"Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards."

The Obama File – The Russia Interview
http://www.rightsidenews.com/200902173700/editorial/the-bbc-to-broadcast-obama-ineligibily-cases-tomorrow.html

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), the oldest and largest broadcasting company in Great Britain just recorded an interview with Dr. Orly Taitz about the Obama ineligibility cases. It will be transmitted prime time in their Russian edition tomorrow, 7-8 PM, Moscow time (4-5 PM, London time). They feel it is the case of the Century and were amazed, as to why U. S. media doesn’t report it.

Dr. Taitz explained, that in her opinion, most of U. S. media is in the hands of a few members of the U. S. oligarchy that find Obama convenient for their purposes and refuse to report on his total illegitimacy for presidency. She explained to the interviewer, Seva Novgorodski, that the U. S. President must be a “natural born citizen,” meaning being the child of two U. S. citizen parents and born in the U. S. mainland. Obama does not qualify for several reasons:

1. His father was here on a student visa and was never a U. S. citizen.

2. Hawaii statue 338 allows foreign born children of Hawaii residents to obtain Hawaii Certification of Live Birth (COLB). The short version COLB, that Obama posted on the Internet is a worthless piece of paper, since it does not show any corroborating evidence, such as name of the hospital and name and signature of a doctor, that should be on the actual birth certificate. Obama refuses to release his original birth certificate from Hawaii and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on attorneys to file motions to keep them sealed. His attorneys have been threatening, harassing and intimidated petitioners with sanctions for mere requesting the records. This behavior can be explained only by the fact that the original birth certificate shows him ineligible.

3. When Obama migrated to Indonesia, he lost his U. S. citizenship, while gaining Indonesian Citizenship, since Indonesia does not allow dual citizenship. Obama reaffirmed his Indonesian citizenship and therefore relinquished his U. S. citizenship yet again (if he ever had it) as an adult, while studying at Occidental College and traveling to Pakistan on an Indonesian passport.

The interviewer asked if Dr. Taitz was afraid to go against such a mountain and so much money. She stated that nothing can be achieved by virtue of fear and was more concerned about a prospect of Obama being allowed to continue to stay in the White House illegally, in that all the orders and bills and international treaties signed by him will be illegal. She also stated, that in her opinion, this is a giant on legs of clay, since his rise was achieved by massive voter fraud during the primaries, the general election and U. S. media providing one sided reporting.

The BBC interviewers wished Dr. Taitz luck and stated that they are fascinated by the case and asked to come back on the program, when there are new developments.

Eric Holder should never be where he is…he is also a fraud like Saul Alinsky Obama.

Does he not realize that America just elected a half black man to be President…does he not realize that there are more racist blacks in this country than whites?

Does he not realize that he doesn’t make things better about the racist in the black community when he makes stupid statements like this?

Does he not know that the blacks in this country live a double standard when it comes to white people.

They can call themselves…niggers…but we can’t?

If they don’t want white Americans to call them niggers, they should set an example and not call themselves niggers.

That would be a great start in getting rid of racist in America in the black community…stop being double-minded and double-tongued and grow up and be men and women who are proud to be Americans without the hypen!

Sure.. All you have to do is look at the criminals in a Brink’s Home Security commercial to realize that.

bryon   February 18th, 2009 - 3:40 pm

Blacks are the most racist folks there are. Why do they vote 96 percent for a Black man–race? Why do they ( blacks) consistently vote for mayors ( who got busted smoking crack in Washington) with a 92 percent turn out for him? Why are the top ten worst city’s to live and work in America are majority Black population ? Why did the Mayor of New Orleans say that he will rebuild his city and make it a chocolate city again–race.Get real Blacks are the worst racist people there are regardless of social , economic background..They vote on race and hole the race card.

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 18th, 2009 - 3:43 pm

And by the way…I am not afraid to confront racism in our society…even having to say the word nigger! If we can’t discuss that, we can’t discuss anything on racism!

Blacks need to stop using this word as an abomination…whites are called “honkies”…italians are called “wops”…mexicans are “spicks”…Germans are “krauts”…etc. get over it!

Vera71   February 18th, 2009 - 3:45 pm

Dear Anonymous: To qualify “natural born citizen” means that you are born on U.S. soil. It does not mean that either of your parents must be U.S. citizens. Since Hawaii is a state, anyone born there is born a citizen of the U.S. Therefore, if Mr. Obama was actually born in Hawaii he is a natural born U.S. citizen even if his father was a student. To qualify for the Presidency, one only must be born in the U.S. as a natural citizen; it’s not necesssary for your parents to be U.S. citizens to qualify as “natural born.” You might consider reading up on U.S. citizenship on the U.S. State Dept. site.

PaleRyder   February 18th, 2009 - 4:12 pm

As the sitting top law enforcemnent officer of this nation,you should be terminated on the spot from your ag position.We all know now though,that barry doesn’t have the guts to make a stand on important issues by himself.The real cowards and racists are you sir and the leaders of your party.Cowards,beacause you did not have the honesty or spine to tell Americans your real agenda BEFORE the election.Now you are all making the mistake that you have a mandate to close America off from freedom and liberty and justice.Once again,you vastly underestimate the strength and abilities of the free public in this country.I have never seen so many po’d right thinking democrats in this country at their own party,and I might add,it’s about GD time.

Russ   February 18th, 2009 - 4:19 pm

Isn’t it just wonderful to see the hate-America first cowards and spewers of vile finally have the guts to tell us about themselves?I mean,now that the election is over.I guess the non-black section of America can really depend on this bigotted piece of human debris to be fair and honest on issues.Less than 30 days after taking office and already probably the most corrupt and ignorant admin. in our history.If Obama doesn’t fire this complete idiot then he should be run out of office as well.34 years of voting democrat is fast becoming ancient history for me and my family…someone in dc better get a clue and get it real soon.

Obama is the biggest admitting racists in politics. How dare he denounce his white family and roots, and then make comments and allow his administration make racism part of their political forum. Arent oboma and ag holder proof that the american dream applied to them as much as much as the rest of us? I am so sick of this old boring rhetoric. Whats worse now that a half black man is in office he wants to punish people that have worked hard and earned success, and enable minorities buy giving them everything for nothing. Cant wait to see how this works out!!!

Ronaldo   February 18th, 2009 - 4:31 pm

When famous soprano Leontyne Price was hailed by an opera critic as, “perhaps the greatest black opera singer of all time, ” she responded with, “What’s black got to do with it?”
Exactly.
Her fierce dedication, discipline, training and hard work – in a word, her character – not color, defined her.
Yet perople and now the AG continue to pay homage to February as “Black History Month.”
Expect articles on the usual suspects: Frederick Douglass, WEB DuBois, Martin Luther King Jr., and my favorite, Booker T. Washington. Still, it seems a bit patronizing to ‘commemorate’ one month in twelve to a few great people who happen to be of a particular race.
It’s time to emphasize color less and character more.
According to John Adams, the American Revolution occurred in the hearts and minds of the American people years long before shots were fired at Concord and Lexington. He saw the War for Independence as merely an “effect and a consequence” of the real American Revolution.
Similarly, the election of Barack Obama to the Presidency is merely the “effect and a consequence” of changes that occurred in the hearts and minds of people over several years (decades) leading up to the election. Note also that Michael Steele, a black American, was just elected to lead the Republican Party. Both events underscore that America has at last entered a post-racial age.
It is not how we look, but how we live that defines us. Maybe it’s time to emphasize color less and character more.
Though Dr. King’s dream that people not be judged on the basis of color has been realized, his dream had a second part: that people be judged on the content of their character. In this, he echoed the practical vision and teachings of Booker T. Washington. When it comes to character, Booker T. wrote the book. Literally. His book, “Character Building,” a compilation of Sunday evening talks he gave to Tuskegee students is online and free for download at http://www.BTWsociety.org/.
Sadly, much of Dr. Washington’s timeless wisdom and plain advice has been ignored by too many for too long. And we all, to one degree or another, suffer the consequences.
If, as WEB DuBois wrote a century ago, “the problem of the twentieth century (was) the problem of the color line,” what will be the problem of the twenty-first century?
The economy? Terrorism? Global warming? Political corruption? Reasonable people may differ as to the degree one presents a more “clear and present danger” than another. But these terms merely describe the effect and consequences – not the cause – of the actions taken by multitudes of individuals.
Each of these problems have at their root, a failure of character by individuals. Thus, the problem of the twenty-first century will likely be the problem of the ‘character line.’
If the solution to the problem of the color line lay in emphasizing civil rights, I humbly suggest that the solution to the problem of the character line will lay in emphasizing personal responsibility.
Rather than “black history month,” why not, say, “character month?” Though the temptation to have government attempt to change society from the top down will always be with us, history shows that the slower way, by changing the hearts and minds of men and women from the inside out is the only true, lasting way.
This is real hope and change we can believe in.

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 18th, 2009 - 4:41 pm

Dear Ronaldo…you wrote eloquently what you felt and what millions of us feel.

Thank you for presenting it to us today. I hope everyone takes the time to read your words of wisdom and “character”!

Character matters!

“Americans are cowards on race?” This guy is a coward period. He aided and authorized Bubba’s pardon of Marc Rich. He aided and authorized the pardons of Puerto Rican terrorists who KILLED U.S. citizens. Change we can believe in? I say this guy’s a race pimp, and Obama is a hack politician.

Ronaldo : Very well written , BUT can I ask you If you KNOw about W.E.B. Dubois ?

HE Really hated the Constitution of the United States . HE cooed over the Bolshevik russia and also like what Mussolini. he was a anti semitie
(later droped it)
He really hated Idividualism . wanted collectivism.
So it comes to be that HE was a Fascist.

fande3rls   February 18th, 2009 - 5:19 pm

Sence you would not answer the other post I will try again.

Do you LIBERIALS really want total state control ,And if you do tell me why?
Do you really hate your freedom so much your really ready to give it up so the state has control of YOU?
ARE YOU SO SHELFISH ENOUGH TO TAKE AWAY MY RIGHT TO DESENT AGAINST YOU ?
DO you realize that ,that is the exact same thing you try and blame US for, but yet we have never stopped you from doing it.

I am for Liberty , Personal freedom
I am an Individual , NOt part of a collective.
IT is not your right to reach in to my pocket or come in my house and tell me what you are going to take because the person down the street does not have the same thing.
I am responceable for myself , and my children
ANd my wife , I am not responceable for you or any one else.

REMMEBER THAT FOR EVERY ONE THING THE GOVERMENT DOES FOR YOU, IS ONE LESS RIGHT YOU HAVE TO DO FOR YOURSELF

Azul Del Fuego   February 18th, 2009 - 5:38 pm

AG Holder? I can say without regard to race that you may be the worst AG that any president has ever picked. Democrats are the most racists group of individuals ever with thier devisive group politics. I don’t know why Afric@n Americans continually vote in the lowest caliber people based soley on their common race. We need to find a way to break through so that we elect the best person for the job. Condi Rice? Justice Thomas? Len Swan? Michael Steele? These are all good solid candidates that I would be proud to represent me. These people never mention race as it pertains to policy. On the other hand, the Rangles, Jeffersons, Burris, Meeks, Holmes-Norton always use race in making policy. I’m sick of it, and I’ll bet many in the Afric@n American community are sick of that sh!t, too.

Roy E   February 18th, 2009 - 5:47 pm

By the way,I failed to mention that it is our Second Amendment that protects our BILL of RIGHTS.Lose it,,, you can kiss is all good by.

Steve   February 18th, 2009 - 5:47 pm

I agree with Holder. On issues of race, we are complete cowards.

Out of fear, our press won’t name the race of a criminal if he/she is black.

Out of fear, our politicians won’t acknowledge that California is headed to bankruptcy because of the strain of illegal immigration.

Out of fear, white people don’t attend high school playoff basketbrawl games in Alabama.

Out of fear, Obama only appointed 2 blacks to fill 35 available cabinet positions (affirmative action is for white people)

Cowards all.

GiveMeLiberty   February 18th, 2009 - 5:53 pm

Very well said Azul Del Fuego!! Let’s not forget Maxine Waters and John Conyers! Everytime one of them speaks all I hear is hatred coming out of their mouths. Holder is a disgrace and should NEVER have been elected AG. He’s one more giant stain on this Obamanation!

Jay   February 18th, 2009 - 6:01 pm

Didnt we just elect a black man as friggin President of the US?

Let us live our lives and leave race out of it. The constant drumbeat from people like the Attorney General make it difficult to heal very old wounds.

“It’s time to emphasize color less and character more.”

BRAVO!!!
Say it again, LOUDER, LOUDER!!!

TOTALLY DISINGENUOUS & UNREAL REMARKS   February 18th, 2009 - 6:15 pm

HOLDER said: “If we are to make progress in this area, we must feel comfortable enough with one another and tolerant enough of each other to have frank conversations about the racial matters that continue to divide us.”

THIS IS SO FRIGGIN’ DISINGENUOUS, IT MAKES YOU WANT TO THROW UP!!!

YOU KNOW DAMNED WELL, MR. HOLDER, THAT EVERY TIME A PERSON (ESPECIALLY A NON-BLACK PERSON!) SAYS *anything* ABOUT “PEOPLE OF COLOR” (OR WHATEVER THE CURRENTLY P.C. TERM IS NOWADAYS), THEY GET CALLED A “RACIST” AND WORSE.

NEWSFLASH FOR YOU: PEOPLE *DO* “TALK ABOUT” RACE BUT ONLY AMONGST THEMSELVES, WHERE *YOUR TYPE* CANNOT HEAR IT, BECAUSE YOUR TYPE WANTS TO IMMEDIATELY DECRY THAT PERSON (NO MATTER *WHAT* THEY SAY) AS A “RACIST”–AND IF THEY COULD, THEY WOULD LYNCH THEM!!!

YOUR REMARKS ARE TOTALLY UNREAL AND DISHONEST, AND ARE, ONCE AGAIN, NOTHING BUT *RACE-BAITING* WHICH SEEMS TO BE *ALL* THE DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS (ESPECIALLY THE BLACK ONES) KNOW HOW TO DO ANY MORE!!!

SHAME ON YOU.

The only “Racial Cowards” this nation has, are the truly cowardly jerks, like this sniveling whiner, who are SCARED to DEATH of true equality, because then they would be judged by their performance and promoted on the merits!

We have a Kneegrow sitting in the White House as Commander in Chief; your time for “Affirmative Action” is done!

Shut up and make it on your merits, not your “Government Mandated Crutch”!

When is European – American month anyway?

Is white people’s history not as important as black peoples?

Sorry, forgot, white people didn’t do anything to build this country!

Eric Holder is right!,we are cowards for allowing the black race hustlers and other shakedown artists to convince the majority of American’s that they would have been better off in Africa without slavery.
In fact,had it not been for the European’s BUYING AFRICAN’S FROM OTHER AFRICAN’S,they would be still over there engaged in endless tribal wars,hacking each other to death and waiting for the white man’s “silver bird” to drop food and medicine instead of living the high life over here and getting diabetes from overeating!
By the way,Eric Holder is on a mission to disarm America,THAT is one area that he will experience bravery and defiance from whites.

Bad news for folks who are deeply invested in the popular conception of race. The most recent national conference on the topic, attended by experts in genetics, history and anthropology, reports that ‘race’ doesn’t exist. Again, people in the know say that what most Americans think of as race is a cultural construct, not supported by biology.

Russs   February 18th, 2009 - 9:46 pm

Substitute CHINESE everytime Mr Holder says the word BLACK and see if it makes sense. Then substitute the word CHRISTIAN in place of the word BLACK and see if THAT makes sense. When 12 percent of the population wants 50% of the attention, praise and opportunity, and receive a major portion of the GOVERNEMENT’S largess, I am forced to conclude that LESS needs to be done in their behalf. NOW subsitute the word HISPANIC in place of the word BLACK in MR HOLDER’S remarks and see if you don’t see the blatant racisim in his self serving remarks.

john   February 18th, 2009 - 10:09 pm

Holder is an expert on race….

Blacks, as Holder would have you believe are experts on Race.

Did he ever stop to think that there are hundreds of “races” in this country that don’t have near the difficulty as Holder would have you believe that blacks do…
Blacks are very successful
Holder is thinking in the past….
High school kids today are over the cold war between the races…Let’s follow their lead….
Heavy issues like race are generational…
Seems like Holder found a bullpit though…

Holder needs to realise that his speach was hateful, and divisive. Coward is a hateful word that can’t be minimized by using it vaguely…

The emotions holder shared during his speech seemed to to be from the same place in the a soul that Michelle Obama’s hateful depiction of America came from.

Black people seem to think about race a lot…

Someone should let them know that other people devote very little thought to race…other matters seem to take take president.

Its ridiculous to think that churches rail about race in sermons that lend their caustic views as rightous before some god…In all my years at church I have never heard a word about any other race of people…except the Jews of course…Christians have an odd relationship with Jews…But never would a religious leader disrespect another group of people….

I my self go out of my way to be extra kind and genuine to people of other races…I think that’s the way to reasure each other that we are all on the same team. Treat each other kindly, especially those who appear to need it most. And you know what?, I think in America we do…Holder should travel outside America…Underclass groups of people are horribly abused…

I wonder why Holder cannot include gay and lesbian citizens in his race tirade…
And Handicapped people and senior citizens….There are many other physical maladies that garner suppression and neglect…
The hue of skin color pales to the treatment of Seniors in this country…We have a whole class disposable citizens.

Pigment, Mr. Holder is a small matter to most people…If you find that hard to believe I suggest you look inside to your own issues…Think about that…

Its not in anyone’s interest to believe others are out to harm them…
Believing that everyone wants to help you even in the most severe situations will generally aleiveate the paranoia you seem to suffer over race.

Peace.

Hickok   February 18th, 2009 - 10:33 pm

Let Mr. Holder divulge his grades in high school and college. Goly gee, would you please help us, Secretary Holder? Help us learn whether or not you were an affirmative action baby, or were you really samart. My guess, affirmative action fellow. But now, he lectures us on race. FY, Dr. Mary Fat Kneegrow apologist.

definequality   February 19th, 2009 - 12:00 am

I am not sure how to put this more eloquently- f!@# affirmative action. I had nothing to do with the ills that plagued our nations past, yet I have been handicapped negatively due to my race and gender for the purpose of; “leveling the playing field.” These policies engender racism and discontent with people who otherwise would not be racist.

claspur   February 19th, 2009 - 12:26 am

This clown brought-up race. He’s a bigot.

annie   February 19th, 2009 - 1:08 am

out of 39 comments, almost all are missing the point. ask yourselves, why you are feeling so angry about his speech? what is it that he’s said that is invoking so many negative feelings inside of you? why is this so hard to hear? it’s just one person’s understanding of race in this society. and i’m guessing most of the people on this board are white. how can any of you say what it is like to be black in this country? can you for ONE SECOND listen to the words of a black leader?! this is a man who has a lived experience in this country that is equally important to yours. you as a white person think you are being attacked, and he feels diminished on a daily basis due to his skin color. are we not talking about the same thing? regardless of how who you think the victims in this society are, you think it’s about race right? he is challenging us to think about race and to TALK about it. in a way, this is a good discussion board because people are talking about it. however, people seem to be coming from a place of negativity and anger, rather than hope that people will one day be able to reconcile their views through relationships and listening to each other. can you really tell him that what he feels is WRONG? certainly your opinion matters too, but his is also important. people experience this country in different ways. there is almost no sense in trying to compromise on these things. as a white person, you feel differently in this society. all i ask is that for ONE second you consider that what this man is saying is truth. what would that mean to you? what would that mean to how you lead your life?

definequality   February 19th, 2009 - 1:26 am

The point, annie, is that race should not be an issue. Everyone, regardless of race and gender, have different experiences in their lives. How do you know that this guy “feels diminished on a daily basis due to his skin color?” Have you asked him or is that how you feel? You should not feel diminished because of your skin color, and I should not be handicapped in American society because of my skin color. What about his remark about the country being just like it was 60 years ago on saturday and sunday? That is complete, shall I say, bull!@#$. Not to mention there is actually a very simple reason why the majority of each race might be hanging out with their own on the weekends: THEY HAVE MORE IN COMMON. This guy calls people cowards for not talking about racism to stir up some muck and in the process perpetuates discontent. I guess, according to you, he succeeded admirably.

[...] So saith the first black Attorney General, appointed by the black president we cowardly Americans just elected — which, last time I checked, is one more than any European country’s ever elected — during a speech honoring America’s officially recognized Black History Month. The key bit comes about a minute in. There’s nothing shocking about this, unless it’s how pedestrian it is. It’s the same old nonsense about having an “honest” conversation on race, which typically means agreeing root and branch with the leftist position on any policy issue that touches that subject (e.g., illegal immigration) on penalty of being called a racist. The boss notes the irony of Holder uncorking this on a day when “civil rights leader” Al Sharpton is demagoging the hell out of the New York Post for an innocent cartoon, but there’s an irony even more sublime here: Obama himself did everything he could to avoid race during the campaign — aside from the occasional insinuation that McCain’s a bigot — until the Wright uproar forced his hand. He could have used his platform to push the issue front and center but he decided he’d rather get elected. Holder owes his job to that, ahem, cowardice. [...]

What A NUTCASE   February 19th, 2009 - 5:27 am

Is this nutcase trying to make us FEEL BAD because we don’t hang out with BLACKS all weekend, or what???? You know, there have been several “new (BLACK) faces” in the political arena lately, and damned if they aren’t ALL making jackasses out of themselves with their motormouthing nonsense!

Did it ever occur to these RACEBAITING WHINERS that some people just plain DO NOT LIKE BLACK PEOPLE AND HAVE NO INTENTION OF AFFILIATING WITH THEM?

Did it ever occur to them that BLACK PEOPLE HAVE FOR THE MOST PART CREATED & EARNED THE NEGATIVE REPUTATION THEY “ENJOY”????

THERE MAY BE ONLY ONE WAY TO “SOLVE” THIS RACE THING: MAKE IT *ILLEGAL* TO EVEN BRING UP RACE IN ANY CONTEXT WHATSOEVER!!!! THAT OUGHT TO SOLVE IT.

HOW ABOUT YOU START THERE, MR. ATTORNEY GENERAL, AND CRAFT SOME LEGISLATION THAT MAKES IT *ILLEGAL* TO BRING UP RACE IN ANY CONTEXT WHATSOEVER!

I KNOW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WOULD BE WONDERFULLY RELIEVED AND GRATEFUL IF THEY NEVER HEARD THE WORD “RACE” AGAIN!

OH, BUT THAT’S NOT YOUR AGENDA, IS IT? I GUESS YOU ARE “PRIMING” US FOR THE UPCOMING *REPARATIONS* LEGISLATION???????

INDIVIDUAL VALUE or Collective non-value

Carl V. “Sam” Lamb and I served side-by-side as rifle-squad
leaders Fox Company, “Chesty” Puller’s 1st Marines, 1st Marine
Division. He wrote a book about our experiences in the Korean
conflict, 1950-1951. He included my remarks about an incident in
which one of our people threatened to punch-out a fellow squad-
leader who had black skin.

+ + +

THE LAST PARADE
by Carl V. Lamb Page 296 (1951)

James Fletcher Baxter

Sam and I had a lot in common. We both resisted evil. After I
got out of the hospital, ‘Big Jim’ Causey told of driving along
in his police cruiser and hitting a black man in his head
with his pistol. He thought it was funny how the guy sprawled
into the street. When he made this comment we were in a card
game. I didn’t say anything, but then he said he was going to
kick the ____ out of Joe Goggins and I had heard enough.

I said, “If you’re going to try that, you’ll have to go through
me to get to him. I’m willing to give my life for a country
that values each individual. If that isn’t true, I don’t want
to fight for that country – but, it is true, so I’m not going
to let you rob me of the very good reason I may lose my life
tomorrow or next week. If you attack him, you attack me. I
may lose, but I guarantee I will make it very expensive for
you to get to him. Let me know what you decide.”

He got up from our card game and said, “I’ll have to think
about it.”

I said, “Let me know. I’ll be here.”

He came back a little later and said, “You’re right. I was
wrong.” I thanked him for his manliness.

Joe Goggins came to me later and thanked me. He had wet eyes.

+ + +

(2/11/09)
Shortly after the above event, Causey was sent home on a
medical emergency for a family member. On the way, he
made a stop at a Naval medical facility stateside and ran into
my brother, Sgt. Howard “Barney” Baxter, 5th Marines, with
Chosen Reservoir frost-bitten feet. My brother said Causey
told him what had happened, and that it had “changed his life
forever.” Never again would he do “the collective thing” of race
abuse. He saw the value of each individual, regardless of race,
station, or other. He even forgave himself and became a worthy
and honorable U.S. Marine.

You are all a bunch of unpatriotic people. Your statements just reflect your ignorance and that you clearly don’t have a basic understanding of our Constitution, our laws and our history. Pick up a book.
Or don’t. I don’t really care because our country spoke and you people lost, big time. How about that for a minority. I believe this is exactly what our AG means by us confronting race issues when angry white people become a smaller minority and because of their ignorance, feel more threatened. You’ll find it increasingly hard to live in places where people share your views. Enjoy the change. You cannot overcome the color barrier without excepting that it existed/exists.

THE REAL IMPORTANT NEWS NOT EVER SHOWN ON RIGHT WING WACKO SITES AS THIS ONE!! ***********
**********

Palin owes back taxes on per diem, state says ****************
Oh No! Say it ain’t so Joe, there you go again bygolly!

Sarah Palin…The gift that keeps on giving!
Gov. Sarah Palin must pay income taxes on thousands of dollars in expense money she received while living at her Wasilla home, under a new determination by state officials.
The governor’s office wouldn’t say this week how much she owes in back taxes for meal money, or whether she intends to continue to receive the per diem allowance. As of December, she was still charging the state for meals and incidentals.

“The amount of taxes owed is a private matter,” Sharon Leighow, Palin’s spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. “If the governor collects future per diem, those documents would be a matter of public record.”

The revelation about Palin comes as U.S. senators, including Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, are under scrutiny over back taxes. A survey by the political newspaper and Web site Politico (www.politico.com) found that Begich was one of seven senators who acknowledged having paid back taxes.

Some other state employees also owe back income taxes for travel payments and will be getting revised tax forms, Annette Kreitzer, state administration commissioner, said in an e-mail.

She wouldn’t say which, or how many, employees will be receiving the notifications.

The payments became a touchy issue for Palin last fall when she was running for vice president and campaigned as a budget watchdog.

The Washington Post published a story in mid-September that said she had charged the state almost $17,000 for meals and incidentals while staying in her own home.

The state considers Juneau, where she lives in the Governor’s Mansion, to be Palin’s official duty station.

Palin billed the state for 312 nights spent in her Wasilla home during her first 19 months in office, according to the Washington Post. She received $60 a day tax free, money intended to cover meals and incidentals, while traveling on state business, her travel forms show.

“Last fall we raised questions about longstanding practices within the Department of Administration regarding tax treatment of per diem payments,” Kreitzer wrote in an exchange of e-mails over the past few days with the Daily News.

“At the Governor’s request, we reviewed the situation to determine whether we were in full compliance with the pertinent Internal Revenue Service regulations,” Kreitzer wrote. “As a result of this review, we determined that per diem needs to be treated as income, requiring a revision of W-2 forms for any affected employees.”

The new determination by administration officials won’t affect state lawmakers, said Pam Varni, director of the Legislative Affairs agency.

Under IRS guidelines, legislators receive tax-free payments to help with living expenses while in Juneau for the legislative session — if their home is at least 50 miles away, Varni said.

The current rate, set by the U.S. Department of Defense, is $189 a day. That goes to everyone except the three Juneau-based legislators, who get smaller payments that are taxed as compensation.

Legislators can also charge the state $150 a day for time spent on state business when the Legislature is not in session, but those payments are taxed as income, Varni said.

Begich’s situation came to light through a political survey released last week by Politico about senators and their taxes.

Fifty-five senators, including Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, didn’t answer the questions, and a few others owed money but didn’t consider it “back taxes” for one reason or another.

On his way out of a meeting with veterans on Monday, Begich answered a few questions about the back taxes he paid on a vehicle provided to him by the city when he was mayor.

“I refused the car the first 10 or 12 months,” Begich said. “I didn’t want the car.

“Then they told me I had to have it because of liability and a need and security and blah, blah, blah. So I ended up getting a used car. The first time a mayor has gotten a used car.” It was a former police SUV.

The tax obligation came to his attention in late 2007, as he remembers it, after a regular IRS audit of city issues. The city then sent him revised tax statements.

“They gave me a letter and said you got to pay taxes on it. So they revised my W-2s.” He wouldn’t say how much he owed. “It’s irrelevant,” Begich said.

Generally, people are supposed to pay income taxes on the value of an employer-provided vehicle that is for personal use. Police vehicles are among the exceptions — officers can drive them home and not be taxed on the value of the commute.

There’s no specific exception in the law for mayors or governors. Palin has had a state Chevy Suburban.

Begich said a mayor is always on the job. No other Anchorage mayor ever had to pay income taxes on a city vehicle, he said.

“That’s the point. I’m always on call. Always. … And I think that’s what the city’s view was, for the city manager and me, was that we were always on call,” Begich said. “But the IRS viewed it differently.”

“After that issue came up, I got rid of the car,” Begich said. He was in a downtown parking lot getting into the Toyota Highlander hybrid he bought in late 2007 to replace the city rig.

The Politico story about the survey said his situation echoed that of Tom Daschle, who had to step down as President Barack Obama’s pick for health secretary after revelations about back taxes, including taxes owed for a limo and driver.

“For Politico to say it’s the same as Daschle — that’s bunk,” Begich said.

My goodness… I thought only Democrats picked running mates and cabinet members with tax problems. FIX NOISE and the other right wing mouthpieces got it wrong again. Go figure.

I’m not seeing too many right wingers in defense of Sarah anymore . . . Probably too many facts slapping them in the face. Seems to be nothing more than a Dan Quayle with a pony tail only much more deceiving! And you idiotic right wing wackos thought the public couldn’t see through this B.S. No wonder the Regugs got shellacked in the elections!

Dear Annie…listen to his speech to find out what makes “us” so angry about it?

Let me tell you what made me angry about it…Annie!

The word “coward” is not applicable when applied to an American.

The word “coward” has no place in the American history.

We are a nation of men/women of courage and perseverance who have fought more than one war on many fronts.

One of them was the civil rights front. Many strong “white” men/women went to bat for the black man when he was being put down. Many of them gave their lives for that cause.

Many wars were fought before we even became a great nation…so that we could be free from tyranny of another nation that sought to enslave us.

Another war was fought to free black men/women who were in enslavement because their own people in their own countries in Africa freely sold them on the open market for money.

Do not ever use the word “coward” when speaking of Americans…that word doesn’t even apply!

In addition, Eric Holder is race baiting…something that is extremely unattractive to someone who is to “head up” our justice department.

He should be fired…immediately!

===============================

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN THE SOCIALIST “REIGN OF BARRY HUSSEIN” AND HIS ILL INFORMED, UNINFORMED FOOLISH FOLLOWERS!

Sean R.   February 19th, 2009 - 10:51 am

Byron,

Since you claimed that blacks happend to be “racist”, dude, it’s “black-liberals” who are the REAL RACIST here, I’m a black-male myself, and I am NOT no racist, and I also happend to be a “Black-Conservative”. The reason why black-liberals behave like this is because there being used and propagandized by white-liberals in order to vote Democrat, be dependent on the government and indoctrinate them to think that white-males are evil, etc.

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder!!!!

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 19th, 2009 - 12:47 pm

Dear Sean R…if you are really a true black conservative…I applaud you for thinking for yourself and expressing your opinion.

I also thank you for seeing the truth about the white/black socialist Democrats who are using and propagandizing all blacks, whether they be liberals or not, to make them victims again thereby making them dependent on the Democrats to get their bread.

This is the race baiting that Eric Holder did…he told the black community again…you are still being held back by whitey!

He ought to be fired and we should all contact the White House and tell Saul Alinsky Obama the same.

Americans…all Americans…stand up and speak out against the injustice of the socialist Democrats using the masses to spread their propaganda.

That is what this stimulus is all about…to get the ill informed masses to depend on them even more!

Only we in all communities in America can stop it by spreading the truth!

========================

JUST ANOTHER SLEAZY CHAPTER IN THE SOCIALIST “REIGN OF BARRY HUSSEIN” AND HIS MARCH TO SOCIALISM AND DEPENDENCE ON GOVERNMENT TO LIVE!

Sean R.   February 19th, 2009 - 1:11 pm

Eileen, I thank you for appreciating what I wrote in my last post earlier on today. Eileen, some of my relatives are liberals, but there the honest-liberals (similar to us conservatives), their not the nutjob-wing that blames whites for their problems and society for their problems, and be dependent on the government, etc. Eileen, the honest and smart liberals I can get along with, but it’s the “Progressives” who I cannot stand, most of them make my skin crawl and turn my stomach inside out.

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder!!!!

Dear Sean R…I too know many, many black people who are good Christian people.

However, Sean, I can tell you I was shocked…shocked to see and hear of black people who went against their basic convictions to vote for Saul Alinsky Obama…just because he was half black.

That disturbed me deeply, and I am sure it did that to others too!

I specifically read how many prominent black writers, journalists who were conservative and Republican said they were going to vote for him for that reason.

That made me sick!

To think they would cast their vote, for the devil just because he was half black was the most dangerous thing I have ever, ever heard.

And you know what, they did. They voted in this socialist who should have never, ever been our President. Who has an agenda to destroy our country from within.

I have never been against him because he was half black, and I don’t believe millions did not vote against him for the same reason.

He is a marxist, his friends were anti American, his background is Muslim and he is hiding his birth certificate…the very basic requirement of our Presidency is being held under lock and key.

And yet, black America and millions of stupid dumb, ignorant, ill informed, uninformed white people proved they were not racist by voting for this man.

I speak, I think, for millions of us to say we think this man is a sham and needs to be stopped…impeached…removed from the highest office in our land before he does major, major damage to our democracy.

We have the power to do it with our vote. The President is limited in his power…the Congress runs this country and we need to start working on the Congress and tell them to wake up and hear our voice…we are calling it out loud and clear.

This man is a socialist and he has a socialist agenda to destroy our country from within and he is on the march!

Black and white citizens need…need to get involved…I thank you for doing your part…let’s all encourage others to do the same!

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE!

IGNORANCE IS BLISS (BUT IN THIS CASE ITS BLACK)   February 19th, 2009 - 3:33 pm

EDUCATED IDIOT AND STUPID RACIST MORON!

ARE YOU TIRED OF THE RACE-BAITING   February 19th, 2009 - 4:49 pm

If you are tired of the RACE-BAITING going on with the Democrats, please TELL THEM SO!

Tell them it is time to MOVE ON and STOP HARASSING AND HARANGUING ABOUT SO-CALLED ‘RACISM’ IN AMERICA.

TELL THEM WE ALSO WILL NOT STAND FOR *ANY REPARATIONS*–WHICH IS CLEARLY WHERE THESE BLACK RACISTS ARE HEADED.

DO IT NOW.

TRex   February 19th, 2009 - 7:36 pm

I used to think that the prediction of 2012 was crazy (end of Mayan calendar, end of the world etc.) Now, though, for the first time in my adult life, I can honestly say, I’m not so sure. There are so many signs that point to the end of times. This is absolutely crazy. I am so angry that the good people of this country have let this bunch of inept THUGS desecrate the White House, the Cabinet and the rest of the government offices.
We have been dumbed down too far…..
What do you expect? When the inmates start running the asylum, you know we are in trouble. WAKE UP AMERICA!!! This is no JOKE! We are losing our rights, our speech and our freedoms.

Is Eric Holdem the only Kneegruh in the cabinet?

duncan   February 20th, 2009 - 12:07 am

Robert   February 20th, 2009 - 1:35 am

Gee…I wonder what direction Eric Holder will take the Justice Department?

I feel so loved and secure about my future with him in charge.
