A GREAT REMINDER AT THIS JUNCTION IN AMERICA
You may have seen this one before - months ago - but it is
still a timely comparison, especially considering the progression of
anti-American events and 'laws' initiated by the White House and from some
state governments in the past two years.
I thought the comparison between these two
states makes for an interesting contrast - the first part about
Illinois and the second part is about Oklahoma!
Be sure to read till the end. I've never
heard it explained better. Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago!?
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ILLINOIS AND
OKLAHOMA
PART 1 - Illinois
"A State with No Republicans"!
Some interesting data on the 'state' of, the State of
Illinois...
There are more people on welfare in Illinois than there are people working. Chicago pays the highest wages to teachers than any where else in the U.S. Their average pay is $110,000 year. Their pensions average 80-90% of their income. Wow! Are Illinois and Chicago great or what?
Body count:
In the last six months, 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago.
221killed in Iraq
In the last six months, 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago.
221killed in Iraq
AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the
entire US.
Here's the Chicago chain of command:
President: Barack Hussein Obama
Senator: Dick Durbin
House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr.
Governor: Pat Quinn
House leader: Mike Madigan
Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike)
Mayor: Rahm Emanuel
The leadership in Illinois - all
Democrats
Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago
Of course, they're all blaming each other
Can't blame Republicans there aren't any
Let us get ALL the facts out while we are at it:
Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the
country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't
any!
State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in
country.
Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% highest in
the country. Can't blame Republicans - there aren't any!
This is the political culture that Obama comes from
in Illinois. And he is going to 'fix' Washington politics for us?
George Ryan is no longer Governor. He is in
prison.
He was replaced by Rob Blagojevich who is, by the way,
also in prison.
And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned and,
that's right, he and his wife both landed in prison.
The Land of Lincoln where our Governors and
Representatives make our license plates. What?
As long as they keep providing entitlements to the population
of Chicago, nothing is going to change, except the state will go bankrupt
before the country does.
"Anybody who thinks he can be happy and
prosperous by letting the Government take care of him better take a
closer look at the American Indian."
Don't forget Detroit, another great example of a
Democratic empire.
With all the bad news, there is hope, so let's go to:
With all the bad news, there is hope, so let's go to:
PART 2- Oklahoma
OKLAHOMA may soon have plenty of new residents!
THIS IS REALLY INTERESTING AND
TRUE... PLEASE READ IT!
Oklahoma is the only state that Obama did not win even
one county in the last election. Amazing - HONEST ELECTION RESULTS!!!!! Look what Oklahoma has been
doing!!!
An update from Oklahoma:
Oklahoma law passed - 37 to 9 - an amendment to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the state capitol. The feds in D.C., along with the ACLU, said it would be a mistake. Hey! This is a conservative state based on Christian values ... HB 1330

Guess what! Oklahoma did it anyway.
Oklahoma passed a law in the state to incarcerate all illegal immigrants and ship them back to where they came from unless they want to get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. HB1804. This was against the advice of the Federal Government and the ACLU. They said it would be a mistake.
Guess what! Oklahoma did it anyway.
Oklahoma passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all illegal's to the Oklahoma database for criminal investigative purposes. Pelosi said it was unconstitutional. SB1102.

Guess what! Oklahoma did it anyway.
Oklahoma passed a law, HJR1003,
declaring Oklahoma as a Sovereign state not under the Federal Government
directives, joining Texas, Montana and Utah as the only states to
do http://www.wnd.com/2009/02/89842/
More states are likely to follow: Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Carolinas, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi and Florida.
Save your Confederate money! It appears the
South is about to rise up once again. HJR 1003
The federal government continues its strong
efforts to take away our guns. Oklahoma passed a law confirming
people in this state have the right to bear arms and transport them in their
vehicles. I'm sure that was a setback for the criminals. The Liberals
didn't like it, but...
Guess what! Oklahoma did it anyway.
The state has passed a law that ALL drivers'
license exams will be printed in English and only English and no other
language. They have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that ALL
of the road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma, you
must read and write English. Really simple. By the way, the Liberals
don't like any of this either.
Guess what! Who cares! Oklahoma is doing
it anyway.
What about YOU and YOUR STATE? Has your state
reclaimed 'states rights' and told the 'feds' in DC to take a hike? Has
your state guaranteed your right to bear arms and transport them? Has
your state passed a resolution declaring its sovereign right to refuse illegals
any benefits including financial, voting and residency, and even to ship them
back home? Has your state declared that muslims, terrorism and
sharia law are not welcome and will not be tolerated? Has your state
declared to be sovereign? Has your state passed a resolution to secede
from the corporate 'government' in Wash DC and return to its sovereign
Republic status should conditions warrant such? Has your state reaffirmed the right to post
the Ten Commandments, hold prayer, read from the Holy Bible, and declare
that Jesus Christ is Lord?
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
Marijuana figures big in Ferguson meltdown
Marijuana figures big in Ferguson meltdown
Exclusive: 'Linking dope to
violence is taboo for most of the media'
By Cliff KincaidCNN’s Don Lemon is under fire for making the elementary observation that some of the Ferguson protesters planning violence and mayhem were smoking pot. Linking dope to violence is taboo for most of the media.
Reporting from the scene, Lemon said, “Maybe a minute, two minutes ago we heard a gunshot and watched people scattering. And we’re watching people on the roofs of cars, on the tops of cars and … Obviously there’s a smell of marijuana here as well.”
“Lemon’s comments sparked fierce backlash on social media,” reported Toyin Owoseje of the International Business Times. She said “many members of the online community” accused him of “adding fire to the flames and promoting his own agenda.”
It’s the marijuana, not Lemon’s observation, that added fire to the flames. He was just pointing out the obvious. Are journalists supposed to ignore the use of mind-altering substances by demonstrators planning the burning and looting of businesses?
That Lemon’s simple observation has generated outrage in the press demonstrates how most journalists are trying to play down the harmful effects of the drug and ignore the epidemic of drug use in minority communities. Our media, and some libertarian politicians such as Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. want everyone to believe that police who enforce the laws and the “War on Drugs” are the problem.
No, it’s the drugs and their consequences, including mental illness and violence.
Don Kaplan of the New York Daily News called Lemon’s remark a “culturally insensitive comment,” as if dope-smoking were something indigenous to Ferguson residents. He also called it a “useless observation” that “polarized critics” against Lemon.
Catherine Taibi of the always politically correct Huffington Post said the remarks sparked a “backlash” against Lemon.
Why so much outrage over a simple observation of fact? Aren’t journalists supposed to report facts?
It is apparent that Lemon’s critics were concerned that viewers might conclude that some of the burning and looting may be linked to the weed that some of them smoke for alleged “recreational” or “medical” purposes. The “backlash” probably came from other marijuana smokers, or those sympathetic to the demonstrators.
Lemon’s critics were obviously concerned that his observation of fact would put the protesters in a bad light.
But, remember that Michael Brown, who assaulted police Officer Darren Wilson, was high on marijuana as well. That is something else the media have tried desperately to downplay.
The idea that this “harmless” substance isn’t so harmless after all is something that the liberal media cannot tolerate. That’s why anything negative about the weed has to be suppressed. If it is reported, such as in the case of Don Lemon, the offending journalist must be ridiculed and ostracized.
The Lemon incident brings up another critical point.
Any reporter who reads the grand jury documents in the case and covers them objectively will note there was an extensive discussion of the possible effects of marijuana on Michael Brown.
DeForest Rathbone, chairman of the National Institute of Citizen Anti-Drug Policy, or NICAP, saw the evidence of dope playing a role in the confrontation between Brown and Wilson, and found a strange omission in the Washington Post’s coverage of the grand jury proceedings. In a letter to the paper, he wrote:
“Michael Brown is continually being described as an ‘unarmed black teenager.’ And that mantra prevails among the liberal media and government officials, enflaming [sic] violent reactions by people believing that the ‘innocent’ teenager was irrationally killed by police.
“But in a glaring example of media bias exacerbating racial tensions in the Michael Brown shooting death, Post reporters left out the key exculpatory fact in the grand jury finding officer Darren Wilson not guilty: The fact that Michael Brown tested positive for marijuana, which could explain his irrational violent behavior, not only in the convenience store which he strong-arm robbed while physically attacking the store clerk, but also in provoking the violent confrontation with police officer Darren Wilson.
“If it weren’t for the mainstream media’s reverence for the ‘sacred cow’ of marijuana, they would see the valid scientific studies showing that pot is currently being produced in varying strengths from a mildly intoxicating 2% THC up to school-shooter-psychosis-inducing 40% to 70% THC. And that early childhood use of pot is a major cause of psychosis and violent behavior … which could be the ‘unknown motive’ frequently cited in news articles on the Ferguson affair.”
Rathbone’s reference to the “unknown motive” is the discussion we have seen on CNN and other networks expressing surprise that Brown would have charged or attacked Wilson. Being stoned on pot, as Brown was, explains his behavior. Many notorious cases of violence have been linked to the drug in the past.
Rathbone said Attorney General Eric Holder’s suspension of enforcement of federal drug laws against marijuana in “Stoner States” has resulted in “producing and shipping brain-destroying, violence-inducing strains of pot throughout the nation.”
“Therefore,” he adds, “it’s not the police, or white racism, that is causing this devastation; it is U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder who turns a blind eye to the malignant impact of marijuana and then tries to blame everybody else for the resulting social chaos.”
Rathbone urged “responsible journalists” to focus on the problem.
But that’s clearly not going to be the case. After attacking Lemon for mentioning the smell of pot amidst the protests, some in the media have decided to attack the prosecutors for even bringing the subject up before the grand jury.
Anthony Zurcher of the BBC questions the role of marijuana in the attack on Wilson and quotes Jacob Sullum of Reason magazine as his authority in saying the dope couldn’t have played a role.
Jacob Sullum is a libertarian who favors legalizing dangerous drugs, and once wrote an article on why heroin is supposedly less dangerous than alcohol and how people can use the drug without harmful effects. He has compared heroin to nicotine. “Even daily opiate use is not necessarily inconsistent with a productive life,” he wrote.
However, there are some reporters beginning to cover the subject objectively.
Rathbone points out that Kevin Torres, a reporter for KUSA in Colorado, where marijuana is legalized, has done a balanced story on the issue, noting that researchers from Harvard and Northwestern University recently found “younger marijuana users are more likely to have learning and mental health problems.” He cited an article from the New England Journal of Medicine showing high THC use being linked to paranoia and psychosis.
Michael Brown was not only high on THC but was apparently preparing to smoke more dope when Officer Wilson caught him walking down the center of a street and asked him to move to the sidewalk. The swisher sweet cigars Brown had stolen from the convenience store are notorious for being used to make marijuana “blunts.”
Our media are desperate to maintain the narrative that the police are shooting black youth for no reason. If the media admit that marijuana is being used extensively in the black community, that fact could lead to other disturbing questions. For example, did Brown’s mother and father know about his drug use? Did they do anything to stop his use of the drug? Have they used drugs themselves?
You and I know these questions won’t be asked because they are considered to be “culturally insensitive.” So the problem will get worse.
Such questions might prompt some serious scrutiny of the Obama/Holder policy of encouraging drug use in America’s communities by failing to enforce federal laws against the possession or distribution of dangerous mind-altering substances.
Drug use helps explain the violent conduct of Brown, as well as some of the protesters. It also explains why they continue to blame Officer Wilson for Brown’s death when the evidence shows that Wilson was only defending himself against what he described as a “demon” coming toward him.
Reporters like to laugh about the old “reefer madness” film depicting crazy conduct resulting from marijuana use. It’s not so funny anymore.
