More Poisoned Pen Right Wing Rhetoric

They have two days in a row of Assholes on KTLK radio.  Today they are bashing Blacks saying Black's problem isn't racism but "Immorality" and "Black preachers aren't really called by God".  Yesterday this Mexican seemed to continually mock all aspects about his own race in what I regard as a tacky and tasteless way.  He is against children retaining knowledge of their mother tongue.  As you may know Richi Vallenz didn't even know Spanish and a record executive noted this fact.  Debby Lies doesn't know Spanish despite her mother speaking with a pronounced accent.  This guy went so far as to say it's "reverse discrimination" to ask any prospective employee to know Spanish even is the job calls for it, to better serve the clientel.  He says the same thing about having to know Chinese or Korean in those jobs.  This guy took general swipes at the Obama administration.  I wonder if he agrees with Geraldo's assertion that Travon Martin is responsible for his own death because he had the nerve to wear a hoodie on the street.  The sooner they get Thom Hartman back and restore a little morning sanity together, we'll all be able to rest easier.  I just chose this photo because it's a relaxing scene in these troubled times.

You'd think some stories and news events would be obvious.  This whole Trevon Martin thing I thought would be over and dead as an issue now.  You'd think since FOX never talked about the story for weeks maybe the conservatives would just "sit this one out" and an issue on which they can't win and just let it go.  But once again the news cycle has taken on a mutant quality of its own and the story is bigger than ever.  I find statements from people on the right continually troubling.  Some people like Michael Benner might ask me "Just what axe do you personally have to grind in all of this.  What buttons do you have that people like to press?"  I'm just another blogger out to report the Truth as I and hopefully every other level headed person sees it.  So I was troubled when last night Judy said of Trevon Martin, "Well, he started it.  I don't see what the big deal Is" (about his shooting)  Judy has as you know said this whole high speed rail thing was a giant government conspiracy to get us all into "urban corrodors" and went on to say that "rail transport was the least efficient transportation of all because rails are fixed.  Individual cars are the best".  Well the people who first built the first trans contenental railroad would be surprised by the news that rail transport was inefficient.  Lots of Chinese workers worked on the western part of that run often under near slave labor conditions.  And they didn't do all that back breaking work to people like Judy could criticize them.  And I've got news for Judy.  The country is a hell of a lot more densely populated now than it was in 1969.  Now they want California to be the first leg of the nation's first 200 mph high speed rail, but John Boehner and the tea party obstructionists won't vote the transportation bill out.  Judy goes on of course to express horror at the idea of calling a section of Anaheim "little Iran" or whatever they were thinking of naming it.  We don't need the people responsible for 9 - 11 honored in any way.  Her anti Islamic bias is more than apparent, and is shared by too many Americans.  Of course President is an A student head of the Harvord Law Review and a squeaky clean morality, and he is called the more vile names by the tea party right.  The bar for Blacks is easily twice as high as it is for Whites.  People can't get over the fact that Blacks are even HERE in this country, I don't think, but I suspect if the slaves had to be free, maybe they should be sent back to Africa.  You know sometimes I wonder about Novels that were never written.  For instance if someone in Hell suggested Cain write an autobiography, mightn't it be called "In My Brother's Shadow".  Of course there is a novel called "I, Judas" that I have read that Stewart doesn't like.  Because "That Egyptian" was betrayed by a Temple Jew, and some say that Judas was the one somehow being tricked into being crucified instead of "That Egyptian".  Then we have Zimmerman's best selling book called "The Nigger who ruined my life".  Pastor Don had given up on me before I was ready to give up on him, and suggested I write a book expressing all my hostilities tword Christianity.  Of course most writings of people on the right are basically nothing but fiction anyhow.  This one link Judy sent me about all this Oil discovered in Alaska and this baptist preacher became chaplin of BP oil and then was invited to sit in on corporate meetings and then given "executive priveleges".  Now he says someone from BP oil says there is so much oil in Alaska that were it allowed on the market, gasoline prices would drop to below $1.50 per gallon, and that we would have oil for two hundred years.  When Pete Richards heard the exact video I was referring to he adopted kind of a "dismissive tone to his voice" and said that Video was "really old" and 'I've seen it" with the unspoken rides of "And I don't believe a word of it".

So now let's get to the specifics on the latest "accusations" against Trevon Martin.  They say remnents of marijuana were discovered in his clothes or something.  Now they are saying that as a student he spray canned grafitti on property.  Of course nobody is mentioning that his own parents didn't know he had even died for three days till someone saw his toe tag in the morgue.  His father just "wanted to know where he was" because he didn't come home.  George Zimmerman is the guy guilty of Bullshit.  He said his father was a Virginia judge when he applied for becoming a Policeman.  But he was rejected.  He took "fourteen hours of a Law Enforcement Class", that's all.  Well that means I've actually had more Law Enforcement training at Cypress than he's had, if we're going to play that game.  Some prosecutor wanted to file Manslaughter charges but he was prevented from higher ups from doing so, for political reasons.  Geraldo of course says that Trevon deserved to be shot "because he was wearing a hoodie".  Nobody seems to remember that Travon actually LIVED in that that neighborhood and had just stepped out to buy a snack during NBA all star half time and was on his way home.  Oh now- - he's a suspicious prowler.  Of course Zimmerman's attorney was going to appear on NBC but never showed so they had an empty chair.  And a reporter rattled this whole coinvicting list of twenty questions he planned to ask that Attorney had he had the decency to show up for his appointment.  Clearly this story stinks to high heaven and Zimmerman and his attorneys are both pathological liars in the Oliver North tradition, if not worse.  They don't have a legal leg to stand on, "Stand your Ground" law or not.  But they won't admit it but double down on all the poisoned rhetoric.

I wanted to talk a little about Pete Richards.  Pete Richards is a little like Mark Campbell and just maybe you can throw in myself and Roger Waters into the mix of "People who don't necessarily mind the idea of Religion just as long as they are the sole arbitor of it and make up all the rules.  Mark Campbell didn't like my book first of all because of all the thinly veiled Reagan for President plugs and side swipes against Jimmy Carter.  Mark also resents the idea of anybody running someone elses' life with legalism "I don't care is it's a psychic or an astrologer they go to - - or somebody in a Church - - it's all the same to me.   Both try and interperate things like the Bible with all their little guimics that is about as scientific as reading tea leaves".   Pete Richards has people he doesn't like.  I don't think he and Ron Rhodes had that much to say to each other.  Pete even in the early days criticised "Decipleship Movements".  Pete says he never trusted Lonnie Frizbee of Calvary Chapel.  (who turned out to be gay)  He left Pastor Mark because "He was beginning to rely too heavily on his own feelings".  Mark Campbell of course in summer of 1981 took to calling me "Hoser" and it must have been ten years before I ever knew what that word even meant.  It means a sheister or a con artist.  Pete of course has done an awful lot of church hopping and I'm not even sure where he's going now.  I think he might have found a church.  He studied Theology to be a Minister, but has never to the best of my knowledge even tried to get a job as a Pastor and now is a government grunt worker.  (His last job review was glowing, however)  Of course a lot of people have their own poisoned pen terms for other Christians they don't take a fancy too.  The term of "Deliverence Ministry" is spoken of- - as being a bad thing.  There is that whole "Decipleship" thing Ron Rhodes has advocated from his legalist Baptist background.  And then we have the "Seeker Friendly Churches", which are dangerous according to the Rev. John Mac Arthur.   Some people are down on Mormonism even though they are sure as heck "More Christian" than 95% of the Christians out there.  I remember as a teenager grown men going nuts over the idea that one guy who used to be a Methodist is now a Mormon.  (It was NOT a Methodist church saying this)

The last paragraph didn't get saved and the computer froze up and when I left the page the last paragraph was gone.  Mitt Romney now has his mansion with a sea side view in La Jolla that he's going to tear down and build either an 8,100 square foot mansion or an eleven thousand square foot mansion.  That would make it almost ten times the size of the Palm Street house.  It will have a multi level garage with a car elevator.  This is ironic because Romney voted down disabled accomidations for elevators used by PEOPLE.  It seems that the people who vote for him get off on this whole "Rich and inaccessable" air about him.  I must stress that Romney's view of life is NOT representative of the Mormon people at large.  Far from it.  Now Rick Santorum is trying to macho up his "goody two shoes" image here in California because the old image doesn't "sell well" out here.  Of course California successfully resisted the tea party juggernaut that rolled over the rest of the nation in November of 2010.  In terms of this whole Supreme Court case, I missed yesterday's hearing because I was "otherwise engaged" yesterday, if you-know-who knows what I mean.  I'm hoping to get up to speed today, unless something else comes up.  Judy says that if I think the liberals will pervail in this Court hearing it's because "You've been listening to the liberal media" because supposedly Obama is on the ropes and his people are faced up against tough questions they are unable to answer satisfactorally.   I'll look into that right now.  I'm looking for a photograph and see what I come up with now.  This computer has a growing  trend to freeze when doing that so maybe I'll post just this first to play it safe, learning from my experiance.
