We got a few snow flurries yesterday here in Dalian. I much prefer cold weather to hot weather, but even I am getting a little tired of this. It is supposed to get into the 50s next week, so maybe spring will arrive soon.

Baseball season will begin in less than 2 weeks. There is not much reason to be excited about it. The Astros are going to stink, and the Rangers aren't going to make it back to the World Series again. I do appreciate something the Astros recently did. This is the 50th year of their existence, so one of the things they are going to do in celebration is to wear some of their old-time uniforms, including the Colt .45 jerseys of the first years of their existence. Well, that particulary jersey happens to have a gun on it. A few months ago, Bud Selig, baseball commissioner and first class sycophant who can't do enough to kiss the feet of political correctness, ordered the Astros to take the gun off that uniform. The Astros said no, and a long negotiation was held about it. Finally, MLB said "do what you want to." Astros management decided to take a vote of their fans to see whether they wanted the gun to remain on the jersey.
Do I have to tell you the outcome of that vote in Texas?

I said a few weeks ago that there was liable to be violence in the streets in America in this election year. And I still think it is very possible. It is what the left does, and the farther they move away from Christian principles, the more likely it is to happen. There is reason for it. Liberalism--leftism--is simply wrong. Its ideas are against moral and economic law and thus cannot work. But, having rejected Chrisitianity, liberalism is a liberal's religion and he won't give it up. So, since the application of his ideas do not work, but only produce greater division, corruption, and failure in a society, he has to resort to something else to try to get his way, and that's violence. Cower, frighten, and intimidate others into getting his way. In America's case, some people are eventually going to start shooting back.
Coming soon to an America near you.

Obama is actually liable to lose the election if gas prices don't go down. The Obama media can fool the blind about the economy (not) improving, but gasoline prices are something that people can actually see and feel and that can't be hidden under media spin. The Republicans are doing everything they can to ensure Obama's re-election, but he might lose anyway. But probably not. As Adolf Hitler once said, "There are no end of stupid people in the world."

Many of those people reside in the United States, of course, but Europe is full of them, too. It is hard to find a period in history that has produced as many incompetent, retarded, ignorant, and utterly dimwitted politicians as Europe has right now. It's almost unbelievable how stupid those "leaders" are. And it's a shame. Europe produced the greatest civilization in human history after Columbus (the apex was the country established by America's Founding Fathers), and they are doing everything they can to throw it all away. It takes centuries to build a civilization. It takes only a few years to descend into barbarism. The current Europe, of course, is Obama's model so it is not surprising to see America heading in the same direction.

Jesse Jackson: "Blacks are under attack." Yes, and they have been for many, many years from liberal politicians who need to keep blacks as degraded and confused as possible in order to win elections. And blacks keep believing people like Jesse Jackson and voting for Democrats. The tragic situation of the black population in America will never get better as long as they continue to vote for liberal policies--policies which, as noted above, cannot succeed. Barack Obama is not helping, of course, The man who was supposed to heal all wounds and bring America together has become the most divisive President in American history. Only the ignorant are surprised at that. It was inevitable, given his policies and beliefs. There ARE good people in the world, and they are not going to cave to error and wickedness. That is what is causing the division in America.
But whose fault is that? The people who believe in truth and righteousness, or those who introduce and demand error and iniquity?
It is way, way, way past time for the black community to stop blaming slavery, Jim Crow laws, white racism and anything they can think of for their own degraded, slop-filled lifestyle and condition. It is time those people start accepting responsibility and the consequences of their own actions, to quit fornicating and having babies out of wedlock, to stay in school and study, and start becoming productive members of society. We all have a dream of a united America, but Mr. King, if we judge your people right now by the "content of their character," it isn't a pretty picture. People simply cannot mock God and His laws and expect to prosper for long. What do they want anyway--besides more money from hard-working, God-fearing white people? How many more trillions of dollars are going to have to be wasted before enough is enough? When will liberalism learn that the problem is moral, not economic! (Liberals will never learn that, of course.) White people have actually been very, very patient and tolerant when it comes to black America, giving them time, money, special privileges ("affirmative action"), and even electing a black President. But nothing satisfies racial pimps like Jesse Jackson. Well, keeping racial division alive is the only thing that keeps Jackson and his ilk in the public eye. He does what he does for his own personal grandeur and glory, he doesn't care how many people are hurt by it, and he is a disgusting human being because of it.
But this is Barack Obama's America, and if you voted for him and continue to support him, then you have nobody to blame but yourself.
