I’m Not The Only One

I recently came across this YouTube video which was shared by a friend on Facebook.

The film focuses on Joseph Kony, the leader of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), which has conducted countless raids on the people of Uganda.  The raids primarily consist of kidnapping boys and forcing them into their army and kidnapping girls to use as sex slaves as well as whatever items of value they find.  The Ugandan military forced the LRA out of Uganda in 2005.  Since then Kony and his army has found refuge in neighboring countries South Sudan, Congo and the Central African Republic, pillaging and engaging in child abduction in Uganda’s border villages.

The other day I came across the term “voodoo economics” while reading some nonsense written by Paul Krugman.

The term really gets under my skin for two reasons.  But before I get into that, a brief explanation as to to what voodoo economics refer and a history of the term. (more…)

When the Man is looking for a terrorist, not a drug dealer or robber.

In America, blacks and Latinos are often guilty until proven innocent when the police are looking for a drug suspect.  As politically incorrect as it may sound, it makes perfect sense for police to use racial profiling against blacks and Latinos when looking for suspects of drug-related crimes.  Even though statistics suggest that white Americans are the largest consumers of illicit substances it is almost always people of color involved in the production, distributions and sale of these illegal narcotics and are most often targeted in the War on Drugs.  I’ve always said that the only way to completely put an end to racial profiling against blacks and Latinos by law enforcement is to decriminalize drugs.

That said,  I don’t believe racial profiling makes any sense when protecting Americans from terrorism.  Those Americans who support racial profiling as a counter terrorist measure are probably the same idiots who think Africa is a country and Mexico is a continent.  Why doesn’t racial profiling work to sniff out would-be terrorists?  Because the terrorists in question are of the Muslim faith, and like Christianity, Islam is a religion, not a race.  Muslims come in all colors.  Since 9/11 we have encountered white American Islamic terrorists, a Hispanic Islamic terrorist, Chinese Muslims and an array of Islamic terrorists of African descent and/or origin.  In terms of numbers, Islam in the U.S. has been the fastest growing faith, but by blacks and Latinos, not by immigration from the Arabian peninsula.  The country with the largest Islamic population in the world is Indonesia, nowhere near near Arabia but in the south Pacific.  The majority of black people worldwide are Muslim, not Christian.

It seems the feminazis are now claiming to have found sexism when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was asked by a student at a town hall meeting in Congo what her husband Bill thought about a particular issue regarding Africa.

By now everybody knows that Secretary of State Clinton completely flipped out and lashed out at the student.  Later it was discovered that the meeting’s translator erroneously said Mr. Clinton when the student actually asked about President Obama.  But Secretary Clinton’s overreaction speaks volumes about her own acknowledgment as being grossly unqualified for her job, a sentiment poor Hillary must know all too well from serving in the U.S. Senate.

A few days ago I received an interesting piece of mail which reminded me why I should be proud to be an American.

This piece of mail was from Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere or CARE, a nonprofit that appears to only care about impoverished females in Third World countries.  Not being a woman, I’m not sure why an organization that only serves women would solicit donations from me; I guess they’re really desperate.  CARE’s letter informed me of their campaign in Africa against female genital cutting (FGC).  CARE President Dr. Helene Gayle wrote a very compelling and occasionally graphic four-page letter describing what FGC is, the gruesome manner in which the procedure is executed, why FGC exists at all and the myriad short and long-term health risks and psychological damage done to the young girls whose clitorises (or is it clitori?) are carved out of their bodies.  What CARE does is go to these villages and “educate” the tribal elders on the medical dangers of FGC and how it permanently damages the victim psycholgically, etc., etc.

As graphic and compelling as Dr. Gayle’s story was, even if I wasn’t broke I wouldn’t be compelled to send them any money.  Here are a few reasons why: (more…)
