on welfare?” 
“Black, Asian, Latino, Indian, Middle Eastern men are always after White women” 
“30,000 white women are raped by Black men. No Black women ever raped by white men.” 
 “Chinese are taking over!” 
 “What about Black on Black Crime?” 
 “White men are the victims” 
 “White women are in danger. We must save them from evil men of Color.” 
 “The white race is in danger of being extinct.”
 "Get over it!" 
 The Indians are lazy drunks who complain about everything."
 "History is written by the victors. Get over it!"
 "They just playing the race card" 
"I'm not racist, but..."
"Slavery is over"
"Woke" (taken over by conservatives who resent the presence of Blacks in ads, media, TV)
"PC"
"Go woke, go broke"


These and many other talking points conservatives make about race and ethnicity.  It's not just Stormfronters, AmRenners, Alt Rightists, HBD-Sailerites, etc.  It's your Fox TV news, Republicans, Libertarians, Talk Radio, even white "liberals" such as Bill Maher, who is becoming right wing of late, berating Black people on a daily basis

iHeartMedia Regrets Paying For Hazardous Waste!

Old fart Rush Limbaugh faces even more woes. His syndication company iHeartMedia, Inc. may go out of business.

Eric Boehlert of Media Matters for America wrote a huge story over the weekend. He brought to attention the pending bankruptcy of iHeartMedia, Inc (formerly known as Clear Channel/Premiere Radio Networks).

Mind you that the iHeartMedia has struggled throughout the years. The stock is tanking and the media conglomerate is considering restructuring to save grace.

Boehlert notes that iHeartMedia's deal with one of the biggest voices on the right was a total disaster.

That old fart Rush Limbaugh is very bad for business. So bad, that if he signs another contract for iHeartMedia Group, he may end up taking a massive pay cut.

Many radio insiders consider the AM agitators too toxic for business. Limbaugh notes that the Sandra Fluke incident was the biggest mistake he's ever made. He didn't expect that the backlash would lead to many of his longtime providers dumping him.

Major companies have cut ties with AM talk. Glenn Beck and that annoying conservative agitator Sean Hannity have also taken nosedives as well.

Limbaugh is 65 years old. Most of the audience is old people.

The infighting from Republicans over Donald Trump and Ted Cruz has divided the AM agitators.

Limbaugh was once the "gold standard" for Republicans. Now he's just an old fart who screams into the microphone and his audience has to turn on their hearing aids to hear him.

Many political junkies believe that Limbaugh, Hannity and The Drudge Report contributed to Barack Obama winning his elections.

Quarterbacking A Quick Rich Scheme!

Major scandal involving two of the country's fantasy sports companies.

FanDuel and DraftKings are incredibly popular. Gamblers take the chance on winning big $$$$$$ picking their favorite football teams and the score stats.

Talk radio agitators were promote these websites. I can tell you that annoying conservative agitator was actively encouraging his gullible audience to engage in these websites. I believe that old fart Limbaugh was promoting this as well.

Well there's a scandal brewing with these gaming sites.

One of the rivals was getting the low down on player stats. Ethan Haskell who worked at DraftKings took in over a quarter of a million running the numbers over at FanDuel.
Ethan Haskell
DraftKings techie Ethan Haskell got death threats and worldwide condemnation after he accidentally leaked information that he profited from rival FanDuel. 
That insider data gave him an opportunity to make himself rich. And with them riches, he actually got reckless. He accidentally leaked information to his friends. Them friends told the junk food media about it and now there's a scandal.

The New York Times reports that this scandal is huge. The two major fantasy companies were forced to release statements defending their businesses’ integrity after what amounted to allegations of insider trading, that employees were placing bets using information not generally available to the public.

Haskell clammed up and blocked access to his social media accounts in fear of death threats and potential incrimination. Now his mistake has caught wind over at Congress. Some are calling for regulations on fantasy sports.

He might be called upon the Congress to testify to why he got insider information.

The industry has its roots in informal fantasy games that began years ago with groups of fans playing against one another for fun over the course of a season. They assembled hypothetical teams and scored points based on how players did in actual games.

But in recent years, companies, led by DraftKings and FanDuel, have set up online daily and weekly games based on a similar concept in which fans pay an entry fee to a website — from 25 cents to $1,000 — to play dozens if not hundreds of opponents, with prize pools that can pay $2 million to the winner. Critics have complained that the setup is hardly different from Las Vegas-style gambling that is normally banned in the sports world.

Well here another reason to why Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are destroying talk radio.

These two were on talk radio endorsing products that may end up being scams. They were proudly endorsing these companies.

FanDuel and DraftKings is gambling. You are wasting your money online betting on the unpredictable NFL and NCAA-I College football games.

I am not a statistician but I bet you that 80% of Americans over 18 year old have played a game of chance for money. If I am not proven right, then I lose a reader. Regardless, I won't lose a cent.

Americans involved in DraftKings and FanDuel are likely to gamble their life savings on fantasy sports, casinos, lottery and bingo.

Talk Radio Is Dying: Thank Rush Limbaugh And Sean Hannity For Its Eventual Demise!

He realizes that he is an old fart.

I've been a frequent listener to talk radio. I often hear the overreaction to the world's event through the country's most controversial agitators. The right and the left have their share of outrage towards lawmakers and leaders. They make $$$$ off profit rage. It's assured that they'll continue on for the time being.

But as they do, will you eventually start tuning them out?

I am seriously considering that. Like with social media, it's too polarizing. I don't want to be mad at the world because I don't agree with their views. But there are a handful of Americans so invested in voicing their concerns on talk radio. My god, it's like listening to a garbage disposal breaking down.

Two notorious agitators are seeing their stock lower this year. And I am guessing Republicans are still putting their fate in their hands instead of looking elsewhere.

Republicans can't win using Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, The Drudge Report, and Fox News. If you ask me, I believe they were the reasons to why Barack Obama won his elections.
If the Republicans use this annoying conservative agitator as a source, they might lose. 
My prediction about Sean Hannity's future reign on Fox News is simple. It's going to be few more years. The time will come when the cannon is fired and he's in it. I give him three more years before the cannon fires him out. And when it he lands, he'll either be on The Blaze, Newsmax or a network that he has trashed on his right wing carnival.

Sad reality. Like the music industry it's effects everything. Talk radio is on the decline. Thanks to agitators such as that old fart Rush Limbaugh, everyone has taken a nosedive.

People are still listening but it's not a profitable market because advertisers believe that talk radio agitators are too extreme.

iHeart Media, Cox Media and Cumulus are media titians.  They control most of the radio stations and offer the stations Rush and Sean's right wing shows to the AM and FM dial. Because they generate millions of listeners, most would expect them to be profitable wherever they go. These two are the top talkers in the country.

To sum it up, they are the most controversial. Because of their acid tongues, some businesses have already told radio stations not to air commercials around their shows. It also affects the second stringers and liberal agitators as well.

On most radio stations you hear may hear PSA ads. That's the new norm now that major companies such as GM, McDonald's, AT&T, Verizon, Time Warner Cable, Comcast and People Magazine severed ties with talk radio.

This is the effect of that boycott against that old fart. The old fart went off on Sandra Fluke in 2012 and started a media discussion about the negative effects of the freedom of speech. Limbaugh may have self-inflicted himself in this situation.
Glenn Beck is aware of talk radio's demise. To prevent him from fading out of the limelight, he created The Blaze. The Blaze is competing with Newsmax and conservative titian Fox News. He also created a television and radio network that offers unabashed opinions from conservative and libertarian agitators.
Even liberal agitators find it even harder to move into territory. Stephanie Miller's home station was progressive. Miller was dropped from her station for Limbaugh.

Limbaugh lost most of top billing syndicators in major markets. Now he's on second stringer radio stations. The second stringer stations that carried Miller, Alan Colmes and Thom Hartmann are now for Limbaugh, Hannity, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage and Mark Levin.

The money demo is age 25 - 54. Talk radio seen an epic nosedive in the money demo. Even Limbaugh acknowledged the slide.




It's a damn shame that in the wake of numerous controversies in the age of Barack Obama, these agitators have profited well. But the effects they've created has everyone turned off to politics.

Talk radio is the White man's soapbox. They like to hear one of their own bitch about politics political correctness and policies. We can't convince a listener of talk radio to hear the other side.

It's already a lost.

It doesn't matter who becomes the next president. The environment is so toxic, it's expected that the next president will face strong opposition. It's expected that agitators will waste no time attacking the character of the president. They will create decades of polarization and the lack of compromise.

It will eventually doom any opportunities to get things done.

Expect the Democrats to get revenge on Republicans. If a Republican nominee becomes the president, the Democrats will waste no time trying to destroy him. They will be even more worse than that old fart saying "I hope he fails."

Conservatives Cheer With Glee As Progressive Radio Is Yanked Off The Air!

Progressive talk radio is an endangered species.

The racist right won many battles in 2013. They've taken Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Mike Lee and Rand Paul to the mainstream. Four men who have relatively no accomplishments managed to get more attention in the junk food media. They've been on many GOP Sunday programs ranting and raving about how they hate Barack Obama and offer no real ideas to go against him.

They've gotten Martin Bashir off MSNBC (Obama News) after he compared Palin Da Ass's comments to defecating in a slave's mouth.

They've rallied against the IRS, the U.S. Census bureau, the TSA, the NSA and the president's nominees.

How many times have you've heard about Benghazi?

I know that Lindsay Graham, Michelle Bachmann, Darrell Issa, and Mike Rogers are harping about the president letting Americans dies overseas at a Libyan consulate that was a CIA front. And despite evidence proving the president's point about a spontaneous event, these right wing agitators made a theme of it being a moment of aloof for President Barack Obama.

They managed to shuffle the deck in the fight for Congress. The Republicans lead in most national polls. They many have the potential to win Congress. They've gerrymandered districts that made it even harder for Democrats to pick up. To make this clear, even a moderate Republican can lose.

Alan Colmes
They managed to get Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson back on the show.

They managed to put progressive radio on the ropes literally. They cheer knowing that Stephanie Miller, Bill Press, Ed Schultz, Thom Hartmann, Alan Colmes, Joe Madison, Randi Rhodes and Mike Malloy are bumped off the air.

In part of the Cumulus firing of That Guy Who Helped Obama Win (aka Sean Hannity), the radio dials had to change flagships. Some stations are willing to take that annoying ass conservative agitator in place of a handful of progressive agitators who once held title to their stations. The shakeup has even Stephanie Miller, the 10th most listened agitator searching for a new radio home. Ed Schultz, the fifth most listened agitator on radio flagship WWRL AM, New York is going to Spanish language and he's bumped.

Stephanie Miller.
 The flagship station KTLK AM in Los Angeles will drop Stephanie Miller and Ed Schultz for King Hippo (aka Rush Limbaugh) and That Guy Who Helped Obama Win.  the media radio giants have decided that the progressive voices aren't marketable either.

It's a sad state of affairs. Most talk radio hosts are WHITE MALES. There is a strong lack of diversity in the talk radio format.

And due to the fact that those two conservative agitators caused a whole lot of trouble during 2012 U.S. presidential elections, some media outlets are trying to keep controversy to a minimum.

These two agitators really screwed up everyone's opportunity for advertising successes. Now progressive talkers and up-in-coming conservatives are struggling to find many radio affiliates and finding alternatives off the AM dial. Some are taking it to SiriusXM or the internet.

The stations that had progressive radio agitators are being replaced with conservative agitators. Some are even going to sports talk and Spanish radio.

Currently, there are fewer than 100 U.S. commercial radio stations carrying liberal talk programs, compared to around 600 stations for King Hippo and 500 for That Guy Who Helped Obama Win and many other agitators. A good example of the format's struggles is in Boston, where Clear Channel put it on AM 1200 and 1430 from 2004 until 2006. A short time later, host Jeff Santos began buying time on WWZN AM 1510 in Boston airing his own show plus syndicated offerings such as Ed Schultz and Stephanie Miller.

As money dried up, and after other national hosts were offered such as Al Sharpton, his brokered time on WWZN shrank to his own show, and then that was cut loose in the fall of 2012 as the station went to all sports. Santos does have a few other stations in other areas carrying his show but is currently off in Boston, thought of as a left-leaning city (it is possible National Public Radio stations in the area cater to this audience already.)

On January 21, 2010, Air America announced that it would immediately cease programming, and the company would file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy; citing some of the following reasons on their website:

"The very difficult economic environment has had a significant impact on Air America's business.
Joe Madison left AM radio to join SiriusXM. One of the many progressive voices on radio that moved to the internet when their affiliates dropped programming.
This past year has seen a "perfect storm" in the media industry generally. National and local advertising revenues have fallen drastically, causing many media companies nationwide to fold or seek bankruptcy protection.

From large to small, recent bankruptcies like Citadel Broadcasting and closures like that of the industry's long-time trade publication Radio and Records have signaled that these are very difficult and rapidly changing times."

It's business though.

In my opinion the top ten agitators in the talk radio format:

1) Rush Limbaugh
2) Sean Hannity
3) Michael Savage
4) Glenn Beck
5) Ed Schultz
6) Mark Levin
7) Dave Ramsey
8) Thom Hartmann
9) Howard Stern
10) Stephanie Miller

Talk Radio Host Promotes Racist Secessionist Movement While Selling His Stupid Survival Kits!

Outrage from the far right leads to secessionist talk and Alex Jones leads the way!

There's just enough of this nonsense going around! Talk radio has been making a fortune! Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage and Laura Ingraham are the top five talk radio host in the nation.

They're the most controversial figures on the AM (and sometimes FM) dial.

Ed Schultz, Thom Hartmann, Joe Madison, Stephanie Miller and Alan Colmes are the top five liberal talk radio host.

A summary of the top ten talk radio host in America.

1) Rush Limbaugh
2) Sean Hannity
3) Michael Savage
4) Glenn Beck
5) Laura Ingraham
6) Ed Schultz
7) Mark Levin
8) Joe Madison
9) Howard Stern
10) Stephanie Miller

Talk radio is actually declining in listeners. Rush Limbaugh practically destroyed every hard fought gains this year. After the Sandra Fluke incident, many Americans felt that talk radio has gone too far in rhetoric. Many talk radio hosts push the bar lower when it comes to politics. Each host allows an extremist to vent off frustration of the president. Some of these people use their freedom of speech to inflict harm on to others.

These talk radio hosts make profits keeping Americans divided.

White men are the most pessimistic when it comes to the president, the economy and a changing demographic. And who could agitate them more than a conservative talk radio host or a news network devoted to trashing the president and his allies in the progressive movement.

The talk of Hostess closing down, the Benghazi tragedy, the David Petraeus sex scandal, and talk of secession from the United States are the rally cries for conservative outrage.

One lesser known figure in talk radio has been building an audience in the conspiracy movement.

Alex Jones, the founder of PrisonPlanet and InfoWars host a radio show and internet program weekly. And since he's existence, he's attracted a following.

Many of these individuals are into the conspiracy of the September 11th, 2001 attacks being an inside job. Some believe that the New World Order puts in puppet governments. Many of these individuals are into conspiracies about the Project for th New American Century (PNAC), the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Operation Northwoods, and the Bohemian Grove retreat. These individuals are supportive of perennial loser Ron Paul. Many of these individuals believe the president wasn't born in the United States. Many of the individuals are buying rationing equipment from the InfoWars website.

Alex Jones is making a fortune scaring up people.

He is calling for a second "American Revolution" against the president. Being a sponsor of the secessionist movement, Jones has been active in getting individuals to flood The White House's official petition board with ridiculous requests to leave the United States.

Although we laugh at these people for their hard fought efforts to build a country of hate, it's primarily growing from frustration from the White supremacists online.

Diane Roberts writes about the growing outrage in the far right.
Diane Roberts from The Guardian reports this growing movement of petitions spurs from the angst of President Barack Obama trouncing Mitt Romney in the election.

Evidently suffering from a nasty strain of Re-election Derangement Syndrome, some Americans want to leave the country. They don't want to flee to Canada or Mexico (too many foreigners), but create their own little nations in which they can breathe the unregulated air of liberty, free from the godless, Kenyan, Muslim, Marxist tyranny of Barack Hussein Obama.

Secession is back. White supremacists, Christian fundamentalists, and other malcontents lost in the back streets of Crazytown, post petitions on the White House's "We the People" website, demanding that their state be allowed to separate from the Union. While the polar ice melts, the US army's top brass struggle to contain bimbo eruptions and Israel does its damnedest to start the third world war, these sore losers want to re-enact 1861.

Petitions have now come in from all 50 states, though the top seven are Texas, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee. All were once part of the Old Confederacy, and all (except Florida) went for Mitt Romney. At the same time, they take almost one-quarter of the federal dollars allotted to the states. But irony, as everyone knows, has a liberal bias.

Texas's petition, now boasting 100,000 signatures, argues secession is necessary to protect people against the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and other noxious big gubmint cabals determined too trample their rights. Signatories want to reinstate "the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government".

Though these petitions have zero legal status, and less chance of going anywhere, the White House has promised to respond to anything that gets more than 25,000 signatures. It's unclear how soon a response will come, what form the response will take, and whether it will involve uncontrollable giggling and a free bottle of valium.

Secessionists, however, remain undeterred. Alabama's petition was filed by Derrick Belcher, currently an operations manager for a trucking company, but once the proud owner of a popular topless car wash in Mobile, Alabama. He lost his business when he was arrested and charged with obscenity in 2001. The heavy hand of the state destroyed his American dream:

"The government ripped my business away, and now they're choking America to death with rules and regulations."
Groups such as the Texas Nationalist Movement and the Republic of Texas, which believe that the state was annexed illegally by the US government (they don't say much about who "annexed" it from Mexico) took heart in 2009 when Governor Rick "Oops" Perry warned that if the "federal government keeps thumbing its nose at the American people", Texans might have to take drastic action:
"When we came into the nation in 1845, we were a stand-alone nation. And one of the deals was, we can leave any time we want."
Actually, that never was the deal: Texas can't flounce out of the Union any time it feels like it. Nor can the others. "States rights" zealots may insist the tenth amendment to the constitution allows any state unhappy with the federal government to withdraw peacefully and nullify any federal law the state disagrees with, but that's all gone, as it were, with the wind. The question of federal supremacy was settled at Appomattox in 1865. General Robert E Lee himself ordered that the Confederate battle flag be furled and the nation reunited.


Fox News, naturally, takes secession quite seriously, with panel show "The Five" and pundit Sean Hannity treating the idea with a respect it doesn't deserve. Rightwing news aggregator Matt Drudge also gives secession house room on his Report. A few prominent paleo-conservatives have joined in the secesh chorus as well: "Saturday Night Live" star turned washed up celebrity Victoria Jackson passionately wants her home state of Florida to leave the Union, tweeting:





Jackson also wonders if maybe Barack Obama stole the election, since it's the sort of horrible, criminal, no-good thing he'd do.

The editor of World Net Daily, a site which continues to assert that Obama was born in Kenya (unless he turns out to be the Anti-Christ, after all), sighs "Divorce is an ugly word," then goes on:
"The election of 2012 provides more stark evidence that we are not really one country, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. We are already two peoples – those of us still loyal and faithful to the God-inspired founding American principles and those who have gone awhoring after the idols of government coercion."
Republicans in elected office, however, are backing away from secession as fast as they can. Governor Perry, no longer flirting with separatism, opined that while Texans are frustrated with the federal government, breaking up the country isn't a great idea on the whole. Other governors – even in the deepest depths of the south – want no part of it. Bill Haslam, governor of Tennessee, said, "I don't think we'll be seceding"; a spokeswoman for Alabama's chief executive said, "Governor Bentley believes in one nation under God"; and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley asked, "Didn't we try that once before?"

Pro-union Americans have filed their own petitions on "We the People", calling for anyone who signs a secession petition to be deported or declared a traitor. Residents of Texas' capital city, home of the "Keep Austin Weird" bumper sticker, say if Texas succeeds in striking off on its own, they want to secede from secession. They'd be happy without the rest of the state, charging that they suffer from "lack of civil, religious and political freedoms imposed … by less liberally minded Texans".

Who'd miss Texas anyway? As long as we get Austin, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Ornette Coleman, the Dixie Chicks and Lyle Lovett, they can have George W Bush, Ron Paul and the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.

A Nigger-Lovin' Obama Supporter, Says Texas Bigot!

Feeling the love!

As of right now, President Barack Obama has 332 electoral votes and Mitt Romney has 191 electoral votes.

This comes courtesy of The Huffington Post.

The Lone Star State is notorious for hot heads! Another ridiculous attack from a radical conservative asshole who has an apparent hatred of President Barack Obama. The Raw Story presents another issue straight out of Texas.

Now I'm not the one to jump to conclusions but someone in Texas really hates President Barack Obama!

In McKinney, Texas some bigot with unprecedented support Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney vandalized a woman's pro-Obama yard sign with racist and vulgar language.

Cassy Zobel is a 34-year-old white business owner and blogger from McKinney, Texas. Last weekend, she revealed on Friday that someone had covered her Obama yard sign with the message: “N*GGER LOVER — Obama Sucks Dick!”

When neighbors saw the sign, she notified the police. She told a fellow blogger about her situation.
“We have at least 4 African American families living on this street. I’m so offended, not just because whoever did this is ignorant and misinformed and trespassed and vandalized my sign, but infinitely more for my neighbors who might have driven by and seen it.”
The back side of the sign was covered with, “Romney & Ryan: Christian. White. Anti-Gay. Republicans Rule!”

This controversy has the woman fuming! She gives a warning to those who vandalize her signs:
“The [homeowner association] has been notified, and my sign is uncovered and back in my yard. I’m not afraid of you and your bigotry,” she advised the perpetrator, adding, “WHEN we catch you messing with our sign you will, quite appropriately be charged with the felony this is and smacked with the associated $2,000 fine.”
“I find it interesting that our little suburban city was just named the 2nd best place to live in America,” Cassy noted. “I suppose there should have been a caveat. ‘Best Place to Live If You’re A Bigoted White, Christian, Anti-Gay Person Who Doesn’t Support Our First African-American President And Hates Everyone Who Does.’ That was probably too long a title, though.”

Rush Limbaugh: al-Qaeda Threw Osama bin Laden Under The Bus To Make Obama Win!

I've listened to the Friday episodes of Neal Boortz, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. Their radio programs are the stable of my entertainment when I'm bored with the hip-hop stations. When the opportunity is right, I sometimes cleanse my head of the negativity with progressive radio hosts Stephanie Miller and Alan Colmes.

Each of them have nothing but Obama on their tongues. This is a sign that they're giving up on Mitt Romney as the viable candidate to take on President Barack Obama. These characters (known as conservative agitators) name drop the president more than anything else this week! They know the gig is up for Romney.

Of course, Sean Hannity is madly obsessed with the Egyptian conservative Muslim Brotherhood, a political group that swooped into power under the country's first democratically held elections this year.

The crisis in the Middle East has the United States doing damage control. The United States is denouncing the violence that led to the death of diplomat Christopher Stevens.

Tyrone Woods, former U.S. Navy Seal died in attack.
President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appear at Fort Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. They awaited the arrivals of the coffins of the men who lost their lives in this senseless violence over an American bigot's decision to rile up tension in the Middle East. The president and Secretary Clinton spoke favorably of the late Stevens and three

This bigot created a movie depicting the Prophet Mohammad in a negative light. The person who filmed this movie is fearing for his life. With good reason! His decision to use his freedom of speech to promote religious intolerance has probably undone the progress of the United States relations in the Middle East.

Afghanistan is the longest war in the history of the United States. President Barack Obama outline withdrawal in the Summer of 2014. The Republicans crow about the president not saying "War on Terrorism" or "declaring victory" in their statements. They're so invested in symbolic themes to paint themselves as the "Savior of the world" and the like!

Rush Limbaugh is no stranger to controversy. This year alone, the Big Voice on The Right has taken drastic steps to prevent another potential boycott of his show. He lost a number of national endorsements and is trying to regain some footing since the Sandra Fluke controversy.
Libya Attack Victims
Sean Smith and Glen Doherty died in U.S. Embassy Attack.
Limbaugh, 62 has been a huge thorn to the president.

Limbaugh mocks the president by mocking his middle name in a humming sound. He had the nerve to call the president, reality star Kim Kardashian in response to his fundraisers with major celebrities in Hollywood. He knocked First Lady Michelle Obama for being "not like the women that baseball star Alex Rodriguez dates". In other words he called the first lady, fat.

Yet, no one has taken to the streets demanding him being pulled from the radio over comments like this. But it took a private citizen to make it possible. Rush Limbaugh made Sandra Fluke the voice and face of the women's right movement.

This week, the conservative agitator makes his opinion known that he long wished Osama bin Laden was still alive invoking fear upon the United States.

Rush Limbaugh on Friday went into this tirade over media knocking the foreign policy gaffe Mitt Romney made on Wednesday. He claims that President Barack Obama doesn't care about the victims lost in the Libyan embassy attack. He also attacked the president for going to a fundraiser being sponsored by media mogul Jay-Z and his wife pop singer Beyonce.
Christopher Stevens, U.S. Ambassador who died in embassy attacks.
The conservative agitator goes forth with a ridiculous notion that the terrorist group al-Qaeda gotten tired of being pushed around by Osama bin Laden, so they've decided to hand him over to the United States to make the president look good.

“What if Ayman al-Zawahiri and other Al Qaeda leaders gave up Osama bin Laden for the express purpose of making Obama look good?”

 “Giving Obama stature, political capital?”

The Politico reports, Limbaugh, admitting he had a “wild theory” and was “just thinking off the top of my head,” said bin Laden — the founder of Al Qaeda, its leader for more than two decades and a major funder of its operations until he was killed by Navy SEALs in 2011 — was “expendable.”

“al-Qaeda was not depending on Osama bin Laden for operational leadership,” Limbaugh said. “His day had come and gone.”

Limbaugh said the terrorist group would rather have Obama in power to help them get “what they want more than anything in the world” — the destruction of Israel.

“Let me put it to you this way,” he said. “Do you think that militant Islamists will be as hopeful of getting rid of Israel with a Republican president or with a Democrat president?”
President Barack Obama embraces Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at Andrews Air Force Base.
al-Qaeda isn’t the only group working to help Obama’s reelection, according to Limbaugh. In recent months, the host has suggested the Chicago Teachers’ Union strike was a Democratic ploy to help the president, implied the National Hurricane Center falsified early forecasts for Hurricane Isaac to force the GOP to cancel the first day of its convention, and briefly claimed Hollywood had Batman fight Bane in “The Dark Knight Rises” to remind voters of GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s business career. He quickly backed off the latter accusation.

Tea-Part-A Fil-A Chick-Fil-A!


                         

The controversy continues with Chick-Fil-A and the members of the LGBT community.

The National Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day was declared by every conservative agitator in the country in response to the progressives boycott of the fast food restaurant.

From observance off Interstate 75 in my area, I got the opportunity to see the exit ramp congested with vehicles heading to the restaurant nearly 1/2 mile away. I heard on the radio that lines were long and the wait was even longer.

Many across the country heard the rally cry from the Tea Party and conservative talk radio. They've showed up in droves. Waiting for up to three hours for a chicken sandwich with some of the world famous waffle fries.

Conservatives claim victory in bigotry. It's the way of the world. Chick-Fil-A is making a cash cow. S. Truett Cathy and his son Dan are getting booking on Fox News (likely Mike Huckabee, Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilly), and he's the new Tea Party hero of the month.

Rush Limbaugh celebrates his 24 years of conservative agitating by asking his listeners to get a sandwich from Chick-Fil-A.

From Wikipedia, Chick-Fil-A had historically been identified with shopping malls, as most of its original restaurants were in their food courts. Its first freestanding store opened in 1986; most of its new restaurants also are freestanding.

The Chick-Fil-A Sandwich is famous for its spicy flavor and pickles on a toasted bun.

What brought the restaurant into controversy was an interview on the syndicated radio talk show, The Ken Coleman Show. Chick-Fil-A COO Dan Cathy made what was seen as an inflammatory statement. Cathy stated: "I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage'. I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about."

Thomas Menino, the mayor of Boston is taking offense to the Chick-Fil-A's hardline stance against gay marriage.


In the wake of this interview, Thomas Menino, the Mayor of Boston, stated that he would not allow the company to open franchises in the city "unless they open up their policies.” Menino subsequently wrote a letter to Dan Cathy, citing Cathy's earlier statement on The Ken Coleman Show and responding: "We are indeed full of pride for our support of same sex marriage and our work to expand freedom for all people."

In Chicago alderman Proco "Joe" Moreno announced his determination to block Chick-Fil-A's bid to build a second store in the city: "They'd have to do a complete 180," Moreno said in outlining conditions under which he would retract the block. "They'd have to work with LGBT groups in terms of hiring, and there would have to be a public apology from [Cathy]." Moreno received backing from Chicago's Mayor, Rahm Emanuel: "Chick-Fil-A values are not Chicago values," Emanuel said in a statement. "They disrespect our fellow neighbors and residents. This would be a bad investment, since it would be empty."

Rahm Emanuel, the mayor Chicago has issued a resolution condemning Chick-Fil-A. 

San Francisco soon followed suit on July 26 when mayor Edwin M. Lee tweeted, "Very disappointed #ChickFilA doesn't share San Francisco's values & strong commitment to equality for everyone." Lee followed that tweet with "Closest #ChickFilA to San Francisco is 40 miles away & I strongly recommend that they not try to come any closer."

The proposed bans in Boston and Chicago drew criticism from liberal pundits, legal experts and the American Civil Liberties Union. Kevin Drum of Mother Jones magazine said "[T]here's really no excuse for Emanuel's and Menino's actions... you don't hand out business licenses based on whether you agree with the political views of the executives. Not in America, anyway."

UCLA law professor and blogger Eugene Volokh observed, "[D]enying a private business permits because of such speech by its owner is a blatant First Amendment violation." Echoing those views were Glenn Greenwald of Salon, professor John Turley of George Washington University, and Adam Schwartz, a senior attorney with the ACLU.

In response to the July 2 interview, the Jim Henson Company, which had entered its Pajanimals in a kids' meal toy licensing arrangement in 2011, said that it would cease its business relationship with Chick-Fil-A, and donate payment for the brand to Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).

Citing safety concerns, Chick-Fil-A stopped distributing the toys.

A spokeswoman stated the decision had been made July 19 and was unrelated to the controversy.

Ms. Sylvia Passes Away!

Dubbed the "Queen of Soul Food", Sylvia Woods passed away after complications of Alzheimer's disease.

I could remember that four years ago, Bill O'Reilly once said on his old radio program, "Hey, M-fer! I want more ice tea!" He made that comment about how unruly Black patrons act in restaurants. Black conservative commentator Juan Williams defended his comments and claimed that "the media" was blacklisting O'Reilly for his comments. If O'Reilly was blacklisted, why is he still on television?

That infamous comment from the conservative agitator came after he and now MSNBC commentator Al Sharpton were attending the Harlem restaurant Sylvia's. At first, O'Reilly was expressing his concerns about attending a Black restaurant but realized that the historic eating establishment was more than some run of the mill shack.

The reason why I bring this up is the fact that the owner of the famed restaurant had died.

According to CNN and the liberal agitating website, Newser, Sylvia Woods, known internationally as the "Queen of Soul Food," died Thursday, according to a statement issued by her family. She was 86.

"Sylvia gallantly battled Alzheimer's for the past several years, but never once lost her loving smile," her family said. She died peacefully, surrounded by loved ones at her Westchester home.

Woods' world-renowned Harlem establishment, Sylvia's, has drawn celebrities, politicians, tourists and locals alike to enjoy its famed soul food for more than 50 years.

Woods and her husband, Herbert, opened the Lenox Avenue restaurant in 1962, featuring Southern cooking staples like cornbread, collard greens and fried chicken.

"We lost a legend today," New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a statement. "For more than 50 years, New Yorkers have enjoyed Sylvia's and visitors have flocked to Harlem to get a table. In her words, the food was made with 'a whole lot of love' and generations of family and friends have come together at what became a New York institution."

Following the success of her restaurant, Woods and her family developed Sylvia's Catering Corp. and a nationwide line of Sylvia's Food Products.

Woods also penned two celebrated cookbooks, "Sylvia's Family Soul Food Cookbook: From Hemingway, South Carolina, To Harlem" and "Sylvia's Soul Food."

Woods announced her retirement from her soul food empire on her 80th birthday, her family said, passing the torch to her children and grandchildren.
