• Woman Fired for Reporting Offensive Jokes Men Made at Tech Conference

  March 22, 2013 at 11:19pm

  In reply to ElChele.

  As I began to read the article, I thought to myself, “She must be black”. Sure enough as I scrolled down, there she was!
  I immediately thought this because I’ve seen this same scenario at every place I’ve ever worked (I’m in the IT field). What you have here is an affirmative action employee who is more often than not – a substandard employee who can’t pull her weight in the office. Because her knowledge and work ethic is substandard, she knows the only way to keep her job is to seek out the first “gender or ethnic” violation she can manufacture and report it to HR. This gives her power! She can’t be fired now tht she has reported an HR violation. She becomes untouchable. From that point on, her work becomes even more substandard. She shows up to work whenever she wants and leaves whenever she wants. If she doesn’t get a raise, she informs her boss that she will file a racial complaint with the Dept of labor or the NAACP. Essentially, she (and tens of thousands just like her) use political correctness to extort the company she works for.
  Look folks, I’m not making this stuff up. I’ve seen this happen wit almost every company I’ve ever worked for. I’ve even been told by several executives that this is one reason why they will not hire minorities. Not because they are a minority in itself, but because an extensive background check often reveals a history of this type of “extortion”.

• Formerly Bi-Sexual Singer Stuns Audience With Alleged Anti-Gay Rant: ‘God Hates Fa***ts’

  I live in Winston Salem NC and you may have read about the Green St Methodist Church (Yeah – we’re SO proud)…
  http://www.wbtv.com/story/21673372/nc-church-no-marriages-until-state-recognizes-gay-marriage
  The Green St Methodist Church has just announced it will no longer perform [straight] marriages until the state makes gay marriage legal. It’s my understanding from a friend that half the congregation said, “See ya”…
  I will be curious to see if the Methodist UMC will excommunicate these heretics (The Methodist Church DOES NOT recognize or endorse gay marriage). While I am Methodist, I do not (nor will I ever now) attend the Green St Church. I’m very curious to see if this church will go under now. On one hand, I am saddened that another church may go down the tubes but on the other hand it will not break my heart to see the door shut.
  I simply cannot see how a supposedly God fearing pastor can advocate gay marriage when the bible clearly states that homosexual behavior is an abomination. This pastor has turned his back on the bible’s teaching in favor of his own “feelings” towards gays.
  Look, I have no issue with a civil union. As a matter of fact, my next door neighbors are two guys that have been together for longer than I’ve lived here (over a decade) and they are great.
  What I do have an issue with is these narcissistic heretics that try and force gay marriage in clear violation with Christian law! Civil union fine, Marriage recognized by church? HELL

• Texas Teen Suing School District After She Was Punished for Not Reciting Mexican National Anthem in Class

  March 1, 2013 at 5:24am

  In reply to zoro51.

  I grew up in Mcallen, Tx and attended school K-12 there. I graduated in 195 from Mac High. I can tell you first hand that even back then, 90 + % of the teachers were not only hispanic, but most spoke with HEAVY mexican accents! Most of the teachers spoke to each other in spanish… WTF?????
  MANY students that attended school there were Mexican nationals and illegals, all of which received free breakfast and lunch.
  The teachers were VERY racist… Reverse racist mind you. They absolutely favored the Mexican students and often ignored us 5% white kids. That’s right! I was the minority.
  It infuriated me on a daily basis that I had to be taught by teachers that had accents so heavy, an American not familiar with spanish would have a very difficult time understanding them.
  As for this student, I have no doubt what-so-ever that she was ostracized for not reciting the Mexican national anthem. If you’re “Not with the program” (the mexican one) that is, then you’re in a pickle!
  When I graduated HS, I joined the Coat Guard the next day and got the hell out of that town.
  I can tell you that McAllen and all the other surrounding border town are NOT the United States like you know it. It is Mexico through and through. It is absolutely PATHETIC!!!
  Oh yeah, BTW McAllen is listed as the Heaviest town in the USA. You’ve never seen so many fat and morbidly obese people in all your life! It’s like the worlds largest fat camp of 100K super fat bastards!!!!!!!!!

• Texas Man Takes on 3 Home Intruders With a Rifle — Find Out What Happened

  March 1, 2013 at 3:09am

  In reply to AuntJane.

  I absolutely applaud that parent for taking his kid over to apologize! I’m actually somewhat astonished (but very pleased) that the parent cared enough about his kids to do that.
  By his actions, I believe that this parent is PISSED at his kid but also extremely happy that his kid was not shot dead over the incident. In Texas, the homeowner has every right to shoot a burglar DEAD!

  Over-all, the final outcome of this situation is a good one. No one was killed and at least one parent cares (and most likely embarrassed) over what his delinquent son did. I’m willing to bet that this kid NEVER does anything like this ever again… Or at least as long as he lives under the same roof.
  Many kudos to the home owner for doing a magnificent job!!!

• Maxine Waters Warns 170 MILLION Jobs Could Be Lost Due to Sequestration Cuts — But There’s a Huge Problem With Her Estimate

  Well, if Obama wasn’t president – then I’ll bet that 170 million people would be employed in the USA!

• Rahm Emanuel Urges Major Banks to Stop Serving Gun Makers Unless They Support ‘Common Sense’ Gun Control

  January 25, 2013 at 7:24pm

  In reply to Disgusted_in_CT.

  Here’s an idea. An enterprising bank would most likely do very well if they dedicated themselves to serving Gun manufacturing related businesses. With the gun business bringing in Billions of dollars, I think this would be a great opportunity.
  Also, gun manufacturers should do everything they possibly could to withhold paying taxes to an oppresive government.

• Nation’s Biggest Sports and Outdoor Show Postponed Indefinitely Following Massive Boycott Over New Policy Banning Semi-Automatic Rifles

  In reply to greenroughneck.

  @Freedomlover…
  I tend NOT to argue with fools but I just can’t resist. First off, yes we do recognize your childish need for behaviour .
  I could go into an entire list about why your trolling post is wrong but one thing stuck out when I saw your name… FreedomLover. Yes, I’m sure you do love your freedom. However, it’s quite apparent by your vapid post that you have no idea what it takes to maintain that freedom *OR* recognize the sacrafices made by Americans that allow you to so freely abuse the freedom that you inherited. Yes, inherited! You’ve NEVER had to earn your freedom and like a spoiled little child, you cry and pout when you can’t have your way. Well guess what troll, this isn’t Burger King and you can’t have it your way! People like me will never allow people like you defecate on the constitution. Now, get off the computer and ask your mother (nicely) to make you a sandwich. Oh, and tell her we all said hello!

• Houston Waiter Speaks Out: I Refused a Customer Service Because he Insulted 5-Year-Old With Down Syndrome

  In reply to wowjustwow.

  Awwww, LID.SMOKER needs some mommy attention…

  WOWJUSTWOW, Programs for special needs children don’t fall under Socialism exclusively. On the contrary, a state run program is generally MUCH more efficient on not only costs, but the over-all effectiveness of the program itself. The states have had programs for this kind of situation for a very long time.There are huge differences between a state run and federally run program. The state run programs benefit the special needs child where-as the federally run programs benefit ITSELF. All federal agencies are mostly self serving entities with their main focus being self preservation and internal growth. This would be analogous to a school. You have Principal and teachers like you have a fed and states, A federally run program wold be much like a principal trying to each every child in the building. It could work but only with diasterous results (like we see today). We all know that the students are best served by their individual teachers instead.
  ‘nuff said… BTW, if socialism is your panacea – then perhaps Canada or England would better serve you. I encourage you to go there and reap all the benefits socialism has to offer… Like much higher taxes and year long waits for surgery desperately needed. Go on – Get!

• ‘Laughable’: We Asked Experts (Including a Former CIA Officer) to Weigh in on Rev. Jackson’s Claim That ‘Assault Weapons’ Can ‘Shoot Down Planes’

  In reply to yoshik.

  Actually, I’m curious why the government hasn’t banned birds at this point which have accounted for the deaths of thousands of innocent people. The evil birds must be dealt with immediately with a Federal ban on all birds!
