Racists, executions and the minimum wage

Race in America
Lex has noted that a lot of the racists in America are black.  Reference the “knock out” game/criminal assault.  While black race baiters complain about Donald Sterling, who at least did not assault anyone, black teen agers were beating a white kid on his school bus.  The only thing missing from the story is the assurance from the police that there was no racial motivation for the attack.  Racist Dope Congressman Bennie Thompson let lose a long racist diatribe equating disagreement with King SFB and Eric the wad Holder’s backazzward economic, criminal, legal and foreign policies with being a raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacist.  It makes no difference what eff up total failures those policies are.  If you disagree you’re a raaaaaaacist.  Period.  That’s weird because SFB and the wad are themselves such racist BS artists.

Need the proof again?  Briefly then.  King SFB sat in Rev? Wright’s church for 20 years.  He didn’t wander in one Sunday and hear a typical anti-Semitic, anti-white, anti-American rant found in that church? and say, “Whoa, that’s racist.”  He sat there with his family for TWENTY YEARS.  He only dumped Rev? Wright when the Rev? became a political liability or he’d STILL BE SITTING THERE.

For the wad’s part, he refused to prosecute a voter intimidation case against the New Black Panthers and famously called America a nation of cowards for NOT talking about race.  Huh?  That’s all we’ve talked about since I can remember.  We haven’t gotten very far on the subject because race hustlers and the Dope party need to maintain the status quo to garner 96% of the black vote.

Also, both SFB and the wad are fellow travelers with race hustling charlatan Al Notso SHARPton who once famously dropped this gem of ignorance on us:

“White folks was in caves while we was building empires... We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.”

As difficult as it might be, ignore the broken English, which is supposedly Notso’s native tongue.  Was it astrology or astronomy? Does he even know there is a difference?  No, he doesn't.  Idiot.  Is empire the right word?  As in Soviet empire, Roman empire, etc. which is sort of conquering people and forcing them to live under a rather harsh set of rules.  Idiot.

Notso’s comments Mr. and Mrs. America are very Donald Sterlingesque - straight up racism and homophobia.  But yawn.  The lapdog media has designated race baiting douche bags Revs? Hymietown Jackson and Notso SHARPton “leaders” for the black community.  As such, they cannot possibly be racists.   No matter how totally racist they in fact are.

For his part, Bennie Thompson is as racist as the black teens beating the white kid on the bus.

Botched execution
The state of OK botched the execution of convicted murderer Clayton Lockett.  Is botched the right word?  After all Lockett did end up dead, which was the intent.  So…  Well anyway, Lockett probably deserved to die for the heinous way he killed his victim Stephanie Neiman – burying her alive.  The ruling class has their shorts in a wad because Lockett suffered a bit before dying.  Some people’s reaction to that news is - good.

The investigation into Lockett’s death centers on the drug cocktail used in the lethal injection.  That reminds me of the SNL skit where all of the James Bond 007 villains are on a panel.  The question comes up, what would you do differently?  One says, "Just kill him.  No shark tanks.  No slow moving death rays.  No tying him to the tracks for the next train to run him over.  Just kill him."  The others agree.  If SNL can figure this out, why can’t the swells in government?

Why do we have these Rube Goldberg drug cocktails?  For goodness sake we can put a man on the moon but we can’t kill a criminal who desperately needs it.  I read a while back the most effective and humane way to kill a person is carbon monoxide poisoning.  The guy just goes to sleep and dies.  Just kill them.  Strap them in the back seat of a car, run a $3 garden hose from the exhaust through a window and start the engine.  Is that not high-tech enough?  No high suspense pictures of plungers of different colored drugs being administered to the prisoner.  To paraphrase Sherman (General Sherman not Mr. Peabody's tag along), execution is hell.  It cannot be refined.  Firing squads, beheadings and hangings have worked for centuries.  If the state doesn’t have the stomach for such things, maybe it shouldn’t be in the business of killing its citizens.

Minimum wage
A minimum wage bill died in the senate yesterday.  Good.  What business is it of the senate what some guy in Iowa pays another guy to swab the deck of his shop at night?  Why in the world would anyone with a brain think such a federal scheme would work or was good thing?  Even if it is a good idea, should the minimum wage for a guy in the back woods of Montana be the same as a guy trying to eek out a living in NY City?   Wouldn’t min wage, like most things, be better solved at the state level?   Why national?  All power to Caligula D.C.  That’s why.

From the Griffin....
The lowest wage for me, not including the forced labor imposed by my parents, was 25 cents/hour. I was 13 years old. I moved dirt for Goldie Shaw, mother of Damon Shaw Jewelry, in CW, Ohio. I worked 40 hours per week for four straight weeks, praying for football two-a-day practices to start. The experience was never forgotten. To this day I cannot see a wheel barrow and not think of it and not cringe. At that age I did not know what a career was, but I did know it not be in moving dirt. I support no minimum wage. 99% of people getting a minimum wage are teenagers and students. Making a subsistence living flipping burgers should not a societal goal. It should be to teach a young person how to make a good burger, interact with others, and NOT to be able to subsist. Life's lessons are hard and best learned young. Burger flipping was never meant to be the end of one's career path, getting overpaid, and creating more unemployment for 16-20 year olds.
