Is it okay to be "Proud To Be White"?

I recived this in an email this weekend. I don't know where it started but in a time when we are being told that Barack Obama can "heal" the racial divide in this country, I found the email to be quite provocative. Here it is. What do you think? Does this reflect a very limited view of the world shared by only a few, does it reflect a widespread frustration or is it just a radical and racist excuse to gin up hatred against others? From the email I'd say it has been fairly widely circulated.

Proud To Be White

Someone finally said it. How many are actually paying attention to this?

There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Native Americans, etc.

.....And then there are just - Americans.


You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.

You Call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,' 'Whitey,' 'Caveman,'

.....And that's OK.


But when I call you Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink, .....You call me a racist.


You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?


You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Hispanic History Month. You have Martin Luther King Day. You have Asian History Month. You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day. You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi. You have Yom Hashoah. You have Kawanza. You have the NAACP. And you have BET.

If we had WET (White Entertainment Television) .....We'd be racists.


If we had a White Pride Day .....You would call us racists.


If we had White History Month .....We'd be racists.

If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives,

.....We'd be racists.


We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.

Wonder who pays for that?


If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships

.....You know we'd be racists.


There are over 60 openly-proclaimed Black-only Colleges in the US , yet if there were 'White-only Colleges' .....THAT would be a racist college.


In the Million-Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights,

.....You would call us racists.


You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and red, and you're not afraid to announce it.

But when we announce our white pride .....You call us racists.


You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member

or beats up a black drug-dealer who is running from the LAW and posing a threat to ALL of society .....You call him a racist.


I am proud. .....But, you call me a racist.


Why is it that only whites can be racists?

Daffy Wesley Clark Is At It Again!

Daffy Wesley Clark Is At It Again!

Wesley Clark is either very, very dishonest or so blindly partisan he can't comprehend the duplicity of his own words.  His suggestion that John McCain lacks enough experience to be commander in chief must be compared to Barack Obama's experience.

Clark made the foolish comments to Bob Schieffer:

The retired general Wesley Clark said McCain had not "held executive responsibility" and had not commanded troops in wartime.

"I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president."

Of course the McCain camp fired right back:

"If Barack Obama's campaign wants to question John McCain's military service, that's their right. But let's please drop the pretense that Barack Obama stands for a new type of politics. The reality is, he's proving to be a typical politician who is willing to say anything to get elected, including allowing his campaign surrogates to demean and attack John McCain's military service record."

If Clark is now a part of Obama's military advisor group, then Obama is more of a neophyte fool than many first thought.  Clark has been repeatedly criticized for his lack of judgment, his lack of honesty and putting his own ambitions above the men who served with him and even his own nation.

Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Hughe Shelton said of Clark's removal from his post as commander of NATO:

“[T]he reason [Clark] came out of Europe early had to do with integrity and character issues … I’m not going to say whether I’m a Republican or a Democrat. I’ll just say Wes won’t get my vote.”

Alfredo Lindner, a retire Army medic said of Clark:

"I know Clark's record.  He's a loose cannon, and that's why they yanked him out early."

Retired Lt. Gen. Marc Cisneros had this to say about Clark:

‘He was a training-focused leader but did not appear to care about people, only himself. I value honesty and integrity in a person … and I felt that Wes was lacking in this. He is extremely competent, but self-serving to a fault.’

Not only does Obama lack executive and military experience, it seems he is incapable of surrounding himself with men of integrity, competence and judgment to advise him where he is lacking.

Oh, and by the way, John McCain isn't just a war hero himself, he has over 20 years of experience on the Senate Armed Services committee which he has chaired for the past 11 years.

Obama?  He is a half term Senator from Chicago's corrupt political machine and before that he was a community organizer.

UK Lefties Singled Out By Family Foundation

George Orwell said:

"Who controls the past controls the future.  Who controls the present controls the past."

So what role does the faculty at state sponsored Universites play in controlling what our future generation learns about the present, and the past?

According to the Family Foundation, they are indoctrinating our youth with "pro-gay" and "pro-choice" propaganda.

Morning Funnies

Just A Lazy Summer Sunday, Kentucky Style

This mornings email included a link to this.  Man, how easy life can be.  Have a great Sunday.  See you full bore, here tomorrow.  Enjoy.

I told you so!

As soon as I read the DC gun ban decision I immediately posted to this site.  What I told you was that having been around bright lawyers for over thirty years I knew the language in the decision would open up a bunch of loopholes.  It didn't take long.

The nation's mayors are now on record saying that the decision gives them clearance to limit access to guns, to restrict use and ownership of guns and to impose registration and licensing requirements for gun ownership.  Just this morning I heard one report that the decision also leaves open the question of whether the right to bear arms is limited to the inside of one's home or not.

This is just the beginning.

The high court struck down the District of Columbia's ban on handguns, ruling that Americans can keep guns at home for self-defense. It was the justices' first-ever pronouncement on the meaning of gun rights under the Second Amendment.

But the court said the right to bear arms is not absolute and suggested that the ruling should not affect federal restrictions on the sale of guns or who may own them and where they may be carried.

"In limiting its opinion to the matter of self-defense, and in saying the right is not absolute, the United States Supreme Court decision today is an explicit statement of support for cities all across America who are creating reasonable measures to limit the ability of those who will do harm, who will maim, who will buy, carry weapons illegally," Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter said.

I hate to say it, but I told you so.

What Iraq Means To The American Way Of Life

Let's face it, we will never know all the reasons we engaged our troops in Iraq.  Urban legends abound.  It was for oil.  It was because Saddam put a hit out on Bush the elder.  It was because Saddam threatened to reveal secrets we had shared with him.

Look, it doesn't take a military genius to appreciate the effort necessary to mobilize and deploy troops in a middle east emergency if that deployment starts on U.S. soil.  Not only do we need to move troops, but we need to move ammunition, fuel, food, equipment, medical facilities, housing, armament, ships, trucks, tanks, supplies and command.

If for no other reason, our involvement in Iraq should be justified on a future, potential, military need.  We need secure bases, airstrips, supply depots and listening posts in the region.

If the world tightens its grip on our throat by cutting off our oil supply, and continues to wage economic warfare against us in an attempt to bring us to our knees, we need to have secure access to oil and the port from which to ship it.  Thus Iraq and Kuwait become vital to our national security.

Today's economic news is more bleak than yesterday's.  GM is at a record low, housing starts are down, interest rates may climb, oil is at a new high, gas and diesel prices are just now starting to eat into our rate of growth, unemployment is growing slightly, some are predicting a serious recession, foreclosures are up, major US corporations are begging for capital, foreign investors are beginning to buy American businesses and properties.

We are being squeezed by many countries which have an avowed goal of seeing to our total destruction.  And why do they want us destroyed?  Because we are the greatest hope for liberty in the world.  We are the last hope for liberty in the world.  With us out of the way, the evil of tyranny will flourish.

What Iraq means to the American way of life is more than we will every be told.  But one thing is clear, no one who is more interested in appeasing our enemies than in preserving our strength in a dangerous world should ever get close to becoming our commander in chief.

New Chief Justice Reveals Political Savvy And Management Skills

Justice Minton will soon be sworn in as Chief Justice of the Kentucky Supreme Court.  Even before his oath, however, he provided the people of Kentucky with additional evidence that the Court is a political body with political interests.

According to the Lexington Herald Leader, Justice Minton has met with legislators and announced his plan to abide by their budget for the Court.  In addition, he discussed the internal politics of the administrative agency over which the court presides and gave us a glimpse of the management skills he will bring to the job.

And once again, as time goes by, whether the matter is a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court or a policy pronouncement from the Kentucky Supreme Court, the political and philosophical positions of the justices revealed in their decisions further exposes what I have been saying for quite some time now:  we need to know more about these men and women before they grab hold of the reins of power.

And if "the law" is their only guide, and the law rules supreme, then why was the Heller decision a 5-4 decision with the court divided clearly along liberal vs. conservative lines?  Could it be that the world view of an appellate court judge might in some noticeable way inform his or her decisions?

***THE ARMED CITIZEN*** An Every Friday Feature

According to police, the teenage suspects in a burglary knew the homeowner was hospitalized, but they didn’t know he had a house sitter. One suspect waited in the car while his three accomplices broke into the house. The house sitter heard glass breaking, got a handgun and hid in a bedroom while the suspects stole guns, money and jewelry. When he thought the intruders had left, he stepped into the hallway—only to find himself face to face with a gun-toting burglar. The house sitter quickly fired two shots, killing the suspect. The other suspects fled, but were later arrested. (Telegraph, Dixon, IL, 04/11/08)
