Lightning round II …

Okay, I’ve dealt with the recent stuff from Harry, Nancy, Oprah and Obama and his minions …

So let’s move on.

The Knock-out Game

If you need more proof that we are descending into madness, this is it. Black kids are seeing if they can knock someone out with a single punch.  And it’s overwhelmingly – if not virtually exclusively – black kids doing this.  They don’t know the people they are punching.  But they are happily recording their greatest hits and posting their videos online or sending these to their friends so everyone can share their magic moment of mindless violence.  

People have been seriously injured.  At least one person has been killed.  But the media are going out of their way to pretend this isn’t another instance of black kids run amuck.  So they are now trying desperately to find reports that non-blacks are also involved in the knock-out games. 

They have been able to find one or two.  But that’s about it.  This is a black thing, by young black thugs, targeting innocent people, for no other reason but sport and bragging rights. 

Sharpton finally emerged to say this was wrong.  Good for him.  But these thugs aren’t going to listen to Sharpton.  Nor do they think there’s anything wrong with it – it’s just fun.  They call attacks on whites “Polar Bear Hunting”; attacks on Jews in New York are called “Punch A Jew.” 

These are racist attacks by a young black element that’s increasingly out of control.  Please stop with the BS that blacks can’t be racists.  Please stop with the BS that proportionally more black men are in prison simply because the system discriminates against blacks.  Please stop the BS that if we spent more in the inner cities young blacks would cease being violent criminals. 

And above all, please stop the nonsense that it’s unfair to engage in racial profiling as a predictor of potential criminality.  If the stats show that young black males have a much higher probability of committing violent crimes than other racial groups, then go ahead and focus on them.  In high-crime areas stop and frisk young black males and subject them to more scrutiny. 

Screw political correctness. 

Maybe if we do this we’ll slow the trend.  If we don’t it’s only a matter of time before one of these thugs picks the wrong target – some citizen with a carry permit who isn’t playing the game.  Then the Sharptons and Jacksons of the world will howl about racists with guns. 

The rest of us will shrug.  

Census Bureau cooking the books

Honestly, is anyone surprised at this? Of course the books were cooked to make it seem unemployment was going down right before the last election – a claim Obama was happy to publicize.  Leading financial people and economists couldn’t see how unemployment could possibly be down then, based on the data they had.  The numbers made no sense. 

Now we know why they were down.  Census Bureau folks faked the data.  

It’s long past time for Americans to wake up and realize that the government and government workers aren’t politically impartial.  The government is an entity unto itself, with its own rules.  And the primary rule is to protect the status quo against any change, or any threat to the sweet deals government workers and government contractors enjoy. 

So when Republicans propose to reduce the size of government, Republicans become the enemy of the government and government workers.  When conservatives talk about reducing waste in government – read:  cut pay, benefits and jobs of “non-essential” government workers – they also become the enemy of government and government workers. 

Government and government workers much prefer Democrats who promise to increase the size of government.  That’s also why government-worker unions are solidly behind Democrats. 

And it also explains why the Census Bureau cooked the books to support Obama, the IRS targeted conservative groups, the State Department withholds Benghazi data, and the Justice Department withholds information on embarrassing programs.

Get used to it.

Martin Bashir and Sarah Palin  

Our pals at MSNBC hit a new low when one of their on-air commentators – Martin Bashir – said that Sarah Palin was an idiot, and for making a reference to slavery someone should defecate in her mouth and urinate on her. 

Don’t know about you, but I think that trumps Rush Limbaugh’s references to Sandra Fluke in the context of a slut and a prostitute on the outrage meter. This takes it up a whole notch or so.   

What Sarah Palin originally said was this:  “Our free stuff today is being paid for by taking money from our children and borrowing from China. When that money comes due – and this isn’t racist, but it’ll be like slavery when that note is due. We are going to (be) beholden to the foreign master.”

I’m not a huge fan of Sarah Palin’s and sometimes she does say dopey things.  This wasn’t one of those times.  It certainly didn’t warrant Bashir’s comments.   Of course a lot of folks on the looney left didn’t see anything wrong with what Bashir said. 

You see, the far left can get away with saying anything because – as we know – they have the moral high ground.  So they can call Laura Ingraham a slut and it’s okay.  And say that someone should defecate in Sarah Palin’s mouth and that’s okay, too.  

But call Sandra Fluke a slut and it’s an outrage.      

Bashir did apologize.  Well then, everything’s okay, right? 

ObamaCare ads

Don’t get me wrong, I like sexy, provocative ads.  But when the government runs ads featuring a young woman hoping to bed a cute guy, and thankful that she has free birth control because of ObamaCare, that's not sexy; that's silly. The only thing these will provoke is ridicule.     

Sure, I know they are trying to get young people to sign up. They NEED young healthy people to sign up to balance out all the old, sick people frothing through their dentures to get coverage.  If the plans end up with just the old and ill, it will be a disaster.  Rates will skyrocket. 

But really, do they think young healthy women are going to sign up because birth control will then be free?  I think the current generations aren’t all that smart – not nearly as smart as they think they are, and certainly not as smart as their mommies and daddies have told them all their lives.  

However, even an idiot can see that paying a couple of hundred bucks a month just to get $10 worth of birth control pills for free is a bad deal. 

Or maybe not.  If they can’t, perhaps we’re all better off if they don’t reproduce.    

More to come …
