Quote of the Day - Jacqueline Jackson Edition

“We don’t believe a darn thing until we see it, you’re going to have to show us. We’re from Missouri. But young people also need to listen. They need to make themselves available to understand many of the illusions and the trinkets that are being dangled in front of their faces.”

Jacqueline Jackson, mother of Jesse Jackson Jr. talking about her son and his issues with a "mood disorder" due to his disappointments in life.  He was going to be a senator or Mayor of Chicago, and those didn't pan out.


Gee, it doesn't seem that she didn't teach that lesson to her son very well by the sound of this:

An IPad is not a human right.  To stand up on the floor of the house and spew this type of nonsense is exactly what gives people the "illusions" she is talking about.  You want an IPad, go out and work for it. 


As a side note, depression is a very serious illness that if left untreated can be fatal.  I wish him the best in his recovery.  

Jesse Jackson Jr.'s Version of the Constitution

Life, Liberty, and an IPod:



While there can be no doubt that we have a homeless problem in our society, the vast majority of people have a place to live. So my question is what does decent mean? We are living through the aftermath of government involvement in homeownership with the Community Reinvestment Act and lowering the standards of home loans. Does he want to continue down that road?


What student in this country is not offered an education in this country? While I am the first to say that our public schools stink, no one is denied the right to go. I don't think the issue is that we need to build more schools; we need to give parents more choice to attend the school that is going to fit their child’s needs.

But hey what let’s make a constitutional amendment to give everyone an IPod and laptop. I don't happen to have an IPod, so let me know where I can pick mine up

Is Jesse Jackson Jr. A Race Traitor Too?

Apparently Jesse Jr. had an affair with a restaurant hostess.  Congressmen having affairs is nothing new, and not all that shocking really.  But, this woman happens to be white and Jesse Jr., as you may know, is not.  Apparently, his wife is aware of the situation and ultimately it is between the two of them. 

I am not one to say one word about these types of relationships.  Love is love, if you skin tones happen to differ, so what.  It isn't anyone else's business as far as I am concerned.  But, sadly, I do know that there are plenty of people who don't agree with that. 

Many months back I did post on some comments that I read on a blog about a statement made by Eleanor Norton Holmes about Justice Thomas.  Her implication was that he was not "black" enough for her tastes. The comments made by liberals went off about Justice Thomas' wife Ginni, who happens to be white.  They were none to thrilled about this.  The usual slurs were used.  "Oreo", "Uncle Tom", "Traitor" and on it went. 

So is this true as well for Jesse Jr.?  Because logically it should be, right?  Just Askin'.
