At the Bar: The Rite of Passage

Don't Vote For The Nigger Says Georgia Bar Owner (At Least On His Road Sign)!

Not the first time bar owner's sign causing a stir.

Its the continuation of extremism within the Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement.

In the state of Georgia, Patrick Lanzo the owner of Georgia Peach Oyster Bar puts out a sign that is an eye grabber.

Matter of fact, it's getting major attention.

In what could be another racial themed insult on President Barack Obama, many conservatives are making an attempt to discount the president as inferior, in turn they undermine the Black vote.

On the sign it reads, "i Do Not Support The Nigger In The White House" (sic).

Lanzo denies he's a racist. But asked to why he puts up such a controversial sign the owner acknowledges that it could touch off a firestorm.

A few years ago, this same owner caused some ire among the NAACP and others when he protested the racial slur to the road sign in protest of the 2010 American Health Care Law. Lanzo once claimed he was a member of the civil rights organziation.

Mike Norman, owner of a bar selling a racist t-shirt.

Only a mere four years ago, the owner of another Georgia bar created a t-shirt with the impression of a monkey with the words "Obama in 08". The monkey was a version of Curious George, a famous children's book. The bar was named Mulligans and its owner Mike Norman denies the t-shirt were racist. Norman thought of Barack Obama looking like that little monkey with the big ears. It was meant to be funny, at least in his opinion.

What is troubling is these people are going to make another attempt to play upon racial fears of Blacks.

What is troubling is the Republicans never bat an eyelash when one of their own is caught doing something that is deemed extreme. There may be some who look at this as an isolated incident, but if it wasn't for news agitators like Huffington Post, Newser, Buzzfeed and Newsone, these incidents could have been ignored.

While these assholes are entitled to their opinion. This incident as well as many others have consequences.

You look at the economic food chain. When a person or a group is offended by an action by an individual, they look upon this an attack not only on the person but the group itself. And in turn this what drives the sensationalism.

A birth control advocate by the name of Sandra Fluke for example. The Democratic Party wanted to debate the concerns of religious leaders who were opposed to a portion of the 2010 American Health Care law. They asked the Georgetown University student to testify in favor of the mandate that requires religious institutions that employ workers to have contraception accessibility. When Congressman Darrell Issa (R-California) denied her to testify, that created a firestorm. What was more troubling, the Republicans subpoena men to Congress to testify against contraception. When Congressman Issa finally allowed Sandra Fluke to testify, it became a major controversy when Sandra Fluke was called a slut by radio host Rush Limbaugh and mocked as a "lesbian" subliminally by Monica Crowley through her Twitter page. Instead of focusing on the issues that were a concern to Sandra Fluke, these two prominent conservatives made this a personal issue in which it affected a group. Now women are upset with Limbaugh and they managed to hurt him in revenue by boycotting his program. Crowley a woman herself, was forced to apologize for her remarks. President Barack Obama called Sandra Fluke to express his support of her.

Black teenager Trayvon Martin was killed by George Zimmerman, a White (Hispanic) man. Instead of focusing on issues that are a concern among Blacks, Muslims and Hispanic/Latinos, many conservatives were up in arms about the tragedy. They ignored the fact the teenager was unarmed. They focused on his social networking websites, his use of marijuana, his school suspension and why he even wore a hoodie in the first place. They want to discount Trayvon Martin as a victim. What this led to was a protest march. The protest urged the United States Justice Department to get involved. The protest demanded the Florida governor Rick Scott, to hire a special prosecutor to get involved in which it led to George Zimmerman's arrest. The conservatives angered this group. This became a rally cry to boycotting ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council), a conservative organization that sponsors controversial state legislation.

See these incidents are a sign of the strategy Republicans are playing.

What is the most troubling is the Black community is always provoked by White conservative men. The Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement are wrapping their asses and eventually their necks around the American flag in preparedness (or defense) of these ridiculous culture wars. Conservatives harbor bigoted views towards race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, political and economic standings. 

The progressives (liberals) seem to label conservatives as racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, overreaching, condescending, morons with pain inducing rants that cater to extremists.

They never tell you that one! You see that every time a conservative complains about President Barack Obama or the Black community in general, the word salad usually includes:

[Blacks] aren't capable of solving problems. They're always creating turmoil! They are fixated on blaming their faults on the White man! They are always screaming racism! They're always taking from hard working [Whites] by staying on welfare and food stamps. [Blacks] are the ones who are really racist! You see how Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Eric Holder and Barack Obama defend the [New] Black Panthers. They rather give Black racists (and criminals) a pass but accuse Republicans and conservatives of being racist themselves. There are so many incidents that involved black on white crime, it's unbelievable. This stuff is never reported in the 'liberal media'. White women are raped by [Black] males everyday! They never report this stuff. When Blacks claim a crime was committed by a White person, they are causing trouble by lying about these so-called crimes to seek attention! You never hear about this stuff because Blacks are so in love with Obama. Because the Blacks are so fixated on trying to keep their "brotha", Barack Obama in the White House. The overwhelming support of Barack Obama by Black voters is troubling. They will never look at John McCain, Mitt Romney, Herman Cain as the candidates willing to help Blacks. They are brainwashed into voting for Democrats, plain and simple! 

We're trying to transition them out of the "Democrat Plantation". We keep telling them that the Democratic Party is the party of the Ku Klux Klan. We keep telling them that Democrats are always keeping them poor! We keep telling Blacks that Democrats want more abortions, same sex marriage and are holding them back! When these White liberals vote for Barack Obama, we believe its White guilt. Because they don't want to be labeled a racist. The Republicans were the party of Civil Rights, and yet the Blacks support the Democrats. They refuse to acknowledge civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was once a Republican. They refuse to acknowledge that the Dixiecrats [State's Rights Democratic Party] were the ones who turned the fire hoses on Blacks and endorsed Jim Crow laws. Republicans want to make the Black community lives better. We accomplished a big goal this time by electing two Black legislators to Congress. We got Allen West and Tim Scott. The Tea Party isn't racist. You prove to us there's a racist in the Tea Party and we can tell you that the Occupy Wall Street movement is racist. Look how many White people attend these events. Have you seen a Black person at the Occupy Wall Street Protest? We had plenty of Black speakers at the Tea Party. You Black people are going to make it harder for Barack Obama to win. You keep pushing these stories to paint the Republicans as racist, in turn we will gain more White voters because they'll eventually get tired of your stories of Trayvon Martin, the "racist" ramblings of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Barack Obama. We will make it our goal to see President Barack Obama as a "one term president".

Now tell me if you haven't read or heard this from a conservative Republican or a conservative who votes Democrat.

Miami Herald Unearths Controversial Shooter's MySpace Page!

We haven't forgotten about the Trayvon Martin shooting. Most in the American media, have packed up and left for the next sensational story to unfold. But down in Sanford, Florida, George Zimmerman, the controversial young man who shot and killed the unarmed teenager is free on a $150,000 bond. And while on bond, his legal defense is trying to scrub his track record clean, literally. It's one of those things, a person is willing to do to get at least a decent trial. But to give another clear look into Zimmerman lies within his social networking websites.

Although most people channel their feelings and lovely pictures on Facebook, MySpace still exist and George Zimmerman still remains a member.

The Miami Herald unearthed George Zimmerman's MySpace page. The controversy steam from some of his thoughts on Mexicans.

No matter how many firewalls, anti-virus protections, and malware defense mechanisms used, someone will always find a way to put your life online.


I want to say that this asshole is entitled to his opinion. He has a right to speak his mind. But unfortunately, all these things that come up may show that George Zimmerman may have profiled Trayvon Martin based on his race.

Zimmerman defends the shooting by claiming it was self-defense.

Zimmerman's defense team raised over $200 thousand dollars in legal assistance and yet the judge didn't raise his bond to the $1 million. The Martin family defense was devastated by the decision and how it was easy for Zimmerman to bond out on 10 percent.

I am shocked that on his MySpace page, he made these nasty comments about his ex-girlfriend. The one who said he had an anger management problem and accused him of throwing items at her. He bragged on his MySpace page about his homesickness to Virginia. He brags about getting a misdemeanor charge after assaulting a police officer. And yes, posted his disdain for "Mexican thugs" who run through his tires with their knives.

I am sorry, but George Zimmerman is an idiot. Add this controversy to the many other incidents that this young man's done in his three months of media scrutiny.

Would this play in the trial?

Your guess is as good as mine!

Neo Nazi Border Vigilante J.T. Ready Kills Family And Himself

J.T. Ready.

Extremists within the conservative movement are worked up.

All these culture wars are credited to making more unease within the White Supremacy movement. They already know that it's likely President Barack Obama could win reelection.

They're aware of the changing demographics in which Hispanic/Latinos and Blacks are growing in rapid rates. Interracial births are at an all time high. The United States is becoming a little more browner. That's gotta to unravel some.

White nationalists allied with the Minutemen Border Movement patrolled the United States-Mexican border threatening and even possibly killing illegal immigrants.

J.T. Ready, a notorious figure in the White Supremacist circles lived in Arizona. A prominent fixture in Republican politics once tried to run for an Arizona County Sheriff post and was a poll watcher for elections. The often animated Ready would promote himself as the savior of the White race.

In Gilbert, Arizona, J.T. Ready killed his girlfriend, their daughter and other family members before he committed suicide.

Gilbert mass shooting: White supremacist J.T. Ready left tracks in politics

by Gary Nelson on May. 02, 2012, under Arizona Republic News

J.T. Ready, the avowed White supremacist and militant critic of illegal immigration who authorities believe was the gunman in Wednesday’s multiple murder-suicide in Gilbert, cut a swath through Arizona politics before — and after — it became apparent he represented the far-right fringe of the political spectrum.

Along the way the barrel-chested former Marine became entwined for a time with one of the state’s most powerful political leaders and appeared on the radar of at least two national groups that track potentially violent extremist movements for his views and armed patrols of the Mexico border.

Authorities believe Ready, 39, shot and killed four people in a Gilbert home before turning a gun on himself.

Ready was allied briefly with former state Senate President Russell Pearce, and the two posed together for photographers during an anti-illegal-immigration rally at the state Capitol in June 2007. By the next year, as Ready’s ties to neo-Nazi and White supremacist groups became more apparent, Pearce disavowed him.

Pearce, who was defeated last November in a recall election, is now first vice chairman of the Arizona Republican Party and is running again for the Senate, this time from the new District 26 in Mesa.

Party spokesman Shane Wikfors said Pearce would not comment on Ready’s death. “He’s not going to want to have anything to do with him,” Wikfors said. “We categorically, absolutely had nothing to do with him.”

Marc Pitcavage, national director of investigative research for the Anti-Defamation League, said the group has long been aware of Ready’s activities.

The group’s website describes Ready as a “neo-Nazi and anti-immigrant extremist,” tracing his activities in Arizona from 2004 onward.

“We have monitored J.T. Ready for many years now,” Pitcavage said. It began with Ready’s early activities as a border vigilante but soon led to the realization that Ready was “a full-fledged White supremacist.”

For a time, Pitcavage said, Ready was a “mover and shaker” for the National Socialist Movement, a neo-Nazi group with about 330 members nationwide. Ready was one of the group’s two principal leaders in the Phoenix area, Pitcavage said.

An online biography of Ready includes several quotes in which he advocated restoring the country as a "White, European homeland,” called for militant action against Jews and advocated using “lawful, deadly force” when appropriate to protect the Mexican border.

Pitcavage said it would be premature to link Ready’s extreme political views to the explosion of violence that ended five lives on Wednesday. “When the shooting spree is directed toward family members, or what were essentially the closest thing he had to family members, those are usually personal rather than ideological motives,” Pitcavage said.

Ready also had been tracked by the Southern Poverty Law Center, an Alabama-based civil-rights organization that monitors hate and extremist groups. Like the ADL, the center carries a biography of Ready on its website.

It notes that Ready apparently got his start in politics as president of the Mesa Community College Republican Club and became increasingly involved in local issues in the early 2000s.

According to the SPLC biography, Ready received a bad-conduct discharge from the Marines in 1996, after being court-martialed twice — once for larceny and going AWOL, and once for conspiracy and assault.

The site also lists a 1992 criminal conviction for property damage and assault after he and a friend destroyed a car mirror with a baseball bat.

Ready ran for political office at least twice in Mesa and once as a write-in candidate for U.S. Senate. In 2004 he ran in the Republican primary for a House seat from District 18, which Pearce already represented.

In 2006 he ran for Mesa City Council from a heavily Hispanic district and finished second among four candidates.

During that council campaign, The Arizona Republic uncovered inconsistencies in the biography he had provided the newspaper and found that he had been convicted of assault in Florida when he was 18 years old.

Ready had claimed to be a founding member of the Arizona Minuteman Project, a border-vigilante group, but admitted that he was just a member, not a founder.

That campaign also featured a bizarre incident in which Ready, who earlier had solicited votes from the Hells Angels, traded shots with an illegal immigrant whom Ready believed was involved in criminal activity. Nobody was hurt.

A year later Ready caused a commotion at a Mesa City Council meeting when the mayor denied him permission to speak in opposition to a Mesa police detective who was campaigning against hate crimes.

Ready’s ties to Pearce became an issue during Pearce’s 2008 re-election campaign when a group called Mesa Deserves Better sent a mailer depicting Pearce as a friend of neo-Nazis.

Amid that campaign, three Arizona Republican congressmen sent a letter to the chairman of the Maricopa County Republican Party demanding Ready’s removal as a precinct committeeman in District 18 because of his neo-Nazi ties.

By that time, Ready had been in that post for two years and was not seeking re-election. “You can’t grow a party when you’re rallying with J.T. Ready,” U.S. Rep. Jeff Flake said at the time.

But Ready apparently was trying to re-enter politics this year and had formed a committee to seek the Democratic nomination for sheriff in Pinal County.

Shortly after Ready’s death became known Wednesday afternoon, someone posted this message on his Facebook page: “Reports are unconfirmed that a cartel assassination squad murdered J.T. Ready and several of his friends and family this afternoon in Gilbert, Arizona.”

Harry Hughes, who briefly headed Ready’s campaign committee for sheriff until he was promoted in the National Socialist Movement, said, “I got an e-mail from him the other day and everything seemed fine.”

“And I’ve always said, he was generous, caring, respectful most of the time as far as with friends and acquaintances, maybe not so much people on the other side,” Hughes said.

The Soon To Be Republican Nominee Fires Conservative Agitator (Who Is Gay) After Extremist Groups Warned Of Mutiny Ahead!

Richard Grenell, a gay conservative agitator.

Okay, Mitt Romney, the soon to be Republican nominee is a weak candidate. He will say or do anything to defeat President Barack Obama. Ever since announcing he was going to run for president, Mitt Romney took drastic steps to knock out his political foes.

Besides the president, Mitt Romney spent a majority of his campaign beaten down his political foes within his own party.

I'll admit that most Republicans aren't satisfied with the notion of him being their nominee, but they're desperate and they'll vote for anything to defeat President Barack Obama.

After a brutal primary fight against Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, the race for the nomination has been a little bruising for the soon to be nominee Mitt Romney.

Mitt Romney, the former one term governor of Massachusetts is running once again for President Of The United States. After suffering a setback in 2008, when Senator John McCain of Arizona managed to capture the Republican nomination, many thought that Mitt Romney would do it again.

Now Republicans see Mitt Romney as the one capable of beating President Barack Obama. The major concerns that face the Republican nominee, is pretty much him! Mitt Romney's inconsistencies will hurt him and Republicans are hoping that he'll eventually appeal to the Tea Party. They're hoping that when Mitt Romney secures the nomination and picks a viable running mate, the Republicans will be enthusiastic in voting for him.

But here comes the problems. The Obama campaign is going to hammer the former governor's one term record as governor. They'll find issues with his stance on issues. And the president's liberal allies will paint the former governor as an out of touch politician with statements that are inconsistent with general public. They will paint the former governor as a person willing to appeal to extremists.

Here's the kicker, a political ally who happens to be an openly gay Republican who has his share of outrageous statements is being forced out by the campaign. Richard Garnell, an openly gay conservative agitator who recently scrubbed his Twitter page after making inflammatory statements is on the firing squad after the American Family Association and other anti-gay groups warned the Romney campaign that he will face mutiny if he doesn't get rid of this guy.

Mitt Romney's inconsistencies worries Republicans. After facing a brutal primary, Romney will become the Republican nominee for president. President Barack Obama will go after the candidate over his past statements.

Gay Romney aide steps down, citing backlash over sexuality

By Nia-Malika Henderson and Rachel Weiner, Tuesday, May 1, 8:05 PM

Richard Grenell, whom Mitt Romney chose last month as his presidential campaign’s national security and foreign policy spokesman, stepped down from his post Tuesday, suggesting that the conservative backlash over his sexuality prevented him from being effective in his role.

In a statement provided to The Washington Post, Grenell, who is openly gay, said: “While I welcomed the challenge to confront President Obama’s foreign policy failures and weak leadership on the world stage, my ability to speak clearly and forcefully on the issues has been greatly diminished by the hyper-partisan discussion of personal issues that sometimes comes from a presidential campaign.” He added: “I want to thank Governor Romney for his belief in me and my abilities and his clear message to me that being openly gay was a non-issue for him and his team.”

Widely known in conservative circles, Grenell was named President George W. Bush’s spokesman to the United Nations in 2001, and served as communications director under four U.S. ambassadors to the United Nations, including John R. Bolton, who is among his strongest supporters.

Grenell was a volunteer consultant to the Romney team before he was officially brought aboard, but the hiring was controversial from the start.

Shortly after Romney announced that Grenell would join his team, the former spokesman for the U.S. mission to the United Nations was forced to remove entries from his Twitter account that some considered offensive. Grenell came under fire for a series of snarky tweets aimed at women, including Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton; MSNBC talk show host Rachel Maddow; and Callista Gingrich, the wife of GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich.

The tweets included posts about Clinton’s appearance, Gingrich’s hair and Maddow’s lack of jewelry, 

but Grenell was forced to address complaints that his comments were sexist even before he moved into his new role.

And some longtime reporters openly complained about Grenell’s confrontational style, which sometimes included calls to editors and freezing reporters out of stories. Among Romney’s biggest champions in the twitterverse, Grenell often used his Twitter account to call out reporters and to criticize U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice.

Richard Grenell's Twitter page with offensive tweets.

But it was social conservatives who balked most over the choice.

Matthew J. Franck, director of the William E. and Carol G. Simon Center on Religion and the Constitution at the Witherspoon Institute, called Grenell a “loose cannon” with a passion for the “gay agenda.”

“My problem is that by his own description he is an ardent activist for same-sex marriage who went to go work for a candidate who wants to defeat same-sex marriage. It doesn’t look good to the people that Romney needs support from to have an advocate for same-sex marriage in such a high-profile position,” Franck said. “The Romney campaign needs to be unequivocally opposed to same-sex marriage and to appear to be. The campaign has remedied a problem that was bound to get worse.”

While discussions of foreign policy have been front and center in the campaign for the White House, Grenell has been largely absent.

Last month, Eric Ferhnstrom, a senior Romney aide, welcomed Grenell to the fold with this cheeky tweet: “Welcome aboard to @RichardGrenell. Your etchasketch is in the top drawer. Storage for your sense of shame is on 3rd floor.”

The Romney team maintains that it was Grenell’s decision to leave his post.

“We are disappointed that Ric decided to resign from the campaign for his own personal reasons,” campaign manager Matt Rhoades said in a statement. “We wanted him to stay because he had superior qualifications for the position he was hired to fill.”

If Osama bin Laden Was Alive.....

President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden watching the operation.

In May 2011, President Barack Obama authorized the military special operations unit to go into Abbottabad, Pakistan to track down al-Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden.

A risky and yet gutsy decision by the president to send a covert team of military officers into a country with a mere few hours to carry out the task.

I mean this was a huge story.  Very much for every network to interrupt the season finales of many television programs. President Barack Obama announced on national television the mission's success:

Good evening. Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda, and a terrorist who was responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children...

Yet the Republicans were willing to credit President George W. Bush for carrying out the mission.

 

The Republicans ran on this "strong on national security" theme for years. They've painted President Barack Obama as an ineffective leader who wouldn't know how to defend the United States.

Now it's one year later, and the very same "strong on national security" themed Republicans are upset that President Barack Obama played his card. They can't deny that he carried it out. But they sure don't want to hear anything about it. 

The Republican candidate for president, Mitt Romney was asked about this and yes he invoked President Jimmy Carter. This is what Mitt Romney does. He will say anything to win an election.



Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, the controversial agitators and their take on Osama bin Laden. Yet these two chickenhawks are willing to make the case that torture works. Neither conservative participated in the waterboarding demonstration. Sean Hannity wanted to donated to charity! He hasn't done it yet!



 

 

Conservatives are really upset that President Barack Obama played his "victory" in this 2012 U.S. Presidential Election. A historic event now becomes a political issue. Conservatives rather credit the U.S. Navy Seals for the actions but yet ignore the Commander-and-Chief. 

The Republicans who once said that Barack Obama is naive on foreign policy and the "War on Terrorism" are now crowing about how he is throwing this event in their faces. They argue that if it wasn't for the torture and detainment of members of al-Qaeda, the information to get Osama bin Laden would never happen. If they couldn't get the information from these members through torture what makes them think that it worked?

What took over 10 years, was accomplished. President Barack Obama never ignored the threat of terrorism. It took nearly 2.5 years to find Osama bin Laden. Yes, he deserves all the credit. They can't deny this. President Barack Obama credited those in the CIA, U.S. military and former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton for their efforts. The conservatives continue to ignore that. And they're spinning like tops in the filthy cesspool of ignorance.

He managed to out maneuver the Republicans and they're now upset that he's done it.

How low will these bitter people go?

They played every card in the book. The race card. The fear card. The liberal media lie. The Republicans have been labeled the "Party of No".  

They've been painted as extremists. 

They are so fixated on finding faults with President Barack Obama. They have allies devoted to promoting conspiracies that drive wedges between fellow Americans.

Yet, the cool and calm President Barack Obama continues ignores the chatter of his foes and waits patiently for the next move. The president cautions that his political foes are willing to do anything. His campaign will take nothing for granted.

Let me tell you this! I rather have a cool president in Barack Obama than a boring, bitter, and downright inconsistent politician in Mitt Romney.

And yes, a cool president than a geezer who spouts conspiracy theories in Congressman Ron Paul of Texas.

And for the former presidential contenders in Congresswoman Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, Governor Rick Perry of Texas, Herman Cain, Tim Pawlenty, Jon Huntsman, Newt Gingrich, Gary Johnson, Rick Santorum, and Congressman Thad McCotter of Michigan. 

It wasn't your time, and it's never going to be your time. Let your journey as a presidential candidate be a notch on your belt. You guys weren't ready for the job.

The Race Card: It's Played When The Conservatives Are Losing!

Courtesy of MyRightWingDad, a website devoted to collecting the most extreme right wing emails.

Yeah, it was bound to happen! Republicans and its allies in the conservative movement found a way to make the case for President Barack Obama using the "race card" in regards to the latest incidents that involved racial intolerance.

When was the last time President Barack Obama said something in regards to racial issues?

To a conservative, everyday. To the rest of America, not often! Not at all.

The recent incidents in Chicago in which a young Black man accompanied with a juvenile beaten up and robbed a young White man. The incident in Mobile, Alabama in which a White man threatened a group of Black teenagers. That incident turned violent when the teenagers called their parents, and soon they've beaten the White man nearly to death. The incident in Tulsa, Oklahoma in which a two men, one being a in grief over the loss of his girlfriend and father, went into a neighborhood where Blacks lived and shot them randomly. The incident killed three innocent citizens. And the most famous incident, a young man shooting an unarmed Black teenager. These incidents are simmering up the "long hot summer"!

This is an election year, and Republicans are going to play dirty! They've found their nominee. The nominee and his advisers will waste no time trying to go after President Barack Obama's record for the sluggish economy. The nominee's advisers will use every tactic to distract, deviate and dog-whistle White voters to oppose President Barack Obama.

The Republican nominee will try to paint himself as the "grown up in the room". He will paint his background as a tale of his experiences and try to make the case that President Obama is inexperienced, out of touch, and he's gotta go!

The Republican nominee will waste no time trying to cater to the extremists within in his political party. This happen when John McCain secured his nomination, and picked Sarah Palin as his running mate. 

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney will be the presidential nominee for the Republican Party.

Mitt Romney served one term as governor of the state of Massachusetts. And during his time as governor, he allocated a pretty much moderate record on most issues. As he prepares for the eventual capture of delegates to cling the Republican nomination, he's preparing for a nasty campaign against President Barack Obama.

This will be a dueling challenge to inspire those who turnout in droves to vote for Barack Obama. It's not going to be an easy challenge this time. During the 2010 United States midterm elections, Republicans swept back into the House of Representatives and state/territorial governorships. The Republican goal: undermine the core of Obama's base. They are willing to make this case by attacking President Barack Obama on issues such as his "coolness".

If one can't understand the right's Obama Derangement Syndrome, then you're lost in the transition.

If a person holds views that are bigoted towards race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, political and economic standings, then this person is either criticized as an extremist. This contributes to the reactionary, racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophoic, ignorant, condescending, overreaching, idiotic, pain inducing rants one says online or in the public forum.

Race-baiting is tool used when a conservative is upset over an incident when a Black person is killed by a white person. Race baiting is when a conservative sends a racist email attacking President Barack Obama and his wife First Lady Michelle Obama and the person who sent it was caught. Conservatives blame President Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Attorney General Eric Holder (all prominent Black men) for incidents that they can't control. Or blaming them for seeing justice for incidents that are looked under the radar.

Playing the victim card or the race card is usually a strategy when a conservative's rant goes to the extreme. Thus leading to tragedies in schools, public venues or attempts at harming innocent victims.

And just like every [White and even Black] conservative man! When there's an incident that involves a White person, they're screaming: "See. This is what the liberal media isn't telling you! They talk about Trayvon Martin but void the fact these 'Obama supporters' are violent towards white citizens and Eric Holder isn't concerned about us but his 'brothas'!"

I urge you conservatives to put away your hate, ignorance and stupidity. Cause you may feel comfortable in the presence of a home computer, but you realize that if you want to rile up people with this, try harder! Take it to the streets.

Go to the cities and their neighborhoods you claim are crime ridden Democratic strongholds. Go into these neighborhoods with your tea party rhetoric, Obama Derangement syndrome-themed rants and see if someone will notice!

They'll probably call the police on you! Hopefully [urban dwellers] avoid whooping a conservative's ass for the ranting and raving!

You notice a pattern.


The Republicans know they're not going to secure the Black vote. They are giving up on it. What they're going to is work hard to bring Hispanics/Latinos and mostly White voters to the Republican Party. 


So in order to do that! The Republicans and its allies in the conservative movement want to create controversies in which racial injustice towards White people is unnoticed by the media and in turn it riles up votes.

The strategy works. It's noted as the "Southern Strategy".

 

Meet Your New Neighbors!

Meet Your New Neighbors!

A Georgia family was confronted by two neighbors who carried semi-automatic firearms. The neighbors thought the family was trespassing called the police and had this family arrested.  After a clarification, the neighbors are now under arrest facing serious charges. Guess it's necessary to carry firearms if you're in a neighborhood watch. It's getting worse, and yes it's in the South.

An interracial couple Jean and Angelica Kalonji purchases a home. Their son's realtor urged them to change their locks. As they were attempting to enter the home, the neighbors Robert and his son Branden Canoles stormed the home with firearms drawn.

This story comes from the Inquisitr and WSBTV Atlanta.

A black man and his family were held at gunpoint by their new neighbors while they were trying to change the locks in Newton, GA reported WSBTV.


The Kalonji Family had just closed the purchase on a foreclosed home and were excited to begin the moving process. The realtor advised the family to begin by changing the locks on their new home.

Jean Kalonji was in the process of changing the locks on the front door when their new neighbors mistook the Kalonji’s for thieves breaking into the house and confronted them with guns.

“He say to put the hands up and get out from the house otherwise he would shoot us,” recounted Jean about the incident.


Angelica Kalonji, Jean’s wife stated:

“I get up my hands up, they put me by the wall.”

The neighbors held the Kalonji’s at gunpoint and called the local authorities not believing they were the owners of the house. When authorities arrived they arrested the family who did not have the closing paper work with them at the time, charging them with loitering and prowling.

The realtor, Yvette Harris, said the deputies had no right to arrest the couple, stating:

“They rightfully own this house.”

According to Newton County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Mark Mitchell authorities are investigating why everything that happened.

“We’re kind of on the ground floor to this as far as looking into it exactly what occurred, why it occurred.”

The experience brought back painful memories to Jean who was raised in the Congo.

“There, they put me down with the gun to my head. Here, the same.”

NEWTON COUNTY, Ga. — 

Charges have been dropped against a couple who got tossed in jail after visiting their son's new house, but not before they faced gun-wielding neighbors. Now, the neighbors are the ones behind bars.

Jean and Angelica Kalonji's son closed on a Newton County home Thursday and, on the agent's advice, they went over to change the locks.

Neighbors then showed up with guns drawn.

"(I was) told to put my hands up and to get out, otherwise he shot us,” Jean Kalonji said.

The Kalonjis said they were so glad when Newton County sheriff's deputies arrived to straighten things out, but the deputies took them to jail and charged them with loitering and prowling.

"For me to get out, we had to pay bond," Kalonji said.

Channel 2’s Jeff Dore talked with a spokesman for the Newton County sheriff, who said they have now dropped charges. The father-son pair of neighborhood watchmen in the confrontation turned themselves in to the Sheriff's Office Monday evening. Robert, 45, and Branden Canoles, 18, were charged with false imprisonment, aggravated assault and criminal trespass.

As for the deputies who arrested innocent new residents, they were not on administrative leave at this time.

“They just spontaneously arrested him, arrested his wife, threw them in jail, made no phone calls, made no effort to verify the truthfulness of what they were saying and told the people with the guns in essence, ‘Thank you for your good service,’” Kalonji family attorney Don Samuel said. 

The deputies are facing an internal investigation within the Newton County Sheriff's Department.

"The case is still fluid. We're still investigating the case. And also our Office of Professional Standards, there's an internal investigation as well," Lt. Mark Mitchell of the Newton County Sheriff's Department said.

 

Conservatives: [White Man] Beaten Up! No Rallies For Justice By Obama And His Merry Band Of Race Hustlers!

Matthew Owens was allegedly beaten by a vicious mob, after which someone uttered the words, "Now that's justice for Trayvon." 

I'm not one to judge this incident as a hate crime. I seen the website where this man was featured. There's a charge of domestic violence on this person a year ago. That doesn't matter though! But what matters is those who attack this man should be arrested. What matters is the ongoing conflict that circulates around the Trayvon Martin shooting. What matters is the conservatives trying to crank up fake outrage to an incident.

One could wonder if the gentleman Matt Owens said something offensive provoking an attack!

Right now, the conservatives are riled up about this! They're online foaming at the mouths screaming about how President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder are ignoring this possible "hate crime".

I can see that every conservative word salad will always include: A racial slur. Ways to say a racial slur without it being flagged. Obama-related themes. Mentions of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the SPLC or the NAACP. Trayvon Martin. Firearm rhetoric. Political hot potatoes. MSNBC. CNN. Chants of liberal media.


The Blaze, The Daily Caller, Michelle Malkin, The Drudge Report, Twitchy, and The Gateway Pundit are already circling the wagons with this story.

While a news reporter was getting ready for her report, an angry parent goes towards the cameras. The Black woman demands the reporter tell the truth about this gentleman and acknowledge that he provoked the incident by threatening them with knives and shouting racial slurs at the teenagers. 

 

First things first. We are a polarizing nation. This Trayvon Martin controversy has a major split between race, gender, and political standings. Those who view this case in favor of Trayvon Martin felt this teenager was wrongfully targeted and killed for what was perceived to be a racially profiling incident. Those who view this in favor of Trayvon Martin, feels that systematic incidents in which Blacks are killed by an offender that is non-black are given leniency while those who are Black face harsher penalties for the very crimes committed. Those who view this case in favor of George Zimmerman felt the young man was wrongfully accused by the media for defending himself from a teenager who was roaming the neighborhood without mentioning he lives there. Those who view this in favor of George Zimmerman felt that even though this tragedy could have been avoided, Zimmerman had no choice but to shoot the the teenager because he felt his life was in danger.

Remember the Chris Rock rule: "There's some [Blacks] who push forward. There's some [Blacks] who send us back!"






Today's actions sets us back! In no way, Americans should act like this. No matter what the outcome, we all as Americans must practice peace and restraint. Being violent isn't going to solve problems. It's only going to kill someone and land those who committed the act in prison.


Why on earth would his brother go to a conservative radio show to rant off about an apparent utter of slain teenager "Trayvon Martin" by an assailant?

Just like every [White and even Black] conservative man! When there's an incident that involves a White person, they're screaming: "See. This is what the liberal media isn't telling you! They talk about Trayvon Martin but void the fact these 'Obama supporters' are violent towards white citizens and Eric Holder isn't concerned about us but his 'borthas'!"

Matthew Owens mugshot from 2011.

See it's reasons why they're considered the extremists for their reactionary, racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophoic, ignorant, condescending, overreaching, idiotic, pain inducing rants.

I urge you conservatives to put away your hate, ignorance and stupidity. Cause you may feel comfortable in the presence of a home computer, but you realize that if you want to rile up people with this, try harder! Take it to the streets.

Go to the cities and their neighborhoods you claim are crime ridden Democratic strongholds. Go into these neighborhoods with your tea party rhetoric, Obama Derangement syndrome-themed rants and see if someone will notice!

They'll probably call the police on you! Hopefully [urban dwellers] avoid whooping a conservative's ass for the ranting and raving!

MOBILE, Alabama --
Wednesday 12:45 a.m.Mobile police did not make an arrest before the end of the day as they expected. But police are in the process of serving warrants.

Neighbors say Matthew Owens chased off a group of black kids with kitchen knives after the boys lost a basketball in his sister's yard. He was attacked by as many as 20 people with chairs, pipes and paint cans a short time later.

Based on the accusations forom angry neighbors, News 5 did some digging and learned Owens has a violent track record. The Mobile County Metro Jail log shows police have arrested Owens numerous times over the past 12 years for things like domestic violence, assault and sex abuse. His first arrest was November 4, 1990 for assault. The last time officers transported Owens to jail was last March on a domestic violence charge.

Regardless of what happened Saturday night leading up to the beating, police and most people would agree that it is not an excuse to put Owens in the ICU.

Tuesday 8:35 p.m.Mobile police tell News 5 they still hope to make an arrest in the Matthew Owens case before the end of the night.

Owens was beaten Saturday night in front of his home on Delmar Drive. Witnesses, including Owens sister, say 20 black people attacked Owens with pipes, paint cans and chairs. Owens is still in ICU at USA Medical Center. Weaving in and out of consciousness, Owens told his brother Lloyd, "Don't let me die."

Police continue to downplay the Trayvon Martin connection to the beating. But a neighbor confirms what his sister told News 5. The neighbor, too scared to go on camera, told News 5's Lauren Vargas that they heard one of the suspects say "This is justice for Trayvon" as she drove away.

Tonight, an angry mother who lives on the street told News 5's Blake Brown that the kids who live on Delmar Drive are the real victims.

"Every single day it's a problem with Mr. Owens concerning our kids," Lemica Whisenhunt. "All these kids do is shoot basketball. We keep 'em in the yard. They don't bother anybody.  We'd rather them play basketball than to be around here vandalizing, breaking into people's homes. We try to bring our kids up the right way and show people that all black kids are not bad."

Tuesday 7:30 p.m.Tensions are running high on Delmar Drive.

Before Lauren Vargas' live shot on News 5 at 5:00, a black woman who lives on the street started yelling at Lauren saying the kids are the real victims.

Tuesday 6:00 p.m.
From his hospital bed and weaving in and out of consciousness, Matthew Owens told his brother Lloyd, "Don't let me die."

Lloyd taked to The Schnitt Show about Saturday's attack on Delmar Drive that landed him in the ICU. Click here to listen to that interview.

Earlier today, Todd Schnitt interviewed News 5's Blake Brown.

Tuesday 3:10 p.m.Mayor Sam Jones is urging the public not to jump to conclusions and to wait until the investigation is finished.

“Police will certainly explore a racial motive if the evidence supports it,” said Jones. “This type of mob violence will not be tolerated. If people think we are going to tolerate that to bring attention to some national event, they are sorely mistaken. They will be arrested and prosecuted for assault or whatever the appropriate charge may be," he said.

Tuesday 3:05 p.m.News 5's Lauren Vargas spoke with a neighbor who also heard a member of the mob that beat Matthew Owens say "Now thats justice for Trayvon."

That backs up what Owens' sister, who witnessed the attack from her house across the street, told News 5. Ashey Parker calls it "the scariest thing I have ever witnessed."

Owens' brother, who does not want to be named because he fears for his safety, told News 5 the mob showed up in 3-4 cars full of people.

Tuesday 2:55 p.m.
The Matthew Owens beating case is the focus of The Schnitt Show, a nationally syndicated radio show. Listen live
News 5's Blake Brown was interviewed by Laura Ingraham on her nationally syndicated radio show. Click here to listen to the interview.

Tuesday 12:35 p.m.
Mobile police expect to make arrests in the Matthew Owens beating case today.

Owens is in critical condition at USA Medical Center, three days after police say he was beaten by "multiple people" armed with chairs, pipes and paint cans Saturday night in front of his house on Delmar Drive.

Police are downplaying the Trayvon Martin comment, but the family insists one of the attackers said "Now thats justice for Trayvon" after the attack. Trayvon Martin is the unarmed teenager police say was shot and killed February 26 by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman in Samford, Florida.

Monday 6:55 p.m.
Mobile police need your help to catch a mob that beat Matthew Owens so badly that he's in critical condition.

According to police, Owens fussed at some kids playing basketball in the middle of Delmar Drive about 8:30 Saturday night. They say the kids left and a group of adults returned, armed with everything but the kitchen sink.

Police tell News 5 the suspects used chairs, pipes and paint cans to beat Owens.

Owens' sister, Ashley Parker, saw the attack. "It was the scariest thing I have ever witnessed." Parker says 20 people, all African American, attacked her brother on the front porch of his home, using "brass buckles, paint cans and anything they could get their hands on."

Police will only say "multiple people" are involved.

What Parker says happened next could make the fallout from the brutal beating even worse. As the attackers walked away, leaving Owen bleeding on the ground, Parker says one of them said "Now thats justice for Trayvon." Trayvon Martin is the unarmed teenager police say was shot and killed February 26 by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman in Samford, Florida.

George Zimmerman Makes Bail.

George Zimmerman was released from jail overnight.

On Sunday, the Seminole County Florida Jail seen its high profile inmate make the 10% of his $150,000 bail.

George Zimmerman is the young man who was charged with second degree murder of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teenager who was killed in an apparent confrontation inside a gated housing complex. This shooting sparked a national outrage that spans past political and racial lines.

The United States media and those following this controversy have mixed feelings about the situation.

Somehow this tragedy has sparked the notion of racial profiling in the Black and Hispanic/Latino communities.

On Friday, in a bulletproof vest, the clean shaven George Zimmerman was well dressed in a professional attire awaiting his bond hearing with Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton, the parents in the courtroom. As the judge was cross-examining George Zimmerman took the time to apologize to the family of Trayvon Martin.

During the hearing, new attorney Mark O'Mara, family members and even Zimmerman's wife were at best trying to plead to the judge that if bonded out of jail, the young man would be compliant with his home detention and at best stay out of trouble until the next court hearing.

The judge agreed on the merits of Zimmerman's defense. He granted bond at $150,000. Once released the shooter has to get electronic monitoring, forfeit his U.S. passport and provide his own personal security at his expenses.

The Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump, felt the bond wasn't appropriate for this type of crime. Crump expressed disappointment and questioned the decision for Zimmerman to apologize for the shooting.

This case has pretty much ruined George Zimmerman and made him just as controversial as one young woman who acquitted of murder in the death of her two year old daughter.

Florida has become the haven for controversial figures who managed to attract media attention for a crime or an event that garners controversy.

Casey Anthony, Lionel Tate, Debra LaFave, Mark Foley, Terri Schivo and Andrew Cunanan were in the some of the most controversial stories that involved the media.

Now that Zimmerman is a freed man, could he be hiding in a part of Ohio?

U.S. Army: Ted Nugent, No Concert For You!

The 1970s rock star and gun right advocate is once again embroiled in a controversy.

This time it earns hims a visit from the Secret Service. The rocker Ted Nugent went to the National Rifle Association annual convention in St. Louis and made a veil threat at President Barack Obama.

This isn't the first time, Nugent made comments toward President Barack Obama.

In 2008, then U.S. presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were subjected to a profanity laced rant by the rock star in which he told Hillary Clinton to ".... his machine gun!"

The most recent statement from the rocker is a declaration that "[He] will either be 'dead or in jail’ if Obama us re-elected!"

Ted Nugent reluctantly endorsed Mitt Romney after the collapse of Republican candidates Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul.

After the controversies with Rush Limbaugh, Hank Williams, Jr., Glenn Beck, and Dr. Laura Schlesinger  many conservatives are trying to find rage with those who have liberal/progressive views.

The controversial libertarian comedian Bill Maher who's notorious for his no nonsense stance on issues, became the lightening rod for conservative outrage.

Sean Hannity in particular is obsessed with Bill Maher's measly $1 million donation to President Barack Obama's "Super Pac".

While Hannity's good friend Ted Nugent is popping off his firearms and his big mouth attacking President Barack Obama, the conservatives tend to defend the controversial statements.

Glenn Beck in particular has called his good ole' buddy Ted a "patriot" for his stances.

This marks the latest controversial statements from conservative entertainers.

Earlier this year, Patricia Heaton, best known for her role as Frankie Heck on The Middle and her role as Debra Barone in Everyone Loves Raymond made a controversial tweet about Sandra Fluke, a birth control advocate who was subjected to a partisan attack from Rush Limbaugh.She later deleted the comment and partially ended her Twitter usage. Heaton later apologized for her comments. The controversy lead to Rush Limbaugh losing over 100 radio advertising sponsors.

Hank Williams, Jr. was apparently drunk on the Fox & Friends program and he made an outrageous statement calling President Barack Obama, "Hitler" and saying Vice President Joe Biden and Governor John Kasich of Ohio along with the president are the "Three Stooges". He was later dropped from ESPN as the opening music act and spokesperson.

It was determined that Secret Service found Ted Nugent's comments weren't threatening towards President Barack Obama. But they're aware of his past statements.

Nugent never apologized for his comments, although he walked back his most harshest criticism of the president.

The aftermath has led to Nugent being pulled as act for the U.S. Army event at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

Nugent also facing a citation for shooting a black bear he illegally killed in southeastern Alaska during a hunting trip.

Ted Nugent appeared on White nationalist radio program The Political Cesspool with Stormfront host/contributor James Edwards in 2009.

The Political Cesspool Radio show is a conservative program that sponsors White supremacists and extremists. It's a part of Stormfront, a white nationalist online community.

Bond Hearing For George Zimmerman

Could this be the injuries of George Zimmerman? Zimmerman faces murder charges in the shooting of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin.

The pictures of the injuries on George Zimmerman show that a confrontation did happen and the back of his head was injured.

There's a bond hearing today for the shooter. If found guilty of second degree murder, Zimmerman would face 25 years to life.

The parents of Trayvon Martin will be in attendance of the bond hearing.

ABC News obtained an iPhone photograph from an eyewitness. In an apparent leak to the media, supporters of Zimmerman continue to argue the defense that Martin was the one who engaged in the fight.

Now since this was mentioned by the notorious conservative website, The Drudge Report, I will spare you the vile comments and establish what was said after viewing the pictures.

When the conservative comments come down expect: Racial slurs, Obama, liberal media, guns over human life, you communist, Marxist, white power, Eric Holder, Black Panthers, Fox News, and Viagara.
