The rapid rise of Newt Gingrich in winning South Carolina was quite startling. The win though predicted was a blow not just for the other contenders in the race for Republican Nominee, but was a blow to the United States. While Newt Haltingly channeled that Mitt Romney spoke French and was European, the ironic truth is the only serious presidential candidate in recent times who’s life mirrored say Berlosconi, the despotic leader of Italy, Sarkozy who literally kicked his wife out of the presidential manor for a new wife, and who can ever forget Prince Charles who’s mistress had free reign of the castle while he was married and who’s wife Princess Diana alleged that the mistress tortured her psychologically through the staff even when she was pregnant. Sorry Newt I think you get the Euro award for creep.
In any event, zeroing in on one phrase “he speaks french” let me know that somewhere along the way Newt had done his homework. While the rest of the world laughed at such a pin head commercial. He speaks french. They failed to realize that 15% of the adults in South Carolina can not read or write so uttering the statement he speaks French in a S.C. commercial is a hoot like you know when you were in fifth grade and someone farted; because the honest truth is the literacy and comprehension rate of adults in S.C. is probably no greater than a fifth grader. As we look at Southern States and how they are marketed too, if some of the pundits are to believed the South has deliberately been kept in the dark so that rich industrialists can run over them, come to Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina cause the workers are dumb and can be easily manipulated. For instance I live in Georgia and I am routinely sold shoddy products, we have a Sears HVAC unit that does not work after one year. Sears came and serviced it and then told me it was my fault therefore the Warranty was not extended, then I had another product and I specifically heard the man servicing my warrantied item say he had to get a part, then when it was all over he told me that a cord had come undone. I finally had to realize that before I had any warrantied work done in our home I needed several estimates just to verify the problem, because I was in the South and they have right to work laws that allow employers to fire employees without notice, employees do what they have to do to keep their jobs.
However they do have good universities in Atlanta, and Newt Gingrich went to the University known as Coca cola University Emory University, as well as others Georgia State, and Georgia Tech have all been listed as having some of the best business schools in the country and though Newt looks Fat, Dumpy, and Dumb. It’s startling to realize that he’s not, and whether through watching Clinton, or reading about him. Newt knows the power of the intellectual and his “little” campaign found a way to tap into the angst of South Carolina, “they closed our factories, we did our work like good little workers and they closed are factories” clearly the right to work concept is not OK with the S.C. populace but they can’t comprehend that because the people who say they love them, are concerned about them, literally don’t give a damn about them and use them as pawns in a political game. So what did Newt use to win somewhere along the way he used comprehensive market research to zero in on what the people wanted either by going to mom’s cafe and talking to them or formally hiring a firm. The bottom line is if anyone is going to beat Newt they are going to have to have the immediate respect for the power of the intellectual and pay some big bucks for market research, or else Newt will Win.
Sphere: Related ContentA Russian economist said that the U.S. would break up into pieces in 2010, while that did not happen in 2010. In 2012 its becoming increasingly obvious with the S.C. win of Newt Gingrich that there is one part of the country that does not represent United States values as the world sees them and ironically and hypocritically it calls itself the values party. Tonight the folks of South Carolina home of the baby killer one woman drowned all of her children in the river and blamed a black man for doing it, the state that defiantly clings to a shadow of the confederate flag despite the fact it lost the civil war which freed the slaves voted overwhelmingly to elect as it’s republican presidential candidate a man who’s morals are literally in the toilet and has been publicly outed as a thief by his own party, what do you think get out of congress and repay 300,000 dollars or else means He’s A thief.
Ironically, U.S. citizens have to constantly be reminded of Newt’s thievery as they look at the four strands of pearls that Newt’s former mistress and now wife wears around her neck, clearly purchased by tax payer money whether it’s from Fannie Mae or Freddie. Early in the evening I had a premonition of Newt winning and I broke down in tears. I broke down in tears because the S.C. win of Newt Gingrich would be so so Anti-American and literally against the values upon which every candidate in the field with the exception of Newt Gingrich,( a literal parasite of the system) embodies. Every Job that Newt has ever had has revolved around his being paid by the government or being paid as a result of his involvement with the government, and he freely admits it, I worked with Reagan he says, clearly Newt has never had a job that did not involve the government dole. He is literally the Welfare candidate.
The kicker with Newt the welfare candidate is he wants to attack in obvious Jealous rages others who have what he does not have Romney regardless of what Newt wants to perceive of him has run an honest business, has had one beautiful wife and has five handsome sons. Mitt Romney has done the right thing while Newt has not. The comment that Romney made regarding his father saying always have money before you run for political office is something I’ve heard all my life. I think it’s something I read in a book about the Kennedy’s the elder Kennedy maybe the grandfather of John or possibly the father said he worked so hard to make money so that his sons could run for political office or become artists and musicians and not have to worry. Not Newt he has run for office and parasitically lived off the system so that his wife thirty years his junior can walk around with four strands of pearls around her neck and diamonds on her fingers all paid for by the good ole USA. And this is why I cried because politics in the U.S. through Newt has become the antithesis to what American Values stand for hard work and getting paid for it – Mitt Romney was attacked by Newt for doing that. Family Values – all of the candidates had one wife and their kids with the exception of Newt and to make matters worst he had left those wives sick and broken to exchange them for another wife. Newt in plain speak is scum that is not worthy enough to play in the presidential field for any party he is literally not worthy enough to be the gum on any candidates shoe that has run for office in quite some time with the exception of John Edwards.
The thing that disturbs me more than anything is that Newt Gingrich is an obvious sociopath and if ever elected to president could possibly develop into a psychopath. This is said because Newt is a hideous man and does not mind being called hideous as he walks around with his third wife, censured and kicked out of congress for thievery, and has even been called out for being a history major consultant to a financial agency, hmm somehow I get the feeling that Newt cant even read a spread sheet let alone create one. Yet after all of this Newt turns around runs for president and tells the U.S. people he’s doing them a favor for letting them buy jewelry for his wife. This is shameless behavior and if it ever reaches the presidency be warned that this is a man who would be honored to be known as a Hitler, Stalin, or a Mussolini. This is the Welfare candidate the government is even paying him matching funds to run for president. He has gotten more money from the government than a thousand food stamp recipients will ever get.

It is sickening to read all of the African American commentary on “how bad African American kids are for over reacting over a pair of limited edition Micheal Jordan shoes”. It goes to show that African Americans are their own worst enemies in the “game” of life we must all play. In a world where proportionality blacks are incarcerated at a disproportionate rate blacks who have the ears of the media want to hee haw on how awful these incidents over shoes are. Not one black or Hispanic has come out and said what has the world come to when a Hispanic woman goes into Wal-Mart and pepper sprays shoppers causing injuries to fellow shoppers . As a matter of fact she has yet to be charged for this incident. Some of these same folks attacking black youth are not shaking their heads at the degeneracy of white women after the umpteenth white woman has what been a teacher and molested a twelve year old, killed her own infant, or so called abusive husband. Yet over a broken door I have to read comments about blacks that go like this “yeah those folks ought to be in line looking for a job rather than in line for some shoes”, excuse me but how the hell are you going to purchase a pair of $200 shoes without some sort of income or in your broken mind these folks are going to walk in and steal the shoes. Oh and the big one is I stood in line for the IPhone and they did not act like this. As far as the IPhone goes there was huge coordination between APPLE and ATT for the release of the phones resulting in corporations taking IRESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PRODUCT LAUNCH. When the iphone was launched my dad was on his death bed and his close friend who worked for ATT was in the midst of preparing for the launch of the IPHONE 4 and was working overtime to make sure the launch was successful they were making sure logistically that there would not be a riot, even down to being concerned that the folks outside waiting for Iphones were fed.
The release of Limited Edition Air Jordans may have been a profitable win for NIKE but was a corporate responsibility fail for Nike and it’s stores. There obviously was no coordination or even concern for it’s consumers when launching the shoes, their motto was Just do it, or just show me the money. I am a resident of the neighborhood where some of the most egregious so called NIKE riots occurred with the door being knocked off the hinges by only a little over a hundred people. However, I have also stood in that same mall parking lot with tens of thousands of people waiting to be shuttled to the Coretta Scott Funeral and there was no riot, there were no buses turned over or people fighting. A church handled the coordination of this funeral who’s bottom line is a whole lot less than Nike’s. However Nike lacked the care and concern to coordinate the launch of a shoe so that it’s consumer could be portrayed in a good light Some stores however took it upon themselves on the West Coast of the U.S., I think it was Portland, Oregon to line the folks up and hand out numbers to consumers based on the order upon which they arrived and they had no problems. Meaning if the crowds overreacted it was because of the lack of organization of the so called responsible high paid adults in the virtual room. I say all of this to say No, this is not a race issue this is sadly a lack of organizational issue and largely a lack of corporate responsibility issue to protect it’s most vulnerable consumers. Nike, not doing it I’ve been doing PUMA for a while. Nike has begun to symbolize athletics without responsibility or even a moral care. AGAIN NOT DOING IT! I ain’t going to play Nike.
We all have all seen movies, read books, or heard of the concept that one day human beings will be chipped and be able to exchange memories, erase memories, and do various things with their brain based on one tiny chip. The recent attempts by Legislators and others to regulate the internet through the Stop Online Piracy act threatens to set a dangerous precedent to how far some would go to save an industry grappling to save a dying profit model that in the past has killed industries and destroyed jobs. As we hurtle to an increasingly high tech world at the speed of Moores Law, SOPA legislation if passed may throw ice bricks on technology and the technological age as we grapple with leaving the high tech world for a futuristic world.
No one can deny the legitimacy of trying to protect intellectual property and people should pay for things people want to sell even it it’s just one tiny little thought. However ultimately the prevention of theft of intellectual property or any property for that matter is the responsibility of the owner. If ones goes and sets their property up on the curb and someone comes and steals it the police are not going to use much effort searching for it or for that matter may argue that since the property was outside of the house the property was in public domain and it is not even a police issue, but my stupidity issue. The bottom line is if content holders want to protect their property in the New World we live in they may want to spend their money and their effort hiring technologists ie. programmers who can protect their property so that high quality sharing is not an option. The government has proven by even drafting legislation around this issue that it practices a selective laissez-faire based on the players, or laissez-faire is only for the little players but the big players are too big to fail, or too pretty to go to jail “Cough”.
The protectors of content have shut down industry after industry in the past factories that make reel to reel, the tape deck, the cassette tape, etc. They are now threatening to shut down the internet as we know it and make it a thing of the past like say a cassette tape. As they do this the creation of web content in the form of websites will be a thing of the past and only reserved for those who can afford to fight the justice department and internet providers who arbitrarily determine that they have done a bad thing or infringed on someone’s copy right protections. All that we’ve done in the past the creators of the internet as we know it, can be boiled down by legislators and owners of content to the equivalent of shutting down a cassette tape factory. All of the money that we have given to legislatures some of them not even our own, all of the press positive and negative, and the buzz we have given entertainers, books, and movies, all of the fuel to democracy movements all around the world and legislature want to shut down the internet like it’s some sort of eight track tape factory. All of this to protect industries what? too pretty or too big to fail?
Furthermore, giving the government the right to shut down people’s websites without a trial goes at the very heart of United States democracy “Innocent until Proven Guilty”. It also scoffs at and delegitimizes the internet as a whole, “oh those people and their little websites”. If there is a copyright infringement allegation against a website the accuser should have to take it to court and get a court order to have the content taken down. The proponents of this legislation are not Aunt Sue and her cookbooks who can’t afford to take people to court but are great big corporations making billions of dollars if they have a problem they should do what the rest of us are obligated to do when Cousin Pookie who’s lived with us for years absconds with our TV take it to court and have it litigated. Again the U.S. legislature is poised to stab it’s citizens in the back as it seeks to protect businesses to pretty to go to jail or too big to fail.
If this legislation passes be prepared when chips finally come out for corporations to seek to shut down our brains because it repeated more than 30 seconds of a tune, because uncle joe has a photographic memory amd memorized a whole book or a whole song. OMG the justice department can instantly order the shutting down of Joe’s brain until the chip is recovered and his memory is deleted because the content he remembered does not belong to him he over processed it, so it must be deleted. DELETE DELETE DELETE.

For weeks I’ve been contemplating the unemployment rate in the African American community, my musings were forced to paper after I had a very unpleasant run in with a Hispanic Woman working at the bank in an all black neighborhood. My invalid mother had written a check for me to cash and the Hispanic woman refused to cash it. I usually have a very good relationship relationship with Publix, the place where the bank was located and walked over and asked the manager, a white woman manager in a black neighborhood to do something that had been done at Publix before; if she would allow me to drive my car to the entrance of Publix and if she could come and see my mother and write her information on a new check, and cash it. She was a little rude by saying your mother can write after having a stroke. I explained to her all she had to do was allow me to drive the car to the front of the store and she could verify her face with her DL and cash the check. She said OK but would have to check with the bank, then came over and refused. She really was not supposed to do this because if the bank told her anything about our banking situation they would have broken privacy laws. Meanwhile my son had helped my invalid mother who could barely walk into the store and they were headed to the bank, as we approached everyone could obviously see that my mother was laboring and about to fall down. The white woman and two Hispanics working at the Suntrust in this all black neighborhood refused to escort my mother into the small office reserved for customers, despite my asking. They just looked at this struggling black woman who could barely breathe or walk and despite there being a law requiring accommodations for persons with disabilities refused to give her a seat or escort her to the office; a customer of 20 years. We were finally seen and the Hispanic Woman still practically refused to give my mother her money though she was standing there.
I have deliberately pointed out the race of all of the individuals in this scenario because this happened in a black neighborhood. This elderly woman was disrespected as much as Rosa Parks by two Hispanic Women and a White woman in a Black neighborhood. This incident just branded in my mind what I had been thinking for a long time. If corporations and companies can not hire black people, black people should not patronize these businesses or buy their products. When I hear about the unemployment and underemployment rates for black people I wonder where is Jesse representing our dollars and urging a boycott of businesses that don’t put blacks in management training programs, or even telling blacks not to patronize companies that don’t hire blacks on the factory lines. I have decided that I will speak with my dollar, because I know causcasions are speaking with there’s. They have created whole towns in Georgia just for white people, they have placed a whole tech industry in North Hell in Georgia where buses don’t go to make sure white’s get all the jobs in Atlanta technology. Microsoft even invents new programming languages just to get immigrants to the United States when they could be training people in the U.S. for these jobs. The least that I can do is to choose to spend my dollars where blacks are employed in management positions especially in black neighborhoods. If you don’t see blacks working in positions of authority in black neighborhoods you should do what I do boycott my dollar where a black person has been given a job and can adequately represent my interests and won’t make Granny stand when she obviously needs to sit. The unemployment rate for blacks in the United States is at 16%. You should at be respected in your own neighborhoods where you spend your dollar.
after getting home all mom has to say is thank God for the Internet so she does not have to have these run ins with these type of folks.
Sphere: Related ContentAs I went into Kroger today and saw a small container of Dixie Crystal Sugar for 2.49, I realized that unemployment rates of 16% in the black community could not sustain an economy that believes that $50,000 dollars for a family of four is the poverty rate cause I knew that box of sugar was priced for a an average salary of $100,000. This Christmas since I have been bombarded with traffic tickets from cops sitting at the top of the hill or in one case hunting me down all day, a professional risk when you put thoughts to paper in the Deep South of the United States in a state 49th in voting; Since I inadvertently went to court at the wrong time and was fined an extra $100 for not showing up to court and given the option of pleading guilty or going to jail if I could not immediately cough up the $200 for a new trial date, a ticket I was definitely innocent of I was charged with having an expired tag but because the bolts were too hard to get off I had placed the tag in the car until I could purchase a wrench, when the officer stopped me I showed him the valid tag and instead of having an ounce of compassion he gave me a ticket anyway, the ticket he had gotten by blocking the entrance to my street and then when I drove up driving behind me and giving me a ticket. As a result of all this I was put on probation for this tag and had to pay an $80.00 probation fee. The Non Custodial parent decided that he was not going to pay child support this month and all this combined to make this a disastrous Christmas for our family grocery wise. We will not have a Christmas Ham or Turkey this year we will have a pork roast. Whatever, Whatever!
Sphere: Related ContentJOHN SUNUNU, former Senator from New Hampshire of Lebanese and Palestinian orgin wrote the following about Newt Gingrich; “ WHEN BIGOTS speak, their words have purpose. They intentionally choose phrases that inflame, denigrate, and marginalize other races, religions, or nationalities. They employ distortions and stereotypes to bolster false arguments. Which brings us to Newt Gingrich, who in an interview last week derided “an invented Palestinian people.’’ His comments were a calculated — but demonstrably false — slander, designed to curry favor with a constituency for which he cares by insulting one for which he does not.” quote from “Gingrich’s lie reveals his bigotry”
It is ironic but I had been up for days thinking the same thing about Newt Gingrich as it relates to blacks, as well as a couple of others who have decided to take their ire out on poor black children who are not lucky enough to be of Caucasian descent and/or what? not rich. While the others to name one were non-southerners particularly the man who wrote what he would do if he were a poor black child. The one thing that stood out with Newt’s wishes for black children is he wanted to teach them how to clean bathrooms. While many would think that Newt was just naming a chore and really did not mean anything by it, or really mean that only poor children should be cleaning the bathrooms, what Newt, as a southerner meant was that the place for all blacks was cleaning the bathrooms.
As a black person living in the South I have always been amazed by the Southern Mentality of the Highlander of “There Can only be just one” Just one what you ask? Just one race. When Newt speaks of blacks in the bathroom I am reminded of my mother a former teacher in the south talking about her principal a white woman firing the black teachers, the real fancy ones, one coincidentally a college classmate of mine who spoke “extremely” standard English and a graduate of Spelman college who produces very proud black women and replacing these two and others with white women not in the Atlanta area, but white women she had gone looking for all across the deep south excluding Florida, mainly Mississippi, and Alabama. So when Newt talks about putting kids in the bathroom, he’s really talking about putting all blacks in the kitchens and the bathrooms. I received a taste of this when I attempted to join the local woman’s technology group as I sat and listened to the chatter around me I as a native of Atlanta was a little taken aback to hear how the chatter had changed in Atlanta from when I was a teenager volunteering for the Olympics in Atlanta which consisted of people talking about the common goal of the Olympics to being in a Woman’s tech meeting and not hearing technology discussed at all but how these new folks had recently come from Alabama and Mississippi. While it’s nobody’s business where you come from I had to gasp when the female presenter started chanting some of Bill Cosby’s anti black rhetoric so much so I never went back, and never never went to another tech event.
I say all of this to say in my humble way that there is no room for blacks on Skype in Newt’s World. In Newt’s world of the deep south jobs for college educated folks are too scarce to try to give one to a person who is non Caucasian. The prior Governor of Georgia even said there were no jobs for educated folks in Georgia. So when Newt from Georgia says poor kids should be cleaning the bathroom, his racist code is blacks should not aspire to anything other than the bathroom, to put it bluntly Newt is so sick of uppity Negros in the South who dare to aspire to be professionals, he needs to catch them early to redirect them to the floors. Clean the flo aspire to clean the flos not teeth. This is Newts world.

As a Southerner the only words to describe Newt Ginhrich in proper southern terms is a scoundrel and a scalawag in the extremes. Without even doing research I can tally off a list of things that make Newt seem like the devil incarnate, and indicate that he should be in jail or in the case of his wives have some relative take him to the back of the woods and shoot him. At this point I don’t even have to make this piece boring by regurgitating all of Newts sins; but I will repeat I have a strong feeling Newt should be in jail, he’s made 100 million dollars as a politician there are some ethics and corruption violations there somewhere. I also have a strong feeling that a member of one of his former wives families should arrange some sort of drive by shooting or just take him out. This is not a threat in anyway. It just reflects how heinous he is.
However, with all that’s gone on in Newt’s life, will all of us knowing who he is, and what he is, the monster called Newt Gingrich. One wonders why American’s would support him at all. I have two theories the first rather comical one is he’s paid off the pollsters and he’s really not generating those numbers, furthermore no news agency has gone to Iowa and found someone to stand up for Newt to say I’m voting for him, I’m proud of him and he’s my guy. If there are people who honestly want to vote for Newt Gingrich, they are treating him like the outcast girl they really love, but are too ashamed of to be seen with in public. There are a lot of factors that make you want to examine their shame. Are they ashamed because of what they are afraid he represents a Hitlerish monster that will send poor people to the gas chambers, not really to the bathrooms to clean, but to exterminate the have nots once and for all. I guess you could say Newt supporters might be like the Ku Klu Klan, hidden but they are there. Trust me a lot of Newt Gingrich supporters are not going to say they support him on the news because it will reveal that they are what he is, as in the New York Life slogan “the company you keep”, expresses who you are. No one wants to say they want to be like Newt even if he does become president.
The second reason that explains Newt’s personal appeal to some is that he is so narcissistic and self absorbed that it’s enviable. He is an INEWT. One time while talking to my best friend at the time, we rambled into a strange conversation that went like this I feel so embarrassed and ashamed when I let the door fall into someone’s face we both agreed on this comment and laughed at how conscious we were of others feelings and how just not catching the door in time for someone walking through the doors could destroy our day. Well or as they say WELLLLLLLL Newt could take the door and slam and slam and slam it on old granny, and step on her any day, and not even think about it probably not even know he did it. For the weak folks who feel guilty about everything even a little door; Newts lack of a conscious, leaving a cancer stricken wife, leaving his children without a father in the home, committing adultery, and producing baby after baby from adulterous reunions as well as attacking poor women and children; and having finances that come from a big question mark. Most people if they were Newt, and had done the things Newt had done, would have developed into known alcoholics that drown their problems at night so they could forget about the bad people they are, became drug addicts to support the INEWT megalomania, or in the least have the blank stare of a individuals on antidepressants. But no not NEWT, he is not an addict or pumped up on pills. He is a blank that is not capable of having a conscious. This is what appeals to those of us who have too much conscious. Incredulously we are fascinated with his grotesque lack of consciousness; and wonder how’d he do that? He did all of that and can still walk out the door in public. He can still strive to be president. Newt somehow blunts the guilt we feel for letting the door accidentally fall on someone. Newt somehow blunts the embarrassment we feel when we go to the grocery store with our asses stinking and too many people caught us there. We look at Newt and think so what it does not matter, I can go and live another day furthermore it did not happen. It’s like a new invention an INEWT by looking at him and his lack of a soul, a conscious, I aint never going to feel guilty about letting the door fall into anyone’s face. Through INEWT whatever little thing I’ve done I can still walk among the living without feeling shame, cause INEWT has none.
