Wake the Fk Up: A Primer

by Jamal Banderson Wednesday, Aug. 04, 2004 at 5:17 PM

Life is not fair. Accept that fact and deal with it. Government ain't going to make life fair, either. If you believe that GOVERNMENT is the answer to your problems, you need to be dragged off and shot.

Socialism doesn't work. Communism doesn't work. Both have been tried over and over again with miserable results. The only people who still believe in that crap are fucking parasites who want something for nothing, or people who court the parasite vote.

Guns are NOT dangerous when you know how to handle them. I am not afraid of guns. I am sometimes afraid when I am unarmed.

There is no free lunch. Everything in life comes with strings attached. Any time somebody offers you something for nothing, you'd better put a hand on your wallet. If you don't, you're gonna lose your wallet.

Anybody who says that he or she loves EVERYBODY is full of shit. If you dole out your love like alms, it is worthless. Love, like trust and respect, should be EARNED by the recipient.

Most people don't read history, schools don't teach it anymore and too many people don't have a clue about what the world is really like. Human nature has not changed in 10,000 years. Money, sex and power make the world go 'round. Always have, always will.

A lot of people who oppose the war in Iraq couldn't find Iraq on a globe. They are too ignorant to know how ignorant they are.

If I were President of the United States, I would rather see our country feared than loved. You don't kiss ass when you're the biggest, meanest player on the field. Others kiss YOUR ass. If you're Tall Dog, act like one.

Talk softly, but keep one hand on your gun. Some people will fuck you every chance they get. Know that fact.

ALWAYS cut the cards.

Don't fall for a slick-talking salesman. Most of the politicians in Washington today ARE NOT the best and the brightest "leaders" this country has to offer. They are salesmen, selling themselves. Do NOT trust them. They will lie to you if it benefits them. They care more about money, sex and power than they do about you.

Women ARE NOT the same as men and they never will be. I'm all for equal RIGHTS, but I'll NEVER believe in lowering physical standards to allow women to hold jobs that they are not capable of doing. I refuse to deny the obvious. I know very few women who could pick me up and run 50 yards with me on her shoulders. I know a lot of men who can.

Blacks in America have more opportunity for success than blacks in Africa. Why do they insist on calling themselves "African-Americans?" Most of them would run screaming for the first plane home if they ever found themselves marooned in Africa. That place is a cesspool. Why can't other Blacks see what I see so clearly: my grandparents immigrating to America was the best favor they did for my parents and me. The same is true for 'my' people living here today, if they would just pull their heads out of their asses and look around.

Teach your children to read and to ENJOY reading. That's the best gift you can ever give them.

gets right to the point

by Meyer London Thursday, Aug. 05, 2004 at 12:58 PM

At least this guy doesn't beat around the bush in announcing his crude and barbaric beliefs. Thomas Hobbes, Edmund Burke, Theodore Roosevelt and today's "libertarians" have all said basically the same thing while attempting to make it sound respectable with a lot of respectable verbiage.

That Jamal makes too much sense to post at this site.

I didn't see a single racist remark, but then, my party's political power is not drawn from converting self-reliance to a victimized mindset.

one correction

by Williams Marcus Thursday, Aug. 05, 2004 at 6:19 PM

He has that one wrong. Most Blacks don't use or call themselves the PC and inaccurate term "African-American," just "Black."

As for Africa being a cesspool, he's right: epidemic AIDS, tribal wars, corruption, famine. Most anyone WOULD board the next plane outta there.

I've been to Africa

by Black November Thursday, Aug. 05, 2004 at 9:44 PM

I lived in West Africa for six months. It's not the greatest place in the world, true. But the people are far friendlier than ANY place I've ever been in the USA, and the Western Hemisphere for that matter. The main reason it's a cesspool is because the governments are mostly corrupt. There's little money granted for social services, infrastructure, utilities, water sanitation, basically everything is stolen from the people. Then these corrupt governments sell out the nation's natural resources to huge multi-national corporations, so while the people are being bilked of their freedoms, they're being bilked of their livlihoods as well.

But I'd go back there any time. As an American, you're treated like royalty and you can live like one too. The average African spends less than per meal.

Blacks in America have more opportunity for success than blacks in Africa.



That's factually accurate. Why socialists continue to to portray America as an evil land or no better than other countries isn't too hard to figure out.

No victims = no recruits.

"Blacks in America have more opportunity for success than blacks in Africa."

What does verity of that statement have to do with skin tone?

google turned this ass up

A couple searches on some long phrases turned up this guy's blog.

http://gutrumbles.com/archives2/000469.php#000469

He's angry.

He's like every other so called libertarian.

They're obsessed with Black people, communists, stupid people at work, and equality. They like Ayn Rand. Did you know she was a needy lush too?

They talk about freedom, but don't care about freedom for everyone, just for themselves.

If libertarians only want freedom "for themselves," why are they live-and-let-live and pro-choice on most issues while socialists and communists want to micromanage and rule everyone's lives?
