The Hollywood Republican

As America approaches the one year anniversary of inaugurating it’s second negro President of the United States, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, 70, (D-Nev.) has been discovered as a racist in a new book titled “Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime” by Time magazine reporter Mark Halperin and New York magazine writer John Heileman. I can’t wait to read the whole book.

Exhibit A: Picture of the house that's white.

Now before you start branding me a racist, I know it’s very tempting for you Leftys because you can’t help your disease, I have actually confirmed The White House is  — white — and there is a — Negro — as president living in it.

Exhibit B: Picture of Negro that's the President of the United States.

Leftys: Reid’s Just An Old Man

Reid is reportedly quoted in “Game Change” as saying Obama could be elected president because he was a “light-skinned” black man “with no Negro dialect unless he wanted to have one.” God help our first “dark-skinned” black man with a “Negro dialect” elected president.

Not having grown up in Reid’s world, I’m not sure what a Negro dialect would sound like. I’ll have to take his word. I trust Democrats and poliopaths to tell me the truth.

The Leftys have come out in full force to apologize for Reid and excruciatingly have formed excuses for his remarks, much like a Cirque du Soleil performer would contort themselves. Let bygones be bygones is their advice.

Hilary Shelton, vice president of The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People reportedly said on national television the colored people’s association did not have an issue with Reid’s comments however, found them, “awkward but not offensive.” I can understand that line of reasoning since their boy is in The White House and they wouldn’t want to offend the white house Negro which they so desperately need.

Representative Barabara Lee, Chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, stated in a press release, Reid shouldn’t resign because, “Senator Reid’s record provides a stark contrast to actions of Republicans to block legislation that would benefit poor and minority communities – most recently reflected in Republican opposition to the Health Bill now under consideration.” I find those comments, at the very least, niggardness.

I’m not sure why this caucus isn’t called the Congressional Negro Caucus or Congressional Colored People’s Caucus. I’ve never been able to keep these labels straight, so I’ll have to defer to their labels. I trust them.

Al Sharpton (yes ‘that’ Al) on Fox’s Geraldo At Large, says … well, you’ll just have to see it for yourself.

I have two words for that negro man Sharpton: Tawana Brawley.

Oh, and where is our favorite colored boy — Jesse Jackson? I sure miss him. There certainly were plenty of opportunities in the last few days for his people to show up.

Have you figured it out yet?

Think hard you Leftys because I know Independents and Republicans have already figured it out.

Have you figured out why I, being a Republican, will be branded a racist for using the words ‘negro’ and ‘colored’ in this article however, Senator Reid can publicly use them and for the life of me ‘not’ be branded a racist?  Oh, that’s right. He’s a Democrat. And Republicans are racists.

The words negro and colored have a storied history in our country and others. But, don’t get so blinded you can’t think logically, America. Our great country has grown and survived longer than any other democracy in Earth’s history. We’ve done unspeakable things to each other and have triumphed above them all to great success.

Yes, I know the media outlets have had a field day with Reid’s comments. I could practically hear them jumping up and down here in Hollywood. If you checked the USGS I think it might have registered on the earthquake scales.

Reid is old and comes from another time. I’m not making excuses for him, he has to bear his own cross on this one. My grandfather would be known to say ‘colored boy’ when describing some kids of his youth. He was the patriarch of my family and didn’t have a racist bone in his body. He just came from a different time.

President Barrack Obama is my president, too. I could care less what he looks like. I want him to protect America and do a better job. My future depends on that path.

Let us evolve from different times, America, yet not forget our past.

“And this will be the day — this will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with new meaning:
My country ’tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim’s pride,
From every mountainside, let freedom ring!” Martin Luther King, Jr., August 28th, 1963

God bless that man for figuring it out.

Union thugs at UPS are attempting to monopolize the free market shipping business by having FedEx re-classified under federal law.

While the main stream media (MSM) focus on Ft. Hood and ObamaCare, a pending labor bill in Congress is being pressured by UPS to give them a free market advantage over FedEx by killing FedEx’s successful business model.

UPS is attempting to force its union thuggery and lobbying upon the House of Representatives’ version of the bill. The House version would force jurisdiction of FedEx employees into the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) from the current jurisdiction of the National Railway Labor Act (NRLA).

The NRLA (railway) original legislative intent was focused on preventing/minimizing strike actions in the railroad and airline transportation sectors. You see now? NRLA allows the workers to organize only if they vote to unionize, at the same time. This is the thug-barrier which has prevented unions from infesting FedEx, save for the approximately 5,000 unionized FedEx pilots.

What does this have to do with Grandma’s Christmas gifts?

Well, if UPS union thugs get their way, FedEx will be controlled by NLRA (you know, the labor union act) and escalate shipping costs of the Christmas presents you’re getting from Grandma.

Pre-Bill Passage: If you don’t get any presents from Grandma, refer your complaints to The North Pole. I’m certain FedEx flies there.

Post-Bill Passage: Blame UPS if the thugs win. Remember, unions gave millions and millions to the Democrats to get them in office.

The good people over at Reason.com have produced a video to explain the problem.

“UPS vs. FEDEX—Ultimate Whiteboard Remix” was produced by Meredith Bragg and Nick Gillespie, Editor In Chief (who also hosts video), Reason.com & Reason.tv

Unions want to control the free market

General Government Motors is a perfect example of how unions can kill a company. Without your tax dollars going to corporate welfare, unions would not have survived in the automaker sector.

“What it’s really about is equal treatment of drivers under the law. A driver is a driver is a driver.” Malcolm Berkley, a public relations manager for UPS based in Washington D.C.

This spokeshole claims approximately 50,000 FedEx drivers do not fall under the union-thuggery-grip of the NLRA (thug act) and these drivers are an ‘anomaly’ in the package delivery sector.

It’s called a better mouse trap!

It’s union code for ’scabs’. The unions want to infiltrate FedEx to control them because UPS wants to kill off FedEx’s better business model. What better way to infect a company by using governmental action? The unions bought off the Democrats and hope to buy this bill into law.

If you can’t beat them in the free market, pay off PolioPaths and pass a law to kill your competition.

Did you know UPS was employee (union) owned?

Oh, did you get any stimulus money? Or, were you a payee?

Thank The Leftys and the union thugs.

[Editor's Note: Our apologies to mice.]

Of all the arguments I love to have with my Lefty friends in Hollywood, the arguments of facts is my best and above all my favorite. I’m good at it. Damn good.

My Lefty friends have this aversion to facts like a crack addict has an aversion to going to rehab. Or, celebrity rehab.

CNN’s Daniel Irvin Rather School of Journalism provides such a foundation for my arguments that journalism is dead, has been dead and if, by chance, is still breathing — is on it’s death sidewalk. Sidewalks where crack addicts go to die.

Rick Didn’t Get Rolled — He Got Rushed

Rick Sanchez an anchor with CNN, some characterize as the ‘Communist News Network’, had colored Rush Limbaugh a racist because that is precisely what Sanchez wants you to believe — facts be damned. As old and tired as it gets, it’s still a common refrain from Leftys, one of calling all conservatives racists. That tag no longer bothers me. It only shows the ignorance of the Leftys.

The essence of a great magic trick is to deliver exactly what the magician’s audience was expecting.

Dan Rather absolutely abhorred President George W. Bush with or without the application of facts, hence Dan gave us RatherGate. Rick Sanchez absolutely abhors Rush Limbaugh, hence the fall enrollment period of CNN’s Daniel Irvin Rather School of Journalism.

So, Sanchez found it just tasty to quote from a book, “101 People Who Are Really Screwing America” by John Huberman (2006, p. 231). I bet Huberman is thankful for the bump in book sales now. To be fair, I have not read this book and it appears this quote is listed at page 231. Amazon has excerpts of the book available online yet, strangely, has blocked page 231. Sales gimmick? You decide.

Now here’s the twist in the story of how Rick got Rushed. From most accounts, Sanchez quoted from a column by Bryan Burwell, Sports Columnist at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

“Let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: Slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back. I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.” — Bryan Burwell, Sports Columnist St. Louis Post-Dispatch 10/14/2009

Burwell writes, he quotes from Huberman’s book. My belief is ‘if’ the quote exists, it is at page 231. Only a theory since Amazon has blocked online access to that page.

Now this is where I’ll give Sanchez a little professional slack. Just a little. News readers — anchors — have staffs. His staff should’ve used Journalism 101 techniques to verify any quote before it’s scripted and goes out over the air. Especially, something which has the propensity of starting a media war, not to mention a possible slander/libel suit from Limbaugh.

It took me approximately fifteen minutes to do a Lexus/Nexus and online search to sort out most of these details. Why couldn’t CNN flacks have done the same? They don’t want to. They believe what they want to believe.

Do you remember the fiasco CNN averted nearly reporting the death of George H. W. Bush on January 8th, 1992 went he got sick at a state dinner in Japan? A CNN producer had to rush the news reader live on air by yelling, “Stop! Stop!”

My theory? This is how it went down. Poor journalism techniques used by staff at CNN, who’re Leftys to begin with, lets Sanchez run with an unconfirmed quote from a sports guy who quoted a 2006 book bashing Limbaugh, unlike Rather who personally approved all content of his RatherGate.

You see? It didn’t matter — the facts — so long as Sanchez could stick it in Limbaugh’s eye or mic.

Rick’s Forced/Faked Apology

My theory? CNN lawyers said ‘we be gettin’ sued if ya don’t apologize live on the air’.

Hence the forced/fake apology …

SANCHEZ: Earlier this week, we provided quotes attributed to Limbaugh to illustrate why some people and players felt that he was too divisive to be a NFL owner. It was one of the stories we did earlier this week. One of these quotes, which was in a column in the St. Louis Post Dispatch, and taken from a book largely about conservatives, was refuted by Limbaugh. I mentioned that to you Tuesday. We have been unable to independently confirm that quote. We should not have reported it- not have reported it- without independent confirmation, and for that I apologize. I feel it’s important on this show to hold folks accountable whenever they make mistakes- that’s what I try to do- and you know what? That should include myself and that should also include my team. It’s important to let you know that. — NewsBusters.org

Notice how he blamed his staff and made it look like ‘he’ was falling on his sword — taking one for the team?

Here’s some ‘inside baseball’ er, ‘inside news media tricks’: CNN’s director fires off a sweeping graphic ‘just’ as Sanchez says, “I apologize.” That way, no other media outlet could use a clip with Sanchez on-camera saying, well, you know. I did not miss that one.

I wonder if Rush got an apology via the telephonic device?

Moral of the Story

Main stream media (MSM for you hip kids) knows the ole adage ‘people believe what they want to believe’. If they say it often and enough, people will believe it. MSM ‘makes’ the news; it doesn’t report it.

Unless you see someone on video un-censored — question the messenger.

President Barack Obama speaks to a joint session of Congress on health care at the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2009. Official White House Photo by Pete Souza

The President of the United States gave a speech yesterday to a joint session of Congress.

Well, actually I’d call it a ’sales pitch’ but the main stream media (MSM, if you’re Twitter-educated) calls it a speech. We’re so jaded as a country, I bet a majority of people didn’t even tune-in to watch.

Wait? I’m no longer in the majority so I guess I’m safe — I did watch. We’ll have to wait for the ratings to come in to see the results.

Wouldn’t it be great if America could vote on the presidential speeches via text messaging similar to American Idol? Now that would be a spectacle.

As far as presidential speeches fare, it was forty seven minutes with just about as many applause signs going off.

Oh, and ONE BIG LIE!

No, not the one big lie you’re thinking about but the one big lie shouted out by Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC). Yes, believe it or not the President of the United States (POTUS, if you’re Twitter-educated) actually had a heckler in the audience.

During the speech — sales pitch — President Obama said, “Now, there are also those who claim that our reform efforts would insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false. The reforms — the reforms I’m proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally.” Obama repeats ‘the reforms’ because a growl had developed from his left. No, not The Left but his left where the Republican side of the aisle sat.

Joe Wilson then reportedly shouts out, “That’s a lie!” You should’ve seen House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s head swivel. I think she’ll need some orthopedic surgery after I saw her head snap towards the Republican side.

Now to me, I think I heard him say, “Lie!”

Either way, I would opine Joe Wilson was expressing the sentiments, thoughts and feelings of a vast majority of Americans (not the majority who didn’t see the speech, who want you to pay their health care costs) but, rather the silent majority who have become silent no more. You know? The tea party activists. Your grand parents. Your parents. And even, dare I say — you.

The Bill — House Resolution 3200 “America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009″

SEC. 246. NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS.
Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.

I looked it up myself. The bill says it right there in plain English.

Uh, wait. What are ‘affordability credits’ and what does ‘lawfully present’ mean? If the representatives on the Democratic side of the House haven’t read the damn thing, what does this wording mean?

I got it! It depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is. You know? Is they be present lawfully in the ER using it as their primary care facility because their anchor baby is lawfully present. I knew I could figure this bill out.

Now you tell me with a straight face, Leftys, that if an anchor baby is a U.S. citizen, the Obamacare plan ‘will not’ under any circumstances provide for health care to their illegal parents, or even their entire family, blood line or no blood line?

I see you squirming.

Sarah Palin Strikes Again (and she wasn’t even in the D.C.)

“Some of people’s concerns have grown out of bogus claims spread by those whose only agenda is to kill reform at any cost. The best example is the claim, made not just by radio [Rush Limbaugh] and cable talk show hosts [FoxNews], but by prominent politicians [Sarah Palin] that we plan to set up panels of bureaucrats with the power to kill off senior citizens. Now, such a charge would be laughable if it weren’t so cynical and irresponsible. It is a lie plain and simple.” President Obama

Did he just call Sarah Palin out? Did he just call her a liar?

“If you misrepresent what’s in this plan, we will call you out,” Obama said. Well, I don’t misunderestimate Palin calling Obama out.

With the word ‘liar’ being thrown about last night, I was afraid someone in the House was going to get hit with a beer bottle like they do in South Korean’s chambers.

If former Governor Sarah Palin wasn’t in the House, isn’t holding an official political office and was able to drive the debate — through the President’s own words — she is a force not to discount.

She wins.

Do you want your health care decisions being made by Poliopaths? Partly or wholly? Can you sit there in your pajamas and tell me the government can’t run the U.S. Postal Service but can run a health care system — the largest in the world? I would answer a resounding, “NO!”

Notice Obama didn’t use the words ‘Death Panel’ as to give Palin credit. Or, did she get ‘affordability credit’? I’m confused.

Your Colon and Mammories

“And insurance companies will be required to cover, with no extra charge, routine checkups and preventive care, like mammograms and colonoscopies. Because there’s no reason we shouldn’t be catching diseases like breast cancer and colon cancer before they get worse. That makes sense. It saves money, and it saves lives.” President Obama

He’s right. Everyone should get a colonoscopy and mammogram. Actually, I think all Leftys should get a colonoscopy. Twice a month.

Now think about that. Let it sit in. How is it when everyone gets these screenings, we’ll all save money? It’s your tax dollars we’re talking about.

Remember. The Leftys want you to pay for their moral obligations to themselves and their families from your pocket book via increased taxes. Don’t think for a moment government won’t lower the tax boom when this Abamanation runs out of money.

As the song says, “This is the end.”

Real health care reform comes from tort reform.

Real health care reform comes from legislation which will allow doctors to practice medicine rather than defensive medicine in order to thwart law suits.

When your doctor stops seeing you as a potential law suit and starts seeing you as a patient — then and only then — will America have true health care reform.

Now take two OxyContin and read me in the morning.
