Presidential Betrayal

Well, it appears that one of GWB's own has turned the tables on him. His tell-all book trashes the stories this administration has told us over the past eight years. The reasons for the war; the oil crisis, the economy....all B___ S___!. Now the spin crew is at it. Calling the man "disgruntled" and just falling short of calling him a liar. The real deal is that we as a people have been misled by our leaders in no uncertain terms. We need to read that book. The excerpts I have come across are very interesting. I will let you be the judge. Personally, I think we as a society need to wake up and not take everything this administration says at face value.

Global Tragedy; US trying to help, BUT WHAT ABOUT NEW ORLEANS?

The cyclone which hit Burma was devastating. The death toll is rising and will probably continue to do so for awhile. The Military Government is refusing aid from the US. Okay everyone is outraged and scrambling to get aid to those who so desperately need it. I still can't understand why New Orleans is still in turmoil after all this time. I was always taught charity begins at home. It's bad enough the response time was so ridiculously slow, but to scramble to ship billions overseas when we have so much unfinished business here is criminal. I am not saying do not help Burma, I am saying we need to take care of home!

HILLARY, WHAT ABOUT YOUR FORMER PASTOR?

Clinton Pastor convicted of child molestation:


It is clear that the Media is BIASED and has no intention of dealing with the truth. We have to expose these kinds of things ourselves.

IF A PASTOR IS KNOWN BY THE COMPANY THEY KEEP! When the Rev. William Procanick put his hand on the Bible during his sex-abuse trial in Oneida County Court earlier this year, he swore to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But as the former Clinton pastor was sentenced Friday to three years in prison for inappropriately touching a 7-year-old girl at his home last March.

Judge Michael L. Dwyer said Procanick sacrificed his honesty the day he testified. Okay, so now that Bill and Hillary Clinton's pastor has been convicted of child molestation, will we see the same furor directed at Hillary that Obama has had to endure these last few weeks IF A CANDIDATE IS KNOWN BY THE PASTOR THEY KEEP.................


Then you need to email this article to everyone you know. Here the CLINTON'S Pastor is convicted of child molestation.

So, if Obama bears the guilt for his pastor's comments, then Hillary has

to be equally tainted by this guy's crimes.

NOT JUSTICE; JUST US

After listening to the media reports about the Sean Bell murder trial, (or whatever that was), it has become obvious that "it's business as usual" when it comes to unarmed civilian deaths. A police officer will usually get a free pass, unless the situation is really, really outrageous. Not that this incident was not, but the victims did not matter to the judicial system in New York City. When was the last time a NYC police officer involved in the death of a civilian of color was successfully prosecuted and punished? Unfortunately, I cannot recall any. Stereotypical judgments leads to deadly decisions. Let's face it, NYC Cops shoot each other by mistake. Unfortunately, in most of those cases the victim was a person of color. There is a pattern here. If you are a male of color, you need to be very, very careful how you carry yourself in NYC. At best you could wind up lost in the NYC jail system for awhile. The worst was demonstrated in November of 2006 in Queens. Today culminated the tragedy because no one is to be held accountable. Only one officer attempted to apologize to the Bell family. The other two acted as if they were victims. There was definitely an absence of moral character there. The judge just shifted the responsibility of securing justice for the Bell family squarely in the lap of the Civil Court. The strategy of throwing money at the victim's family is a practice that stinks! Money is okay, but it will never bring closure to the family. Now, I must admit that all police officers are not like the three who were acquitted. They claimed they were in fear of their lives. I believe that, but why did it take them fifty (50) shots to realize they were really not in any danger? Well, all of us need to remember when it comes to situations like this, there's no real justice; there's JUST US!

THE VERDICT IS IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOT GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS!!!!!!!!!!! The police officers in the Sean Bell shooting have been acquitted. The judge did as expected, preserved the status quo of the NYPD. Do I believe this was the proper verdict? Not really... Yet, one has to take into account that the police will state they can not do their job effectively if they are in fear of prosecution. "Careless, not reckless" was the term the judge used along with his disbelief of prosecution witnesses including the victims. So, again as in previous high-profile shootings that ended in the death of unarmed people of color no one will be held accountable. I guess people of color are still paying for OJ. People of color unfortunately are reliving what has been going on for decades. We die and no one pays. Lately, the cities tend to throw money at the situations. The criminal aspect will be removed and there will be a "quiet" settlement of a civil nature. The more things change, the more things stay the same. So, I guess we have to wait and see what will happen. I will be back following post-verdict interviews.

More Bad News

Again I watch the news; again I get depressed! There doesn't seem to be any good news anywhere. Gas prices are already sky-high and rising steadily. The murder rate is ascending rapidly, and so is unemployment. All the manufacturing jobs are in other countries and the welfare rolls increase. New Orleans is still wrecked and a solution is beginning to seem unlikely. The lame duck president is continuing to be lame. Airline prices are going to increase by 20%. The election is haywire. Nothing but mudslinging but no solutions. Oh yes, the stimulus rebate package.....too little, too late. Well, stayed tuned to your local news....see how depressed you can get.
