IF A BLACK MAN KILLS A WHITE MAN, THAT MAKES
THE WHITE MAN A RACIST
|
|
A little while back, a liberal group
reported that blacks got longer sentences than whites
for the same crimes. Turns out that they said it
wrong. Actually, six times as many blacks, as they
later admitted, commit serious crimes as whites,
and get sentenced for it. They made no apology.
The media, which had unanimously reported
that six times as many blacks got longer sentences
for the same crime, did not make any retractions.
We are told that the death sentence
is racist. The reason that it is racist is because
so many more black people kill white people than
vice-versa, so a lot more black people get executed.
Obviously, the black murderer is not the criminal
here. So who is?
Well, there are two people involved,
the black killer and the white victim. So the victim
must be the racist, sending the poor black man,
a victim of racism, to his death. That is the kind
of logic our society operates on today.

MEDIA'S
STORY ON THE MILLION MOM MARCH - - THEY DON'T
EVEN PRETEND TO ACCURACY ANY MORE
|
|
James Duclos -- who says he's a "New
England Yankee Copperhead" -- informs us of
two very important web sites. These web sites expose
the utter absurdity of the claims media are making
about the "Million Mom March."
The media reported, vaguely, that
"hundreds of thousands" of women were
there. That was the vague lie they actually stated.
Then they left it to other leftists to inflate the
figures without contradiction.
The web sites on the "million Mom March"
are:

http://www.etherzone.com/mmm052300.html
I had wondered why the media had been so vague about
the actual numbers of the "Million Mom March"
for gun control. The reason is as I suspected: it
was a dismal failure, so the media didn't report
that fact.

EVERYBODY
LOVES DANFORTH -- AGAIN
|
|
Time for another Whitaker's Law: "It
is impossible to underestimate the intelligence of a moderate
Republican."
Since P.T. Barnum pointed out that, "Nobody ever
lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the
American public," you would think intellectually
underpowered moderate Republicans would be the very people
to get elected by that same public. But it isn't so. Moderate
Republicans sell out their principles to be "pragmatic"
-- to win --and they lose doing it. They are both immoral
and unsuccessful.
Probably the prime example of a moderate Republican is
Gerald R. Ford, the man of whom Lyndon Johnson made the
original observation, "He's so dumb he can't walk
and chew gum at the same time."
Needless to say, good old Dumb Ford was beloved of liberals.
So when Nixon and Agnew resigned, everybody readily agreed
to make Ford the new president. He promptly made Nelson
Rockefeller his vice president. This was the ultimate
kick in the teeth to conservative Republicans.
As America's only unelected president, Gerald Ford got
the Republican nomination in 1976, but he barely got it
against the insurgent candidacy of Ronald Reagan. To show
conservatives what he thought of them, Ford did not select
a running mate to satisfy the half of the convention which
went for Reagan. Instead his vice presidential choice
was a fellow dumb midwestern moderate, Bob Dole.
As is normally the case with middle of the roaders out
here in the real world, Ford lost. As a famously dumb
man, he has never ceased to push his brilliant "middle
of the road" strategy at every opportunity for the
entire quarter-century since his defeat. He never slowed
down during the Reagan triumphs of 1980 and 1984. The
big Gingrich win in 1994 didn't phase him.
Likewise, the fact that Bush and Dole both lost as moderates
in 1992 and 1996 did not cause Ford to slow his campaign
for "pragmatic" moderation one iota. Such placidity
in the face of all reality is the reward of the truly,
deeply, and sincerely stupid.
Liberals always say moderate Republicans are winners.
Meanwhile, back here in the real world, almost every congressman
and senator who is actually elected to office has a very
conservative or a solidly liberal voting record. In national
elections, Republicans only won when they went forgot
the "middle of the road" nonsense and went far
right. This happened with Reagan in 1980 and 1984, and
with the Contract With America in 1994.
But reality never bothers an official political expert.
They are selected by liberals, and it is not for accuracy.
Bill Schneider is Ted Turner's - aka Mr. Fonda's -- official
political expert on CNN. In 1992, Schneider kept insisting
that Republicans could win if they went "to the middle
of the road" with Daddy Bush's new (anti-Reagan)
image. They lost, of course. In 1996, he said that Republicans
could win if they went "to the middle of the road"
with Bob Dole. They got the same bare forty percent of
the vote with that strategy in 1996 that they had gotten
with Bush's "new image" in 1992.
In December, 1996, Schneider declared David Beasley's
switch against the Confederate flag to be really Shrewd
Politics. He gave Beasley his "Political Play of
the Week." Beasley has since said that that Shrewd
Move cost him the governorship.
So Schneider is delighted with the rumor that Bush will
make John Danforth his vice presidential running mate.
I discussed former senator Danforth on September 18, 1999
in "Everybody Loves Danforth." That was when it looked
as if Attorney General Reno would tap Danforth to look
into the Waco mess for the official record. The fact that
Reno trusted him to produce her kind of report gives you
a clear idea of what kind of Republican Danforth is.
There are more reasons for the delight about Danforth
on the part of Schneider and his owner, Mr. Fonda. He
supported the Panama Canal giveaway. He engineered a compromise
to pass the "Civil Rights" Act of 1991.
But in one aspect, Schneider's delighted discussion of
Danforth was dead accurate. He said that the nomination
of Danforth as Bush's vice presidential candidate would
"complete the Bushification of the Republican Party."
