Quick Drive By~Edit

Stopping by for a quick run down on some of  the current events you won't see on TeeVee, read in the newspaper, or hear on the radio.~RedEye

Speaking of the media we have, do you think  newspapers would bury the story of a black sheriff wishing death on former President George W. Bush or Vice President Dick Cheney?  Heck no, they wouldn't.

Can we have a majority leader who is not skeered of the right wing Bully's?  It's time to give Harry Reid the Hook.

Paging the black political class!  The Vampires aren't coming...they are already here!

Hello this is Hank Sanders, Alabama state Senator, and I’m still mad as hell. I say hell no! I ain’t going back to the cotton fields of Jim Crow days.   Psst!  Anderson Cooper and Left in Alabama...can you hear State Senator Hank Sanders now?

Memo to the GOP:    You may as well keep that $10 million dollars you plan to spend on minority outreach in your pockets.  Just because we are minorities doesn't mean we are stoopid.  We know the gop will never change.   Once a Pit Bull always a Pit Bull.

This week marks the 10th anniversary of O.I.L. (Operation Iraqi Liberation) when Bush and Dick  sent our troops to war based on DEAD WRONG INTELLIGENCE to look for WMD that was NOT there, without body armor, or an exit plan.

The Dixie Chicks were right (pun intended)

Bigotry in the name of the Lord & Why Boycotts Matter

Fist Dap jobsanger

It never ceases to amaze me when the right wing, Evangelical, compassionate, conservative, Christians, use religion to justify bigotry.  Those who say marriage equality is not a civil rights issue need only look at the chart of above defining "traditional marriage" for a reality check.

I could have spent the rest of my life eating Chick-fil-A, but once the owner made his views regarding marriage equality public, that was it for the waffle fries, lemon pies, lemonade and chicken strips for  me and mine.  If the owner of Chick-fil-A wants to donate money to right- wing- super PACS, he will do it without my hard earned money.

Psst! countrycat, mooncat, daddycat, and Jim Dean, ask the Southern Christian Leadership Conference,  Do Boycotts Really Matter?

Ask the Dixie Chicks do boycotts really matter.

The black youth project explains why boycotting Chick-Fil-A still matters.  It's not about the profit margin, it's about the principle.

Fist Dap- What Would Jack Do. 

After wrenching President Obama's quotes out of context, Willard takes his misadventures on the road, proves himself to be an embarrassment ,but that OK,  he is going to restore Anglo Saxon relations with Britain,  and he's better than that guy.  Oh well, at least he's raising lots of money.

What a difference a Federal Judge makes.  U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson had the conscience, courage and conviction to release an opinion that shows the Siegleman defendants were wrongly convicted, (as if we didn't already know) as one of the defendants is released from from federal custody after six years, and another is probably headed to prison on August 3, 2012.

Wanted Alabama Democrats  with the courage and conviction to be the squeaky wheel, the future of the Alabama Democratic Party and Alabama's minorities are at stake. 

Governor Siegelman, you don't owe us an apology, we owe you one, for allowing this miscarriage of justice to take place.  Your only "crime" was being governor of ALL the people, not SOME of the people.

There is more than a whiff of hypocrisy.  All I am going to all the Righty's and some black church group, who have their knickers in knots because gay rights groups are blasting  Chick Filet because  the chain donated to an anti gay marriage group, is three words...The Dixie Chicks.

The "Fast and Furious" legal lynching of President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder

We knew it was coming because this is who they are, and what they do, to discredit their opposition for partisan and political gain in an election year.  I'm just surprised it took them so long.  After all, they've been plotting every since President Obama's half African Donkey was elected, on orders from the De Facto leader of the gop, to make sure he failed.  I wonder what part of if President Obama fails, the country fails don't they understand?  Isn't it anti American to plot to make sure the duly elected leader fails?  I remember when Bu$h and Dick were pushing us to war in Iraq anyone who dared question why were accused of being anti American or worse.  But I digress.

The republicans have reached the point of no return in regard to Eric Holder.  I say stop hiding behind Executive Privilege , push them off the cliff,  release the information they are demanding, and let the chips fall where they may.  

There are 5 things you need to know about the legal lynching of Eric Holder you won't hear in the mainstream media.
1.  Issa has no case.
2.  Reagan's justice department agreed with Eric Holder.
3.  Law Enforcement rejects Issa's Witch Hunt.
4.  Even Top republicans think Issa has gone too far.
5.  Issa is fixated on a conspiracy theory.


This is a Fast and Furious media enabled, weapon of mass distraction from the real issue.

This is a "Fast and Furious" legal lynching in an attempt to keep blacks and Hispanics from breaking for Obama again.


Keep Your Eyes on the Prize.

 Focus, Liberals, Focus.
