Hillary and Sarah Christmas ornaments: a crafts project for you
Here’s something we’ll mention now, so you can keep it in mind as you holiday shop — it’s something we started doing during the leadup to the 2008 Iowa caucus that we’ve kept doing ever since, for Arts & Crafts Day here at Buzzquarters.
There’s a thrift shop down the street from us called The Brown Elephant here in Boystown, which is an AIDS charity supporting shop on Halsted that has some pretty remarkable stuff at times (we’ve gotten Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss, and vintage Armani jackets from there, for about $8 or $10 each).
One of our best finds happened the week before we were heading out to Iowa for the first time to campaign for Hillary Clinton in November of 2007, when we bought a bunch of Christmas ornaments from there: simple blue and silver balls, six to a box, for something like $1.25 a box. It looked like a card store or something went out of business and they donated their stock to Brown Elephant. That, or someone died and all their Christmas decorations were donated when their apartments were cleaned out. This is, unfortunately, a hazard of shopping at any thrift shop — there are ghosts lurking around a lot of this stuff if your imagination’s the kind that finds them.
We spotted those bulbs and knew immediately what we were going to do with them: we had rolls of Hillary for President round campaign stickers, so we took a sticker and placed it neatly on the blue and silver bulbs and made our first Hillary ornaments. Then, we took some spray glue and a little glitter we had laying around (because, of course, a bunch of gay guys always have plenty of glitter laying around, you know, for emergencies) and we were cranking out Hillary ornaments left and right.
We took them to Iowa with us and passed them out when we were walking door to door. At first, we were going to bake Hillary cupcakes or her oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, but we wondered how receptive strangers would be to eating things someone brought to their door. We personally wouldn’t. But the ornaments were cute, and almost every house we went to in Iowa had a Christmas tree up. Since the Iowa caucus was early in January, and the trees were still up until mid-January or so, the Hillary supporters or Hillary leaners would have a little bit of Hillary in their homes, staring at them every day from their trees, right up until the caucus.
And the ornaments were clearly hand-made by us, so they were very personal. We only gave them to people we made real connections with, and on caucus night quite a few people came up to us and said, “Oh, yeah guys! We got your ornaments on our tree! Go Hillary go!”
We mention this now because if you are a Sarah Palin supporter, you might want to start stocking up on simple bulbs like we did if you see them on sale. Since there are no Palin 2012 stickers out yet, you can use pictures you find of her in magazines and decoupage the ornaments. Maybe we could even find some good photos of Sarah and make some templates for you that you could then just print out and put right onto the ornaments you are making.
January will be just two years before the next Iowa caucus. Just imagine how many ornaments you could make in that time, to have ready to go. If you aren’t planning on traveling to Iowa yourself, you could make them at home and then send them to the Palin offices when they open.
At the beginning of a campaign, especially, money is so tight…and things to give away to people are in such short supply. People wanted Hillary items and kept asking for them and asking for them but the campaign was not prepared in those early days.
What if, collectively, Palin supporters were proactive and started making these personal items now…so the campaign, when it gears up, has all this prep work done for them?
The cost really is very minimal too.
We plan on buying up as many of the sale Christmas bulbs we can find the moment they are marked down. We’re checking the thrift stores now, to see if people who’ve bought new bulbs are donating their old ones. We also keep checking the dollar stores for other small plastic hollow balls we can use to make ornaments.
Personally, we love crafting, so every year people we know get ornaments like this from us at Christmas time. That, or Hillary cupcakes if we run out of ornaments and bake instead. The people we care about deserve something more meaningul than something store bought at the holidays.
And we like knowing there’s Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, and Chelsea Clinton smiling at people we know on all their trees. Especially in the Republican households we know. People tell us guests come over and ask, “Why do you have Hillary Clinton ornaments on your tree?” and our friends say, “Oh, HillBuzz gave us those. Used to hate that woman, but she’s grown on us and now we say thank God for her, because we see her in a new light now”.
Just imagine if the same can be done for Sarah Palin, through a little bit of arts and crafts, a bit of foresight, and two years of spirited ornament making by her supporters.
You might not be able to put a copy of Going Rogue into every home in Iowa because of the cost involved, but at about thirty cents a piece (cost of bulbs + glitter + picture + glue) we could very easily, as a giant team, put a Sarah Palin Christmas tree ornament on every tree in Iowa.
It could actually be a fun national project for supporters to run together, so we hope our friends at Conservatives4Palin and TeamSarah see this and suggest it to their readers too.
And in case you are wondering, yes we are making Hillary for President ornaments too. Just in case a certain Secretary of Great needs them in 2012 herself.
One Horseman of the GOP 2012 Apocalypse has been knocked off his horse: kiss Mike Huckabee's political future goodbye
We actually think Mike Huckabee is a very nice man. On a personal level.
We met him, and actually got to have a fairly long conversation with him, when we first saw Sarah Palin speak in person, at a rally at a baseball stadium outside St. Louis days after she was debuted as the GOP VP nominee. Huckabee is genuine and warm when speaking to you, a lot like Bill Clinton is in person. His wife Janet is charming and very sweet. While working the rope line, we saw many people hand her their cameras so she could take pictures of them with her husband — which was odd that they didn’t want her in the picture, too, but she didn’t care. She snapped away, at one point holding about five cameras that we could see, like she had just arrived from Tokyo as a tourist ready to photograph anything that moved.
Too funny, and very, very sweet of Janet.
The two Huckabees are people we’d love to have as neighbors, but never want to see in the White House, the Naval Observatory, or the Governor’s mansion of any state we live in.
Mike should stay on his TV show. Janet, in our opinion, should have a cooking or home show of her own: she’s very Paula Dean and engaging in person; it’s too bad no one has had sense enough to put these two together yet. Just imagine a Husband-Wife Politics and Cooking Show, where Mike could do political interviews on one part of the set and Janet could do cooking, gardening, home, and crafting bits (things she has said repeatedly she enjoys), and all emphasis could be on healthy eating (noting Mike’s weight loss, making Janet a Southern, waist-watching version of Dean without all that butter). It could really be a hoot, and we think a big success. We’d sure watch. Janet could even take pictures of the audience with cameras they’d bring.
In Iowa, the MSM used Huckabee to take down Mitt Romney in the first stage of making John McCain the GOP’s 2008 nominee. It was clear to us on the ground what was happening: Romney would have been a better general election candidate, so Romney had to be knocked out in Iowa. Huckabee was treated with kid gloves, while Romney was savaged, and evangelicals were pumped up to stick it to the Mormon by voting for Huckabee. Romney staffers we know insist, to this day, that if Huckabee had lost Iowa that Romney would have secured the nomination from McCain…and Romney would have been more appealing to voters when the economic crisis “October Surprise” engineered by George Soros hit in September.
We’ve been saying for months that the groundwork is already being laid by the MSM to once again select the GOP candidate MSNBC, CNN, the New York Times, and other liberal mouthpieces of the White House wants to run against Dr. Utopia in 2012. Chris Matthews admitted on the air that his job is to make sure Dr. Utopia succeeds. Part of that is to pick a fatally flawed GOP candidate in the next nominating contest, so Dr. Utopia coasts to re-election in a cake walk.
There are five men the MSM wants to push for 2012, all of whom Dr. Utopia will clobber:
(1) Mike Huckabee
(2) Charlie Crist
(3) Mitt Romney
(4) Tim Pawlenty
(5) Jon Hunstman
We remember it was not that long ago that almost every Republican we knew was all about Mark Sanford, and how Mark Sanford was the perfect 2012 candidate. That’s because the MSM was telling them that, and they listened. After Sanford self-destructed early (the MSM wanted his affairs and other baggage released in 2012′s general election, so Republicans dodged a real bullet with all of this happening in 2009 instead), the MSM started building Huckabee up some more, and Republicans here in Chicago started saying to us that Huckabee would be the only one who could inspire conservatives to come out in force (since they sat their butts home in 2008, resulting in the Golden Age of Hope and Change we are all struggling through today).
We remain convinced the winning 2012 Republican will be Sarah Palin. If she continues on the course she’s setting for herself, and does not listen to the MSM or RNC, she will indeed be the nominee and will win the general election — and we pledge every day that we will help her do just that in every way we can.
The MSM is, clearly, committed to destroying Sarah Palin: single-minded, brutal, obsessed, like robots sent from the future by SkyNet after the wrong “Sarah”.
Their commitment to Huckabee as one of the GOP’S Five Horsemen has been shaken, however, with the revelation that Huckabee, as Arkansas governor, pardoned the murderer who executed four police officers in a coffee shop near Tacoma. All of Huckabee’s pardons are now being re-examined, and it seems he never gave a good reason for any of the clemency he doled out to violent criminals. There are probably others who he pardoned that went on to commit futher heinous crimes; it was just this police shooting that brought the whole matter to national attention.
It’s a tough break for Huckabee, because he made that pardon in 2000. It’s a lucky break for all those of us who want to see Dr. Utopia limited to just one term, because Huckabee would have been propped up by the MSM as a spoiler again in 2012. He would have run in Iowa, to take enough votes away from Palin for someone like Pawlenty to win that first round. As far as we can tell, Pawlenty has no real scandals waiting to pop up and is the boring, uninspiring candidate the MSM wants to run for the GOP so he can be drowned in Dr. Utopia’s star power and celebrity charisma. Huckabee stopping Palin would benefit Pawlenty — and cucumber mayonnaise on white bread sandwiches with skim milk and cottage cheese on the side everywhere.
With Sanford and Huckabee out, the next anti-Palin strategy for 2012 could be the rolling out of Huntsman, whom the nation knows little about, but whom Rahm Emanuel wants to run Dr. Utopia against for some reason. Huntsman is a governor turned ambassador, and Emanuel has said several times, ‘Oh, we would be scared of him in 2012. Please don’t let him run. That big strong sexy mountain of a man would make my heart all aflutter and I just don’t know what we’d do to stop him”.
Republicans haven’t learned this lesson yet, but they should never run the candidates the MSM wants them to, or run candidates the White House and Rahm Emanuel want to face in an election.
That seems really obvious to us, but since it just keeps happening, maybe we need to talk about basic things like this some more.
Monday Open Thread: November 30th 2009
What’s on your minds this Monday?
What stories are you following in the news today?
Here’s some of what we’re reading up on to talk about in more depth later:
* The White House and American MSM are doing their best to keep the Climategate scandal under wraps — how do we thwart their efforts and make regular Americans realize what a fraud Al Gore’s Anthropogenic Global Warming hoax always was?
* ACORN ally Eric Holder has seen to it that ACORN maintains its funding, despite the recent bill from Congress that was supposed to cut these criminals off. ACORN is also starting to reform under another name. How do we prep to strike at the new heads of this Hydra? Remember, ACORN is the lynchpin of the Utopian re-election strategy. Without ACORN, the SEIU, and the Black Panthers, Dr. Utopia won’t have the intimidation and voter fraud teams to secure that second term. ACORN will not do down quietly and must be battled the next three years. Who’s up for the challenge…and how do we get Sarah Palin to be our great and public crusader against voter fraud?
* Have you seen how massive the Department of Health and Human Services would be under Utopiacare, with Kathleen Sebelius given dictatorial, god-like powers over the lives and deaths of hundreds of millions of people? Under the current Democrat plan, Sebelius would be able to decide, PERSONALLY, accountable to no one, which procedures would be covered by insurance and, essentially, who in the population would live and who would die. That would be a scary proposition if we had someone competent as Secretary of HHS…but Sebelius? After what she did to Kansas? Have you seen this woman? We wouldn’t trust her with watering houseplants properly, let alone deciding anyone’s medical fate. If you weren’t opposed to the government takeover of healthcare before, you should be very scared now.
Congratulations Chelsea Clinton! First Daughter getting married next summer
President Clinton’s office has announced it’s finally official: Chelsea Clinton is getting married next summer, to longtime boyfriend turned fiance Marc Mezvinsky.
We were fortunate enough to be part of several events Chelsea did for her mother in the Chicago area during the 2008 campaign: she is funny, kind, warm, BRILLIANT, and sincerely one of the nicest, sharpest, most grounded and normal young women we’ve ever met.
Everywhere she turned at those events, people told her how proud of her they were, and how proud they are of the Clintons for raising such a wonderful daughter. Everyone who saw her speak as a surrogate for her mother walked away wondering what the future holds for their favorite First Daughter.
We are so, so happy for her today — and so happy for President and Secretary Clinton, as we know Hillary in particular has been so looking forward to this wedding…and hopefully many grandchildren to come if that’s what Chelsea and Marc decide.
What a great after Thanksgiving treat in the news.
Now, let the cottage industry of speculating on Chelsea Clinton’s wedding begin — because without a doubt it’s going to be the biggest social event in 2010, for sure. The little girl we all watched grow up into an amazing young woman is getting married. Cue feeling old in five…four…three…two…one.
Sarah Palin keeps gay men from dating in Chicago
We read a great piece on Sarah Palin today over at one of our favorite sites, www.Conservatives4Palin.com, that struck right to the heart of the matter regarding how unhinged Palin makes the Leftists. We have never, ever in our lives witnessed hate as strong as what these loons launch at her. It tops even George W. Bush and Cheney hate. It tops REAGAN hate. It’s unprecedented.
During Thanksgiving, all of us here did various volunteer assignments and stopped off for drinks here and there at various people’s houses, where we are always introduced as “our friend Sebastian, who is a Hillary Dem that likes Sarah too” or “Kevin, who is gay and used to be a Democrat but no longer after how they treated Hillary Clinton” or “Robby, who writes for that website and we can’t believe he wants to work for Sarah Palin”.
And, of course, the people introducing us know how much this will stir up, because the low-information fops in the room spill chardonnay all over themselves, like they would if Cheyenne Jackson was in the room and ripped off his face to reveal Bea Arthur. Their brains literally can’t process who’s standing before them. They’re just dumbfounded. And then, when they regain the ability to speak, they start talking about how stupid Sarah Palin is, how irrelevant she is, and whatever else Anderson Cooper or Rachel Maddow told them to say.
If she’s so stupid, so irrelevant, and has no future in politics, then why does she induce brain aneurysms in these people, at the mere mention of her name?
There’s a great line in the C4P article above that hits on this meme, asking how often the musings of irrelevant people on Facebook, no less, warrant joint sessions of Congress by the current president for rebuttal.
We all flash back to this last August when the Chicago Diner, a vegetarian restaurant on Halsted in Boystown, used Sarah Palin shamelessly to commit charitable fraud. At the Market Days Festival, while other restaurants had tip jars for their employees to solicit money from the crowd, the Chicago Diner decided to create fake “Sarah Palin Retirement Fund” jars that promised to give the money collected to Sarah Palin as she resigned her governorship and entered private life. Chicago Diner, a for-profit commercial enterprise, is forbidden under Illinois commerce clauses from misrepresenting itself as a “fund” for any purpose, though they refused to put a disclaimer on the jars clarifying the money was not going to Palin because, and we quote the manager we confronted about this, “then we would get less tips that way”.
When we talked about the Chicago Diner breaking the law and doing this last August, we caught a lot of heat for it in the LGBTQ community here in Boystown, with lots of nasty emails saying, “How can you stand up for Sarah Palin?”, “The Chicago Diner can do whatever it wants because we hate Palin,” and “It doesn’t matter if Chicago Diner is breaking the law because they are making fun of Palin and that’s good”.
It was crazy. The language the Left uses to lash out makes sailors blush. Marines have never heard some of the things these people toss around like so many non-dairy soy milkshakes. To think, they eat with those mouths. It’s a wonder they aren’t riddled with cankers.
We still get people who say, “Aren’t you those DeMcCrats for McCain guys? I hate you guys. If you are gay, you must be Democrat,” because we canvassed Boystown for McCain/Palin in 2008 (mostly for Palin). So, standing up for Palin against the Chicago Diner, standing up to Sidetracks and other bars when they play misogynistic anti-Palin videos, and pushing back against whatever Anderson Cooper or Chris Matthews’ latest missive against Palin is, has meant being on the receiving end of a lot of nastiness for us on our home turf.
And, honestly, we say BRING IT.
Read that C4P article, which references Ayn Rand a lot, too. One of the key points is that both Rand and Palin tapped into an innate goodness in America, a can-do spirit, an entrepreneurialism that’s so lacking in the Left. The more they attack Palin, or attack us for standing up for her, the more we realize how little in common we have with the Left at all.
Besides hating Palin, what do they stand for?
Besides hating Hillary Clinton in the primaries, what did they stand for then?
Besides accusing anyone who doesn’t support Dr. Utopia of being a racist, what do they ever really have to say?
Let them eat their hate sandwiches and drink their irrational milkshakes inside the Chicago Diner all day, coming up with new charity scams, or whatever it is they do in there, but we’re going to keep being voices against the Left’s sexism and misogyny here in Boystown, whether they like it or not.
At Thanksgiving, someone told us all that we’d forever be single as long as we kept supporting Palin. “This is different than Hillary,” they said, “because most gay men love Hillary. But they hate Sarah. If you keep supporting Sarah, no one will want to date you — they won’t be able to take it. They will go crazy.”
We don’t know if that’s true or not, and frankly don’t care. We went all-in with defeating Dr. Utopia back in 2007 and won’t stop until his socialist agenda itself is stopped. We’ve never left campaign mode, and have honestly, between the lot of us, dated more people than any of us could ever want to date, so we aren’t too concerned about that.
This nation is more important than that nonsense.
There have been a couple of guys some of us have liked who we’ve wanted to go out with, and then they said something nasty, out of the blue, about Palin. We’d stop them and say, “Well, actually, we like Governor Palin, and let us tell you why”. And then we would talk about her record as a reformer, her belief in controlled government, her mission to get this country energy independent. Their eyes would glaze and the two of us would realize we’d never even be friends, let alone anything else, but we’d make them listen to as much of the non-Matthews/Cooper/Olbermann take on Palin as we could cram in.
It’s what we plan on doing until such time as we can officially work for her campaign in 2012, at which point we’re sure the usual suspects around here will become completely unhinged again. We bet there will be more rocks through our windows and hate mail galore.
But so be it.
We went rogue long before going rogue was even a concept, apparently.
Something fun to do to Best Buy: force them to recognize every obscure and/or offensive holiday you can think of
Best Buy recently removed itself from places we’ll shop by placing Islamist holidays above Thanksgiving and Christmas in things it thinks are important to celebrate.
Best Buy was previously our go-to place for anything technical and electronic. The Mac we use to write this site is failing, so we’re saving up for a new computer, this time a PC, and we most likely would have bought that at Best Buy. Instead, we will be buying that new computer in 2010 at a store that does not promote Islam.
On September 11th, 2001, our friend Jane was killed by Muslims in the World Trade Center attacks. We will never forget this. Seeing a business so happy about Muslim holidays makes us want to shop elsewhere. You can do whatever you want, and shop at Best Buy if you choose. You can also say whatever you want about our decision, but shopping for us is an emotional experience. While we shop around for the best buys, typically, we end up going to stores we feel good about shopping in. Best Buy was always a good shopping experience, but now going there makes us remember how awful it was when our friend was murdered by Muslim terrorists. Frankly, there are better ways for us to spend a Sunday, or drop a few hundred dollars in the future.
Many people have complained about Best Buy’s promotion of Islam — but they are actually going about it the wrong way if they want Best Buy to buckle.
Best Buy was advised, clearly, by a Liberal, feel-good, globalist, consulting firm to add the Muslim holidays to the Best Buy calendar in an attempt to drive an uptick in certain areas that have heavy Muslim populations but aren’t maxed-out in terms of shopping at Best Buy. The consultants believed Best Buy could motivate the 4 million American Muslims to shop more, while offending less than 4 million Americans with the Islamization of its ads, resulting in a net positive for Best Buy.
The consultants also clearly prepped Best Buy for some blowback, telling corporate, most likely, to expect some hate mail for a while, but not to buckle to it.
So, here’s what we would do instead…and it could be a fun hobby for you, and good political organizing practice for the future, too:
(1) Research all Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, and Hindu holidays that are currently not celebrated by Best Buy and insist, politely, that these holidays be added to the Best Buy calendar too, if Muslim holidays are now considered so important. This includes but is not limited to St. Francis Day, St. Margaret’s Day, St. Stephen’s Day, etc. It’s been years since we’ve been in a church, but we remember back in Catholic school it was ALWAYS a feast of some saint. We’re sure Best Buy could be forced to celebrate something 365 days of the year by going this route.
(2) Find obscure, pagan, nonsensical, offensive, and vulgar holidays and demand Best Buy celebrate those, too. Ancient feast days involving giant phalluses. Fertility festivals in Asia. Fuhrerstag. Sammhein. The Day Kronos Swallowed Zeus As A Baby. The Day Kronos Vomited Zeus Back Up. Flying Spaghetti Monster’s Birthday.
Completely swamp Best Buy with these holiday requests so that the Exec Board regrets it ever opened up these flood gates.
Accuse Best Buy of being racist for not celebrating St. Sebastian Day. Remember what Al Sharpton and Henry Gates teach us: it doesn’t have to make any sense that you call something RAAACIST, and it doesn’t have to have anything at all to do with race, just call it racist and you will get attention. If someone can get all the way to the White House doing this, surely it can be used to make trouble for Best Buy.
What will likely happen is that Best Buy will not make any sort of acknowledgement of the flak it’s getting, but will back away from the Muslim holidays in the future so that it won’t have to start celebrating The Flying Spaghetti Monster’s Birthday.
Personally, that’s it for Best Buy for us regardless of what they do. It means we have to now make a longer trip to get something electronic we need, but so be it. We vote with our dollars and our feet, and won’t for the life of us give a dime to Best Buy again.
Not telling you what to do, but telling you we’ve had all we can take of the coddling of Islam. We owe it to our friend Jane to make sure the terrorist crime syndicate masking as a religion is never given any more legitimacy on our watch.
A full frontal assault on the Race Industry is needed
Can’t wait to see how much hate mail we’ll get from Liberals for speaking the truth on this one, so here goes.
Today on the bus we had one of those Chicago moments that make us realize a full frontal assault on the Race Industry is truly needed, starting now, to reap dividends in 2010 and 2012.
The bus was packed with holiday shoppers — packed to bursting, actually, to the point where people were almost hanging off the side like it was New Delhi and not Chicago.
A black family was on the bus, with a very sick baby who was vomiting and passing gas loudly for a long part of the ride (in a movie, the baby would have been played by Eddie Murphy in a fat suit, swaddled in pink, encased in a giant stroller blocking most of the aisle).
There were four or five adults, and a few teenaged kids in the group (all of whom would also be played by Eddie Murphy in fat suits, because Eddie Murphy hates the world and wants to punish us all). One of the male adults thought the flatulence was hilarious, and the rest of the troupe agreed, laughing their heads off at the gassy, vomiting baby (which, we note, was allowed to puke all over the floor, with no effort made to clean it up and, truth be told, no evidenced concern for the baby itself, who was convincingly reenacting the Exorcist for long stretches of the ride down Halsted).
That man took everything on a very ugly turn and racialized what was already a gross and vulgar bus ride.
He started saying, “Oh, lordy, look at all these white people, all pretending they don’t smell nothing. ‘Oh, why, I never,’ they’re all saying and pretend they can’t smell she pooted. Ha ha ha. Pretend you can’t hear me too, ha ha ha. You white people are so stupid, ha ha ha. That baby pooted and y’all pretend it ain’t nothing, ha ha ha. White people.”
We would have quoted him verbatim, because we wrote down word for word what he said in one of the little Moleskins we carry with us at all time, but then we’d be accused of RAAACISM, surely, for accurately reflecting the poor grammar, expletives, and true spirit of his remarks. He was like something out of an old movie Liberals successfully got banned from the air — only he was REAL, and unfortunately a character we see walking around causing problems in Chicago ALL THE TIME.
How many times can something be “an unfair racial stereotype” when it’s TRUE, and you see it right in front of your face on the CTA in Chicago?
After we got off the bus, because we couldn’t take any more of this (the “pooting”, and the racism directed at white people from this black family), and decided to walk the rest of the way and get some fresh air, we thought about what would have happened if a white person (or, really, if an Asian or a Hispanic or Native American) had been talking about or making fun of black people on the bus the way the black family was making fun of whites. There would have been a riot, probably, with media choppers descended upon the scene, possibly air-lifting in Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson themselves.
Can you imagine?
What’s interesting is that we didn’t feel comfortable ourselves calling that loudmouth out on the bus. One of us wanted to, but was stared down by the rest, in that “Sebastian, don’t start another bar fight over misogyny” look given whenever Liberals in a room bring out a two-minute-hate about something and we stand up for whatever woman’s being dragged through coals that day. The impulse was to say to that black man, “Excuse me, but what does race have to do with anything here? People are being polite and pretending they don’t smell the baby’s flatulence or strawberry-pink vomit everywhere, because they know it’s not the baby’s fault and they don’t want to get into any argument with you, who is clearly looking for some kind of fight. People are tired, they just want to get home, and so they are pretending this little vignette’s not even going on in front of them. It has nothing to do with RACE, but manners”.
It’s also really about people not wanting to say boo to that family lest they be called RAAACISTS!, probably, because the terror of being labeled a RAAACIST has been applied so effectively in the last 30 years that families like the one on the bus use race as a weapon and enabler of bad behavior EVERY DAY. It works, so they do it.
They are, in fact, ENCOURAGED to behave this way by the “leaders of the black community”, such as Sharpton, Jackson, Henry Gates, Eric Holder, John Lewis, James Clyburne, Charlie Rangle, and our illustrious president and first lady themselves.
Maybe that was the whole point in that man saying, so the whole bus could hear, “Oh, you white people this and that”. He was clearly not a stupid person, was decently dressed, and looked like he had a job. He had sense enough to know that it was pretty bad they were just letting a baby spew strawberry-pink vomit on the floor of a moving bus, while the baby crepitated more than Oprah after chili day at Harpo Studios. We think part of what he did was pre-empt any sort of criticism of the family, by “calling white people out” and saying the things everyone on the bus was thinking about the baby so that no one could actually say them — lest he then call them RAAACISTS for saying anything bad about the black family’s bad behavior.
It’s like on a bad date when someone who’s fat or balding talks about how people hold his being fat and balding against him, so that if the person across the table from him at dinner goes there, that person would look insensitive and prejudiced.
Great psychology there.
We bet the Race Industry gives seminars on this stuff.
And all of this makes us wonder why a concerted, full frontal assault on the Race Industy itself has never been mounted.
Race cards all expired on January 20th, 2009 at twelve noon when the current president took office. It is no longer legitimate for any black person in this or any other country to claim they are being held back by anyone in power, when the person with the most power in the entire world is a biracial black-identifying man.
The MSM has promoted the idea that if you criticize our 44th president in any way, you are a RAAACIST.
If you think a black person is wrong in any way, you are a RAAACIST.
If you are the victim of anything a black person does — from vomiting on the bus, to muggings (of which we here have received TWO, one in New York and one in Chicago), to the crime spree black transvestites in the Center on Halsted Gang have been on in Boystown — then you are a RAAACIST for not appreciating how your victimizers are victims too.
You damn dirty RAAACISTS.
If we had YouTube capabilities and any skill at all in editing and design, we’d put out commercials we’d love to go viral that would tell the general public how okay it is to tell black people they are wrong.
One commercial could be the vignette above, with the crass Klumps family out for a ride on the bus, ruining everyone’s day.
The voiceover could say, “It is not racist to tell black people they are wrong. It is not racist to be disgusted by crass behavior. It is not racist to tell a loudmouth to SHUT THE F*** UP. The Race Industry is a fraud. Stop supporting it.”
This could be a whole series.
It is not racist to hire a more qualified person if the black applicant won’t do as good of a job as the white one.
It is not racist, if you are a waiter providing excellent service, to expect a 15% tip, minimum, from a black table the same as you would from every other table — and be upset when the black table stiffs you or leaves the equivalent of 5% instead.
It is not racist to clutch your bag tighter and cross the street if you see three big black guys in hoodies headed your way — this is, in fact, how you keep from getting mugged and having everything valuable you own stolen, as we learned here quite well in 2009.
It is not racist to tell a black person whatever they are complaining about has nothing at all to do with race.
Not everything bad that happens to all of us here in the course of a day is because we are gay. Some of it’s because we didn’t plan ahead well enough, didn’t do things we were supposed to do, and because we were lazy. Late for work? It’s not because we are gay that we didn’t get a space on the crowded bus — it’s because we didn’t allow enough time for that possibility. Overslept? It’s not because we are gay that somebody didn’t wake us up — we should have woken up our damn selves. Rejected by a hottie at the bar — it’s not because we are gay, or too gay, or not gay enough — he was just not that into us.
We believe Dr. Utopia receiving the affirmative action Nobel Prize was a tipping point for many people, whether they realize it or not. That was such a colossal joke, there are still those we know — educated people — who are CONVINCED it was honestly a joke, where The Onion somehow punked the world and no one in Norway bothered to correct it.
The national reserve of Race Industry-dependent white guilt was used up in 2008, which is something else many people (to their detriment, ultimately) don’t realize (paging Sharpton, Jackson, Gates, Holder, et al).
Couple that with the MSM fawning over Dr. Utopia as the greatest president in our history just because he is a biracial black-identifying man, and there’s a window of opportunity where people for the first time in DECADES could be willing to exorcise the racial boogeymen the Left depends on.
Standing up to the Race Industry will take guts.
We saw how hard this is on that bus ride. We had a chance there, in a small way, and didn’t want to make a scene.
But, just imagine if commercials like the one we talked about for YouTube really could be made, and actually put on real TV somehow. It would set off a cultural FIRESTORM. “You are not a racist for disagreeing with a black person”.
That’s such a simple concept, and so true, but it would absolutely be a stake through the heart of Liberalism (which depends not only on lockstep black voting allegiance, but the stranglehold racialized politics holds on many Americans who fear ever stepping even slightly out of line because they’d then be branded RAAACISTS).
