Left Only Tolerant Of Those On The Plantation

The liberal Democrat party in America claims to be tolerant. It has rewritten history to ignore or change the fact that the Democrats supported slavery and were anti civil rights. The left has brainwashed generations of minorities into believing that only the liberal establishment loves them, cares for them, and will help them.

Until the day after Election Day. Then, those minorities get some “goodies” to placate them and they are pushed into the background and regaled with stories about how wonderful liberals have always been to the minorities. We love you women, you blacks, you Hispanics, and you gays. We are there for you now vote for us and shut up.

The left keeps harping on how tolerant it is but the reality is that the left is only tolerant of those who stay on the plantation.

The left loves blacks unless the blacks are conservatives. Then the real racism rears its ugly head and the racial slurs begin. Women, the liberals love you and will defend you unless you are conservative and then no liberal organization INCLUDING NOW will defend you. Gays, we love you and want you to have everything you want unless you happen to be a conservative. Then you are a turncoat who needs to be assaulted. Gay conservatives can be assaulted and will not be held up as examples of intolerant bullying like a Matthew Shepard was.

Intolerant liberals do not believe they can ever be guilty of racism, hate crimes or intolerance because they claim not to be. They claim it so it must be true.

A gay TV star named Taylor Garrett can tell us all about intolerance. He happens to be a Republican and conservative. According to Garrett, he was recently targeted by the so called tolerant left, because he is conservative. Garrett was beaten by a man who Garret discovered defacing his car. Some thug was scratching a vulgarity aimed at Ann Coulter whom Garrett was supposed to meet with to discuss gay marriage and to show that just because you do not support it (like Coulter) does not make you a bigot.

Garrett confronted the man who was scratching the words into his car and was assaulted.

How dare this guy stray from the plantation? Does he not know that the liberals own him along with the others who have been enslaved?

The violence of the Occupy crowd, the violence of the left toward TEA Party members, the racist remarks by the left, and the attacks on gays and blacks who happen to be conservative are examples of the intolerance toward those who do not follow the orthodoxy of the left. The violence is even more pronounced when the person involved is of a protected class the liberals have claimed as their property.

Truth be told, the liberal establishment is only mildly tolerant of those who remain on the plantation. As long as they know their place they are tolerated. The ones who stray get whipped by the liberal taskmasters. Those who leave the plantation get pummeled.

You just don’t see that coming from conservatives. We fought to end slavery so we don’t think we own anyone or are entitled to own anyone.

The left, on the other hand, considers them bought and paid for.

Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Supreme Court Decides What We Already Knew

The fact that the Second Amendment is an individual right is indisputable except to lefties who have trouble understanding what the words “The People” and “shall not be infringed” mean. These are the same folks who refuse to believe in individual rights even though the Founders clearly stated such in their writings.

The issue changed to one of applicability to the states once the left lost its battle against individual rights. Then the issue became, well sure it applied in DC but that is not a state. It does not apply to the states.

The SCOTUS cleared that all up today with a decision that overturned a lower court ruling and remanded the issue back. The SCOTUS, in a 5-4 decision, ruled that the Second Amendment applies to the states and that is because of the Fourteenth Amendment. For a long time the Fourteenth was not considered to apply to the states but that changed a half century or so ago and decisions have been reached that made the Bill of Rights (with exceptions to some portions) apply to the states. This idea is what allowed abortion to become legal and forced the states to comply. If the rights spelled out in the Constitution did not apply to the states then the Court could not have ruled that abortion was legal because it would be a federal, and only a federal, issue. This ignore the fact that abortion is not a right and is indicated only because it is “settled” law where the right was somehow found.

The Second was never considered though thinking people knew that it was included in the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth; “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.” Which, as an aside, means the Arizona cannot violate Due Process since illegals are NOT citizens of the United States. But that is an issue for another time.

Interestingly but not surprising, gun grabbers are vowing to basically ignore the ruling issued today. Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago has vowed that his city will enact a new law soon that will prevent people from getting guns. This amounts to ignoring the law and is typical for Alinsky progressives. If the courts don’t rule your way then just ignore them. After all, this is what the Obama regime is doing with the drilling moratorium. They have vowed to ignore the court and issue a new moratorium.

How long will they do this before WE THE PEOPLE, decide to ignore the rules they come up with?

As for Daley, he is a first class slug and a hypocrite. While Daley does not believe that the people should be allowed to have guns, his aldermen are allowed to carry them. Richard Daley has about a dozen body guards on his detail and all of them are armed. Why is it that a person who works for the people of Chicago can have armed guards to protect him but will not allow the people to be armed to protect themselves.

No politician is any more important than the lowest in our society because even that person is the employer of the politician. I have little problem with presidents having armed security. Our enemies would love to attack a president and kill him. Other politicians are not that important and their demise would not cause turmoil in this country.

Think about it. If Richard Daley was killed by a would be criminal, would Chicago be in turmoil? No, they would replace him with another corrupt politician and keep on going. But Daley does not have to worry about that because he deems himself more important than the people who pay his salary. He is so against the people for whom he works that he will enact a law to keep people from getting guns because he knows better than our Founders, our Supreme Court and YOU.

Daley has no worries because his armed guards go with him even when he travels out of state. One of Daley’s armed guards caught an escaped criminal near the family vacation spot in Michigan while Hizzoner and the family were there. If you or I had been there we might well have been victims of the criminal.

I have a real problem with people like Daley, politicians who feel they are more important than the average folks and who deserve more protection. And the people are not even asking for taxpayer funded security. All we want is the ability to defend ourselves. This goes for people like Barack Obama who would love to ban guns and put more people in danger because average citizens are much more likely to be victims of crime than most politicians, particularly a president.

The Supreme Court put an end to the idea that the Second Amendment does not apply to the states today and it should be as sacrosanct to liberals as the issue of abortion. If it is settled law then let it be settled and let the people have their guns.

The opinion is a good read and in it Justice Scalia excoriates Justice Stevens as well he should. Stevens (and Breyer) ignore US history and the words of the Founders in their opinion and rely on the actions of other nations as well as their liberal views. Even though the facts are completely spelled out with historical references as to what keeping and bearing arms meant (and still means), these two ignored the facts and presented the progressive view. Justices should provide a legal view, not a political one.

How nice for the dress down of Stevens to be in the record for all time and to be issued on his last day on the Court. As Scalia put it (after destroying Stevens’ arguments):

In a vibrant democracy, usurpation should have to be accomplished in the dark. It is JUSTICE STEVENS’ approach, not the Court’s, that puts democracy in peril.

While today marks a victory for Americans and for freedom one thing is overshadowed. There are four Justices who voted against the Constitution and against the long history of this matter. They voted with the legacy of the Democrats in the south who made gun control laws that applied to blacks in order to control them.

These progressive liberals perpetuate that desire to enslave the citizenry in this nation. And this time they want to enslave all of us, regardless of color.

One last note. Any politician who is in favor of gun control and/or denies people the right to keep and bear arms should not be allowed to own or carry a gun and should NOT receive armed guards.

If you believe that there should be NO guns then there can be none for you. That goes for Obama, Daley and all the other hypocrites who think they are more important than we who employ them.

UPDATE: After the Heller decision Mayor Daley predicted all hell would break loose. That has not happened and gun crime in DC has dropped to pre gun ban levels.

Never surrender, never submit.

Sharpton; Obama’s Conduit To The Streets

Al Sharpton is evidently the person to whom blacks in the poulation go with their concerns regarding Barack Obama’s treatment of black folks. Looks like there is a feeling among blacks that Obama is not doing enough for them. The feeling is that he is black and he should be doing more to help blacks.

When did Obama become the leader of only the black segment of society?

As leader of our country he is obligated to carry out his duties without regard to a person’s color. He is the leader of all Americans (I use leader to describe his job position, not necessarily his ability) and therefore must look out for all of us. Sharpton is the “lightning rod” for the concerns of those on the street:

Amid a heated national debate over whether black leaders should align themselves with the president, Sharpton has defended Obama against criticism from television host Tavis Smiley that “black folk are catching hell” and Obama should do more to help them.

Black Americans, Sharpton said, “need to solve our own problems.” Yahoo News

Mr. Smiley (how is that for a name) needs to understand that a lot of people are “catching hell” regardless of color and whatever the government does needs to benefit people of all colors.

I know that many black folks thought Obama was going to swoop in and they would not have to worry about paying for their houses or their gas and that many think health care will be free (the bill will help more blacks, after all) but the reality is he can’t do all those things and his obligation is to right the ship for all of us.

But Sharpton was spot on when he said blacks need to solve their own problems. Too bad he only has this opinion when a black guy is in the White House.

But maybe we can ask Kanye West if Barack Obama hates black folks. That was the feeling when it was perceived that Bush did not do much to help the poor folks affected by Katrina. Obama is half white so maybe that “racist” half is causing him to neglect the blacks.

Sharpton is his conduit to the people on the street.

We The People will be his conduit to the street in 2012.

Never surrender, never submit.

More Code Words For Racism

It never ceases to amaze me that people who belong to a group that is voting for the black guy at a greater than 90% clip will call others racist when many of them are only voting for him because of his color. These people (racist code) have been playing race cards for months and they have been talking about “code” words that mean something racist. Now two idiot Congressmen are playing the race card with regard to Sarah Palin.

Gregory Meeks and Ed Towns of New York are saying that Palin’s assertion that Obama is not one of us was racist code. I think she made it clear that he is not like us as in true American Patriots because he pals around with terrorists. But leave it to the race baiting poverty pimps to inject race into an issue. These lunkheads also said that [McCain/Palin] “they” (?racist code) know they can’t win on the issues so they resort to race and fear. Is that so?

Good, then it is fair to say that the blacks supporting Obama have no way to defend him and his association with terrorists and radicals so they resort to playing the race card. These jackasses don’t need to play games with these “code” words, they can just come out and play the race card. I told you months ago that the entire Obama campaign would be based on being the victim of racism. We have seen it in the news stories and we have seen it from Obama himself. Everything is about race.

I think that since black people are voting for Obama at a greater than 90% rate they are racists. I also believe that Obama is a terrible person who has questionable friendships and that he is a Communist. I do not agree with any position he holds and I think he will be a disaster if white people are shamed into voting for him because of some guilt trip about the past. I don’t care what color he is, I don’t like his policies.

For you white folks who are guilt tripping and thinking about voting for Obama, vote for him if you agree with him not because someone will accuse you of being a racist. But, you have every right not to vote for him because he is black. It makes you no different than those who will vote for him just because he is.
