A legend in the history of modern Rock-N-Roll, has passed this Christmas Morning into history... according to the Associated Press James Brown died of complications from pneumonia in an Atlanta hospital, he was 73.  His contributions to pop music and pop culture are incalculable and will be sorely missed.  As a musician myself, I know we wouldn't have nearly as many rick bands as we would the way we have them now without Brown's since of time and quantization. "One the one" became synonymous with many R&B bands but don't know it was Brown's innovation that brought us those tight funky grooves, again... the man made his mark.

While the DNC tries to decide how best to affront American cultural sensibilities by selecting from a veritable buffet of political dissidents for presidential candidates, from the just plain macabre to the pie-pan deep. We have seen many of their arse[enal] already and can [in my belief] be able to dismantle any intelligible movement they make for reassert their claims for house and senate bids in the 08' primaries. However, having said that... why is the RNC so obsessed with the a Whitehouse bid. If we focus of campaigning to the everyday do.. like we didn't before and stop thinking our incumbency will slide us on through most of the time, especially at a time when we are waging a superficially unpopular war would we focus on a figure head and not a) consensus and b) operational control.  It is times like this where you may be able to apply conventional wisdom to a given situation and still come out ahead.

Ancient Chinese philosophy would tell us to keep our friend close, but enemies close. What better way to get the nutter crowd to spill the beans on their advanced agenda that to let them get it all out of their system.  Obama for president is a cultural and social oxymoron for several reasons, mainly a black muslim in American with a muslim name. I have had the privilege of sharing with people and hearing many of their opinions on the matter, and it is interesting to hear the PC chatter. To conservative blacks, he is a no-no; to those escaped the "hood" he's one of them.. so there you have it. A symbol of sorts, b) Hillary is only important to the leftist "I think I can" camp.  As a black neocon  myself, I can tell you this... Obama would look in the mirror everyday and deny the image he sees in it, and look elsewhere for affirmation in not seeing it where he should have. Simple meaning... in a Judeo Christian setting, knowing it is the liberties espoused and enjoyed by a right and just people knowing the birthright we have and that other despise, I would give thanks to a pagan nonexistent face for my blessings of not having to dodge a bullet going to the market, or to school.

To women Hillary represents a curious first, however.. it is sharply divided in my conversations with would be Hillary minions.  Some are adamant that they would never vote for here... they are the minority, but for other reasons not typical ones [which I found profoundly interesting to entertain], many would vote for a Condoleeza Rice, but not Hillary simply because they can see she is DNC mouth piece only.  However, many just are not ready for a woman president... and these are women. Some cited the war and respect for troops to command as she would be Commander-in-Chief, how would they rallie? Some of these I would have never thought to consider myself. So it brought me to the ultimate question [again] why are we worried about the Whitehouse, whoever wins will be bound by the agenda of the congressional and senatorial majorities anyhow. Suggested strategy.. once again... don't worry about the Whitehouse. Go out in and amongst the people again, and this time find candidates they want and agendas they have spoken through referendum and want, but are getting bottled up on Capital Hill because they are not in their best interest'. The nation would be best served that way in this bloggers opinion.

It would appear MSN just cannot say enough about Sen. Tim Johnson's condition. Ok.. maybe it's me... but to report on radid eye-movement, and every little pulse giving detail goes beyond what they would do anyone in the House right now... because that majority is close in their favour. The senate however... well, another conversation entirely. I have seen nothing like this... I will have to keep everyone posted on who reports what and why. I am so giddy!

James Baker, aka "Bush's Janitor" is making more mess than his monikers namesake can facilitate. It would seem that the Chairman of the Baker Institute of Foreign Affairs may be in a bit of a conflict of interest issue as far as I am concerned. Many have no clue that James Baker is Senior Counsel for the Carlye Group they represent the pension fund and investments of major U.S. firms and [oddly enough] the Saudi's and the Bin Laden family.  His partnership in the firm Baker & Botts are assisting in the proliferation of oil interests in the Caspian sea, as well as as a pipeline to be built through Afghanistan. He negotiated with the Taliban prior to the destructive 9/11 incidents... to which we heard nothing form Mr. Baker during that time did we? How is it then Baker can portend his involvement to be anything less than a complete complicity? Only when matters appear to be not working [by hearsay only] can he evoke the rhetoric of militant Imams and yellow press Imams here that the war is failing. Of course.. this makes perfectly sound reasoning why we have not been effective. We have voices lobbying their interests on Capital Hill in the form of a completely biased and onesided report basically advocating withdrawal and offering a passivist olive branch in the form reopening "diplomatic" talks when we are facing escalated violence in the region.  The ISG [as it where] would appear to be nothing more than a think tank report on how to undermine US security interests for nothing short of securing the free flow of oil. 

Now I see a spiritual dynamic behind why the GOP lost this past election. There had to be something to get the GOP to turn the mirror inside and see the why behind the why? You cannot protect US interests fully and while wallet chasing. In my estimation [ethically] he has no business participating in any foreign affairs strategy as it pertains to US war plans. There would be no reason why a panel cannot be assembled in a nonpartisan fashion as a committee that checks the background affiliation of proposed participants to ensure greater transparency. This is a egredious miscarriage of common sense ajudication of fairness and moral clarity here would seem to abate a fundemental tenet of due process if you ask me. Notice the lefty organization have been pretty quite... not to much evil speak on the nutter fronts, and Baker is a conservative. make sense? Nope... not at all -- I've always said, the bigger the lie, the more convoluted the solution.. there is where the money grab starts.  Bush needs to ignore these findings; and "find" someone else and keep on the course we all know has been the right one along. He needs to be more quarterback and work out a plan suitable to what war is supped to be, then end all diplomatic solution... When war is evoked... no more Mr. Nice Guy, it's gloves off an to the victor got the spoils. If we are there [and we are] we should be there is force... not in farce.

What people fail to recognize about Islam because they are pounded by alarmist rhetoric on the right,
and a wholesale glossing over by the left here is that Islam's roots are not even being discussed by their own scholars. So it reveals a deep seeded philosophical and ideological bent to ones own perspective being the dogma.  That is why their is so much inter faith bickering and violence. What is the true Qu'ran, but the deeper question is... if you had to ask that. You had nothing to begin with...

"...Muslims, as well as others, have disregarded the historical facts. They have continually striven to turn this man [Mohammed] into an imaginary superhuman being, a sort of God in human clothes, and have generally ignored the ample evidence of his humanity. They have been ready… to present these fantasies as miracles." 
                  Source: Persian Islamic Scholar Ali Dashti, "Twenty Three Years: A Study of the Prophetic Career of Muhammad"

Another interesting fact on Islam is that originally Muslims were forced to accept the teachings of Christ, which makes sense in light of many Middle-Easterners are Coptic Christians [a rinsed-off orthodox doctrine] and not Muslim at all, not this all pans out with what was revealed in part I about the misleading demographics of Islam worshippers. According to Islam reported by scholars at Biblesource "Muslims have no choice but to believe in the Christian Bible and the Apostles who wrote it. The Qur'an forbids anyone, on pain of shameful punishment, from making distinctions between the authority of the apostles and prophets of God, or from choosing between God's words. No one is permitted to believe in part and reject a part. Those who presume to do so, it says, are infidels in reality (Suras 4:150-152; 2:89; 42:13-15; 29:46-47)."  Now, Muhammad was given charter to adopt the Qu'ran as a study helps to support the Torah, meaning it was never ever meant to be it's own faith.  This is a huge misunderstanding here that was never passed down to worshippers, also Muhammad had trouble understanding the trinitarian nature of the Torah.

"- In Sura 5:48 we are told that Muhammad is given the Qu'ran as a confirmation of the bible; that is - it is meant to prove the bible's authenticity.... "And We have revealed to you the Book with the truth, verifying what is before it of the Book and a guardian over it,"                                                                               Source:Bibleprobe

In order to understand the Qu'ran [or Koran] you have to know the mind of the man who gave it meaning to so many people. There are well known facts that Muhammad was a polygamist, he had twelve wives. He bore a son [supposedly] from one of the unions, and when he died the scholars that wanted the son to carry on his teachings where called Shi'ites, or minority.  that Sunni or majority wanted to carry on the works of Muhammad... understandably so as Muhammad was illiterate.  That's right.. he could neither read nor write. Now lesson is human relation put us as this reality, if you cannot read nor write... who is going to take you serious? This is why there is so much violent disagreement between the tribes of Islam followers. Other little known facts about Muhammad, he was a pedophile. He had sex with a 9 year old girl that he was to marry... there is also word of a 12 year old boy that got in his clutched as well. The latter of these exploits seemed to have carried over through the years. However, these things are never discussed, just kept out of sight, therefore out of mind. It makes sense though on the pedophilia issue.. one of a martyrs rewards in wherever it is a dead Muslim suicide bomber goes is according to fable, he is to be attended to by "seven alabaster skinned" servants as in hand[maid]servants.

We know historically handmaidens were in many ways sex surragut for the Mrs. at any given time. Now.. on that end.. if I was just going to contrive a reward for a hereafter kinda thing... I could [frankly] think of 110 better demises that a pedophilic one. That is just a figment of a pathological nut job on the loose. So to briefly recap this section with more data from the Sura claiming "This Sura below shows how Muhammad had a complete misunderstanding of the Christian Gospel, and what the Trinity is. Apparently, Muhammad is referring to Christians. But his error here is that both Christians and Jews believe there is only One God. Muhammad also mistakenly thought the Trinity was the Father, Son and Mother (Mary). - Sura 5:73-75, "They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three..." Again, below Muhammad attests to the Torah's (Taurat) authority. So, for Muslims to claim the Bible was corrupted is an argument already lost.... This Sura below shows how Muhammad had a complete misunderstanding of the Christian Gospel, and what the Trinity is. Apparently, Muhammad is referring to Christians. But his error here is that both Christians and Jews believe there is only One God. Muhammad also mistakenly thought the Trinity was the Father, Son and Mother (Mary). - Sura 5:73-75, "They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three..." Again, below Muhammad attests to the Torah's (Taurat) authority. So, for Muslims to claim the Bible was corrupted is an argument already lost...."

Now as for material writing and biographies on the life of Muhammad, not much at all survives until about 150 A.D. when a muslim scholar by the name of Muhammad Bin-Abdullah. Now the Shi'ites claim Muhammad was born to his mother Amina in Mecca on April, 20 520 A.D. and died sometime shorty thereafter [this may be more reliable as [later] Shi'ites were family]. Muhammad was a member of the Hashim family line. His father died not to long after his birth, so Muhammad was orphaned as a youth. This ia huge on its own, why? can you see now why an orphan way want to create something to unite a a body of people? right motive.... wrong application, but in total... kinda second nature wouldn't you think? Secondly he was remanded to the care of his grandfather Abdul Muttalib, who at that time was a tribal Chief, the name of the tribe was Qu'raysh, now this is reality check 101 here. See where the similarities of the name Qu'ran and tribal name came from? This was a legacy to be bestowed from his family name. Remember in part I we discussed Muhammad having to have permission form his tribal elders to proceed with this process, and he was monitored quite a bit, this was until he went to Medina. At the age on 9 he started an exhibition to Syria, now he was prone to epileptic fits from the age of 5 but went on anyway. Along the way garnering behavioral lessons form his grandfather and uncle... learning to act princely.

He noticed that members of his [Qu'raysh] grandfathers tribe [moon worshipers] prayed several times a day... at sunrise, at noon and at sunset. All facing the direction of the idol blackstone. But where he traveled "While away from Arabia he saw the sacred places of the Jews. He stood on the spot where the King of Salem came out and did obeisance to Abraham. He was shown the place where his great mother, the bondwoman Hagar, went forth leading Ishmael by the hand. He saw Damascus, city of the desert, and Sinai, the mountain of the law. Then he returned to Mecca full of visions and dreams. His teen years were as a shepherd and an attendant of caravans." Quite a bountiful teen experience wasn't it? Not too much unlike any other kid in the world who had a bitchen vacation.

In a post 9/11 world view.. the world has for the most part been speaking out of two sides of the same head. When it comes to their unites disdain for America and out foreign policy or just us in particular as I have never met a European who could just give a succinct argument on their hatred of America.. why is that? because the people by in large don't' have a problem with us, it is the ones [along with their politicians] who have bought into socialism or a marxist economic model rather that the liberty to bring your best ideas [not ideals] to a common market and make the most you can with them. That and being free because God created them freely to come to know Him in their freedom. When the government you have espouses these fundamental truths and base the laws of your land on these elements it seems to this blogger you have something special and It had me thinking, this whole model of America is new to the world. If we are hated it is because we have made a mockery out of every system that professed itself to be wise but in the end was laid waste by the natural excesses of iniquity run unchecked. B ut are by no means imperfect but every high minded machination that lifted itself above the realm of reason and the reaches common sense have next to nothing to show for their tenure on this earth. 

Islam is a very interesting contrast to the teaching of Jesus Christ of Nazareth as in its creation it was founded out of ancestral disunity. This conflict between Islam and the rest of the civilized world can be traced back to times predating the establishment of the people of Israel. But how are these people? you wouldn't know this but the majority of Muslims world wide are not even of Arab decent. Asian Muslims hold that distinctive title... but Islam is know more for its rhetoric than reason to loosely quote Dr. Hank Hanegraff founder of the Christian Research Institute in Raliegh, North Carolina.  According to his Research "as a matter of fact multiplied millions of Arabs are not even Muslim at all, they are Coptic Christians" when are also exposed to dogmatic stereotypes of Muslims as somehow uncivilized backward goat herders. That couldn't be farther from the truth as modern civilization developed. We show to the world stage viewing our reactions to developments with the Muslim community an almost neolithic ignorance when it comes to their history. In my opinion our children should be taught the history of Islam right along with Christian biblical studies because it will crack the veil of stupidity we have toward a people who have predated us. Now to not sound as though I am advocating entirely the people and their ways.. I will qualify that statement with just because you are around doesn't mean you are productive. He also adds while Christian Europe was mired in the Dark Ages, Muslim empires were alight with architecture, the arts and cultural renaissance. We need to not be ignorant of this fact... He has a point. Media is bass ackwards on what they choose to let creep through their infected grasp, but ignorance in the pulpit is the death of us all.

I am attempting with this two part series is to shed a little light on Islam's origins, who Mohammed really was? and why we need to be eyes wide from now on? As a primer I suggest you start by reading you Bible if you don't have one, I'll supply a link here to the relevant scripture on Biblegateway.com. Lets start in Genesis Chapter  15 The Word of God had spoken to Abram [not yet Abraham yet] and told him that Ishmael was not the heir God had intended. Now Abraham loved Ishmael deeply... but if God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac at an altar, what made Ishmael think he was going to be any less devout when over looking his claim on his inheritance. The reality was Abram was impatient and directly disobedient to the will, word and law of God. He listened to Sarah and slept with his maidservant [a common practice of the day ut was still not God's law or will] and bore Ishmael. Now read chapter 15 and 16, then you will come away with the understanding of boils under this all, and inheritance. That of they understood Christ... they have already, but that they stick to emnity and strife -- every mans hand will be against him [them].  The Word of God cannot be discounted here... look at the the geopolitical situation those Arabs who are Islamic are in? let alone those who practice it, and those who think they will fair well with out God Word are simply deceived.  Abraham's disobedience caused a ripple across time that has caused many many problems, and the worst geopolitical climate in history.

There is a quote that goes something like this "Christians and Jewish martys will die for what they believe... A Muslim martyr says you will die for what I believe" See very cloearly the polar differetialities between true religiosity and Islam.  This is a belief that sprung from from the tribal elders allowing a man by the name of Mohammed to assemble a specific set of rules and guides to bring the sons of Ishmael together... something to bring unity.  Mohommed himself saw that the Jews worshipped one God and were united by this. The Arab people at the time worshipped more than 250 gods and the moon god Allah was of that count. Factoid 1) Mohommed could not just bring his spiritual offering without the blessings of the tribal leaders... afterall, who the heck was Mohammed? He had to get their blessing to do this... so how does one get the ok to galvanize a bevy of nomadic tribes to codify themselves as one people under the banner of one belief. They had no land of their own. Palestine [as they call themselves] was a territory that the Emporer Herodius banished the Apostle John to [the isle of Patmos was int hat territory] the land was called Syria Palestina. The lans was vast, but on the fringes of the Roman holdings. Included in that area was Israel, modern day Syria and Lebanon. It was not a state, but Israel was established there already in all of its provences, but there was no united Arab state ever in exitence called Palestine, there still isn't today.  It is sort of like the fabled separation of church and state arguement... we've all heard it, but it simply isn't true. Repeat it until you believe it is a tactic that suits delusional rebels, but clear thinking objective people choose to understand what is real rather than what is fictitiously repeated. Some fundemental underpinnings of Islam that are inherently dangerous is the comingling acceptance then in the same breath rejection of the Scriptures are a profound conudrum.

"... Islam claims that Allah is the same God who was revealed in the Bible. . . . then if the Bible and the Qur'an have differing views of God, then Islam's claim is false. Don't forget that Muhammad claimed in Suras 2:87, 29:46, 32:23, 5:44, 6:154, 6:155 that Allah confirmed the Torah (Taurat) and Christian Gospel (Injeel) (Sura 2:87, 5:46, 5:68, 29:46 and 43:63). So, if the Torah and Gospel are correct, all the errors in the Qur'an shown below make the Qur'an false.

A tenet of Islam is that both Mohammed and Jesus of Nazareth were both Muslims. Islam says both were prophets sent by Allah. If this were true, then it is mandatory that these two great prophets must coincide exactly in all points and never contradict each other. Did not the same Allah send both of them? Then, aren't even the smallest of contradictions between the two, very big red flags? And there are a great many, which you will see below. Sura 5:68 - Say: "O People of the Book! ye have no ground to stand upon unless ye stand fast by the Law (Torah), the Gospel (Injeel), and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord."  Sura 29:46 Muslims are told by Allah, not to question the authority of the scriptures of the Christians, saying, "And dispute ye not with the People of the Book, but say, "We believe in the revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you; Our Allah and your Allah is one;..."

"...Proverbs 30:4 (700 B.C.): "Who hath ascended up into heaven or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in His fists? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the Earth? What is His name, and what is His son's name, if thou canst tell?"

If you remember just a week prior to this shameful display by these "men of peace" while boarding an airliner while engaging in behavior just barely legal enough not to get them arrested was another Muslim inciter on the UCLA campus that got tazed because he wouldn't comply with officers wishes leave the premises peaceably. The incident [caught on camera] did not show the officers carrying on outside of the legal limits, yet this scumbag now is suing for matters of religious intolerance. Well, maybe those world view idolaters over at UCLA may be suspect, but not directly here. They will be held victim to their own PC games. These incidents are not isolated... This Congressmen Ellis with his "religious" affrontment over affirming his dedication and duty on the Bible over the Quoran is just madness, I wonder if he minds being paid in Iraqi currency.. we could work that, no peoblem? This a signal to test the reliance on the lefts caving in on matters of geopolitical significance. If they kowtow to these muckrakers[and you know they will]... they have just advanced their cause even more.

There are a slew of cable channels that are included in you basic cable package that are like social termites that just come along in the bundle, and if you aren't on your bean. You'll be inviting the voice of the reprobate social engineer right into your midst eating away at your investment [children] until nothing you recognize exists anymore.  After all, even the fabled vampire cannot enter a home unless invited... so how is it we get stuck with liberal media producers bent on telling history in a way convenient for their comfort zone carefully bundeled into programming we cannot protest? Nutters will spin their twisted interpretation of the 1st amendment on you. But there is no such protection for historical accuracy, they'll just claim artictic license... which in nonsense we all know. But the The Learning Channel, The Discovery Recovery Channel, and the History [?] Channel are blatant authors of historical revisionist or appeasement oriented historical offerings.  The Learning and Discovery Channels are unquestioned champions of the rhetoric atheism in the form of evolution progamming, and some of it is so slick... you wonder, about a great many things that went into its production.

The History Channel was parading another one of its Civil War products discussing domestic terrorism during the cose of the civil war. The points they not so subltely made were nothign short of providing a nimble road map for civil unrest.  They went into bomb making, locations most likely to be effective, and offered a bit of a monologue on why these insurgents were so succesfull. Terrosists watching this would certainly see an open book catalog for advocating their genocidal depravity. I am telling you folks... I have blogged on thisbefore... until there is a breaking up of the must carry budles and comlete selectablity of your basic cable packages. These people are getting guarantees advertasing revenues because their wares are bundles in with the basic cable package. MTV woul dbe put in place the minute the poeple [parents] showed them just how valuable their programming is when their ratings tanked almost overnight. Scores of parents have voices their opposition to bundled basic cable or satellite serivices... and the ACLU will stand right in there and find a way to protect the revenues of open channels of social dissidence in our public airways.  Well... they'd try anyway. My ears just couldn't believe what I was hearing... amazing how sophisticated htese nutters think they are. This needs to be visitied again but won't have much inpact with a libral majority... another failing of the GOP to get family oriented legislation while they had their majority. The FCC actually had a politcy and rule they were considering before Michael Powell stepped down. Now I fear it will never get as much light as it really needs. These networks are open pipelines for misinformation and indoctrination that need to be opted out of.

I was astounded to learn a zoological study of the rare Cuckoo birds nesting behavior stunningly resembles the behavior of a sect of our society that is bent on making sure that everyone else either bends a knee to or is silenced in their opposition to their nutty perspectives on life.  They have pretty good reason for calling the Cuckoo bird just that, did you know that the Cuckoo bird nests in existing nests of other birds?  It will lay its eggs in with other birds eggs. Since the Cuckoo advances [grows] quickly... it will displace the younglings that were in the nest before it was laid, utterly kicking them out of a nest that was not made for them. Is that something... or what?

Who in our society hatched a heretical way to live and invaded a system and way of life that preempted their arrival? What voice is our electorate chooses to interpret the law rather than understand it in a vain attempt to normalize socially destructive behavior? What voice is our society picked a fight the predominate and preexisting voice citing intolerance when their our intolerance is evident, all without the evidence to support their own claims? Well... you needn't look any further than our own liberal brothers and sisters in this body politic. They came... lied and hatched an infectious set of ideals that are not more consistent to our innate values than what it could take to sustain any union or form of government. All because they throw off the discipline it takes to govern certain aspects of their lives and want to point the finger at people who are obviously living their lives without the apparent problem they are encountering because of a wholesale abandonment of core values that sustain and maintain life, liberty happiness... not fun.  Fun is temporal, happiness in longstanding... not delusional. Just thought I'd put that out there... isn't it funny how God uses His creation to illustrate things in our own lives we need to pay attention too?  His is God.. and God is Almighty...

Price of admission to the Pac 10 conference championship: $150.00 Price of snacks: $149.00 The look on your arrogant and seemingly unbeatable cross town rivals face when the clock ran out... priceless. Michigan fans hung on the edge of their chairs like a death sentence ruling. OSU fans did too... as the mystical BCS system revealed once again they are in with organized gambling or something with their nonsensical system of playoff games.  UCLA pulled off the upset of the year as it pertains to the Pac 10 ten season coming to a close.

UCLA stunned arrogant USC fans and the "west coast" offense... they got got west coast offended... as 6-5 UCLA sails a couple of field goals and holds off USC to pull off a stunner. I hate UCLA but I was pensive fan today. Hugh... so have a the fetching Mrs. hand you few cough drops and an Adovan tablet and let's let the two real teams fight it out again.  My colleague [to whom I rather admire... Buckeye or not] had the unmitigated gall to call Michigan fans "delusional" on the air... ok, it would seem the only question now is who is hitting the crack pipe now? Michigan is not going to let OSU dog them twice in one season.  Florida does not have a claim... they should play USC that is all the exposure they deserve out of their little league, Michigan vs. Ohio State pt. II baby! say it with me...



 That Darn Wolverine

I watched my team [Michigan] complete their schedule and was roughly some 90 to 100 points ahead of USC in the BCS, now the standard polls and ESPN's poll had Michigan at number 2, why? because they had finished their schedule.  How is it USC can be touted No.2 and they had 2 games to still play? Was a mood swing somehow involved in the voting? I actually ponder what criteria the cite for their poll rankings? Basically the BCS is fixing their outcome by removing bowl options for teams they want to have in the national title. Teams that have no program shouldn't have the right to skew the bowl series with their illegitimate claims to a right to play programs that legitimate. Go build up your program... then you can have something to talk about. But, Florida has no right to challenge Michigan in any bowl... Michigan only lost to OSU by 3 points... and OSU knows they don't want to play Michigan again.. they'd get it this time. You should have seen the look on Troy Smith's face when put to task the question of a rematch with the Wolverines... it was shear fear.

USC may be good but it is saying the wrong thing to allow a team that has not completed its schedule to get a berth is a bowl series yet... and rank them ahead of a teams that is 11-1 and completed its schedule. Their colors are showing, and its all green. Money is their only motivator, hint... this is college ball BCS guys -- leave the money nonsense to the pros and let these boys have their day. There will be enough pressure when they finish. It is an unfair tilt in the recruiting efforts of teams who have completed their schedules it is completely biased. Have you seen USC's recruiting roster? They have bevy of 5-star talent with strong to moderate verbal commitment. Now whether they will play or not? that is the question. I bet there are some teams that would love a crack at some of these boys... they need to be mindful of their actions at this point. People don't like the Bowl Championship Series the way it has been. It was better with the big program slug-out the way it was before. No one asked them for their "help" go back to the best of division 1 east vs. west and then follow that down all the way through the divisional list then then take the best 2 teams from the div. 1, 1A, 1 AA and them pay them off for a national title.  At least they aren't interfered with during the regular season with completely asinine out of conference match-ups that are low ratings nightmares waiting to happen. But they would have:

1. National Championship
2. Rose Bowl
3. Sugar Bowl
4. Cotton Bowl
5. Citrus Bowl

There you have it.. enough bowl games to keep the cable man busy all day... and then let the sponsors have at the playoff games in the divisionals. So instead of the frigging Tostito's Bowl, its Totistos sponsors the ACC/SEC divisional Championship. But you limit the bowl exposure the the ones that have tradionally ever mattered.. and you preserve the sanctity of that tradition while letting the teams still get money from the regional and divisional playoff series games.... then true college football fans will be serves... as this is supposed to be for them, but works out to be a nice compromise. What do you think?

No, it is not the regimental stripes of your old alma maters tie that signifies your allegiances. Nor is it who your parents tended to vote for. However... if you're gullible enough, it might be who your favorite cinema celebrity or pop figure line politically as. But chances are if you are liberal you vote your rebelion.  That's right... you vote to support who covers how you view a certain area in your life.  Ever notice got ultra-lefties shun moral commitments, but cling to supports areas of their social deviance. Vis a Vis, aids awareness... is their big thing. There is almost a dogma to their PC tactic to arrest the conscience of anyone who doesn't go along with them in this area. This starts in the home -- as a child. Where they raised with a sense of personal accountability and being responsible for the steps they take? Or were they on autopilot? There is a rhetoric that is fairly omnipresent with the left from the stand point of a united front against personal accountability that exposes why they rebel and their excuse for social unrest... and dissidence against anything morally correct. Children who rebeled against authority and never submitted to familiar values as a standard to guide behavior from are today's parents who are "parenting" well.. that is an existential label for what is suppose to be a mother and fathers role to rear children.

To the liberal anyone can "parent" but it takes something more than tips from your local celebrity shrink to make you see the light. To illustrate the reality of my point... you have no further than legislation authored by agents of social changes within our own government that want to destroy the family unit because family represents unity and unity reminds them of morality, AB606 had worded in it specific language prohibiting the usage of common language to define gender specific roles in the family unit... yes, did you hear what I just said? You cannot call a mother a mother, not a father a father. Just androgenous, nondescript Orwellian terms for the family "unit" as to not offend trans"genders" or homosexuals. This is the depth and resolve of their depravity, these people are pathologicial liars and possessed by their common goal to ultimately have socialism or communism as the social platform here and they are trying to do it "democratically"... inch by inch, and we are giving it to them when we fail to use reason instead of revenge at the polls. Democrats, well.. they never claimed to be the party of moral clarity did they? It has to be an instilled sense of clarity... a known absolute balance of right and wrong. When this is unclear... more behavioral bargaining occurs to quell a situation rather than be clear and get a point across their may be a life lesson to be learned their. And that is the problem today; too many life lessons are being bargained down with circular reasoning just to cross political lines... if wrong is wrong and right is right before the election... how is it suddenly blurred when the primaries start?

Liberals are raised [in my opinion] with a teaching that is fundamentally flawed... they are not raised to accept responsibility for their own end. They are taught that what ever the problem is.. something in society caused it. That is the difference between a conservative family and the secular. When you omit the Creator you omit His laws of nature. Discipline is the most basic human behavior forges, liberal have very little of it instilled in them -- this much is visibly evident and they would be lying to deny it. Without the ability to deny taking the short cut sometimes... or the fire it takes to purge an unproductive negative behavior from our paths to become a productive member of the body politic, is and must be our first duty, not devolving into a sensual wanderlust and wholly dependant socialist.  It is funny to witness that exactly everything that the big social engineers tell us is good for us or that we must adopt in order to live with them... is exactly what God in His Word tells us we can live without. So there you have it... a core belief that you can achieve anything by doing what you want to do... or understand that just because you can doesn't mean you should.  Today's liberals are just like big babies, the minute you tell them play time is over -- they darn near fall out into anaphylactic shock, only problem is now they are old enough to try to force a permanent moral recess on the whole country. This BS has gotta stop. The big problem is the GOP gets an identity crisis every 24 months, and courting a minorty of luke-warm voters instead of staying true to the majority you already had makes the left sense they are having more impact than they actually are. The GOP doesn't need to play red state/blue state... but if they keep going after the disapearing genine in the swing-voter bottle. They will be the ones that will continue to have lop-sided tenures up on capitol hill.

Only in America could a twisted hack posing as a comedian empty the contents of his heart on stage in
front people who never asked for an epithet rant as part of the sideshow at the Laugh Factory going on just over a week ago now. In the most foul and unsettling manner... I had the unamiable displeasure to have heard the whole tirade... and there is no way you can sit here and tell this blogger Mr. Richards snapped, and poo-poo on Mel Gibson for tempting to weigh in on it too and add a degree of politically induced empathy, the two incidents are not even the same. It looks like he is trying to buy some Hollywood currency right there with the impending release of Apacalypo [sounds like a throat lozenge huh?] hitting theater near you soon.

Mr. Richards has now entertained the thinkably unthinkable... Think of the zaniest episode of Seinfeld, and then multiply that to the 5th power and one will just barely reach the coat tales of such an egredious miscarriage of social and moral decorum perhaps ever perpetrated on a stage in comedy. Most people go to stand-ups to hear other people be insulted, not themselves and everyone else in their ethnic radar range be the targets themselves [although for you nutter entrepreneurs it would be the worlds first self deprecating comedy clinic], and then get dragged into it personally.  So, over the weekend following this unfortunate turn of circumstances. A call gets placed to none other than Mr. Shakedown himself Jesse Jackson. Founder of the Rainbow Coalition, and apparently the Mutual Hi-Tech Shakedown Fund, leveraged by him on Bill Gates' behalf for the benefit of all black men in hi-tech careers who apparently can go to work with a little afro pick with a fist in their back pockets can go and hold their heads up high [ok.. the music can stop now] anyway... the festivities could hardly be complete without the addition of the preacher/pundit/politician with a perm... Hmmm, makes me think. Is there an organization out here called the PPP to offset the KKK? It begs the question. Well if they did -- the venerable Al Sharpton would have to be their poster child. Because he sure got thrown int o the fray all for a cross country sideshow that only the great P.T. Barnum would have call the greatest ? on earth.

That's  right ladies and gents. these social mind massagers in the form of puedo-politicians are on a cross-country shakedown until we breakdown [are at least until Mr. Jackson has obtained a suitable reparation for his time]. They are hosting with Michael Richards a tolerance tour. Give me a friggin break... wait, second thought... here is a tolerance tour I'd pay to go see. John Kerry over in Iraq... not just Iraq. In Baghdad where the shells are flying -- not just that comfortable hotel zone for Al-Jezeera and CNN nutter reports.  I'd pay real money to go see him apologize for his maligning of American troops. But not some nutter tour, but I must say in the fallout immediately following Richard's rant... Paul Rodriguez was laying it down in the liberal defense of the 1st amendment right to utter such nonsense. But the conversation turn into its usual digression... why can blacks use the word and no one else can in artistic license, then digressing further... how come the music industry allows it and Hollywood as well. I heard every social excuse but personal accoutability and standards enforcement. Typical lefty rhetoric... it's societies fault not mine for why these things happen... still.  Only in Hollywood could a second rate talent like Richards get a rebirth after such a noxious off-gas of racial intolerance [the proper usage of the word] -- ladies and gentleman Mr. Richards meant what he said -- The bible tells us "...out of a man's mouth flows the abundance of his heart" that situation as a trigger to release what was already there and he is not fooling any one but those willing to grant him a stage to do so. Forgiveness is one thing... he needs the reckoning, it will be interesting to see if this tour even gets off the ground.
