AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
I just picked up my weekly copy of Jet magazine and saw where a Black speaker was booed and cheered for remarks he made condemning affirmative action. In that same magazine there is an article about Florida apologizing for slavery. This is the way I see things.
Affirmative action has outlived its usefulness because, like many other programs of empowerment, it has been hijacked by those who wanted it to fail. Because of affirmative action many Historically Black Colleges and Universities are struggling to stay afloat. It is not that the schools are not good. It is just that many blacks know that they can get into schools which may offer them greater opportunity and exposure. Jackson State University and the University of Mississippi are both state funded schools. Yet, Ole Miss has facilities that Jackson State does not. Also, I am tired of seeing schools where their entire sports teams are all (or nearly all) Black. Where did the white guys go? Some are sitting in classrooms making plans for great futures. Other athletes don’t even bother to try out because they feel they will not make the team. It seems that that we have come full circle and ended up right back where we started. Many Black youngsters see exposure on national TV as a stepping stone to playing in the

True Colors
Let’s face it. Minorities have a very high rate of crime in relation to their population. We also have a high number people on the welfare rolls. But my question is this: Why are minorities the only faces you see when you Conservatives talk about being tough on crime and complain about those on welfare? There are actually more whites in prison than minorities. Same with the welfare recipients.
Fact: Almost all serial killers are white.
Fact: Practically every school shooting has been perpetrated by whites.
Fact: Drug abuse by affluent whites are rising at alarming rates. The parents don’t have a clue or live in denial.
Fact: White women are more prone to embezzling funds than any other group.
Fact: Most child molesters are white. Did U see the Dateline series on Sexual Predators?
All I ask is that when you try to convince your followers of the threat we face from crime and those who are hoarding welfare, you show the true faces of the people we need to fear.

Children As Criminals
Recently there was a story in the news where children aged 8-10 (2 girls and 1 boy) were accused of plotting to harm their 3rd grade teacher because she yelled at one of them for standing on a chair. This happened in Waycross, Ga. The children brought duct tape, handcuffs and a kitchen knife to school to carry out the attack. Other students were to act as lookouts. School officails discovered the plot and called the police. Personally, I think this was the wrong approach. This is a situation which should have been handled by the school administration, the parents and possibly social services. This may have come as a shock to all the adults involved. Many parents are totally unaware of what is going on with there children, and their peers, until something like this happens. The students should have been reprimanded and suspended for a period of time. The parents should take care of disciplining their kids. I hope that they have a two parent household. If the situation warrants it, counselling is an option. We should not be turning all our problems with our kids over to the police. It is time for parents to act like parents and put an end to this atrocious behavior among our people.

Conspiracy Theory
Has anyone noticed that whenever we hear news of the “surge” working in Iraq and Iraqi forces are
more efficient, there is a sudden peak in violence by the Shiite militias and others? I have a theory that this (peak in violence) is orchestrated by the CIA in an effort to boost George’s claim that we need to keep troops in Iraq. Like I said “I love my country. But, history and my own experience has taught me that I cannot trust my government.” And yes, soldiers are expendable. Remember, they are just the instruments in carrying out our foreign policy. Nothing more. Maybe less.

Sorority Party Leads to Complaint at UND
In the March 22, 2008 edition of the Grand Forks Herald there is a story about a party held by Gamma Phi Beta sorority in November 2007 where partygoers dressed up in headdresses and loincloths and warpaint. The Native Americans got upset about it and filed a complaint saying the costumes were an insult to their culture and an example of racial insensitivity. Well,yeah! Can’t we lighten up a bit here?! The party was held off campus. Can’t we have a bit of fun anymore without being accused of racism and “insensitivity”? The Native Americans complain that others cannot learn about their culture when they use stereotypes. What is so different about their culture? I personally see no difference. There was a report of a party held at Clemson University in South Carolina in 2007 where white partygoers wore blackface, fake gold teeth and padded their behinds to make them look bigger. This caused the administration to make changes to their diversity programs. I say get over it. If you do things to make you look stupid, you shouldn’t be surprised to be laughed at. Grills, baggy sagging pants, tats and enough chains to hang yourself with don’t cut it with me. This political correctness is driving the country apart. And lets all hear it for sensitivity training, huh!? Life happens. Get a life, will ya!
SEMPER FI?
Shame on you, George.And your administration. For eight years of screwing up America, George gets a healthy presidential pension. For those who answered his call to duty, they have to run the gauntlet to get their just deserts. And many will have to live with their injuries for the rest of their lives. I am a veteran. I say to those who can do something about this, but will not, the only way a member of my family will go to war for you is over my dead body.

DC Anti-Gun Law Is Insane
The weapon of choice in defending yourself and your home is the handgun. Washington, DC’s anti-gun law denies law abiding citizens legal access to these firearms. Meanwhile crime continues to rise. I have no doubt that the Supreme Court will rule in favor of the law abiding citizens. However, just to make sure a call to your congressman wouldn’t hurt.
Woman, Arm Thyself
I don’t know about you, but I am sick to death of all the senseless killings of our young women by the sickos out there. I think that it is time women started arming themselves for their own safety. Every woman, especially young adult women, should be allowed to purchase a handgun. Then she should learn how to use it. Then she should get a concealed carry permit. Every woman should also enroll in a self defense course. Woman, stop being nice and shy. It could cost you your life. Follow your gut feeling. Stay alert, stay alive.
FEAR: THE BEST PARENT
We need to put fear back into our children. I mean the kind of fear that makes disobeying your parents the last thing your kids want to do. We do not have that dynamic working today. We are no longer parents. We are friends and enablers. Kids do not fear you because you fear what they can do to you. We are at the mercy of Social Services. I say let’s make a change in our hearts to remedy this today! When your kid talks back to you, don’t ground him. Smack the heck out of him. I get tired of seeing TV shows where

MORTGAGE CRISIS
Why isn’t the government going after the crooks in the mortgage and banking industries who are responsible for the near-collapse of our economy with the same zeal that they went after Bonds and Clemens for taking steroids? I am sure that several federal laws were broken. Remember that the bailout of Beaar Stearns was done with your tax dollars (read that Social Security). Then the big wigs overseeing this charade get to walk away with their money and mansions. Not fair.
