Firenze Sage: Another Cosby laughter [race relations]

Cosby on race relations under Obama

Outgoing CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien asked Cosby if race relations have improved since Obama became president, and the star of The Cosby Show brought up the recent State of the Union speech.

“To see people sitting down and then they there are others standing and cheering ….  I think that we have people sitting there who are as bad as the people who were against any kind of desegregation.”

Firenze Sage: remember Robert B. Reich? [re Tea Party]

 

“Imagine a plot to undermine the government of the United States, to destroy much of its capacity to do the public’s business, and to sow distrust among the population.

Imagine further that the plotters infiltrate Congress and state governments, reshape their districts to give them disproportionate influence in Washington, and use the media to spread big lies about the government.

Finally, imagine they not only paralyze the government but are on the verge of dismantling pieces of it.”

Aptos Psychologist: Two dead cops & Obama plays the Blame Game

Who and why were two good cops killed recently in Santa Cruz, CA?  Remember the game of Clue? Who did it with what in what room? The game of Clue was acted out in Santa Cruz, CA.  We know who. Why it happened  will probably never be known.  Dead men tell no stories.   The man who killed the two good cops was himself killed.  As the game of Clue unfolds in Santa Cruz, CA the Blame Game  continues to unfold in Washington D.C.

Who did it to our Butler and our Baker in Santa Cruz, CA  with a gun outside a  home?  This is no kid game of Clue. Two good cops are dead.   Why?  Acts of a  person with explosive anger who slayed.  And, so  many  Santa Cruz  families and lives are torn.  A microcosm of national politics?   As the automatic budget cuts  kick in,   we have a Commander-in-Chief  and the Democrat party  who seek to  slay  with the  Blame game. And the Blame game  bring pain:  Four days pay not five for military families. Felons  loosed from  prisons. Threats  of dire consequences. In 2014 let’s vote the Blame gamers out.  For now,  we mourn our  Butler and our  Baker.

Alejo’s pro union pension exemption bill bad news for taxpayers!

Alejo’s “fix” to exempt CA bus drivers from pension reform

Santa Cruz county assemblyman  Alejo’s got it all wrong

You have it all wrong, Mr. Alejo!

We need reform of the transit system, not exemptions. We need a competitive transit system that people will use. In      Santa Cruz County, most buses are typically nearly empty. Clearly, people don’t want to ride the bus. It’s not tough to figure out why.

In San Francisco bus drivers make more than $100,000 a year. Thanks to outdated federal rules and union policies, they get these bloated salaries. Guess how many competent, unemployed people ages 18-30 would happily drive a bus for $20,000 a year? And accept benefit terms that the taxpayers can live with? Your job, Mr. Alejo, is to look out for the residents of Santa Cruz County, not the unions.

Firenze Sage: Such a dodderer! [Shirley Williams on Gaza]

 

Shirley Williams ignorant that all Jews left Gaza in 2005


Shirley Williams, Baroness Williams of Crosby PC (born 27 July 1930) is a British politician and academic. Williams also serves as Professor Emerita of Electoral Politics at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.

Shirley Williams told the audience that Gaza is ‘a slum’ and then went on to say the following:

‘It’s crowded out to the gills. It’s full of people struggling to find a box in which to live.
It’s full of people who see their land slowly eaten up by more and more Israeli settlements.’
—————————————————————–
Firenze Sage comments:     There is not a Jew in Gaza. Not a Jewish family, not a Jewish settlement, not a Jewish house, not a Jew. The place is – as the Palestinians have said they would like the West Bank to be if it comes under their full control – wholly and absolutely Judenrein.                jaj48@aol.com

Firenze Sage: Blame Israel ? [Gaza terrorist attacks girl]

Soldiers killed a suspected Gaza terrorist early Monday after he broke into a Jewish home and stabbed a girl before fleeing.

The IDF discovered a hole in the nearby Gaza security fence, and footprints from the area matched the shoes of the intruder, who had escaped to the Moshav Sde Avraham’s greenhouses after he tried to kill the girl.

Quick!  Read the New York  Times for a report on berserk Israeli female attacking greenhouse tender.

Dear old Dad [teaches his son that Romney = return to slavery]

Dad teaches son Romney will bring back slavery

Dear old Dad teaches son Romney will mean a return to slavery.  Kids say the darndest things. But sometimes they say shocking things.

On Thursday, 9-year-old Brandon did the latter when he was asked why he wanted President Barack Obama to win a second term outside a campaign rally featuring First Lady Michelle Obama in Daytona, Fla.

“Because if Mitt Romney win, we’ll be going back to the crop fields,” Brandon said, referring to the days of slavery. “We’ll be picking crops.”

The father can be heard off-camera laughing.

Firenze Sage: bumper stickers [and Eric Holder’s Justice Dept.]

Bumper stickers and the law

Watch out for what’s on bumper stickers!

The Department of Justice funded a training manual used in the State and Local Anti-terrorism Training (SLATT) program for law enforcement. Apparently certain political bumper stickers can put you on the “could be a terrorist” list, including opposition to the United Nations and support for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

 

Another slide entitled “General Right Wing Extremist” – depicts suspicious bumper stickers that should warrant further investigation by cops conducting traffic stops.

The bumper stickers read, “Know Your Rights Or Lose Them,” and “If You Love Your Country, the U.N. Is Not Your Friend!,” and “Get US Out Of the United Nations”.

Firenze Sage: FBI in Lybia [mum about Steven’s death]

FBI mum about all details re murder of Stevens

 

The State Department told reporters Friday afternoon that it won’t answer any more questions about the Sept. 11 attack on the consulate in Benghazi that killed four Americans until the investigation into the incident is complete.  “I’m going to frustrate all of you, infinitely, by telling you that now that we have an open FBI investigation on the death of these four Americans, we are not going to be in a position to talk at all about what the U.S. government may or may not be learning about how any of this this happened — not who they were, not how it happened, not what happened to Ambassador Stevens, not any of it.
