Project Hatred: Panthers vs. Chickens

If the subject was not so serious and distorted, I would be amused. Instead, it infuriates me. The world is upside down.

I get so angry over the way liberals project their own hatred onto unsuspecting citizens who are just minding their business and their consciences. I won't try to go back and recite all of the possible examples to make my point, although the examples are innumerable. Rather, let's just look at two specific examples, much of it recent in development.

You will recall the infamous events involving the New Black Panthers in Philadelphia during 2008 election. The thugs who threatened voters were charged with voter intimidation in the time between the November election and the end of the Bush administration in January of 2009.

Although the prosecution began under Bush, within less than four months of the Obama administration taking over, the case against the New Black Panthers was dropped when Eric Holder took over the Department of Justice. Eventually it came to light, from a former prosecutor at the DOJ, that the policy of the DOJ was that they were not going to prosecute alleged violations of civil rights when rights violated belonged to Whites. To date nothing has happened of note in the attempts to get this reversed and the charges reinstated.

Fast forward to earlier this year and the Trayvon Martin case. The New Black Panthers called for vigilante justice and placed a bounty on the head of George Zimmerman, the one who shot Trayvon in self-defense, before Zimmerman was even charged with a crime. The case has been playing out in the media, and there is little chance for justice in Zimmerman's case since the jury pool has been so widely tainted by celebrities, media, and politicians convicting Zimmerman in the court of public opinion, sans the justice system.

Now, we heard this past week about the rantings of Michelle Williams during a New Black Panthers' radio broadcast. She uses foul language, perpetrates lies, spews vitriolic epithets, and flings disparaging names at white people (calling them "Crackers").

So during an Aug. 12 rant on Black Panther radio, she let loose not only on “crackers” but also on black conservatives. During a particularly colorful diatribe explaining why she hates whites and why all blacks should, too, she vowed that as long as whites keep characterizing blacks as “ni**ers,“ her ”feet [will be] on your motherfu**ing necks.”

Most disturning of all, she calls for violence at the upcoming Republican National Convention in Tampa in two weeks. You really have listen to the broadcast of Ms. Williams' diatribe in order to get the full impact of the hatred she preaches. The New Black Panthers are haters. There, I said it. And there is plenty of evidence to back it up. If the above isn't enough, read on.

In the New Black Panthers' radio opening for August 13, they played a shocking segment from Khalid Muhammad, a former spokesman for Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam. In it, Muhammed advocates extreme violence against white people in general, and specifically gays, lesbians, babies, and women:

We give them 24 hours in South Africa to get out of town by sundown. I say, if they don’t get out of town, we kill the men, we kill the women, we kill the children, we kill the babies, we kill the blind, we kill the cripple, we kill the crazy, we kill the fa**ots, we kill the lesbians, I say god dammit we kill them all.

If they are white kill ‘em all. Why kill the women? Why kill the babies? They are just innocent blue-eyed babies? Because god dammit they are going to grow up one day to rule your babies. Kill them now. Why kill the women in South Africa? I say kill the women because the women are the military manufacturing center. And every nine months they lay down on their backs and reinforcement rolls out from between their legs, so shut down the military manufacturing center by killing the white woman.”

Why kill the older crackers? The old crippled crackers in South Africa. How in the hell you think they got old? They got old oppressing and killing black people [inaudible].
Kill ‘em all. Kill the fa**ot. Kill the lesbian. And after you’ve killed them all […] I say then you go to the god damn grave, and dig ‘em up, and then kill ‘em a-god-damn gain because they didn’t die hard enough.

Chilling words. Where is the Department of Justice? Why are these people not being held accountable? Does freedom of speech protect them? If it was a white person calling for the execution of black men, women and children--at home or abroad--would it be tolerated, much less protected? Perhaps. But that does not lessen the fact that the New Black Panthers has haters in its midst.

Now, example number two of liberals projecting their hatred is related to the Chick-Fil-A case of late. It started with Rahm Emmanuel and others calling for the banning of Chick-Fil-A stores in their "kingdoms." Those calls for discrimination by government officials led to millions of Americans patronizing Chick-Fil-A on August 1 to show support for the fast food chain and its president and COO, Dan Cathy. The next day a self-filmed video surfaced on You Tube of a man in the drive-through of a Chick-Fil-A berating an innocent employee, accusing her and the entire company of being haters. The man was fired from his job that same day when his employer learned of his hate-filled actions.

Fast forward to this week when another hate-filled man entered the lobby of the Family Research Council in downtown Washington, D.C., and intentionally shot a security guard. Floyd Lee Corkins II was overpowered by the same guard he shot, with the help of some others in the lobby, and a mass shooting was averted. Corkins carried a Sig Sauer (no relation) and had 50 rounds of ammunition in a back pack, along with 15 sacks of Chick-Fil-A. It is reported that he shouted hate messages, called the FRC a hate organization, and expressed opposition to the FRC's support for traditional marriage. The shooter, a man named Corkins, intended to shoot as many people as he could and leave a bag of Chick-Fil-A food by the bodies. It is also suspected that he had targeted a second conservative organization a few blocks away. There are no details available as to what his intentions were.

In the wake of this disgraceful and unwarranted near-tragedy, the Family Research Council--which was the VICTIM of Corkins' hate crime, was called a "hate group" in the media because they support marriage as a sacred institution between one man and one woman. Corkins stated that he hated the political views of the FRC. Yet newspapers had to ask, "Was it a hate crime?" You think? In D.C., perpetrating a crime against someone for their political views IS a hate crime, so both federal prosecution and District prosecution should be forthcoming.

The White House dodged the question when asked by the media if Mr. Obama thought this was a hate crime. I guess Mr. Leo Johnson did not look like Mr. Obama's son. And apparently Mr. Obama did not know as much about this widely-covered shooting--that occurred 5 blocks from his house--as he did a few years ago when he expressed his opinion abut an incident that occurred 500 miles away. In that case, Obama said the Cambridge police "acted stupidly" when they arrested a black Harvard professor after a confrontation with police who suspected he was breaking into a house. The latter incident led to the infamous "beer summit." Maybe Mr. Obama will invite the shooter, Mr. Corkins, and the FRC security guard he shot, Mr. Johnson, to a "chicken summit" in the Rose Garden. That is, after the security guard gets out of the hospital and the shooter gets out of jail, say in 30 years.

Yes, I have called some liberals "haters." But truth is my defense!

March 30 and the Twilight Zone

This Friday, March 30, will mark two noteworthy occasions for me.

First, my older stepdaughter enters her final year of "childhood" as she turns 17 years old. This next year will be her final push to adulthood, and I pray daily that she lives it well and learns well from it. A year from Friday she will be an adult in the eyes of the law. She will always be a child of my heart, for when I came to know her I came to know a very special kind of love. God, bless her and hold her in the palm of Your hand.

Second, March 30, 2012, will be the second anniversary of a terrible tragedy. Several young people were gunned down on a D.C. street as they stood around talking and remembering a friend who had been buried hours earlier that day after he was gunned down a week prior. The trial of the defendants started last month. What makes this memorable for me is that one of the victims, Brishell Jones, was the daughter of my former co-worker, Nardyne Jefferies. When I first started my current job, Nardyne was one of our five-person staff. She had a knack for making us laugh, and she loved her daughter without measure. Brishell's funeral was one of the saddest I have ever attended, but it also showed me the outpouring of love that a community shows for its fallen young people.

Yes, there was community outrage over the tragic and senseless loss of innocent life. But I had the utmost respect for Nardyne and Bri's father for letting the facts come to light and not unnecessarily blaming everyone and everything in society. The trial will render justice -- I believe that wholeheartedly.

This week an equally sad tragedy has begun to gain attention in Florida and throughout the country, even though it occurred in February. Sadly, this one is not playing out with the same respect for the legal system and the search for truth. It is the sad case of Tayvon Martin and George Zimmerman that happened in February. What is undisputed is that Zimmerman shot Martin. What IS disputed is the detail with regard to  what led up to the shooting. What is not in dispute (to those who are paying attention with an open mind) is that various entities are jumping into the fray to try to spin things to their benefit point of view. For instance:

New Black Panthers offer a bounty on Zimmerman's head: dead or alive.

Local Floridians ransack a Walgreens in the name of Tayvon.

Obama gets his two cents in and says if he had a son he would like like Tayvon.

Obama's minions peddle hooded sweatshirts in support of OBAMA, since Martin was wearing a
hoodie when he was killed.

Geraldo blames the hoodie.

Other black stars wear hoodies in solidarity with Martin.

A Democrat Congressman gets booted from the House floor for wearing a hoodie.

Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill

Tayvon Martin's mom files to trademark her son's name. 

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton try to make themselves relevant. (Links too numerous to choose just one.)

Just as bad, the mainstream media keeps publishing pictures of Martin when he was a little boy instead of the 17-year-old  that he was. (Geez, my almost-17-year-old stepdaughter looks a LOT different now than she did at 13 or 14!) Choosing a photo of a much younger victim is reflective of the image of the victim that the media intends to portray --more sympathetic than a current photo of him as a young adult man might evoke.

Only after Zimmerman is trashed, judged, and convicted in the court of liberal public opinion does the media finally report the truth -- that George was beaten by Tayvon and quite possibly (likely?) shot him in self-defense. In cases where such a rush to judgment occurs, we should remember these 3 words: Duke lacrosse case.

Rev. C.L. Bryant had it right when he set CNN's Roland Martin straight in the issue. The media and other wanna-be-in-the spotlight types need to focus on the REAL problem in America, which is black-on-black killing. The statistics in that CNN video are shocking - 52% of all homicide victims in the U.S. are black, and 93% of those victims are killed by people of their OWN RACE. So, why was there no outrage of the Tayvon Martin magnitude when Brishell Jones and the other innocent victims died two years ago on the streets of D.C. at the hands of other people of color? The tragedy is that there are not enough brave men like C.L. Bryant who will step up and tell the truth, and there are too many haters like Roland Martin and Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton who blow smoke and shine mirrors to obfuscate the real problem.

C.L. Bryant

This Martin-Zimmerman case will not go quietly into that good night. Sadly, we will have to listen to irrelevant people weigh in with their irrelevant opinions for months and years to come. Zimmerman will have trouble getting a fair trial since clueless people decided that their interests were more important than justice. This case proves that we are a divided nation.

And so that brings me to this evening. After a simple soup and sandwich meal, our 13-year-old asked her dad and me to listen to her practice her part in a play that her class is reading aloud tomorrow. She is excited to have been selected to be the narrator. I listened as she read the narrator parts, skipping over all the other (irrelevant) parts. I gave her a few suggestions and was able to remain unemotional for the most part. But (there is always a "but") when she got to the finale, I made her read it again, and then once more. Then I took her book and typed the end of the play here. Imagine Rod Serling saying it. . . .

"The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices--to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy and a thoughtless frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own for the children . . . and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is  . . . that these things cannot be confined to . . . The Twilight Zone!"
Conclusion of "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street," a play by Rod Serling, original broadcast date March 4, 1960, Episode 22, Season 1.

(Un?)Fortunately, we are not living in the Twilight Zone. We are in a war zone. I just hope and pray that when November 2012 arrives, this country stops trying to live in the liberal fantasy-land and chooses AMERICA instead of the country that has come to look more and more like "The Twilight Zone."

Cue Rod Serling, music and lights fade...
