Garfield High and Military Recruiters

Irony - Garfield High School students' parents use first amendment rights, that were fought for and paid for by the death of men in the military, to try to keep the military recruiters from talking to the students in the school.

Why do people play the race card?

Can you tell me why people pull the race card over things that make them look like a dumb crap...

Here is the story. A man has a gun, knife, and pitbull and crashes a baby shower in Bellevue, WA. Police arrive. He points the gun at them. They shoot him.

One of his friends claims that Bellevue police targeted him, because he was mixed race. WTF!?!?! When you point a gun at a cop you're gonna die, it has nothing to do with race.

STOP PLAYING THE RACE CARD!

Sorry, I normally do not get emotional like that, but my goodness... The man pointed a gun at the citizens at the party and the police. It was not because he was a threat to life, rather it was because he was a minority that the police shot him? Put down the crackpipe. Back away from the kids and get your tubes tied, because you don't need to be reproducing.

Here is the news article so you can read about it for yourself...

BELLEVUE -- Police shot and killed a 19-year-old Bellevue man Sunday night after he crashed a baby shower with a pit bull and started threatening people with a handgun and a knife.

The man was identified Monday night as Reginald Coleman II. An autopsy determined he died of multiple gunshot wounds, said an investigator for the King County Medical Examiner's Office.

The Death of Property Ownership

The supreme court made a ruling that I find to be curious. Private property can be taken by another private individual/corporation if the use would generate more tax revenue. The idea of eminent domain has been around since the Constitution was written. In the Bill of Rights, the fifth amendment says no person shall be "deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. "

So the thing is that the property can be taken for "public" use, but nothing is said about private use. A corporation would be a private use. Even if it is a shopping mall, it is private property. If it were used for a road, a park, or a government building, then that would be public. So I do not see how they could make such a ruling.

That brings into question the right to own property. I guess we should shy away from calling it ownership and change it to "stewardship". You can be the steward of the land you have your house on, but it can be taken away from you. If I owned it, I would have the ability to not sell if I did not want to, unless of course the fifth amendment would kick in. Well, that is the way it was. Today, I am afraid that some of the older neighborhoods where small houses on large pieces of property will soon go under the plow blade to put up larger houses on a postage-stamps sized piece of property.

I hope that congress will do something about this abuse of the eminent domain clause in the Bill of Rights.

Rossi is done

He just announced he will not seek to take the case any further. Because of this, I believe those who support him will remain supporting him. I think that he will remain in many peoples' positive attitude.

I wonder if he will go for the senate or if he will wait around until 2008 for then next shot at governor.

The verdict is in

The judge has found that Rossi and the Republicans could not prove the illegal votes changed the election. So therefore the illegal votes were legitimized by the ruling, and now the answer to the question of what to do about legal votes is to make them legal and countable as long as they get by the screening, but to subtract the number of the final total votes.

So when you look at the total votes for governor, it will be lower then when you add the number of votes of each of the candidates.

Non-Minority Only Scholarship.

A few years ago I found this exact text on the KOMO TV website. The only thing I changed was Minority to Non-Minority and I changed Non-White to White. You can see that people would be outraged with the way I changed it. This scholarship was changed from something any Liberal would be proud of to something that is a hatefilled piece of racism.

The Americans
By: Gordon Sinclair
Aired: June 5, 1973
CFRB, Toronto, Ontario Canada
Text From: http://www.cfrb.com/content/cfrb_information/archives/archives_americans_2.asp

The United States dollar took another pounding on German, French and British exchanges this morning, hitting the lowest point ever known in West Germany. It has declined there by 41% since 1971 and this Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least-appreciated people in all the earth.

As long as sixty years ago, when I first started to read newspapers, I read of floods on the Yellow River and the Yangtze. Who rushed in with men and money to help? The Americans did.

They have helped control floods on the Nile, the Amazon, the Ganges and the Niger. Today, the rich bottom land of the Misssissippi is under water and no foreign land has sent a dollar to help. Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy, were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of those countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.

When the franc was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it.

When distant cities are hit by earthquakes, it is the United States that hurries into help... Managua Nicaragua is one of the most recent examples. So far this spring, 59 American communities have been flattened by tornadoes. Nobody has helped.

The Marshall Plan .. the Truman Policy .. all pumped billions upon billions of dollars into discouraged countries. Now, newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent war-mongering Americans.

I'd like to see one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplanes.

Come on... let's hear it! Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tristar or the Douglas 10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all international lines except Russia fly American planes? Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or women on the moon?

You talk about Japanese technocracy and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy and you get automobiles. You talk about American technocracy and you find men on the moon, not once, but several times ... and safely home again. You talk about scandals and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everyone to look at. Even the draft dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are here on our streets, most of them ... unless they are breaking Canadian laws .. are getting American dollars from Ma and Pa at home to spend here.

When the Americans get out of this bind ... as they will... who could blame them if they said 'the hell with the rest of the world'. Let someone else buy the bonds, Let someone else build or repair foreign dams or design foreign buildings that won't shake apart in earthquakes.

When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both are still broke. I can name to you 5,000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble.

Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake.

Our neighbours have faced it alone and I am one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles.

I hope Canada is not one of these. But there are many smug, self-righteous Canadians. And finally, the American Red Cross was told at its 48th Annual meeting in New Orleans this morning that it was broke.

This year's disasters .. with the year less than half-over has taken it all and nobody...but nobody... has helped.
