As America loses her nobility and becomes more and more feminized, relativistic, soft and wishy-wishy, she is becoming more and more of an APPEASER and an ENABLER of the base, ignoble mentalities here and abroad.
America today is just like an emotionally immature battered wife who STUPIDLY thinks she "deserves it".
These "batterers and looters" have sent their representatives to Durban SA. Paul Weyrich exposes their "true colors" here:
Their True Colors By Paul M. Weyrich
Once upon a time there was such a concept as loyalty to one's country. Once upon a time everyone understood that America is less than perfect but she is better than any alternative. Once upon a time members of Congress would not go abroad and criticize their own government while on other shores. During the Vietnam war there were plenty of members of Congress who were vehemently opposed to the war but who did not say so when attending international conferences.
But that was then and this is a United Nations Conference against Racism in Durban, South Africa. Seven members of the Black Caucus were in attendance. The Associated Press quotes Representative Diane Watson, the California Democrat, as telling the assembled worldwide delegation that "America is a racist state." Rep. Bernice Johnson of Texas said that reparations were necessary before her people could move on. She said that the government promised freed slaves "40 acres and a mule" but they never received any of it. Veteran Rep. John Conyers of Michigan said that he hopes to be able to put together a conference on reparations in the United States next year. Rep. Cynthia McKinney, the Georgia Democrat, invited the United Nations to investigate the criminal justice system in the United States as well as capital punishment. She cited statistics showing how much more frequently Black people get convicted of a crime and actually serve jail time than whites.
And so it went. Even the Rev. Jesse Jackson conceded that the United States has made progress in civil rights over the past 40 years. But he said that while the system of legal apartheid had been conquered, economic apartheid had not.
Forgive me, I know I have no right to speak on the matter because I am not Black, but I will anyway. I think it is downright un-American for these members of Congress to say what they have said at an international conference. The Bush Administration elected not to send Secretary of State Colin Powell to the Conference because a draft set of resolutions prepared for consideration by delegates condemns Israel as a racist state. It will be interesting to see how our members of Congress vote on that one. They probably will join leftists everywhere in a show of solidarity on the Israeli question.
If they want to hold that point of view in this country, that is their privilege. If they want to push the demented concept of reparations over here, let them. But to stand up before the world and say these things about their own country is truly reprehensible.
Right now there is an election underway in Zimbawe, the former Rhodesia. President Robert Mugabe, in order to stay in power, is sanctioning a campaign of terror against the few white farmers who remain there. Any Blacks seen aiding whites are subject to torture, mutilation, even death. Compared with Blacks in this country who are free to pursue the American dream, Blacks who dissent in Zimbawe literally put their lives on the line. I don't think the delegates from Zimbawe are going to stand up and accuse their government of racism, unless they are planning to defect. Even then they wouldn't be safe.
Mugabe's henchmen would no doubt track them down and have them silenced. Half of Africa is torn up by racially-motivated civil war. In some cases the government in control is exercising genocide against minority tribes. You won't hear that discussed at this United Nations conference.
Of all the outrageous remarks made by these members of the Black Caucus, however, Cynthia McKinney's comments about criminal justice take the prize. The United States has the fairest legal system in the world. We bend over backwards to give criminals a more than fair trial. Prosecutors will tell you how hard it is to obtain a conviction even in the face of overwhelming evidence. In some parts of the Black community, so-called jury nullification is underway. By that process, the guilty are set free just because of their race.
I know, in the eyes of these people I am a racist. But you know what Cynthia? More Black people get arrested and serve time in jail because more Black people commit crimes. That has a lot more to do with the total breakdown of the Black family than it has to do with race. But somehow it is easier to point the finger at others than to accept responsibility for what happens at home.
These members of the Black Caucus owe decent Americans, including their own middle class, an apology. And if they seek to attend any more international meetings in an official capacity, the House Leadership should deny them the funds to do so unless they agree in advance not to attack this country.
Right. That will be the day, won't it?
Paul Weyrich is president of the Free Congress Foundation. BTTT
I still shoot looters! What's the problem?
I don't give-a-shit if the ratio is 10:1, black:white, the motherfarcker coming past my front door is a dead person!
Do you really expect the cops to protect y'all?...FRegards
The Congressional Black-Caucus consists of 100% avowed and proud members of the Socialist Party. Their constituency has been duped, and will remain so, as long as the Liberal-Socialist-DemocRAT (aka, the LSD) Party, keeps "their folk" dumbed down and serfs on the big government plantation.
Best FReegards....see'ya on the cruise.
