The Revitalization of A Legend

Posted on by

College Football got a little of its dignity back last week. Let’s look at what happened and the ramifications:

  1. The NCAA’s primary purpose is to exploit athletes to make money for big time programs and conferences. They have arcane rules used to keep players as indentured servants and then hand out wrist slaps to keep the public thinking they are holding up noble ideas why in reality they are down in the muck taking a piece of the pie.
  2. Some programs stand up to this, like Notre Dame. One man truly believed in the ideals of a student athlete and spent over 50 years creating a world where sons and grandsons would play and be allowed to get a degree. The degree might have been in something we consider trivial, like parks management, but they would have earned it and gone through the process and the work for it and would be much better people for the rest of their lives because of it.
  3. The NCAA hated this man and his principals. For decades they tried to find something wrong with his recruiting and coaching in their vast rulebook. They could finding nothing. He was clean, at least as far as regular on field on issues.
  4. Then they got their silver bullet and shot it immediately. A terrible child sex abuse scandal perpetuated by a former assistant coach who was probably dismissed for it in 1998 but with no criminal proof found in an investigation. Sandusky was seen abusing a child on campus and the Penn State administration did nothing about it. They were found guilty and fired.
  5. Joe Paterno was told and reported it to his higher ups, as is NCAA policy. He followed the letter of the law. Could he have done more? Sure. Hindsight is easy. Should he have done more? Probably. It is blight on his character and program, one those still alive still have to bear the burden of.
  6. However, the NCAA response was vindictive and irresponsible. They finally could bring down that man they had tried so hard for decades to tarnish. They exceeded their authority and knew Penn State would cave because at the time they just wanted the scandal to go away.
  7. The Paterno’s knew better. They hired an investigator to rebut the Freeh report.
  8. A state senator investigated the internal NCAA communications and knew they were overreaching their authority.
  9. A lawsuit was filed and instead of going to court, was settled, restoring the wins stripped away from a legend.
  10. The statue that was ungraciously removed is the next step to redemption.
  11. The fraud Bobby Bowden whose fans were crowing over the demise of Paterno, who knew the only way Bowden could be the most winningest coach was through using the system, crowed about how terrible Penn State was to get their way. Those people and Bowden have now been exposed and put back in their place – 2nd. Remember, if you aren’t first, you’re last.

And so now the world is a little bit brighter. Penn State can start to hold its head up again, and the Big 14 can grow from this as their legacy as a historic conference gains the winningest coach ever back. I personally can’t be fully back on board till the statue is back, but I understand how some are ready to board the band wagon. There is a good chance the statue will be back though, here’s hoping.

The Truth About Ferguson

Posted on by

Here are some unpopular thoughts and musings I have been having about Ferguson. It could just be because I have been watching The Wire (Season 3!), but anyway I don’t hear this on any media and I think it gets the closest to the truth.

  1. Michael Brown got his justice. He attacked a cop, in his car, after robbing a store. He then charged that cop. He never put his hands up, that is just liberal agenda based media spin.
  2. I don’t feel that sorry for his parents. Sure it sucks they lost their son, no one should have to though that, but it seems pretty clear they did a bad job of raising him and keeping him away from bad elements. Ferguson isn’t west Baltimore or Watts or Compton. He had options and choices. Sure, they were hard but there was opportunity. He didn’t appear to take advantage of any of them.
  3. Cops are a tight nit brotherhood. They go through a lot and really only have themselves and their families that care about them. It is not an easy job, especially today with forces like defense attorneys and the Al Sharptons of the world keeping them in check. This is a necessary check though. We as a society give these people massive power. It must be held accountable.
  4. This is why when a cop is killed they go rabid. One of their own, one of the only people who care about them has been killed. They go all out, a lot more than if you or me was killed. Perhaps it just because they are desensitized to us getting killed but not their own. Is that a good thing? No. Is that a reality we need to judge things by? Yes.
  5. I ranted about the militarization of the police here before, but it is still a problem. The Police Military Industrial Complex feeds these incidents and raids. Most of it is in vain due to a failed war on drugs and an overreaction to the war on terror. These are things people don’t want to think about, preferring to just make it black and white (on either side.) but it is not. This is a complex problem with root causes no politician wants to face because it opens them up to attack. They think the American people can’t be rational about this. Perhaps they are right.
  6. Prosecutors and police are like Peas and Carrots. They go hand in hand. You can’t build a successful case as a DA without the cooperation of the police. They need the evidence and the testimony of the police. They cannot step outside those bounds and be seen going after a cop. That is a sure way to kill your career which is based off networking. Most DAs want to run for office, as a DA or a judge. Good luck getting elected if you cross the police. Even if they leave and become defense attorneys they need connections with judges inside the system to win cases. Burning those bridges to prosecute a cop who you know is innocent? Not likely.
  7. And that brings us to the Grand Jury. Most Grand Juries are shams used by prosecutors to get a trial. They are short and only show the prosecutor’s side. Not this one. The DA did his best to show all the evidence, acting really as a defense attorney for Officer Wilson. He was not trying to get that case to trial. By him being fair and showing all the evidence he did his side a massive blow. Was it justice? Perhaps, but it was outside the way of things are done and the system we have setup. It looks great to the media and the pundits because they can spin it pro cop.
  8. Would Officer Wilson have won a trial? Hard to say, but based the evidence we have, it looks like it. He was denied this chance to defend himself in open court. He was also spared months of heartache and huge financial bills. He avoided the finicky nature of a jury and the chance he could have been convicted. Which would not have been justice. You have realize the circus this trial would have been and what he would have gone through. It would have been a nightmare for him.
  9. So in the end the right result was reached, but it was unfair and biased and that is the way our system works. Even as we try to make police accountable huge forces work against that and they have a lot of money and resources. There number one weapon though is the ignorance, especially of white America, of what the system really is and how it really works. People don’t want to know these details, they want to think of police as Andy Griffith, but the reality is far, far from Mayberry.

Plan on Supporting the US 2014 World Cup team? Then you are a MURDERER

As you may or may not know, the World Cup of Soccer will be played this year in Brazil. (If you didn’t know, congrats – you are a patriot.) What Brazil has done in order to host these games is criminal. They have oppressed and murdered their own citizens in order to have a few balls bounce around on a field. It is disgusting and beyond reprehensible.

http://espn.go.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/10079392/generation-june

If you support the games, including supporting the US National Team, then you support the regime that did this. You are no better than they are. You might as well go to the Brazil club up on Sample next to the Port-something and open fire. There is no difference between the two. NONE.

Supporting soccer in Brazil means you are an accomplice to MURDER of the 1st degree. When you see someone supporting this endeavor, call them what they are – murderers. Cold blooded killers.

The World Cup is unlike the Olympics. When the Olympics are hosted in a totalitarian regime like China or Russia it is opportunity for freedom lovers worldwide to enter those countries and demonstrate the sweet taste of freedom and how amazing it is by having the US crush the local team in the medal count. Those are medals of freedom raining down on the cold hand of oppression.

The Soccer world cup is organized to celebrate an activity that is an anathema to freedom – Soccer. No one who loves freedom excels at Soccer, well, the USA Women’s team does because they win gold medals, but no one else. Prime athletes are out playing Football and Basketball – the sports of freedom. Is it a surprise that as the USA has gotten better at Soccer, our freedoms have diminished? There is a direct correlation between how many drones and NSA spying programs we have to the number of international victories the US has won in soccer.

You will know the USA has become the US of Amerika or the USSA when this country final wins a world cup. That will be the final breaking point where the only option will be armed revolution. Everything you hold scared will be dead and rotting at the bottom the Grand Canyon. This is just how unfreedom loving soccer is. It also gives your kids brain damage from the constant head collisions.

To Summarize:

  1. Soccer = anathema to Freedom.
  2. Brazil repressed and murdered their people to sponsor soccer games.
  3. Support for the Brazil games is support for murder.
  4. Support for the US team in the world cup is supporting Brazil.
  5. Therefore supporting the US Soccer team is supporting murder.

Do you want to be an accomplice to murder? Is that what lives in your heart? Then get behind this vile team, otherwise stand up for freedom and boycott these games!

Real War on Women

So by now everyone has heard of Obama’s farcical war on women. This has pretended to rial up a few people but really no puts any gravitas on this.

However what if you were to wage a real war on women? Here is how I would do it:

Step 1: Pass the Equal Rights Amendment. This was a very popular feminist movement coming out of the 1970s. It was killed by middle class housewives who realized this might put an end to their free ride.

A couple of awesome things would come from this:

  1. Equal pay for all under the Constitution.
  2. Equal divorce laws. Right now in most states women are treated unfairly in divorce law, meaning that all the laws are rigged to benefit them. Men even if in similar pay and social status almost always pay support.
  3. No more discrimination in college admissions. Right now women are about 55% of the college population. We should force this to be 50%, even if it means less qualified men are admitted over more qualified women. This is about fairness and equality and the way to make that a reality is via quotas.

Step 2: Make women required to register for selective service. It is not fair that women are not eligible for the draft. They should be forced to be able to be drafted and they should be eligible for combat operations just like their male counterparts.Women have been getting a free ride here for 1000s of years. It is time for them to step up and share the burden.

Step 3: Women live a lot longer than men. We need to change this via more specific research on men’s health problems and more money spent to keep men alive longer for no reason. Women should also be pushed into careers will lower life spans that men typically dominate today.

How is that for a war on women? I suspect a lot of this a feminist from 1972 might agree on or even be shocked at how much the cause of advancement of women in America has changed over the last 40 years.

You see women’s movements today don’t have much left to fight for so they seek relevancy. They won the social war and they have flipped the equation in the economic war to where all future success factors favor women overwhelmingly. But these groups want to eat their cake and bake it too.

Men of course go along with this for obvious reasons. However keep putting frivolous wars and false claims of inequality on men and they will start to look around and start saying “really?” You can’t trust a group when they turn substance into hyperbole, it is the proverbial calling of the wolf and the results won’t be good.

More men will stay away from marriage and responsibility. More kids won’t have Dads be there for them as men shrink away. Relationships will become more and more superficial and less committed.

None of that is good for society but it is the real legacy of these false wars on women.

Of course then if that all happens men can get robots (thanks Japan!) and women can become lesbians. Hopefully I will be dead by then.

Iowa: Worst state in the Union?

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Enjoy these few days California, you are off the hook, for now. Stop smiling New Jersey.

Yes, Iowa is currently the worst state in the union. It is full of selfish braggerts with massive ego mania complexes. They also don’t care about poor people and enable America’s enemies.

That is a very harsh critism, but lets lets look at the facts. First off, why do they constantly move their caucus date up? Why must they be first? When more representive states try to make the election process more in line with the vast majority of the electorate, Iowa throws a hissy fit. And then the parties cave in and cut the delegates!

We end up with this redicilous situation where someone like Rick Santorum or Ron Paul could win this state and become a legitimate candidate for the Republican nomination. Come on son. 120,000 people will causus in Iowa on Tuesday to pick a winner.How do they have so much power? They will be 90% white versus 60% in the general case. They also 60% Evangelical Christians. I hate California as much as the next guy, but if that state was first we would have a much more balanced candidate who represents the majority of Americans.

The media is feeding this system by 24/7 coverage and the candidates do everything to back fill the system. They all pander to these people. A straw poll getting headlines when you buy the votes? Come on son.

When candidates like Rudy Giuliani or Jon Huntsman try to stand up to this disgusting behavior they get blackballed.New Hampshire is barely any better but at least it is a bit more representive. Iowa also has a terrible track record for the nominated candidate, performing no better than a coin toss. They chose Pat Robertson. PAT ROBERSON! Huckabee was a nice guy, but he was not fit be president.

Now lets look at some of the damage. This ethanol fiasco has created unnatural demand dramicatilly hurting food prices, especially in corn heavy eating places like mexico. This servered as a very repressive tax. Part of the Arab spring was a direct result high food prices.

You have blood on your hands Iowans. Who in their right minds can advoicate a policy of burning food? FOOD. (Especially if you did even a tiny bit of reseach you would find there are much better ways to make ethonal.)

It is disgusting and direct result of pandering to the state of Iowa because they are first in the presidential election cycle. You are really feeding the enemies of America.

There is a simple way to fix all this mess which I will post as another blog, but basically you have four primary days with a random distribution of 25 states every 2 or 3 weeks. This would be inclusive and will not result is such pandering. More mainline candidates would prosper that will result in better presidents. Isn’t that what we all want?

So make a pledge. Don’t vote for the winner in Iowa, especially if it is a Paul, Santorum or Bachmann. Keep showing up Iowa for the selfish, death enablers that they are. Their behavior is disgusting and for a state that claims to be full of Christians they exhibit the most anti-Christian behavior.
