Our half-black, half-white, half-Muslim president addressed his ilk at Morehouse College today – “another historically black college”.

Obama, “I’m A Black Man”

(WaPo) President Obama on Sunday summoned the graduates of historically black Morehouse College to “transform the way we think about manhood,” urging the young men to avoid the temptation to make excuses and to take responsibility for their families and their communities.

Delivering a commencement address at the all-male private liberal arts college in Atlanta, Obama spoke in deeply personal terms about the “special obligation” he feels as a black man to help those left behind.

“There but for the grace of God, I might be in their shoes,” Obama said. “I might have been in prison. I might have been unemployed. I might not have been able to support a family — and that motivates me.”

The president also reflected on the absence of his father growing up, noting that he was raised by a “heroic single mother,” and urged the young graduates not to shrink from their family responsibilities.

“My whole life, I’ve tried to be for Michelle and my girls what my father wasn’t for my mother and me,” Obama said. “I want to break that cycle — where a father’s not at home, where a father’s not helping to raise that son and daughter. I want to be a better father, a better husband, a better man.”

In his 32-minute address, Obama was far more personal and reflective than he traditionally has been, especially on matters of racial discrimination. Obama delivered a similar speech three years ago when he addressed the graduates of Hampton University in Virginia, another historically black college.

He paid tribute to Martin Luther King Jr., a Morehouse graduate, noting that King’s education there “helped to forge the intellect, the discipline, the compassion, the soul force that would transform America.”

Obama added: “Laws and hearts and minds have been changed to the point where someone who looks just like you can somehow come to serve as president of these United States.”

Yet Obama acknowledged that “the bitter legacies of slavery and segregation” have not vanished, that discrimination still exists.

“As Morehouse men, many of you know what it’s like to be an outsider, to be marginalized, to feel the sting of discrimination. That’s an experience that a lot of Americans share,” Obama said.

Hispanic Americans, Obama lamented, are told to “go back” home while strangers pass judgment on the parenting skills of gay men and lesbians or stare at Muslim Americans with suspicion.

Within 3 hours of posting the following article on SHN, ”Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw tells citizens, ‘We want people to call us if the guy down the street says he hates the government‘ (Part 1: HERE) Drudge Report listed the story as its top news (still visible: HERE) and the owner of PBSOTalk contacted Sad Hill, grateful for shedding light on “one of the most corrupt Democrat leaders of any law enforcement agency in the country.”

After hearing PBSOTalk’s numerous encounters with Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, it became rather obvious why this particular sheriff would need to clamp down on free speech and those who hate ‘corrupt’ government…

Sheriff Ric Bradshaw; PBSO (Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office) on Wiki: HERE

UPDATE: There are now over 600 comments regarding a Sheriff Bradshaw article posted on his local paper’s website, and judging from what I read, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw will need to start investigating 600+ ‘corrupt-government haters’: HERE

UPDATE #2: Let’s hope the Palm Beach Post puts on their reporter’s hat (currently in storage like most government-subsidized mainstream media) and turns over a few documented rocks PBSOTalk is pointing out…

Sheriff Ric Bradshaw: The Most Corrupt Leader Of Any Law Enforcement Agency In The Country?

PBSOTalk owner – Mark Dougan, former deputy sheriff of Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) – shares his firsthand experience of sheriff Bradshaw’s attempts to ‘silence the truth’:

Sad Hill and SHN Readers,

My name is Mark Dougan and I own PBSOTalk.com. My web site is “Exposing the Culture of Corruption in the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.” I am under attack from the Palm Beach “Corruption County” Sheriff, Ric Bradshaw, and his Chief Deputy Michael Gauger for exercising my rights to free speech – exposing corruption within their organization. I know a bit about corruption in the agency – I was a deputy there until swift retaliation forced me to resign. After I blew the whistle on Brent Raban for posting his beatings on Facebook, and wrote in a report ‘a sergeant ordered me to commit a felony’, they levied a barrage of Internal Afairs investigations against me in an effort to have me terminated. Before this, I was the Deputy of the month in 2008 and nominated again that same year. My personnel file is riddled with letters of commendation from citizens and supervisors.

I was inspired and have always been awestruck by what Larry Flynt did for our First-Amendment rights ever since I saw the movie, “The People vs. Larry Flynt” in high school. Though I had not given these liberties much thought for many years, the importance of what Mr. Flynt did for our country has recently become apparent and I find myself fighting the same battles and have dedicated myself to the same cause.

Recently, a nationally renown law-enforcement author, Jim Donahue, who was arrested after filing to run against Sheriff Bradshaw, stated (Click HERE to hear the audio):

“Ric Bradshaw is one of the ringleaders of one of the most corrupt public organizations in the country. I have seen what has gone on in Palm Beach County and recognize that in that county there is a level of corruption and dishonesty that puts the Chicago political machine to shame. In fact, it’s the kind of people in power in Palm Beach County that are the kind of people my dad fought in WWII to WWII to defeat. They are threatening the very fabric of our republic.”

Mark Dougan – whistleblower

· Sheriff Ric Bradshaw was caught stealing a firearm from the evidence room (Click: HERE to view the documentation). In the same sworn deposition, it was discovered Sheriff Bradshaw ordered detectives to falsify evidence against a black defendant to put him in jail. Sheriff Bradshaw has already been successfully sued for discrimination and is currently facing up to 31 lawsuits for discrimination. If successful, the payouts for these suits come from the taxpayers.

· Sheriff Bradshaw’s friend, Lt. Dan Burrows, was caught stealing the pain medication off the nightstand of a man who was dying of cancer. Sheriff Bradshaw refused to let Internal Affairs take any action and ordered them to hide his crimes (Click HERE to read the story). When PBSO SWAT Lieutenant Dan Burrows was caught stealing the pain medication off the nightstand of a dying deputy and made that same dying deputy to get out of his “death bed” and open his safe to steal additional pain meds and firearms, Sheriff Bradshaw attempted to conceal this crime and arrested the disgusted IA investigator who leaked it to the media.

· Sheriff Ric Bradshaw was using his county credit card to treat campaign contributors to meals at lavish restaurants and bars. Some of these people have ties to the Colombo Crime Family. (Click HERE to view the documentation). Sheriff Bradshaw was fully aware of these ties to organized crime, as it was pointed out by the Palm Beach Post in 2008 (Click HERE to read the Palm Beach Post article). The Florida Ethics Commission found that the purchases with taxpayer money were “not in the proper performance in his official duties.”

· Sheriff Ric Bradshaw has been extorting money from seniors by raising their property taxes. He threatens they will become victims of violent gang-related crime because he will have to shut down their substations and cut police services. He then uses the money to buy off civilian employees who work for his campaign, to include about $6 Million per year in “company cars” the civilians drive to and from work and free gasoline, all funded by the taxpayer (Click HERE to view the documentation).

· Sheriff Bradshaw committed two felonies in May 2011 when he falsified an official document, alleging fraud, to receive a new county purchasing card in an attempt to hide his purchases from records request.

· Sheriff Bradshaw spent $12,313 to purchase silver-plated revolvers, complete with engraved name plaques, to present to each elected Sheriff in Florida. When public records requests were made, the Sheriff repeatedly lied (committing four misdemeanor counts of violating the sunshine law), however, a photograph from Sheriff Martin Crowder was obtained, as well as a confirmation that he was personally presented the firearm from Bradshaw. Also obtained was the invoice from the distributor which shows that they were purchased by the Sheriff’s Office (Click: HERE for the documentation. Note: the invoice has a typo but it was made out to PBSO’s address and to the attention to PBSO Events Coordinator Carol Verdigi).

· Sheriff Ric Bradshaw spent $89,000 on three(3) massive BBQ grills to be used at reelection campaign events, as well as being used for fund raising drives for the P.B.C. Police Benevolent Association. This does not include the three(3) diesel trucks in the amount of about $100,000. This information is known far and wide and even brought up in the candidate debate at the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office race. What an embarrassment to the citizens of Palm Beach County (to see the records, click: HERE).

· Sheriff Ric Bradshaw allowed a PBSO Lieutenant to commit felonies to include wiretapping. There were also credible allegations of rape, with evidence, though it was swept under the rug.

· I obtained and posted a deposition where a police chief testified Sheriff Bradshaw stole a gun from evidence and ordered detectives to fabricate reports to convict blacks.

· I obtained proof he was falsifying public records.

· I obtained proof he was using tax payer dollars to take campaign contributors with ties to organized crime to fancy restaurants.

· I have uncovered millions in waste, fraud and abuse, reported by many local newspapers and television stations.

In addition to having an anonymous forum that allows people to post statements and corruption about the Palm Beach County government without fear of retaliation, I post the documents I receive in my document repository, located at http://docs.pbsotalk.com so that people can see the proof for themselves.

As a former police officer, I found that far too many leaders twist the laws and use them for the personal benefit of stifling free speech. I am now a target for my web site and writings and they are targeting people anonymously posting and “blowing the whistle” on my site.

To protect the anonymity of those posting on my web site, I have my own server. I pride myself in providing honest cops with a forum to anonymously blow the whistle. Since I do not log IP addresses, there is no way they can subpoena this information from me like they can from a typical web host.

Since I started my web site, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office started a massive criminal investigation to try and seize my server that hosts my web forum. I found this out when the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office arrested an Internal Affairs Lieutenant (Johnson) on five felony counts for leaking information to my web site.

The information he was leaking was the fact that a S.W.A.T. Lieutenant (Burrows) was stealing pain medications from a deputy dying a horrible death from cancer. The Sheriff, being friends with Lt. Burrows, ordered Internal Affairs to sweep it under the rug. It was leaked to my site and therefore the media, which forced the Sheriff to take action. In the arrest affidavit for Lt. Johnson, it was revealed I was the subject of a criminal investigation in an attempt to seize my computers and shut down my web site. In fact, the arrest affidavit states, “They [the investigators] are trying to find anything they can on this guy but keep running into brick walls… They have nothing so they can’t seize his computers…”

They couldn’t charge me criminally so in February 2013, so the Sheriff’s campaign manager attempted to purchase my web site in the amount of $75,000 using taxpayer’s money. I refused and instead flew an airplane banner over the Honda Classic Golf Tournament that stated:

“Our Sheriff is a Thief – PBSOTalk.com”

Sheriff Bradshaw and Chief Deputy Gauger know they cannot silence me:

· They know I am willing to trade my liberty to allow the anonymous, protected free speech of those within the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office and anyone else who wants to post on my web site.

· They know they cannot intimidate me – they have already harassed my family and friends at their places of employment as well as threatening me with criminal arrest and I have repeatedly told them I shall not yield.

· They know they cannot deter me – my brother received a telephone call from Chief Deputy Gauger about a month ago. Gauger told my brother he was investigating my entire family and it would not stop until my web site was shut down. When my brother told him he could not be of assistance, he told my brother if he tells me of the phone call, he will have him arrested for divulging the nature of a criminal investigation (there is no such charge in Florida that applies to civilians).

This is my fight but it is not only my fight. It is the fight of every American that values the protections set forth in the Constitution of the United States. It is a fight to defend our freedom of speech for when the government takes it away from me, a man willing to give everything to protect it, they will take it away from everyone who is not as dedicated as I.

Thank you.

In short, if you speak out against our ‘loving’ government then you’re probably a ‘mental health case‘…

Nazi County Sheriff, “We Want People To Call Us If The Guy Down The Street Says He Hates The Government”

(palmbeachpost) Florida House and Senate budget leaders have awarded Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw $1 million for a new violence prevention unit aimed at preventing tragedies like those in Newtown, Conn., and Aurora, Colo., from occurring on his turf.

Bradshaw plans to use the extra $1 million to launch “prevention intervention” units featuring specially trained deputies, mental health professionals and caseworkers. The teams will respond to citizen phone calls to a 24-hour hotline with a knock on the door and a referral to services, if needed.

The goal will be avoiding crime — and making sure law enforcement knows about potential powder kegs before tragedies occur, Bradshaw said. But the earmark, which is a one-time-only funding provision, provoked a debate Monday among mental health advocates and providers about the balance between civil liberties, privacy and protecting the public.

Bradshaw said his proposal is a first-of-its-kind in the nation, and he hopes it will become a model for the rest of the state like his gang prevention and pill-mill units.

“Every single incident, whether it’s Newtown, that movie theater, or the guy who spouts off at work and then goes home and kills his wife and two kids — in every single case, there were people who said they knew ahead of time that there was a problem,” Bradshaw said. “If the neighbor of the mom in Newtown had called somebody, this might have saved 25 kids’ lives.”

Bradshaw is readying a hotline and is planning public service announcements to encourage local citizens to report their neighbors, friends or family members if they fear they could harm themselves or others.

The goal won’t be to arrest troubled people but to get them help before there’s violence, Bradshaw said. As a side benefit, law enforcement will have needed information to keep a close eye on things.

“We want people to call us if the guy down the street says he hates the government, hates the mayor and he’s gonna shoot him,” Bradshaw said. “What does it hurt to have somebody knock on a door and ask, ‘Hey, is everything OK?’ ”

That’s enough for Senate budget chief Joe Negron, R-Stuart, who helped push through the funding last weekend.

~snip~

Mental health advocates, however, worry about a potential new source of stigma, and the potential for erosion of the civil rights of people with mental illnesses.

“How are they possibly going to watch everybody who makes a comment like that? It’s subjective,” said Liz Downey, executive director of the Palm Beach County branch of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. “We don’t want to take away people’s civil liberties just because people aren’t behaving the way we think they should be.”

WARNING America: If we forget history, then we can forget the future.

This from an article I ran back in 2010 (HERE):

Bush’s Epitaph

1. Joined with open-borders progressives McCain and Kennedy to try to force shamnesty down our throats.

2. Massively expanded the federal role in education.

3. Championed the Medicare prescription drug entitlement using phony math.

4. Kowtowed to the jihadi-enabling Saudis.

5. Stocked DHS with incompetents and cronies.

6. Pushed Hillarycare for housing.

7. Enabled turncoat Arlen Specter.

8. Nominated crony Harriet Myers to the Supreme Court.

9. Pre-socialized the economy for Obama by embracing TARP, the auto bailouts, the AIG bailout, and in his own words: “I’ve abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system.” – George W. Bush

Other Bushisms: Hillary and Bush agree on subsidization, the subprime mortgage bailout, a 2nd massive housing entitlement package followed by an economic stimulus plan in excess of $150 billion, passage of the $2.7 billion Bush housing boondoggle, the $85 billion bailout of AIG and the $25 billion auto bailout.

As Michelle Malkin added, ’Some of us haven’t forgotten. And we’re not going to let the GOP leadership in Washington forget, either.’

But wait, there’s more…

Readers, this is just one of the many ways our anti-constitutional government is regulating firearms without the need to pass more laws.

The best part is, bankrupt $0 taxpaying GE was bailed out by the Obama administration using your money.

Interesting isn’t it, that the only stores able to receive future lending from government-subsidized GE Capital are big boxers such as Walmart and Dick’s Sporting Goods that showed their support for  heavy gun regulation by pulling firearms from their shelves and websites immediately following Sandy Hook: HERE

Bankrupt Bailed-Out Government-Subsidized GE Capital Stops Lending to Gun Stores

(Breitbart) General Electric’s financial wing, GE Capital, is “quietly” cutting ties with gun stores. The financial group is sending notices to gun stores letting them know ties are being severed and funds will no longer be available for lending.

GE Capital says this action is in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting.

Interestingly, the father of Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza is Peter Lanza, an executive at GE Capital.

Additionally, GE did take stimulus money during Obama’s first term; no one has addressed whether that bailout has impacted the financial group’s decisions in any way.

GE Capital is only ending business relations with companies that carry firearms exclusively but will continue to work with retail giants that sell products other than guns, like Wal-Mart and Dick’s Sporting Goods.

Conveniently, this stipulation allows GE Capital to maintain business relations with Wal-Mart, despite the retailer being “the nation’s largest seller of guns and ammunition.”

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and Barack Obama, birds of a feather…

How Long Befor Dzhokhar Starts Palling Around With Obama?

(American Thinker) With his capture Friday evening in Boston, terrorist bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev would seem to have abandoned all hope of ever amounting to anything useful.  He may, however, be selling his adopted country short.  In America, at least in certain quarters thereof, our fellow citizens have a history of rehabilitating terrorists and restoring them to places of honor.

President Barack Obama knows something about this.  It was no more than fifteen years after Bill Ayers walked away — “Guilty as hell. Free as a bird.” — from his 1970′s career as an underground bomber that he became Obama’s mentor, political adviser, and literary ghost.  Ayers went on to become a distinguished professor of education at the University of Illinois and a much-sought after speaker at educational conferences around the country.  Chin up, Dzhokhar!

During the 2008 election cycle, of course, the media did not want to know about any of this.  Ben Smith, then of Politico, had reported as fact Obama adviser David Axelrod’s claim that the Obama-Ayers relationship went no deeper than the happenstance that their children “attend the same school.”  True, upon learning that Obama’s oldest child was born 18 years after Ayers’ youngest, Smith added a comically circuitous “update,” but the media shied from chasing the story or even chiding Axelrod.

At the time, however, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, as a former Clinton aide, had his own agenda.  During an April 2008 presidential debate, he asked Obama about Ayers.  ”He was part of the Weather Underground in the 1970s,” Stephanopoulos reminded the audience.  ”They bombed the Pentagon, the Capitol, and other buildings.  He’s never apologized for that.”  He then asked Obama, “Can you explain that relationship for the voters and explain to Democrats why it won’t be a problem?”

More: HERE

And Obama just warned America ‘not to rush to judgement’ in the wake of the Boston bombings…

(Breitbart) ”In this age of instant reporting, tweets, and blogs, there’s a temptations to latch on to any bit of information sometimes to jump to conclusions. When a tragedy like this happens, with public safety at risk and the stakes so high, it’s important we do this right. That’s why we have investigations that’s why we relentlessly gather the facts, that’s why we have courts. That’s why we take care not to rush to judgement, not about the motivations of these individuals and certainly not about entire groups of people.”

Dzhokarh a doper? Yeah, just like the Newtown killer and folk(s) that fired shots at Denver’s pot-rally yesterday, but drugs aren’t the problem…

(Mirror) Katherine, wearing a black hijab, was picked up by FBI agents at their home in Cambridge near Boston on Friday. Dope-smoker Dzhokhar was captured after a Watertown resident called police to say the fugitive was hiding in a boat in his back garden.

On the heels of Magpul’s mass exodus, yet another gun accessory manufacturer has decided to flee the People’s Republic of Colorado due to recently imposed gun restrictions.

HiViz Gun Accessory Manufacturer Flees Colorado 

(Report-Herald) In opposition to recent gun restrictions, Fort Collins-based HiViz Shooting Systems announced Monday its decision to leave Colorado.

The company, which started in Fort Collins in 1996, manufactures light-gathering sights, recoil pads and other gun accessories.

According to a company spokesman, HiViz has received an outpouring of support since announcing its decision to move out of state following the Colorado Legislature’s approval of laws requiring universal background checks and limiting ammunition magazine sizes.

Representatives of economic development boards and chambers of commerce in Casper, Wyo., Rapid City, S.D., and Arizona have contacted HiViz in attempts to entice the company to choose their city, according to marketing director Jeff Maust.

“But we cannot in clear conscience support with our taxes a state that has proven through recent legislation a willingness to infringe upon the constitutional rights of our customer base.”

~snip~

Ah… suck it up HiViz! Taxpaying producers such as yourself and Magpul are a detriment to Colorado’s economy and well-being. Thankfully, those that depend on your products and services are already being severely punished…

Colorado Magazine Ban Forces Shooting Competition Cancelations

(Breitbart) An International Defensive Pistol Association competition scheduled to be held on July 4 in Montrose, CO, three days after the state’s new magazine ban will go into effect, has been been canceled due to concerns over the inability to legally acquire magazines for the shoot.

Moreover, because 300 shooters were scheduled to attend from all over the country, there were concerns that shooters bringing their own “high capacity” magazines might be found in violation of the new laws.

Match coordinator Walt Proulx explained, “If someone were planning to come to the events, and for some reason needed to get new magazines for [the guns] they brought with them on July 2, they would technically be in violation as soon as [their plane] touched the ground.”

The cancellation of this event comes on the heels of Ruger Firearms’ announcement that they will be moving the 2013 Ruger Rimfire Challenge World Championship out of the state of Colorado as well.

URGENT UPDATE (04.03.2023): Associated Press Bans Use Of ‘Illegal Immigrant’

The Associated Press, the largest news-gathering outlet in the world, will no longer use the term “illegal immigrant.”

The news came in the form of a blog entry authored by Senior Vice President and Executive Editor Kathleen Carroll on Tuesday afternoon, explaining that the decision is part of the company’s on-going attempt to rid their Stylebook of labels. More: HERE

Illegal Immigrants – “Doing The Job Americans Won’t Do”

(Moonbattery) A staggering 62% of Arizona immigrant households collect welfare. The three largest states, California, Texas, and New York, are close behind at 61%.

While illegal immigrants certainly know their way to the federal teat, legal immigrant households take advantage of every available welfare program, according to the study, which attributes it to low education level and resulting low income. The highest rate of welfare recipients come from the Dominican Republic (82%), Mexico and Guatemala (75%) and Ecuador (70%), according to the report, which says welfare use tends to be high for both new arrivals and established residents.

Doing the jobs Americans won’t do? In Obama’s economy, Americans will do any job, if only they can find one. Our government is importing these massive hordes of unskilled Third World peasants to cast the votes Americans won’t cast in return for more money than they could make by working back home.

If you think the situation is bad now, wait until Big Government finishes ramming through amnesty. No one who wishes this country well could be pleased.

Important illegal alien data from Judicial Watch:

Census Bureau data reveals that most U.S. families headed by illegal immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare programs on behalf of their American-born anchor babies. Even before the recession, immigrant households with children used welfare programs at consistently higher rates than natives, according to the extensive census data collected and analyzed by a nonpartisan Washington D.C. group dedicated to researching legal and illegal immigration in the U.S. The results, published this month in a lengthy report, are hardly surprising. Basically, the majority of households across the country benefiting from publicly-funded welfare programs are headed by immigrants, both legal and illegal.
