It was all supposed to be so different for race issues in America after Barack Obama became president. Then again — given the players who are still involved in the game — it’s no wonder things aren’t any better. Despite a rocky primary process in 2008 where things did get a little controversial between Obama and chief rival Hillary Clinton, America did elect its first black president. Even before his official nomination, much less his inauguration, Obama proceeded to lecture us all about the ills of racism in this country and how to overcome them. After he was elected, new...

The ad was created by San Francisco's Goodby Silverstein & Partners (who created the "Got Milk" campaign.) They want us to know who should be blamed should we not reelect B.O.YouTube link Be sure to view it on YouTube so you can offer YOUR vote.

We don’t live in a communist country where jobs are assigned according to intellect or bulk. Police and firefighters weren’t drafted. If you chose to be one, I applaud you but that being said, that doesn’t mean you get to tell us how much you get paid because you chose a job that potentially puts your life in peril. If it’s not worth the risk, I wouldn’t blame you at all if you walked, but this job safety-guilt trip sh-- is starting to fall on deaf ears.

As more and more people turn their focus online to get their news and information, the credibility of news and opinion blogs has increased. Enough time has gone by for the web-inclined to learn which ones are reliable and which ones are rubbish. Some blogs have cultivated a reputation of being a source of solid information; some have become popular due to its uniqueness or for the writer(s) themselves. These are a few of the latter:

For more than a year now, the mainstream media has demonized the Tea Party as a group of white racists. On September 12, 2010, we set out to see for ourselves if the Tea Party is as “monochromatic” as most of the media has steadfastly claimed to this day.

A few days ago, I wrote a piece called Why Health Care Reform Must Pass. I did so because I kinda figured passage was a done deal. Think about it; would our no-class, narcissist-in-chief postpone his vacation if he couldn't be around to publicly gloat? Would the very politicians committing bribery right in our faces to obtain votes do so it they thought they'd endure a humiliating defeat? Mr. Parks, have you lost your mind? I prefaced my remarks by referencing my being witness to the ruthlessness of super-majority Democrats in Massachusetts, and later wrote we should be now concentrating...

Before you ask what kind of self-medication I've discovered, let me preface this by reminding people I, among other things, am a political tactician. I lived in dark blue Massachusetts where Democrats not only made sport of standing on the necks of the super-minority Republicans, but attempting to squeeze the remaining life out of them. I know how they think and I know what will happen if health care reform is defeated.

Washington, DC: --- As Black History Month draws to a close, the web site The Root has chosen to publish a hateful article that demeans black conservatives solely for their political views -- grouping them with brutal dictators, convicted criminals and self-centered celebrities. This has drawn a stinging rebuke from Project 21 member Bob Parks. "It doesn't take much for liberals to call black conservatives 'self-hating,'" noted Parks, "but what is it called when someone decides that blacks deemed inappropriate should be wholly removed from history? What kind of egos are we talking about here?"The Root is operated by The...

Let’s say I had a television show and I asked a political candidate some questions regarding, let’s say, about the other entrenched lifer candidates, local issues, state and federal issues, the Constitution, and then asked if he or she believed Babe Ruth was really black or if Barack Obama was really a United States citizen or if there was a 9/11 conspiracy. Let’s say an answer was given I didn’t like. Would that alone disqualify me from holding public office? I will admit, I did like some of the things Beck’s said over the last year on Fox News and...

Many factions are developing from within the party. Some people like this candidate, some remember a statement, or a position, and a perceived commitment to conservatism. But like I said, we've been here before. Will we be electing the real deal or more phonies who'll use Democrat malfeasance as an opening to get them in so they can blow us off again? You'd think the tea parties would have woken up the elected, but if the nation comes through and cleans House, we know what the politicians will get out of it. What about us?

Conservatives (Dittoheads in particular) make many demands of Rush Limbaugh. He's considered a spokesman and a champion of their political philosophy, and one who articulates it to millions every day. But now that he's been dropped by a group seeking to acquire the St. Louis Rams football team because of media statements taken out of context (and in this case, simply made up), he needs to punch them in the mouth.

“Can You Hear Us Now…?”That was the taunt, chanted by hundreds at the DC Tea Party. I took a few pics from the March that wouldn't end.

There comes a time when you're tired of holding it in. There comes a time when you don't care what people will think or say. There comes a time when someone has to say what many have to be thinking. People in this country were sold a bill of goods on Barack Obama. We were all told he was this "post racial" candidate that would bring the nation together. We were told to give the man a chance to heal the ethnic divides in this country. The problem is that from the beginning of his presidential candidacy (up to now),...

It must be nice to be in a party that does all they can to destroy their opposition’s candidate and then believes they have the mission to select the next sacrificial lamb. Kelly Ayotte, New Hampshire’s GOP rising star, is a folksy, gun-loving mother of two who has her eyes on a Senate seat. And, you betcha, she married a dude who puts Todd to shame. So why are Democrats spooked by a 41-year-old attorney general from New Hampshire? Maybe it’s because they’re worried Ayotte, with her budding star power and folksy charm, might actually be another Sarah Palin, a...

If “hate crimes” were declared on a more even basis, maybe the term (and its meaning) would be taken more seriously. But we live in a politically correct society that dictates that whites are always oppressors and minorities are always victims. Someone should explain that to Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian… On Saturday January 6, 2007 Hugh Christopher Newsom, age 23 and Channon Gail Christian, age 21, both students at the University of Tennessee went out on a date. They were driving in Channon’s Toyota 4-Runner when they were carjacked at gunpoint. Suddenly the crime turned far more savage than...

The Project 21 black leadership network, New York Times liberal columnist Paul Krugman Obama Must Condemn NY Times Race-Baiting Tactics, Black Group Says Washington D.C. — The Project 21 black leadership network is condemning New York Times liberal columnist Paul Krugman for scurrilously pinning racist motives on critics of President Obama’s health care proposals. The group is calling upon President Obama to condemn all efforts to derail legitimate public debate, specifically including this effort to stifle debate with race-baiting tactics. “Paul Krugman is the one with race on the brain,” Project 21 Chairman Mychal Massie charged. “Specifically, he is using...

Sarah Palin has been the target of the left from the very day she walked onto the public stage, and their venom continues on. The problem is, they don't like being exposed, and now that they've been, they're crying foul and one of the whiners has brought her issues to my door (via email)...

Was on at the top of the hour on the Gates/Obama fiasco.

This is not another "just words" moment. During a primetime press conference on the whole black-Harvard-scholar-being-racially-profiled-and-arrested-in-his-Cambridge-Massachusetts-home thing, President Obama said, "Well, I should say at the outset that Skip Gates is a friend, so I may be a little biased here. I don't know all the facts." This is where the president should have stopped and minded his own business, but the all-about-me man just couldn't contain himself... Now, I don't know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that. But I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us...
