In
Memory Of...Who?

As
the nation morns the loss of the First Lady of the Civil Rights Movement,
Coretta Scott King, members of the liberal establishment didn't waste any time
promoting their hysterical rhetoric in the most distasteful fashion--by
attacking President Bush, instead of using their allotted time to honor
the life of one of the most influential figures of our time. I
can't recall a time where I was more angry then when I heard Jimmy Carter (out
of ALL people) utter the filth out of his mouth, "We only have to recall
the color of the faces of those in Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi who are
most devastated by Katrina to know that there are not yet equal opportunities
for all Americans."
What
a load of GARBAGE.
First
of all, it was discovered that more whites in New Orleans died
as a result of the Hurricane Katrina disaster than blacks. Furthermore,
the shortcomings of the relief process falls SQUARELY in the hands of (Louisiana
Governor) Kahtleen Blanco. That issue aside, the very last
venue that Jimmy Carter should have brought that issue up was during the FUNERAL
of Coretta Scott King. Her legacy--her LIFE--had nothing to do with the
response, be that slow, fast, or indifferent, of the government to the Hurricane
Katrina disaster. To say it was in poor taste for Mr. Carter to use his
time, which should have been spent reflecting on the wonderful
life of Corretta Scott King, to rather attack President George W. Bush because
he was in attendence, is a tremendous understatement. It might have been
even more amazing for us to have even expected for Jimmy Carter to say any more
than he said. Since Mr. Carter felt that it was appropriate to
attach Bush during the funeral of someone who had no connection to Bush
whatsoever, let's explore Jimmy Carter's "legacy"...
Jimmy
Carter was arguably the WORST president this nation has ever known.
Without going into much detail about his presidency, I'll stick to some factoids
about his governorship of the state of Georgia. Campaigning for governor
as a self-proclaimed "redneck", he stated back then that he was
"proud" to have arch-segregationist Lester Maddox as his Lieutenant
Governor in 1970--yes the same Lester Maddox who REFUSED to attend Martin Luther
King Jr.'s (Corretta's husband) funeral in 1968. However, according to
Jimmy Carter, President Bush is a racist, and it was confirmed by the way HE
responded to Hurricane Katrina. Now why wasn't Kathleen Blanco labeled a
racist? Yeah, that's right, she's a Democrat--she is totally exempt from
that description, because she cares about black people--just like
anyone else with a "D" behind their name.
l
wish someone would redefine "care" to me, because I don't believe
that:
1.
Using someone ELSE'S money to pay for LOSER-BASED programs, that do NOTHING but
ENSURE the present state of the benefactor in exchange for their vote is NOT
care.
2.
NOT addressing the obvious problems in a city plagued by a piss-poor work ethic,
infested with drugs, carjackings, thefts, and murders that far exceed the
national average is what I consider "care".
I
think that honest communication and actual RELEVANT solutions are prime
indicators of caring about a particular race or group of people. Black
Americans have been lied to for long enough, and it is usually at the hands of
the very ones who they think "care" about them the most.
Loser-based vote-buying programs are failures, and it is proven by the very fact
that most successful people who were benefactors of these programs weren't
successful until AFTER they were off these programs. These programs are
DESIGNED to keep people in their present state of need, so they can continue to
vote the same way. What New Orleans should have taught us is the result of
a constant implementation of liberal dogma for decades. In short,
liberalism doesn't work because it is the very ideology that causes and ENSURES
the very problems that liberals claim only their policies can fix.
It
was totally disgusting behavior on display from Joseph Lowery and Jimmy Carter,
especially to use the event of a funeral for a great icon of this nation's
history to take "stabs" at the current sitting President of the United
States. Last I've checked, funerals are SUPPOSED to be about the life of
the recently deceased. There are TONS of forums that can be created to
take issue with President Bush's decisions or policies, but the funeral of
Coretta Scott King was NOT the place to do that. What is blatantly obvious
to those people, as well as those who share the same warped view is that they
couldn't gather nearly enough people who are of the same warped mindset to
participate in such a forum. Not only aren't they enough people that share
the views, there aren't enough people who are as interested in solely discussing
such issues. These type of people can only be reached in churches and
clubs for the most part, and since the clubs might be too dangerous for their
liking, then they will meet these people at the church to preach their filth.
As
bad as spreading the useless liberal message in black churches is, it's only a
fraction as bad as degrading a sitting President at the funeral of anyone ELSE.
It is a slap in the face to the family members of the fallen, and it is a insult
of the intelligence of the people they were trying to reach with such a message.
Politics aside, funerals are NOT the place to try to get votes for political
offices, or to push a political agenda. I would rather these liberals go
back to the business of buying votes with their loser-based programs.
Therefore we can utilize funerals for what they are designed for--to HONOR the
life of the recently deceased. I apologize Mrs. King for them, because
they will never do so themselves. Your memory deserved much more than a
side-tracked mind, or a changed subject.
