From a column by Jonah Goldberg.
“”White Hispanic.” That’s how the New York Times, Reuters and other media outlets have opted to describe George Zimmerman, a man who would simply be Hispanic if he hadn’t shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. The term, rarely if ever used before this tragedy, is necessary in telling the Martin story in a more comfortable way.
What’s the comfortable way? It’s the way the blame for Martin’s death belongs squarely at the feet of “the system.” And “the system” is a white thing, don’t you know.”
Of course if Mr. Zimmerman is a White Hispanic than President Obama is a White African American

From a column by Walter E. Williams.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson once remarked, “There is nothing more painful for me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery — (and) then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”
We humans are not gods; therefore, we must often base our decisions on guesses and hunches. It turns out that easily observed physical characteristics, such as race, are highly interconnected with other characteristics less easily observed.
According to the Uniform Crime Report for 2009, among people 18 or younger, blacks were charged with 58 percent of murder and non-negligent manslaughter, 67 percent of robberies, 42 percent of aggravated assaults and 43 percent of auto thefts. As for murder, more than 90 percent of the time, their victims were black. These statistics, showing a strong interconnection among race, youth and crime, are a far better explanation for racial profiling and suspicion than simple racism.

For most blacks to own up to the high crime rate among blacks is a source of considerable discomfort.

“You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground.
The pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free corn.

“When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming.
When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence.

“They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side.

“The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat that free corn again.
You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom.
They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn.
They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity.”

“….that is exactly what he sees happening in America .
The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc.
While we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time.”

With a bit of editorial rearrangement, *Martin Niemöller’s famous lecture is a chillingly accurate assessment of the Obama administration.

“(First) they came for the Jews (read Catholics), and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew (read Catholic).

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out —
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

(Then) they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out —
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak ….. ”

Everyone must vote this November to stop Obama’s and his assault on our Constitution, because whatever label you’re wearing, you’re next. Make no mistake about it, Obama is Hitler reincarnated!

*Martin Niemöller (1892-1984) was an ardent nationalist and prominent Protestant pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and spent the last 7 years of Nazi rule in concentration camps.

Whats means a word? If it’s spoken through Obama’s lips you can bet it’s pure double speak!

Recently he announced more drastic cuts for the military stating he intends to make it “leaner” insinuating these draconian cuts will make it better! He wants us to believe it’s too fat and spending for the war in Iraq, now that he’s put a premature end to it (the ramifications are another subject), leaves lots of opportunity to reduce military spending. He wants us to read it that the military is going to hit the gym and become a svelte and agile force able to serve and protect our country and overseas interests in times of crisis sure to come. What he really intends leaner to mean is an emaciated military unable to serve and protect our country and overseas interests in the coming times of crisis. Up to this point he’s encouraged the “Arab Spring” that’s creating a power base for radical Islam, now he wants to make certain we’re powerless to stop the snowball.

To make matters even worse, what about the thousands of jobs dependent on direct or indirect military spending. Spending that historically has returned new technologies and many times more money back into the economy than spent!

The Heritage Foundation’s James Carafano writes that Obama’s strategy amounts to pulling “the safety net out from a global security architecture that has protected U.S. vital interests worldwide since 1945.”

Wishful thinking cannot keep our nation free and safe. It’s the duty of Congress to confront the White House and move to restore America as a leader of the free world.

In following news of fraudulent claims for losses occurring from storm Irene, published reports highlight a deeper problem within the Malloy and the Obama administrations, as well as the system as a whole. Both Malloy and Obama were elected with significant help from non-working, non-taxpaying and assistance receiving voters, who in their self-interest support individuals who continue to expand dependence on government largess. Therefore it’s no surprise those administrations show a decided lack oversight, and in Malloys’ case a false sense of outrage. Why false? The initial news reports claimed the 800 State workers who received benefits was a “significantly” higher ratio of workers vs. claimants compared to the private sector. Though no percentages were given in that report, a figure of 80 State employee claimants were initially reported as being highly suspect. In following reports it was reduced to 40, then 24 and now down to 15 apparently fraudulent claims made by “highly paid” State workers. I doubt that many more will be identified and wouldn’t be surprised if these few were further reduced. As this information is provided by the Malloy administration one can only surmise that the Governor, unable to put a lid on in altogether, is trying to whittle it down to a very few individual sacrificial lambs in order to cover the wide spread fraud the government conveniently overlooks.

By creating and expanding generous “assistance” programs to increase support for their socialist policies there’s no pressure to find and prosecute cheaters, and the cheaters know it, especially those government employees in the know! I have no doubt that frauds of this nature are rampant throughout Connecticut and the United States as a whole. The only way to put a stop to this is to elect individuals who are committed to return the system to help for the truly needy and not a remedy for a redistribution wealth that promises to completely destroy the policies which made this country great.

One final thought, why is any state worker who enjoys 35 hour work weeks, generous salaries, state cars, every “holiday” under the sun and golden retiree benefits, all which don’t apply to the average taxpayer in private employment, eligible for government assistance?

Not to my surprise Governor Malloy and the union heads have reached an agreement, however it’s one that both he and his union cronies can spin into the continuing web of deceit as to who’s bearing the load and who he’s really looking out for. Our governor could have begun a positive move towards parity with the private sector by reeling in the obscene wages and benefits our over compensated and under worked state employees enjoy. Instead he’s guaranteed that businesses and taxpayers will be hit again and even harder the following fiscal year and the next, ad nauseum, while state employees will be immune from layoffs or any real concessions.

The largest tax increase in Connecticut history coupled with the second highest cost of energy in the nation closes the door on any business crazy enough to consider expanding or locating in Connecticut. That isn’t good enough for this administration, by forcing those with over 50 employees into giving paid “sick” leave, Hartford’s planning to lock it tight.

Forcing private employers to grant each employee an additional 5 paid days off (40 hours) guarantees a total loss of 2000 hours of labor or one full time employee for every 50 people employed. Having 50 or 51 employees a company may very well choose to lay one or two off, rather than add employees to keep up the current productive hours under the overburdening costs of doing business here. Others will surely leave the state to escape the crush of big government taking all their jobs with it. Either way Connecticut will continue to lose jobs and revenue in it’s continuing decline from it’s once prosperous economy to one of the highest unemployment rates in the country and one of only 16 states still losing jobs, second only to California last month.

With government spending always on the increase the 2013 budget will demand even more tax revenue that will have to come from fewer and fewer taxpaying businesses and individuals. That is those who haven’t left for better opportunities, therefore we need to demand better from Malloy and our elected officials.
