• ‘We Believe in Free Enterprise’: See Excerpts from George W. Bush’s Rare Public Speech

  April 10, 2012 at 5:43pm

  Anyone remember the feeding frenzy this man went through for his 8 years in office? I remember seeing him speak, and then listening to the talking heads go on and on. When i listened i heard an earnest man, one i disagreed with often, but he was genuine. Substance.. Ive been wondering for years now what’s missing from our current president. It’s substance. There is no there there. He’s a ghost. When President Bush (or jeez, just about any president in my memory) spoke you knew he was telling the country what he thought. The current president is reading a script, playing the part of the president. Can’t say what he truly believes because the majority would find it abhorrent. And call me what ever youd like, I don’t care. He has no substance. Watching this video, more than any Ive seen lately … made me kinda sad.

  MADMADDER, substitute he for you in my posting and it stands!! Somehow it makes it worse, your not even black your DWL. Wish I had read your posting a little more slowly and not angered quite so quickly. Not even worth the time it took to type, just another white guy that’s been convinced of his own superiority due to his ability to truly understand the hardships faced by modern african american men living in these United States of America.

  MADMADDER, See this is what drives me nuts. You equate the danger presented by a large percentage of young men the same color as you with racism. Honestly? They whispered about you? However did you survive? Missing were the stories about how folks chased you onto your porch when you were young and set fire to you because of your race. Or how about when they all surrounded you shouting racial slurs, beating you and forcing you to strip so they could steal your clothes? Oh I know, how about when they car jacked you and held you hostage for hours on end, raping, degrading, VIOLATING and then eventually disposed of you like yesterdays rubbish. Sick of the excuses, sick of the whining about how badly blacks are treated and sick of being used. You wander into the wrong neighborhood and have to worry about folks (brace yourself) watching you… Oh my, however do you cope? And you know why you get pulled over more than I do? Because that sheriff that pulled you over has 12 incidents sitting on his desk, 9 of them were perpetrated by someone that looks like you. If he found drugs in 20 cars this month and 19 of them were driven by black men guess what? He’s gonna pull over more black men. Stop making the lame excuses. Stop equating violence, crime and real racial animosity with people that would just like to be left alone. That song no longer plays here and we no longer tolerate the bigotry of low expectations.

  @LIb Teach.. Oh, I see. So the “youths” involved in the polar bear hunting weren’t black they were poor? And the facts don’t back up your claim. There are more poor white Americans than black, yet the overwhelming percentage of violent crime is committed by those in the black community.
  Fact: 16.2 Million white Americans living in poverty
  Fact: 9.2 Million Blacks living in poverty
  In 2010 the FBI reports that of the offenders arrested for Murder, 4261 were white and 4209 were black. Keep in mind that number for whites includes hispanics of which there are at least an additional 9.4 million living in poverty.
  What you feel, or believe about crime matters not. The truth is not some feeling or interpretation that fits your narrative. Poor white Americans do not kill, rape or steal at the same rate blacks do.

  Funny isn’t it? I think these groups will stand up. They believe in something. As wrong as I think the are, they at least believe in something. The majority of the general population do not. White separatist are standing up as well. Its very sad, but I think lots of white folks no longer feel like the Government is representing them. Ive been paging through some of the more well written blogs of the separatist, stuffblackpeopledontlike.blogspot.com in particular has some well written articles. Some of it is pure hate. Comment sections are amazing places, ranges from the absolute insane to well reasoned.

  Mr. Shoep’s comments to the Miami New Times about “not advocating any type of violence”, seem to contradict the tone he takes on the NSM’s website

  As citizens and neighbors dissolve along Racial lines, the possibility of further Racial violence in the Melting Pot is brimming over like a powder keg ready to explode into the streets. The National Socialist Movement for many years has publicly called for Racial separation, the melting pot of forced integration in America is a massive failure, and this is just one more example of a Racial issue about to explode!

  I‘m not sure where in this posting he’s calling for violence? Not defending this particular group, but it’s a symptom of our own version of newspeak. If your going to point out violent blacks you must find someone on the white side that’s equally violent so as not to appear racist. Call them nuts for the Nazi crap but equating the bounty offered by the Black Kitty Party and this statement is a very PC stretch.

  Argh!!! Liberal teacher that is the bloody problem!! Yes, all of the things listed can be a bit dangerous on there own. But the numbers don’t lie. Insert black people into the equation and every single situation becomes more dangerous..

  10a) Avoid concentrations of people not all known to you personally.

  (10b) Stay out of neighborhoods you don’t know.

  If it‘s an all white neighborhood it’s safer than an all black one. Fact

  (10c) If planning a trip to a beach or amusement park at some date, find out whether it is likely to be swamped with people on that date.

  Dont remember the last beat whitey night or polar bear hunting party arranged by white folks was..

  (10d) Do not attend events likely to draw a lot of angry people.

  OK, but if it’s a large group of black folks you can pretty much assume ahead of time they are angry about something

  (10e) If you are at some public event at which the number of people suddenly swells, leave as quickly as possible.

  See polar bear hunting above

  (10g) Before voting for a politician scrutinize his/her character carefully.

  On this one we agree

  (10h) Do not act the Good Samaritan to people in apparent distress, e.g., on the highway. Call the police or non-emergency number and let them handle it.

  No. This is truly the liberal way. Were American’s. We don’t rely on the governement to help change a tire, we can do it ourselves

  Gonzo, I get that I really do. It’s important to get this man out of office. My personal feeling is we’ve made everything about politics. The prog establishment has designed a pretty formidable system. Repubs and Dems alike. My question would be, if we can’t discuss factual things like adults for fear of offending does it really matter if the man in the Oval Office has a D or an R next to his name?
