Clinton scandals have a way of bumping and rolling along to a point where nobody can remember why there was any outrage to begin with. So in the interest of clarity, let’s take the latest news in the Hillary email escapade, and distill it into its basic pieces:

• Nothing Mrs. Clinton has said so far on the subject is correct. The Democratic presidential aspirant on March 10 held a press conference pitched as her first and last word on the revelation that she’d used a private email server while secretary of state. She told reporters that she’d turned over to the State Department “all my emails that could possibly be work-related.” And she insisted that she “did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified material.”

I try not to talk about politics and current event with family members on the other side of the political spectrum.  For some unknown reason, I felt compelled on the 4th of July to test my brother-in-law’s knowledge on Hillary.  Actually, the reason wasn’t unknown but rather in my face when I caught my brother-in-law in a lie.  “Hillary is highly qualified for the presidency,” he said.  Granted, such blind sycophancy should be left alone, but I had to ask him for a simple reason he thought so highly of her.

“Name two of her accomplishments since she is so highly qualified?” I asked.  The silence that followed turned out to be rather embarrassing.  I expected a couple of off-the-cuff meaningless examples about being appointed to the Secretary of State or her election to the Senate.  He couldn’t come up with anything!  Not even a quip about Hillary being a receptacle for Bill Clinton’s semen was uttered!   This is really par for the course regarding Clinton supporters and interviews of these empty minds bear out this sad reality. Mindless young people expound about Hillary’s fantastic image, yet come up completely empty on her accomplishments.  This video is worth a few good laughs, but you might find yourself crying in despair.  The ignorance of these people is dumbfounding and they are probably the majority.  Is it any wonder Barry was elected and reelected?  She can’t even name any of her accomplishments!

Diversity is our greatest asset – Neera Tanden and Angela Glover Blackwell

The face of America is changing. More than half of all babies in the United States are now of color. By the end of this decade, most youth will be too. Within three decades, more than half of all Americans will be people of color.

But even as our country grows more diverse, inequity for people of color continues to grow. The Great Recession caused a huge and disproportionate drop in wealth for people of color. Black family wealth fell 31 percent; Latino family wealth dropped 44 percent, while white families lost only 11 percent of their wealth. As a result, families of color went from having a quarter of the wealth of white families to just one-sixth.

These opposing trends — increasing inequity in the midst of rapid demographic changes across the country — require us to reassess our priorities and acknowledge that the future prosperity of the United States depends on embracing our nation’s diversity today. Our chasms are deep. But if we address these gaps, we can grow more robustly.

The swine said

They never tell you what it means to embrace diversity.  The meaningless buzz word is basically code for government intervention in the form of quotas, affirmative action, and other measures that snuff out liberty.  Tanden and Blackwell’s pleas, demands, and grievances focus on society at large because they are fronting for the “victims”; something akin to the tail wagging the dog since the expectation of the race hustler centers on the rest of us accommodating the designated special groups defined by race.  The values of personal responsibility and hard work are not part of the equation since such values would diminish the hustler’s base.  A responsible and hard working citizen of any color makes his own way in life and has little use for someone who peddles divisive rhetoric while promoting envy and hopelessness.

Thomas Sowell’s explanation of race hucksters provides a clear insight into the misdirection employed by the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Not-So-Sharpton.  Neera Tanden and Angela Glover Blackwell part of that machine designed to promote cognitive dissonance marketed as diversity.  They are all about big government and despise the free market.

A Clear Choice

The Low Information Vote’s Choice For Mayor

Moral decay in politics has many benchmarks.  Slick Willy and his cigar make a great example.  Clinton managed to keep his job though impeached.  A confused and morally bankrupt Congress insured that he kept the highest office in the land.  It should have never been a question of whether Bill stayed, but rather how soon could he be jettisoned from the White House.  So much for standards and accountability.

Now enter Anthony Weiner.  The degenerate who resigned his seat as a New York representative now seeks the New York mayor’s office.  Only in the land of confusion where low information voters rule the day could such a pathetic candidate have any traction.  The new revelations of continued sexting will probably be the death knell for this pervert, but ponder the fact that Weiner’s first scandal didn’t encourage him to put the brakes on his political ambitions given blatantly obvious lapse of good judgement.  However, it seems good judgement isn’t a necessary job skill in politics; just look around at all the red ink and it doesn’t take long to realize that the public is incapable of electing responsible leaders.

It’s a long and humiliating road, but my guy had some awesome coattails to hold onto.

Simply put, a man who jeopardizes his marriage demonstrates poor judgement. The callous nature of his perversion is multiplied when his conduct doesn’t cease nor diminish with the knowledge that he will soon be a father.  Such profound disrespect of his wife and his family to be should automatically disqualify him from holding any public office.  Not so in New York.

How to Prevent Teen Pregnancy: Pay Teens Not to Get Pregnant | TIME.com

Damn it! I’m not going to get that government check!

Fair enough. But if we want to get serious about values, we might try an approach with a much more successful track record of behavior change: paying teenagers not to get pregnant. For every person who makes it to age 21 without becoming pregnant or impregnating someone else, the government should dip into the funds we’d otherwise spend caring for infants and teen moms and instead pay a significant cash bonus directly to the young person.

Sex and money have always been drivers of human behavior, but health officials rarely exploit this synergy to maximum benefit. Cash payments to teens could be doubly effective, reducing the number of teen pregnancies (which are declining nationwide but are still high relative to those of other developed countries) while producing what researchers call a “secondary outcome” by teaching self-regulation, patience and the ability to plan for the future—all valuable life skills.

Another moronic idea from the la la liberal land of ideas.  We already subsidize the unmotivated and clueless with tax money which only insures that they stay unmotivated and clueless while they procreate with impunity for bigger government  benefits.   Now crazed liberals want to reward young people with our tax money for avoiding pregnancy till the magic age of 21!  What kind of posters would Bloomberg put up?  “Don’t Procreate–Masterbate!”  Does getting an abortion keep you in the running for the free cash reward for not becoming a baby’s mama?  I don’t know, but I just see too many loop holes.  Gays would by definition be excluded from rewards, but how would anyone know?  The government would have to start registering citizen’s sexual orientation since the program is targeting heterosexuals.  I see too many problems here.  Furthermore, the program would reward asexual people for just being themselves!

Government should just stay out of our lives and stick to incarcerating criminals, maintain an army, and secure our borders.  Only one of the aforementioned three, the army, government seems to do well.  With such a track record, should it really venture into other areas of our lives since waste, failure, and entrenched special interests usually grow out of control?  The author of this article need to take her “synergy of maximum benefit” and stick it up her non-reproductive orifice.  This is clearly one of the most stupid articles I’ve ever read and I’m proud to share the liberal lunacy.

This is the moment Ann Coulter wound Whoopi Goldberg up to breaking point as she appeared on The View on Thursday to promote her controversial new book.

Coulter took less than 30 seconds to get under the host’s skin, confidently claiming: ‘I write these books because I try to correct things people believe that are just false.’

Armed with copies of Mugged, she argued that America’s ‘legacy of slavery’ has lead to civil rights only ‘belonging to blacks’, much to Goldberg’s disgust.

What is depressing about this show is the waste of air time that is given to these mindless women who blew their chance to ask intelligent questions of Ann.  If Ms. Coulter is wrong, then prove it.  Humiliate her by exposing the big lie she writes about; kill her slowly by shedding light on whatever chicanery she conjured up in her book.  Well, that won’t happen on The View.  Liberals can’t win on the battle field of ideas where logic and reason rule.  They prefer to make noise, bathe in hyperbole, and discuss anything but the topic while they project their own flaws onto a conservative. Whoopi is simply intolerant and her colleagues are every bit as ignorant.  It is amazing how the public will actually watch a show like this; it’s an intellectually dishonest and insults the intelligence of the viewer.  Did Ann really need the publicity that bad?  Now go on Amazon and order her book!

Another Example Of Government Ignoring The Solution While Creating A Wasteful Program

Suicide is the cause of more deaths than car crashes, according to an alarming new study.

The number of people who commit suicide in the U.S. has drastically increased while deaths from car accidents have dropped, making suicide the leading cause of injury death.

Suicides via falls or poisoning have risen significantly and experts fear that there could be many more unaccounted for, particularly in cases of overdose.

The swine said

Sure, spend tax money to address a symptom of government overreach by creating more government overreach.  The suicide rate is up because the economy is in the tank.  It’s in the tank because of government policy.  More government means less freedom.  Less freedom mean less opportunity, less innovation, less investment, and more stagnation.  More suicides would be prevented with policies that grow and enhance the U.S. economy than any government suicide prevention program.  More lives would be saved if government got out of the business of creating a dependent constituency.  That would require giving up some “power.”  That’s not going to happen.

Target Promotes Homosexuality

Guess who won’t shop at Target anymore!

The swine said

I tend to equate religion with ones sexual orientation.  Go ahead and practice all you want, but please keep it out of my face.  If you are a decent human being, straight or gay, you should be protected from violence and discrimination.  Just don’t expose my children to your deviance with television programs, ads, and educational curriculum that attempts to lend legitimacy to your lifestyle.

The trend to legitimize homosexuality continues to gather more steam and attract mindless followers.   Target made a mistake by creating a gay marriage ad like the one posted above.  I like to buy my stuff without getting messages like this.  Target can be pro gay by simply not discriminating; the in-you-face ad that promotes a deviant lifestyle simply tells me I have to shop elsewhere.  You want to stick some agenda in my face and take my money?  I don’t think so.  Especially when I don’t agree with the agenda!

Furthermore, alderman have no business banning Target from opening a store in his district because of its in-you-face pro gay agenda.  Let the chips fall where they may, but don’t have overreaching politicians try to mess with the free market. Target has every right to sell its products and government shouldn’t get in the way of economic activity because someone doesn’t like their values.  Let the customers decide.  In the meantime, my money is going to Walmart.

Jesse Jackson’s “Career” Revived by Death Of Teen Though Regrets Shooter Wasn’t Pure White

He still tries to make a mountain out of a mole hill. Did he ever really have a real job?

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson said Friday that he’s grateful the rest of the country has sat up and taken notice of the tragic slaying of Trayvon Martin. But he can’t help but wonder: Why has it taken so long for everyone else to recognize the chronic injustices that African Americans face?

“We’re surprised that everyone else is surprised,” Jackson told the Los Angeles Times. African Americans have tried for decades to get the rest of America to understand their plight, he said, particularly their beliefs that justice is still elusive in many parts of America, especially the Deep South.

Then along comes the Trayvon Martin case, and facts that are not in contention: Volunteer neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman pursued and then gunned down the unarmed 17-year-old last month, and never faced arrest because police said there was no evidence to contradict his claim that he fired in self-defense.

The swine says...

Mr. Jackson exercised his innate ability to distort and profit from a tragedy.  Black activists in general love to promote the victim mentality among people who have a high melanin content.  Sadly, their shenanigans highlight the aberrations while failing to call attention to the real problems that afflict blacks i.e. illegitimacy, crime, drug addiction, etc. Racism should really be far down list of issues that are keeping minorities from moving forward.  More often than not, the race industry just wants to keep the divisions and promote discord because players like Mr. Jackson profit from chaos and hatred.

Soldiers asked to disarm during Leon Panetta speech

“All I know is I was told to get the weapons out,” he said. Asked why, he replied: “Somebody got itchy — that’s all I’ve got to say. Somebody got itchy. We just adjust.”

Less than a week after a US staff sergeant allegedly massacred 16 civilians in Kandahar, American soldiers were banned from bringing guns into a talk by Mr Panetta at a base in Helmand province.

Around 200 troops who had gathered in a tent at Camp Leatherneck were told “something had come to light” and asked abruptly to file outside and lay down their automatic rifles and 9mm pistols.

“Somebody got itchy, that’s all I’ve got to say. Somebody got itchy – we just adjust,” said the sergeant who was told to clear the hall of weapons.

Major General Mark Gurganus later said he gave the order because Afghan troops attending the talk were unarmed and he wanted the policy to be consistent for all.

via Soldiers asked to disarm during Leon Panetta speech – Telegraph.

In a sign of the nervousness surrounding the trip, a sergeant major abruptly told the Marines gathered to hear Mr. Panetta in a tent at Camp Leatherneck to get up, place their M-16 and M-4 automatic rifles and 9-millimeter pistols outside, and return unarmed. The sergeant major, Brandon Hall, told reporters that he was acting on orders.

Normally, American forces in Afghanistan keep their weapons when the defense secretary visits and speaks to them. The Afghans in the tent had not been armed to begin with, as is typical.

Later, American officials said that the top military official in Helmand, Maj. Gen. Mark Gurganus, had decided on Tuesday that no one would be armed while Mr. Panetta spoke, but that word had not reached those in charge in the tent until shortly before Mr. Panetta was due to arrive.

General Gurganus told reporters later that he had wanted a consistent policy for everyone in the tent, and that “I wanted to have the Marines look just like their Afghan partners,” noting, “You’ve got one of the most important people in the world in the room.” He insisted that his decision had had nothing to do with the massacre; later, defense officials said the decision had had nothing to do with the truck at the airfield.

Alas, the lessons of Fort Hood just didn’t seem to permeate the minds of our so called “leaders.”  How many U.S. soldiers have been killed by so-called Afghan allies over the years?  The Taliban is vowing retaliation?  Maybe they should think twice since those killings by the American may just have been his version of retaliation, though horrible and ultimately futile.  I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more often given the vague and unrealistic mission our soldiers are charged to adhere to.  They see their fellow soldiers getting killed for basically nothing.  What is the ultimate objective anyway?  Stripping professional and dedicated soldiers of their weapons is demonstrates the cowardice and the out-of-touch mentality of politicians–especial the one that make up the current administration.
