Book Burning?

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Wednesday, May 28, 2008 2:43:31 PM
It's pretty bad when a person can get in trouble in America for reading a book. "Last November, Keith Sampson, a college student, was found guilty of “racial harassment.” He’d been caught reading a book while on break from a part-time job with the school. Uh-oh. The book is titled Notre Dame vs. the Klan: How the Fighting Irish Defeated the Ku Klux Klan. It recounts a conflict between Irish Catholics and the Klan back in the 1920s. The book is clearly anti-Klan." But so what? Even if it were pro-Klan, what law was broken by his reading it on his own time? The "Affirmative Action Officer" said his reading of it is "racial harassment" without even talking to him or reading the book (Methinks this "affirmative Action Officer" has way too much time on his hands and is just LOOKING for "harassment." How can this be? Maybe if he paraded the book in front of a Klansman. But how does reading ANY book become "harassment" of ANYBODY? We're getting way stupid in our "political correctness" in this country. Pretty soon, they'll try and call this blog "political harassment." And they'd be right. But so far, there is no law against "political harassment," and they'd have to get rid of the First Amendment before such a law could even be made. Why is there even such a THING as an "Affirmative Action Officer?" I'd just "flip him the finger" and turn the page. Fortunately, the university (IUPUI, Indianapolis) finally came to its senses and reversed this "ruling." I think they ought to fire this "Affirmative Action Officer" and abolish his job.

Interrupting McCain's Speech

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Wednesday, May 28, 2008 2:39:30 PM
On three occasions, idiots interrupted the speech being given in Colorado by presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, shouting stupidities right and left. Fortunately, on all three occasions, the secutiry was quick, removing them before they could be but a minor inconvenience, "laughed off" by the candidate. Why is it most of the "demonstrations" by stupid people like this happen at Republican speeches? Maybe it's because Republicans are too busy at their jobs and have no time to do things like this, while liberals, most of whom are unemployed or the children of the rich, do. What I'm wondering is how Hillary squirmed her picture into a story about McCain. I'm not a McCain (or an Obama or Hillary) supporter, but this seems "fishy" to me. (New York Times)

Democrats Still Just Don't Get It!

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Wednesday, May 28, 2008 2:36:43 PM
They're still mired in the inexplicable fantasy that Iraq has nothing to do with Islamic terrorism. Forget that Saddam was financing, housing, and training Islamic terrorists. That he even had an airplane body to use in training terrorists to take over planes in flight (and this was BEFORE 9/11!). Forget that he was paying the families of terrorist suicide bombers in Israel or wherever they blew themselves up $25,000 to do so. Liberals in this country and elsewhere still think Iraq is the ONLY country where Islamic terrorists didn't exist. Frankly, the biggest terrorist (at the time) in existence (after bin Laden, that is) was Saddam Hussein and the country that he ran was the biggest, most friendly place for terrorists to go and "feel safe" during his reign. On the other hand, his own citizens could not "feel safe" from his depredations, including "rape rooms" and false imprisonment and murder (which was called "executions"). Saddam was one more murderous dictator who NEEDED to be "taken down," for your safety and mine. It is noteworthy that Islamic terrorists chose Iraq as THE place to fight with the world, since our own liberals won't admit Iraq is, and has always been, a big part of the Islamic terrorism conspiracy. Iran is also, and should be the next country to be "liberated."  They claim that fighting us is the only reason terrorists can recruit, but they have been recruiting ignorant Muslims (those their rulers KEPT ignorant) for hundreds of years. They only began to "get traction" in their efforts when they started getting "oil money" from Saudi Arabia and other oil-rich Middle East countries who hated us, anyway. (Heritage Foundation)

Oil Prices Coming Down

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Tuesday, May 27, 2008 3:01:04 PM
Yes, the reduction in gasoline usage caused by drivers changing their ways (gasoline usage has gone down more than ever in the past) because of this artificially manufactured "oil crisis" is starting to cause oil prices to start in a downward direction, and some "experts" are now saying gasoline prices may not get to the predicted $5 a gallon this year. But I wouldn’t bet on prices ever getting back to the level where they were before this skyrocket began. That's not how they operate. I've been watching gasoline prices go up and down for a lot of years, and they NEVER get back to the prices that prevailed before they began to suddenly rise. They always rise to an unnecessarily high level, and people, while whining about it, pay the price for a while. Then when prices come down somewhat, they heave a sigh of relief and pay the new price, which is lower than it was, but not nearly as low as it was before (this is the NINTH such occurrence since March) each time the overall price remaining higher than it was). If we could see a chart of gasoline prices over the last forty years it would look like a saw blade, going VERY high, then going back to a level ABOVE the old price. This is how the "powers that be" set prices, and raise them, while :"conditioning" you to pay a higher price each time. In this manner, they SLOWLY raise the price while getting you used to paying more. (Energy Plug)

Obama Just Soesn't Know!

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Tuesday, May 27, 2008 2:52:24 PM
Obama was heard to say, in a Memorial Day speech, "We are gathered here today to honor those who have fallen in defense of their country, many of whom I see here today." Really? What did they do? Dig them up and prop them up so he could see them? Is it possible Obama doesn't know that "fallen" means DEAD? If so, how could they "be here today?" I know Obama is a "product" of public school education, but I didn't think even THAT would make him that ignorant. Maybe I was wrong. (Just common sense)

Liberals "Dancing in the Streets!"

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Tuesday, May 27, 2008 1:47:53 PM
"NEW YORK - Soaring gas prices and weakening job prospects left shoppers gloomier about the economy in May, sending a key barometer of consumer sentiment to its lowest level in almost 16 years." And naturally, the 'news item' about it uses a picture of one of their hated "big box stores," Target. This news couldn't be better for liberals because every percentile this goes down is millions of votes to keep liberals in power. It works because most people don't pay attention to politics until just before an election, so don't know that the conditions that CAUSED this situation came from THEIR policies. Yet they keep trumpeting "change" long enough, people believe they can DO something about these situations THEY caused. I'm getting really tired of repeating what I said above, but maybe that's what it will take to "wake up" Americans that their biggest enemy (besides Islamic terrorists) is liberalism, which, if they have their way, will have us under a collectivist (socialist) government soon.
