Its getting harder and harder not to be Racist.  I have worked hard my adult life not to be drug into the darkness of Racist ideologies, giving everyone an equal chance to prove their character to me.  I have tried to treat each and every person I meet the same, not taking into consideration the color of their skin.  I have my friends who are Mexican, who are Black.  But as I listen to more and more rhetoric about white Americans being “the enemy” and about putting the “enemy” in boxes (Coffins), I am finding the existence of groups like the KKK and the Aryan Nations more and more necessary to protect me from the supporters of the New Black Panthers and radical La Raza members.

Al Sharpton held a counter-rally to Glenn Becks on Saturday, August 28th.  It was supposed to be a rally commemorating the Martin Luther King “I have a dream” speech, but instead of voicing King’s desire to end judgement based on color of skin, he had people speaking that were calling White Americans the enemy, and talking about how they needed to be putting their enemy in boxes (killing white people).

I’m sorry, but things have not improved with the election of the first Black President of the United States.  They have gotten worse.  It appears that we have elected a man who shares the racist opinions of Al Sharpton, of the vocal leaders of the New Black Panther Party, and of the more racist appearing NAACP.  We (white Americans) were told that the election of Obama would improve Race relations, and all I have seen in the past 18 months was a deterioration of sanity within the Liberal and Black Communities.

President Obama, you are supposed to represent ALL Americans, not just the Americans of color.  You are suppose to lead us into a better future, to work towards the safety of all Americans, to make this nation strong.  You have not managed to accomplish anything but being blamed for the growing division.  Maybe its time that you stand up and say that enough is enough, that racism from all people must stop, and you must mean it.

For I fear the pendulum’s swing.  And when it swings, we may find ourselves looking at a future that none of us wanted for our children or ourselves.

Those of us who read the Bonehead Awards off of Google saw a recent article where the City of Philadelphia is charging any one who has a blog, and that blog my earn any money, a fifty dollar per year Blog Tax.  That’s right.  It makes no difference if you make money or lose money, you’re expected to pay this tax.  They say it protects you from paying city income tax up to $100,000, but as the article states,  if you’re making that kind of money off of your blog, they are probably going to declare you have the wrong license and charge you even more.  Yes, some bonehead on the East Coast, probably a Democrat, came up with that one.  But wait, we have our own stupidity going here now!

Mission Kansas.  Home owners are looking at a new tax that will cost them $72 per year, and a possible $65k per year for a business like Target.  This “Driveway” Tax is believed to be one of the first in the Midwest and it is being met with businesses claiming that it could cost jobs and encourage companies to MOVE out of Mission Kansas.

But, wait, it gets better!  The Public Schools are not exempt from the Tax, and they are saying that they may have to raise their School Levies to pay for the additional taxes.  That means you can stack more money on top of the Driveway tax, and you know that businesses are going to raise prices.  Nice work dumbasses.  Right now, when people are struggline, when unemployment is at an unreasonable high, you’re raising the cost of products because you can’t tighten your belts and work out a better solution, like cutting unnecessary expenses.

Hey, do something that won’t increase the cost of products.  How about repealing the tax exemptions on the Churches.  They want to have an influence on the political direction of this country, let them pay taxes like the rest of us.”

Yeah, like that will happen…

Yes!  Something to talk about other than the dumbass stuff that the liberals and democrats are doing!  I’m a little late, apparently the announcement was made back in June, but the Kansas City Brigade Arena Football Team will be back in 2011!  Yes!  Arena Football returns to Kansas City!  (a couple of minutes to celebrate, then its time to get serious)

So, reading the notice on the Kansas City Brigade Web Site, I see that we are still going to be at Sprint Center.  Sigh.  I was really hoping that the Brigade would realize the mistake of Sprint Center and return to Kemper.  There were a lot of complaints regarding the games at Sprint, starting off with the lack of handicap parking.  Then there is the fact that there is NO PLACE TO TAIL GATE – BOOOOOOOO.  That is antagonized by the fact that Standard Parking raises the prices of Parking around Sprint Center three to four times the normal rate, and all FREE parking in downtown Kansas City has been taken away.  I seem to remember that there was supposed to be Free Parking associated with the Kansas City Power & Light project and Sprint Center…. hmmm ….

Then came the perks.  The cost of being at Sprint took away a lot of perks, and I’m sorry, but the seats in the upper deck are nowhere near the same as the seats at Kemper in the upper deck.  They are a lot more cramped and they are a complete set of suites higher.  And the claim that there are no bad seats at Kemper, well that’s crap.

Have I revisited all my complaints about moving to Sprint Center yet?

So, let’s talk about the team.  I know, what team?  Well, the web site has announced that Kevin Porter will be back as the Brigade Coach.  Sigh.  That didn’t work last time, so why are we trying it again?  And will the team be farmed out to the ungrateful clubs across the street in the KCP&L District instead of at the arena signing autographs as was the case the last year we had a team here?  There were a lot of people that were very upset with the shaft that the fans and Season Ticket holders were getting from the team after moving to Sprint Center.

And then there is the talk that the Kansas City Brigade may not be the Brigade.  I have come across a discussion on another site that is saying that the team is considering changing their name.  They are keeping their logo and their tema colors, but we could find that all of our Brigade gear no longer applies … hmmm … I like the name myself.

And of course, we can’t forget that this will trigger the return of the KC Flight Crew lead by the assortment of interesting characters such as “Slasher”, Captain Brigade, Stryker, and the Fred Heads.  Yes, I know, I didn’t mention Big Dog and Scott, but it just didn’t seem right putting their names in with the others who, to be frank, are a little off the deep end at times.  More about them at my KC Arena Football Blog.

Its a long time until we start seeing a lot more information about the KC … whatever.  Until then, its sit back and wait for the marketing team to start calling former season ticket holders again.

Setting aside all of the Liberal and Socialist Agendas that she has supported, setting aside the statement that she made during the complaints that no one knew what was in the Health Care Bill they wanted passed (we need to pass this bill so we can see what’s in it), and putting aside her absolutely dumbfounding statement that her favorite word is “The Word” followed by her stumbling all over herself trying to explain it.  Speaker of the House could hold top honors for being a MAJOR dumbass for her latest.  Nancy Pelosi wants to investigate who is being the funding of the opposition to the Mosque being built near Ground Zero.

Pelosi told KCBS is San Francisco yesterday that she joins “those who have called for looking into how is this opposition to the mosque being funded.” She added: “How is this being ginned up?”

In a follow-up statement today on the project – an Islamic cultural center that includes a mosque called the Cordoba House that would be built two blocks from the site of the Sept. 11 attacks – Pelosi said the location of the project is a “local decision,” though “the freedom of religion is a Constitutional right.” (CBS News)

There are places that Governments should no intrude, and the attempt to intimidate those who are exercising their right to oppose the placement of a Mosque within the hallowed ground of Ground Zero.

No, I do not support what some are considering an act of discrimination against Muslims.  I personally don’t see a problem with the placement of the Mosque.  I do not believe that it will foster understanding and community with the people of New York City by placing it there, and there are a lot of moderate Muslims that agree.  But this is a matter of the people of the community and their right to act through the Zoning Board Discussions.

But (D) Nancy Pelosi wants to intimidate those who are speaking out against the Mosque.  What other reason would there be to look into who is funding the opposition.  That is Un-American.

By the way, Freedom of Religion as given by the Constitution does not guarantee anything other than NON-INTEFERENCE by Congress.  Dumbass.

The Smoking Gun has provided us with a snippet of the Sheryl Crow concert tour rider, a list of item that touring musicians request to be in their dressing rooms and provided for their entourage.  Now, there are some eccentric people out on the road, but this list of ‘demands’ at times is a little over the top.  In fact, it qualifies her for the term Environmental Wacko.

As a part of her rider is an Environmental Impact section.  In this section, she calls for the promoter to replace all the standard light bulbs with the new, more environmentally unfriendly CFR bulbs.  She is calling for ALL the toilet paper in the arena to be replaced with Recycled Paper Toilet Paper.  Then there is the list of luxury items from food to drink, to wanting the promoter to pay $350 per bus.

Now, I would understand if Sheryl Crow was Amy Lee of Evanescence or some top tear performer such as Elton John.  But Sheryl Crow is one of those names that most of us only remember when someone brings something up, like this act of stupidity on her part.  Interesting to see is the fact that the Rider that the Smoking Gun got their hands on has a lot of Sheryl’s demand crossed out, including the $350 per bus (four buses).

Since Sheryl Crow is one of the secular progressive ultra liberal supporters of President Obama … which in this case is more a question of intelligence than politics … and since she is consider the Queen of Green by many, we’re going to dub her as (A)rrogant Dumbass.  Hopefully the 48 year old starlet of the Environmental Wackos will soon figure out that in the real world you have to pay for all of the food and drink that she’s wanting her Buses stocked with before they leave.

The presidence is there.  At the time the 14th Amendment was written, there was no restriction on immigration to the United States.  Therefore of Illegal Immigrant didn’t exist.  But today, we have people abusing the liberal interpretation of the law, and unscrupulous employers all too willing to take advantage of the millions of illegal immigrants that have come into the United States and are trying to survive.

This issue has once again come to the fore-front of the political debate between Republicans and Democrats.  The anger of the American people has prompted the Republicans to push the agenda of closing our borders and deporting a number of illegal immigrants, but the Republicans are just as guilty for the problem that we’re seeing as the Democrats, and there are a number of people out here that believe that the Republicans are only paying lip service to the issue.

I have made my position clear on the subject of Illegal Immigration.  My problem with this latest push is that I don’t believe that if the Republicans get what they want, control of the Congress and Senate, that they will do anything more about the problem.  So, how about we just table the discussion of a Constitutional Amendment that would take years to create a resolution for, and just simply enforce the laws that prevent employers from giving these people jobs, and cut off their access to US Social Programs.

After the people of California voted to ban Gay Marriage in California, a Gay Supreme Court Judge in California has over-ruled the vote of the people, declaring the law banning Gay Marriage to be Unconstitutional.  While I do not approve of the Supreme Court usurping the will of the people, I have to admit that the premise that Gays should not be allowed to get married is majorly flawed…

The biggest argument that is given against the push to allow Gay couples to get married is that Marriage is a Sacred Sacrament of the Church, and according to most churches, Gays are flawed in the eyes of God, to put it nicely.

This sounds incredibly strange when you consider the history of the Church of Rome, the foundation of Christianity.  The church fathers held a very firm belief that Women were the downfall of man because of Eve’s and the Apple (fruit of the tree of knowledge).  It was because of Eve that man found himself further separated from God, that man became immortal, and therefore, women were not considered of any value nor able to enter the kingdom of Heaven.  It was stated by a Church Father that it was better to burn in the fires of hell than to lay next to a woman, and the church banned the institution of marriage for several centuries.

But the church could not stop the people from getting married, and it finally decided that due to the popularity of this union, the Church would make it a church sacrament to further add to its control of the people.  Don’t fall within the church ideologies and laws, you would not be allowed the sacrament of marriage, and found to be living in sin and subject to the persecution of the church and its subjects.

As for the other points of debate – let’s take a look at the institution of marriage inside the United States today.  Over half of all marriages inside the United States today will end up in divorce, most within the first five to seven years.  I can’t see how allowing Gays to get married could further damage the sanctity of Marriage when you take into consideration the facts.  The claims that Gay Marriage would be detrimental to the Family Unit and Values, that it would create dangerous homes for children, and the myriad of other ‘opinions’ against Gay Marriage are all just that, opinions.

I say that we give them the same rights as the rest of society.  Allow them to get married.  Let them discover how much fun it can be to get away from making a bad choice.  Let them not only share the costs of divorces, but the benefits that come with the marriage tax breaks (that may soon be going away).

Oh, and for those who may be wondering … I’m a 53 year old White Straight Married Man who’s been with my wife for over 20 years.

Proposition C–the Missouri Health Care Freedom Act–passed with 71 percent of the vote. The measure, which was referred to the ballot by the state legislature, amends current law to deny the government the authority to “penalize citizens for refusing to purchase private health insurance or infringe upon the right to offer or accept direct payment for lawful healthcare services.”  (US News)

Missouri has spoken, and there is no doubt in the minds of many that other states are about to make the same statement. We don’t want to be forced into your health care insurance program.  We do not believe that the US Government should have the authority to force us to purchase a particular product, especially a health care program that many Americans do not approve of.

But sit back and watch.  The Liberal Media is going to spin this.  They are going to make this look like some extreme right wing, backwoods movement to make the Obama Administration look bad and keep Americans from benefiting from the wise work of the Liberal Democrats and the Obama Administration.

I say … GOOD WORK MISSOURI!
