TEA Party Commercial from Chicago TEA Party

Is it racist to think drug dealing is more popular than College?

GOP leaders call on Al Reynolds to end campaign


Many people are calling for Al Reynolds to step down from the Dist 52 IL Senate Race because they claim his comments were racist. Al Reynolds was simply pointing out that our society has glamorized illegal actives and the Drug Dealing lifestyle more so than working hard to obtain a good education. He could have been more articulate in this message but that is what comes along with being un-seasoned politician who is more a man of the people than a paid public orator.

Does this make Al Reynolds a racist? Where Would Al have gotten this idea?

Just listen to Clipse's "I'm not you"

an authentic portrayal of dealing blow.

"I keep the Ziploc bustin at the stitches"
"From the panel to the dash, its four pounds of slab"
"Rappers is talking to me as if we in the same boat,
I tell them quick no I move Coke."

But surely this is not the norm right? I mean we need to look very hard to find any other sources of such glamorization in the drug trade. Actually you need not look very far at all. Below are only a few examples I found after looking for less than 5 minutes. I did however spend 20 minutes looking for chart topping rap music whose topic was about getting good grades and going to college. I couldn't find one.

Jadakiss & styles p - dope money


Biggie - 10 crack commandments


Cassidy - ima hustler



So is it only Al Reynolds who feels like the glamorization of this lifestyle is at the root of the problem. Actually No. Here are just a few articles that delve into the idea that this style and culture only perpetuates the problem.

How Hip-Hop Holds Blacks Back

Rap music is keeping the black community in poverty

The impact of Rap music on young black Americans

Angry black women take aim at rappers

I think it's clear that Al Reynolds is not the first person to talk about this issue. He may only be the first one brave enough to do it in Champaign or Vermilion County.

Cheers,

Mike

Al Reynolds IL Senate Dist. 52 Candidate

Al Reynolds the IL Senate Dist. 52 Candidate made comments at a Candidate Forum on Wednesday night 10-20-2010, that do not reflect the opinion of the East Central IL TEA Party.

For the record, I do not believe Al Reynolds is a racist. I think his choice of words were poor. His point was relevant if fully understood, which is impossible in a one minute answer to a question that really requires 20 minutes of discussion to fully understand.

The following is his initial Response from Wednesday's nights comments. It's my understanding that he will be releasing an additional statement soon.

“Racial remarks stunned the audience”
This headline described my comments at the recent League of Women Voters and NAACP forum. I would like to apologize if my statements offended anyone in the audience and in my community.
I realize that my words generalized a small segment of my neighbors and I regret the inferences that it created. That was certainly not my intent.
My comments were intended to initiate a conversation which could lead to solutions for not only African-American youth anticipating college, but youth in general. As an elected official it is my intent to build real educational opportunities, for everyone of all races and gender, not just applicants for admission to the University of Illinois.

I have a strong background of involvement in minority communities, and know first hand the challenges many minority youth face. While I was training for the ministry, I served in the trenches working with two low income churches in Los Angeles. I saw first hand the impact that street crime, gangs, and restricted job opportunities had on minority youth.

I have plans to change this, to bring solutions, and I am outraged that I am being labeled a racist. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have dedicated my life to building bridges for all people and to improve the quality of life for all mankind.

I was speaking from my heart, and although in hindsight I would have worded my statement differently, I am, and have always been strongly committed to the American dream for everyone, including African American youth. I remain committed to solutions and will continue working on behalf of all citizens of our district.

As a Navy Corpsman for 20 years, I put my life on the line in service for my country, for everyone in my country, red, yellow, black, or white.
I am in this race to create real solutions for Danville, the 52nd District and Illinois and not to shy away or gloss over difficult issues and discussions as we've seen too often from professional politicians. Again I regret if my comments were offensive to anyone as that was not my intent.

Al Reynolds, Republican Candidate for the 52nd Senate seat.

NPR does it again "Juan Williams fired!"

Juan Williams fired!!!

Many of you know I have a love hate relationship with NPR, but now they have gone and done it. Firing Juan Williams is just one more example that NPR has no interest in honest reporting of news but rather the force feeding of an agenda. If Juan Williams cannot share his views without fear of being fired who can? Juan Williams is far from a right wing conservative drone. He's a man who has written several books and been on the air a long time. There is plenty of evidence to show Juan Williams is not a black racist, he's not a staunch conservative talking head or person who allows his views to be swayed but an American who shares his opinion on the issues of he day. Sometimes you agree with him others you might not, but you always get the sense of the place he's coming from.

If Juan Williams isn't safe, who is?

Cheers,

Mike

Meghan McCain is a Nut Job

Meghan McCain is a Nut Job!

Meghan recently said the same thing of Delaware Senatorial Hopeful Christine O'Donnell. Meghan thinks O'Donnell turns away women like her, women of her generation. Women who have tattoos and love punk rock music while saving the environment over human life. Meghan also thinks that she turns people off because she has no record and no business accomplishments. I don't think Christine O'Donnell is too worried about those women Meghan. Not everyone has a father who's been in Congress for 27 years and a mother who is a beer tycoon. I think America is ready for a few common people to enter the Senate. People who have financial problems and understand what it's like to be broke. So don't worry your pretty little head Meghan, go pop the top off a cold Bud Light and save a few trees why don't you.

Cheers,

Mike

9-11 Truth (Why I liken 9-11 to Christmas)

If I'm not already archived at one of our fine Fusion centers this post will certainly get me there.

OK, here is a topic that I find myself seriously conflicted on.
The theory that 9-11 was an inside job.

Last month I went through my Facebook friends and removed anyone who was flying that black 9-11 inside job flag. I did this because I have always believed that this theory was ignorant and ridiculous. I am not generally a hard core conspiracy theorist, but some would disagree with me on that. I am however the last person who would say that we can trust our government. I know, I know, I can't trust the government, but I'm willing to dismiss that our wise overlords would do such a thing as fake a terrorist attack.

(who knows where thoughts come from, they just appear)

I liken this to the child who first comes to the realization that Santa Claus is not a real person, but a myth or legend. They have become intelligent enough to know that a fat man who fly's around on a sleigh powered my magical reindeer is probably not real, but with this intelligence comes the nagging fear, that they may be wrong.... What happens to Christmas with no Santa? Will there still be toys on Christmas morning? Will there still be family fun or Mid-night mass?

( I apologize in advance to those of you who do not believe in Christmas or Santa i.e Jews, Muslims and people who dismiss any thing remotely pagan in nature)

There is no question that I believe our government has grown out of control. But to believe that those in Washington had anything at all to do with the events on September 11th is too much for me to handle, allow me to explain. There were simply too many incidents to believe that if it were an inside job, only a few people could have been involved. Many people would have needed to be in on this massive project. People from all levels of the Federal Government. Consider the issues on their agenda.

• Conspire to allow an attack to happen on U.S. Soil, which would ultimately end the lives of hundreds to thousands or people.
• They would be directing the destruction of Jet Liners and giant buildings
  
• They would be allowing an attack on the Pentagon, the heart of our national defense.
  

• If the buildings were brought down by explosive means, people would have needed to place how much explosive? You don't actually believe GW and Dick went to the World trade center and installed c4 themselves do you? think about this, the regular Joe's, involved in this. They would be setting explosives that would destroy and kill an unknown number of people.

The people involved with this would be on the same level as Hitler, Stalin and Mao. If our Government has reached this level of corruption, is there an end in sight? Does November 2nd mean anything? If they can plan 9-11 what makes us think our elections are even remotely honest anymore? Is there a way to take back our country without an armed uprising?

If they planned 9-11, what makes you think that Barack Obama was nothing short of the hand picked leader to take over the N.W.O?

If they planned 9-11, what makes you think that a single election in this country means anything?

If they planned 9-11, what makes anyone believe that our Republic can still be rescued?

If they planned 9-11, we might as well load our rifles and storm Washington. Is there any other way?

Really, is there?

This is why I must go to bed at night and hope and pray even, that Santa Claus still exists.

Cheers,

Mike

Illinois's Credit rating continues to suffer

Illinois which has some of the highest entitlements in the Country continues to prove why these plans do work in the long term. Simply said, you cannot keep borrowing money to give away when there is no way in sight to repay those loans in the future, especially when Businesses are leaving and there is very little in the works to bring in new industry. The only way the state can raise it's revenue will be to raise taxes, unless it makes some hard decisions and begins to cut from it's budget.

Bloomberg News reports that Illinois is faring poorly when compared to some foreign governments not known for solid financial management. Not only is Illinois tied with California for the worst credit in the nation, but Bloomberg found that Illinois recently had to pay a higher interest rate to borrow money than Mexico, Portugal and Peru. In less than two years, Illinois's credit rating dropped eight times, and there warnings that the state could receive another drop soon.

"Moody’s Investors Service changed the outlook on the state’s credit rating to negative from stable, which may indicate a cut will be made in grades affecting $25 billion of A1 rated general-obligation bonds. Moody’s cited the state’s failure to take steps to correct a “structural budget imbalance” and pension finances."

Hand to Hand Combat

ATTENTION!!!, Corpse Men, we need some Corpse Men right away.

Our President has declared that there will be Hand to Hand combat if the GOP takes over after the 2010 November election. This sounds dangerous, there may be injuries. So we need some Corpse Men straight away because it looks like the GOP is probably going to kick the Democrat Party square in the face in November.

Seriously, we know President Obama doesn't know the difference between a Corpsman and Corpse Men so are we to believe he even knows what Hand to Hand combat means? Well he does have SEIU President Andy Stern to the White House on a regular basis so it's safe to assume he might know a thing or two about bare knuckle fighting. Could it really come to this?

Tennessee Home fire "TEA Party America"???

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

When I first heard about the story of a Tennessee home burning down because they hadn't paid the $75 fee I thought for sure there must more to the story. I didn't bother looking into it until last night when I heard that the nimrod a.k.a Keith Olberman actually connected the event to the tea party. He said, "that this is what a tea party America will look like". Keith Olberman is actually suggesting that if you believe in TEA party principles you some how believe that a fire department should allow a home to burn down simply because a fee was not paid.

Now whether or not you believe in privatized public services or not I think you can agree that no one should allow a home to burn when you have the means to fight it. Like I assumed early on there is more to the story, the people who lived in this area previously did not have fire department service at all but the city fire department would provide service outside city limits for the 75 dollar fee. Again whether or not you believe in this system is a moot point. The real issues here are whether or not you believe that fire fighters with hoses should watch a home burn and whether or not this has any connection at all to the TEA party movement.

Is this a tragedy, absolutely but it's not a TEA Party tragedy.
