Why I Don't Use "Reverend" When Mentioning Al Sharpton

When I mention Al Sharpton, I never use the title "Reverend." I don't
use that title because he professes to be a minister of the gospel of
Jesus Christ, yet he supports abortion. I can't get over that and
don't use that title that man has given him.

Stating that, I present this without further comment: http://bit.ly/xMlpao



Del. Emmett Burns and the Rev. Al Sharpton don't agree on the issue of
same-sex marriage—and that's putting it mildly.

The five-term Democrat who represents Randallstown and Woodlawn, had
some unkind words for Sharpton during an interview Thursday with
Kenneth Burns, a State House reporter for WNAV in Annapolis.

"Al Sharpton is a pompous ass," said Del. Burns, adding that Sharpton
"doesn't speak for anybody but himself most of the time."

Sharpton, a Baptist minister, recently released a video in which he
supported the passing of a same-sex marriage law in Maryland.

Del. Burns, a pastor at Rising Sun Baptist Church, opposes the bill
and in the past has sought to pass an amendment to the Maryland
Constitution defining marriage as being between a man and a woman.

Burns went on in the interview to criticize Sharpton's preaching credentials.

"What kind of a Baptist preacher is he?" Del. Burns said. "He has
never pastored a church. He's never had a congregation. All he does it
run around the country and suck up to big movie stars so he can preach
at their funerals when they die."

J.C. Watts and the Conservative Black Forum

This can be subtitled Why I Left the Republican Party.

Set aside 30 minutes and listen to the segments I'm going to highlight at the conservative Black forum that took place on January 23, 2012.

Go into the forum at 00:25:00 and listen to J.C. Watts speak. After you stop listening to that segment, wherever that will be, jump to 1:16:00 and listen to J.C. Watts speak again. Also, please note the comments by Starr Parker. From my listening, I think Watts and Parker are doing ideological battle with Watts placing part of the responsibility on the Republican Party while Parker wants to deflect that responsibility to liberals.

Kudos to J.C. Watts.

Why Does Baltimore City Have A NFL Sky Box?

From the Baltimore Sun:

A government watchdog group said Thursday that Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has politicized invitations to her office's Ravens skybox, and urged her to include more working-class residents.

"The mayor has made the choice to turn this into a political skybox and not the people's skybox," said Susan Wichmann, the director of Common Cause Maryland. "We call on the mayor, going forward, to use the skybox to highlight good work being done by people in the city. There's no reason why she couldn't invite the firefighters and the police officers and the good students and the teachers."

...

The stadium was built with $200 million in public financing, and the offices of the mayor and governor were given premium skyboxes as part of the lease agreement for the stadium in 1995.

O'Doherty said skybox tickets were not intended as a reward for campaign donations or political support, adding that the mayor invites people of all socioeconomic backgrounds.

I really don't care about the political games the mayor played with the seating in the sky box. The issue is, why the city of Baltimore continues to have a sky box in the first place? Especially since the current mayor won't pay a judgement against the city to lead paint victims. In fact, one set of lawyers have confiscated city property to settle the judgement!

Note This Destruction Is Coming From Congress

Note that this is coming from congress.

A House-Senate conference report this week called on the Administration to accelerate the use of civilian unmanned aerial systems (UAS), or “drones,†in U.S. airspace.

The pending authorization bill for the Federal Aviation Administration directs the Secretary of Transporation to develop within nine months “a comprehensive plan to safely accelerate the integration of civil unmanned aircraft systems into the national airspace system.â€

“The plan… shall provide for the safe integration of civil unmanned aircraft systems into the national airspace system as soon as practicable, but not later than September 30, 2015.â€

People are complaining about the Obama administration destroying the United States, meanwhile, congress is quietly stomping all over the Constitution and few people who are going after the Obama administration, say anything about this mess.

The Poor

Romney said he isn't worried about the poor because the existing social net is in place and if there are holes, he is willing to patch the holes.

The problem is, welfare doesn't eradicate poverty, it sustains it at a certain level. From my point of view, in the long term, that's not what you want to happen. You want the family getting welfare to be able to earn enough so that they no longer need welfare. The same thing applies for WIC.

I'm just saying.

Change of Registration


Going back to "non-aligned." I can't take the sanctioned and cheered insults to Blacks. If I don't take it from Democrats, why take it from Republicans?

Republican official praying for the death of the President vs praying for a change of his mind?

Enough!

Affirmative-Action Foe Is Facing Allegations of Financial Misdeeds

"He also said the group had reduced his pay to $850,000.

One reason Mr. [ Ward ] Connerly has been a particularly effective advocate is that he is black. Mr. Clegg said there were “few people who can do or would do what he does,†adding that it is hard to set a salary on a job that requires enduring racially charged name-calling from fellow blacks. "

Paula Deen and Crass

Paula Deen disclosed she has type 2 diabetes. Given the way she cooks, that shouldn't be a surprise. What, to me, however, was distasteful -- HAH! -- about her announcement was the disclosure that she is now the
pitch woman for a drug to combat diabetes.

In my opinion, that's just crass.

If Maryland Is #1 In Education

If Maryland is number one in education as is being reported, why do Maryland public colleges say half of Maryland high school graduates need remedial classes?
