President Barack Obama Has Made Me Very Happy Today.....No Really!!!

Robert Gibbs insinuated today that President Obama will reverse a provision in the omnibus spending bill to terminate school vouchers for underprivileged students in Washington, D.C.. The program allows about 1,700 mostly low-income and minority students to attend private schools as an alterative to the struggling D.C. public school system. When asked if President Obama plans to restore the program’s funding in his full budget, which is currently being drafted, Gibbs said, “whether it's in the budget or in the -- the appropriations process,” the administration will work to make sure “that disruption doesn't take place.”

I'm am elated that I finally have a "warm and fuzzy" feeling towards PSBO (ok, well that was an exaggeration). I think it's great that he reversed that decision! Yeah, PSBO. For today you are a BarackStar!

Right Klik: Questions for My Liberal Friends

Right Klik has a few questions for his liberal friends which I would also like to have an answered by my liberal friends. I commented on Right Klik's blog that I doubted that there are any rational liberal minds anywhere that can provide answers to these questions without hurling insults or deflecting. Prove me wrong....

Here are Right Klik's questions:

Liberals asked Americans to hand the keys of government over to the Democrats in order to end the "Culture of Corruption." In light of the recent antics of Rod Blagojevich, William "Cold Cash" Jefferson, Charlie Rangel and other luminaries, what are liberals saying about the culture of corruption now?
Liberals do not seem to be bothered by Obama's associations with the likes of Tony Rezko, Rod Bagojevich, William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, and Rhashid Khalidi. Why not?
Most Americans (70% of Republicans, 62% of independents and 55% of Democrats) oppose the auto industry bailout plan, yet Democrats in Congress are poised to pass a bailout bill anyway. Why?
How high will the price of gasoline have to go before you are ready to support drilling in ANWR?
What kind of economy would be best for America? A. Socialist? B. Communist? C. Fascist? D. Capitalist?
Obama has stated that he is in favor of tax increases (for reasons of "fairness") even when they result in DECREASES in revenue for the government. Do you support Obama's thinking on this issue?
Obama has outlined a intentionally vague health care agenda. His health care czar, Tom Daschle wants to push a bare-bones health care bill through congress as soon as possible after Obama is elected. A Federal Health Board would be charged with establishing the system's framework and filling in most of the details. This independent board would be insulated from political pressure. Does this in any way strike you as undemocratic?
Liberals have consistently opposed voter identification laws aimed at reducing voter fraud. Why?
Many Americans (particularly minorities) say that their children are trapped in failing schools. Nationwide, 52 percent of parents, and 59 percent of public school parents, support school choice. 87 percent of black parents aged 26-35 and 66.4 percent of blacks aged 18-25 support vouchers. Liberals consistently oppose school choice. Why?
Obama was asked, "At what point does a baby get human rights?" His response: "...answering that question with specificity, you know, is above my pay grade." Based on his leadership in opposition to the Illinois Born Alive Infants Protection Act, Obama has demonstrated that he believes that a baby gets human rights at an unspecified time AFTER he or she is born. My question to liberals: is infanticide acceptable?
Is there anything Obama could do to lose your support? If so, what?

Here is the reason that I have such little faith in the "rational" liberal mind. Yesterday, I participated in a thread on bookerrising.net with 4 or 5 extremely intelligent liberals and 2 other conservatives(of course they were intelligent-- they're conservatives, duh) . The comments by the cons were thorough and substantive. The responses of the libs while one or two honestly engaged in fair exchange of ideas and offered true insight most of the comments were witty but nasty, rude, cutting and the final comment was crude. So I have little faith that anyone who describes themselves as a liberal thinker is capable of communicating without launching a full on verbal assault-- there must be gunpowder in the kool-aid.

About

Don't let the title of this blog deceive you. Yes, I'm a Conservative Black Woman -- Not to be confused with Republican Black Woman. At this point I am in fact a Political Atheist. I believe with every fiber of my being that America is no longer a Constitutional Republic but rather a Corporate Fascist Oligarchy. Our Presidents are just the puppets, tools, spokespersons for the Powers that Be...Council of Foreign Relations and various other NGO's who are beholden to the International Banking Cabal. No, I'm not a Conspiracy Theorist -- I am a Conspiracy Researcher and I'd advise you to do the same. Who said "I would not have you ignorant?" Yes, that's my "handler" for all of those who think I have one. Over the course of writing this blog. My paradigm has shifted ENTIRELY. Yes, the paragraph below still applies but the Left\Right, Democrat\Republican head fake no longer applies to me. I WOKE UP!!!!

"I am fed up with what has happening within the black community. Too many of our families are broken, too many of us are morally degenerate and too many of us are willing to blame all of our pathology on slavery, George Bush, the Republican party or anything but our failures as Parents, Husbands, Wives and Christians."

My Favorite Quotations.....

Truth is scarcely found. But integrity and truth are hardly found within the Black population as a whole at least not where it involves black people. Most blacks have pledged allegiance to their blackness, not truth, not to America, not even to God as many profess. Integrity and truth has to go out the window if it somehow poses a threat to the "positive" image of blackness. ~Anonymous

Regarding Obama's hit on Gadhafi's family: "He's spineless and shameless, except when his masters unleash him on people of color. Then he becomes a pit bull--a real life Sambo/Quimbo doing the dirty work of Simon Legree. TPTB knew exactly what they were doing when they "selected" Obama to manage their psychopathocracy." ~ Makheru Bradley

"Whenever I hear cats start talking that "community" shit I know they are not serious. No one is accountable in conversations about "da community". That "we as a people"... Plantation Negro segmentation nonsense is Kool-Aid left over from the 70's. It perpetuates the illusion that there is even such a thing as a "black community". There aint no "community" and hasn't been in 40 years. Most Negros don't even know their neighbors."The only effective group is FAMILY. Families are the cells of a society. Destruction of the cell is cancer. An effective institution, expectation and habit of marriage is the antidote." ~Denmark Vesey(A Bloggin' Beast!!!!)

The irony of having an economic system that you hate be the source of your entitlement that is in excess of your productive capacity. -- Constructive Feedback (Blogger Extraordinaire)

Most people can't think, most of the remainder won't think, the small fraction who do think mostly can't do it very well. The extremely tiny fraction who think regularly, accurately, creatively, and without self-delusion – in the long run, these are the only people who count. -Robert A. Heinlein

Illumination of the above Frederick Douglass quote by blogger extraordinaire Constructive Feedback

With all due respect to this great I am not sure that he could have imagined the day where:

"Non-justice" is delivered by the hands of favorable officials with racial diversity that realize "Black on Black violence" is not seen as "violent" as other modalities
Where allowing "ignorance to prevail" is a favorable strategy for the retention of power by those who position themselves as saviors
Where "conspiracy theories" are effective tools to allow people to remain unified against an external threat - even when it has moved away and they are all by themselves - otherwise having to manage the human resources before them toward a more conscious end.

In this environment - Robbery, the oppression of intimidation, and degradation put in the form of a music genre lead to an inevitable condition of insecurity for persons and property.
