Why is having an identification card in order to vote so threatening to progressives?

I know the answer to that question as do most you. Mention the words "VOTER IDENTIFICATION CARD" and then quickly put on a pair of headphones, because you will immediately hear a loud streaking noise by progressives howling to the moon about how "racist" such a proposal is. Don't progressive politicians want integrity restored to the voting process like everybody else who cares about their vote standing for something? I can believe I actually said that without bursting out laughing. I don't understand exactly how a law requiring "all people" to have a photo ID is even remotely "racist". Since I can't use warped logic on the issue, here's Sheila Jackson Lee to explain it.



I'm sure most of you look at Sheila Jackson Lee as a woman who's brain is on fire with no water in sight to put it out. I have that impression of her as well. So I guess according to Sheila's warped logic

Blacks don't have any money, because they aren't able to cash checks at a bank or check cashing place, because those places require Photo ID Cards

Blacks don't drive cars, because blacks need a photo drivers license which acts as a Photo ID card.

Blacks don't fly airplanes or go on cruise ships, because Photo ID cards are required.

Blacks must all be homeless, because they can't rent an apartment or buy a house, because Photo ID cards are required.

Blacks don't go shopping with credit cards, because a Photo ID might be requested upon request.

Blacks can't go into nightclubs, because the doorman might ask them to display a Photo ID card.

I'm also sure that all blacks of working age don't have jobs, because an interviewer will request a drivers license or a Photo ID and a social security card as part of a background check.

Of course I am demonstrating just how absurd Ms Lee and other progressives are in making such a lame and baseless statement. I'm black, and I have a drivers license. Before I was able to drive, I had a "five dollar" Maryland State Photo Identification card. So according to the left, blacks are so poor that they can't even afford a Photo I.D card which ranges between five to eight bucks in most states? Is that what we are really suppose to believe? This is what it is truly all about as most of you probably already know.

This has all to do about making sure illegal aliens can vote for Democratic politicians and voter fraud can occur then it does protecting blacks from voter disenfranchisement.

Putting it another way, Ms Lee and other progressives are merely using blacks as pawns in an effort to make it easy for people who aren't even citizens in this country to vote.

"Newt Groupie" says the GOP establishment is responsible for the attacks on Newt Gingrich.

It's no secret that Mitt Romney is the chosen one of the Republican establishment in the eyes of conservatives. Some are clinging to the worn out line that Mittens is the only candidate who can beat Obama. I still find that claim ridiculously flawed and laughable at face value. But be that as it may, that hasn't stopped talking heads like Ann Coulter and other media conservatives from echoing the same Jibba Jabba. The fact of the matter is that anybody who holds opposite views of Obama can easily beat him. A few ago right before the Florida primary, self described "Newt Groupie" Flora Reece talked about her perception of Newt and who she believes is out to get him. I found Flora's thoughts on Newt and what's going on to be very thought provoking. She talked about fighting for Newt all the way up to the convention in Tampa, but if Newt doesn't raise enough money going forward, he might not even make it there.

Why do black progressives become unhinged while being in the presence of black conservatives?

I have no problem defending what I believe in. I can debate my positions in a rational way without demeaning others in doing so, but I can "get down in the gutter", when progressives want to take a debate or disagreement in that direction. It's no big secret that progressives of any race can act very vicious to the point of sheer instability when confronting a person of the same race who happens to be conservative. I've experienced it with blacks many times over the years. These people "aren't" as "open minded and tolerant" as they claim to be. A person sent me a story yesterday about a black female conservative in Memphis Tennessee named Charlotte Bergman who is running for congress who unfortunately decided to be a guest on 1180 WPLX radio with the host a black progressive by the name of Thaddeus Matthews. The old saying goes in life, "treat people the way you would like to be treated. That sounds about right I think, however I don't think Thaddeus Matthews understood that concept in his verbal beat down of a person who was suppose to be his "guest" on his show. As I watched this brutal interrogation aka "interview" I really felt bad for Ms. Bergman. Regardless of her political affiliation, she did not deserve to be treated like the way she was treated. As disgusting as Matthews acted during the interview, even I was shocked at how much lower he sunk when Ms. Bergman finally decided she's had enough of being verbally assaulted.

Part 1


Part 2



With progressives, their thought process if you want to call it that is based primarily on emotions. If I was the guest on Mr. Matthews's show, there would be no way in hell he would be able to do to me what he did to Ms. Bergman. It would be zero chance! I have no doubt Matthews would ever call Ms. Bergman to apologize for his behavior. He'll never do it, because in his mind he believes he was right in what he did. To him, the ends justified the means. So much for progressive civil discourse.

What are "cracker" counties?

What would be the response if political analyst for Fox News would have said while reporting in Florida that Obama would do well in the lower part of Florida which is mostly koon counties. That person would be fired 30 seconds after his segment ended and rightfully so by the way. Rogers Alies of Fox News would be apologizing repeatedly for what was said. Progressives would be demanding for advertisers to pull their spots from Fox News immediately. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and others in the Civil Rights industry would be calling for boycotts and protests of Fox News. Also, congress would no doubt try to get involved for grandstanding purposes. What I am saying is that it's pretty obvious what would happen if such an incident arose on Fox News. Well, lets say that the incident was reversed. Lets say that instead of the News Channel being Fox News it was MSNBC, and let's go further in saying that the person didn't call the area "koon counties" but instead referred to it as "cracker counties", and the candidate who was reported to do well in those counties wasn't Barack Obama but instead Newt Gingrich, what would be the response then? Of course I am just making this all up, I mean nobody like lets say the Politico's Jonathan Martin would ever make such a racist statement like that, right?

MSNBC Analyst Melissa Harris-Perry compared Governor Jane Brewer to a white segregationist who talked down to kids?

As always with MSNBC, it's all race, all the time, 24/7.The other day Barack Obama landed in Arizona, and Governor Jane Brewer was there to meet him. They exchanged greetings-and then had a momentary exchange on the immigration issue and what Jane wrote about Obama in her book which Obama took exception to. Nobody in their right mind would have thought much of a governor and a president of two opposing political parties having a momentary exchange on an issue. The media blew it up to be more then what it really was of course, because it was Obama who was involved. However, one has to look at the equation involved through the eyes of progressives in the media. White Female Republican Governor + Black Male Democratic President = Another opportunity to make a non issue into a racial one by the racial antagonists over at MSNBC.



So Governor Jane Brewer must be some sort of an iconic civil rights era throwback segregationist, because she shook her finger in a heated exchange with Obama? If Governor Brewer was a Democrat, this wouldn't even have been covered by the media nor discussed as a racial issue on MSNBC. How can race relations in this country ever improve when progressives keep using race in order to stir up the pot in regards to political issues? The problem with race rests in the lap of people such as Melissa-Harris Perry. People like her branded Governor Brewer as a racist simply, because she tried to protect her state from being overrun by illegal aliens. I will repeat what I have always said about MSNBC. They barely have any viewers for a reason, and America is better off because of it. If you thought the race card was played in 2008 by the left, buckle up, because you haven't seen nothing yet in this election year. It's just beginning. FYI: The black race hustler Al Sharpton is still gainfully employed with MSNBC. I just thought I would share that.

I didn't watch the SOTU address last night for one simple reason.

I knew Obama was going to deliver his same old tired class warfare, socialist BS that he has done from his first SOTU address. Apparently, I was right on target.



Since Obama has no accomplishments he can speak of that has helped the American people even to this day, no wonder he has to keep recycling his past SOTU speeches by changing the wording just to give a hint that he is saying something original.

Gingrich wins South Carolina

The Republican establishment and the Romney camp must be wondering this morning what in the world happened to them yesterday in South Carolina. It doesn't pay to focus on what the so called pundits say, because most of the time they're wrong anyways. Newt Gingrich was shown Friday as being ahead of Mitt Romney in the polls, Some predicted the contest was going to be close,they couldn't have been more wrong. Newt not only beat Romney in the South Primary, he trounced him by getting 40% of the vote to Romney's 28%. Newt should thank the media for unknowingly helping to make his win possible. Last week has been the ultimate week of mishaps for progressives in the media hell bent on taking down Gingrich. Juan Williams took his shot at Gingrich in the Fox News debate and failed. Newt's smack down of Juan is what helped him to start the rise in the polls in South Carolina. What gave him his rocketing momentum was when he embarrassed the CNN moderator John King and the national media in the Thursday night debate. John King opened the debate by questioning Newt over his ex wife's allegation that he said that he wanted to have an open marriage. The audience didn't like that question and Newt didn't appreciate it either.



I'm not sure what John King thought he was going to accomplish by asking Newt that question. He must didn't learn the lesson Juan Williams was taught just a few days earlier. The GOP nomination was all but a lock for Romney according to the wizards of politics just a few weeks ago, now they don't know what to say. Santorum was awarded Iowa after the recount, Romney won New Hampshire, and now Newt has won South Carolina. The question that needs to be asked is obvious going forward for the Romney campaign. Romney did terrible in southern primaries back in 2008. Is this the beginning of a repeat? Romney didn't just lose by 12 percentage points in South Carolina, he lost by double digits even with the endorsement of the Governor Nikki Haley, more money, a professional political ground game etc. Even though Romney has the money to media blanket the large state of Florida, I have to wonder will that be enough. Rick Santorum might as well drop out. He finished with 10% of the vote yesterday. For him to claim to be a social conservative and yet finished in last place in a social conservative state should have been a wake up call to him, but he said he's still going forward to Florida. It looks like as of now there is no real front runner.

Juan Williams learned a very valuable lesson about what GOP candidate can be race baited and which one can't.

I watched the South Carolina GOP debate Monday night. It was a decent debate for the most part. Fox News was sponsoring it, and one of the questionnaires was Juan Williams. Since the debate was held on Martin Luther King day, it was easy to figure out what was going to happen. Combine a black progressive, Dr. King Day and a Republican Debate in the southern state of South Carolina. Now mix it all together. Juan Williams made the foolish mistake of trying to corner Newt Gingrich on a comment he made the following week about the work ethic among the poor and the issue about food stamps. Newt said

"blacks should demand jobs not food stamps"

Newt was 100% right, but Juan took exception to that comment and decided to use Newt's comment back at him in the debate, BAD MISTAKE!!!



It was foolish of Juan to think that a person like Newt Gingrich was going to bite his tongue on something he said, especially if he knew he was right when he said it. Newt is a very cerebral thinker. He's like me. We tend to stand our ground on something we know to be right, and we tend to provide evidence to it back up. Progressives have always been know to burn the candle of race and welfare on both ends. When people mention anything about the blacks and welfare, progressives will usually be quick to mention that

"more whites are on welfare then blacks".

That is a true statement, because there are "more whites in America then blacks based on "population". That's only one side of the candle. When Republicans talk about reforming welfare so that it doesn't become an indefinite entitlement to the recipient and robs the recipient of his or her work ethic to stand on their own two feet, then progressives claim that

"welfare reform will adversely impact blacks and minorities the hardest"

So welfare advocates play both ends of the debate to try to have their cake and eat it too. I have zero problem with what Newt said. My first job was when I was 16, I worked at McDonalds. Hell, I had to clean out the bathrooms to. I had to flip burgers etc. I hated the job, but loved pay days, because I knew I earned that money. Because I started work at a young age, I understood not only the importance of work but also how important it was to budget money even though it was a part time job. Progressives always cry about young people not having anything to do in order to stay out of trouble, it seems obvious to me that if they are working, they can't get into any trouble. Somethings are just common sense like Newt demonstrated. The media and progressives were quick to come out and try to down play Newt's reference that Obama is the "foodstamp president". They claim that Newt is wrong. The fact is that more people are on food stamps then under any other president. Progressives are praying for Romney to win the nomination, because they know that Obama can't debate Gingrich if his life depended on it.
