NEW YORK, New York — Anheuser-Busch gave him six figures, Colgate-Palmolive shelled out $50,000 and Macy's and Pfizer have contributed thousands to the Rev. Al Sharpton's charity.

Almost 50 companies - including PepsiCo, General Motors, Wal-Mart, FedEx, Continental Airlines, Johnson & Johnson and Chase - and some labor unions sponsored Sharpton's National Action Network annual conference in April.

Terrified of negative publicity, fearful of a consumer boycott or eager to make nice with the civil-rights activist, CEOs write checks, critics say, to NAN and Sharpton - who brandishes the buying power of African-American consumers. In some cases, they hire him as a consultant.

The cash flows even as the US Attorney's Office in Brooklyn has been conducting a grand-jury investigation of NAN's finances.

A General Motors spokesman told The Post that NAN had repeatedly - and unsuccessfully - asked for contributions for six years, beginning in August 2000.

A sermon last Friday by a prominent Muslim cleric and Hamas member of the Palestinian parliament openly declared that "the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital," would soon be conquered by Islam.

The fiery sermon, delivered by Yunis al-Astal and aired on Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV, predicted that Rome would become "an advanced post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread though Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, even Eastern Europe."

"Allah has chosen you for Himself and for His religion," al-Astal preached, "so that you will serve as the engine pulling this nation to the phase of succession, security and consolidation of power, and even to conquests through da'wa and military conquests of the capitals of the entire world.

"Very soon, Allah willing, Rome will be conquered, just like Constantinople was, as was prophesized by our prophet Muhammad," he added.

Al-Astal last June preached how it was the duty of Palestinian women to martyr themselves by becoming homicide bombers.

"The most exalted form of jihad is fighting for the sake of Allah, which means sacrificing one's soul by fighting the enemies head-on, even if it leads to martyrdom," he said in a June 23, 2007 interview.

Wow, I never would have believed it, the Dems have the next election in the bag and what are they doing? Cutting each others throats!! I love it, if both Hillary and Obama would just keep their collective mouths shut; one of them would kick MacCane aside and be sitting in the oval office. But no!!! Slam, slam dig up dirt and toss the poo. Are you surprised? I’m not, look at who we are dealing with, a Clinton, lie, cheat, deny, stab, stab. And Obama, “no, I wasn’t raised as a Muslim” and who’s pastor of 20 years says Jesus was a “poor black child”. These two idiots, which almost half the idiots in the US want to be president, would rather tear the party apart and self destruct then do anything positive. Gee, now wouldn’t you want one of them as president now, just think of what they would do to our country if they had a chance!!!

It is so sad to see the man who wants to lead the most powerful country in the world stand there and apologize to people for the fact that someone speaking along side him    (Bill Cunningham) used Barack Hussein Obama’s middle name. Why? Because he is afraid he might “offend” someone. Get a grip, people offend people, and if someone is offended by their middle name, too bad. The press and now John MacCane seem to want to hide the fact Obama was born a Muslim. Is that something that should be hidden? I don’t think so, it doesn’t make him a bad person, but it shows how weak John MacCane is…

 My fellow Identity-Americans. As your future president I want to thank
 my supporters, for their... well, support.

 Your mindless support of me, despite my complete lack of any legislative
 achievement, my pastor's relations with Louis Farrakhan and Libyan
 dictator Moamar Quadafi, or my blatantly leftist voting record while I
 present myself as some sort of bi-partisan agent of change.
 I also like how my supporters claim my youthful drug use and criminal
 behavior somehow qualifies me for the Presidency after 8 years of
 claiming Bush's youthful drinking disqualifies him. Your hypocrisy is a
 beacon of hope shining over a sea of political posing.

 I would also like to thank the Kennedy's for coming out in support of
 me. There's a lot of glamour behind the Kennedy name, even though JFK
 started the Vietnam War, his brother Robert illegally wiretapped Martin
 Luther King Jr. and Teddy killed a teenage girl. And I'm not going
 anywhere near the cousins, both literally and figuratively.
 
 And I'd like to thank Oprah Winfrey for her support. Her love of
 meaningless empty platitudes will be the force that propels me to the
 White House.

 Americans should vote for me, not because of my lack of experience or
 achievement, but because I make people feel good. Voting for me causes
 some white folk to feel relieved of their imagined, racist guilt.
 
 I say things that sound meaningful, but don't really mean anything
 because Americans are tired of things having meaning. If things have
 meaning, then that means you have to think about them. Americans are
 tired of thinking. It's time to shut down the brain, and open up the
 heart. So when you go to vote in the primaries, remember don't think,
 just do.

 And do it for me.   

 

 And perhaps it could also be an investment for - ‘Hope and Change’ - of some sort ???

 (After all, you did it for Jimmy and Billy)

 

 Thank You.

Here it is 7 months to the general election, Wow, this is enough to make me want to go watch mold grow. Looking at our choices just makes me want to crawl into a hole and say the hell with it. First off, I’m a republican, and a moderate right conservative just to let you know where I’m coming from. But to look at what the republicans have to offer makes me want to hurf… John MacCane is about as republican as Barbra Boxer, so, no one on the right to vote for. That leaves me with what the democrats have to offer, again, hurf!! We know what Hillary is; she already ran the country for 8 years, so again, nope. Well, one last choice, Mr. Obama, This would be interesting because no one has a clue as to what this man would do. The press won’t talk about his upbringing at all, not PC you know, they might be called raciest, Islam phobic or something along that line. So what the hell, this man might be the best thing for this country. If he is as much of a socialist as he looks, he might revitalize the Republican Party better then anything they could ever think of. Imagine, 4 years of a true socialist!! This country would see a true nationalistic movement like it has never seen before! It might take us 10 years to recover and fix the damage, but I think it would be some good medicine to stop the rampant liberalism that is infecting our nation…

So as far as I’m concerned, GO OBAMA!!!

The name Hewlett Packard brings many images to mind, Quality, Honesty, Top American Employer. All of these things were true, at one time, unfortunately, not any more. In the past decade HP has been taken over by the same robber baron mentality that has infected most of the former top US companies. Many of you have heard these stories time and time again, jobs moved over seas, freezes on wages, jobs eliminated all in the name of cost cutting. Wall Street loves this, stocks sky rocket, at first all looks fine to the outside world, like a rotting potato pristine on the skin, black and hollow on the inside. To top it off, as HP boasts of record profits to the world, Mark Heard, the COE informs his employees HP won’t be giving any raises. At the same time, Mark cashes in on $200 mil of HP stock he had in options. Between Mark Heard and other top HP officials, over $2 billion worth of stock had been cashed out. Today the story is obvious, a very few rape and destroy a great company at the cost of its employees and customers.

With liberals whining about the war, because it’s the US’s fault that radical Muslims don’t like us, whining about the poor illegal Hispanics disserving all the rights, and welfare that Americans have, and how mean big business is to the people of these great United States, I have a solution. Elect everyone that is one the ballot!!

I am so fed up with trying to convince these brain dead pie in the sky folks what the reality of pulling out troops out of the middle east would do, like, full collapse of the region, loss of oil reserves, collapse of world economies, chaos and war not seen since WWII. So, as a conservative, registered republican, (whom are no longer conservative), I have a solution. Give the liberals exactly what they want, elect Obama and every liberal on the ballot you can. Let them pull our troops home, socialize medicine, grant amnesty to all illeagles, and sit back and watch. In 4 years true nationalists will be back in charge with a vengeance!!!

Wow, here it is, the super bowl is over, less then 2 weeks till Daytona 500, I can tell the days are getting longer, and ever better, here in the North West it's getting above 50 degrees!! Before you know it we will be swimming in the pool, playing darts out at the Tiki Bar, and bitchhing about how hot it is... But for right now, I can't wait for the hot days of Summer, I'll take being forced into sitting in the pool with an ice cold Martini in my hand complaining about getting sun burned.... Ahhh, what a life. Day by day it gets closer, until then, I can look at sunny pictures.

See ya all later....

Wow,,, So here it is 2:30 in the F%$#n morning, am I in bed sleeping? hell no, my eyes popped wide open, my brain going 100mi a min, so I'm sitting here typing this garbage...

Well, anyway, yesterday was a very cool day here in Molalla. We don't get snow here very often, but yesterday was one of the rare times. We got a good snow, 3in I'd say, and looking out the window right now, we got another inch at least during the night. Well hell, it's still night and looking at the radar we are going to get some more before the sun comes up. No work today, at least no driving in. I'll just work from home. Thank goodness for the internet. As soon as I figure it out, I'll post a movie of the snow and the neighborhood playing again. It actualy felt good seeing the few neighbors we have left all out talking to one another. Well, James didn't say much again, but we have all got use to that. We will see if the morning brings us more snow, maybe we all can get out there and enjoy it once again... night all...

Here it is, the middle of winter, cold, dark and stuck inside.. I can't wait for the weather to warm up, NASCAR to start, and we can start spending the evenings out at the Tiki Bar.. Oh well...
