Janeane Garofalo , have I got a date for you!!

Headline: Garofalo: Tea Partiers Are Racists

"Janeane Garofalo says this is all about hatred for a black president. My question is what has she done for black people? Has she donated to the United Negro College Fund, hired a black maid over an illegal? Aside from talk, what the hell has she done?" (Bob Parks, from his column "Black & Right)

Janeane, meet Michael Niehaus, a formerly unknown local useful idiot, who showed up to be interviewed at the Medford, Oregon 'TEA Party' on April 15th.

"But others didn't keep their cool when the opposition was in sight.
Michael Niehaus says [he] is the opposition. He says, "It seems like the Republican Party is just [beating] their fists. They're just so mad about a president of color and it's tough for the blue-eyes to handle that. They're just mad."

First, Mr. Niehaus, the TEA Parties had nothing to do with the GOP. There are too many dupes, like you, who call them selves republicans and most of us have as much problem with them as we do Obama. Corruption and mismanagement doesn't care about color.

Secondly, Ms. Garofalo, your argument is hallow because WHITES elected Barak Obama!

"Of Obama's voters, more than 60 percent were white and 20 percent were Black, according to Edison/Mitofsky exit-poll information. Latinos made up 11 percent of votes for Obama."

From Berkley.....Obama's race not a factor in election, say economists

Despite pre-election handwringing by reporters, pundits and others about whether white voters could or would cast their ballots to make an African American candidate the country's commander-in-chief, "the average guy in the street didn't really agree with that," said Moretti. "The winning performance of Obama wasn't associated with racial attitude in America."

A native of Italy, Moretti said he is curious about American media and politics and the historic 2008 presidential race, in particular. "What I found remarkable throughout the campaign was that although the media were very focused on trying to find a racial angle, the campaigns themselves and the American people weren't very focused on the racial aspect," he said.

If we are to believe your infamous rants about 'white hate' for blacks, what shall we base it on besides your imagination? How about Dept. of Justice statistics?

FACTS!!! They sure do get it the way!
Take a look at the line for white on black crime at the bottom of the following chart.
Also, note the other charts at the link........during republican administrations, black crime
went down and went up under democrats!

White on black crime is nearly zero, but nearly 20% for black on white!
Now, Janene & Michael , who are the racists? I don't know if you are a racist....you're just stupid...dangerously stupid!

In 2005, offending rates for blacks were more than 7 times higher than the rates for whites

Homicides are more likely to cross racial lines than those that involve friends or acquaintances

For homicides committed by --

• a friend or acquaintance of the victim, less than one-tenth (8%) were interracial
• a stranger to the victim, one-quarter were interracial

Michael, what shall we do with those 'BLUE EYES'? Off to your gulag, perhaps? Will you take me and all my relations? How about my brown eyed grandchildren and mother? How about my blue eyed Irish greatgrandfather who fought for the Union? And his cousin who died fighting beside him? Perhaps you'll lock up my Cherokee great grandfather who owned slaves?? Will he be forgiven because he had BROWN eyes?

You and Janeane can have your first date trying to sort us out. It's difficult, because what you have not learned is that Americans come in ALL colors. And so do dishonest bigots like you.

Are there white racists? YES!! Guess what Garofalo, We ARE human, TOO! The good, the bad and the ugly....you're proof of two of those three!

'Supremacists' exist, in ALL RACES, and they were soundly denounced when they showed up at the TEA Parties. How about you two? When will you denounce racism instead of using it as a political club to silence Americans of ALL races?

"During the speeches, the crowd booed when it was announced that white supremacists were passing out literature at the rally." Medford, Oregon April 15

PBS - WE SHALL REMAIN - Personal Invitation

Hello everyone,

Last Monday began the PBS Series, "WE SHALL REMAIN" with their first Episode "After The Mayflower".

The ones that will get my attention begin next week, Monday April 20th, 2009, and especially the April 27th "Trail of Tears" episode which will feature "The Ridge", the Cherokee leader and his clan who I wrote about in "Jesus Wept" An American Story.

From PBS: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/weshallremain/

"Though the Cherokee embraced “civilization” and won recognition of tribal sovereignty in the U.S. Supreme Court, their resistance to removal from their homeland failed. Thousands were forced on a perilous march to Oklahoma."

It will be VERY interesting to see how PBS deals with this situation or if they will be overtaken with the usual political correctness and historical rumor.
My story is taken from documented records as well as family letters saved from the time. I sincerely hope PBS's story is also as factual. We shall see. It's a story worth telling, if we understand how such political actions can and are repeating themselves in our current climate.

Thanks,
TheTownCrier

'We Shall Remain': From Plymouth to Wounded Knee, a Tale of Survival

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/12/AR2009041202539

[snip]"The episodes devoted to Tecumseh and the Trail of Tears are the most emotionally powerful, and achieve the best balance between reenactment and standard documentary style. In "Trail of Tears," the third episode, distinguished Native American actor Wes Studi stars as Major Ridge, a prosperous Cherokee landholder who decided it was in the interest of his people, and his own prosperity, to give up an independent Cherokee homeland in the southern Appalachians in hopes of peace and resettlement in land west of the Mississippi. It is one of the most vile and shameful chapters in the history of U.S. relations with Native Americans, and Studi captures well the anguish of his conflicted character.

The filmmakers don't shy away from internal conflicts within native societies, and these conflicts were often exploited by outsiders. It was the Mohawks, loyal to the English, who turned on King Philip and defeated him. After Major Ridge, who owned black slaves and sent his son to boarding school in Connecticut, signed a desperate treaty with the Americans he was viewed as a traitor. He and his son were killed by their own people."

Planning a vacation to Cancun??? Think twice!

Novedades de Quintana Roo (Cancun, Q.R.) 4/2/09

* Beginning April 15 new security measures will be carried out in Cancun including the detention of vehicles occupied by three men, or vehicles with out-of-state plates or with tinted windows. The Mayor said these measures are to reinforce the battle against organized crime and to combat it within the city.

* “We have your daughter, if you value her life you have to deposit ten thousand pesos in the account number we’ll give you, do not inform the authorities because otherwise we’ll kill her…..” This is one of the threats that have increased drastically in the city. Extortion attempts reached 1,160 cases in 2008 and during the first quarter of this year they have already reached 511.

Saudis Report Plot To Assassinate Obama
CBS News ^ | April 6, 2009 11:02 AM | Staff

The Saudi Arabian newspaper al-Watan reported today that Turkish security services have arrested a man of Syrian origins Friday in connection with a plot to assassinate President Barack Obama during his current visit to Turkey.

The man, who was carrying an Al-Jazeera TV ID card in the name of M.G., confessed after his arrest that he was planning on stabbing the U.S. president with a knife during the Alliance of Civilizations summit held in Istanbul, adding that he had three other accomplices to help him execute his plan.

According to the paper, Turkish investigators were trying to verify whether the Qatari-based Arab TV channel has truly issued the ID card produced by the man, or if it’s a forged copy.

The suspect, a permanent resident of Istanbul, has been regularly attending all conferences and events relating to the Middle East held in the city.

Obama tells Turks that US is not at war with Islam (".. and will never be at war with Islam")

ANKARA, Turkey – Barack Obama, making his first visit to a Muslim nation as president, declared Monday the United States "is not and will never be at war with Islam."

Urging a greater partnership with the Islamic world in an address to the Turkish parliament, Obama called the country an important U.S. ally in many areas, ...

"Let me say this as clearly as I can," Obama said. "The United States is not and never will be at war with Islam. In fact, our partnership with the Muslim world is critical ... in rolling back a fringe ideology that people of all faiths reject."

The U.S. president is trying to mend fences with a Muslim world that felt it had been blamed by America for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Politics and Religion, Poisoning the National Debate

"During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What have been its fruits? More or less in all places, pride and indolence in the Clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution........

What influence in fact have ecclesiastical establishments had on Civil Society? In some instances they have been seen to erect a spiritual tyranny on the ruins of the Civil authority; in many instances they have been seen upholding the thrones of political tyranny: in no instance have they been seen the guardians of the liberties of the people. Rulers who wished to subvert the public liberty, may have found an established Clergy convenient auxiliaries. A just Government instituted to secure & perpetuate it needs them not.” James Madison, the Federalist papers.

I have tried, and generally succeeded at staying clear of religious debate within political discussions. But lately, an ugly trend has appeared in ‘conservative’ circles. A lot of good ‘conservative’ right wingers are bashing Mormons very much like Atheists bash all Christianity. My observation over several decades and many churches is that there are two kinds of people you find in any church...saints and sinners. Many of these over zealous ‘Christians’ just can’t admit which category they fall into. Hint...you won’t find a handful of ‘Saints’ in all of them and I certainly don’t fall into that category.

Those who would force upon us their ‘true religion’ do not notice that the borders are open to terrorism, that a socialist is in the white house, that our economic system is gone. They only want a cure for Mormonism! At a time when our only success can be unity, they seek to divide us further.

I have little doubt that scripturally and historically the case for some sects being the ‘true church’ rather than the Mormon religion can be made. That is not what concerns me or what concerned the founding fathers when this nation was formed. I will not argue dogma or scripture because there is no end to it and it is irrelevant in a constitutional republic. Those discussion should be outside the political arena.

Bill of Rights, Amendment 1
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

In this republic, the founding fathers took the issue of religion out of all policy making except to expressly provide for each of us to worship as we chose and for the government to stay out of it. If a church is no immediate threat to me or my country, it is simply none of my business. I want patriots, men of good will toward one another. I’ve found them in ALL religions and races. More often than not, I find them from the Mormon Church......not preaching dogma, but proudly standing beside a sinner like me in defense of our nation. I was disappointed that some of them supported Mitt Romney simply because he is Mormon. I found more of them supporting other candidates who were not. There is plenty reason for no conservative to support Romney, but his religious leaning should not be one of them. This only represents the reverse side of the same bigoted coin. We saw it when John Kennedy was maligned for being ‘Catholic’.

Still, many insist on voting for representatives of our government based solely on ethnicity or religion, based solely on their own emotional attachment or revulsion to a particular sect. This is how tyrants are born. This is how we elect ‘rock stars’ instead of statesmen.

Divide and conquer. The oldest tactic on earth, and still the masses fall for it every time. Don’t we see enough division in our government over race, gender, etc? Must religion be included in this after the founding fathers warned us repeatedly of such a danger?

Divide and conquer. We’ve pushed that silly notion so far that atheism and environmentalism have been given religious status. Secularism has
surpassed the faithful in numbers. And why not? The Catholics and Baptists hate the Mormons. The extreme right evangelicals hate the Jews.
And the Muslims? Well, they hate us all!

Ben Franklin said, “ We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately. ...”

And he is STILL right!
