Been away for a while… yet there are scoundrels and scalawags afoot!
October 27th, 2008 by Larry Bellinger Posted in UncategorizedGrad School is a Pure D. Beeyatch! Just finished two midterms, have two research papers due, trying to get that last student loan to go through, (can’t register for next semester until I give ‘em the whole 15 grand!), YIKES!
Full disclosure:
I’m having a BLAST!
Crazy couple of weeks since Senator McCain showed some of his old persona by standing up for Barack Obama at a rally. When told by a supporter that she was scared of Obama because, “He’s an Arab!” McCain responded, “No, he is a good, decent man…” or something to that effect.
Colin Powell said that was a good answer, but not the right answer. According to Powell, (What up, frat?), the right answer would have been, “So what if he is an Arab?”
That being said, a round of applause to the Police department of Pittsburgh, PA. Unlike the Boston cops in the case of Charles Stuart (a looong time ago!) the Pittsburgh police did not react to the Ashley Todd claims of a racial attack by an Obama supporting mugger; big and black, who assaulted her, robbed her, fondled her and then carved a “B” in her cheek.
“Just the facts, ma’am,” said Pittsburgh PD. After further interviews with Ms. Todd, the police said, “You have the right to remain silent…”
Yep, she made it up.
I am not gonna trash the young woman, (God knows there has been enough of that!), for there is obviously something terribly wrong going on inside of her. I really hope she gets the help she’s crying for so desperately.
However. Some folks really decided to make some hay out of this situation.
Check out this blog posting by John Moody, Executive Vice-President of Fox News:
“If Ms. Todd’s allegations are proven accurate, some voters may revisit their support for Senator Obama, not because they are racists (with due respect to Rep. John Murtha), but because they suddenly feel they do not know enough about the Democratic nominee.
If the incident turns out to be a hoax, Senator McCain’s quest for the presidency is over, forever linked to race-baiting.”
Well, John. It isn’t true. How long before you tell Sean Hannity to shut the hell up? Hannity sounds like a parrot;
“Ayres, Wright, Socialist! Aaaaarargh, wheee(whistle)whew!”
Can’t win on the issues? Then use culture wars to divide the country in half; manufacture some crisis to scare the hell out of the people, suppress some votes and voila! The “SAFE” candidate wins. Who is the safe candidate? The one who isn’t a socialistic, madrassa educated, wealth spreading, fake birth certificate packin’, domestic terrorist pally and disciple of a racist anti-white, anti-america preacher!
Too much ranting for one night. Back to the books.

If Obama wins, this NATION is truly going to be tested. Forget about being tested by other countries, we’re going to have our own internal issues to deal with. I saw video of comments made by those who were waiting in line to attend a McCain/Palin rally. One person was carrying a Curious George Monkey doll with Obama logos attached…The evil grin, snarly laughter, with of course rather evil comments that came out of that guy proved to me that some things really haven’t changed.. We’ve already seen failed assasination attempts & Obama hadn’t even been elected yet..Forget a Pope Mobile - this guy might have to wear a Iron Man outfit…What a great nation we live in…

I agree. This nation WILL be tested. I live in southeast Alabama. I am the only one smiling in the office today - not gloating, mind you, just happy. You would think someone DIED around here. It is unreal to me. Last night, at my house, we were screaming and dancing and crying - watching history happen before our eyes - and I’ve spent all day with a bunch of people who act as though they lost a close family member. Pathetic. Worse than that, it is scary. These people consider themselves “good Christian folks” and they really believe that. Having grown up in NY and then spent most of my adult life in CA, I never even knew this really existed. Perhaps the reason I am here [in AL] is to somehow help make a difference…. I am hopeful for our country’s future, and I pray that I can be part of the solution.
