America under attack.

Imagine, if you will, armed Black Lives Matter protesters taking over a federal building in [choose your city and state ] America. The folks in the majority population would be livid and foaming at the mouth for action. "How dare they? This is America ,damn it. They cannot just circumvent our rules. We are a country of laws."

Anyway, like so many other things in America, not all protesters were created equal.

Up in the great Northwest (where my dear sister now resides), there are a bunch of armed militia folks taking on the federal government, and they have taken over a federal building and dared Uncle Sam and his minions to come and get them. (Is that a drone I am hearing in my dreams?)   

Among the group of armed lawbreakers is the son of  Cliven Bundy (Remember Him?), Ammon Bundy.  Ammon and his pals have settled in for the long haul, and they told CNN this morning that they will stay as long as they have to, and if the government tries to take them, they will do what is necessary to defend themselves. I wonder what exactly "what is necessary means". I can only guess.

Now these "patriots" are up in Burns, Oregon defending an arsonist who is wanted by the federal government for allegedly torching federal land. I personally think that five years is a little harsh for the old guy and his son, but hey, laws are laws. I have spent a great deal of my life in courtrooms both upholding the law and defending people who have been charged with breaking them. That said, this family in Oregon is not new to the rodeo. There are hundreds of thousands Americans cooling their heels in prison because of harsh prison sentences. 

"Ammon Bundy, an Idaho militia leader, said that while the occupiers were not looking to hurt anyone, they would not rule out violence if police tried to remove them, the Oregonian reported.

Bundy's brother Ryan Bundy, who is also an occupier, told the Oregonian that they're 'willing to kill and be killed' if necessary, adding that the federal officials' actions have been 'in violation of the constitution'. "

Oh yes, the Constitution, that important document that some people conveniently use for their benefit when necessary.

Here is hoping that these so called "patriots" will be hauled off to jail one by one and charged with breaking the law. If you are going to practice "civil disobedience" you must be civil. Just ask Martin Luther King, and Mahatma Gandhi. I didn't see any guns with the folks joining those two when they were protesting the wrongs of society. 

Do these lawbreakers pose a physical "threat" to America? Maybe not yet, but with every passing day that they are allowed to disregard the law, they become just as big a threat as those terrorists who shot up that regional center in San Bernardino, California this past December.

Niger and Raynard speak from the house.

There are some Negroes in America that I will never understand. And for those of you who say that I rip some of these slave catching conservative Negroes because they are republicans, I say nothing could be further from the truth.


I happen to respect some black conservatives---- my man Lenny McAllister comes to mind---- And I have blogged about republicans of color who are putting in work in the hood in the past, and believe me; if more of these conservative Negroes out here were like that, I would be praising them as well.


Sadly, though, we have to deal with Negroes like Niger Innis. (Yes, that's really his name.) This dumb Negro wants the world to know that Cliven Bundy is not a racist. How does he know? Well apparently Mr. and Mrs. Bundy had him over for milk and cookies, and after feeling his hair to see if it was really coarse, they declared to him that he is one of the good Negroes....Ok, the patting on the hair part didn't happen, but it's not such a stretch to say that it could have.


"Niger Innis, a former Herman Cain adviser and frequent Hannity guest, is currently running to represent Nevada’s 4th congressional district, which just happens to be the home of Cliven Bundy’s disputed ranch. At an event Saturday, Innis offered up a strong defense of Bundy, saying that contrary to popular opinion, the rancher is not “racist at all.”


As he made his way to the podium, Innis embraced Bundy, who was seated to his right as he delivered some brief remarks. He described how he met Bundy in the midst of his tense stand-off with the federal government over unpaid grazing fees. After charming the crowd in attendance with a story about how Bundy’s wife insisted on serving him a sandwich, Innis turned more serious.


“This is the game the media is going to play with us to distract from the real issue, which is that the federal government has too much control over Nevada’s land,” Innis said. “They will try to distract, with the firestorm that Cliven started by using the r-word, the racism word.”


“I can only tell you my experience with the Bundys,” he continued. “Having eaten with them and broken bread with them and I don’t consider Cliven or his wonderful family racist at all. Period, end of story.” {Source}


Lord have mercy!


As bad as ole Niger was, this other Negro might be even worse. His name is Raynard Jackson. (Maybe these Negroes became angry conservatives because of all the teasing they got for their names as children. Raynard?!)


Anyway, here is what Raynard had to say:


"Black women constantly complain about the dearth of “eligible” Black men to date and marry.  Noted sociologist William Julius Wilson has argued that “the increasing levels of non-marriage and female-headed households is a manifestation of the high levels of economic dislocation experienced by lower-class Black men in recent decades.”


He further argued that, “When joblessness is combined with high rates of incarceration and premature mortality among Black men; it becomes clearer that there are fewer marriageable black men relative to black women who are able to provide the economic support needed to sustain a family.”


Then you add in the unfortunate increase in homosexuality within the Black community and you have a recipe for disaster.


This is why Black men need more White women like Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham.  Even though they are conservative media personalities, they have done more to promote the well-being of Black males than many of the very women who stridently complain about the lack of “eligible” Black men.
Coulter is a friend and I find her comments regarding the Black community very insightful.  Look at what she said two years ago on “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.” She said, “Groups on the left, from feminists to gay rights groups to those defending immigrants, have commandeered the Black civil rights experience.”


She continued, “I think what – the way liberals have treated Blacks like children and many of their policies have been harmful to Blacks, at least they got the beneficiary group right. There is the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow laws. We don’t owe the homeless. We don’t owe feminists. We don’t owe women who are desirous of having abortions, but that’s — or — or gays who want to get married to one another. That’s what civil rights has become for much of the left.”


Stephanopoulos asked, “Immigrant rights are not civil rights?”  Coulter responded, “Civil rights are for Blacks…what have we done to immigrants?  We owe Black people something…We have a legacy of slavery.  Immigrants haven’t even been in this country.”


Earlier this year, she said, “I mean my whole life I’ve heard Republicans hate Black people, I’ve never seen any evidence of it until I read Marco Rubio’s amnesty bill. We are the party that has always stood up for African-Americans.  Who gets hurt the most by amnesty, by continuing these immigration policies it is low-wage workers, it is Hispanics, it is Blacks.”


I don’t know Ingraham personally, but I like what she had to say last month about Democrats and Blacks.


“[Congressman] Steve Israel is reprehensible in what he said [on alleged racism in the Republican Party]…Nancy Pelosi, throw her into the ring [for similar comments]…I say this is a race to the bottom…The Democrats have failed the Black youth in this country with their terrible economic approach. Do we call that racist?


“…They turn their heads away from the millions upon millions of Black babies slaughtered in the womb over 10 years… Is that racist?…Is it racist that they allow inner cities to continue to crumble as families decay across the board in America – especially hard hit is African-American families…It is reprehensible and it’s all about November…This is not about ‘They care about Black people.’ They care about their majority eroding away.”


So, let me make sure I understand.  Black women complain about the state of “eligible” Black males to date and marry, yet they support the policies of a president who is going to make the problem much worse" {Source}


The title of Raynard's post was "Why Black Men Need More White Women".


Nuff said.

The right has a slavery problem.

"America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known." ~Pat Buchanan~


What is with these clowns on the right and all the slavery references? They seem fascinated with the institution of slavery these days. There is no doubt in my mind that they long for those good old days when slavery was all the rage. (Yes, even the Negro conservatives, because they were in the house with Massa.)


Is it any wonder that given this type of rhetoric, our welfare cowboy friend, Cliven Bundy, felt so comfortable declaring that under slavery black folks had it better? The right was even angry at the movie, 12 Years A Slave; because they thought that it portrayed slavery in a negative light. Think about that for a minute. I mean how else are you going to portray slavery?


Anyway, the latest idiotic and ignorant pronouncement comes from none other than my old friend, Angela McGlowan, the former "beauty queen" who is probably even more clueless than Sarah Palin.


“Dealing with Lincoln and Barack Obama, you do have a slave mentality today,” she said. “Even though we had the LBJ Great Society, we have a people enslaved on the government dole, where we have people paying for people to have more kids out of wedlock, paying for more people to go to prison instead of getting a job.”


“So we do have a problem with slavery today, as Lincoln did back in the day, even with LBJ’s policies,” McGlowan continued. “Because you have certain people that want Obama phones, free phones, free food stamps, and the whole nine yards!” [Source]


Did you get that? She said "free food stamps", as opposed to the ones you have to pay for. What an idiot! And "a problem with slavery today"? The only problem we have with slavery today is that some folks believe that it should come back.


Angela, I honestly can't wait for those "slaves" to storm the big-house on the plantation that you are living on.

The Bundy two step.

So Cliven Bundy finally went off on "the Negro". The poor guy just couldn't keep his racist and bigoted views hidden any longer. It was just a matter of time before his views about "the Negro" became public. Of course we "Negroes" knew how he felt all along. We know exactly where guys like this are coming from.


Now let's see how FOX News and all his apologist picks at all the fleas from lying down with this racist deadbeat and tax cheat.


The guy owes the government over a million dollars and has the nerve to say that it is "Negroes" who are getting over on the government. Unbelievable!


Anyway, as is to be expected, some republicans and right wing-nuts are already distancing themselves from a man they were calling a "patriot" just a few days ago. (BTW, I love how Glenn Beck called out Bundy but embraced a similarly bigoted and ignorant, Phil Robertson.)


You have to love it; because nothing scares a racist more than another racist revealing what they really believe, publicly.


"Conservative media titan Sean Hannity, formerly one of Nevada rancher Clive Bundy’s strongest advocates, expressed his vehement disgust Thursday with the latter’s remarks on slavery


Bundy’s comments “are beyond repugnant to me. They are beyond despicable to me. They are beyond ignorant to me,” Hannity said during his radio show.
He then turned his anger toward Democrats who would use Bundy’s comments to attack conservatives.


“They want to say that conservatives are racist. Conservatives hate women,” Hannity said. “Conservatives want old people to die, granny over the cliff. They want the young people to fend for themselves. They want to poison the air and poison the water.”


“People that for the right reasons saw this case as government overreach now are branded because of the ignorant, racist, repugnant, despicable comments of Cliven Bundy,” he said.


After playing a clip of Bundy trying to clarify what he meant, Hannity said: “Just turn it off. I don’t want to hear it anymore. It’s obnoxious, ignorant.”  


Oh what a difference a day (and some daylight) makes.

The lawbreaking Rancher and his anarchist friends.

Cliven Bundy is an anarchist and lawbreaker who should be arrested and thrown in jail. He has been illegally trespassing on federal land with his cattle since the nineties and now he owes over a million dollars to Uncle Sam.


He refuses to pay it. He is wrapping himself around the flag, and thanks to FOX News  and right wing pundits he has been praised in some circles as a true American patriot.


Why? He is no different than the "welfare cheat" who gets food stamps for children that he or she does not have, or who gets cash assistance from the department of welfare while working under the table.


Saturday he was surrounded by tea party types, nut job militiamen, and white supremacists, while he dared the federal government to come and take his cattle.


Well they should, and if some of these losers masquerading as patriots get hurt in the process well then so be it. You can't just shake your d^*k at the law and expect to get away with it. If you give these anarchist an inch they will want a yard.


The welfare rancher has already exhausted all of his legal remedies, and the court has ruled against him. But still, he refuses to obey the law and pay his fines. I mean the guy declared that he doesn't recognize the federal government for crying out loud. (At least not this version of it with the Negro in charge.)


"They have faith in the Constitution," he told KDWN-AM in Las Vegas on Monday. "The founding fathers didn't create a government like this."


They didn't expect American citizens to steal from their government, either.


Unfortunately, that is what Mr. Bundy is doing.
