Ignorant and Irresponsible

.
A while back, I watched a television investigative report about stereotyping. That's what we call "Profiling" today.

The report showed a middle aged White lady cross to the opposite side of the street when her intended path would have taken her past a group of young Blacks. When challenged, she explained that she did so because of a past experience when her purse was snatched by a Black teen. The report claimed that she was bias because she labeled all Blacks as thieves, and shamed her.

Back then, I used to laugh at people who stereotyped all first generation Asians as poor drivers, but later as a traffic cop, I realized there was a bit of truth to it.

Some people stereotyped all American cars as junk because they heard that some of their friends that owned one experienced mechanical difficulties. So they too bought a Toyota.

For generations, people have stereotyped all Catholic priests as perverts. Now there seems to be truth to the rumor as there have been many prosecutions.

And in Los Angeles many people have stereotyped all Mexicans as people who have neither a driver's license or insurance.

Yesterday I noticed a store clerk leave his position at the cash register to watch a group of young White males huddled in the video game section.

And today, many of us have stereotyped all Muslims as terrorists. And there is evidence to support that as well.

Call it stereotyping or profiling, it is the same. Profiling just seems to emphasize it more as being evil. But, what is common in all of these incidents? I'll tell you. They are all based on factual experiences of those that place the labels.

So, is it wrong for a lady to avoid a group of Blacks because another Black stole her purse? Is it wrong for one to avoid Asian drivers because he has witnessed so many times their poor driving skills? Is it wrong to switch to a Honda because your Ford kept breaking down? Is it wrong to hold tightly to your child as you attend mass? Is it wrong to expect a hit and run to happen if a Mexican crashes into you? Is it wrong for a shop owner to watch the group of White teens closer than the granny with her grand daughter? Is it wrong to be suspicious that the Male, Muslim, aged 18-34, in front of you might be plotting an attack against America?

I don't think so. These are all learned experiences and one would be ignorant and irresponsible to ignore them.

Multiculturalism

.
For those that don't know, Germany is Europe's largest, and next to England, is the most influential. German Chancellor (President) Angela Merkel, about a month ago, announced publicly that Germany's "multikulti" concept where people of different backgrounds would live together happily has not worked in Germany.

How is it that such a bold and powerful statement made by a world leader been all but suppressed by the American media? But nothing can block Thought Dock portal and that allows me to share my wisdom with you.

Chancellor Merkel went on to say that beginning of the 1960s, Germany called foreigners to immigrate and assimilate into the country in order to form a diverse multi-cultural society. "We kidded ourselves. This hasn't been reality. The attempt to build a multicultural society and to live side by side and to enjoy each other ... has failed, utterly failed."

Merkel's comments came just days after a study by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation think tank found that more than 30 percent of people believed Germany was "overrun by foreigners" who had come to Germany chiefly for its social benefits. The audience gave her a standing ovation.

Sound familiar? Isn't that exactly what the majority of Americans are feeling about our immigration policies? But those that express those feelings are quickly labeled as racists, radicals, or extremists by the immigrants and liberals alike and are totally ignored by our government.

Close our borders now and evict those that are here illegally!

Have you noticed?

Well, the 'Season' is upon us once again. But it is different today from what it has been in recent years. How so?

For the past 20 years or so, most references to religious beliefs during the 'Season' have been removed from use in public areas. Gone were advertisements referencing Christmas, Hanuka, or anything else. And employers disciplined employees for exchanging greetings such as 'Merry Christmas' or 'God bless you' and replaced them with 'Seasons Greetings' or Happy Holidays.'

Gone were Christmas trees, Christmas gifts, Christmas lights, Christmas presents and Christmas parties; only to be renamed with titles less offensive to Atheists and Muslims as stores, government, and employers succumbed to their demands.

But have you noticed the changing of the tide? Christmas is making a huge comeback in stores. Advertising is making it's way back almost everywhere. Greeting cards in Target actually have pictures depicting the birth of Christ

Almost everywhere. But it should be everywhere! Wallets talk. That is why Sears, Target, Walmart and other major retailers have put back Christmas into their stores because of boycotts and such. But there is still work to be done.

Radio Shack, Barnes & Noble, Dick's Sporting Goods and Staples are still holding out because their corporate executives are infested with Atheist and Islamic beliefs alike. They don't believe in Christmas because they can not recognize Christ. So why should they profit in something they can't accept? Boycott them. Let them sell their crap to ones of their own like and see if they can survive!

Merry Christmas, May God bless you, celebrate in your own way; But don't mess with mine!

No exam necessary

.
As I recall, in the mid 1970’s California reduced the penalty for simple possession of marijuana from a felony to a misdemeanor, and then a few years later to an infraction which was nothing more than a citation. And then they approved a Medical Marijuana law, which was presented as a pain treatment for terminally ill persons. And soon after, the law was broadened to allow the use of the weed for most any other reason if prescribed by a doctor.

So, while visiting the Los Angeles area recently, I happened by a medical marijuana dispensary, and I noticed a doctor’s office right next door with a huge sign reading, "Marijuana Prescriptions Here. No exam necessary." And, then on the local news, I heard the Mayor announced that he favored the licensing of about 500 new business of this kind in the City of Angeles. What a farce!

Some of you know that in the past I have advocated legalizing all narcotics, so I really don’t give a crap about this marijuana stuff, which will soon be legalized for everyone anyway.

But, I use this only as an example of how when we give in a little, the liberals take more and more. The basic fundamental values of which America was founded upon are systematically being taken from us by the liberal minority of our country simply because the moral majority allows it.

I sure wish that more of you would think, so that I could have at least have something in common with you!

Author Unknown

.

Holy Crap! This is simply the best written article about America. It was stated that the artical originated from within the Czech Republic, so the author is likely not an American and is anonymous. I wish I could take credit for it, but it arrived through the Thought Dock portal from an avid follower.

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.

The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool.

It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

What part of being "Illegal" gives them rights?

.
Recently the California Supreme Court ruled that illegal aliens have the same rights to attend any California State college at the same tuition as any other resident of the State. Even an American from another state can't do that!

San Francisco politicians have not only made their city a "Safe Haven City" to all illegal aliens, but now have granted illegal aliens the right to vote in their local elections. And, several other states either have, or are trying to enact similar laws.

What gives California? How does anyone while still dripping wet, emerge running from the gutter into our country, have the right to attend our colleges?

And how is it that illegals have the right to vote, even in a local election. How is it that illegal aliens have the right to protest in our streets, wave their flag, burn ours, while they threaten us and demand to remain in this country?

Their right to attend college will only lessen the opportunity for a legal resident to receive a decent education. Californians are already footing the costs for the illegals children's primary education and their medical care. And their children born here are even entitled to state welfare. Now they will vote to elect their own mayor, judges, and police chief to even further their goals.

It was well predicted years ago that the cost of illegal immigration would bankrupt California, all to save a few bucks for gardeners, housekeepers and cheaper produce. California is broke and has gone to the wolves. They will be screaming to the rest of us to bail them out. I hope not!

It's too late for California to wake up. It is lost. And it could happen to the rest of us us if we sleep much longer.

Footprints

.
In Those Days, we were poor. I knew that because Mom told me. And I knew it because we didn't own our own home, wore mostly hand-me-downs, had fewer toys, and almost never ate out like most of my other friends did. Pop usually had a second job and Mom made as many of our clothes that she could, and we shared their toys with each other, well some of the time.

But we had class. Mom said we were lower-middle class, and that was a stretch. Not due to race, but financial class. Mom said the wealthy class all got college educations and therefor got jobs like doctors or lawyers. And the poor class were destined to work in the fields doing manual labor and such. She said that our family was just above that line and that with a little luck, we could be what she called "semi-skilled" and have jobs like cops, mechanics, factory workers, and clerks.

Mom loved us, but she didn't sugar coat things. She said what it was, while giving a glimmer of hope to us that through hard work we might get to go to college and get that white collar job. And what she said was exactly what came to be.

One of her children actually graduated from college, two went to trade schools, and the rest attended some college classes. But there we remained, in the middle class, just a click of destiny away from being poor.

I think it was better the way Mom prepared us. A bit of encouragement, but no false hopes. Never telling us we would be President someday, or an astronaut, a doctor, or a professional athlete, but just stars, each in our own way.

Yeah, I know anything is possible in America. Like Abe Lincoln, the Long Legged MacMuslim did it. Some achieve their ambitions, but most don't. And for parents to convince their children that they will get fame and riches, is a false promise that leads to their collapse when they realize dreams won't be fulfilled.

So, how did Mom know?
.

Did you hear us now?

.
Well. Mr. Long Legged MacMuslim, did you hear us? Do you realize that we removed from office, both Democrat and Republican, a whole bunch of polititians that supported your failed policies? Do you you realize now that you will be only a single-term President, and only if we don't impeach you before? Do you realize that in two more years even more of your like will be removed.

Do you realize that? Somehow, I don't think you do. I think you heard the voters clearly, but like you did with healthcare, I fear that you will again reject our will, and continue to do things your own way. Please don't do that. Listen to us. Step down while you still have a life.

Your own supporters have woke up and spoken. Even in the most socialist states, the ones that carried you to fame, even California have turned against you. In 2 years it will be all over. Nore more Pelosi or Holder, or the rest of the socialists and Muslims that you've placed in your cabinet.

A change you will then believe in.
