“The End…”, and “The Beginning…”

Good morning!

Kusma: Like I said earlier, I wish I had something better to write. I HOPE you and yours are well.

Sarah: What happens when that day will come, I’m not sure. But according to Pat Buchanan his day of doom will be 2041, where he claims will be the “end of white America”…whites being, as Buchanan claims in his new book, an “endangered species”. Here’s the write:

Pat Buchanan’s Gloomy Warning About ‘The End Of White America’ 

Pat Buchanan made a series of charged remarks about the racial makeup of the U.S. during an appearance on Sean Hannity’s Monday show.

Buchanan was talking about his new book, “Suicide Of A Superpower.” One of the chapters is entitled “The End Of White America.” Hannity said that Buchanan labels white Americans as an “endangered species” in the book. He asked Buchanan to respond to what was sure to be a controversy about the chapter, since Buchanan is never anything less than a lightning rod for his racial views.

“Are you against minorities?” Hannity asked. “Not at all,” Buchanan said. He said that the chapter was merely an attempt to examine what he thought would happen when whites no longer formed a majority of the American population.

“America is going to look very much like California right now,” Buchanan said, going on to paint a very gloomy picture of the state (bankruptcy, a “black-brown war among the underclass,” and so on), and claiming that, in Los Angeles, “half the people there don’t speak English in their own homes.”

Buchanan said that the people of color in California “are not bad or evil people,” but that they are bankrupting the state. He concluded, “What happens when all of America is like that, when every American city is like LA? …What California is today, America is in 2041 if we don’t change course.”

Buchanan then went on to discuss the voting patterns of various racial groups in the U.S. Noting that African Americans and Latinos vote overwhelmingly for Democrats, he predicted that the Republicans faced a dire future thanks to the current demographic trends. Buchanan seemed to think this was not a very good thing.

Buchanan, of course, is no stranger to controversy. Most recently, he drew fire for saying that African Americans were living on a “liberal plantation.”

Lisa: Thank you. Not sure how many “Brassy Moments” I have been dishing out lately, but when a moment that moves me arrives, the inspiration drives me.

Bina: How hard it must’ve been for you and your family not knowing where your brothers were all of these years. I HOPE that you don’t give up. I wish you and yours the best and may you find each other soon.

Al: Hey there. I am well thank you.  I have no reason to complain, but I still do. :)  How you?

I have no idea if what is happening in South Dakota is happening in South Florida, but my guess is yes, since so many states are not following the Indian Child Welfare Act.  It seems to me that this particular subject has really gotten you concerned. As well it should. I’m not sure what you can do to help, but if you are inspired to do something, I would check it out. How amazing it would be to help someone like Bina, find their siblings.

Howie: Thanks so much for posting such an important topic on this radical amendment. The passing of Initiative 26 in Mississippe would be devastating for women, and a huge step backwards in women’s reproductive rights.

Readers: If you live in Mississippi, don’t stay home – get out the word- VOTE “NO” ON 26 on November 8th. Everyone else, pass it forward. Sign the pledge to vote No on 26. We don’t want this initiative to pass in Mississippi, Florida or any other state.

Here’s Rachel Maddow talking on this issue a few days ago:

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Hcan: ”Occupy The Kochs” – Love it. Wish I was gonna be in D.C.

Queen of the Dark: Cute.

Peace out.

  1. Lost Says:

    I’m in a relationship with a woman who is perfectly carved like someone really took time making her. I can access minds and I have noticed that men who take the time to observe at her all think “I would really like to hit that,” or they experience an uneasiness that makes them feel she is dressed too provocatively, or her manner is somehow amoral in its presentation.

    I am beginning to wonder if she is a witch or something. I cannot curb my feelings for her. When I am around her, my thoughts constantly drift towards making love to her. When she is away from me, I want to hear her voice or see her or smell her or touch her.

    The desire is so distracting sometimes that I become momentarily paralyzed to the thought of anything but her until I tell myself “to get a grip.” Would you not qualify this as a witch or something?

    I am not the novice with women. I have had my share of beautiful women. Nor am I not without means of succeeding in bed with very attractive women. I can do it virtually at will. When I first met her she was just another in a long list of fine tenders I had experienced.

    So why does this woman hold such sexual power over me? At this point I cannot say it is anything more that pure lust for her. I have told her of the sexual power she holds over me. But she shags and acts as if she is unaware of her power over men. I don’t buy it.

    Making love with her is such a captivating thrill that while experiencing it one is caught between the desire to crawl up inside her while coming so as to dissolve and be one with the ecstasy and the impulse to pull out and check your surroundings to be ascertained that this experience is really happening.

    INCREDIBLE is a mere word when attempting to describe the pleasure between her legs! That leaves no english word or expression to adequately describe the total experience of making love with her.

    Hence, I can only say that the opening experience which begins with the palpating desire she creates when she enters the space that you occupied sanely prior to her appearance is the prelude to total delirium as your eyeballing her progresses into touch; kissing, caressing and undressing her, or just the thought of being able to do any of those things.

    One can be caught up in the dichotomy of not wanting to make love to her for fearing to blaspheme by attempting to violate the exquisiteness of such perfection while viewing her naked body, So you have to be careful not to take in her full nakedness before you spread her legs.

    While you are experiencing all these diametrically opposing emotions with the uncontrollable desire to enter her as quickly as possible before she realizes that you are not worthy of such bliss, she seems oblivious to her exquisiteness.

    Can anyone who has not experienced making love to this woman truly understand what I am trying to convey here? Let me try again. What I am saying that even while she is about to allow you to make love to her you cannot believe that she is going to or even should allow you who is so unworthy of such a privilege to make love to this Perfection of Nature.

    You do not doubt that the Gods themselves will open the heavens and cast you into the pits of Hell for such blasphemy. You must not put your un pure dick inside this Goddess carved by the Gods for their personal viewing pleasure.

    Am I bewitched or what? Once you are inside her, your only thought for the rest of your life is that “THIS IS THE ONLY THING I WANT AROUND MY DICK !” All other experiences become forgotten and the desire for another woman is remote as a desire to make love to your mother. Any relationship with another can be but platonic.

    Not effort is required for the feeling it is so natural to think of all other women as anything but a sexual interest as it is to breathe. Sex is but a thought of her. And sexual pleasure begins with the thought that she will be amenable to your desire for her.

    I don’t know why I am writing this. On the one hand I want answers to my obsession with this woman. On the other I would be satisfied with all that is if I believed that she would always be mine.

  2. Ruth Says:

    Interesting how the media finds ways to accept the racism of whites. Here racism by a white man is made acceptable by calling it a “lightening rod.” That’s supposed to mean to the rest of us the news media has a right to present them for debate.

    If an OTW expresses the slightest slur against the race he is attacked immediately as hateful and to be scorned. The racist Buccahann can be a “lightening rod for his racial views” and keep his day job at MSNBC.

    Candidates for any level of political office can do the same if they are racists whites and still be considered for election by the media and of course be elected by white voters because most could care less about the OTWs concerns having a bigot in office.

    As long as he is no perceived threat to the white race he is good to go. Their day will come.

    Pick a fight with a liberal on:

    LIBERAL DOUBLE STANDARDS.

    As Ann Coulter says, funny, isn’t it, how liberals want everything they dis-approve of banned (smoking, guns, practicing Christianity, ROTC, the Pledge of Allegiance) and whatever they approve of (abortion-on- demand, gay marriage, pornography, condom distribution in public schools, screenings of An Inconvenient Truth) made mandatory.

    ============ REBUTTAL ==========

    This one is easy;

    As Robert says, funny, isn’t it, how conservatives want everything they dis-approve of banned (abortion-on- demand, gay marriage, pornography, condom distribution in public schools, regulation of any industry, or corporate entity, taxes on the the rich, health care for everyone, screenings of any Michael Moore movie)

    and whatever they approve of (smoking, guns, forcing others to practice Christianity as they practice it, ROTC, but no adequate medical, education or job support for the military personnel when they have finish serving their country, if it means asking the super rich to pay more, the Pledge of Allegiance, but no real allegiance to the country if it means the rich or corporations have to pay their fair share, no regulations, to protect the environment or the people’ health if it interferes with busines ) made mandatory.

  4. Health info Says:

    THINK BEFORE YANKING THAT WISDOM TOOTH!

    Shortly before my next-door neighbor shipped her daughter off to college, she took her to an oral surgeon to have her wisdom teeth removed.

    The teen was not experiencing dental problems of any kind, but taking out wisdom teeth before they cause concern has become a routine rite of passage for many American adolescents, just as getting your tonsils out was in my generation.

    In fact, last year the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons issued a statement recommending that young people have their wisdom teeth removed regardless of whether or not the teeth are “diseased or symptomatic” –

    but personally I’m not convinced, and neither are a growing number of patients and dental professionals. To put it bluntly, I suspect a case of procedures for profit… and not for health.

    A WISE DECISION? DO THE MATH

    Some wisdom about those wisdom teeth: They are the third and final set of molars that most people get generally in their late teens or early 20s.

    Sometimes they grow in perfectly fine, but other times they’re impacted, meaning that they don’t have enough room to emerge from the gum or grow normally.

    They can be “fully” impacted (they haven’t yet broken through the gums) or “partially” impacted (they have somewhat broken through the gums — but not completely).

    Depending on the position of these impacted wisdom teeth, they might cause pain, inflammation of the gum and/or bone disease, along with damage to adjacent teeth.

    If those health problems occur, few health professionals would disagree that removal is warranted.

    But when it comes to taking out impacted teeth that aren’t currently causing any health problems — and don’t seem like they will in the future — it’s not so black and white.

    Data actually show that removing them may be unnecessary.

    The well-respected Cochrane Collaboration, a UK-based nonprofit group that analyzes multiple studies on a single topic, concluded from a review of numerous clinical trials and other oral-health data spanning 1966 to 2004 that prophylactically removing wisdom teeth neither prevents nor reduces the crowding of front teeth.

    The American Public Health Association also weighed in on the issue, observing that reasons commonly cited to justify prophylactic removal — e.g., potential gum disease and damage to other teeth — don’t happen often enough to justify the dangers associated with this practice.

    IT’S REAL SURGERY

    Like any surgery, wisdom tooth removal (whether the tooth is fully or partially impacted) poses health risks, notes Jay W. Friedman, DDS, MPH, author of The Intelligent Consumer’s Complete Guide to Dental Health:

    How to Maintain Your Dental Health and Avoid Being Overcharged and Overtreated.

    In the case of tooth removal, these risks are serious and include…
    Nerve damage, which can cause numbness of the lips, tongue and cheek. In most cases, these injuries are temporary, but in up to 1% of patients, they are permanent.

    An average of nearly three days of difficult recovery — which could include pain, swelling, bruising and malaise as well as absences from school or work.

    Accidental jaw fracture, damage to sinuses and/or other teeth and, in rare cases, death due to an unexpected reaction to anesthesia.

    Infection in the socket from bacteria or trapped food particles after surgery.

    Are you sitting down? Oral surgeons remove about 10 million wisdom teeth from approximately five million Americans each year at an annual total cost of more than $3 billion!

    According to the Cochrane Collaboration, only 40% of these extractions may have been necessary.

    Meanwhile, if even 1% of patients develop permanent nerve damage from wisdom tooth extraction, that’s still 50,000 people a year!

    CONSIDER “PERIODIC MONITORING”

    Dr. Friedman advises that if one of your wisdom teeth becomes repeatedly infected or damages adjacent teeth or you develop a cyst, tumor or abscess, then removing the tooth is a smart idea.

    But if a dental-care professional recommends prophylactic extraction, consider a more moderate wait-and-see approach.

    Everyone should have at least biannual oral examinations by a general dentist, who will monitor all teeth.

    And if your wisdom teeth have come in, make sure you reach back when you brush and floss to include them, which will help prevent them from becoming “diseased or symptomatic.”

  5. Thelma Says:

    I suppose when Buchanan mentioned the bankruptcy of California, it was convenient for him to leave out the fact that 8 years under republican Governor Swartznegger is what bankrupted California.

    Of course, if he had mentioned that, he would have to admit that Arnie was a white man imported from Austria to run an American State because no OTW was good enough.

    He would also have to admit that the state like the rest of the states that are bankrupt or on their way are run by white men holding the majorities in their legislative bodies and governor ships.

    But why allow facts to enter a bigots arguments.

    This poem was written to her dad by a 8 year-old girl.

    MY DAD

    He’s the best in the world
    And will always be
    One dad, only one,
    Will there be for me.
    He works and toils
    And never complains.
    But secretly inside
    Endures his pains.
    We greet him with joy
    When he comes home at eight
    From his labors to home
    Is a wonderful sight.
    When he plays with us
    We have such fun
    For he loves his two daughters
    And his dear little son.
    We’ll worship him
    Through sorrow and tears,
    And I’ll work for him
    For the rest of my years.

    Hafa adai;

    Men continue to put little importance on rape.This creep who raped a child on Guam and is a fugitive from New Mexico for raping another child gets house arrest on Guam.

    ======================================
    A man who is wanted for child rape in New Mexico has been allowed house release on Guam despite the objections of local prosecutors.

    Christopher Woodrome, 30, who is awaiting extradition to the mainland, was released on a $50,000 personal recognizance bond by Superior Court of Guam Judge James Canto.

    The judges orders require at least one court-approved custodian must be with Woodrome at all times, and he is forbidden to have contact with any female under the age of 18, said Carlina Charfauros, spokeswoman for the Office of the Attorney General.

    Woodrome must also surrender his passport to be released. Once released, he must visit with probation officers twice a week and call them every day, Charfauros said.

    Despite these strict conditions, the AG’s office objected to Woodrome’s release, Charfauros said.

    The strict conditions for Woodrome’s release are intended to keep him from becoming a fugitive — again.

    Woodrome has been wanted in New Mexico since December of last year, when he failed to show up for a court hearing after being indicted for child rape and kidnapping.

    According to an indictment filed in New Mexico courts, Woodrome is accused of sexually assaulting a pre-teen girl for two years. One of the girl’s relatives, former Guam resident Leslee Houston, has alleged the abuse lasted much longer.

    Woodrome remained a fugitive until last month, when the Pacific Daily News ran a front-page story that said New Mexico authorities believed the rape suspect might have absconded to Guam. Woodrome lived in Guam before moving to New Mexico.

    The theories were correct — Woodrome turned himself in at the Dededo precinct the following morning.

    Woodrome has been released on a personal recognizance bond, which means that although he does not pay any money prior to his release, he could owe the court system if he violations his release conditions. Woodrome’s custodians, or family members, can also be prosecuted if they allow him to violate conditions.

    Woodrome’s attorney, Mikaela Silkey, said in court last week that Woodrome hoped for house arrest so he could spend a more time with his parents before he is extradited to New Mexico. Assistant Attorney General David Rivera said he was communicating with New Mexico prosecutors to get the extradition process moving.

  9. MoveOn.Org Says:

    A new trend is spreading fast: individuals moving money out of the giant Wall Street banks and into community banks and credit unions.

    It’s a great idea because so many of us are customers who are outraged at how the big Wall Street banks crashed our economy and then raked in huge profits while the rest of us got squeezed.

    The idea is catching on quickly. Someone created a Facebook event and already more than 60,000 people have signed up to move their money on or before November 5. And we’re helping to make Saturday the 5th a huge Make Wall Street Pay day of action in cities across the the country.

    With so many people taking action, we need to make sure all that energy gets the attention it deserves.

    So we put up a new Move Your Money pledge that you can sign to make your personal banking choice count as part of the nationwide movement leading up to the Make Wall Street Pay day of action this Saturday.

    If you’re ready to move your money, or if you’ve already closed your account, you can sign the pledge by clicking here.

    By signing the pledge this week you’ll help show Wall Street, the media, and the public that our outrage isn’t going anywhere—and that the Occupy movement is only inspiring more and more of us to take action.

    If you need help we have resources and guides for how to switch banks, and we can help you find a great local or community bank. We can also connect you with new campaigns that are popping up everywhere to get groups, churches, schools, and cities to move their money too.

    These banks see the threat all this public anger could pose to their way of doing business. They know that if their customers start abandoning them it’s not only going to hurt their bottom line, it’s going to hurt their reputation even more and make it much harder for them to keep getting away with rigging the system and profiting at the expense of everyone else.

    And that’s the goal. We, the American Dream Movement, need to show that our anger and frustration is getting worse and turning into action at every level—including right on down to the choice of cards in our wallets.

    Join in this week by signing the Move Your Money pledge here:

    http://www.rebuildthedream.com/move-your-money
    Thank you for being a part of, and believing in, this movement.

  10. Human Events Says:

    Herman Cain has said he was falsely accused of sexual harassment while he was at the head of the National Restaurant Association, in response to a story in which two unidentified women claimed that they had settled with the association after alleging inappropriate behavior by Cain.

    Cain went on FOX News to say the allegations were proven to be baseless upon investigation.

    His campaign manager went on MSNBC and said Cain had never sexually harassed anybody.

    To date, Cain has risen in the polls because of his affability. His campaign, however, has been dogged by questions of organizational know-how and competence, particularly after a campaign spokesman went on Geraldo Rivera’s show Sunday night and bumbled answers that made the Cain campaign’s response less than clear.

    Here are six questions going forward for the campaign:

    1) Will Cain’s positive intensity score go down?

    2) How does this harassment story play out in the new media age, in which information and news (see: Cain’s political video ad in which his campaign manager smoked a cigarette) travel at warp speeds?

    3) Can his organization effectively handle this public relations crisis competently?

    4) In a GOP primary, how does innuendo of “inappropriate behavior” concerning a Black man compare with allegations that a woman is promiscuous (see: allegations against Nikki Haley when she was running for Governor in South Carolina)?

    5) Are there more surprises, allegations, or on the record statements by the parties involved that will come down the pike? And is the Cain campaign prepared for what may be around the corner?

    6) Can the Cain campaign, like a batter using the power a hard-throwing hurler provides, hit a home run by turning this around as an attack on him by the establishment and the mainstream media?

    This may endear him more to voters in a cycle in which distrust of the political establishment and the permanent political and legacy media classes seems to be at an all time high. Or, like many hot-shot prospects who were unable to hack it in the big leagues, will this be the dreaded curve ball that he will be unable to hit?

    Bank of America just announced that it will drop plans to charge its debit card holders a $5 fee to use their card.

    That’s because you, and tens of thousands like you, got fed up and said “no” to this final affront. You said, ‘we can take our money elsewhere.’

    Your public protest gave momentum to a growing movement among consumers to transfer their money from the big banks to credit unions and smaller community banks.

    And the big banks heard you. Last week, JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, SunTrust Bank, and Regions Financial halted plans to charge monthly debit fees. Bank of America was the only hold out. An hour ago, Bank of America cancelled its fee, too.

    What an amazing victory!

    And its more than just this one fee. The public backlash over debit card fees will serve as a wake-up call to banks that they can’t take their customers for granted. While banks may come back with other fees in the future, they’ll be gauging public reaction carefully.

    Enjoy your victory today. The money you keep in a bank is yours. So make sure that your bank is working for you, and not just for its investors. If you decide your bank is not working for you, you do have options.

    Found,

    She called and mentioned something or another then she asked if Lost was me. I thought I should read it again before I admitted to the post. After all when I wrote it I was in a delirious state of want. Not lustful want just wanting to have her nearer than she was at the time.

    I’ll tell her later.

    Thanks, I suspect it is love, but either way one can’t help but enjoy the ride.

    I agree with Howie. It was amazing. If only we could get that kind of effort at the polls. We could stop those crooked republicans in their tracks.

    I was rambling through a predecessor’s notes and there, I found this one titled “a note to me.”

    It said “the first time I heard her voice was over my answering machine. It sounded like the solo of a french horn playing the opening lines of the song Begin the Beguine.

    Like soft water over hard rocks. I asked myself, will I find the owner as enticing? I called her and heard it fresh. The rhythm, the tone, the burst of laughter, I wanted to step inside that voice and never leave. I was in love!”

    While you boys are having your fun let me tell you about a strange fellow I met.

    We were sparing about the heat between us. Our partners, my date and his had left together to dance. So we looked into each others eyes and he said. “You come on all hot to fuck me, but you don’t really want the meat, you just like the game.”

    I smiled and said, “you’re wrong.”

    He said, “you pretend to be the ocean, vast, free, available, however, you are a swamp, you just want to suck men into your world and drain the life out of them.”

    I said, “nice imagery, David. I’m a sensualist. But, I know that love is so much more complicated than sex.”

    That happened in 1986. We have been happily married for 21 years. We have three kids in college and David has been my husband, my lover, and best friend through it all.
