JOHN McCAIN , TOO SLICK, TOO DISINGENUOUS TO BE PRESIDENT

John McCain, is forever popping up offering unwanted, unneeded, unsolicited advice. He has a great deal of difficulty remembering he is not president. And, hopefully, the chances will prove 99% to 100% correct that he never will.

Any American who becomes a part of George Soros' destroy America campaign, even to a minute extent, is not fit to serve as a member of the United States Congress. Was Soros involved in McCain's " Campaign Finance Reform debacle, that opened the door to 527 excessive political campaign finance/hate corruption ? There are some Soros puppets already in Congress! However, they need to be revealed and removed from Congress.

John McCain is a R.I.N.O with a real penchant, a pre-disposition to support liberal PC agendas. He is always on board, lending support to anything Teddy Kennedy or John Kerry proposes. By that, you know he does not, will not, serve the interest of America or non-brainwashed Americans. America is the land of opportunity and abundance for any and all who dream, and are willing to work to make their dream come true. Americans ' via ' the government stands ready, more than willing to offer a helping hand to all who need it - rightfully the needy should only be the very young or the very old and in some few instances, disabled. Disabled should not be used to define those who willfully destroy their brains and bodies through the abuse of dangerous, illegal drugs or who have become debilitated by sexually transmitted diseases because they refuse to alter their behavior or change lifestyles.

The PC, and John McCain is a PC R.I.N.O, regardless of whatever mask he chooses to wear at a given moment, need these parasitic groups. These Congressmen abuse their power and positions in government to pass regulations and legislation ( laws ) to ultimately take from those who study , work , sacrifice and persevere to avail themselves of the opportunities that America offers all her citizens, only to find themselves almost taxed out of existence - in to poverty - so that corrupt politicians can play santa claus to those who live on welfare and are useful, mostly at election time.

America does not need anymore politicians who, following the most apt definition of insanity - doing the same thing, in the same way, over and over but expecting a different result. Socialism and Communism do not work, have never worked, successfully, yet, Americans feeding at the trough of American capitalism - which does work- continue to believe that if only they could replace American capitalism with socialism / communism it would be successful. Therefore, some individuals with a work ethic could work, have the government confiscate their earnings through excessive taxation, to dole out to those who will not work, too bored to study and prepare themselves for the future their civilization offers, and have an ingrained sense of entitlement. This is the vision that John McCain, Teddy Kennedy, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry have for America. This will not happen ! Americans can be good to a fault, but they eventually reach ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !!! When that happens, change occurs.

John McCain is too slick, too disingenuous to ever be America's president. He needs to stop believing the PC media's mush regarding him and his chances !

BE WARY OF LIBERAL MEDIA- MADE IDOLS

The liberal, politically correct Democrats and their cohort media has anointed Obama Hussein Baraka as their flavor of the month. Like a gilded, painted gelding on a carousel, he's circling the political arena on behalf of the PC. Adorned, smile, frozen in place, back arched with pride, enjoying the ride while it lasts. There is an old saying, " he who giveth can also taketh away ". Be warned Baraka, one false step or word, the media that created you and the buzz surrounding you, will tear you to shreds, and enjoy every moment of your agonizing demise.

There was a time when the politically correct sought out the welfare mom - big, black, angry with five or more children, preferably with different fathers. Five or more offspring with different fathers used to be called litters and the mom was a bitch. Of course if you are PC, to feel superior, you need others to feel and be viewed as inferior. During this era, a conservative black was believed nonexistent.

In 2000, the US Census reported that Hispanics were going to replace Americans of African Ancestry as America's largest minority group. The Democratic Party began to TRY to put some distance between the party and its most loyal, most reliable constituency - its black voters. According to some reports in the 2004, elections, the DNC budgeted $57, 000,000.00 for the get out the Hispanic vote, and not a dime for the get out the black vote - considered a sure thing, loyalty to be taken for granted. Donna Brazile ( black operative from Louisiana, Al Gore's campaign manager ) complained that the Democrats were guilty of " drive-by campaigning " in black neighborhoods. However, when Mary Landrieu was in danger of losing her re-election bid, Donna Brazile was summoned, and before one could say " huh ? " she was out on the hustlings herding that needed black vote to the booth. Another journalist writing in the Jewish Weekly Review, coined the term AVM ( automatic voting machines ) to define the way the Democratic Party viewed and treated the black vote - its largest and most dependable voting constituents.

Thanks to cable and the internet, the image of the American of African Ancestry changed - in other words was revealed. Americans of African Ancestry are not monolithic. They do not all live on welfare. Most are well-educated, even wealthy. They are good parents, developing character and the work ethic in their children. Thus, the image of the black American, the Democratic Party had traditionally shown had to change. With educated, moral blacks with money occupying places of prominence in every sphere of American life and making positive contributions to society, guesting on and hosting conservative talk shows and writing books and for blogs, Democrats found themselves scrambling to find a liberal, manageable black - emotionally needy, financially greedy, but, articulate and photogenic. In walks Obama Hussein Baraka - thank the Lord ! One might say, Baraka was straight out of central casting. He's the PC black flavor of the month- a liberal, media created idol for black PC intellectual and their handlers to fawn over and feel blessed to have such an opportunity.

Democrats will need that 99% certain vote in 2008. That's all they will have going for them. The R.I.N.O will -hopefully- have been dispensed with and true conservatives will be campaigning. If true conservatives - those willing to confront the ACLU, Soros' Shadow Government, activist judiciary and all the politically correct nonsense that goes with that evil. A true conservative will withdraw public funding from any and all public institutions that refuse the pledge of allegiance, salute to the flag, recognition of America's christian roots, disbar lawyers who use the constitution to undermine and destroy America.

NARROWING THE CHASM

From the beginning of slavery in America, there has been a chasm constantly widening among descendants of America's first slaves. Slavery existed since the beginning of time and mankind's existence on earth. Man as a nomad, wandering the earth probably fought for food and space. As man became more civilized, his victims were not always killed, but rather taken as trophies and curiosity pieces. However, when slavery became profitable and the enslaved became a commodity, the humanity - if there ever was such an oxymora - was lost.

The Portuguese, first to penetrate the interior of Africa, took Africans back to Portugal as objects of curiosity and proof of a new continent. These first Africans were welcomed as new members of the family. The Portuguese learned skills and language from captured Africans.

Then, with Mansa Musa's pilgrimage to Europe, dripping with diamonds and carrying his weight in gold, riding in his elephant caravan, Africa became known. Cartographers got busy drawing maps, charting distances and routes to this place that afforded such an abundance of rich resources.

As the saying goes, " the rest is history " . When slavery became a dominant part of the African economy, African kings and tribal chiefs began to wage war, capturing their rivals for sale or barter. Their minds probably were incapable of imagining the horror this bondage - for kegs of rum or a few trinkets - would unleash. Various tribes, ancient enemies since time immoral were first chained together in the hold of rickety ships bound for America, across the Atlantic. Then, bound together as sub-humans always in subservient status on southern plantations. Thus, the chasm among Americans of African Ancestry widened, but, now, need to narrow, long overdue. Ancient hatreds do not dissipate easily or readily. Add miscegenation to this already volatile situation. The offspring of the white slave master father and the African slave mother produced further discrimination, based on skin color, hair texture and the concept of beauty - closer to ' European beauty model ' . Now, in addition to age old hatreds, add designation of either ' house slave ( preferential treatment, better food, a chance for some level of education ) or field slave ( less to eat, suffered more brutal treatment ), a caste system within the slave system. This differential treatment made inherent tribal differences more profound and lasting.

This favorable treatment widened the chasm and served to develop controllable black leaders aka today as plantation gatekeepers, civil rights establishment and poverty pimps. This group still exhibit an almost desperate need to be loved and accepted by white society. In this mode group unity and cohesion was not only not possible but actively discouraged. However, this provided white society a controlling degree of influence - to some degree, still visible today, especially among the politically correct Democrats. Under these conditions survival was desperately strived for, knowing the only sure thing was ' death ' ! This scar, of all the scars of slavery is the deepest, most detrimental and has the greatest need for its elimination and termination.

Booker T. Washington, prophetically, foresaw the Civil Rights Establishment and warned :
There is a class of colored people who make
a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs
and the hardships of the Negro race before the
public. Having learned that they are able to make
a living out of their troubles, they have grown into
the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -
partly because they want sympathy and partly
because it pays. Some of these people do not
want the Negro to lose his grievances, because
they do not want to lose their jobs. ( Up From Slavery )

Today, one observes that it is the less fortunate of Americans of African Ancestry who suffer. There is a parallel between the Palestinians who suffered in tents under Arafat ( and still do ) fed a steady diet of hatred and desire to kill, while Arafat, lived a rather good life - there is talk that he had billions salted away, still not accounted for. Towards the end of his life, he had his wife and child living in a $10,000.00 a day suite in Paris ( if one can believe what one reads)
security ensured by armed body guards, riding in chauffeur-driven bullet-proof limousines. Contrast that scenario with less fortunate Americans of African Ancestry who follow the gatekeepers, who preach hatred, maintain constant chaos and conflict, never allow the wounds of slavery to heal. Lay the facts side by side and without identification, they are indistinguishable. The poorly skilled, uneducated minority members of society are fed a steady diet of " hate whitey " Whitey is trying to keep you from progressing... blah, blah, blah. The chasm widens as the more able members of the community, turn their backs, refusing to get involved, never willing to expend the time and energy to make a difference, leaving the gatekeepers and poverty pimps to prosper. It's time to narrow the chasm. Reclaim lost youth, rebuild communities, demand politicians work for your vote. Its time to lose the emotional attachment based on common skin color - which is probably all you have with incumbents who have become addicted to the perks of power and consider their constituents to weak and / or foolish to vote them out of office. The power is yours. All you need is to make the decision to take it back.

PC DEMOCRATS ROLE IN IRAQ'S TURMOIL

Isn't it about time the unvarnished truth be spoken, out loud. The PC Democrats ( and R.I.N.O.) have a lion's share of the chaos and surging insurgency in Iraq. Why the pretense ? Where is the honesty ? Anti-America Congresspersons sit on powerful committees, where they are privy to top secret national security information, which they promptly leak and the New York Times, et, al, publish without fear of reprisal. This is a 'tacit' announcement to our enemies - " just be patient, we are on your side and will keep you apprised of the government's plans to safeguard the homeland " . No one has been charged with treason ! The New York Times virtually dares the government to bring them up on charges. It's past time to call their bluff !

After a five-year steady drumbeat of hateful vitriol against President George Bush and by extension of America, the irrational, illogical, unrealistic, non-reasoning rationalizing PC Democrats ( and some R.I.N.O. ), no one seems to want to place the blame for the surge of insurgency in Iraq, where it rightfully belongs - on the PC Democrats, liberal media and treasonous members of congress and other governmental employees.

If records can be believed, PC Democrats - Presidents, Congress and various state government officials have been busy over a long, long period of time, selling out the people and security of America ( for 30 pieces of silver in their re-election campaign coffers ) :

PC Democrats selective amnesia record :

a) Keeps running total of number of American military
killed, after three years in Iraq, forgetting that between
8:47 am and 9:17 am, on 9/11/01, almost 3,000 Americans
died in the Towers of the World Trade Center as a result of the
same terrorists who tried to destroy the WTC in 1993, six killed,
1,000 injured.

18 soldiers killed in Somalia and 2 dragged through
the streets of Mogadishu. Clinton cut and ran.

b) Carter double - crossed the Shah of Iran in 1979. Shah, deposed
by Islamic fanatics, who later stormed the US embassy,
taking hostages they held until ( their friend )Carter left office.

c) Clinton signed waivers P.L. 101 - 246 allowing U.S.
satellites to launch China rockets ( they know most of US secrets )

Clinton allowed Loral to assist China on improving their faulty
rockets/ missiles/guidance systems enabling Chinese
ICBMs to strike American cities.

d) Terrorists Bomb without meaningful Response :
1. Marine Barracks in Lebanon - Democrats cut and ran.
2. Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia
3. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, Africa
4. Marine barracks blown up in Beirut, Democrats demand
troop removal. Another cut and run
5. USS COLE bombed in Aden, Yemen, 17 American sailors killed.

Providing a haven for terrorists cells in America
a) Jimmy Carter and the Cuban insane / criminals- Milleta Boat-lift
b) Allowing terrorists to get in to help 1996 elections ( Bill Clinton)
c) Bilingual education that balkanized America
d) Extension of social security benefits / social services to illegals
e) Clinton waives anti-terrorism Act 87, PLO opens offices, DC
f) Clinton's ambassador Richardson requests NATO cease
offensive against Taliban and Al Qaida, giving terrorists
military advantage in Afghanistan.

Carter's gift of the Panama Canal to the Panamanians who
promptly sold it to the Chinese, giving them a toehold in a -once-
important shipping lane.

North Korea's Nuclear bomb ( Thank, Jimmy Carter / Bill Clinton )

Jimmy Carter and other anti-America home grown terrorists
flaunt their love affair with the vermin who hate and seek to destroy
America - Cuba's Fidel Castro and Venezuela's Hugo Chavez.

Dedication to the United Nations in the face of its hatred for
America; its corruption, incompetence, defense of terrorists
* Refused confirmation to John Bolton to United Nations. Why ?
He loves America, seeks to protect America's interests !

Anti-America, home grown democratic terrorists
taunt President Bush with " inability to find Ben Laden " carefully
forgetting in 1996, Sudan attempted to release Ben Laden to
Clinton prior to expelling him. Clinton refused to take him.
Ben Laden returned to Afghanistan. And, as the saying goes,
" the rest is history " .

The New York Times, mouthpiece and major Al Qaeda American
cell, constantly trolls for American Security secrets to reveal to the
enemy in the hopes of destroying America, using the transparent
guise of Americans' right to know. Few buy into that lie. Truth ?
Hatred, pure and simple !

If, all the above attempts at destruction of America,( there are many others ) did not crystalize on September 11, 2001- nothing ever will. The red flags were flying, but, it seems a conscious decision to ignore them was made. Pundits, politicians and other interested parties seem determined to ignore the role the PC Democrats have played in the turmoil in Iraq. They have encouraged the terrorists and competing insurgents to just fight on, be patient ! Their friends the anti-America PC Democrats will make them victorious.

Finally, an American, in the person of George W. Bush, a man of faith, character, courage of his convictions, personal integrity was elected ! And, lo and behold, he actually ' kept his word ' ! He took an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution, protect the American people and help American minorities participate and share America's abundant opportunities. George Bush, the President, brought back a sense of honor, decency and dignity to the White House and to elected office of President. President Bush is an honest man. He is more leader than politician. He is a man comfortable in his own skin, therefore does not rely on phony polls to tell him who he is. He does not make decisions based on the next election, but on what is best for America, and the American people and what he believes is right. He has been hated - with a fervent passion - for his self-confidence, self-assuredness, self-discipline, self-respect - an individual tends to extend respect to others in direct proportion to the self- respect held.

The PC Democrats could not defeat him, so they had to use subterfuge - seek out democrats who talked like Republicans ( Blue Dog Democrats / R.I.N.O. ) to get elected 11/7/06. Now, they will seek away to get around the ' meaningless promises made " without revealing their devious intent. After all, the 2008, elections are looming and they will have to bide their time carefully. However, the PC DEMS don't have it in them. They will trip over their own hatred for America, and the values it holds dear and give in to their treasonous proclivities.

STEPPING OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE
Today, the family is asunder( separate parts / pieces ). Parents abuse , abandon and/or kill their children. Children prey upon the elderly, once revered. Sex has become entertainment. Reproduction is a bragging right. Education is scoffed at. Work is a joke. The future cannot be imagined. Others decide what mores' your community will follow, what philosophy is acceptable, who will be your children's role models. Aspirations suffocate. And, life goes on, generation after generation.

What's wrong with this picture ? Listen ! Hear that nagging voice, deep in the recesses of our conscious mind - step out of your comfort zone. A blinking light - barely perceptible - intrudes upon deliberate attempts to ignore the voice - call it instinct, common sense, horse sense or the guiding light the maker placed in each of us at conception, that is survival !

A chasm exists among Americans of African Ancestry. Tribal warfare that produced America's slave population bound together captured members of warring tribes. with age-old hatreds and conflicts on the plantation. Thus, cohesion usually resulting from conflict never developed. There is talk of togetherness and helping , underneath it all, hatred for each other. A great divide between intellectual - fair-skinned, straight haired black Americans - and the darker, kinky-haired, less educated is one of the scars of slavery. This must change if social justice, economic independence and political power is to be realized by Americans of African Ancestry. Gatekeepers and poverty pimps must be made to decide whether they are out to help their own, or provide cover for the Political Correct agenda. Or, the decision must be made for on behalf of the group. Being used as a bargaining chip - to impose a totalitarian society on all of America, not just the welfare / affirmative Action Entitlement, Dependency Prison that has confined black Americans since Reconstruction, when " new best friends " got busy with re-enslavement - would no longer be an option.

Americans of African Ancestry must accept and act responsibly on the reality that there is a serious problem in our poorer communities. Re-building is needed. The re-building is the responsibility of the community's inhabitants. Outsiders, black or white, liberal or conservative cannot solve " our " problem. Looking for solutions in the same areas that generated the problem is not only an exercise in futility, but is a really dumb idea. The white man is not the obstacle to black progress. The obstacle is more than likely as close as the reflection in the mirror.

AFFIRMATION OF SELF-WORTH
Writing in the 8/96, edition of Headway magazine, Errol Smith, pointed out,
" The most corrosive, debilitating, undermining, handicapping,
destructive, remnant of slavery is the lingering perceptions of
black inferiority. The notion has been repeated so often that even
our best and brightest believe it. Though, we are the most affluent,
well educated people of African descendent in the history of
civilization, we continue to tell our children, they are disadvantaged. "

It's almost 2007, and too many are still running headlong over figurative cliffs, like lemmings - following ' so-called ' leaders. There were and are, those who found it to their financial advantage and perceived ( ? ) prestige to keep the wound of slavery festering. Isn't it time to ask the question, the logical questions - why are my ' so-called ' leaders getting richer, leading the really good life, while my family struggles to survive in crime infested neighborhoods ? Why do government spend millions of tax payer's dollars to meet with murderous gangs? If these wanton killers can be found ' to invite to meetings ' why can't they be found to stop drive by shootings, terrorizing public schools ? Holding entire communities hostage ? Why give them the illusion of power ? Why raise their ' dubious ' prestige in the all ready shattered neighborhoods ? It's time to step outside the comfort zone and start the community re-building process!

In education, the basic curriculum gradually replaced reading, writing and arithmetic in the new politically correct schools with sensitivity training seminars. Following closely behind, the teach nothing indoctrination, was chronic low achievement, even lower expectations, violent, disruptive students, large numbers of uncaring, incompetent, union protected teachers. Unions inherited the largess of ' toe in the door ' and poor, minority children got shafted.

America, founded on the creed ' that there are certain self-evident truths... support certain idea of human justice, respect for human rights and due process. These hallmarks of freedom demand that all citizens accept there is a difference between right and wrong, individual rights must be respected and legitimate government must be based upon consent of the governed. America is at a crossroads, a crisis of character. There is a need for self-control.

Time for stepping outside the comfort zone ? For much too long, too many of Americans of African Ancestry have willingly worn blinders, avoided reality, lest its discomfort, intrude. Too many have stood on the sidelines waiting for 'the messiah ' . While others came, seized opportunities, realized dreams, we sang songs about ' overcoming', marched in boycotts to express someone else's displeasure, while others filled the jobs we once held - self-esteem and self- respect does not come in the envelope with the welfare check.

Time is of essence for change. Patience and compassion is beginning to wear thin.The authority is yours to effect change. Apathy and ' sense of entitlement ' have forged the chains of a self-imposed prison. Those holding the key have no incentive to see you go free. The struggle to maintain status quo is fierce. For some, your salvation is not an option.

Time is elusive. Parents must begin to use common sense that is in the best interest of the children, who are the future. When a certain segment of a community of individuals see no improvement generation after generation, there is a problem, a problem that must be addressed.

Time waits for no one, get on your feet ! Knees are not a strong position for assertion. The time is long past to rid self and community of the gatekeepers and poverty pimps who usurp our voice, abuse our trust, take political power temporarily given to ride to wealth on media glory.

Time to take charge, expend the effort, become knowledgeable about politics and your power to have a say in your destiny. Believe it or not, you, not the elected official has the power and the authority to bring about desired change. They enjoy the perks of power, as long as you allow it. You can cut the electricity to their boom box anytime you decide. You can gather like-minded neighbors and vote their butts out of office. It doesn't matter how much money lobbyists pour into their corrupt coffers, the real power is yours. The lever in the voting booth is your ticket to freedom and change. If promises made are promises unkept, you have both a duty and an obligation to make a change. The question ever on your mind and lips " What have you done for me lately ? " If, you do not like the answer, make a change
Forget skin color ! Forget about what ' white folks ' will think or say ! They think it
anyway.

Hint, white folks own most of the Black Unaccountable Machines !!!
They became plantation gatekeepers with the passage of the Emancipation Proclamation and Poverty Pimps during the War on Poverty. These BUM got richer while you got poorer. They fought in courts to keep your children in poor, non-teaching, violent schools while they sent their children to private - often Ivy League - schools. Some years ago, the New York Post posed a question on its front page - " What does Mayor ( NYC )Rudolph Guiliani and Al Sharpton have in common ? The answer - They both send their children to private schools !

Paternalism as practiced by the politically correct liberals, black and white, within and without the Democratic Party, presents the most easily recognized face of racism, a phony benevolent facade hides its destructive intent. Democrats, extremely adept at waging race and class warfare are able to maintain friction and chaos among America's ethnic groups and economic classes. Paternalistic P C Democrats attempt to cloak racism, pretending to be modern robin-hoods - taking from the rich to give to the poor. Truth? Democrats are Socialists / Communist power abusing despots who use taxation and regulation to take hard earned wealth from one American to distribute to another of their choosing, a thinly disguised bribe to maintain power.

Affirmative Action - a statement and constant reminder of inferiority - like the mother who sticks a pacifier into her crying baby's mouth, stops the crying but does nothing for the underlying cause - hunger. Affirmative Action creates the illusion of help, while needs of masses go unmet and worsening. This does not begin to deal with the conflict created by ' reverse discrimination ' among America's magnificent mosaic. In fact, by design, conflict keeps raging.
If you give a man a fish he will eat for a day. If you teach a
man to fish he will eat for a lifetime. If you teach a child to fish
he may feed the world ( - Chinese proverb ).
Manpower Program
The goal ? improving disadvantaged workers' lack of skills. Methods ? Tuition stipends to students ( for the first time, people were paid to do nothing ) - pooling of funds designated to the Dept. of Social Services. Trillions of dollars were spent training perpetual students for obsolete or nonexistent jobs. 50 years later, the hardcore disadvantaged have even fewer job skills and even less ambition to try to succeed.

Welfare Prison - entitlement born of FDR's New Deal, began with lofty goals. A vicious cycle ensued and the projected pathology of the ' welfare state ' became a reality. Justification of unjustifiable behavior. Social Security Trust Fund became a ponzi scheme - new workers must continually enter the work force in order to pay the pensions of the retiring workers. Aborted babies do not grow up to be supporting workers, therefore the ponzi scheme is now beginning to unravel - abortions' unintended consequence.

Crime Became Chic - common criminals were invited guests at the Politically Correct cocktail parties. So social justice required an end to any scrutiny of their behavior. There was nothing so reprehensible that could not be explained away and excused in the name of absent father, low esteem or racial discrimination. "

Some BUM have gotten rich embezzling community development funds, with impunity, and absolutely no fear of jail, as long as they were able to deliver your vote, enmasse, to the Democratic Party. To meet the assigned goals, they worry the wounds of slavery, refusing healing. Contentment could end their well-paying job !

Drug Culture reigned, and still does. All left wing politically correct radicals who did not die from heroin overdoses or AIDS became tenured professors in public schools, colleges or sit on judicial benches with lifetime appointments.

1/22/73, Roe - vs - Wade, Devastation of Black Family resulted in millions of black babies being aborted. Promiscuity, immorality, lack of respect for self, pre-marital and extra-marital, multi pregnancies rages, even now.

Community Action Programs,were a calculated means of keeping control of the Americans of African Ancestry and their activities . The illusion of power was created. Dashikis , dreadlocks, emphasis on skin color - symbols, rather than substance, were disguised and distorted the real goal- creating a permanent under class of dependency and the indoctrination of future jihadists in America.
