Interracial couples still an issue? SERIOUSLY?!?

You have to read this article so I can vent a bit.... I cut and paste some of it to effectively rip it to shreds, but the link is posted immediately below so you can read the entire article if you wish...

Interracial Couple Refused Marriage License in Louisiana - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com

HAMMOND, La. — A Louisiana justice of the peace said he refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple out of concern for any children the couple might have.

Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish, says it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not last long.

DAS GOOB COMMENT: It is unbelievable that in today's environment this sort of happy horse crap still exists. WHAT makes this guy such an elitist that he can impose his opinion on the world and be taken seriously... I guess it is true he has the right to refuse it.... but don't expect people to continue to like you if you do!

"I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way," Bardwell told the Associated Press on Thursday. "I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else."

DAS GOOB COMMENT: "...piles and piles of black friends."? Piles? Nice use of words, loser. "They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom." WHAT THE....? What does your bathroom have to do with it? How is the fact you lets blacks use your bathroom show anyone that you are compassionate to them? Are you kidding me? The more he opens his mouth, the easier it is to see through this mentally challenged person's flawed personality. "I treat them just like everyone else." Obviously, you don't or this story would not be written. EVERYONE ELSE does not look down on interracial marriage! Just you, the Klan, and a fringe group of people deprived of oxygen at birth.

Bardwell said he asks everyone who calls about marriage if they are a mixed race couple. If they are, he does not marry them, he said.

Bardwell said he has discussed the topic with blacks and whites, along with witnessing some interracial marriages. He came to the conclusion that most of black society does not readily accept offspring of such relationships, and neither does white society, he said.

DAS GOOB COMMENT: Jerks like him are the reason racism even survives today. I am the first to punk out losers who use racism as a crutch to excuse a plethora of issues, but in this case, it is clear it is a part of his modus operandi. I am sure his research was extensive and well thought out.

Put this in your research, neanderthal! I have several (more than 3 in case the English language escapes you) friends that are in an interracial relationship, all with kids. In the time I have been associated with these families, I have never witnessed or been informed of a single incident even remotely related to racism, favoritism, or social segregation. The children are friends with my children, learn, play sports, laugh, cry and socialize side by side. Unlike you, kids don't really notice or care. Oh, and by the way, I live in one of the most conservative states in the US!

"There is a problem with both groups accepting a child from such a marriage," Bardwell said. "I think those children suffer and I won't help put them through it."

DAS GOOB COMMENT: What if the female is barren or if the male is sterile? Would you marry them? What if they agreed to adopt only? Would you marry them? Of course not... because you are more concerned with your own agenda.

If he did an interracial marriage for one couple, he must do the same for all, he said.

"I try to treat everyone equally," he said.

DAS GOOB COMMENT: To treat everyone equally is to allow them to marry, regardless of race. You are NOT treating them equally. Will you marry a Spanish immigrant and a white? How about an Asian and a white? How about an Asian and a Israeli? What does your extensive research say for that? Do you need to break out a color wheel for your answer? Go ahead, I will wait while you ask the King Poo Ba of your chapter of the Klan...

Read the rest of the article if you wish..... up to you. I have read it top to bottom and I can save you the time. This guy is a moron..... (it sure is sweet having a blog allowing me to be a name caller..... therapeutic for me..... ).

My only predicament? I actually am in agreement with the ACLU! I know! Weird.

Ugh... What a pile of useless flesh.

Lockerbie Murderer Freed on Compassion? Really?

Cheers of joy and chants of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi were made as he descended from the jetway of the plane that took him home. I am sure his "followers" are thrilled and family is ecstatic.

al-Megrahi was a convicted murderer, responsible for the bombing of Pan Am flight that was flying over Lockerbie, Scottland in 1988. All 259 on board were killed, as well as 11 on the ground. al-Megrahi, as tried by a panel of his peers, was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison (with a minimum of 27 years to be served).

Unfortunately, the Scottish have a "Humanity Clause", so as he dies of colon cancer, and has been given 3 months to live, they released him back to his home country of Libya. He served 8 years in prison. That is a equivalent of 11 days behind bars per victim. Think about that and let that sink in for a while. Let's say I blew up your sister/mother/lover/father/brother/BFF up in their car as they were traveling home for Christmas (which was the case for this flight). And I get sentenced to serve life in prison, yet only end up being in prison for 11 days. Would you be happy about that? I didn't think so. If you killed my wife or daughter(s) and got 11 days in prison, let's just say I would be there to make sure your day of freedom is your last.

Where is the "humanity" for the 270 people that perished that day, or the countless family members and friends affected by this cruel and evil deed? Why cant their suffering be taken into account? It isn't. It wasn't an accident, it wasn't even manslaughter. It was straight up murder of the first degree (premeditated).

I feel horrible for the families and friends of those lost in this gruesome well publicized tragedy, and all the pain they will undoubtedly feel all over again as this cold blooded killer walks free again. I hope there is something you can focus on to help you find the good in all that is bad.

Me, on the other hand, don't have that level of compassion in me. I am just cold that way. I instead envision al-Megrahi flying home to be with his family for one last time as his life is nearly over...... relaxing in his comfortable first class seat...... asking for some more water........ BANG!!!!! If only it could be done without another single innocent person being captured in it...... It would be justice having him fall to his death, feeling that inevitable panic as you see your death meeting you. So many fell that way on that cold day in 1988. If only he could get a little of his own medicine.

I know.... cold..... but so very appropriate for this killer...... even if it was nearly 21 years ago. I guarantee you he is much more cold and calculated inside with his lack of respect for life. Not a military target, not a camp of rebels...... no, he blew up innocent civilians.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!

National Health Care, or should we call it Waste Gate?

I know that there is some very polarizing efforts on both sides of the fence to be for/against socialized health care and having a national plan to cover everyone in the country.

I won't even dive into the reasons to oppose social medicine (I have already done that in the past) nor will we allow emotion rule the roost here. This post is pure fact, driven 100% by numbers, and NOTHING ELSE. We can debate the woes at another date.

These numbers, by the way, were released by the GAO, which is a part of the Obama administration. Not by right whacko's or hateful white males.....This is Administration numbers released in a flurry to the public. I may not be a economist, but I am a thinking man, and here is what I came up with.

They say that 36 million (36,000,000) people will receive benefit from the new nationalized heath care plan, allowing them to receive some or all services they were not eligible for in the past. They also stated that his number includes 20 million (20,000,000) that currently have health insurance but would be eligible for the national version. That leaves this to cover 16 million (16,000,000) uninsured Americans, allowing them to smile again and stand up straight!

Now to the cost. The administration number, which are debatable, is 1.5 trillion dollars (1,500,000,000,000!) over the next 10 years. We will stick with this number, even though the heavily left controlled Senate today already bumped that up to 1.6 trillion dollars, but what is 100 billion amongst friends, right? So, the cost is roughly 150 billion dollars a year.

Take that 150,000,000,000 and divide it by the 16,000,000 benefactors and what do you get? Yeah...... That is $9375 dollars per person per year for national health care. Per person per year! A family of four costs.....duh....37,500 dollars! That is considerably more expensive than it would cost for John Q Public to purchase his very own private health care plan! Did I mention that this plan, for the national health care, also contains clauses that state that there will be additional limits to what care you can receive with this program? Yes. Rationing health care. Where the government tells you what is reasonable and prudent. We all know how that works out in government.

This my friends, is pure government waste and robbery. The numbers don't lie..... Who is going to pay for this? Can someone, ANYONE, please tell me where the money is going to come from to pay for this? Please, PLEASE, tell me! Enlighten me!

I am tired of watching our politicians dance around every singe question. Tell me. HOW ARE WE GOING TO PAY FOR IT?

OUR LEADER SHOPS at BEST BUY!!!!

Ya know....it is pretty obvious that the new socialist based administration is not my favorite. Far from it. These guys really don't understand the concept of Limited Government. But the latest just cracks me up.

Remember when the media would continually gaff at President George W. Bush's every move, waiting for a slip of the tongue, a trip of the words, or even the throwing of a shoe! They couldn't WAIT for him to make a move, in hopes it would lead to "News". They would love to say how unpolished and embarrassing he was.

Entering from stage.......well....LEFT, of course....comes President Barack Obama. Didn't see this on NBC....or CBS....and it received a parting comment from ABC.... but it is certainly on the blogs and overseas newspapers! Let me paint the picture for you:

Three weeks ago, the Prime Minister of United Kingdom, Gordon Brown, met with President Obama for the first time since his election. During the normal pleasantries, it is traditional for each allied leader to present gifts to each other; a symbolic gesture of good will, have you. PM Brown, understanding the gravity of the history related to President Obama's rise to power, pulled a good one out of his hat. He presented President Obama with a pen holder, hand carved out of the wood that once made up the Victorian anti slave ship H.M.S. Gannet. A wonderful and thoughtful gift as is, but also historic since the H.M.S Gannet is a sister ship to the H.M.S Resolute, which infamous history most kids remember from the movie "National Treasure". For those of you who don't watch movies, the timbers from that ship were used for a very ornamental desk that was given to the United States and has been residing in the Oval Office since 1880!

But wait! There is more! PM Brown also gave the President a framed commission for the H.M.S. Resolute as well as a first edition 7 volume set of the Biography of Winston Churchill. All in all, quite a thought out and appropriate gift from your number one ally....in the WORLD!

I am sure that our President was adequately prepared and ready to provide a gift to a world leader that would sum up his respect for PM Brown and the United Kingdom. Why, yes he was......

President Obama (join me now with wild cheering and trumpets piping off in the background) gave PM Brown................25 DVD collection.

Are you kidding me? 25 DVD collection? Don't you think that the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has the power to navigate his computer to bestbuy.com? Or Amazon.com? C'MON! That is utterly embarrassing! Simply embarrassing! What a joke! Did I mention that they were NTSC formatted, unable to be played on a U.K. DVD player? P.S. They were not Blue Ray either....

Now, I could list them to you, but that is a whole other article in itself. Look it up for yourself....and be prepared to laugh.... (ex. Star Wars Episode IV.....just Episode IV).

I could also rant about the exchange between first ladies, where First Lady Brown gave the Obama girls dresses from famous U.K. store along with 6 children's books.....not yet released in US. First Lady Obama..........yeahhhhhhh... gave two models of Marine One to the Brown boys. Strike Two!

Enough there.....Let's step into the present, shall we?

G20 summit. Goin' ON! Representin'! President Obama gets to hang with the Queen, which he said a few weeks ago, "What I love the most about Great Britain is the Queen!" Awkward....anyway....the President's wish of meeting the Queen is coming true. They meet...they shake hands....our First Lady steps in front and blocks Prince Phillip to glad hand and have pictures with the Queen.....smooth....and places her hand on the Queen's shoulder.....oopsie! Prince Phillip and the Queen overlook this of course, with Prince Phillip stepping back and nearly disappearing from frame. Then comes the gift exchange.

Now, few weeks have past, the President was throttled in the British Press for his DVD boo boo. He also has a staff of 500 people with him in the U.K. 500.....500 people to help. Surely one of these buffoons could gently remind the President, "Um, Sir... DVD's.....NO! Bad President! The Queen, sir! The Queen. Thoughtful. Let's recover, shall we?" That...however....wasn't the case.

The Queen of England gave our President a silver framed photograph of herself and her husband, a standard dignitary gift from the Queen.

Drum roll please..... President Obama gave the Queen.....an iPod. Yes..... an iPod. With footage on it from her last visit to the U.S.......yup.....he did it again......

Did I mention that the Queen already had an iPod? Yes, on recommendation from Prince Harry. Purchased back in 2005. Of course I am sure this was a closely guarded national secret and caught President Obama off guard.

Man...I don't care how great this guy may be.....he really needs to fire EVERYONE in his staff. Start from scratch. Might as well get the rest of the Clinton Staffers, you have most of them anyway.....Might want to leave off the "dry cleaner" guy......

Americans blind to the enemy within

Most recently, a very gruesome killing occurred near Boston, MA. This was an instance where some guy (a Haitian immigrant) for some reason went berserk and decided to stab his 17 year old sister to death, behead his 5 year old sister in front of police, and then attack his 9 year old sister, stabbing her several times before police finally shot him and killed him. The 9 year old is recovering in a local hospital and expected to make a full recovery.

One of the comments in the story that caught me off guard though, was, "How can anyone be so brutal and vicious of a killer!"

It is easy for us in the United States to throw that statement out there. We are shielded by a media that seems to think instances of this type of brutality outside of our boarders are not news worthy. They seem to think that reporting the latest iPod release from Apple is more prevalent than killings overseas that would be considered by our society hate crimes, brutal murders without conscious, and in some instances race or religion cleansing. Why? Why doesn't our media report that?

Why isn't Dan Rather in Iraq depicting the scores of women and girls that were once banned from schools now getting a proper education? Why isn't Peter Jennings in Afghanistan reporting the honor killings occurring where entire families are wiped off the map in the name of religion and honor? Why is it that we do not get the daily reminder of "Real Life" in a Muslim based country?

What we consider brutal is merely accepted procedure abroad in many countries. Yet, our public either is ignorant to the fact, or choose not to care because it doesn't affect them in their daily lives. For now....

The details are still streaming in on this very unfortunate event in Boston, but what about the "Honor Killing" that occurred in a Dallas/Fort Worth Suburb? Where did the publicity go? Only Fox News and ABC news covered it initially, and no one since... Yasir Abdel Said was a taxi driver and father of three children, two of which were teenage girls. The bulk of the reporting was concerning the girls who were shot in the taxi cab by their father, and the 911 recording of the girls pleading for help as the father escaped. Since then, very little has been said.

These girls were born and raised Muslim, but conflicting in the Western Culture. The father was growing increasingly angry at their lack of respect for the Muslim religion, and even informed the girls that if they did not shape up, he would take them back to Egypt and kill them, where it is legal to do so. There are also reports of the girls coming to school with welts on arms and back, and other beatings that occurred, including an event that had one of the girls lips embedded in her braces, but they would not seek medical attention in fear of the father being thrown in jail.

The son, Islam, even shares responsibility, in my opinion, as he begged Amina to come home after one particular argument, stating that "Father will not hurt you, I promise and give you my word on that." She did so.....and one hour later she was making that infamous call to the police as she laid there dying. Sarah and Amina are dead. The father was never captured, and now they believe he is back in Egypt living a normal life.

This happened in our back yard, people. This is not the first, nor will it be the last. We need to be reminded of this brutal culture that condones and even encourages such evil behavior in the name of religion. We need to remember how fortunate we are to live in a country that does not tolerate such extreme actions. Instead....we move on and wonder if the government is going to bail us out of our financial crisis, allowing us to continue to live our current lifestyles.

Here is a reminder. Verse 4:34 from the Quaran: "Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and [as to] those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great."

Don't forget Amina and Sarah. Don't forget the thousands others who met a similar demise overseas. Don't forget how wonderful our country is.

By the way.....where are the women's rights groups that are so quick to jump on the causes here in the US? Why are they not shooting blood out of their eyes at this and other examples? Why does this not qualify to be on their agenda?

Here come the gun possession laws....

First off, please let me start this by saying how sorry and full of sorrow we are for the innocent people in Illinois who were gunned down in cold blood a couple of days ago. Our hearts and prayers go out to you.

While this story is so tragic, it is also unnerving in how it is being portrayed in one particular aspect: Guns.

The Associated Press reported the gunman's bedroom collection as an "arsenal". Here is the quote:

"The arsenal in accused gunman Terry Sedlacek's room included two 12-gauge shotguns, a rifle and a box of 550 .22-caliber bullets, according to court documents filed Tuesday."

Arsenal? Really? This is an Arsenal? Good grief! 550 rounds of .22 caliber bullets? My brother and I would go through that shooting ground squirrels in a couple of hours...

If that is an arsenal, then we have a major problem here in the State of Idaho. There are thousands and thousands of residents heavily equipped and able to overthrow the government and institute Martial Law since they are equipped with an "arsenal". We had better have the National Guard surround the entire Northwest (except Seattle and Portland, of course) to contain the lawlessness that is daily life in a land full of single family arsenals..... In Illinois, it is an arsenal; in Idaho, we call it "the basics".

Associated Press.....we get it....you hate guns.....you hate people who want to keep guns.....you hate the 2nd amendment. No need to sensationalize stories to get your point across. We know you will never understand the reason to have the right to bear arms.

You are going to get your way.....we are moving in the direction that you want....eventually we no longer will have the ability to have guns. You will be happy.....society will be much better....no more gun crime will occur.....they will be banned and a happy life will ensue for all. Just like cocaine, methamphetamines, heroine, marijuana, etc. They are banned and no longer exist in our country. Thank goodness for your "progressive" thinking..... Well, I guess it is not totally original, either...... Hitler did the same thing.

Bern in Hell

The latest bit out about Bernie Madoff:

He and his wife claim they are entitled to keep a $7 million Manhattan apartment and an additional $62 million in assets.

He and his wife say they are entitled to keep their $7 million New York (Manhattan) apartment, and of course, $62 million in assets in her accounts. Really? You think that you deserve to keep that after what you have done to bilk thousands of people out of billions of dollars?

Court papers filed on Monday state that Madoff and his lawyer say the Manhattan penthouse and money held in accounts of Madoff's wife, Ruth, are not subject to seizure. I say you are wrong! I am sure you had absolutely no idea what was going on when hubby was screwing every penny out of friends, family, and strangers. I am sure your lavish lifestyle was purely due to your hard work and ol' Bernie was on his own....right?

The $62 million includes $45 million in municipal bonds on deposit in an account held by Ruth Madoff and $17 million in her name at Wachovia Bank. Sounds like the beginning of his (and her) pittance to repay those whose lives they have ruined.....

Right now the government is still investigating his actions. Don't worry dear, I am sure they will find a way to link it to you as well and nail your petite little tush to the wall. Besides, ol' Bernie tried like heck to funnel off as many funds as he could before the feds could touch it....how do we know that isn't part of it?

Face it, either you are really stupid and were completely suckered by this walking penis or you are in on the laundering of the money. Either way, it doesn't belong to you. It belongs to thousands others.....

Sad thing is....the lawyers will get it all in the end. Our only hope for justice is that Bernie will get a little in his end too.
