The Democrats are now stating that they won't support the Iraqi government "forever". Well when the Democrats last controlled congress during the 1992-1993 uprising against Saddam, they didn't want to support the rebels and they were promptly slaughtered by the thousands. Well it looks like it's going to happen again if the Democrats get their way. Way to go idiots!

Well I suppose the rumor of Mike Tyson being a prostitute was incorrect. :( I was forward to having a new wave of good material for the site. :) Well I guess all those ladies with rape fantasies and gay men will have to look elsewhere.

I'm glad something like this has come along. I'm glad that people are being shown that anything that is based upon race isn't going to work and is wrong. This includes scholarships, affirmative action, etc. Do you think there would be an uproar if someone came out with the United White Guy College Funds? Or White Entertainment Television? I bet there would be. Race isn't important. A person's actions and attitudes are.

Yes, of course you are Wesley. Let's take a look at an email that he wrote to this reporter.


Hi Scott, guess you can imagine I've been a little busy. Wow this is so crazy . . . Scott this was almost (10) ten years ago. Why are they coming with this issue now? Were the statutes of limitation running out or what? We thought all issues had been resolved. Guess not, huh? Like the situation in New York, and Florida, I know this has more to do with a few individuals with access to power, making moves (trying to move up!) and less with some alleged crime against the whole population of the United States of America. This reminds me of Rape cases where the "victim" is flipped, turned or converted into the role of victimizer, the "architect conspirator." It appears I'm to be the scapegoat, because there's more public interest in "celebrities gone bad" than "rich people being taken advantage of."

Being, a black male who asks questions doesn't help the situation either. But this is a serious issue, NO, a very serious issue that I am not taking lightly one bit. I will abide by the law, seek the protections the law affords me and as always seek the advice of competent council in effort to resolve this issue. I'm not running, I'm not a fugitive, despite the misrepresentations in the press . . .

. . . I have yet to tell my side of the story, but that time will come shortly. By the Will of the Most High. And boy what a story. I recall mentioning to you once before, when they were trying to steal the Florida house, it's a lot deeper than that! This is the second attempt, after the failure in New York with that paternity lie, they've come after me. . . . I've injured no one, I've violated no one's rights and (as far as I know) I owe no one. If I have violated someone, then I'm prepared to seek forgiveness and make amends. One is a artist and scholar seeking truth though diligent study and spiritual practice. Perhaps people like that have now become the enemy of the State. And trading with the enemy is dangerous business no matter who you are. In peace and in Light I only ask for your prayers Until then, stay well.

So because Wesley is a "Black man who asks questions" means that he doesn't owe the taxes? That's pathetic. "It's all the Man's fault! It's because I'm a black man!" Stop with the excuses Wesley. Just man up and say, "I followed my tax guy's advice and it bit me in the ass" It's WAY better to admit that then try to blame everything on race.

It's not like he's trying to hide a few thousand dollars. He's accused of trying to get out of $11 MILLION in taxes. He supposedly believed that only foreign income could be taxed. Ok, fair enough, but then why is it that 300 million other American's don't know the same thing? Do you think that you're somehow special Wesley? If that was true, the federal government would collapse within months from lack of funds. People would demand refunds of every penny worth of tax they've paid over the years. It's simply not true.

Of course I'd expect this asshole to say that we're "trapped" in Iraq. He's the same guy who had the corrupt "Oil For Food" program under his watch. There's also questionable conflicts of interest concerning his son's employment for a company that does business for the UN. Our only reason why we' re not kicking ass from here to eternity is because of simple political correctness. We know where many insurgents are, but we are not going full force. We're being shown as weak and worthless in the eyes of the world. It's this view that will cost us in future events. It will make smaller rogue nations (Iran) think that they can get away with anything they want because Russia and China will back them. Kofi Annan is nothing more then a corrupt idiot who's time to leave the UN has long since passed.

I'm glad that there are reports coming from Iraq that our guys are doing sweeps and flushing out the bad guys. Unfortunately, sometimes civilians can get caught in the cross fire and they do die. But the better question is; Is it the fault of the military that these civilians died because they fired upon bad guys, or is it the fault of the bad guys because they decide to blend in with civilians and use them as human shields? I think it's the latter.

Travis

The only real question I have about this is why kill this man? Was he mistakenly seen as a threat? Did the Marines snap and just kill him because the man made some "fatal" mistake in the eyes of the Marine? I'd love to know more about this, but all the articles I've found so far don't point to why. I guess we'll have to wait until more details come out.

The evidence certainly is circumstantial, but it is quite possible that Russian officials have poisoned an ex KGB spy that is critical of the Kremlin.

An interesting article. Probably full of shit, but an interesting read nonetheless.

Travis
travis@right wing lunatic.com

I'm not talking about your Birth Certificate, Your Marriage License, or even the Birth Certificate of your children. I'm speak of the Constitution, specifically, the Bill of Rights. So let's review shall we boys and girls?

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

This means that you can say what you want, even if that statement is offensive to others. There are limits of course, such as threatening speech, but other then that, there's not much you can't say within this country. "Go fuck yourself" said to George W. Bush will only get you not invited to the next Republican dinner. You won't get arrested, you won't get beaten in a dungeon somewhere. Of course, there have been points in which these things have happened, but they could then sue whomever violated those rights into oblivion.

This also states that you can practice any religion you'd like. That means ANY religion. Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, Satanism, even something you've made up in your head. As long as you aren't doing things like sacrificing the neighbors cat, which violates laws against animal cruelty, you can do pretty much anything you'd like. Want to talk to your fish and worship them for the Gods of the sea that they are? Go for it. No one cares. Certain extremist types might get all preachy on you, but fuck em, it's not their business what your religion is.

Freedom of the Press means that anyone may print anything they'd like as long as it's true. There were many times where something undesirable would be printed about the King of England and he could tell the press not to print it and they had no choice but to not print it or have bad things happen to them. President Bush can ask that something not be printed for various reasons, but the press has no responsibility to the President or anyone else not to print it.

Freedom to peaceably assemble. This is the key word; peaceably. If you get together with 10,000 of your fellow countrymen and start rioting, you will be thrown in jail. If you want to march down the sidewalks and protest something, it is your right to do so. Dissent is important in any society as it brings a different point of view to the table of a particular issue. Just as Jules and Vincent in Pulp Fiction debate on the subtlety of a foot massage and it's inherit meaning, it's important to see things from the opposite side of the fence.

Amendment II

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

I've covered this enough in my previous posts, so I won't go into too great of detail, but the bottom line is that you have the right to own a firearm. No limits are ever pointed to in the Second Amendment, so in theory, laws governing machine guns, silencers, and other such things are technically illegal because "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." Who's to say that I can own a AR-15, but not a Browning .30 caliber machine gun? Both are firearms and both allow me to defend myself and my family from outside threats. One just allows me to defend my home against things like helicopters and APC's much better.

Now we get into the lesser known Rights.

Amendment III

No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

There was a time when a soldier could just barge into your home or you could be told to take in a soldier in wartime or peacetime and there wasn't a thing you could do about it. The founding fathers made sure that this wouldn't happen again. However, if you took in a soldier during peacetime or wartime, you can, but it then becomes your responsibility.

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

This is the hot button issue right now with warrantless wiretapping going on at the particular moment in time. It states that you have the right to privacy unless a warrant has been issued to search your house and belongings. There has to be "Probable Cause" otherwise, the warrant is invalid. That means that an officer of the law has to suspect you of a crime and provide a reason for that suspicion. Otherwise, the warrant issued would be invalid and anything found during that search would be thrown out. You could have tons of Cocaine and thousands of machine guns in your home, but if the warrant is invalid, they can't use it against you.

Amendment V

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

This is the Amendment that people refer to when you hear them say "I plead the fifth". It means you have the right against self incriminations. So if you are arrested, shut up. It also protects someone from being tried twice for the same crime, even if evidence is found later proving the person is guilty. This is why OJ can never be tried again for the murders he was acquitted of. It also states that you cannot be have your stuff taken from you without due process of the law and you must be compensated if your stuff is taken for public use. The Zapruder film showing John F. Kennedy's assassination was put into the public archives and the Zapruder family was compensated for it because of this law. The Federal government thought that this film was so important, that it needed to be a part of the public domain.

Amendment VI

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.

This is the "You have the right to an attorney" when you are read your Miranda rights. This also is the right that you are allowed to not have to sit in jail for a long time while awaiting trial. You have the right to confront your accusers and have the right to a public jury trial. This is to help prevent someone from getting thrown in jail and the keys thrown away by a corrupt system.

Amendment VII

In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

You have the right to a trial by jury. Pretty self explanatory.

Amendment VIII

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

This one is extremely important as it allows you to not be punished for a crime in a "cruel and unusual" way. This allows everyone to have punishment met out while still allowing them some dignity. This also means that you won't be seeing $1 million dollar bail for jaywalking.

Amendment IX

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

You have more rights then listed here in the Constitution.

Amendment X

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

States and the people can make up additional laws that are not covered in the Constitution.

There you have it. A quick and dirty view of what makes America, America. Sometimes we get caught up in the moment when it comes to the security and prosperity of our nation, but we should never forget that it's these 10 simple laws that form the foundation of what makes up the core of who we are.

Israeli's first targeted military officers. That didn't stop the rockets from raining down on Israel. So, target the political side of things and see if that gets their attention. Sooner or later, your enemies will get in line if you do things like targeted assassinations, bomb them back to the stone age, and fight a war like a war is supposed to be fought.

If this is true, there is no way that China and Russia could be against sanctions against Iran. The only problem is that we need concrete proof of these tests. Evidence from Israel, even if it were concrete, would be looked upon with mistrust because Israel and Iran are enemies. If say, China, Russia, or Saudi Arabia had the same evidence, then you would have a real case for sanctions. Let's see if this report turns out to be true. I want there to be a resolution to this, but I don't think that it will be one that will end peacefully. I think it will end up with either Tel Aviv under a mushroom cloud or an Iranian nuclear facility on the end of an Israeli air strike.

I just had to laugh at this idiots idea. So, let me get this straight. If I have an orgasm on December 22nd and think about peace, then it will make all the bad things in the world go away and wars will end?? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Sure, I'm all for a good orgasm, but problems don't solve themselves by a blow job or sex on the kitchen counter top. Hell, if it did, I'd be the next Gandhi.

Problems don't get solved by having sex, unless the problem is you're trying to get pregnant. Problems get solved by thinking things through and coming up with a solution.

Here's a link to the video of what he said. Wow. You'd think that Michael Richards was preaching for the KKK or the Aryan Brotherhood or something.

If you go into a racist tirade while on stage, people will notice. TV's "Kramer" decided he wanted to yell at some people in the audience who were heckling him. Ok fair enough, but he went into a racist laden screaming match with them and pissed off a bunch of people. Now, I'll be the first to condemn him for it, however, in this video comedian Paul Rodriquez makes two incorrect statements.

First, he says "If the word nigger comes out of your mouth and you aren't African-American, you have some explaining to do" My response is why? Why does Chris Rock get to use the word but I do not? I don't use the word in my vocabulary, however how is it fair that certain people can use it but I cannot? Would it be fair if African-Americans couldn't use the word "Cracker"? Or "Honky"? Or "White Devil"? Of course not, that would be taking away from their freedom of speech. Now, I have every right to be offended if someone uses those words with malice, but I'm not about to take away their right to say what they want. But there in lies the difference; malice. Malice is what makes you a racist for saying "nigger", not merely the word. I've been called "nigga" by African-American friends of mine, and there's clearly no malice involved. "Nigga" and "nigger" are the same words, I do not care if you spell them differently.

Secondly Paul Rodriquez also states "Freedom of speech has its limitations and I think that Michael Richards crossed that line". Paul is half correct in this one instance. Freedom of speech does have its limitations. However, the limitations are only when you infringe on other peoples rights. Threats are one of those limitations. You cannot threaten someone and claim freedom of speech because you are trying to intimidate or coerce someone else. Some of the things that Michael Richards did say could be construed as threatening speech, however simply calling someone a name is not, unfortunately for Michael Richards, it appears that he didn't merely say "You're a nigger". He said "I have enough money to have you arrested". That can easily be interpreted as a threat.

Race relations are always a hot button for many people. Many people might be offended by my merely asking "Why" when I just really want to know the answer to "Why". People who know me personally know I don't have a thread of racism in my heart and I show it by the friends and family members in my life, just in case you were wondering.

I'm watching bits and pieces of Ted Koppel's new documentary titled "Iran - The Most Dangerous Nation" and while it is very insightful, there was one part that I thought I would share with you. Ted Koppel is speaking to a woman who was the spokesperson for the group of people who took our men hostage at the US Embassy in 1979. She goes on to say how America said bad things about her nation and lumped them into a group called "The Axis Of Evil" and made it look how hurtful it was to her. While she looks to have a point for about 2 seconds, Ted Koppel pipes up with "Well, don't you think it's along the same degree when you called us "The Great Satan"". She didn't have a response and was clearly frustrated when called out on the carpet like that. Kudos Ted! It's about time that someone shoved their noses in it when they pull shit like that. I'm tired of everyone ganging up on us and expecting us to take shit off of these people for years then get all upset when we return the favor.

This OJ thing coming up on TV has admittedly caught my eye. I know deep down in my heart that OJ killed his ex wife Nicole and her friend/boyfriend Ronald Goldman. I don't know if Nicole was dating Ron, but come on, when was the last time you went to a restaurant, ANY restaurant and the waiter hand delivered glasses you left behind there? OJ was a jealous wife beater and I'm willing to bet that he saw her with him, she rebuffed him earlier in the day and he decided she had to go. There's simply too many people involved for me to believe that the ENTIRE forensics department of the LAPD, the LAPD themselves, and everyone else got together and said "Let's frame OJ". For a conspiracy theory that large to come off without a hitch, there had to be some major stuff going on behind the scenes. It just doesn't happen. Just like 9/11 conspiracy theories are bullshit too. Sooner or later you have someone involved who's conscience gets the better of them and they spill the beans.

"Three can keep a secret if two are dead." Words to live by.

I'm just curious if OJ reveals anything in this interview that only the killer would know. I'm curious if he does this "If I did it" bullshit and reveals that Nicole had a glass of wine in her hand or some other minor detail that will let everyone know that OJ killed her and Ronald Goldman.

This is a bit off topic, but all this cloak and dagger stuff fascinates me, so I thought I would share the article with you.

Consider all you want John, there are WAY better candidates then you. If I were a Democrat, I'd probably pick Barak Obama. Admittedly the guy has charm, is an excellent public speaker, and isn't so militant as to put off people who are on the fence in voting. You have to remember that there are Democrats who don't like John Kerry. They only went along with him because he was the best that the Democrats had to offer at that point in time.

Hillary Clinton is another popular choice among Democrats, but with Barak and Hillary, there's more then just qualifications that need to be looked at. Unfortunately, there are people who are not ready for a black man or a woman to be President. You can send me hate mail all you want, but do you really think that out of 300 million people, there isn't one that doesn't think; "There's no way in hell I'd vote for a woman"? I don't mind personally what color or gender the candidate is, as long as they share the same personal beliefs that I do when it comes to running the country. Regardless of how people feel about gender or race, it's important to look at voting records. To me, that's what matters most about a candidate. You could be a Republican, but vote for Gun Control that would want me to vote you out quicker then anything.

Unfortunately for Democrats, their core beliefs are strictly against my own and that is why I continually vote against them.

Take a gander at this article. Even the French understand that allowing Iran to have access to nuclear technology that can be used for weapons is a bad idea. I must congratulate the French for standing up when it counts. I think it could be based on the recent problems that France has had with militant Muslims. They don't want someone armed with a nuclear weapon in their country who's pissed at them. I can't say I blame them. France is usually the first one to take a jab at us at any point that they can get, so it's refreshing to see them stand up for what's right instead of what pokes America in the eye.

Well I can agree with that on many fronts. Force alone doesn't solve many of the problems that we face. However, when someone has made a threat against us and has proven that they will carry out that threat, force is the only thing that will solve that. If a nation wants to extend its hand in friendship that has not been friendly to us in the past, I'm all for cautiously extending ours in return. If a group of militants wants to blow up parts of America and kill as many people as possible, then we need to kill them as painfully as possible.

A quick shot to the head will do the trick, but there are always alternatives to flushing out an enemy. Using behind the scenes tactics involving every aspect of the enemies lives will make them make a mistake and allow us to find them and eliminate them. Understanding and mutual respect is for those who deserve it. People who plow airliners into buildings, blow up tunnels, plot gas attacks and more do not deserve understanding or mutual respect. They deserve to be shipped to an undisclosed place, squeezed of any last bit of information they may have, then shipped home in a body bag.

Well maybe John Kerry was right in proclaiming that the draft might be coming back. But just as usual, John Kerry was wrong in one aspect; it's coming from his own party. Representative Charles Rangel D-NY wants to bring back the draft for individuals ages 18-26. Which is odd because didn't George W. Bush (Hitler in the eyes of many Democrats) state that he was vehemently opposed to a draft? So tell me Democrats and everyone that voted for them, if this gets passed and you are drafted, where will do your "pie in the sky" thoughts and ideals about the Democratic party be then?

Representative Rangel wanted to bring back the draft in 2003 as well. Of course, when both the House and the Senate were controlled by the Republican's, it was soundly defeated because Republican's don't believe in the draft. But, now that both parts of Congress are controlled by the Democrats, do you feel that it will be so soundly defeated this time around?

I am personally against a draft of any kind. I don't think taking people who aren't cut out for military life against their will and putting them in the middle of a combat zone will accomplish much. In fact, it could be worse in that they could make decisions on the battlefield that can get them or their fellow soldiers killed.

It's quite possible that this guy will be looked upon as an idiot and his determination to get a draft reinstated will be soundly defeated, but I think it's rather odd that John Kerry, right before the 2004 presidential elections said in a nutshell "If you vote Bush, he'll reinstate the draft and you'll be in Iraq in no time" and then when it didn't happen, no one stood up and called John Kerry a the liar that he is. Then, all of a sudden, you have this whackjob trying to put in a draft so that congressmen and women would think twice if they "thought that their kids from their communities would be placed in harm's way".
