Don't Mix Turkey and Politics ~ By Sonnie Johnson

Don’t use Thanksgiving as an “I told you so” occasion. Look at the people that surround you, this is your family, by blood or by choice. Appreciate them. Find out about their lives and if there is something you can do to help. Congratulate them in their success and give them encouraging words to lift them from failure.

In short, don’t talk about your politics but act upon your principles. We are going to spend the next two years wrapped up in another political campaign. We are going to have plenty of time to disagree and fight. Take this time to understand, we are not fighting an enemy to the death, we are trying to shape the course of a nation with our family and friends.

While watching The Five yesterday on the Fox News Channel, I was introduced to Sonnie Johnson and this column. She is a winner, and so is this great column! It's something for us to consider tomorrow when we're together with family and friends. Don't create controversy. Just eat some turkey!

Now for those of you that don't know about Sonnie, let me introduce you to her:

Sonnie Johnson, CEO of Change the Game, interviewed by Jamie Glazov


Yeah, she's pretty cool, and she knows her stuff. She's the CEO of Change the Game (ctghq.org). She's conservative, and she tells it like it is for the black people of America. And she probably won't be making the liberals very happy, either. Oh, there was something she wrote (that I think was actually part of the discussion on The Five), which was her very recent column, "10 Questions Citizens of #Ferguson Should Ask Outside Agitators." Very profound, and interesting, because I had just been discussing that subject with a friend the night before. Anyway, being that Sonnie is now on our radar, you'll be hearing a lot from her in the future.

One last thing. With the holidays and various inflictions being spread around due to the nasty weather of Winter, there may be some times in the next month that the posts here could be somewhat sparse. Call it the "Lame Duck Months" of November and December following a national election, there are also fewer people online at this time, and I see a significant decline in readers and viewers of my work here. Yes, I will still do what I do during this time, though there may be periodic gaps when I just can't get a lot done. And following the troubles in Ferguson, Missouri, is probably more than I can deal with on my own. I was overwhelmed with just too much information, and I found myself being a victim of news-junkie overload.

But thanks to Sonnie Johnson, I found myself again motivated to do what I could today, and then we'll take a little break from politics for a few days. That will be SO nice. There is much to be thankful for this year, and many people to keep in our prayers. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving! And I'm not just sayin'...

From Change the Game (CTGHQ.org)

If you watch Red Eye, you know how I feel about mixing alcohol and politics. Don’t do it. It's a recipe for disaster, at least if you are talking to me. I tend to not care a single iota about your feelings or reasoning and an intelligent conversation is impossible.

I have the same tendency towards mixing turkey and politics. Conservatives have to learn to be tactical. We can’t be starting a fight over the cranberry sauce because we are upset Obama wrote an executive order granting amnesty to 5 million illegal aliens. When your great aunt Lucy complains about her back pain, don’t blame it on Obamacare. Don’t divide the mashed potatoes to demonstrate the 46% of Americans that don’t pay a Federal income tax. You look like the jackass at the table.

The reverse is also true for the Progressives. Don’t spend 45 minutes preaching on the fuel efficiency of your Prius. No, our thoughts should not stay focused on all the third world countries that would never see such a feast. Please, Please don’t bring up any subject that involves your vagina.

The dismissal of the Philadelphia Black Panther Voter Intimidation case

Despite an abundance of evidence of voter intimidation in Philadelphia, PA. on November 4, 2008, the Dept. of Justice decided to dismiss the cases. J. Christian Adams and Bartle Bull are interviewed by Megyn Kelly on Fox News Channel about the cases in the videos below.

Assuming the two gentlemen are accurately explaining all that occurred within the Department of Justice regarding the case, I feel that there should be an independent investigation of the DOJ, to find out who actually gave the orders to Steve Rosenbaum and Loretta King to get the case dismissed. Was it for political favors?

Or... is there something deeply and insidiously sinister going on that is even more widespread than just the Philadelphia case? Is this what voters should expect to happen at the polls this November? Just don't forget what you will hear in the 4th video with Bartle Bull (at 2:00): "Now you will see what it's means to be ruled by the black man, cracker."  Just sayin'...

DOJ Lawyer J. Christian Adams who quit over Black Panther Voter Intimidation case (3 Parts)

Black Panther Voter Intimidation Case. PART 1

On November 4, 2008 in Philadelphia, PA, 2 Black Panthers, one armed with a baton were harassing white voters who attempted to go into the polling station. The Panthers stationed themselves in front of the doors and shouted racial slurs at the white voters and were physically intimidating. The threat of violence was implied.
J. Christian Adams was an attorney working on the case and received a Default Judgment when the defendants did not show up to court or file any papers. They "blew it off." On May 15th, he was ordered to dismiss the case against Jerry Jackson, the tall Panther.

Incidentally, Mr. Jackson is also a Democratic Elected official from Philadelphia. The dismissal orders came from Steve Rosenbaum and Loretta King, both political appointees working in the Obama Administration, citing "the facts in the law don't support going forward with the case." This, despite the fact there were witnesses as well as plaintiffs who testified. The other defendant, wielding the baton got a "temporary injunction stopping him from appearing at the polls with a weapon, but only for a few years," essentially a "timid restraint."

J. Christian Adams said "there is pervasive hostility within the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department" regarding victims of racial discrimination, when the victims are white. Because of this failure of the Obama Administration to fulfill it's candidacy promise of transparency and openness, and the flagrant disregard for the Law, Mr. Adams resigned his position in protest.

Bartle Bull reacts to former DOJ attorney on Black Panther case "Obama is a hustler"

Bartle Bull accuses the Obama Administration of corruption in handling the Philadelphia Black Panthers charges of Voter Intimidation in the November 2008 case that was dismissed by Steve Rosenbaum and Loretta King, both political appointees working in the Obama Administration. A lifelong Democrat, and having worked in the Carter Administration, he says he supported McCain because he believes Obama is a "hustler."

Tea Party Activists Defend Rand Paul Amid Civil Rights Controversy

The controversy around Rand Paul may make you wonder how it affects the Tea Party Movement that supported him in his Republican primary victory. Will it affect his chances for a victory in November against his Democrat opponent, Jack Conway?

"I just feel like it's another day in the political arena where the left is frantic because all indicators are they are going to lose big and they know the one big hot-button thing they got is race," said Gina Loudon, founder of the St. Louis Tea Party.

Loudon said the controversy is an attempt by Democrats to distract voters away from other issues, such as border security and growing deficits. She said that race has never been a problem for the Tea Party, which she says takes pride in having a "place in the platform for all races, parties and genders."

She also expressed skepticism of the mainstream media's coverage of the controversy.

"I have so little trust with the mainstream media," she said. "I think this is more about a leftist agenda to erode the support that conservative groups have in November."

Rand Paul

Tea Partiers had barely started their victory lap for propelling Rand Paul to triumph Tuesday in Kentucky's GOP Senate primary, when a controversy over the new nominee's criticism of the Civil Rights Act threatened to rain on the parade.

Paul was criticized Wednesday for saying in a series of interviews that he would have opposed forcing private businesses to integrate under the landmark 1964 law that banned racial discrimination. Paul clarified his remarks Thursday, saying he agrees with the goals of the law but questions the federal government imposing its will on businesses – a view consistent with his long-held libertarian beliefs but leaving him open to criticisms that he would allow racial discrimination.

The Tea Party movement faces a dilemma. The conservative grassroots phenomenon that has shaken up the political landscape in the past year has faced accusations from the left of racism. Now it must decide how to deal with the fallout over Paul's comments, which have given Democrats more ammunition for November's midterm elections.

And as Paul tried to explain his take on the civil rights law Friday, he has added fuel to the fire with criticism of President Obama for being too tough on oil company BP PLC in his handling of the spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Tea Party activists told FoxNews.com that they plan to keep supporting Paul in his race against Democrat Jack Conway, but they made clear that their platform opposes discrimination and condemned Democrats for seizing on Paul's comments.

"The people in the Tea Party movement oppose racism," said Debbie Dooley, a Tea Party Patriots organizer and FreedomWorks volunteer outside of Atlanta, "We don't believe private businesses should be allowed to discriminate."

Dooley said she doesn't believe Paul is a racist and that she's satisfied with his clarification. "Do I believe he lost support? No," she said. "I don't believe he lost the Tea Party."

But Lenny McAllister, a black syndicated political commentator who has spoken at a number of Tea Party events in Georgia, said he believes Paul went too far with his belief in free market principles.

"Unfortunately, in his interpretation of what America is supposed to be, he's forgotten there's also a constitutional freedom that needs to be guaranteed," he told FoxNews.com, adding that Paul doesn't represent everyone in the Tea Party.

"The movement is one that has leaders like this but also understands that the Constitution is the law of the land and makes sure it's honored and ensures that civil rights are guaranteed," he said.

McAllister said he was not a "big supporter nor a basher" of Paul before the controversy and that he will continue to support the Tea Party.

"I think the main point is that we as conservatives and even Tea Party folks understand the balance," he said. "They're not anti-government. They want proper restraint of government and in this instance that means ensuring civil rights is protected for all Americans."

The Civil Rights Act was landmark legislation that outlawed racial segregation in schools, workplaces and other public places. It also banned unequal application of voter registration requirements.

Paul is an eye doctor who had never run for elective office before the Senate primary. He says he shares many of the libertarian views of his father, Republican Rep. Ron Paul, who represents a Texas district and was a presidential candidate in 2008.

In his primary victory on Tuesday, Paul had strong support from Tea Party activists, who believe that government spending and influence should be curbed. Paul also had the backing of some key conservatives, including former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

But Paul's comments to The Louisville (Kentucky) Courier-Journal last month challenging the Civil Rights Act went viral after he was asked about them in separate interviews with National Public Radio and MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show."

"It's Rand Paul's view," said William Owens, a black Tea Party activist in Nevada. "It's a libertarian view. It doesn't have any reflection on the Tea Party at all."

"His position is not racially inspired. It's libertarian inspired," he said. "He is welcome to that view."

Owens added that he believes Democrats who are criticizing Paul are doing so because they fear the ground they are losing.

A minority report about minorities ~ By Burt Prelutsky

In this column, Burt points out the results of liberal Democrat thinking for minorities, and the irony that the minorities now vote almost exclusively for the Democrats. And keep in mind, one of the greatest civil rights leaders ever, was a Republican. That would be Martin Luther King, Jr.

Yet another tragic irony is that LBJ is a large part of the reason that, year in and year out, 90 percent of blacks will leave the plantation just long enough to vote for the party of Strom Thurmond, James Eastland, Herman Talmadge, Orville Faubus, George Wallace, Bull Connor and Robert Byrd.

Because white Americans are so terrified of being called racists, they rarely marshal a defense. Instead, they tend to stammer and stutter, muttering "Am not" under their breath, mimicking an angry child who has been called a baby by an older sibling.

For instance, the astronomical drop-out rates among Latino students is generally blamed on whites. Because nothing negative must ever be laid at the feet of minority groups, a sensitive, politically correct white majority must always hold itself accountable for their failings. Well, not all white people, of course. As a rule, white liberals are always prepared to link arms with Hispanic race hustlers to blame conservatives.

Here in Los Angeles, a 10-year study found that 30 percent of students who were placed in bilingual classes in early primary grades were still in the program when they entered high school, which greatly increased their chances of bailing out before they graduated.

As if that's not depressing enough, over half of those students were born in the United States!

America, as people are fond of saying, is a land of immigrants. We, or at least our ancestors, came from all over the world. But I dare you to come up with a group of immigrants from Asia, Europe or Africa whose children aren't speaking English within a year of arriving on our shores. But here are all these native-born Americans who, even after several years in school, can only speak Spanish. And that's the fault of gringos? I don't think so.

This brings us to America's black population. Slavery was evil, we all agree. The fact it was commonplace in most places on earth in the old days, and is still practiced in Africa these days, doesn't give America a pass. America, after all, isn't just another country, even if Barack Obama doesn't seem to think it's anything special.

In the aftermath of slavery, we still had segregation and Jim Crow laws in several states. However, in 1960, in spite of that, the illegitimacy rate among blacks was just 19 percent. What's more, between 1890 and 1940, blacks had a higher marriage rate than whites. If you go back to 1925, 85 percent of black children were raised in two-parent families.
