Ok...so this is old .. But

I was reading The Drudge Report today and ran across a link to a video on a student protest somewhere over something or other (Ok, my brain is fried from work today, sue me)

That led me to start researching videos on youtube and found an interesting one that I want you to look at, then I look at my comments:



Ok, this CAREFULLY edited video shows students doing their "civic duty" in protesting the war by walking out on classes and having a good old fashioned loving sit in. And in this video, they are up in front of the school board WHINING because they will get suspended or expelled.

I want to focus on one particular speaker who got my attention. Her speech begins at time mark 4:32 and continues through to the end. Lets take a look at some of what she had to say, shall we?

"On November 1st he and his classmates had the courage and valor to stand up for something they believe in"

Good on them!

"They see their families suffering from a recession that is affecting everyone"

Um Excuse me? I am not suffering from a recession. How many of you are?

"They took a peaceful demonstration by singing Kumbiyah (SP?) Give peace a chance, and we shall overcome"

Kudos to them, but hasnt anyone told them that its not original? Where did they learn all this? Wait for it...its coming.

"The actions of the board is criminalising youth. You are misleading when you say they were given opportunities and not taking those opportunities to leave. We have several witnesses and affidavits that assert that fact. We have adults and certain people at your school who say that they did. They moved their demonstration from outside when they were assured by your administration that they would not have any consequences if they did so. And they complied."

Ah, good for them, they complied. But lets just gloss over the fact that they left school when they knew they were not supposed to (This part goes without saying, you know?)....Lets continue, shall we?

"Preferential treatment, is not the American way"

No ... it isnt the moral way, but guess what toots...it happens, and there is nothing you can do about. However, I refer you to our Declaration of Independence, you know that little document that you so convieniently forget about which is a guarantee from our government? It says that ALL MEN ARE CREATED Equal.....What exactly is she saying here? WAIT FOR IT, ITS COMING!!

"These kids model in the great peaceful manner of such people as Martin Luther King, Cesar Chaves and (unintelligible due to applause)"

Thats great...just great! But I am sorry, when did these people ever model that high school students should walk off campus to protest something? She implies earlier in the video that the children have rights and they dont feel like they do. Yes, they have rights....They can protest all their little hearts desire...OFF OF SCHOOL CAMPUS AND AFTER SCHOOL HOURS. During school hours, they are expected to be in class, like the law says they must be. But why is she bringing up these great leaders of reform? WAIT FOR IT....

"I say this because I am an educator myself. And I work in politics and community activism"

UH OH .. there it is. She is just another left wing educator who is behind students who flaunt rules, good common sense and moral decency in defying the law and walking out of class and off campus into a demonstration. KNOWING FULL WELL THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES FOR THOSE ACTIONS!

Sorry, if you protest ... and you know its against the law ... before you do it ... then dont cry when there are consequences for your actions. Martin Luther King and Cesar Chaves KNOWINGLY faced arrest and harassment for their actions, and they didnt cry when it happened to them. I have no sympathy for them except that they have listless parents who are teaching them to break the law.

The only injustice in this video is that the parents of the students werent arrested.

H/T To Stop the ACLU


"Firefighters at the East Baltimore station where a noose was found demanded Monday that the NAACP apologize for labeling them racist. Discovery of the noose had drawn sharp criticism from Marvin "Doc" Cheatham, the Baltimore NAACP president, before a black firefighter from the station admitted that he had placed the noose there.

"The firefighters that work on his shift want Doc Cheatham to be man enough to stand up and apologize for his outrageous statements," said Bob Sledgeski, a city firefighter union official. "They're furious they were accused of being racists when it was not true."

The union, Sledgeski said, is considering filing a defamation lawsuit against the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Vulcan Blazers, a black firefighters group that said the noose symbolized racism in the department.

Henry Burris, president of the Vulcan Blazers, condemned the incident but said no apology was necessary. "I do not condone it," he said. "However, I do not apologize for the information I got concerning the noose, and, as I said when I found out about the noose, it was just a symptom of racism in the fire department."

____________________________

Stretch....stretch...stretch.....ah, there it is, they found a way to come full circle and still blame whitey for all their troubles and ills.

Going to the ARTICLE itself, one finds comments which sums this up quite readily:

The Naccp better have a apolgy how dare they drag Baltimore's Fire Department in the gutter.They over reacted on a issue that they had no evidence a white fireman did.Also I don't think they have any job being in Baltimore's afair's.If this would have turned out to have been done by a white man.Then the only one that has to deal with it would between the white fire fighter and the black fire fighter's.The white fire fighter would have had to give the black's a apolgy.But this was a set up to make all white's in the department look bad and racist.The Naccp need's to go some where else they should have no influence in how the punishment should be.This is a Baltimore thing and can be dealt with in the community.The Naccp can go try and baby sit some one else they have no right in any city afair's.As for the nosse well I was sure glad to see it was not a white man.They need to fire that black fire fighter that did it starting racial tention for no reason.

And this one

They're not going to apologize. If they really cared about doing the right thing, they would. But they don't, they're in this to force their agenda on everyone, that's all. Taking responsibility and admitting mistakes goes against everything the NAACP stands for. I'm sure they're sitting around thinking about ways to turn this around to make themselves the victims in this.

Of course, I have my own comment at Stop the ACLU:

Wait, let me get this straight.

A black firefighter places a noose in a station, the NAACP accuses the white firefighters of racism publicly, its found out that the noose was placed by said firefighter, and now the NAACP is refusing to apologise to the white firefighters for calling them racists, then proceeds to defend themselves by saying the noose, placed by a black firefighter, is symptomatic of racism in the fire department?

Um, yeah, there is racism, but its not coming from the white firefighters.

Nuff said

Yep, Nuff said indeed

More fun from the Westboro Baptist Church

I want to emphasize that the Westboro Baptist church is NOT reflective of the truth and morals of mainstream Christianity. This groups beliefs and morals are reflective of their cult leader, Fred Phelps. Watch this video, its heartbreaking to see the brainwashing of the next generation which is perpetuated by the Phelps family.



Sad isnt it?

New Jersey 2nd-grader suspended from school for drawing stick figure firing gun

DENNIS TOWNSHIP, N.J. - A second-grader’s drawing of a stick figure shooting a gun earned him a one-day school suspension.

Kyle Walker, 7, was suspended last week for violating Dennis Township Primary School’s zero-tolerance policy on guns, the boy’s mother, Shirley McDevitt, told The Press of Atlantic City.

Kyle gave the picture to another child on the school bus, and that child’s parents complained about it to school officials, McDevitt said. Her son told her the drawing was of a water gun, she said.

A photocopy of the picture provided by McDevitt showed two stick figures with one pointing a crude-looking gun at the other, the newspaper said. What appeared to be the word "me" was written above the shooter, with another name scribbled above the other figure.

School officials declined to comment Friday. A message left at the superintendent’s office Saturday was not returned.

Kyle drew other pictures, including a skateboarder, King Tut, a ghost, a tree and a Cyclops, the newspaper reported.

Lets take a look at some of the reader comments about this article:

Ed
I find it hard to believe that he was only suspended for 1 day! Drawing a stick figure with a gun is as menacing as it gets. It starts out as a stick figure gun before it evolves into violating the civil rights of undocumented immigrants, women, minorities, and other repressed groups. The solution here is intense sensitivity training and community service in which this white male can be shown the proper way to behave in today's society. The authorities should take action against the mother; possibly removing the child permanently from his unfortunate home situation.

And this one

When I was a kid I drew ninjas with swords and so far I haven't cut anyone's head off. I guess I am one of the few exceptions. I AM SICK OF THESE LIBERAL FREAKS AND THEIR POLITICAL CORRECTIONISM!!!!!! LET'S TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK FROM THESE SPINELESS COWARDS.

I have a 7 year old...he is fascinated by guns, draws them all the time. Normal items become guns to him when he is playing, its the nature of the BOY. What these whining liberal asshats are trying to do is make a panzy out of male society. I say screw them. My boy is going to grow up to be a man, and when he becomes that man, he is going to know how to shoot, fart, burp and grunt like a man should.

Do I need to add more? Screw you Liberal Moonbat Red Diaper Doper Baby ASSHATS.
