Look at my fellow conservatives! There they go, glumly shuffling  along,
depressed by the election aftermath. Not me. I’m virtually euphoric.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not thrilled with America’s flirtation with neo  socialism. But there’s a massive silver lining in those magical clouds that  lofted Barak Obama to the Presidency.

For today, without a shred of  intellectually legitimate opposition, I can
loudly proclaim to America: The  Era of White Guilt is over.

This seemingly impossible event  occurred because the vast majority of white Americans didn’t give a fluff  about skin color, and enthusiastically pulled the voting lever for a black  man. Not just any black man. A very liberal black man who spent his early  career race-hustling banks, praying in a racist church for 20 years, and  actively worked with America-hating domestic terrorists.
Wow! Some resume! Yet  they made Barak Obama their leader.

Therefore, as of Nov 4 th, 2008,  white guilt is dead.

For over a century, the millstone of white  guilt hung around our necks,
retribution for slave-owning predecessors. In the  60s, American liberals
began yanking that millstone while sticking a fork in  the eye of black Americans, exacerbating the racial divide to extort a  socialist solution. But if a black man can become President, exactly what  significant barrier is left?

The election of Barak Obama absolutely  destroys the entire validation of
liberal white guilt. The dragon is hereby  slain.

So today, I’m feeling a little “uppity,” if you will.  From this day forward, my tolerance level for having my skin color hustled is  now exactly ZERO.

And it’s time to clean house. No more Reverend  Wright’s “God Damn America,” Al Sharpton’s Church of Perpetual Victimization,  or Jesse Jackson’s rainbow racism. Cornell West? You’re a fraud. Go home. All  those “black studies” programs that taught kids to hate whitey? You must now  thank Whitey. And I want that on the final.

Congressional Black  Caucus? Irrelevant. Maxine Waters? Shut up. ACORN?
Outlawed. Black Panthers?  Go home and pet your kitty. Black separatists?
Find another nation that offers  better dreams. Go ahead. I’m waiting.

Gangsta rappers? Start  praising America. Begin with the Pledge of
Allegiance. And please, no more  ebonics. Speak English, and who knows
where you might end up? Oh, yeah, pull up  your pants. Your underwear is showing. You look stupid.

To those  Eurosnots who forged entire careers hating America? I’m still
waiting for the  first black French President. And let me offer an equal
opportunity whupping.  I’ve always despised lazy white people. Now, I can
talk smack about lazy black  people.

You’re poor because you quit school, did drugs, had three kids  with three
different fathers, and refuse to work. So when you plop your Colt 45-swilling, Oprah watchin’ butt on the couch and complain “Da Man is keepin’  me down,” allow me to inform you: Da Man is now black. You have no  excuses.  No more quotas. No more handouts. No more stealing my money  because someone’s great-great-great-great grandparents suffered actual pain  and misery at the hands of people I have no relation to, and personally  revile.

It’s time to toss that massive, obsolete race-hustle  machine upon the heap of the other stupid 60s ideas. Drag it over there, by  wife swapping, next to dope-smoking. Plenty of room right between free love  and cop-killing. Careful, don’t trip on streaking. There ya go, don’t be  gentle. Just dump it. Wash your hands. It’s filthy.

In fact,  Obama’s ascension created a gargantuan irony. How can you sell
class envy and  American unfairness when you and your black wife went to Ivy League schools,  got high-paying jobs, became millionaires, bought a
mansion, and got elected  President? How unfair is that???

Now, Like a delicious O’Henry tale,  Obama’s spread-the-wealth campaign
rendered itself moot by it’s own victory!  America is officially a meritocracy. Obama’s election has validated American  conservatism!

So, listen carefully Wham!!! That’s the sound of  my foot kicking the door
shut on the era of white guilt. The rites have been  muttered, the carcass
lowered, dirt shoveled, and tombstone erected. White  guilt is dead and
buried.

However, despite my glee, there’s  apparently one small, rabid bastion of
American racism remaining. Black  Americans voted 96% for Barak Obama.
Hmmm. In a color-blind world, shouldn’t  that be 50-50?

Tonight, every black person should ask forgiveness for  their apparent racism and prejudice towards white people. Maybe it’s time to  start spreading the guilt around.

Nevada state authorities seized records and computers Tuesday from the Las Vegas office of an organization that tries to get low-income people registered to vote, after fielding complaints of voter fraud.

Bob Walsh, spokesman for the Nevada secretary of state’s office, told FOXNews.com the raid was prompted by ongoing complaints about “erroneous” registration information being submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, also called ACORN.

The group was submitting the information through a voter sign-up drive known as Project Vote.

“Some of them used nonexistent names, some of them used false addresses and some of them were duplicates of previously filed applications,” Walsh said, describing the complaints, which largely came from the registrar in Clark County, Nev.

Secretary of State Ross Miller said the fraudulent registrations included  forms for the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys football team.

“Tony Romo is not registered to vote in the state of Nevada, and anybody trying to pose as Terrell Owens won’t be able to cast a ballot on Nov. 4,” Miller said.

Walsh said agents from both the secretary of state’s office and Nevada attorney general’s office conducted the raid at 9:30 a.m. local time, and “took a bunch of stuff.” Miller’s office reported seizing eight computer hard drives and about 20 boxes of documents.

Bertha Lewis, interim chief organizer for ACORN, released a statement saying the group has for months been turning over any suspicious registration information to elections officials. She said those officials routinely ignored their tips, and called the raid a “stunt.”

“When we have identified suspicious applications, we have separated them out and flagged them for election officials. We have zero tolerance for fraudulent registrations. We immediately dismiss employees we suspect of submitting fraudulent registrations,” she said. “Today’s raid by the secretary of state’s office is a stunt that serves no useful purpose other than discredit our work registering Nevadans and distracting us from the important work ahead of getting every eligible voter to the polls.”

Neither the group, which hires canvassers to register voters, nor any employees have been charged or arrested for fraud or other crimes, said Miller, a Democrat.

But it’s not the first time ACORN’s been under investigation for registration irregularities. The raid is the latest of at least nine investigations into possible fraudulent voter registration forms submitted by ACORN — the probes have involved ACORN workers in Wisconsin, New Mexico, Indiana and other states.

In response to the Las Vegas raid, Republican Nevada Sen. John Ensign and seven other senators penned a letter to the Federal Housing Finance Agency calling for the suspension of taxpayer dollars to “controversial groups like ACORN.” The letter referred to contributions that potentially could come from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008.

In 2006, ACORN also committed what Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed called the “worse case of election fraud” in the state’s history.

In the case, ACORN submitted just over 1,800 new voter registration forms, and all but six of the 1,800 names were fake.

More recently, 27,000 registrations handled by the group from January to July 2008 “went into limbo because they were incomplete, inaccurate, or fraudulent,” said James Terry, chief public advocate at the Consumers Rights League.

FOX News’ Eric Shawn, Judson Berger and Cristina Corbin and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Franklin Raines was a Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Fannie Mae.  Raines was forced to retire from his position with Fannie Mae  when auditing discovered severe irregularities in Fannie Mae’s accounting activities. At the time of his departure The Wall Street Journal noted, ” Raines, who long defended the company’s accounting despite mounting evidence that it wasn’t proper, issued a statement late Tuesday conceding that “mistakes were made” and saying he would assume responsibility as he had earlier promised. News reports indicate the company was under growing pressure from regulators to shake up its management in the wake of findings that the company’s books ran afoul of generally accepted accounting principles for four years.”  Fannie Mae had to reduce its surplus by $9 billion.   Raines left with a “golden parachute valued at $240 Million in benefits. The Government filed suit against Raines when the depth of the accounting scandal became clear.

http://housingdoom.com/2006/12/18/fannie-charges/ . The Government noted, “The 101 charges reveal how the individuals improperly manipulated earnings to maximize their bonuses, while knowingly neglecting accounting systems and internal controls, misapplying over twenty accounting principles and misleading the regulator and the public. The Notice explains how they submitted six years of misleading and inaccurate accounting statements and inaccurate capital reports that enabled them to grow Fannie Mae in an unsafe and unsound manner.”  These charges were made in 2006.  The Court ordered Raines to return $50 Million Dollars he received in bonuses based on the miss-stated Fannie Mae profits.

Tim Howard was the Chief Financial Officer of Fannie Mae. Howard “was a strong internal proponent of using accounting strategies that would ensure a “stable pattern of earnings” at Fannie. In everyday English - he was cooking the books.  The Government Investigation determined that, “Chief Financial Officer, Tim Howard, failed to provide adequate oversight to key control and reporting functions within Fannie Mae.”

On June 16, 2006, Rep. Richard Baker, R-La., asked the Justice Department to investigate his allegations that two former Fannie Mae executives lied to Congress in October 2004 when they denied manipulating the mortgage-finance giant’s income statement to achieve management pay bonuses. Investigations by federal regulators and the company’s board of directors since concluded that management did manipulate 1998 earnings to trigger bonuses. Raines and Howard resigned under pressure in late 2004.   Howard’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $20 Million!

Jim Johnson -   A former executive at Lehman Brothers and who was later forced from his position as Fannie Mae CEO.   A look at the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight’s May 2006 report on mismanagement and corruption inside Fannie Mae, and you’ll see some interesting things about Johnson. Investigators found that Fannie Mae had hidden a substantial amount of Johnson’s 1998 compensation from the public, reporting that it was between $6 million and $7 million when it fact it was $21 million.”   Johnson is currently under investigation for taking illegal loans from Countrywide while serving as CEO of Fannie Mae.  Johnson’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $28 Million.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

FRANKLIN RAINES? Raines works for the Obama Campaign as Chief Economic Advisor

TIM HOWARD?  Howard is also a Chief Economic Advisor to Obama

JIM JOHNSON?  Johnson hired as a Senior Obama Finance Advisor and was selected to run Obama’s Vice Presidential Search Committee

IF OBAMA PLANS ON CLEANING UP THE MESS - HIS ADVISORS HAVE THE EXPERTISE - THEY MADE THE MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE.   Would you trust the men who tore Wall Street down to build the New Wall Street ?

“I am disappointed that the Administration has not used its existing powers to assist the financial community in dealing more effectively with our national economic crisis,” Cochran said. “Even though I voted against the bailout proposal before the Senate, I will work with the Administration to expedite the development of an acceptable and workable plan for recovery.”

editor’s note:  I can’t either confirm or deny these are the facts right now but found them interesting.

Body count. In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago, 221 killed in Iraq.

Sens. Barack Obama & Dick Durbin,
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.,
Gov. Rod Blogojevich,
House leader Mike Madigan,
Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike),
Mayor Richard M. Daley (son of former Mayor Richard J. Daley)…..the leadership in Illinois…..all Democrats.
Chicago is a combat zone. Of course they’re all blaming each other. Can’t blame Republicans, there aren’t any!
State pension fund $44 Billion in debt, worst in country. Cook County(Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. (Look’em up if you want).Chicago school system one of the worst in country. This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois and he’s gonna ‘fix’ Washington politics?

It appears the talking idiots are at it again.  Now really was Jesus a community organizer?  Jesus was not because His kingdom was not of this world, according to him.

Now, let’s take a look at other community organizers.  The first one in history would be Lucifer.  He tried to organize his minions to overthrow the throne of God.  Thankfully, he failed miserably.  Others?  Of course we could always talk about Stalin, Hitler, et al.  I’m sure there were some good ones though but to call Jesus a community organizer is totally ludicrous.  That said, I’d call Barack Hussein Obama a community organizer in the mode of those named above.  He thinks he’s some type of Messiah but the boy is so totally wrong.

Wow is about all I can say.  My son was then two years old and was at my mother in law’s house. I wanted to rush and get him and hold him.  It seems like eons ago in some ways but only like yesterday as well.

Will this war on terrorism ever end?  Who knows but we MUST NEVER forget what happened on the day that changed our lives.

What did it change for you?

For me, it forever cemented the way I feel about radical Saudi Muslims.  Like the saying goes, “everything I ever wanted to know about Muslims, I learned on September 11, 2002.”

For me, I think that says it all.  Feel free to disagree if you like.
