		<description>WHITE GUILT IS DEAD 

 

By Tom Adkins

 

Look at my fellow conservatives! There they go, glumly shuffling along, depressed by the election aftermath. Not me. I’m virtually euphoric. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not thrilled with America ’s flirtation with neo socialism. But there’s a massive silver lining in those magical clouds that lofted Barak Obama to the Presidency. For today, without a shred of intellectually legitimate opposition, I can loudly proclaim to America : The Era of White Guilt is over. 

 

This seemingly impossible event occurred because the vast majority of white Americans didn’t give a fluff about skin color, and enthusiastically pulled the voting lever for a black man. Not just any black man. A very liberal black man who spent his early career race-hustling banks, praying in a racist church for 20 years, and actively worked with America-hating domestic terrorists. Wow! Some resume! Yet they made Barak Obama their leader. Therefore, as of Nov 4th, 2008, white guilt is dead. 

 

For over a century, the millstone of white guilt hung around our necks, retribution for slave-owning predecessors. In the 60s, American liberals began yanking that millstone while sticking a fork in the eye of black Americans, exacerbating the racial divide to extort a socialist solution. But if a black man can become President, exactly what significant barrier is left? The election of Barak Obama absolutely destroys the entire validation of liberal white guilt. The dragon is hereby slain. 

 

So today, I’m feeling a little “uppity,” if you will. From this day forward, my tolerance level for having my skin color hustled is now exactly ZERO. And it’s time to clean house. No more Reverend Wright’s “God Damn America ,” Al Sharpton’s Church of Perpetual Victimization , or Jesse Jackson’s rainbow racism.. Cornell West? You’re a fraud. Go home. All those “black studies” programs that taught kids to hate whitey? You must now thank Whitey. And I want that on the final. 

 

Congressional Black Caucus? Irrelevant. Maxine Waters? Shut up. ACORN? Outlawed. Black Panthers? Go home and pet your kitty. Black separatists? Find another nation that offers better dreams. Go ahead. I’m waiting.

 

Gangsta rappers? Start praising America . Begin with the Pledge of Allegiance. And please…no more ebonics. Speak English, and who knows where you might end up? Oh, yeah…pull up your pants. Your underwear is showing. You look stupid.

 

To those Eurosnots who forged entire careers hating America ? I’m still waiting for the first black French President.

 

And let me offer an equal opportunity whupping. I’ve always despised lazy white people. Now, I can talk smack about lazy black people. You’re poor because you quit school, did drugs, had three kids with three different fathers, and refuse to work. So when you plop your Colt 45-swilling, Oprah watchin’ butt on the couch and complain “Da Man is keepin’ me down,” allow me to inform you: Da Man is now black. You have no excuses. 

 

No more quotas. No more handouts. No more stealing my money because someone’s great-great-great-great grandparents suffered actual pain and misery at the hands of people I have no relation to, and personally revile. 

 

It’s time to toss that massive, obsolete race-hustle machine upon the heap of the other stupid 60s ideas. Drag it over there, by wife swapping, next to dope-smoking. Plenty of room right between free love and cop-killing. Careful…don’t trip on streaking. There ya go, don’t be gentle. Just dump it. Wash your hands. It’s filthy. 

 

In fact, Obama’s ascension created a gargantuan irony. How can you sell class envy and American unfairness when you and your black wife went to Ivy League schools, got high-paying jobs, became millionaires, bought a mansion, and got elected President? How unfair is that??? Now, Like a delicious O&#039;Henry tale, Obama’s spread-the-wealth campaign rendered itself moot by it&#039;s own victory!  America is officially a meritocracy. Obama’s election has validated American conservatism! 

 

So, listen carefully…Wham!!!

That’s the sound of my foot kicking the door shut on the era of white guilt. The rites have been muttered, the carcass lowered, dirt shoveled, and tombstone erected. White guilt is dead and buried. 

 

However, despite my glee, there’s apparently one small, rabid bastion of American racism remaining. Black Americans voted 96% for Barak Obama. Hmmm. In a color-blind world, shouldn’t that be 50-50? Tonight, every black person should ask forgiveness for their apparent racism and prejudice towards white people. Maybe it’s time to start spreading the guilt around.</description>

		<description>And this is only what we have been able to learn!  Can you imagine the things they have successfully covered up?  Can you imagine how much the media is aware of but refuses to report it?  Pelosi&#039;s ethical congress is expert at being totally unethical because of the unprecedented free pass they are getting from the msm. She knows it, and she also knows she has a job to do before the rest of the country catches on.</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;Boxer Aide Arrested for Distributing Child Porn, Media Mostly Mum&lt;/B&gt; 

By Noel Sheppard 
Created 2008-11-14 10:11

A high-level adviser for Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Cali) was charged Wednesday with receiving and distributing child pornography.

UPDATE AT END OF POST: this is the second person with ties to Boxer arrested in the past year on similar charges.  

Although Jeff Rosato was arrested and fired last Friday, this story has garnered very little attention from the mainstream press.

Do you think the media would have been equally disinterested if he worked for a Republican?

While you ponder, here are the details reported [1] by the Associated Press Thursday: 
A high-level aide to California Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer has been charged in federal court with receiving and distributing child pornography.

The aide, Jeff Rosato, 32, was arrested last Friday. Boxer&#039;s office fired him that same day upon learning of the charges. [...]

&quot;On Friday, the Justice Department informed our office of criminal charges made against a Senate employee. Sen. Boxer has zero tolerance for crimes against children, and the employee was immediately terminated,&quot; Boxer spokeswoman Natalie Ravitz said in a statement Thursday. &quot;Our office is cooperating fully with the Department of Justice in this matter.&quot;

Rosato had worked for Boxer since early 2005, beginning in her personal office as a legislative assistant and last year becoming a counsel to the Environment and Public Works Committee, which Boxer chairs. His areas of expertise included water policy, oceans and endangered species. [...]

According to an affidavit by FBI special agent Chad Gallagher supporting the criminal complaint and arrest warrant, Rosato was tracked through a now-defunct Google program called Google Hello. He allegedly exchanged hundreds of pornographic images with another user who&#039;d been sharing child porn images and movies with an undercover detective posing as a 13-year-old boy. [...]

A preliminary review of Rosato&#039;s personal laptop computer, which was in his bedroom, found some 200 child porn images and some videos, according to the affidavit. &quot;Many of the images and videos depict prepubescent boys engaged in sexual acts,&quot; the affidavit stated.

Disgusting and disgraceful to say the least. Yet, for the most part, this story has been ignored or buried.
From what I can tell via a LexisNexis search, only Fox News has reported this matter on television; I found no coverage by any of the broadcast networks, CNN, or MSNBC.

Think that would have been the case if the senator in question was a Republican?

As for print, it appears despite the AP&#039;s coverage, of the major newspapers, only the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post felt this story newsworthy, although neither gave it much space. 
Most curious, Boxer&#039;s hometown paper the San Francisco Chronicle (she lives in Marin County just across the Golden Gate Bridge) felt this matter wasn&#039;t important enough to share with her most proximate constituents.

Liberal media bias? What liberal media bias? 

*****Update: This is the second Boxer aide to be caught with child pornography in less than a year. As my colleague Richard Newcomb reported [1] in May: 
Famed left-wing radio personality Bernie Ward of San Francisco, a former priest who had one of the loudest and most consistently anti-George W. Bush voices in the entire nation, was found guilty of possessing and distributing child pornography [2] on Friday and will serve at least five years in prison.  

As the San Francisco Chronicle reported [3] at the time of Ward&#039;s arrest, he used to work for Boxer (h/t NBer d4man [3]):
From 1982 to 1985 he worked for then-Rep. Barbara Boxer as her chief legislative assistant.

So, this is the second incident in twelve months of a Boxer aide being involved with child pornography. 

Yet, for the most part, we hear crickets from the press.

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Gee . . . first we have &quot;Cold Cash&quot; Jefferson then we have &quot;Real Estate&quot; Wrangle then we have &quot;Family Values&quot; Mahoney and now this! Gives a whole new meaning to &quot;No Child Left Behind&quot;. 

But I thought Nancy “San Fran Nanny” Pelosi promised the most ethical Congress in history? 

Commiecrats lying to the American People . . . well knock me over with a feather!</description>

		<description>From the Associated Press:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;FEMA Trailers Sold as ‘Scrap’&lt;/b&gt;

Published: November 14, 2008

The government is selling travel trailers that were banned from use as emergency housing in disasters because many had toxic levels of formaldehyde. The units are being sold through the General Services Administration as “scrap.” The Federal Emergency Management Agency bought the trailers during the 2005 hurricane season. As of Oct. 27, FEMA had identified 10,000 units that could be designated as scrap and sold under federal law. The units are not intended as housing, a FEMA spokeswoman said, but could be used as office space or for storage. 

http://tinyurl.com/5a4jzr&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Funny how this article neglects to mention how much these trailers cost. Or how much the taxpayers are losing on sending 10,000 trailers to the scrap heap.

Why is that?

And why wouldn&#039;t we want the Federal Government to be in charge of everything?</description>

<p>Published: November 14, 2008</p>
<p>The government is selling travel trailers that were banned from use as emergency housing in disasters because many had toxic levels of formaldehyde. The units are being sold through the General Services Administration as “scrap.” The Federal Emergency Management Agency bought the trailers during the 2005 hurricane season. As of Oct. 27, FEMA had identified 10,000 units that could be designated as scrap and sold under federal law. The units are not intended as housing, a FEMA spokeswoman said, but could be used as office space or for storage. </p>

<p>Funny how this article neglects to mention how much these trailers cost. Or how much the taxpayers are losing on sending 10,000 trailers to the scrap heap.</p>
<p>Why is that?</p>
<p>And why wouldn&#8217;t we want the Federal Government to be in charge of everything?</p>

		<description>I don&#039;t know wheather to vomit or laugh:

&lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;b&gt; Barack Obama the epoch-changer &lt;/b&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Never has there been an American President who revealed so much of himself prior to taking to office, or launched upon such a public quest for personal discovery. &lt;/b&gt;

By his mid-forties, President-elect Obama had authored two memoirs of his scattered life, both of which became global best-sellers. His search for identity has been instrumental in his upward journey towards power. 

Yet for all his &quot;age of Oprah&quot; candour, and for all the 400-plus pages of his beguiling autobiography, Dreams from My Father, to many he remains a frustratingly elusive and enigmatic figure. 

&lt;b&gt;Who precisely is Barack Hussein Obama&lt;/b&gt;, a politician who defies neat encapsulation?

.......Aged 10, Barack was sent back to Hawaii to complete his education - in Indonesia, he had spent two years at a Catholic school and&lt;b&gt; two years at a Muslim school&lt;/b&gt; - while his mother remained in Jakarta. 

.......In the city&#039;s demoralised South Side, he worked on job training programmes and local housing projects. His grass roots campaigns soon brought him into contact with the &lt;b&gt;Reverend Jeremiah Wright, an exuberant local preacher. 

The first time that Barack Obama listened to one of the preacher&#039;s sermons, he broke down and wept. It was entitled The Audacity of Hope,&lt;/b&gt; which became the title of Barack Obama&#039;s breakthrough speech at the Democratic Convention in 2004, and the book which launched his presidential campaign

......In 1992, he ran a voter registration campaign which helped the black candidate, Carol Moseley Braun, win election as a US Senator for Illinois (thus becoming the first African-American woman to claim a seat in the Senate). 

.....&lt;b&gt;Back then, of course, Jeremiah Wright was the most useful of political allies. So, too, was Tony Rezko, a Chicago-based political fund-raiser convicted this year of fraud and bribery.&lt;/b&gt; So perhaps it is no coincidence that his years as a Chicago politician get the least attention in his memoirs, for they reveal less attractive sides of his political personality: hard-nosed calculation combined with eager ambition. 

Sure enough, Washington DC soon became the target of his ambitions. In 2000, after just four years in the Illinois State Senate, he tried to win the Democratic primary in one of Chicago&#039;s US congressional seats.&lt;b&gt; But he was defeated by the former Black Panther, Bobby Rush, another popular incumbent. &lt;/b&gt;

...Who is Barack Obama? For many of his admiring supporters, he is the very idea of modern-day America. 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/us_elections_2008/7722951.stm &lt;/blockquote&gt;

It is amazing how the liberal media can use his middle name, and I thought he didn&#039;t attend a &quot;Muslim school&quot;.  And not to worry, Wright is simply exuberant.  Not to mention the blatant omissions we have all come to know.  So lets see, we should be so happy to have a religious educated, Harvard legacy, with radical friends, with no political experience other then being a community organizer and leading a voter fraud campaign, senator who could only get elected in a district that formerly voted for a Black Panther, who beat Obama the first go round, as our ideal modern-day American President.  Congratulations, we have the first affirmative action president!</description>

		<description>Maybe its time to bring back the freedom fries:

&lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;b&gt; Sarkozy: US missile shield won&#039;t help security &lt;/b&gt;

NICE, France — French President Nicolas Sarkozy undercut the American rationale for a U.S. missile shield in Eastern Europe on Friday by saying that the system would do nothing to improve European security.

Sarkozy&#039;s comments were the strongest to date by an American ally against the missile-defense plans, which have infuriated Russia despite the Bush administration&#039;s insistence that they are aimed at protecting Europe from Iran.

&quot;Deployment of a missile defense system would bring nothing to security in Europe ... it would complicate things, and would make them move backward,&quot; Sarkozy said after a summit with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.&lt;b&gt; Medvedev smiled and pointed his finger at Sarkozy in approval after the comments from the French president.&lt;/b&gt;

...&lt;b&gt;The governments of Poland and the Czech Republic said Friday they hope the new president will go ahead with the missile defense plans.

Medvedev argued against any such &quot;unilateral&quot; moves.&lt;/b&gt;

......&lt;b&gt;Sarkozy, temporarily in charge of the 27-nation EU, insisted that the resumption wasn&#039;t &quot;a sign of weakness.&quot;&lt;/b&gt;

He and Medvedev remained divided, though, over the continuing presence of Russian troops.

Medvedev insisted that a cease-fire deal brokered by Sarkozy has been &quot;fully fulfilled,&quot; while Sarkozy insisted that work remains to be done.

&lt;b&gt;The European Union is Russia&#039;s No. 1 customer and No. 1 investor. With the world financial crisis shaking markets in Europe and beyond, officials of the 27-nation EU say reaching out to Moscow is crucial to ensuring stability and to keeping Russia from shutting off its economy to outsiders.&lt;/b&gt;

Medvedev pointed on Friday to the lucrative trade between the EU and Russia, worth hundreds of billions of euros annually

http://www.wral.com/news/national_world/world/story/3958748/ &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Where to begin:

1. France is clearly showing even the right leaning members of its government are pro-socialist.
2. Yet their right-wingedness helps keep their eye on the ball, &quot;trade between the EU and Russia, worth hundreds of billions of euros annually&quot;
3. Not showing weakness, however, they are determined to ignore right and wrong for their own benefit
4. Obliviously Russia has learned the definition of unilateral from the American MSM.  Seems at least three countries are interested in the missile shield.
5. Expect this kind of pandering from the newly minted Obamanation.</description>

In other words - a traitor.</description>

		<description>What irony, SG.

It&#039;s impossible to make this stuff up.  Still, I wonder who was/is responsible for the choice of THAT codename, and, depending on who is responsible, will somebody&#039;s head roll?</description>
