Billy Roy Mitchum came into the Café this week just huffing and puffing, “The White House Puppet, for some strange reason, was sent out to praise what they call the ‘Arab Spring’, that being protests and armed rebellions attempting to overthrow governments in the Middle East and Northern Africa. Obama’s teleprompter directed him to say the following about these uprisings, ‘America respects the right of all peaceful and law-abiding voices to be heard, even if we disagree with them. We look forward to working with all who embrace genuine and inclusive democracy.’ Obama embraced the overthrow of Mubarak in Egypt. Since then the Muslim Brotherhood has grown stronger and stronger, Egypt is threatening to cancel their peace treaty with Israel, and this week they released from prison the murderer of the former strong US and Israel ally, Anwar Sadat.”
"Obama said that while there will be setbacks accompanying progress in political transitions, the movements present a valuable opportunity for the U.S. to show which side it is on. We have a chance to show that America values the dignity of the street vendor in Tunisia more than the raw power of a dictator, he said, referring to the fruit vendor who killed himself in despair and sparked a chain of events that unleashed uprisings around the Arab world. Do you think he really believes this is how it started, and it has nothing to do with Islamic Jihadists?"
Butch, who always has numbers, “Obama is doing more than just praising this instability, he is financing it, ‘We must reach the people who will shape the future – particularly young people … [and] provide assistance to civil society, including those that may not be officially sanctioned.’ To this end he has doubled the budget for protecting civil society groups from $1.5m to $3.4m while continuing to provide billions to countries like Egypt, and announcing that the Libyan war bill for the US has exceeded expectations by $100m already.”
Even Mom joined in, “Obama doesn’t care whether these countries are friends, (Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen) or foes of the US (Syria and Iran) he supports the rebellions. How does he claim he is for non-violent democratic protests while we arm and provide air support for the armed rebels in their war against the Libyan government? He is against violence and supports giving Palestine to Hamas based on 1956 boundaries while they continue to vow the total destruction of Israel.”
And then BM went really hostile, “Well, Obama’s handlers aren’t alone in calling for an overthrow of the existing regimes. Ayman al-Zawahri, long the second in command to Osama bin Laden’s al Qaeda, joined Obama this week as he hoped for, ‘a good regime that would expel the Americans and henchmen in Yemen.’ He also, like Obama, supports most of the uprisings as he called for, ‘a revolt against the leaders of Pakistan just as your brothers in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Syria have done.’ Should we be on the same side of the guys that al Qaeda supports? Notice Zawahri doesn’t mention the protests in Iran and Syria. Obama barely mentions them as well.
Butch seems to always come back to Afghanistan maybe because several of Hubbard’s youth are serving in the military, “This is about as strange as Obama wanting to negotiate a peace settlement with the Taliban in Afghanistan so he can claim victory and pull out. And what are the guys he wants to negotiate with saying? The Pakistani Taliban (who is linked closely with the Afghanistan guys) deputy commander of the militant group told The Associated Press, ‘We will fight with new zeal in the wake of Osama bin Laden's death to complete the al-Qaida chief's mission of waging holy war against the West.’ The comments by Waliur Rehman appeared designed to deflate expectations that the May 2 raid by U.S. Navy SEALs that killed bin Laden would slow down insurgent groups allied with or inspired by al-Qaida. You would think that somebody in the “Jeremiah Wright House” would read the Associated Press releases. Last week, the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for a double suicide bombing at a paramilitary police training facility that killed some 90 people, and said it was revenge for bin Laden's death. Obama’s response, let’s negotiate about Afghanistan.”
“This Taliban guy chipped in the following, ‘We have the same target, program and mission," he added. "Our enemies are NATO, Jews and Christians."
We are back to the old question are Obama’s handlers stupid or diabolical or both?

Guess What Folks, We Have A Black Problem
This past weekend I was in Galveston, Texas attending a family wedding. An article on the front page of the local news caught my attention, "Community Policing System On Isle Under Scrutiny". In layman terms this means the "Police Chief is catching hell". Since 2008 the city has instituted a community policing program where more officers are put on the streets, encouraging communication, and promoting better response to community concerns. At the heart of the program is aggressive street enforcement of crimes such as prostitution and drug dealing, along with smaller crimes which are many times not enforced such as sidewalk, bicycle, and walking road violations.
This looks like it is right out of the Rudy Giuliani book that cleaned up New York City some years back. Giuliani's first term as mayor, the New York City Police Department adopted an aggressive enforcement/deterrent strategy that involved crackdowns on relatively minor offenses such as graffiti, turnstile jumping, cannabis possession, and aggressive panhandling by "squeegee men", on the theory that this would send a message that order would be maintained. Put policemen on the street enforcing small violations and even murder rates go down. Who would have guessed that discipline really works?
The program has taken crime rates in Galveston to a 30 year low with overall decreases of 30%, and burglaries, robberies, and auto theft down by 60%.
So what is the problem? Oops, statistics show that 64% of the smaller violations resulted in the arrests of blacks. Arrests of Hispanics totaled 9%, and whites 27%. That's a problem, because the ethnic population spread in Galveston is 12% black yet they are committing 64% of the violations, whites are 71% of the population and committing 27% of crimes, and 32% of the population are Hispanics yet they are committing only 9% of the violations (you think they might be busy working and resting up to work some more?). If you could only sweep the reduction in crime rates under the rug this situation is tailor made for the racist welfare pimps to claim discrimination, and of course, to make claims for reparations. The attorneys will more than likely draw swords and spend mucho taxpayer dollars in law suits. This is money that could be better spent in identifying the real causes of black crime and prevention.
A good place to start the search would be to look at unemployment rates, welfare programs that incentivize unemployment, school truancy, and households without fathers. Let's face it, the programs based on the victimization of blacks aren't working. The saddest part of the story is that those being hurt the most are the blacks. No one suffers more from high crime rates than blacks. Human decency cries for us to take a close and honest look at this problem in a loving and constructive way. Let's face it Al Sharpton, Charlie Rangel, Jesse Jackson, Eric Holder and crew are not leading us to solutions but only perpetuating their power holds over the black community while intimidating the timid American citizenry to go along with their failed welfare programs for their brainwashed victims of discrimination. It is clear by now that our first black President is just voting "present" when it comes to facing the black problem. Those who put him in office and are pulling the strings do not have this on their agenda.
Just maybe the answer is discipline. Discipline in the homes, then the schools, and then on the streets. All supported by local church organizations and charities. My bet is if you got the federal government looters and welfare pimps out of Galveston's way the locals could take care of their own. Maybe if Galveston did it, Texas would follow. And then maybe even Oakland? Well maybe I am over-reaching. But at least let's leave Galveston alone.
