White Man Slaps Black toddler in a Walmart in Stone Mtn. GA

OK, this is just an update and when I find out the details, I'll pass them on. Let me be perfectly clear, this man was way out of line, but I've been in situations like this and had to step back or step away! This will be interesting to watch.

Lloyd Marcus Rocks the House!

He is a fine American and as he states so eloquently, he isn't an African-American, he is simply an American! Now that's what I'm talking about! Hyphenating needs to come to an end! VN8

Van Jones is TOAST!

Compliments of Democratic Underground

Oh you just have to love them over at Democratic Undergound! "Levtist Agitator" wants to "boycott" Republicans! This one is hysterical, read it for yourself. VN8

Original message
A proposal: Boycott Republicans.

I don't mean just boycotting businesses who advertise on Faux, I don't mean just boycotting rightist owned businesses, I mean to suggest that we collectively boycott ALL Republicans on a personal level.

If there is a Republican in your life, refuse to conduct any economic transaction with them. In fact, if possible, do not speak to them at all. Let them know why you have broken off all contact, as your average Republican is too stupid to figure things out for him or herself.

If they want to let the crazies run their Party, that's fine. The Republicans are only about 30% of the population of this country, and the REAL crazies are even less than that. Let's see how they manage if the 40% or so of Democrats refuse to have anything to do with them. They can't run the country on their own, hell, even with the cooperation of the Democrats, they still couldn't run the country under Bush. If we collectively refuse to enable them, if we force them to realize that they need us more than we need them, they will either get their Party in order (which is doubtful) or they will cease to be relevant in the slightest.

Thoughts?

Another one bites the dust! Van Jones resigns!

Obama adviser Van Jones resigns amid controversy

AP) – 13 minutes ago

WASHINGTON — The White House says President Barack Obama's adviser Van Jones is resigning amid controversy over past inflammatory statements.

Van Jones, an administration official specializing in environmentally friendly "green jobs," is linked to efforts suggesting a governmental role in the 2001 terror attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans.

Jones issued an apology on Thursday. When asked the next day whether Obama still had confidence in him, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said only that Jones "continues to work in the administration."

The White House issued a statement early Sunday saying Jones had quit the administration.

(What an opportunist! You make Rev. Al Sharpton look like a pansy! You are the racist and the kind of person that divides this Country. Yeah, I said it and you are entitled to my opinion! Good riddance! VN8)


PS This is how intelligent they are over at Democratic Underground, this was one comment on the resignation of Van Jones:

Jesus Fucking Christ (this is the user name)

Obama is being the biggest wuss..he should have told the right wing...we won the election eat shit and die!!!!

(If you have never been over to the "fever swamps" you really should give it a try, it's enlightening. The venom that they spew is amazing. VN8)

Democratic Underground!

The liberals are turning inside out! I just found this post today, read it and ENJOY!

On January 20 of this very year - we were united, hopeful, and ready. We had gotten together behind a man who told us about hope, and change, and the type of future John Denver used to sing about. America would be different. We had a leader with vision, and strength - who told the truth and would take advantage of the huge majorities liberal and progressive American worked so hard to deliver.

And now? It's Bush;s 3rd term:

" If Bush were in his third term, we would already have seen him propose, yet again, the largest military budget in the history of the world. We might well have seen him pretend he was including war funding in the standard budget, and then claim that one final supplemental war budget was still needed, immediately after which he would surely announce that yet another war supplemental bill would be needed down the road. And of course, he would have held onto his Secretary of Defense from his second term, Robert Gates, to run the Pentagon, keep our ongoing wars rolling along, and oversee the better part of our public budget.

Bush would undoubtedly be following through on the agreement he signed with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki for all U.S. troops to leave Iraq by the end of 2011 (except where he chose not to follow through). His generals would, in the meantime, be leaking word that the United States never intended to actually leave. He'd surely be maintaining current levels of troops in Iraq, while sending thousands more troops to Afghanistan and talking about a new "surge" there. He'd probably also be escalating the campaign he launched late in his second term to use drone aircraft to illegally and repeatedly strike into Pakistan's tribal borderlands with Afghanistan.

If Bush were still "the decider" he'd be employing mercenaries like Blackwater and propagandists like the Rendon Group and he might even be expanding the number of private security contractors in Afghanistan. In fact, the whole executive branch would be packed with disreputable corporate executive types. You'd have somebody like John ("May I torture this one some more, please?") Rizzo still serving, at least for a while, as general counsel at the CIA. The White House and Justice Department would be crawling with corporate cronies, people like John Brennan, Greg Craig, James Jones, and Eric Holder. Most of the top prosecutors hired at the Department of Justice for political purposes would still be on the job. And political prisoners, like former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman and former top Democratic donor Paul Minor would still be abandoned to their fate.

In addition, the bank bailouts Bush and his economic team initiated in his second term would still be rolling along -- with a similar crowd of people running the show. Ben Bernanke, for instance, would certainly have been reappointed to run the Fed. And Bush's third term would have guaranteed that there would be none of the monkeying around with the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) that the Democrats proposed or promised in their losing presidential campaign. At this point in Bush's third term, no significant new effort would have begun to restore Katrina-decimated New Orleans either."

Mr. Obama bears ALL the responsibility for this. No, its not us who refuse to overlook what he has done and not done. It's him.

And on the 12th of November, we will certainly see some more selling out - when we hear his joint address to congress on health care.

Well, folks, I supported Hillary. I was told her what an ass I was - that Obama was the real deal. And I actually bought it! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

No more. I am looking now for a primary challenge to Mr. Obama. Now, of course let me heat it:

-give him more time!
-he is doing all he can!
-this is part of a secret plan, only our wiser pols can understand.

I'm a Dem - and Mr. Obama is moving our party away from me. I am gonna work to take it back - again,
