This'n'That; August 10th[Buchanan/Fluffy;Quote]

obama Needs Advisors-NOT ACORN "YesMen!!" [I received this forwarded email which essentially is an open letter to Fluffy obama, written by Patrick J. Buchanan. Mister Buchanan has "hit-the-nail-on-the-head," supported by facts!!] barack obama says we need to have a conversation about race in America . Fair enough.

• But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation.
• White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to.
• This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard.

And among them are these: First,

• America has been the best country on earth for black folks.
• It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million,
• were introduced to Christian salvation,
• and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.
• Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.
• (P.S.White man did not go to Africa, track and capture them. They were sold out by their own.)

Second,

• no people anywhere have done more to lift up blacks than white Americans.
• Untold trillions have been spent since the '60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream.
• Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks--with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas--to advance black applicants over white applicants.
• Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.
• We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude???
• Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks.
• Let him go to Altoona and Johnstown , and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids?
• Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America ?
• Is it really white America's fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70% and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50%?
• Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence

. Is barack obama aware that

• while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time,
• black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?

Is barack obama aware that

• black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse,
• that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?
• We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about
• Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena, Louisiana. And they all turned out to be hoaxes.
• But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Sorry, barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago. (P.S. it is the behaviors and attitude, not the color of your skin, that most whites are starting to find unacceptable. Didn't MLK say something about "judging on the content of your character?") We are a Christian Nation even if Mr. Obama says we are not.This needs to be passed around because, this is a message everyone needs to hear!!! Forecast Of Things To Come? Growing up in the late '40s and '50s, I became a voracious reader-devouring 20-25 magazines and a couple of novels a month [My family had no TV until I was seventeen years old!]. This trait has served me well throughout the intervening years. I recently finished "Something To Die For," by James Webb. This is an excellent read for those who enjoy military, political intrigue novels. As you read the next paragraph, bear in mind that this novel was copywrited in 1991!! I'd like to quote a paragraph from the book, found on page 356 of the paperback version:

They were lying, lying! They had called their favorite reporters and told half-truths corroborated with other half-truths and he was choking on their dissembling, vicious attacks. But there was nothing he could do. It reminded him of Lyndon Johnson's story about the 1948 Senate campaign, when in the final days one of Johnson's aides had suggested that they start a rumor that his opponent like to have sex with pigs. Johnson had insisted that no one would actually believe the man screwed pigs. It doesn't matter, said his aide. He'll spend the rest of his life denying it.

Allegations, lies, denials, dissembling, distortions, frantic deterioration into the rampant slinging of mud and shit: the Harvard shootouts. The President and his leaders could not solve the real problems that faced them. They could not balance the issues of national sovereignty and self-discipline that were being lost under an avalanche of foreign investment and the power that went with it. They preferred quietly allowing the Soviets-and the Chinese-to repress, or perhaps even slaughter, their own people in the name of "internal control" as long as relations remained reasonably on track. [Bold emphasis-Mine.]

Couldn't this have been written last week; last month?!?! Remember, Mr Webb wrote his novel in 1991!! It would seem he reached into the future and chronicled parts of the "Slick-Willie" and the Fluffy obama administrations!!!

I have to publish this in it's current form-this goofy software won't "let me out" of blockquote!

Til Nex'Time....
