Obama Sets Up America for Helter Skelter 2012 Summer

News Blaze ^ | 8/17/11 | Chuck Ness

When Obama won the election against John McCain in 2008; he did so with a majority of the white vote. That's saying a lot considering the United States is the only nation on the planet whose citizens willingly elected, as their leader, a man who hails from the very class of people that was once considered only 3/4 human.

So if we Americans have grown beyond our racist past, then why is the first black president going after communities across America because he believes they are racist for not having enough blacks and Hispanics living there? Why did Obama instruct his DOJ to stop pursuing civil rights violations committed by nonwhite Americans? Not my accusation, but that of a former leading prosecutor of the DOJ, J. Christian Adams, who resigned over the administration's refusal to prosecute black violators. Adams wrote in a commentary for the New York Times;

"Citizens would be shocked to learn about the open and pervasive hostility within the Justice department to bringing civil rights cases against nonwhite defendants on behalf of white victims. Equal enforcement of justice is not a priority of this administration. Open contempt is voiced for these types of cases.

If Obama really wants to be, as he said, the president of all Americans, then why has he not asked the DOJ to investigate the escalating black on white violence across America? After all, Obama claimed that hate crimes would not be tolerated by his administration when he signed the new hate crime legislation in October of 2009. I guess he only meant hate crimes against blacks, Hispanics, and gay people, because what is happening across America today is unconscionable.

thank you, my point exactly.

If your point was to expose the poor education system. Why didn't you state that. From all of the posters who are exposing your misstatement of the 3/5, I think you did a poor job of stating your point.

[Elendur]

good article.

...and if we have something like Britain
(the “Day of Rage” next month might be a warmup),
and people defend themselves with guns,
i think Obama would jump at the chance to declare Martial Law. “just until it settles down”.

after the past 3 years, i don’t underestimate progressives.

Congratulations - and good job!

"The south wanted slaves counted as a whole persons, not fractional, so that they would have more political representation."

They wanted the voting weight of the population to work on their behalf with legislating, but they didn't want to allow the blacks to vote.

Indeed, these flash mob attacks are looking like a dry run for election 2012.

I would encourage everyone who hasn't acquainted himself with the name Patrick Gaspard to do so. This native of Lumumba's Democratic Republic of the Congo is a major player in Zero's reelection campaign. He's shadowy character with deep SEIU ties in NYC.

The other side is going for broke. I pray that it doesn't turn violent, but we need to know what our enemies are capable of.

Good grief, you still don’t get why folks are correcting you. It’s NOT the number you stated, it’s because you perpetuate the myth that it was because the founders thought blacks were less than human.

No, the part of your comment I agreed with was the following part;

people who even know about the three fifths compromise think it was intended to denigrate black people in racist America

I wrote it in the way I did because that is what the blacks and liberals perceive as the facts. It is but a small portion of the point, and a side one at that.

The whole article could be written without it and the conclusion of my point would not have changed. I was not wanting to make a long column any longer by getting into the reason for them being counted less, so I left the reason out. In hindsight I now wish I had left the whole sentence out,

Believe me, it was not my intention to start a discussion with any of my fellow Freepers that have obviously become distracted by a unfortunate error in a historical reference I used. However, by far and large, 99% of those who read it will never give that one sentence another moments thought past reading it in the context of the purpose for the column.

Again I apologize for offending anyone's sense of historical significance over the percentage that a black person was counted, or at least black slaves were, but as I said it is but a distraction. One I now wish I had omitted.

Some day I will learn that my fellow Freepers will always point out an error when it is made in an article, regardless of how insignificant to the column the mistake is.

[rarestia]

Thanks momma! That means a lot coming from you since we’ve talked extensively in the past. FRegards to you and your brood!

[OneVike]

Yes, Obama has communist friends all tied into the leftists Un ions and Hollywood that will pull out all the stops to keep his ass on “Canadian Greyhound One”.

[OneVike]

Thanks, it’s good to know that not everyone was sidetracked by the 3/4 vs the 3/5 problem.

[FirstFlaBn]

A writer’s only asset is his credibility. The inability to get a basic fact correct undermines that lone asset. The attempt to minimize the error is perhaps even more revealing. At least you didn’t blame the tsunami or the Arab Spring. Editing today has been replace by Spell Check.

How can one seek to inform others when they themselves are uninformed?

[Scoutmaster]

Good luck with your new column. I sincerely mean that. Respectfully, i quit reading after the first sentence misrepresented the purpose of the Three-Fifths Compromise.

I know others have replied on the same topic. What bothers me is your response:

Some day I will learn that my fellow Freepers will always point out an error when it is made in an article, regardless of how insignificant to the column the mistake is.

Here's the deal. A columnist could start a column by saying: "The Republicans want to kill old people" as fact. Then columnist could write a totally coherent article. The first statement would be a mistake and insignificant to the column. I wouldn't know. I'd likely stop reading that column after the first sentence. Would you have a problem with the columnist's use of the first sentence as fact?

There's no merit in parroting what "black and liberals perceive as the facts" if they're not the facts.

That's just my two cents and mean as constructive criticism.

if we have something like Britain (the “Day of Rage” next month might be a warmup), and people defend themselves with guns, i think Obama would jump at the chance to declare Martial Law. “just until it settles down”.

Yea, wouldn't you know they are planning that to take place on my birthday, September 17? Personally I am very offended, as if I didn't already have a reason to be, they want to ruin a perfectly good day, my birthday.

In case your curious I will be a very young 55. Barely middle age, especially considering the men in my family have a good habit of living a very long time.

[stansblugrassgrl]

I noticed it but knew what you meant. Why sweat the small stuff. The article was hard hitting and to the point. It’s gets scary when a government institutionalizes violence and crime. Not a good sign in a democratic/republic.

[trumandogz]

“The south wanted slaves counted as a whole persons, not fractional, so that they would have more political representation.”

Except for the fact that they refused to extend voting rights to slaves.

[OneVike]

Your constructive criticism is accepted, and I really do appreciate the feedback I get.

That being said, I could have came right out an blamed the editor who's job it is to check the grammar, spelling, and any historical facts used in the column. Up until now I did not even mention it. Instead I readily accepted the blame as my own, because I should have checked my facts before sending it into the editor.

My continued defense is because of the repeated times I have been told by others about my error. I knew about my error within 6 minutes of my posting the article here. You tell me, "How many more times do I need to be told I was wrong, or why I was wrong"?

In the future I will be counting on the editor/proof reader I used before they took me on as a writer, instead of their professionally paid one. That way I will be ensured that the site will not fail to do the job they promised they would do. After all, them allowing my error to go uncorrected does reflect upon them as much, if not more, as it does on me.

This is it. Next Summer will be he great race riots and the long hot summer. He is going to push and push till we have a Boston Massacre incident and he will use it as the Rhichstag fire. I hope not but this clown has it up his sleeve...

I let my CCW permit expire a couple years ago because I had stopped carrying. I have a appointment at the state licensing office Monday to get it back. This flash mob thing is growing and I don’t want to show up at a gunfight without a gun.

Slaves, not all blacks, were counted as three-fifths of a citizen, not human being. Notice the word COUNTED. it was for determining representation in the U. S. House of Representatives. The southern states wanted slaves counted as full persons in order to boost the number of representatives from the south and thereby have more votes to fight attempts to end slavery. The compromise was 3/5. Free blacks were counted the same as whites.

---

That’s enlightening. Slaves, regardless of race, were counted at 3/5. Non-slaves, regardless of race, were counted fully.

The purpose of the 3/5 compromise is is the MOST important part of the issue, by not discussing it, you are misleading anyone who reads your posts.

The 3/5 was the percentage of representation that was allowed to the slave states for people that were disenfranchised. If those same people had been allowed a vote, they would have been allowed full representation. The point was that the slave states wanted full credit for the people who were held in slavery without giving those same people a vote.
