I have a hard time with anyone who subscribes to god worship fantasies of any kind, but especially with those that advance ignorance and foster intolerance, as pentacostalism does.

This is Your Nation on White Privilege

September, 14 2008

By Tim Wise

For those who still can't grasp the concept of white privilege, or who
are constantly looking for some easy-to-understand examples of it,
perhaps this list will help.

* White privilege is when you can get pregnant at seventeen like
Bristol Palin and everyone is quick to insist that your life and that of
your family is a personal matter, and that no one has a right to judge
you or your parents, because "every family has challenges," even as
black and Latino families with similar "challenges" are regularly
typified as irresponsible, pathological and arbiters of social decay.

* White privilege is when you can call yourself a "fargin' redneck,"
like Bristol Palin's boyfriend does, and talk about how if anyone messes
with you, you'll "kick their fargin' ass," and talk about how you like
to "shoot shtein" for fun, and still be viewed as a responsible,
all-American boy (and a great son-in-law to be) rather than a thug.

* White privilege is when you can attend four different colleges in six
years like Sarah Palin did (one of which you basically failed out of,
then returned to after making up some coursework at a community
college), and no one questions your intelligence or commitment to
achievement, whereas a person of color who did this would be viewed as
unfit for college, and probably someone who only got in in the first
place because of affirmative action.

* White privilege is when you can claim that being mayor of a town
smaller than most medium-sized colleges, and then Governor of a state
with about the same number of people as the lower fifth of the island of
Manhattan, makes you ready to potentially be president, and people don't
all piss on themselves with laughter, while being a black U.S. Senator,
two-term state Senator, and constitutional law scholar, means you're
"untested."

* White privilege is being able to say that you support the words
"under God" in the pledge of allegiance because "if it was good enough
for the founding fathers, it's good enough for me," and not be
immediately disqualified from holding office--since, after all, the
pledge was written in the late 1800s and the "under God" part wasn't
added until the 1950s--while believing that reading accused criminals
and terrorists their rights (because, ya know, the Constitution, which
you used to teach at a prestigious law school requires it), is a
dangerous and silly idea only supported by mushy liberals.

* White privilege is being able to be a gun enthusiast and not make
people immediately scared of you. White privilege is being able to have
a husband who was a member of an extremist political party that wants
your state to secede from the Union, and whose motto was "Alaska first,"
and no one questions your patriotism or that of your family, while if
you're black and your spouse merely fails to come to a 9/11 memorial so
she can be home with her kids on the first day of school, people
immediately think she's being disrespectful.

* White privilege is being able to make fun of community organizers and
the work they do--like, among other things, fight for the right of women
to vote, or for civil rights, or the 8-hour workday, or an end to child
labor--and people think you're being pithy and tough, but if you merely
question the experience of a small town mayor and 18-month governor with
no foreign policy expertise beyond a class she took in college--you're
somehow being mean, or even sexist.

* White privilege is being able to convince white women who don't even
agree with you on any substantive issue to vote for you and your running
mate anyway, because all of a sudden your presence on the ticket has
inspired confidence in these same white women, and made them give your
party a "second look."

* White privilege is being able to fire people who didn't support your
political campaigns and not be accused of abusing your power or being a
typical politician who engages in favoritism, while being black and
merely knowing some folks from the old-line political machines in
Chicago means you must be corrupt.

* White privilege is being able to attend churches over the years
whose pastors say that people who voted for John Kerry or merely
criticize George W. Bush are going to hell, and that the U.S. is an
explicitly Christian nation and the job of Christians is to bring
Christian theological principles into government, and who bring in
speakers who say the conflict in the Middle East is God's punishment on
Jews for rejecting Jesus, and everyone can still think you're just a
good church-going Christian, but if you're black and friends with a
black pastor who has noted (as have Colin Powell and the U.S. Department
of Defense) that terrorist attacks are often the result of U.S. foreign
policy and who talks about the history of racism and its effect on black
people, you're an extremist who probably hates America.

* White privilege is not knowing what the Bush Doctrine is when asked by
a reporter, and then people get angry at the reporter for asking you
such a "trick question," while being black and merely refusing to give
one-word answers to the queries of Bill O'Reilly means you're dodging
the question, or trying to seem overly intellectual and nuanced.

* White privilege is being able to claim your experience as a POW has
anything at all to do with your fitness for president, while being black
and experiencing racism is, as Sarah Palin has referred to it, a "light"
burden.

And finally, white privilege is the only thing that could possibly allow
someone to become president when he has voted with George W. Bush 90
percent of the time, even as unemployment is skyrocketing, people are
losing their homes, inflation is rising, and the U.S. is increasingly
isolated from world opinion, just because white voters aren't sure about
that whole "change" thing. Ya know, it's just too vague and ill-defined,
unlike, say, four more years of the same, which is very concrete and
certain.

White privilege is, in short, the problem.

Wall Street Journal blasts John McCain
http://caffertyfile.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/19/how-does-the-wsj-article-affect-mccain/

McCain pointed the finger at Cox and said if he were president, he'd fire him for "betraying the public's trust."

The Wall Street Journal called that assault "both false and deeply unfair."

The Journal also said, "In a crisis voters want steady, calm leadership... not easy, misleading answers that will do nothing to help."

[mussa]

dinosaurs people....DINOSAURS!

[Geowhizzer]

dinosaurs people....DINOSAURS!

Yes... I believe McCain could be old enough to have lived with the dinosaurs...

John McCain was crucified with Jesus, be he was the tougher one and survived.

John McCain on Healthcare:

Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.

So, how'd that work out for the banking industry again?
