Black people must leave, NJ Walmart announcer says

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) – An announcement at a Walmart store in New Jersey ordering black people to leave brought chagrin and apologies Wednesday from leaders of the company, which has built a fragile trust among minority communities.

A male voice came over the public-address system Sunday evening at a store in Washington Township in southern New Jersey and calmly announced: “Attention Walmart customers: All black people leave the store now.”

Shoppers in the store at the time said a manager quickly got on the public address system and apologized for the remark. And while it wasn’t clear whether a rogue patron or an employee was responsible for the comment, many customers expressed their anger to store management.

“I want to know why such statements are being made, because it flies in the face of what we teach our children about tolerance for all,” said Sheila Ellington, of Monroe. She and her friend, Patricia Covington, were in the store at the time and have said they now plan to boycott the retailer.

Black people must leave, NJ Walmart announcer says

The first thing I want to say is this, I have never worked for Walmart. I have no known friends or relatives that work for Walmart and I have no special concern for Walmart. I shop Walmart and that’s as far as my connection to Walmart goes.

Was this a tacky, crass, stupid, shocking and very immature thing for someone to do? Sure it was, but if it wasn’t a Walmart employee that did it, why are so many people outraged at the Walmart store for this happening?

Have you ever been to a Walmart? There are in-store phones scattered about in various places, it would be impossible for Walmart to fully secure each and every phone. That’s why they have certain key codes that have to be used before an in-store announcement can be made.

Does that point to a Walmart employee as being the one that made this prank call? Sure, you have to look at that possibility. But, could it have been a former employee, perhaps a disgruntled former employee that just wanted to stir up hate and discontent? Of course, that is a strong possibility ass well.

Personally, I believe that before Je$$ie Jack$on and Al $harpton show up to lead a protest and boycott of Walmart, they need to allow Walmart to investigate the matter and see how Walmart handles this ugly situation.

If it proves to be an impossibility to ascertain exactly who it was making the call, then folks just need to go on about their business and continue to shop at Walmart, or not, and write this off to a very sick prank and a juvenile idiot making it happen!

But we all know that won’t be what happens. Law suits are likely being examined, race baiters and hustlers like Jack$on and $harpton are probably already planning their appearance, the ACLU and NAACP will most likely get involved and the only thing that will appease them will be some sort of reparations.

It seems that reparations, in one form or another, is their cure for almost anything. Whether they have actually been hurt personally, or know of a hurt party, even if that party was hurt 150 or more years ago.

Reparations make it all better.

FACT CHECK: Premiums would rise under Obama plan

WASHINGTON (AP) – Buyers, beware: President Barack Obama says his health care overhaul will lower premiums by double digits, but check the fine print.

Premiums are likely to keep going up even if the health care bill passes, experts say. If cost controls work as advertised, annual increases would level off with time. But don’t look for a rollback. Instead, the main reason premiums would be more affordable is that new government tax credits would help millions of people who can’t afford the cost now.

Listening to Obama pitch his plan, you might not realize that’s how it works.

Visiting a Cleveland suburb this week, the president described how individuals and small businesses will be able to buy coverage in a new kind of health insurance marketplace, gaining the same strength in numbers that federal employees have.

“You’ll be able to buy in, or a small business will be able to buy into this pool,” Obama said. “And that will lower rates, it’s estimated, by up to 14 to 20 percent over what you’re currently getting. That’s money out of pocket.”

And that’s not all.

FACT CHECK: Premiums would rise under Obama plan

How can you tell if Barack Hussein Obama is lying?

When the MSM, and particularly an AP writer, call him on his BS.

And I’ll bet you thought I was going to make some tacky comment about his thin, ugly, purple lips didn’t you?

Oops..

A White House press spokesman later said the president misspoke; he had meant to say annual premiums would drop by $3,000.

It could be a long wait.

“There’s no question premiums are still going to keep going up,” said Larry Levitt of the Kaiser Family Foundation, a research clearinghouse on the health care system. “There are pieces of reform that will hopefully keep them from going up as fast. But it would be miraculous if premiums actually went down relative to where they are today.”

The statistics Obama based his claims on come from two sources. In both cases, caveats got left out.

Obama misspoke? And a White House press spokesman admitted to it? He let Obama be shown in less than a glorious light?

Off with his head!

How dare he not say it was him that wrote the words, causing The One to misspeak! How dare anyone admit that The Obamessiah misspoke! Heresy I tell you!

Sheer and unabashed heresy!

It’s a known fact, the sun rises in the east and Barack Hussein Obama would never fail to tell the American people the full and honest truth, with ALL of it’s intricacies!

The Obamessiah has only love for the American people in his heart and he LIVES to serve US!

Surely this writer for the AP, Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar is a plant, a shill of the Conservatives and that Oh So Evil TEA Party. How dare he write such blasphemy?

The claim that people buying coverage individually would save 14 percent to 20 percent comes from the same budget office report, prepared in November for Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind. But the presidential sound bite fails to convey the full picture.

Hawaii considering law to ignore Obama ‘birthers’

HONOLULU (AP) – Birthers beware: Hawaii may start ignoring your repeated requests for proof that President Barack Obama was born here.

As the state continues to receive e-mails seeking Obama’s birth certificate, the state House Judiciary Committee heard a bill Tuesday permitting government officials to ignore people who won’t give up.

“Sometimes we may be dealing with a cohort of people who believe lack of evidence is evidence of a conspiracy,” said Lorrin Kim, chief of the Hawaii Department of Health’s Office of Planning, Policy and Program Development.

So-called “birthers” claim Obama is ineligible to be president because, they argue, he was actually born outside the United States, and therefore doesn’t meet a constitutional requirement for being president.

Hawaii considering law to ignore Obama ‘birthers’

There’s rarely a day that goes by that I don’t get at least one email from a reader wanting me to write on this topic. There are those that want me to do a full investigation on the legitimacy of Barack Hussein Obama and his birth records and then spill the beans for all the world to see.

Here’s the honest truth. I detest Barack Hussein Obama, I feel that he is a poser, a sham of a man, an anti-American Islamic plant, the Manchurian candidate if you will. Every fiber of my being screams out that he is everything we believe him to be, a person dead set on destroying the United States of America.

Those are MY feelings and opinions concerning one Barack Hussein Obama.

Alas, I am NOT an investigative service. I am a retired American getting by on my retirement income and I don’t have the ability to DO that full investigation, even if I wanted to. There are far too many others that have done an investigation, and so far, they have come up empty. Why should I waste my time, my meager funds and what time I have left in an effort to prove, or disprove, as the case may be, the birthplace and legitimacy of this person?

Hawaii Health Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino issued statements last year and in October 2008 saying that she’s seen vital records that prove Obama is a natural-born American citizen.

I have heard of people that claim to have seen Elvis at Wal-Mart, seen the image of Jesus in the bark of a tree, seen the Virgin Mary in the crust of a grilled cheese sandwich, those things have all been claimed, them, and many more, but, a claim doesn’t necessarily make it so.

Dr. Chiyome Fukino may very well have seen it, I don’t want to call the doctor a liar. But Dr. Fukino claiming to have seen the birth certificate isn’t going to satisfy the curiosity of the masses. I know that the claims of the good doctor don’t offer me any particular solace.

A few of these requesters continue to pepper the Health Department with the same letters seeking the same information, even after they’re told state law bars release of a certified birth certificate to anyone who does not have a tangible interest. Responding wastes time and money, Kim said.

Let’s examine that one line, anyone who does not have a tangible interest, and think about the ramifications OF that line for a moment.

Don’t ALL Americans have a tangible interest in this? Don’t we, as citizens of the United States of America, have a right to SEE the real, actual and certified birth certificate of the President of this nation?

Isn’t the President of the United States of America required, under the laws of the Constitution, to be a natural born citizen of this nation and to provide undisputed truth of such? Wouldn’t that, in and of itself, give every American citizen a tangible interest in the legitimacy of Barack Hussein Obama?

Both Fukino and the state registrar of vital statistics have verified that the Health Department holds Obama’s original birth certificate.

Wife of Justice Thomas starts political group

WASHINGTON – Into the heightened political atmosphere between the Supreme Court and the Obama administration comes now Virginia Thomas, the conservative activist and wife of Justice Clarence Thomas, who is founder of a new nonprofit lobbying and political-organizing group catering to the “citizen activists” of the “tea party” movement.

Virginia “Ginni” Thomas says Liberty Central Inc. will educate motivated citizens to “preserve freedom and reaffirm the core founding principles,” according to the group’s Web site, and will serve as a way for concerned Americans to “make a difference in the fight for liberty and against the liberal Washington agenda.”

Virginia Thomas did not return calls on Monday. But she said in an interview with a conservative blogger at a meeting of the Conservative Political Action Committee last month that she had left her job working for a small college because of her concern that the country is off-track.

“We’ve got to get the Constitution back to a place where it means something . . . or we’re headed for tyranny,” she told blogger Ed Morrissey.

Wife of Justice Thomas starts political group

It appears that Virginia Thomas is very smart Conservative, and a patriot too!

For those that don’t already know this, BLOGS are a powerful force in the political arena. Ed Morrissey is one of the best in the business.

Captain’s Quarters

Morrissey started his blog in October 2003, basing its name on his nickname “Captain” Ed. “Captain” is “just a nickname”, not a rank. It focused largely on politics, from a conservative viewpoint. The blog grew in popularity and readership. By 2007, the National Republican Senatorial Committee was calling Captains Quarters one of the five “best-read national conservative bloggers.”

People who have written “guest posts” on Captain’s Quarters include Senator John McCain, Congressman Duncan Hunter, and Senator James Inhofe. Ed Morrissey

For Ed Morrissey to be the one Mrs. Thomas talked to, well, that seals the deal, Captain Ed has hit the big time! Congratulations to you Sir!

Thomas’s group was founded in January and she promoted it at the CPAC convention. But it was not until this past weekend, after a story in the Los Angeles Times, that awareness of the new organization prompted a debate about the involvement of a justice’s spouse in a political movement.

OK, right here is where I get a bit radical about this involvement of a justice’s spouse in a political movement thing!

Why does it matter that she is the wife of a Supreme Court Justice? She doesn’t sit on the bench, Justice Thomas does. She doesn’t hear cases before the SCOTUS, Justice Thomas does. I am pretty sure that when it comes time to render a decision on any particular case, it will be the Justice that renders the decision and NOT his wife.

I am of the opinion that the MSM is fishing for a way to discredit Justice Thomas. Looking for a way to denigrate his credibility as a Justice. Doing so because of his wife, and her involvement in a political movement that is making the Dem/Libbers take notice and has them wondering what is about to have happen to them and their libber philosophy.

Further citation regarding my opinion on this matter:

It comes at a time of increased sensitivity between the White House and congressional Democrats on one side and the court’s conservative majority on the other. It started with President Obama’s unusually blunt criticism of the court during his State of the Union address, when he lambasted the court’s 5 to 4 ruling that gave corporations and unions greater leeway to use their general treasuries to buy ads for and against political candidates.
