OUR NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT

TODAY IS MY 100TH BLOG. THE NUMERAL IS AN APPROPRIATE REMINDER THAT THE DEMOCRAT PARTY ACHIEVED A PERFECT SCORE, 100%, ON THE SHAME TEST AT CORETTA SCOTT KING'S FUNERAL YESTERDAY. IT TOOK ONLY 5 MINUTES OF REPORTING AT THE HANDS OF A RATIONAL TALK SHOW HOST, FOR ME TO HEAR ABOUT THE DISGRACEFUL DISPLAY OF POLITICS AT MRS. KING'S MEMORIAL HELD IN A CHURCH. THERE WAS NO TALK ABOUT SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE THERE, JUST AN EXCESSIVE REPRISE OF THE CAMPAIGN SPECTACLE AT THE PAUL WELLSTONE FUNERAL A FEW YEARS AGO. WHO WAS CENTER STAGE IN ATLANTA BUT OUR PERENNIAL, NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT, FORMER PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER. HE IS PERHAPS NOT ONLY THE WORST PRESIDENT OF THE 20TH CENTURY - WHY BE SO BLIND AND KIND - BUT ALSO THE WORST IN AMERICAN HISTORY. DOES HE EVEN KNOW WHAT AMERICA REPRESENTS? IF HE DOES, HE DELIBERATELY EMBRACES REVISIONIST HISTORY AND A COUNTER-INTELLIGENT BRAND OF PATRIOTISM.

FIRST HE ACCUSES GOD OF TARGETING THE BLACKS WITH DEVASTATION DURING THE RECENT HURRICANE KATRINA AND OUR PRESENT ADMINISTRATION WITH RACISM AND SEGREGATION. SUCH PANDERING TO BLACKS, INSULTS MANY WHITE VICTIMS OF THE DISASTER AND CONDONES THE VICTIMHOOD MENTALITY.

NEXT HE ACCUSES THE GOVERNMENT OF SPYING ON DR. AND MRS. KING AND RACIALLY PROFILING THEM. DID HE OR DID HE NOT COUNT ON THOSE GRANTING HIM AN OVATION FORGETTING THAT IT WAS YEARS AGO, UNDER THE DEMOCRAT ADMINISTRATION OF PAST PRESIDENT, JOHN F. KENNEDY, SUCH SPYING WAS AUTHORIZED? FURTHERMORE, IT WAS AUTHORIZED BY ROBERT KENNEDY, BROTHER OF THE PRESIDENT AND RELATIVE OF A PRESENT, DEMOCRAT SENATOR, TEDDY KENNEDY, IN ATTENDANCE AT THE FUNERAL SERVICE.

WHEN EGO TRIUMPHS ABOVE BRAINS, WE CAN EXPECT NO MORE OR NO LESS THAN NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT FROM JIMMY CARTER. HIS ATTITUDES - AND THOSE PROFILED BY OTHER LIBERAL, DEMOCRAT SPEAKERS YESTERDAY - PERPETUATE THE 'OLD' , OUTDATED CIVIL RIGHTS MENTALITY THAT PERVERTED MARTIN LUTHER KING JR'S CONCEPT OF EQUAL RIGHTS INTO DEPENDENCY ON GOVERNMENT. THIS ROAD WAS PAVED BY FORMER PRESIDENT LYNDON JOHNSON AND FOLLOWED FOR GENERATIONS WITH THEIR EXCUSALS FOR IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR. UNFORTUNATELY A SHADOW ON THE 'OLD' WAY FELL OVER THE SOUTH AFTER HURRICANE KATRINA. APPROXIMATELY 25,000 KATRINA REFUGEES LIVED FREE IN HOTEL ROOMS OR APARTMENTS FOR 3 MONTHS AT TAXPAYERS' EXPENSES. THIS ACTION OBVIOUSLY WAS DEMANDED BY 'OLD', LIBERAL DEMOCRATS. NOW THAT THE RENT SUBSIDIES HAVE BEEN TERMINATED, I HOPE THE 'VICTIMS' WILL JOIN THE 'NEW' CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT, THAT IS, THE ROAD TO SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND PERSONAL ADVANCEMENT, WHICH WAS BUILT AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED BY THE CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS. NEW TRAVELERS ON THE ROAD TO GLORY WOULD BE SMART TO LOOK FORWARD AND NOT TO THEIR WAKE. AND WHERE IS JIMMY CARTER? IN BLISSFUL IGNORANCE, STILL LIMPING DOWN THE "OLD' TRAIL.
