It is occasionally of interest for those of us who analyze politics from without to actually speak to someone wishing to change it from within. One such person is conservative presidential hopeful John Cox. He’s a businessman and native Chicagoan who first got involved in politics in 1988 after he volunteered for Jack Kemp’s presidential campaign. On top of being an accountant, lawyer, investment advisor, and real estate broker, he has also been president of the Cook County Republicans. In 2002, he ran for the United States Senate and garnered 23 percent of the primary vote. Being pro-life, anti-big government, and supportive of penalties for illegal immigration, Mr. Cox offers conservatives a non-RINO choice for 2008. Already, he has filed the requisite FEC forms for his run, and has conducted a tour of Iowa. Additional information regarding Mr. Cox can be found at his website.

BC: Sir, let’s start out with an obvious one. Why would you like to be President?

JC: Well, the major reason is that I am not happy with the failures we’ve experienced in Washington over the last decade. Government spending has been climbing and it’s now reached critical levels. It seems to me that politicians spend too much of the people’s money and they often do this as a means to get votes. Let me give you an example, there were only 1,400 earmarks back when the Republicans took over Congress in 1994, now, a decade later, almost 16,000 of these pet projects get inserted into spending bills. We should not be using taxpayer money to buy votes. Many politicians see politics as their livelihood and will do whatever it takes to get reelected. This can range from getting on the cover of local newspapers by proposing the erection of a new federal building to constructing rainforests in Iowa, or even commissioning a study for waterless urinals. Career politicians will do whatever it takes to bring money to their states. Should I be elected, I will not enable these activities. I’ll come in with a desire to solve problems such as social security. We need to modify the system so it works. We have a tax system in which people spend over 300 billion dollars to be compliant. Think of all the money that is wasted in this pursuit not to mention all the lost productivity and investment dollars. One of my main goals is to establish a tax system that works. Furthermore, government must discourage businesses from relocating to foreign shores.

BC: What is it that you have to offer in comparison to other presidential hopefuls?

JC: A change in the political climate of Washington, and the will to prevent politicians from advancing their own political power at the expense of the people. As I speak to you right now, the television news is referring to a Congressional aide who plead guilty to charges of fraud. The essence of reform is that we should do something about taxes and spending. The first thing is to get rid of the income tax. I am in favor of a National Sales Tax.

BC: Is that basically something like the Fair Tax?

JC: Yes, exactly. Should we enact a sales tax for all Americans then we wouldn’t need the IRS with all the expense and non-production its name embodies. A consumption tax is the way to go. An income tax is disastrous as it deters investment. As a nation, we want investment and when you tax profits you get less of it. That’s something which must be corrected.

BC: What would say to those who would argue, as they often do, that a sales tax is regressive and unfair to the poor?

JC: Yeah, I’m asked that a lot. Look, I’m a reasonably wealthy guy, despite the fact that I grew up in public housing, and I spend a lot more money than the average person. People like me still end up paying the lion’s share of taxes under the sales tax system. With the sales tax, a lot of refunds, rebates, and pre-bates are built into it which means that the poor will not get hurt which is absolutely essential. With a pre-bate, the poor could actually get money sent to them before they spend it. Another thing that is often overlooked is the way in which the underground economy flourishes under the status quo. Unlike an income tax, the National Sales Tax hits every transaction and decreases the size of the black market. Hopefully, as revenue increases, all of us will get taxed less. We need a person who will go to Washington and be a bulldog over corruption, waste, duplication, and excessive budgets. We need someone who will veto spending bills, and that someone is me. We can’t afford to make America unproductive. We are in a global economy and must compete with powerhouses like China.

BC: Speaking of overspending, what’s your opinion of George W. Bush?

JC: I think he’s tried hard, but instead of battling Congress he’s tried to make friends. That’s not going to really work because not everybody in Congress is going to be your friend. They’re interested in their own political hides and a desire to be re-elected. Many politicians are afraid of the political left demagogues who scream murder over decreases in spending. Political courage along with the ability to communicate is essential. The president has tried a unique approach with Congress, and, remember, some of our criticisms are in hindsight. As for me, I’ll follow Reagan’s example. I’ll spend taxpayer money as if it’s my own. I don’t waste my own money so why should I waste the taxpayer’s? I refuse to do so.

BC: What do you say to people like me who have been so alienated by Republican overspending and “moderation” that they no longer identify with the GOP but view themselves as Libertarian?

JC: Okay, what I would say to Libertarians is to look at the recent Israeli election. They have like 11 political parties, and no one ever wins a majority so governments must form coalitions. The trouble with Republicans splitting their votes up is that the Democrats will not unilaterally disarm.

BC: They did with Nader in 2000.

JC: Okay, but that was a small percentage. Look at how much more money a person like Ross Perot has over Nader. His candidacy handed Bill Clinton the election back in 1992. Today’s Democrats will not be dividing their vote. They will coalesce and back one candidate. My point is that you don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. As far as George W. Bush is concerned, this administration has one leader but there are other Republican leaders coming up that conservatives should not give up on. We embrace limited taxation and limited government, so let’s keep the conservative coalition together.

BC: What about Iraq? Would you change anything should you become president?

JC: First of all, I agree with the president about the invasion of Iraq. It is much better to engage the enemy on his turf and not our own. There have been some errors though, and some of these have been economic. Look at the Iraqi level of unemployment, it’s in the 20 to 30 percent range. Now if 20 to 30 percent of Chicago were unemployed would the jobless be throwing bombs in the street? No, but there’d be a whole lot more angry people running around. In Iraq we have to give emergency treatment to the economy. I would start with oil production, which is running about 20 to 30 percent of full capacity which means that they’re leaving 60 to 70 percent on the table. Let’s fill the positions and put more people to work. We could use the profits to build schools, hospitals, and industrial infrastructure. The Iraqis would feel better about the government and be more motivated to combat revolutionaries bent on destroying their new lives. We need a Marshall Plan for that nation, something which really pays attention to the economy, and gets the citizens to feel good about their daily lives and the future.

BC: What would you say to those who assume that being a Congressman, a senator, or a Governor is a necessary precondition to running the nation?

JC: Sure, I hear this often. I have no elected office experience, but I have had better experience. I’ve created jobs for workers and funded numerous charities. I built a 100 million dollar business on my own. That’s better than what can be said of the junior Senator from New York who married a governor of Arkansas as her main road to advancement. She’s never lived among the little people who produce and pay taxes. Besides, when it comes down to it, we’ve had people in office who were never elected like Dwight D. Eisenhower. He wasn’t unqualified for office just because he wasn’t a career politician. He defeated fascism and that was experience enough. Sure it’s different because I don’t have a military background, but, with all of these scandals in Washington D.C., having an outsider in charge is necessary. Oh, I’m not a complete outsider though. I have worked for Republican politicians like Jack Kemp, and also headed the Cook County Republicans. I’ve been in the vineyards you might say.

BC: Sometimes politicians run for president to garner national attention and find jobs with the new administration, does that apply to you?

JC: No. I’m here to win, period. This is not for me, as it is for others, the next rung up the political ladder. I am not going to sit back and watch the same thing happen to the people that happened in 2000. We worked our tails off and, while the current administration has given us some excellent Supreme Court Justices and tax cuts, there have been too many trade offs like McCain-Feingold, Sarbanes-Oxley, and the drug bill. The public is once bitten twice shy. We need to get back to the practices of Ronald Reagan. He put us on the right track and was not a career politician. He held deeply held beliefs and principles and then pursued politics. Reagan changed the beliefs of Americans. He brought us around to thinking that a strong military was the road to peace, that tax cuts fostered economic growth and that government doesn’t have to be the answer to the people’s every ill. The private sector is what we need to solve many issues.

BC: What would you say to those who think you’re too far to the right and that Republicans need a moderate to ensure victory?

JC: People said that the same thing about Reagan. The Republican establishment hated him back in 1980. They wanted Bush to be the candidate. They said Reagan would get us into a war, etc. Reagan stuck to principles and got amazing things accomplished. If you want to lead you must be a leader, and not sacrifice your ideals to get elected. Moderates often bend towards the middle. Don’t tell the people what they want to hear, but what they need to hear. In 1980, we needed less government and lower tax rates, and, via the excellence of Ronald Reagan’s leadership, we got them. Politics is more common sense than rocket science. If you let citizens keep more of what they earn then they’ll take bigger risks to make more money. Reagan convinced the American people of this fact, and George W. Bush has tried to do this, albeit rather timidly. I’ll take the debate further and eliminate both the IRS and the income tax. They’ll be no “woe is me” regarding jobs leaving our shores. What we need to do is not complain but make the country more business friendly so we’ll become a jobs magnet. Why send investors to Ireland? Let them come here. One more thing here, will you make sure that what I’m about to say is quoted verbatim?

BC: Sure.

JC: I will not, under any circumstances, sign a National Sales Tax Bill which does not include a repeal of the income tax. We cannot have both and we cannot have new taxes. Once we get that through, I’ll lead the charge to repeal the 16^th Amendment. Right now, I intend to build up popular support one precinct at a time. Remember, nobody knew who Howard Dean was back in early 2002. Of course, I’m no Howard Dean.

BC: Thank God!

JC: Yeah, but unknowns can come from anywhere. Look at Lincoln, he wasn’t an insider or even a good old boy, but he was one of the greatest presidents ever.

BC: What would you say to those radicals who pretend that America is a racist, sexist state?

JC: Well, I’d tell them they’re full of hooey. This is the most welcoming, honest, forthright country in the world. Sure, we had some dark years like with slavery, but remember, my party was the one that fought and voted for all of the civil rights bills. The Republicans have always fought racism, look at Lincoln.

BC: Thank you very much for your time, Mr. Cox.

Even the Moon is Red Tonight

Nobody’s Opinion; Wow, you would think it was Friday. All the insane and absurd news of the day was enough to make you feel that the situation of the United States was hopeless. Some of the more perceptive talk show hosts like George Noory and Michael Savage have figured out the grand plans of the One World Order being put slowly in place. The other voices like Rush and O’Reilly feel it, they just won’t commit to it yet.

No one would dare admit to the fact that the communists have been planning the downfall of America for years. You will hear very few connecting the dots on this one.

I think it was Mao himself that said he would down America by using the very weapon of capitalism. They planed the takeover as a long-term thing, using our power and money as our own downfall.

I can honestly say, my generation of baby boomers has produced the very leaders who are leading us right down the communist yellow brick road. They got us early. Our educational system was appalling. So right away, when drugs, feminism, and abortion were introduced into our baby boomer minds on purpose, we were lead along like little five year olds, because our education had been so bad, we didn’t think about it.

They saw the opportunity and took it.

I remember when I first went to college; it was Friedrich Nietzsche’s “Anti-Christ” that was the hot book to read. My boyfriend was handing me “Three Who Made a Revolution” like it was the Holy Grail. The communists infiltrated our universities, and that’s where they found young minds, like the Clintons, to choose and place in high places. (Well, actually they got Bill in the drug crib of Arkansas) They now control most of them. Fahrenheit 451 is not far away.

The baby boomers hated America, and the Democrats made sure you thought the evil man of the century was Nixon. Nixon—who actually opened up our trade to China. In fact it was two Democrats called Kennedy and Johnson that committed and entrenched us in that war. But the media keep us looking the other way, with an impeachment.

Who knows, maybe another recent President’s impeachment was meant to distract us while all our nuclear secrets and technology was being sold to the communists.

Every night, on all the news stations, we get endless stories on a daughter missing, a wife killing her husband, or a husband killing his wife and baby. It keeps our mind off what is being implemented right before our very eyes… the final curtain.

And while we are looking the other way, at Iraq and the Middle East, the New World Order is being implemented. Like a chess-game, the strategy of the takeover was perfectly timed, the pieces falling in place.

Russia and China have been working on the downfall of America for decades. They knew they had to get us from within. Now they have two x-Presidents, helping them out. In fact, most of the Democratic Party is now becoming a “progressive” party.

Yeah, I said progressive. THEY call themselves progressive. They know the exact words to use to push the buttons on a population, because these same words came right out of the propaganda book of overturning the freedom of free people. They used these same words in Cuba and in Stalin’s Russia. Another word button pusher is “citizen.”

In the revolution in Russia, “citizen” was used long before “comrade.”
During the sixties it was “brother” and “sister.” Communism 101.

Why don’t you believe me? Because our own schools have failed us: in history, in geography, in math, in science and in just plain thinking for ourselves. The teacher’s Union has been controlled by socialists. They have tenure and can’t be fired after three years.

Is that free trade? Is that the free market? It is the dreams of the progressive Democratic Party, which is now on the Senate floor telling you that, guess what? You’ve been screwed. They want you to support all those poor people coming into your yard to pee, and then take your job.

Ha, ha…we let them in…now what are you going to do? If you don’t pay taxes, we will come and get your house. So you will say nothing.

The systems of control have been set up so brilliantly and successfully that the middle disappearing class of America, does nothing. And they WANT you to do nothing. They are counting on it.

On the floor of the Senate they will be granting the Latinos precious “citizenship.” They will all long to have “citizenship” of America, the New Republic of Progressive Citizens.

I’m crazy you say? Well, the communists who have gotten all these protests together (as they did in the Vietnam days, most of the baby boomers were too stoned to know they were being manipulated) are now going to plan the biggest gathering on May the first of this year. To most people here, that date doesn’t mean a thing. We do know May the 5th, because all the bars have twilight at the cantina specials.

May the lst is the celebration of “workers unit” in all communists’ countries. Russia brings out the missiles on that day.

The Mexicans will bring out their flag, to celebrate the “workers” of the New Progressive Mexico. Trust me. This is no coincidence.

Yeah, I sound like Ronald Reagan.

The communists came in under FDR. The news was released that many of FDR’s top cabinet members were actually Russian agents. They helped him guide America to the big socialist’s state it has grown into today. And somewhere during the forming of the United Nations, the New World Order was established. They have undermined our schools, infiltrated our country with liberalism during the 1960’s, and now the time has come for them to take over the world.

Mao was trained in the Moscow University of Communism, in Moscow.. As was Lenin and Stalin. Bill Clinton has spent more than enough time there.

Now, if you make more than $100,000 you might not buy this. You think that communism is like the Boogy Man…you were scared when you were little, but it’s just not here. Not yet.

Those of us that have lived in the recession that has gone on through four Presidencies have seen no improvements at all. You’re time will come. Even a rich man can get his house taken away by eminent domain.

Remember the scene in Dr. Zivago where the poor came into the Doctor’s house and took it over? You don’t think it could happen here?

Do you not see camera’s on your street? Do you not see “internationally accredited” on the back of your police cars?” Do you not see Mexico coming to take over your country? Do you not see the “create the chaos then come in with the solution” being planned?

Hope you like refried beans.

I’m praying on a God that still exists, and for our men to actually start getting mad. The woman should go and give the men some old fashioned confidence.

Go ahead and bribe them girls. Dig out the Federicks of Hollywood. Your very future of your children calls for it.

Nobody Cares; Charlie Rose had a heart valve replacement done in Paris. Guess we no longer have the best doctors here. Beware of liberals leaving the country all at once.

Two more mergers today; JP Morgan will buy out the Banks of New York. Whirlpool and Maytag have been given the go ahead. Wal-Mart and K-Mart are coming soon. Look for the mergers to speed up in the coming months. Communists don’t like competition.

Madonna is going to go on tour and relive studio 54. She’ll snort cocaine on stage and tell everyone how “incompetent George Bush is.” Then she’ll take off her clothes. And here we thought she had become a good mother…Ha.

Look for Barbara Streisand to go on tour to elect Hillary, because, even though she hates Hillary, it’s really Bill who’s going to be President again, and it’s Bill she loves.

Nobody’s Perfect; Harrison Ford says he hates the internet. “Any kind of rubbish goes on the internet.” Harrison is really having a problem getting old. All those bloggers, I’m sure we are driving him crazy.

I wonder—does Harrison Ford employ illegal aliens on his ranch? Can he speak Spanish? Is he seeing dancing babies too?

Nobody Knows: Osama Bin Laden’s former bodyguard gave Bill Clinton a good plug today by saying the closest anyone has ever come to killing Osama was Bill, when he bombed and missed the camp. Good to know Bill has a fan. The Arabs love him, the Chinese love him…
dogs, on the other hand know better. They howl at the moon when he comes near.

Mercury on the Senate Floor

If you happen to see this guy on the Senate floor on judgment day..

Leave him alone. He has a serious job to do there. He is a messenger from God…

Yes, he might be gay, and the snakes around his staff get along better then the Republican and the Democrats…But they still have time…To redeem themselves.

But, if not…

They should all just take off their clothes and follow him.

The Left and Right of Mercury

Nobody’s Opinion; Mercury, in case no one remembers, was an old Roman deity, a messenger of the gods— carrier of the news. In Greece, he was the god of commerce, of tricks, of white lies. He was the patron of gamblers and thieves. In Greece he was called Hermes.

There is a famous story of his that reminds me of our present day Senators. In fact, when Armageddon comes, as many are claiming will happen soon, I will not be surprised if all of us will see Jesus—but the Congressmen of the United States will see a really gay looking naked guy with two snakes wrapped around a pole to which they will all be asked to follow. Being as clueless as they are by their speeches, they probably will all follow him instead of Jesus, because Mercury was known to be a jolly fellow. He will be telling a lot of off-colored jokes, most likely about Monica Lewinsky, or Hillary Clinton…they will feel right at home.

The story goes that when he was a kid, Mercury stole his older brother Apollo’s cattle. He had shoes made of bark and grass to disguise his footprints, and he drove the cattle very far away and tried to confuse everyone. When Apollo found out it was his little brother that stole his sheep he was furious!

I don’t know about you, but I wish the Congress had only stolen cattle. We could maybe give them some slack.

Of course Mercury (Hermes) denied he had stolen the cattle claiming he was only an innocent little brother. Apollo ended up forgiving him though because Mercury played the lyre so well that he gave in. The music was just too sweet. Mercury then gave him the lyre. What a guy.

This was before rap. If Mercury had been a rap artist, Apollo might have whipped him to death, as he did another guy for having played the lyre too well. The egos of the Gods have not changed.

Evidently though, Mercury’s lyre playing was not better than Apollo’s but just good enough to charm him into forgiving him for stealing the cattle. In fact, Apollo had pretty much got screwed, because he never got his cattle back. The guy was just stupid.

The Romans thought that this was the world’s first business deal. Not much different than the workers amnesty program being suggested on the floor of the Senate today.

And to get us to stop thinking about the border problems, they all started turing over a new leaf.
No more were lobbyists going to fly them to Cacun.

Seeing all those Senators going all around saying “No lunches, no dinners! Why, no lobbyists are going to bribe us with free meals ever again. Why…we’ll go Dutch!”

This means you an I will pick up the bill.

There was Congressman on all the news programs; Democrats and Republicans pandering shamelessly and obsequiously to both the illegal aliens and the American people. They actually had to work today.

Work hard at convincing the American people that amnesty for all the illegal aliens already here is only right—because they are 90% of the work force here! And we don’t want to put up walls, why…that would be mean, and all those people just work so hard.

Well, they know how hard they work.

What a bunch of Mercury!

Don’t tell that to the middle class guy who is working two jobs, just to support the illegal alien’s kids. Or the Ford worker who just got laid off and can’t get a job because he is not bi-lingual.

The owner of a big governmental subsidized conglomerate farm was saying no American has ever applied for a job to pick his strawberries. You could tell he was lying…he never goes off his property. Like the slave plantation owners of the old South use to do, he just sends a Gringo out to get everything he needs.

The right and the left of Mercury…they all play the same tricks. As Americans we’d better start getting concerned soon, because I’m not ready for American to go back to the boundary lines before 1812, when the Spanish had Texas and Florida, and most of the states that the Mexicans are taking over now.

The fact that they have let this go on for all this time, even after 9/11, is proof positive that they wanted this to happen.

And if our elected officials allow this amnesty to take place, and give up the territory to the Spanish, then they deserve to follow Hermes on judgment day.

Being lawyers, and ignorant of classical history, they will not know that Hermes had another job.

He conducted all deserving souls to their everlasting doom in the Underworld.

Too bad I won’t be there to see their faces.

Nobody Cares; I wish I could stop talking about Bill Clinton every day, but he just keeps putting his New World Order puss everywhere. Now, he wants all people in Africa, (and the rest of the world) to be mandated to be tested for aids.

Never mind that he is NOT the president of Africa. Oh wait…he is the first black President, I forgot.

I’m sure he is trying to set up a system for his own benefit, so everyone that has aids, will be tagged, and he will be able to know who is safe to come up to his room and examine his Walt Whitman books.

Walking To Memphis Without a Sony

Nobody’s Opinion: In the March issue of National Geographic I was reading a propitiously timed article today on immigration. (The Greatest Journey Ever Told) I felt as if the article was saying; “See—100 million Spanish people are just doing what comes natural. They are walking! People have been walking for thousands of years—migrating! It’s only natural.”

It’s always good for the elite to back up their plans with science.

Let’s see if I’ve got this right. We started out as small cells, mutated to smelly fish, then smelly fish with legs, then some kind of rodent, then monkeys, then the monkey decided to stand up and start walking and get addicted to credit cards. Of course he had to get out of Africa first.

Who knows why the first people left the tip of Africa 120,000 years ago? Some of them stayed, and thank God for that, because Jack Nickelson would not have gotten to watch Michael Jordon, and Nike would have not gotten rich off $100.00 shoes.

But the ones that did start walking made it all the way up to Saudi Arabia. The walk alone must have been tough because the first mutation came (M168) about the time they got out of Africa. But by then, some of them were getting sick of each other so they split up. Some went northwest and became the Europeans and some went east and became the Arabs.

Now the ones that stayed in Saudi Arabia were pretty smart because they mutated AGAIN (M9) with a gene that could smell oil even if it was 50 miles underneath their feet, and developed a great proclivity to cut off heads.

Meanwhile, the Europeans walking north stopped off at some caves in France where they met another race that looked just liked them but with smaller heads, so they called them liberals (just kidding), they were called Neanderthals, because they tended to neander. They must have had a good time with them though because they stayed in the cave so long, they turned white. They did not have sex with them…those people in that cave.

The article does NOT explain how these Neanderthals got there in the first place. It also ignores the obvious screw-up of the evolutionary theory here. Why did the men in Africa evolved into the very color that absorbs the sun (black) and the poor people up in Iceland who really could have used some dark skin to keep them warm, evolved into white?

OK…then the people kept walking, and walking, and they got so tired of walking they couldn’t see for the boredom of it all and mutated again (M3) with little eyes.

Deciding it was getting a little cold; they crossed over to Alaska and followed the ocean all the way down to the tip of South America. Not all of them made it to the tip of South America. Some of them stayed north and became various tribes of Indians, who could weave, ride a horse, get drunk, gamble, and be the only people on the earth that could talk to an eagle or Al Gore.

By this time, the Spanish Europeans had developed the ability to build boats because they had walked enough thank you, so they traveled across the sea look for gold, and found it in South America, where they ran into more people like themselves!

The human race came full circle! Whew!

Did they finally stop walking? No…something stirred the people to start walking again.

They walked back up to Mexico, stopped for awhile and danced and cooked burritos, then came back up through North America where in the future they will pass Alaska, over to Russia, down to Saudi Arabia, to the top of Africa and then walk down to the southern tip, where the whole thing will start all over again.

By that time, WWV will have happened, killing all the billions everywhere, leaving the last remaining man and woman, and the whole thing will start over again.

Then one day, under an apple tree…Eve II will say to Adam II, “Wanna go for a walk?”

Nobody Cares; Sharon Stone has come out and endorsed that favorite pastime of Bill Clinton…oral sex. This statement is bound to have millions of men going to her new film, expecting a blow job in 3-D. I advise all women going to see this film to wear raincoats, and if someone asks you for sex, be sure to tell them you just cut your lip on the popcorn.

Nobody Knows; Bill Clinton was bashing President Bush again in England by saying how Britain is envied in the United States. By who? Sharon Stone? He was not specific. He is busy developing a world-wide Tsunami warning system. We will need this in Missouri.

Not many people know that with the suggestion of the ACLU, Bill took the National Guard off our borders when he was President. He could put his tsunami warning system on the borders now, but he hasn’t mentioned this. I think we should suggest it.

In today’s society, in the year 2006, the issue of race is still a sensitive subject at times. Either we are dividing each other through political correctness (African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, etc.), or some of us still have hang-ups over races mingling together, or we use race for political gain and to push controversy. Aren’t we all supposed to be American?!

I don’t agree with the ethnicity-hyphen-American connotation we attach to each other. We will never be united if we separate each other into groups. I am fully American. When we split people into categories, like African-American, it is another form of racism. It is simply fine with me if I were called a black lady. When we have the African-Americans over here, and the Asian-Americans over there, it doesn’t make any sense. It should be simply said, he/she is an AMERICAN, first and foremost. I believe that is how we are going to heal our nation, when we recognize that we are all one.

I believe racism is starting to rear its ugly head again, not as severe as in the past, but it’s coming back in another form. We are better off as a nation than we were in the turbulent 1960’s, but there are still pockets of racism that manages to surface. In the Reagan era, to me, there was a feeling of family. Americans were more united. We were more patriotic. One could feel it. The “ethnic-american” phrase didn’t come about until the 1990’s, and it separated Americans into groups. At an attempt to “not offend,” and to label groups of people living in America, that phrase was born. To me, it did no good. Our mentality is warped now.

Regardless of one’s ethnic background, I will still treat that person as if they are my brother or sister. That is what is so unique about America. I am free to welcome anyone from anywhere in the world with love, so long as they do not harbor ill will towards me.

The words of Former Congressman, J.C. Watts still echo in my ear from the recent Republican Conference in Memphis:

“Diversity of color is a good thing. Don’t be afraid of it. If there is anyone who had a say in how they were born, speak to me afterwards.”

“God is the artist of a person’s skin color. God likes diversity of color,” said Mr. Watts.

I am also reminded of the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.:

“I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character…”

Shouldn’t we, as a nation, judge people on their character instead of immediately by skin color? It worries me because there is racism on both sides. Lately it seems that race has been brought up in the political arena too much…used as a rant against the majority race in America. Case in point, I read an article by Michelle Malkin recently about a young girl, Autum Ashante’, who spews hate with no remorse or second thought. This young girl blames “white nationalism” for her ills. I found Autum Ashante’s rant disturbing:

White Nationalism Put U In Bondage White nationalism is what put you in bondage
Pirate and vampires like Columbus, Morgan, and Darwin
Drank the blood of the sheep, trampled all over them with
Steel, tricks and deceit.
Nothing has changed take a look in our streets
The mis-education of she and Hegro — leaves you on your knee2grow
Black lands taken from your hands, by vampires with no remorse
They took the gold, the wisdom and all of the storytellers
They took the black women, with the black man weak
Made to watch as they changed the paradigm
Of our village
They killed the blind, they killed the lazy, they went
So far as to kill the unborn baby…

(”I pledge allegiance to my black people” by Michelle Malkin)

Ugh, I couldn’t bring myself to put all of her rant in this article, it’s just simply disgusting! Ashante also mentions a “pledge of allegiance” to her black people. Why is this young girl so angry? Excuse me? Pledge allegiance to my black people?! Are you not thankful for what America has been able to offer you? Why don’t you pledge allegiance to the flag, like the rest of us?! Why would someone be so discontent and angry with white society?! What has happened to America that there are those who harbor such bitterness for our nation?! No country is squeaky clean when one looks at its history, at its inception. Many hardships were endured, and many mistakes were made to make America the country it is now. I am grateful for it. We are a very blessed nation, America is strong and compassionate.

I will explain part of the problem why some young people are bitter. Recently, angry educators have taken it upon themselves to indoctrinate our young people, spreading hatred for our country that’s given them so much, and against people of a different race than they…mainly whites.

It shocks me that Universities allow this hate-filled speech!:

From Worldnetdaily:

A visiting professor at North Carolina State University says the solution to the problems faced by many blacks is the extermination of “white people off the face of the planet.”

Kamau Kambon, who taught Africana Studies at the Raleigh school last spring, told a panel at Howard University Law School Oct. 14 this action must be taken “because white people want to kill us,” the Carolina Journal reported.

The article goes on to say that the class in which Kambon teaches…” Africana Studies 241, is described by the university as, ‘Second in a two semester sequence in the interdisciplinary study of sub-Saharan Africa, its arts, culture, and people, and the African-American experience.’ “

This “educator” cunningly wrapped anti-Americanism and racism in a class that is supposed to be geared toward the study of Africa and its culture. It’s pure negative, evil propaganda!! Under the blanket of an African studies class, he’s getting away with pushing this hatred for others! It disgusts me, and it should outrage anyone reading this.

Tell me how this is any different than terrorism. Educators, or anyone who speaks this way should be deported! They shouldn’t have the right to influence young people in such a disgusting way! People like Kambon are poisoning our society!

Last week, I watched a report on ABC’s NIGHTLINE on the growing popularity of TV’s hit medical drama Grey’s Anatomy. The show focused on race dynamics, on the interracial relationships represented in the show, and how well the actors got along with each other regardless of their different backgrounds. The actors were interviewed and the impression was given that they do not look at someone based on race. That is in part of what makes the show so interesting…not to mention the draw of female audiences to lead hunk Patrick Dempsey.

I say, if Grey’s Anatomy is a contributing factor in helping people understand that the race of a person shouldn’t matter, that we are to look beyond that, then I am certainly grateful for this show. Because that is how we are to view each other in the real world.

The world is filled with people from all backgrounds, and it’s a normal thing. When racism ceases to be an issue, it would be because people stop talking about it, and start looking at each other as equals, human beings.

As we move forward as a society, we should not repeat mistakes from the past, or harbor negative feelings towards another person because of their race, because of what happened years ago. Neither should we hold negative feelings towards a certain group of people because of a perceived notion that they are “keeping a minority group from success” in some way. It’s foolishness. Your life is what you make of it, and putting blame on others will not solve a thing.

America is not perfect, but if we all work together in love, America can become that “shining light on a hill” again. That is in part, what true strength, peace, and happiness, is about.

Professor: Exterminate white people

Nobody’s Opinion: “In trying to perfect a thing, I sometimes run straight up against a granite wall a hundred feet high. If, after trying and trying and trying again, I can’t get over it, I turn to something else. Then someday, it may be months or it may be years later, something is discovered either by myself or someone else, or something happens in some part of the world, which I recognize may help me to scale at least part of that wall. “
—Thomas Edison.

OK…I have a big nobody confession. Thomas Edison is one of my heroes. Ever since my dad took me to his laboratory when I was nine, and I saw the world’s biggest light bulb, I was transformed. He was high on my ‘stupendous human pedestal.’ Not only did he have one of the most awesome trees in his front yard in Ft. Meyers, Florida, he single-handedly transformed the world.

Are you the kind of person who insists on sitting near the window seat on all plane rides just to see the lights below? I am.

If it was the last day of my life, and I had one request, it would be to go up and fly all day, and into the night up above the earth and look down on all the beautiful lights. (Thank you, Thomas Edison) I would listen to Ode to Joy, and all my favorite Beatle songs. (Thank you again, Thomas Edison) I might put up a movie in between cities, (Thank you again, Thomas Edison), and then I would have some angel food cake, and a Strawberry Daiquiri.

Well, three out of four ain’t bad. He might have invented the Daiquiri. Heck, he might have invented the car too for all we know, he was just too busy so he walked all of fifty feet to Henry’s house and suggested it.

My point is, seeing all the trouble that the country is in right now is hard to handle at the moment. We have terrorists attacks to worry about, boys dying in Iraq; a Democratic Party that is so far left it has the head of Castro, the feet of Stalin, and the heart of Cruella Deville. The Republican Party is installing all the policies of the left without a fight— so they might as well just keep going out to lunch. China will “soon be the big dog on the block.” (As Bill Clinton predicts.) Russia is helping China, Iran, Saddam, and any country that they can get to buy their old stuff. America is getting it from all sides.

Now, the merger with Mexico is coming soon. Polygamy is being programmed to be accepted here so the Muslims who move here can have the four wives they are used to and populate the country fast. They have a lot of catching up to do with the Spanish.

They are not worried about the white race. We have been getting abortions.

Of course catching up with the Spanish (who have woman that can move better than a mixing bowl on high) may be hard. The Muslims might have to take more wives to catch up. Twenty might do it.

Meanwhile our melting pot is being stirred…to explode.

Those of us who believe in America, and do not want to see the attacks from all sides, are frozen it seems. We have hit a big wall. We have spineless leaders who want to impose the New World Order on us, without our consent. Our granite wall is the United States Congress, President, and x-Presidents, who have signed onto this deal and no matter how hard I think about it, the solution to the problems to saving America, are nowhere. This wall is very thick.

So, do we walk away as Edison suggested? Since a New World Order is being planned by the top leaders of the World (Be sure not to miss Bill’s Global Initiative in September.) shouldn’t WE the people of the world have a say? Will the world’s people start a revolution and fight those at the top, and get to vote on just who will be our world leaders? Will we even have a say in our own lives?

Does a roach squash when you step on it?

If you said yes to the former question, you are right. Something tells me these giant mergers going on all over the world were NOT just for the money. They want to squash many roaches, which is what I feel like right now. An American nobody roach. Someone is bound to step on me.

If there is only one game in town, you play it or die. They won’t need guns. They are implementing these things now, however they can. Everything’s going online and once it gets there, they will take control: a cashless society is being implemented. National ID cards and cameras will be everywhere.

The great stem-cell research will appear and then, only the rich will have the genes to rule. They won’t need to spend any money. They will rule by genetic right. Just like the Kings of old. Bill Clinton can be the next Henry the VIII. He can be Bill the twenty-second. He can have wives stationed all over the world. That will be one of his global initiatives. Lots of wives.

But my favorite idol, Thomas Edison also said another thing;

“I never allow myself to become discouraged under any circumstances.”

It was just that attitude that lit up the world. Maybe…we can still save her…the light of America. We just need to shine a big, bright Thomas Edison light on the problems, so that solutions finders and new leaders will be sure and see it.

Then the roaches can come out of the dark.

Then again…they say that if the world got nuked, the only ones to survive would be rats
and roaches. See…there’s that wall again. I’m going to go get a drink.

Nobody knows; When Christopher Columbus reached the Bahamas in 1492, he wrote some really interesting things about the society he found there. For instance; everyone had one spouse except for the Kings and princes who could have twenty wives. (Saudi Arabia took that suggestion.) They would give tons of gold in exchange for a simple plate, (The concept of taxes.) Everyone was naked (Hugh Hefner used this one.) Of course this explains why Columbus’s men had no problem staying behind. Since they were thought of as gods, they each got twenty naked women a piece.

Oh, and woman worked more than the men. (Why is that not a surprise?)

Even though you did not hear all these details in school, the one amazing thing they left out was that there was a whole island of people who were all born with— tails. I don’t know about you, but that seems to be pretty good proof those humans evolved from monkeys. This could go into the evolutionary cook book for all the little kids.

All I’ve got to say is; it’s a good thing God made the blueprint for evolution. He let us evolved without those pesky tails. Think of all the bikini problems we would have if the tails had evolved along with us. Not to mention, we would have to redesign commodes.

Nobody Cares; I caught Tucker on MSNBC lamenting the other day about how strippers make you think they are going to go home with you and it’s such a rip-off because they never do. Poor guy.

Why is this topic on a political show? Maybe someone should tell him to ditch the bowtie. It wouldn’t help him score a stripper, but it might make US feel better.

Nobody’s Perfect: Alec Baldwin wins the imperfection award today for calling Hannity a…what was it …an x-construction worker? Oooooooooooo

I wonder what Alec did before he became famous? Waiter? Bouncer? Wife Beater? Enquiring minds want to know. Hannity should find out, and set up a rematch.
