Rick Sanchez Fired From CNN

Does anyone read the comments on some of the yahoo stories? Whenever a story like the one posted on Sanchez getting fired from CNN for his comments against Stewart, the racist people come out of the woodwork.  I don't agree with making racist comments about anyone, joking or not joking. Sanchez has a right to voice his opinion about not liking the comments made by Comedy Central's John Stewart. But, maybe he should have went about it differently. In a way he was being racists, by referring to the Jewish as the "Jews". If your going to make a statement about racist comments by others, leave the slang out and don't bash other races. Racism is still alive and as strong as ever. Maybe someday people will learn to co-exist together without making everything about the races.

The KKK is on the rise in Michigan

Jeff Schoep has led the Nazi, Hitlerite National Socialist Movement (NSM) for years. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) quotes Jeff Schoep as stating: “”The Constitution was written by white men alone. Therefore, it was intended for whites alone… When you put on your NSM uniform, you are not just representing the NSM but all National Socialists that fought and died for our Race and our Cause! You are showing the Jews and the rest of the world that our Fuhrer is not forgotten and that his life’s struggle was not in vain… All non-White immigration must be prevented. We demand that all non-Whites currently residing in America be required to leave the nation forthwith and return to their land of origin: peacefully or by force. ”

See the KKK for who they really are & don't be fooled

The KKK is on the rise in Michigan and has been since 2007. The KKK has been successful in recruiting new members due to the loss of jobs in Michigan and a rise in crime. The KKK fools new members into thinking they are a group who promotes “uplifting and bettering our race.” Many desperate people fall for their lies. There are a total of five active groups across Michigan. The KKK claim many Americans have been forced out of jobs due to the rise in illegal immigrants who have migrated here and are willing to work for less wages than the average American citizen. They are successful in taking the American workers discontent and channeling into racism. Phil Lawson, the imperial wizard of the United Northern and Southern Knights, the largest KKK group is located right here in Michigan. Phil Lawson is claiming the Klan is growing in astounding numbers. The KKK are drawing people in because they seem to be saying things that seem to make sense to those who have been victims of Michigan's jobless rate. Some Klan members claim, they are not racist, they are affirming their Christian beliefs and use Christianity to recruit members. The KKK has seen a tremendous growth in Oakland and Macomb Counties in Michigan. Klansmen gather at white power music concerts or socialize at so-called unity rallies’ with other white supremacists, as to participate in ritualistic cross burnings in the rural wilderness. Parents be cautious of the music your children are listening to, who they are hanging out with and where they are going. Teenagers who's families are members of the Klan try to recruit other teenagers to join. The KKK is a valid threat to our communities, they have managed to voice their opinions in debates and have a history of using violence.

Assistant State Attorney General for Michigan, Andrew Shirvell Openly Bashes Gay Students Openly Expressing Their Sexuality

The assistant state attorney general for Michigan, Andrew Shirvell has created a blog devoted to discrediting the University of Michigan's student body president, who is openly gay. The state protects employees rights to openly express their political opinion during off hours. Shirvell has started an all out war in his blog against college students openly expressing their sexuality. Assistant Attorney General Andrew Shirvell has called student Chris Armstrong a "pervert" and "Satan's representative" on his blog, and admits to protesting outside the 21-year-old's home. He may be able to openly express his political views on off time, but I think protesting outside of a students home should be considered a hate crime and harassment. I am so tired of politicians thinking they can do or say anything they want to and get away with it. Too many politicians think they are invincible. It's time for somebody to do something about it. Andrew Shirvell should be fired from his job and made an example of.

Zzzzzz.... Facebook & Myspace Revenge

Something that really amazes me is how people change once they're online. People say things on Facebook and Myspace they normally wouldn't say if they we standing face to face with someone.  They are hiding behind their computer safely snuggled in their homes or their jobs, wherever they may be and they feel free to openly bash others or just say stupid shit online. Don't take it personally, I'm not talking about anyone in particular, nor have I recently experienced it.  I just happen to notice all the crap people post on their status to piss off others. Facebook and Myspace are to bring people together, it is kind of childish to use it to fulfill your personal vendettas.  Seriously people, people really don't care about all the drama you decide to create as you hide behind your computer.  We just sit back, laugh and think "Wow, their life must be really boring." It just isn't isolated to a particular age group.  It's parents and grandparents too.  I'm sure, they have told their children as they were growing up not to do such things as tearing down others. But, they hop online and do the same thing they tell their children and grandchildren not to do. The kind of behavior you expect from children and teenagers.  But, adults? Shouldn't you be more grown and mature than that? Come on people, Myspace & Facebook is supposed to bring people together, not tear them apart. I don't want to read about someone ripping on someone else and trying to publicly humiliate another person. I want to read about the positive things going on in your life, like "I got a job, we're having a baby, my kid just painted the walls." Even if your just having a bad day. Here's a little food for thought, happiness, pleasure  or self confidence doesn't come from external factors. That is only a temporary fix. True happiness and confidence comes from within, until you learn how to find it from within yourself, you will never truly be happy or self-confident.  Hatred and anger is some really heavy baggage to carry on your back. Lighten the load a little and learn let go.  Please try and remember it is only as real as you make it. Please don't take offense. :)

Granholm has her eye on your unclaimed money.

Granholm signed a bill to reduce the State of Michigan's debt. State of Michigan has $208 million dollars of unclaimed bank accounts, payroll checks and safety deposit boxes and they have their eye on the money the reduce their debt.  The time that residents have to claim their forgotten property would be reduced to three years. After that, the unclaimed money goes into the state's general fund. Previously, financial institutions had between five and 15 years to turn over the contents of dormant accounts or safety deposit boxes. Taking unclaimed money from the residents of Michigan is not the way to go about this.  Because, I am sure they are not going to put too much effort into contacting you to let you know you have unclaimed money just lying around when they can get their hands on it. In all the budget talk, I have not once heard the concept of cutting back on their pay or expense budget as part of the solution. No, I'm sure that won't solve the problem. But, it's a start. You would be amazed to find out what government officials spend our money on. Personal jets, redecorating their office on a regular basis or when a new politician steps in they are given money to redecorate their office, big parties and events for schmoozing. When Jimmy Carter was President, he proved how much money politicians waste. If Jimmy Carter can do it, so can they in tough economical times.
