You Can't Be Christian And Against Health Reform.

No, your not.

Open and closed case to me.

I'm not a religious man, cant remember the last time I actually sat down and read the bible.

Same thing for the last time I went to church, but I did go on a regular basis at one time and I did read the bible when I was into the church.

And I recall an overall theme in the bible of loving thy neighbor, taking care of the poor, needy and sick.

At least in the New Testament if I recall correctly, that old Testament God came off like a bully).

That is the some of the blue print that Christians are supposed to follow when interacting with each other.

But like most beliefs, regardless if it's religious or politics, it all sounds good on paper but the execution is always suspect.

Communism?

Great idea until the Soviets got a hold of it.

Socialism?

Remember the Nazi?

Democracy?

Shopping list of offensives which this country is not exempt from.

Christianity?

The bible or the sword mentality backed by who is paying the most in tithe.

Islam?

Better that we don't speak on it.

No, all theories are brilliant on paper but man has always acted like Mr. Magoo when it came to following God's work or man's own bright ideas.



Health care reform is apparently no exception, the Public Option is a way to get coverage to those who cant afford insurance, don't qualify for insurance because of pre-existing conditions or are denied care.

Explain to me how that is unchristian like?

Hell, to me denying the public option is a sure fire way to go to hell if you ask me.

And the ones who are the most set against this care are the ones who loooove to evoke God's name every 5 minutes.

Hypocrites at their finest.

Now don't get me wrong I understand that there are some concerns that would give a Real Christian doubts, such as the abortion question which would be funded by the plan.

An idea that I personally don't think should have been added on to there so as to make the passage of the bill that much smoother.

I don't believe in abortion in many cases but the way I see it is a woman's choice and I let God to be the one to set the record straight on the issue when the finale day comes.

I just want to be warned in advance so I don't get caught standing next to them in line when the lighting hits.

But that's the only rational explanation I will accept from anyone who calls themselves a Christian on the matter.

And even than I do not believe in denying health care to so many because your worried about some irresponsible people taking the easy way out.

That's an issue that can be dealt with by reaching out to the communities and speaking to people about abstinence and protection.

So please remove religion out of this debate, leave race out of it, remove Democracy vs Socialism from it, (cause this country is actually a really big corporation not a a Democracy), instead focus on is it going to work, how much is it going to cost and what are the alternatives.

That's it.

Was it that serious?

You see stuff like this is why I don't Plaxico Burress from carrying a gun, you already have it tough as a black men from other murderous black criminals why the hell would we trust the cops to protect us?

Never underestimate the power of working at something you love it makes it that much sweeter when you make it.

Woman expelled after defending her boyfriend.

This is some Ole bullshit.



Fuck you to the University of Louisville.

Man was attacked by what is looking like a bunch of racist thugs who you admitted to your university.

Failed to provide adequate campus security.

Than have the audacity to expel her?!

I don't give a damn if she came out there with a gun how do you make sense of that?

Did they even investigate and expel the students involved?

Doubt it.

Big up to Ms. Jackson getting down like a champ.

Reason To Require a License To Have Kids Vol 5.

Kid's testicles probably haven't dropped yet and he is already getting a lap dance.

Life is going to be interesting for this little fellow and in return I am sure he will make life interesting for the rest of us.

I kept wishing grandma would walk in and just kick this hoochies ass Madea style but in this world grandma's are young enough to be getting into trouble themselves.

Fuck it.

Rocky Mountain Serial Killer update.

The news on the serial killer who is targeting black women in Rocky Mountain NC is that,(drum roll), that it has made the news.



Also that they are saying it is a serial killer, although I do not believe that is the official stance cause that should have brought in the FBI, I would think.

I wonder what the magic number is before they start calling a string of murders done by the same person to unrelated victims a serial killing?

What ever that is I am sure you would have to multiply that by 5 if the victims are black add another 5 if there women.

Good News Tuesday: Cheerleader to Doctordom

NBA Cheerleader Dances Way to Doctordom


After dancing her way through school, former Miami Heat cheerleader has Fabienne Achille traded in her pom-poms for a stethoscope.

From the Heat to the Hospital

A former Miami Heat dancer turns in her hot pants for scrubs.
The pretty 28-year-old paid her way through pre-med school at University of Miami by cheering on the likes of Alonzo Mourning, then turned her attention to the grueling medical curriculum at University of South Florida. The ballgame glamor made her undergrad days memorable, but it wasn't exactly easy, she says.

“It was a lot of hard work especially being pre-med," Achille, the daughter of Haitian immigrants, says of her dancing days. "But it was definitely a very very enjoyable memorable time in my life.”

The obstetrician is now finishing her residency, delivering babies at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami -- the facility where she was born.

Now here is a feel good story, just goes to show you what you can do when you focus.

HOW ABOUT SOME FOOTBALL!!!!!!!

I cant wait till the season starts I'm actually having fits.

Here are my top 10 Power rankings.

1- Patriots

Tom Brady is back, that's all they have been waiting for.

You would have thought it was the Return of the King, but after last year can you blame them?

This wasn't the same team with out him, and if he isn't rusty than the AFC has hell to pay.

2- Steelers

They had everything fall in place for them last year, it wont happen this year.

The D is just a tad bit slower and that means the O has to do just a little bit more, cant see that happening.

3- Bears

Jay Cutler is not as overrated as people think, yeah he doesn't have the WRs that he had in Denver but he wont have to chuck it like he had to down there either.

All he has to do is not screw up.

A hard thing to do when your missing pieces on O.

4- Giants

OK I confess I got them this high cause there my team but also cause no one in the NFC scares me.

But Eli Manning has no go-to WR, the Giants spent the whole off season ignoring that fact.

This year it's all about smash mouth football even more than last year, cause the truth is I don't trust Eli to go through the season having to win it with his arm, not the whole season.

5- Colts

Peyton is healthy everything is the same on the team especially his offensive coordinator.

6- Cowboys

I got nothing nice to say about them.

It's all on Tony Romo now, they are NOT a better team with out TO, TO wasn't the reason they tanked.

They tanked cause they didn't live up to the hype across the board, they better pray that the run game is as good as they say it is cause WE DON'T BELIEVE YOU.

7- Chargers

I hate even mentioning their name, if there is ever a team that knows how to choke on it more than Karrine Steffans can back stage at a rap concert it's the Chargers.

But you cant deny the talent on field, they can do it at will, when ever they get the will.

8- Panthers

Still the best team in the NFC South, and I'm sure they have something to prove after the playoffs fiasco were Jake looked like he was playing for the other team.

9- Titans

The only reason there on this list is cause they had that ridiculous run last year and got exposed as i predicted in the play offs.

Truth is they will be lucky if they get in by wild card.

10- Vikings

There on here for one reason they play in the division with the Packers, Lions and Bears who just got a brand new QB.

The only thing there missing is a QB themselves, all that flirting they did with Brett Farve was a kick in the groin to the QBs on there roster and now Jackson might not even be 100% healthy.

Two Words can turn things around for them though.

Mike Vick.

Movies I Want To See.

I haven't seen a good sci/fi movie in awhile.

Especially with a black star in it.

So I am looking forward to these two right here.

First up is a mix of two of my favorite genres, zombie and cowboy movies.



Wes is the only black actor who stays making action movies and thank God cause the new crop of actors are not convincing anyone that they can play a hero.

Number two is Denzel going back to an action flick, I cant remember the last one he did.


The Book Of Eli looks like a winner, hell I cant remember the last Denzel movie that sucked all around for me to justify seeing this one.


Now this one right here is a documentary about a topic that will never die so long as black people walk the earth.


I am curious how this will come off.

Is it going to ridicule the notion of good hair, the hair product industry?

Or is it going to play the academic role and just state the facts?

Chris Rock is fueling this so I am thinking a little bit of all.

The GOP Declares War On Sanity.

Fake Protesters At Health Care Town Halls


I knew the GOP could get low down dirty like no other cold war political propaganda machine but the tactics of late is out right would be despicable if it wasn't so pathetic.



Are you serious?

This is the best you can do?

Sending in town hall busters to spread chaos?

The Public Health care Option is what it sounds like, it is an option.

You can stick with your own provider if you like and if your provider gets run out of business because of the plan, guess what?

They went out of business because they couldn't compete with a better service and you were the last to know.

Welcome to capitalism which would be the opposite of "fascist" and "socialist" BS charges they the GOP have made against Obama.

You got to treat these people like certain bloggers.

If there ranting and raving about something yet are not offering an alternative solution or better yet not even addressing the issues there mad about, than yes they are full of it.

And you should back away from them slowly, do not engage in conversation about the topic with them, cause you cant win arguing with nuts, and do the research your self.

Start by going here to Health Reform.

Than there is this little gem right here.


Damn!

They didn't even try with this one, how stupid can you be?

OK this shit ain't funny any more, these quacks are trying to hold the nation hostage with there insanity.

They are trying to drag the country and than the rest of the planet into an abyss of ignorance and fear.

There is absolutely no rational reason for not having a public health care plan, and if your Representative is saying there is than I am going to call it like I see it, the bum is in the pocket of the lobbyists and he or she needs to be removed from office.

Don't let the suckers sucker you.

You are getting screwed and not in a way you like.

DO NOT DRINK THE KOOL AID!!!!!

RIP Naomi Sims

Public Service Announcement 10: MOMS

This is not about MILFs, (I'll save that for another time).

MOMS is actually a acronym for Missing Or Murdered Sisters, a group of residents in North Carolina has placed a digital billboard up in their community showing the faces of the the missing and murders of black women the city of Rocky Mountain (read here).

5 of the murders are connected which is a sign that there is a serial killer out there who is targeting black women with similar backgrounds.

The murders date back to 2005 and progress has been slow in solving the cases as well as very little public attention given to it.

There are a number of reason why this might be, first being that the women are all black.

In a society that sees very little value in the lives of blacks in general, even among our own, the sad truth is the lives of black women are seen as doubly cheap and thus expendable.

To add on to this the life style of the women, who struggled with drug addiction and engaged in prostitution, may have consciously or subconsciously allowed the public to dismiss the murders all together as something of a "natural" occurrence to people in that life style.

That type of thinking is cruel and dangerous.

These women were human beings first.

These women were someones mother, daughter, sister, cousin, and or friend.

Some one at one time or another loved them and will miss them.

No one can be certain what the circumstances in their lives were that led them down this path but I have learned over time a turn left instead of right, a choice taken or not taken, a choice forced upon you, can easily be the difference maker on whether you become a CEO or First Lady or a junkie and or worse.

What I am certain is that if given the right amount of time, attention, and help anyone can change, but these women were robbed of even that small opportunity, something they were at the very least deserving of having.

Surely their lives were worth that small price.

And despite the pattern who is to say that the next woman would not be a stand up citizen in society?

A single working mother on her way home from a long day at work.

A college student rushing to class to take her final.

A house wife shopping for the kids.

A young lady starting a job in the career she worked hard to get.

Whose to say it wouldn't be you?

That control is not in your hands, it's in the hands of a predator who sees you as prey.

He is the judge, jury, an executioner, playing God with someones life.

If not for their lives than what about yours?

I joke around about I thank God I was born a man but not really, it's hell out here for women and black women rank last in that category, that needs to change like yesterday.

Symphony from Essential Presence put me on this and has provided the links for contact info with the residents and to make donations to keep that billboard running.

I'm sure what ever you can spare would be more than appreciated, it could save lives.

That's all for now, back to our regularly scheduled debauchery.
