Man Seeks S.S. Disability for His “Whiteness”


Man Seeks S.S. Disability for His “Whiteness”
Al Ritter 

Percy Whittington lives in Baltimore City and is employed as a hairdresser. Since the Baltimore Riots of 2015 he feels that his means of making a living has been seriously challenged. His customer base has been dropping ever since the riots and he feels he knows the reason….his “whiteness.” 

“Nothing has changed in my ability to style and cut hair,” says Mr. Whittington as he was being interviewed at his home in the Cherry Hill area of Baltimore City. “My ability to pay my bills and live in harmony within my neighborhood has been seriously diminished.” 

Mr. Whittington has been successfully employed at Laquita's Hairweave for the last 17 years, but only until recently has he questioned the reason for his declining clientele base. “I have successfully kept up with current styles and have even learned how to do cornrowing, but now that seems to mean nothing.” 

Mr. Whittington believes that his current drop in customers is due to his “physical disability,” the fact of his “whiteness.” When questioned about possibly changing careers, his reply was, “why should I change careers when the problem is the color of my skin?” 

“Some people have suggested that I move out of downtown Baltimore and get a job in the suburbs, but that would require me to start all over and build a new client basis, and that just makes no sense at my age.” Although Mr. Whittington is just 48 years old he feels he is in the twilight of his career and sees no hope in recovering his current earning capability. 

“People need to understand that being white is a real physical disability, and needs to be addressed by government. I haven’t saved much over my working career and now the government needs to help me out, after all it’s only fair. President Obama has helped so many people since he came into office and now he needs to help me though my disability. President Obama has been redefining many things in our lives and now this is just one more area he needs to work on.”

Employment for 50’s + Worker: The Dead Zone


Employment for 50’s + Worker: The Dead Zone
Al Ritter 

Politicians constantly push forward initiatives where they want the retirement age to be pushed forward. The fact that politicians misused the funds that were set aside by contributions by both the worker and their employer, seems to mean nothing to them. They robbed the piggy banks of American workers instead and funded social welfare programs that they term “entitlements.” 

Although there are 8 protected classes by federal law that an employer may NOT discriminate against (race, color, sex, religion, national origin, disability, gender, and age), employers continue to do so.  

When the Congress pushes retirement ages higher, and employers continually force their HR departments to hire younger and younger employees, it creates a “dead zone.” This dead zone creates the group of casualties caused by willful discrimination as to age. 

America is filled with seniors (50-65+) who want to, or HAVE to, work. Job eliminations because of economic conditions are usually the death sentence of senior working Americans. And although the employer can’t ask your age other than to confirm they are over the age of 18, all applications for employment still have that little box for “date of birth”………..Why? 

Through affirmative action there are minority hiring requirements for employers, but it seems that color and race are the only real protected classes that get any real credence……Why? Because employers are scared to death to be sued by disgruntled non-hires or even worse have their cases taken on by the ACLU. As a result religion, national origin, disability, gender, and age get a back seat now. 

For argument sake because the retirement age has now been pushed to 66 so let’s view this group as 50-70 years old. Hires that never once missed getting a job at age 40 from any they applied for are now applying to hundreds of jobs and rarely getting one single interview. The primary reason isn’t race, color, sex, disability, or national origin…….it’s age! Although many businesses MAY make decision not to hire on the afore mentioned factors, more often than not it is age that is their #1 deciding factor. 

The lack of law enforcement on this single factor is plunging seniors into poverty. To think that a company can hold the financial future of a senior in their hands is appalling. Because once one company lets that employee go it pretty much seals the deal on any other company hiring them in the future. 

I propose that through affirmative action (if it in fact continues in America) that a company should have to show that they have a certain amount of senior hires between the ages of 50 and at least legal retirement age of 66, or whatever the age that Social Security sets in the future to prove they aren’t discriminating based on age.

Steny Hoyer (D-MD) Claims Immigration Laws Should Be Followed


Steny Hoyer (D-MD) Claims Immigration Laws Should Be Followed
Al Ritter 

Steny Hoyer, Democratic House Whip just now flips to the “legal” side of law, obviously protecting his house seat and position in the Democratic caucus. In an Interview yesterday he said that “sanctuary cities like Baltimore and San Francisco should be informing federal authorities when local law enforcement arrest felons like the illegal immigrant who allegedly shot and killed 32-year-old Kate Steinle in San Francisco last week.” 

Hoyer stopped short and refused to site what he thinks the punishment should be for cities that refuse to enforce immigration laws on criminals that should be deported, but he thinks that officials have the responsibility to report such criminals to federal authorities. 

This sudden concern of Hoyer’s is almost laughable because in the district backing up to his district, Baltimore City, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings Blake four long years ago claimed her city to be a sanctuary city, and yet not a word out of Congressman Steny Hoyer. Takoma Park which backs up to Hoyer’s district to the west has also been declared a sanctuary city, and again no word on that declaration from Congressman Hoyer! 

Most Democrats seem to believe that we should somehow give sanctuary to “undocumented aliens” and then loosely monitor them to make sure they don’t fall into the category of violent criminals. 
 

Sadly, hardened criminals are crossing our borders daily and automatically seek out sanctuary cities knowing that their movements and activities will not be tracked. As a result these cities are a magnet for the most violent of criminals and crime rates skyrocket in those areas. 

Democrats ignore the fact that the people who cross illegally into our country have already committed a felony by the act of crossing illegally. Federal law that is being willfully and intentionally ignored by this Administration addresses that fact in that anyone with a criminal record of a felony may NOT be allowed in this country. ICE, and Border Control are daily being told to stand down by the DHS and DOJ and not to actively deport these criminals. 

Why have borders at all if they aren’t actively being enforced?

Gettysburg Museum Rewrites History


Gettysburg Museum Rewrites History
Al Ritter 

In 2005 I made a trip to Gettysburg to revisit the Battleground that I visited as a child. The familiar building, complete with a map of the battleground that had little lights that showed each significant skirmish gave me a calming sense that the familiar stories I had heard as a child were still being taught to children that were visiting the Gettysburg Nation Museum then. I visited many of the little independent museums also and learned more of what happened on those three July days of 1863. Following a map of the battleground I drove around for the entire day taking in the landscape and understanding the progression of the battle that killed 97,000 men in just 72 hours. 

The historic building that housed the museum was just across the street from the Cemetery where most casualties are buried from the battle. In that museum were narrated films about the causations of the war. The building also included a diorama of a painting done just months after the battle in 1863. 

It was explained that the reasoning was that the North was exploiting the South for its labor force to supply them with products to manufacture goods with, and returning very little in the way of money. The North continued to force the federal influence on the South even against their threats to secede from the union if their demands weren’t met to preserve their state sovereignty as granted by the Constitution. 

Nine years later I returned to Gettysburg to take a friend whom hadn’t been since her childhood either. I was amazed to see how much the town had changed. The area was now geared much more towards tourism, and had a very commercial feel about it now. The old Museum in the historical building was now gone and new modern building was built on the edge of the battlefield. The complex is massive and includes many different parking areas for not only cars but huge amounts of busses. The federally run facility now employs 10 times the amount of employees that the 2005 site did.  

We paid our fee for museum and started with the display of items collected during the battle and from the area in general, and it wasn’t far into that display to see where this narrative had changed from my previous trip. Although I was perturbed I ventured on. Each and every turn in that display the narrative was changing to a more obvious slant of…..the entire war was fought over slavery. The pictures had progressively changed the farther you ventured into the display to the final rooms that showed nothing but slavery and oppression.  

Shocked we proceeded to the movie in the theatre before going to the Diorama. Once again the movie started and explained the logistics of the battle, but as it continued the presentation took an ominous slant towards the reasons for the war. By the time the lights came on I sat dumbfounded, knowing that the historical narrative had been changed in just 9 short years. We went to view the Diorama which was basically a viewing of the battleground and an explanation of the artists who made it. 


I couldn’t help but to look around us at all the young impressionable minds from schools in the surrounding states. I couldn’t help but to wonder when the narrative of 130 years had changed to this new rewritten version of history, and who had ordered it. Is it merely the progressive push to make the Southern States appear to be the aggressors and the North to be the saving grace of abolishing slavery? Or is this a PC way to lighten the responsibility of the North in the Civil War….aka Slavery trumps everything else.
 
I could go into time frames and actual actions done under Lincoln’s orders that were clear and intentional violations of the Constitution against the South. This is not the point of this article however, the point is the narrative was one thing and now it’s been changed to something else that facts don’t support. 

To me this is NO different than removing the battle flag of two regiments of the Confederate Army. It makes no sense to rewrite the history of our country ever intends to learn and change from our mistakes, to ignore those mistakes only insures we WILL make those mistakes again. 

Teaching our impressionable children the wrong narrative denies them the truth of the war. I’m certain other facilities run by our government are teaching the same myths nationwide and thus promoting lies. 

I’ll close this article with two quotes that are very poignant and relative.
 

“All this was inspired by the principle--which is quite true in itself--that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.”—Adolf Hitler , Mein Kampf, vol. I, ch. X[1]

"The man who has no sense of history, is like a man who has no ears or eyes" - Adolf Hitler

"The victor will never be asked if he told the truth." - Adolph Hitler

"When an opponent declares, "I will not come over to your side," I calmly say, "Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community." - Adolph Hitler

 UPDATE: It's now been brought to light that the Museum is NOT being run by the government but by a non-profit corporation that has chosen to rewrite history according to their own view. I would highly suggest that you spend your money elsewhere, and not support this group.

No Country for Old Men


No Country for Old Men
Al Ritter 

I guess maybe I’m too old to be in this country anymore, but then I’m reminded that Bernie Sanders, and Hillary Clinton are running for office, and they are WAY older than me, and I’m slapped back into reality. My points of view aren’t really represented anymore. Lobbyists are supplanting my interests. The Constitution has become passé, and neither party seems interested in restoring it. The Tea Party candidates that wielded so much power in the mid-terms that WE elected have been watered down and turned out to pasture by the GOP.  

Without a doubt my candidate who has been the only stalwart to restore the constitution has been made the laughing stock of the Senate even though his message has never wavered and still remains true to the Constitution. Clowns have even been introduced as part of the Republican circus running for the presidency even though they have donated mostly to the Democratic Party in the past! I feel as though whatever we call this party, it is still the “party of one.” 

We have set back race relations over 100 years by the policies of Obama, and we are set at the precipice of a racial war! The racism claim is used at the drop of a hat, and has been transformed to mean that only people of color can be victims of racism, but never can whites be victims, documented time after time by Eric Holder. We have ignored ALL the Obama incidents and failed to bring anyone to trial….Fast and Furious, Benghazi, IRS etc. etc……We have learned that certain people are not only above the law, but they are then allowed to run for the Presidency of the United States. 

We have denied not only our Judea-Christian heritage, but we have accepted the same religion that attacked us on 9/11; we have endorsed it over Christianity! Obama has used our Constitution against us to support religious freedom for Islam at the cost of denying others! 

We have not only armed our declared enemies, but we have ignored the treasonous activities of our government, and used the DOJ, IRS, and even the Secret Service as the henchmen to destroy ordinary citizens’ lives at the bequest of the office of the Presidency. 

The saddest part is that on the Democratic side Hillary Clinton is showing signs of moving farther left than even Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders the only self-avowed Socialist candidate is proposing an even FARTHER leftist agenda and he is running a close second place! 

Continually history is now being rewritten to fit the narrative of the Obama Administration, on race matters, and liberal agenda matters, adding yet another degree of falsehood to our past and a denial of facts. 

Even the so called Conservative Governors are bowing to removing the “Southern Cross” or otherwise known as the Stars and Bars, or the Confederate Flag, because it offends some ignorant, public school, or leftist collegiate taught, or uninformed minions of the left. 

We read daily where College professors are teaching our children a liberal politically tainted agenda pushed by the government. Common core has become the law of the land and teaches our kids a much more involved logic to simple mathematical questions. Our work force is at the smallest size since WWII and nobody seems to question it. 

Over half our population is now on some sort of entitlement program, and programs that we as workers and the companies that we worked for, donated into, are now also termed welfare entitlements. 

Our government has decided what is best for us, and forcefully makes us comply.  

If you make cash deposits from your business in the amounts of under $10,000 the IRS can come in and confiscate all your funds and threaten to never return it even if you have never been charged with a crime. 

Daily we hear about Police situations where their actions have become increasingly militaristic and every bit as violent as the cartels and gangs they are supposedly protecting us against. 

We have been so attacked by the government in our personal lives that thoughts and concerns about such things as unemployment, national debt, and foreign policy now mean very little. 

The Obama administration and Congress have totally demoralized the armed forces by denying them the benefits that had been promised and earned, while all the time increasing their own benefits. The military is at its smallest size since WWII, and the Pentagon’s budget is being cut daily despite the fact that Obama has now waged war in more countries at the same time than ANY President in the past. Rules of Engagement have changed so much that it puts EVERY service member in far more danger than at any time in the past. 

We now pay ransom to get back military defectors and trade the most dangerous prisoners in the world on a scale of 5 for 1.  

In the first year of Obama Presidency we GAVE away, not sold, probably the most important invention of our millennium, the Internet. Originally invented by our military Obama gave it away in 2009. 

Our Supreme Court has now become a biased liberal extension of the Office of the Presidency. Supreme Court decisions have now decided that same sex marriage will now be the law of the land, and the failed “Obamacare” will probably be with me until the day I die whether I agree with either decision or not. 

We treat whistleblowers with distain and administer retribution quickly and decisively, even though there are laws against such actions. On the other hand we treat the liars and deceivers in government to continual pay raises and promotions. In the eyes of government evil has turned into good and good into evil. 

Our international southern border no longer means a thing and every government agency formed to protect us there has been given orders to stand down and allow this illegal action. The DOJ continually picks and choses which law they intend to enforce regardless of their pledge to enforce all laws equally. 

Minimum wage has been increased to compensate minimal skill workers who never really intend to increase their skill level but instead are content to languish at the minimal skill profession for life. Meanwhile military professionals continue to be paid at low wages despite their education level and the daily life threatening nature of their work. 

Social Security benefits have been set to a higher age limit now, making seniors put off retirement, while Social Security disability benefits have increased over two fold, giving benefits to a new group of people willing to defraud our government. 

Welfare Benefits are now willfully given to Illegal immigrants whom have never even paid a dime into our system, but are draining an already depleted reserve. Forging Social Security cards and fraudulently using someone else’s number is no longer considered a felony, and the Administration refuses to even charge those responsible with identity theft. 

Those who refuse to pay income taxes remain in government jobs and given bonuses and pay raises regardless of their indebtedness. High profile “social injustice” purveyors are not only given a free pass on their taxes, but are invited multiple times to the Whitehouse for their “special” expert opinions. 

Although the government tells us that the reason for extending the retirement age is that in just a few years the elderly will be the majority of America, and yet they constantly ignore our voice. Is the next step to deny the elderly voting rights?  
 

I feel like Tommy Lee Jones and ready to hand my country over to the useful idiots.

Eric Holder Was Right


Eric Holder Was Right
Kevin Bryant 

God Help Us, Eric Holder was right, we are a nation of cowards. We are cowards when it comes to race related issues. We are cowards when it comes to confronting politicians. We are cowards when it comes to doing what is necessary when it’s not popular and worst of all; we are cowards about standing our ground.  

Race related crap. Yes, “crap” is the correct word to use here. Its crap to believe that if you are white you are automatically a racist but that is what the left want you to believe. The left has convinced a majority of minorities in this country that all their woes are because of what they the left has labeled “White Privilege”. White privilege? I sure didn’t grow up with any? Not a single member of my family grew up with any. Anything and everything we have is directly related to working for what we have. I and my siblings applied ourselves in school and earned diplomas and in some cases degrees because we worked for them, no white privilege did that. These were not based on grading on a curve or no child left behind crap. Neither I nor my siblings live in the worst neighborhoods of our respective communities. None of us live in affluent neighborhoods but we do live in safe neighborhoods because we worked to get there, white privilege didn’t do that. Our kids didn’t grow up hungry because we needed more jewelry to wear or spent grocery money on a $300 pair of shoes and none us are covered in tattoos. In fact, I don’t think any of us have a single tattoo. None of this is what the left want you to believe is “White Privilege”. It’s called being responsible to ourselves, our kids and our communities. A black cops shoots a white criminal, we aren’t out there breaking windows and looting businesses in protest. Unless proven otherwise, we are all pretty sure the cop had a good reason to do it. Our parents set rules and standards and for the most part, we followed those rules and met their standards. As parents, we set rules and standards for our kids and for the most part they met them.  

It may have taken 40+ years but finally even my sister has come around to understanding there is no such thing as a political party fighting for the individual. Parties fight for their own interest and that interest is gaining more power and more control. It should be the duty of every person of voting age to educate themselves and learn the background of those running for office from the city alderman to the city mayor to the state governor to the President of the United States. Anyone who votes a party line is a coward and an idiot and this applies to the cowards and idiots who currently serve in state and federal congress. My father, God rest his soul was a hardened Southern Democrat. The thought of voting for a republican I don’t think ever entered his mind. He asked me one day: “Why are you a republican”.  He could not grasp the idea that I am not a republican. Yes, the majority of the time the people I vote for are running as republicans but not all the time. I told him I’m not a republican; I am a fiscal, social and constitutional conservative. As best as I could try to explain it, I don’t think he ever got the meaning.  

It’s easy to accept what someone tells you as truth. It’s easy to go along with the masses. It’s easy to be selfish and it’s natural to want more. Cowards don’t dig for the truth or base opinions on what they have learned from studying both sides of a debate. Cowards don’t hold in reserve that which they want in order to fill the needs of those dependent upon them. Cowards go with the flow and don’t respectfully challenge those who see themselves as authority figures. Lastly, cowards don’t hold the right and left in America regardless of skin color accountable for their speech and their actions even when they know it’s wrong.  

Yes, this is the only time you are ever going to see me agree with Eric Holder……… We are a nation of cowards.

“What Were You Thinking America?”


“What Were You Thinking America?”
By Ron Boat
When historians look back on these times they may well be pondering the question of the day - “What were you thinking America?”
How can a country so blessed by God, so abundantly set apart from the rest of the world with wealth, beauty, peace, and with personal and community successes screw it all up so badly as to destroy itself.
We’ve all heard – or known – that “the love of money is the root of all evil,” and have seen its more reprehensible influences flourish in the past few decades. While people used to work hard just to gain enough to be economically stable, or some socially successful, today’s dictate is that you get as much as you can, as fast as you can, any way you can and the power that accompanies it.
Many adages were proclaimed over the ages, and while their presence in today’s society may be forgotten or ignored, their truth still stands. As said by John Dalberg-Acton, 1st Baron Acton of England:
“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” 

In today’s society we might well substitute the word “money” for “power” as they are intertwined with deceit and treachery.
Many work hard to gain money because of their drive and goals of personal success, and their love of an ability to do good with their fortunes while others revel in the power that comes with it over men, companies and even society.
We’re all embarrassingly aware of the “Clinton Crime Family Foundation” and the illicit gains and power it fosters in order to allow a few to gain position and control over the populace. With one hand behind their back, they take money from who knows who and from where, while facing an audience saying  “We have to stop the endless flow of secret, unaccountable money that is distorting our elections, corrupting our political process, and drowning out the voices of our people.”
Is this the means by which elected officials are placed that was envisioned by our founders? Is this the proper and legitimate method of selecting and entrusting those who govern us?
When America chooses to trust liars and thieves, fraudulent, corrupt cohorts who scheme, manipulate and buy their way into power, they do injustice to the system, and to the positions these people hold, and America’s legacy is thereby forged in the fires of dishonesty and deceitfulness.
“What were you thinking America?”
While today’s money and power are fostered from the greed that so often precedes them, the basis of our country, as sought and provided for by our founders, is also in peril: Our religious freedoms and ethics.
I’ve written before (“To God or Not To God”) about our forefather’s credence and bedrock intentions of having a country based on an open and free belief in God, his powers and place in society. But over the last few decades, and most recently, those desires have been eroded and flushed into the sewer of humanity which now leads and lives in this great land sucking the resources from our coffers of hard work and belief.
Daily we see the rejection and dissolution of God in our schools, the banning of freedoms in the church with directives from the government about what to believe and how to preach an “acceptable” message to the masses. We see the assault on businesses that are told you must go against your religious beliefs in order to own and manage your own trade and economic property as for you, the “State” will direct your endeavors.
We’ve seen continuing mismanagement of our national security with either “social agenda” or “patriotic ignorance” taking charge of a most vital part of our daily lives. Dangerous criminals bent on destroying this country being released from custody for the sake of “making nice” with the enemy.
Precarious negotiations with treacherous, untrusted governments with evil intent for the sake of personal legacy and continuing power – all against the will and best interests of the American people – and elected officials continue to allow it, condone it, or even facilitate it. The weakness of our leaders and the decay of moral foundation will culminate in the downfall of the best country on earth.
Our government leaders promote people into positions of power and accept their groups as “peace loving and American” when we see for ourselves that their actions and efforts are for the destruction of America. Then they say nothing when these exalted leaders are caught in sting actions for criminal activities, pedophilia or running child sex rings.
Citizens groups determined for a free America and spreading truth, or individuals fraught with times of economic devastation and little or no work find themselves hounded by the IRS, while others, community leaders, who owe millions in taxes are applauded, invited to the white house for meetings and dinners and their social sins overlooked in consideration of race and potential support.
We see a youth commit robbery and assault on a store owner, then assaults a police officer trying to steal his gun, and potentially do hard, then runs away and comes back charging the officer. He is killed in defense…. And the family and community want to put up a plaque honoring the youth.
“What were you thinking America?”
There’s not a more moral arena than the treatment of our fellow man, and our children. More and more the depraved actions of a misguided society are acceptable and even lauded as we move down that road of personal and societal destruction. The links between morality, liberty and humanity have been known for centuries and in the mid 1800’s was seen as something we seem to be missing today. To quote Lord Acton again:
“Liberty becomes a question of morals more than of politics.”
And when he said “…Morality depends on liberty,” we have only to realize that without liberty we have no morality and certainly today without morality, we have no liberty.
And this moral, ethical degeneration is evidenced in the lives our leaders and even the educators who are untrustworthy with our children’s futures.
An academic conference held at the University of Cambridge invited Tom O’Farrell, a known child sex offender and campaigner for the legalization of sex with children to speak. His comments were that “pedophilia interest is “natural and normal for males.” He later wrote that conference had been “wonderful” and “it was a rare few days when I could feel relatively popular!”
We see more and more teachers having sex with underage students and being exempt of moral responsibility due to society’s acceptable of “circumstances” and “situations.” 

We see government control exercised through new laws and practices. US Common Core standards now require sexuality education from kindergarten through grade 12. To qualify for federal grants from the US Department of Education, public schools must adopt Common Core standards. And the path to teaching delicate subjects is lined with communal goals and mores, not logic and decency.(*) 

Some Virginia students in 8th grade will soon be receiving lessons on "oral and anal" sex. Fourth graders will receive instruction about incest. The goal is to teach students about homosexual, bisexual, and transgender identity.


"Starting in kindergarten, students will be taught about same-sex or gay marriage and the parents will not be able to opt out," Andrea Lafferty, president of the Traditional Values Coalition, told CBN News.
When I was in school I was worried about passing the history test or learning math in order to succeed in life. Now, US schools are teaching 8-year-olds how to masturbate and put condoms on bananas. Controversy surrounds the textbook titled "It’s Perfectly Normal," which contains graphic illustrations of naked people of all ages. Some of its drawings depict children and adults masturbating and having intercourse. Do-it-yourself instructions are included.  
Today, any “confused” or “misguided” child can become Transgendered overnight and accepted as the new norm even to the point of new laws providing restrooms for those “not sure” of who or what they are in life… but it’s ok, it’s alright, it’s normal.
A New Jersey teacher has her 3rd grade class write Get Well letters to a convicted murderer but shows no compassion or explanation to the students of the Philadelphia police officer he killed.
There are many who cast a doubtful eye on the “moderate Muslims” in our midst seeing the death, torture, destruction many in their army of “religion of peace” so openly display, so being cautious is warranted and yet, a Massachusetts school district took a group of school children for participation in midday Muslim prayers during a field trip to a Boston-area mosque.

Parents were told their children would be learning about the architecture of a mosque and they would be allowed to observe a prayer service. But the students wound up being given a lecture on the Prophet Muhammad – a pedophile of his time.
Univ. of California President Janet Napolitano, a left wing zealot of Barry Obama’s social engineering leanings, has issued a long list of alleged microaggressions which are forbidden in today’s university conversations.
Per her directive, we can no longer teach that “America is the land of opportunity,” or “I believe the most qualified person should get the job.”
Other sayings deemed unacceptable include:
● “Everyone can succeed in this society, if they work hard enough.”
● “Where are you from or where were you born?”
● “Affirmative action is racist.”
● “When I look at you, I don’t see color.”
● “America is a melting pot.”
 
Og Mandino’s concept was that “to be successful, you only have to be a small, measureable bit better than mediocrity.” And yet today, being mediocre in deeds and thoughts and responsibilities is to be acceptable, even rewarded.

Society as a whole has succumbed to this acceptance of mediocrity, violence, misbehavior and anti-American actions and rhetoric. In recent Baltimore riots, the Mayor wanted the police to “stand down” and allow citizens to vent their frustrations and have them allowed to loot saying, “Let them loot, it’s only property.”

A CNN reporter, Fredricka Whitfield , described a recent attacker on the Dallas police station as “courageous and brave.”

During Katrina, Celine Dion Told CNN’s Larry King, “You know, some people are stealing and they’re making a big deal out of it.” And, “Oh, they’re stealing 20 pair of jeans or they’re stealing television sets. Who cares? They’re not going to go too far with it. Maybe those people are so poor, some of the people who do that they’re so poor they’ve never touched anything in their lives. Let them touch those things for once.”

“What were you thinking America?”

With all this engineered acceptance and lack of morals and social responsibility by the media, the teachers, our leaders, is it any wonder that scandals like the Clintons go unpunished, undiscussed, unrecognized with the impunity and dismissal of an 8 year old stealing cookies at a picnic?

When the president of the United States repeatedly tells millions that they can keep their doctor, keep their plan in order to sell his socialistic healthcare and then it’s revealed that it was a lie, fostered in the bowels of deceitfulness otherwise “we never would have gotten it past the people.” Lying becomes the norm – the standard.

Or he continually tells the media and the public that he doesn’t have the legal authority to grant access or amnesty to millions of immigrants because of the law – and then goes ahead and blatantly does it with the acceptance of the smiling masses waiting on their green cards, free housing and congressional paychecks.

In the future as generations of Americans sit under the weight of an economic pile of a third world poverty, or live under the tyranny of a powerful, oppressive regime, they’ll be some who look back at our current days of incessant  crime, corruption, deceit, deal making, thievery, lying, immorality, lawlessness, social nefariousness, and illogical political correctness. They’ll ask themselves…

“What were you thinking America - or were you?”

Has Our Country Has Lost Its Collective Mind?


Has Our Country Has Lost Its Collective Mind?
Al Ritter

Mitch McConnell and John Boehner have sold us down the river for the progressive movement. They don’t even pretend to serve their constituency that reelected them. Obama continues to push his agenda which has gone into overdrive. Continually our elected officials club us over the head like defenseless seal pups.

It’s damn well time we take this country back and return it to the place our founding forefathers intended. It’s time we put a limit on government, and throttle back the Supreme Court, which lately seems to mirroring Obama’s twisted agenda of supporting the very people that attacked us on Sept 11, 2001. We gave this President the benefit of the doubt in 2008 (not me) but many uninformed voters did……Even James Carville admitted that Democratic voters are idiots. How telling is that? Will the democrats even admit they are stupid or even made a mistake for the last 7 and a half years? Not even a chance I’m afraid. Carville was correct our country is being led by idiots!
Nobody will even admit it on the left; they claim the moral high ground, political correctness at ANY cost. Not only that but they excuse any and every action taken by the police to curb the falsely initiated Police brutality. I admit that there is a Police problem in our country, but it isn’t racially charged, it’s equally distributed, unfortunately Black America doesn’t see it, and our President is just as blind.
Our country continually ignores the treasonous actions of the Obama Administration supplying arms to terrorist countries. We even ignore Hillary Clinton’s violation of federal law and enable her to run for President when Federal law excludes her from that very action. The scary part is that our elected Republican legislators have ignored this law, and probably no state will remove her from the ballot based on this law. As my dear ol’ departed mother would have said……..we are headed to hell in a hand basket!
Nothing seems sacred in our country anymore; we are headed down a mineshaft with nobody in the driver’s seat! We are not only moving to the socialistic ideas but we are also moving to a total Sharia acceptant country. Obama can claim any religion he wants, but America sees which religion he supports. He does so at Israel’s peril……he has cast off our OLDEST and best ally in the Middle East and supported every terrorist regime he can possibly support.
At least this Racist, anti-Semitic President has only less than 600 days left as our divider in chief…….it’s time for America to move forward!

If You Are Black, or Gay, Get Over It


If You Are Black, or Gay, Get Over It
By Ron Boat 
We’ve made a turn in this country. From lead your own life, enjoy your friends and families, be responsible, have fun to… well… I'm not sure.
We’ve entered a period of control and power. A time when “I'm right and you’re wrong and you need to change” is the mantra of the day. Look around and tell me we’re not consumed with everyone’s opinion (valid or not) and they’re trying to trump reason, reality and civility.
Ok, we had slaves in our history and it was not a good thing but hey…. IT WAS YEARS AGO. President Lincoln made his Emancipation Proclamation on Jan 1, 1863 but slavery officially ended – ENDED (make a note) on Dec. 6th, 1865 when the 13th Amendment was ratified. BUT…I still consider that to be 150 years ago. Time enough to move on with your lives, unless of course you need the social crutch of entitlement to justify your lives. I, my family, my friends, no one I know had anything to do with the enslavement of people hundreds of years ago. So I take no responsibility, no guilt, no angst in your color or standing in life.
Never before in our history has the minority voice of groups tried to rule and control the overwhelming will of the majority. The universe has a way of evolving and developing and usually it’s to improve things. And in the realm of race relations we were improving things providing opportunities, education options, job positions and a way of interaction when most Americans don’t even think about race. Racism is something learned and fostered by the presence of those who make their living off of conflict and center their actions against society. And that problem and agenda has been resurrected and pushed from the very top of our current government.
People who constantly “remind us of slavery” and “promote racism” for their personal enrichment are not doing anyone any favors, especially the black community. How’s that Great Society working out for you? How’s the first black president performing for you and your families? GOT JOBS? Your man was elected basically because he was black – not because he was qualified. Since LBJ created the richest entitlement scheme in history, we’ve poured $40,000,000,000,000 plus into poverty. That’s a 40 TRILLION dollar investment - for basically nothing. As Charles Barkley has said, for 50 years we’ve put money out there to help the poor black people… and THEY’RE STILL POOR. And at 13% of the population… they make a lot of noise for a group that could contribute more to society with the opportunities they do have available.
And unlike Rev. King who marched peacefully expressing his views, now they make their verbal and physical statements of poverty, abuse and inequality to the masses through speeches turned into demonstrations turned into riots, turned into murders… any means possible. They want your attention. They want your sympathy. They want your pity and THEY WANT YOUR MONEY. They want their EBT cards, not to buy healthful sustenance for their families but alcohol, snacks, beer, ciggies, wine, pet food et al. Yes, the purpose of “food stamps” is not to buy these things but fact is there’s no way to enforce even the casino purchases occurring- and with your tax money.
Some 47.7 MILLION people use this method of living – not surviving – living. It’s their “food income” and while we all want people to have a safety net, IT’S NOT A HAMMOCK. And not all users are black of course, only about 22% with the balance being white, Asian, Hispanic etc. Add in Aid to Dependent Children, education grants, free medical, free cell phones, housing assistance, transportation benefits and welfare it’s a way of life for many – and they want more. They’re a poor mistreated minority – so give.
One only has to look at the recent Baltimore block party to see how much certain groups in poverty react to their own tax payer supported neighborhoods. Tax payer supported? Yes. Since Barry has come into his throne room with the very large money vault, over $1,800,000,000 (that’s over 1.8 Billion) has been poured into this city for redevelopment. And this city received more in education money per student than just about any city on earth but… one wonders where the money went, what benefit did it really have on people’s lives? Why do they continue to abuse and destroy their own lives?
This all goes to my point – You’re black? Ok, you were born that way and you nor the white guy running the drug store down the street you just burned down had anything to say about it. GET OVER IT. Take responsibility for building a quality life, take advantage of those opportunities out there that depend on personal work and achievement and stop blaming and taking because it will get you nowhere. Don’t like where you’re at? Look across the tracks and strive to better yourselves.
People have to take responsibility for their own lives, their own communities and not impose their plight on others through guilt, intimidation or social regulation. Here’s a thought for the black community. Before taking time to loot and burn, maybe you could spend some time with family. Teach and learn values and STOP HAVING 74% OF YOUR KIDS OUT OF WEDLOCK in fatherless homes. Blacks complain of their lot in life with poverty and yet without an education, without values, without work there is no future and you're destined for nothingness…. And other people of any race are tired of hearing about it. It’s tough to have sympathy for people of any race who want – but won’t give.
Americans are tired of having their lives run and ruined by the small groups with the loudest megaphone. The gay community used to live in the personal belief of “leave us alone.” That changed when people discovered social justice and decided that making a noise, pushing for agendas and demanding rights was more a goal in life than just living your life in peace. Don’t you all get tired of showing up everywhere and taking your time and money to hassle people who are starting to hate you? I have gay friends. I don’t care about their lives. They don’t care about yours either as they just lead their professional lives, enjoy great dinners out, traveling the world and striving for a peaceful existence. Donning your peacock feathers, parading nude or carrying hateful banners doesn’t appeal to them any more than to the straight community.
People are tired of having their country changed, manipulated, ruled by small groups of flaming, extroverted, tutu wearing, social awareness campaigners. They’d like us to believe that the growing numbers of gay Americans are around 10-11% of the population and deserve “equal treatment” whatever that means. The facts are that in 2014, the National Health Interview Survey came up with only 1.6% of Americans as gay. And most Americans treat them as people, not socially abused freaks. I submit this article for your consideration of the agenda we’re all facing from minorities:
So we’re to change our lives, be forced to perform weddings, bake multi-colored pastries and take man-kissing-man photos for 1.6% of the population – many of which aren’t concerned with your overall embarrassing process of gaydom expression? Normal, religious people are to have their lives ruined, their financial futures and businesses gone for the sake of your flour, sugar and colored-stripped flag draped wedding cake?
Your personal life means nothing to me, how you live, where you live, what you do or where you go. You’re gay, it’s fine. You deserve equal rights but not special rights. The very definition of marriage is between a man and a woman so in your quest for defining your rights to be “married,” you’re not changing the law, you're attempting to change the dictionary.
Remember the signs “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone”? They may have originally been there to signify the refusal of service to those who were drunk, unruly, or otherwise disrupting a business. But since everyone got into everyone else’s personal and religious lives, it also applies if you want to invade my personal religious beliefs, asking me to change my values for the sake of your three tiered icing laden calorie monument with the two tuxedoed guys on top.
The bottom line… we’re all probably individual parts of a minority group of some sort. But being older, gray haired and in need of losing a few pounds doesn’t dictate that you give me free hair color treatments, complimentary gym memberships or free taxi rides in case I can’t walk to the mailbox. I accept my plight in life and deal with it and take care of myself.
Live within the laws of reason and life, and if you’re really harmed in some way, then make a noise but don’t burn down a pharmacy or parade nude in front of children. You’re drawing attention to yourself – not your grievance. Fight for your rights but don’t try to create new ones “just because.” You’ll lead a more fulfilled and happy life, not worrying about what demonstration you’re going to this weekend and whether or not you packed your sateen wedgies for the ball.
You’re black? You’re gay? Get over it.

Baltimore Fails Its Citizens


Baltimore Fails Its Citizens
Al Ritter 

Baltimore is my city; I have lived within 10 miles of the city limits all my life. I have watched the riots of 1968, and I have watched the blight of urban decay increase for the last 40+ years. I have watched as the population has dwindled from a high of 930,000 in 1950 to 622,000 in 2014, a low that Baltimore hasn’t seen since 1915! In 1968 the Black population stood at 46% while in 2015 that percentage has increased to 63%.
To Baltimore’s credit the Black Leadership has followed the trend of the increasing Black population. Unfortunately other trends have increased also. Poverty has increased, drug use has increased, and the Black incarceration rate has also increased. Is this a nationwide trend or are there other problems that fuel the racial divide in America?
In 1967 the political climate was changing rapidly and Maryland as a whole was morphing from red into blue. Spiro Agnew was the last Republican Governor of any significance as the winds of change blew into Baltimore. Clarence “Du” Burns was the first Black elected Mayor of Baltimore in 1987 followed by 3 more. All Mayors of Baltimore since 1967 have been Democrats. Six of the last eight Governors have been Democrats since 1967.
Democratic strongholds in major US Cities have historically shown declines in both population, and available jobs, in similar periods and Baltimore is no exception.
We watched last night as rioters lit up Baltimore’s skies in retaliation for the questionable death of Freddie Gray. This was a man arrested a week earlier and died in Police custody of a broken spine and crushed voice box. Protests were held the day before his burial but turned into violence before their end by what Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake referred to as an “outside influence.” She also stated at that time that they wish to give those people a voice to express their concerns and first amendment rights. However a follow up to that statement is where things have turned this city into a pressure cooker. She stated that she wanted to “give those people who wished to destroy room to do so.”  “Outside influences” as the Mayor termed it should be held in the same regard as “inside influences” they are both law enforcement issues, and arrests should be made accordingly regardless of where they are from.
I see many problems in her attempts to control her city. #1 we watched the City of North Charleston SC handle what could have been an equally horrible situation. Where Walter Scott was shot in the back while running from a Police Officer, and was caught on an amateur video. Racial tensions were handled quickly and efficiently, as the officer was fired immediately and murder charges were brought against him. Unfortunately Baltimore City has not been as forth coming as to its investigation of Mr. Gray’s death. The only thing that has been announced is the cause of death, and nothing else has followed. #2 The Mayor has blatantly fanned the flames and allowed the rioters to vent their frustration on property before calling out the National Guard last evening about 6 PM. #3 Her inability to control the situation has led to the additional looting and destruction which I see was caused by her own personal vanity.
This can’t be considered as racial rioting, because the Mayor and her team are all Black, the Police Commissioner, and the majority of the City Council is all Black, so this isn’t about COLOR. This is about the inability of Democrats' to run a City effectively; it’s about poor decisions from an inexperienced person in charge. This is about not keeping the public informed on a Police shooting that ended badly and has touched off a powder keg of distrust.
Governor Hogan has waited patiently for the Mayor to admit the situation is out of control. She finally admitted that last night by requesting the National Guard, but then in two moves equally puzzling she held off mandatory curfew until this evening the 28th, and she closed the City School System knowing that most of the damage yesterday afternoon was done by students. So today the students will be hanging around the streets waiting for new trouble to start and won’t be subject to the curfew until 10 PM this evening.
Last night Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake also stated she welcomes Rev Al Sharpton into her town to participate in additional protests. The mistakes this mayor has made in the last week are monumental, and the responsibility rests entirely on HER shoulders. All of these situations could have been curtailed by a person who could have nipped these protests turned riots in the bud, and informed the community what actions were being taken in the investigation into Freddie Gray’s death. I might add that as of right now they still haven’t said anything about it……..and this is along with Al Sharpton’s arrival is a recipe for further disaster.

Give Me Liberty


"Give me Liberty"
William G. Burmer   

      The trend in media today has become more about being pithy, than in investigating and presenting truth and fact as it really is; which includes the political intrigue, plots and crafty schemes used to distract our attention from  daily  assaults upon our God given rights, and the Constitution itself. This along with the more practical execution of those laws, pertaining to those who have abused their authority and thumb their nose at law as if it did not apply to them.  

     More than in anytime in current history we as a people must join together in opposition to these trends. “We The People” have a duty to expose those who oppose our Constitution and Bill of Rights, those who would trample over our God given agency to choose Liberty and Freedom, over political tyranny or expediency.  

     Our rights come from God.  Our Founders clearly understood this as they framed our Constitution.  George Washington said in part "...religion and morality are indispensable supports..." further "...reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle." That applies most directly upon those chosen, elected or appointed to lead our nation, our states, our counties and cities.  

      What is the trend today?  To exclude, obliterate, castigate, or expunge any mention of God at all costs, most especially within all government circles.  This attitude cannot continue to stand! It seeks to remove from history the very thing (God) that separates America from the rest of every other government in the world. 

      Let it be known that it is our sacred duty to preserve our Constitution along with its principles as currently outlined if we are to remain free to exercise our agency, and enjoy liberty. We believe that Our Constitution as framed is as much from God as is the Ten Commandments.   

     Those principles so founded by our Fathers if taken from us will only be restored by the blood of good men and women. The biggest threat to our liberties today are those who work in secret, those who would compromise with evil, will beget evil, and the people will suffer. Those who would think my thoughts conspiratorial, out of touch, or deranged, would do well to remember history, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and others, who brought so much tyranny and death upon their people during WWII, all for wealth and or power.   

      There are many in our own branches of Congress, Senate, and Executive who would, and have compromised their own principles, it ever they had any to begin with, for gain, and for power rather than serve the people they were elected to represent. I could name names, but it would fill another page or more. Shame on them. 
 
     One who follows the news of the day does not have to second guess the trends played out by many of our elected officials to see what is currently happening to America. We believed we had chosen good men and women at our last election however, we have since discovered that we have elected many, so called fence sitters, whom have no principle, and have prayed upon us like wolves upon helpless lambs, damn the rod of tyranny curse it!  

      Let every man and woman use his or her Liberties according to the Constitution to crush these traitors. Remove them from office, impeach them, and try them for the treasonous acts they have brought upon our great nation.  We must choose good over evil. We cannot expect the Lord God above to protect us unless we are willing to expose truth, try those who have perverted our Law, and do all we can to preserve our liberties. To honor the Constitution and Freedom is a sacred duty for all of us.  Our Freedom is at stake.  God Help us.
