Africa Town?

in Lunacy, Racial Preferences

Have you heard about the ruckus in Detroit? The Detroit City Council wants to declare the dilapidated city “Africa Town” and siphon off more taxpayers’ money for yet more skin color preferences. In other words, they expect the public to pay for their pity party.

Devoid of fresh ideas and innovative approaches, as well as spiritual and moral solutions to Detroit’s many problems, politicians with too little real work to do come up with one hare-brained scheme after another. There’s nothing new under the sun.

House Votes to Repeal D.C. Gun Limits

by La Shawn on 09.30.04

in General

According to the Washington Post (reg. req):

The U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved a bill yesterday repealing most of the District’s gun laws, in a vote that handed an election-season victory to gun rights groups and was denounced by the city’s leaders as a historic violation of home rule.

By a vote of 250 to 171, the House passed the D.C. Personal Protection Act, which would end the District’s 1976 ban on handguns and semiautomatic weapons, roll back registration requirements for ammunition and decriminalize possession of unregistered weapons and possession of guns in homes or workplaces.

The bill also would prohibit the mayor and D.C. Council from enacting gun limits that exceed federal law or “discourage…the private ownership or use of firearms.”

Of course the bill won’t pass, especially in a corrupt, broken-down city where the criminals run the show. I’ll have more to say on this later. In the meantime, read about what I think of DC’s gun ban.

Sodom, Meet Gomorrah

in Conservatives, Lunacy

Warning: Graphic, stomach-churning stuff below.

I like Mike S. Adams because he doesn’t speak in euphemisms. He calls a thing what it is and regularly exposes liberal lunacy and debauchery at UNC-Greensboro and Chapel Hill. (See this post for background.)

Here’s the latest. According to Adams, UNC-G hired a convicted sexual pervert to work in the Office of Student Life. He writes: [click to continue…]

Pitying Al Gore

September 30, 2004

In a way, I feel sorry for Al Gore. I can’t imagine how emasculating losing a close election might be. His op-ed in yesterday’s New York Times doesn’t help matters. In his article (reg. req.), “How to Debate George Bush”, Gore offers no debating techniques. It’s just more of the same, boring, quagmire-in-Iraq stuff you [...]

Florida

September 29, 2004

Pray for the people of Florida affected by the hurricanes. Many people have lost their lives and homes; the fortunate have lost only electricity. Despite the destructive forces of nature, God is still sovereign. Sometimes that reality is difficult to deal with when you’re going through trials, but I know it works for me. He [...]

Survey: The Role Of Smaller Bloggers In Rathergate

September 29, 2004

Hello, loyal readers and fellow bloggers. I need your help. I’m conducting an informal survey about the role (if any) small- and medium-sized bloggers played in Rathergate. I haven’t defined “small” and “medium” because I want to hear from a wide range of people. If you believe you’ve contributed to the exposure of the forged [...]

Blog Envy

September 28, 2004

Michelle Malkin writes about a subject I’ve been thinking about for a while: blog envy. She cites this Los Angeles Times article by blogger Billmon. He thinks the big bloggers are selling out to mainstream media: For almost two years, I blogged the political scene, first as a guest writer on the popular Daily Kos [...]

“Last Plantation In America”

September 28, 2004

Reader Jeffrey W. sent me this link. Some local black Republicans said they understand why Clark County Commissioner Lynette Boggs McDonald last week called the Democratic party the “last plantation in America.” Democrats quickly held a press conference Friday to call for an apology from Boggs McDonald, saying it was “unconscionable” and “inexcusable” to use [...]

The Cowboy And The Patrician

September 28, 2004

I don’t know about you, but I’m glad our president is from a state like Texas. I’ve read numerous accounts of George Bush’s “swagger.” In my opinion, this is something only an insecure man would have a problem with. After all, why would a real man begrudge another man’s swagger? That’s what I was thinking [...]

Patronizing Piece of Pulp

September 26, 2004

Update (9/30): 101 comments: That’s a record! Addendum: New visitors and commenters please read this. It’s a shame that the media and regular citizens seem to be enemies. It doesn’t have to be that way, but when I read articles like this one (registration req.), “Cries of ‘media bias’ hide sloppy thinking”, I can’t help [...]

The Mess That Is CBS

September 25, 2004

Until the CBS hype abates, I’ll post at least one entry a day on the latest developments and blogger comments. Jay Rosen at PressThink asks, “Does CBS News Have a Political Future in This State?” The “AP Writers For Kerry” club stumps for their man. Power Line has the details. Protein Wisdom has more on [...]

Only White Liberals Are Offended By “Redskins”

September 24, 2004

Update (9/26): A commenter, whose post I deleted, called me a liar because the story states that some Indians are offended by “Redskins”, but my title reads, “Only White Liberals…” I thought it was obvious that I was exaggerating in the post title for effect. I excerpted the story and linked to it so everyone [...]
