Paula Deen Go Away

The foolish Paula Deen is getting her just deserts; what with everyone that previously decided to pay her money saying they no longer wish to. Obviously they recognize the public is not with her, so all her prior associates are now decoupling their previously hitched wagons. If they thought the public was with Deen they'd be defending her. Do you think they really care about her using the N-word if they thought the public would forgive here and there was still money to be made? Absolutely not.

A lawsuit filed against Deen is how we learned she used a racial slur decades ago. She honestly admitted she used the offensive word in question. "Of course" she said. She also admitted to "fantasizing about throwing a slavery-themed wedding for her brother". She "apologized" for those things, but only because she was worried that what happened to her (corporate sponsors/employers cutting ties with her) might happen.

That is a clue that this all about the money. The lawsuit filer who complained about a racially insensitive workplace (as well as sexual harassment) is lying. A tearful Deen does not admit she allowed racially insensitive language and jokes in her place of business. Nor sexual harassment. None of that happened according to Deen.

So she says she is sorry for what she said during the deposition for the lawsuit she is defending herself against, but she isn't sorry about how she wronged the person who filed the lawsuit... because Lisa T. Jackson is a liar.

If you ask me who I believe -- Paula and her brother Bubba Hiers or Lisa Jackson -- I say Paula Deen is the dishonest one. So why did she tell the truth about using the N-word in the deposition? Because she didn't think it was a big deal. She said "of course". She thought she had a good excuse, as she said it about a man that had a gun to her head during a bank robbery. But why didn't she say "yes, but..." and then insert her explanation? Why did she say "of course"?

She said "of course" because racial insensitivity is no big deal in Paula's eyes. And that racial insensitivy is not a big deal to Deen is why it was accepted in her place of business. The lawsuit filed by Lisa Jackson, a manager in Deen's restaurants in Savannah GA, says "even though she herself was white, she [was] distressed by Paula and her brother's racist comments because her partner had a biracial niece".

If you ask me if I believe Paula Deen and that Lisa Jackson is a liar, I say "of course NOT". Come on, we all know Deen never changed. Just last year (according to Jackson) Deen said she'd like her bother's wedding to include "tap dancing little n***ers". Conservatives are saying ridiculous things like the Left wanting to stone or lynch Deen, but we don't want that. We just say she should go away. Take your millions (less whatever Lisa Jackson is awarded when she wins her lawsuit) and retire.

George Zimmerman Gets Away With Cold Blooded Murder?

George Zimmerman is a cold-blooded murderer who, if not convicted, will surely burn in hell. We know Zimmerman is a liar. He lied about money from supporters. He claimed he had nothing when, in actuality, he had over 100k in a bank account. He was caught speaking in code with his wife about the cash. He lied about his passport, claiming it was stolen so he could get another. Then he turned over the "stolen" one when the judge asked for it (the new one). The court said "why did you give us this passport you claimed was stolen?" But he didn't have a good answer. I don't understand why this wasn't brought up in the trial.

George lied when Sean Hannity asked him if he had ever heard of "stand your ground". Turns out he took a college class that covered it. A class in which the instructor gave him an A grade. So it stands to reason he lied about the confrontation between him and Trayvon. I certainly do not think he lied so much about everything else but has been completely honest about what happened when he shot and killed an unarmed Black teen. Trayvon is dead and cannot tell his side. George is therefore free to make up a story that sounds plausible and get away with murder.

Yes, I think Zimmerman planned on killing a Black male some time before he found the right target. Trayvon was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Zimmerman saw his opportunity and took it. Also, given that he was high on Adderall, he was probably quite angry about the a-holes who always get away. So he found Trayvon and pointed his gun at him. Trayvon, fearing for his life, decked him and started beating on him when he fell. But Zimmerman ultimately got the upper hand and shot, killing Trayvon in cold blood.

Many people I've spoken with think he is guilty but would not be surprised if he walks. Florida Republicans issued George a license to murder, IMO. Now Conservatives across the interwebs are theorizing that George may be murdered by some crazy vigilante Liberal. Perhaps. And I will not feel sorry if that happens. Even though I oppose people taking the law into their own hands.

Plus the Conservatives will surely make hay of it if anyone does; blaming all Liberals in existence. So I pray for no rioting or people going after George even if he is acquitted. Because, even if he does not pay the penalty in this life, surely he will have to answer for his crimes in the next one.

I Hate America. Happy 4th of July

As a Democratic Socialist Conservatives probably believe I hate America. I do not, although I do want to fundamentally transform it. The fundamental transformation that Conservatives say Barack Obama is bringing is total nonsense. The Blue Dog Obama isn't transforming America at all. Instead he supports the status quo. This is why we are still fighting a pointless war in Afghanistan. This is also why we never even considered a single-payer Medicare for all program. Supposedly Obama cut a deal with the health insurers to keep a public option off the table.

I think we need to be more like the more Socialist European countries; countries where nobody ever goes bankrupt due to medical expenses. I find it shameful that when free clinics come to town people who haven't been to a doctor in years line up like we were a 3rd world nation. We can do better and provide for everyone. Why does America worship wealth to such extremes? It is a sickness in my opinion.
