An Honest Review of Rihanna's Diamond's

Generic

Let me start by saying that I am not a Rihanna fan, but most readers of mine know that. I don't think she can sing, dance and I find the length of her career baffling. It's all show and no substance. That said, she has extended her 15 minutes of fame to 45, while her Milli Vanilli track got stuck on "ella" back in 2005. This new single, she claims is different from what the world would expect, or more like what was recycled from the black bag from a different era. Nothing Rihanna does is interesting, original, shocking, or new. I can pinpoint which celebrity she borrowed from, the time period she is "drawing inspiration from", when she is about to release an album or single based on what she is doing in the media, time of year and her hair colors. She says , "It's laid-back but it's hopeful," she added, "It's a record that... gives me such a great feeling when I listen to it. The lyrics are very hopeful and positive, but it's about love and... a little different to what people would expect, I think." 

This "song" is what I expected, auto tune, and repetition, so you failed in your task, but I am not a member of the Navy... Did you write the lyrics to this song? No. Do you write the lyrics to any of your other songs? No. So you just cash the check after doing 15 minutes of work while the world suffers. It's more of the same from Mayor McCheese, It's nothing. But I am relieved that she can in fact think. 

Let's examine the single artwork. Typically, she is half naked, in some provocative pose, attempting to be sexy in a "hey look at me", but don't look at me, way of being sexy. This time she has rolling papers with diamonds in them. It appears to be an attempt, in the Rihanna twitter thug world to be edgy or interesting, but it just seemed like a rip off of something Prince or Rick James did back in the 80's. I mean whose idea was this? Was this a product of a smoke out session, because that's what it looks like. You can solve the worlds problems with the right amount of weed, and apparently Rihanna thinks that this album is necessary and we will blame it on the weed. In actuality, she ripped off David LaChappele yet again. He had an ad where models were snorting guess what? DIAMONDS. No originality, as I said.

Secondly, the song had nothing to do with drug paraphernalia, much to my amazement, even though the cover art clearly showed drugs paraphernalia, but hey, whatever...again, this was a lame attempt to be cool. Probably since we have seen every inch of her body and every hair color, what else is left? We have seen her toking up and getting down with strippers, so ripping off Rick James is OK now.


Let's look at the song itself. The song is a generic love song, actually as generic as it comes. When I say generic, think of no name brand corn flakes. It's a welcome change from garbage like "suck my cockiness/ lick my persuasion", but again it's tragically generic. It's really time to take a break if this is the best we can come up with, or this is what a Million dollar song writer poops out. I think this song gave me the mud butt from the random boredom of this song. The song is insanely repetitive, what Rihanna song isn't, but don't take my word for it:

Undeserved Sense of Entitlement

I swear this literally had to take 5 minutes...it's the same hook, and verse repeated, so, as you see, the lyrics are basically her saying "shine bright like a diamond" over and over with an accent that sounds eerily similar to Zap Mama. It's auto-tuned of course, and intended to be introspective, but it's still shallow and pointless just like all Rihanna songs. How can an artist churn out an album a year and her fans expect there to be any there, there? Let's not mention that once again she didn't write one note, or one lyric, or should I say, "shine bright like a diamond". She couldn't even write that, but I have to forever see on instagram the never ending string of tattoo's, tit shots, hair color changes, bikini booty shots, sunglasses while she stares straight ahead with black nail polish, or calls someone the c-word. But, she is too busy to actually write a song as idiotic as Diamonds or We Found Love, that's a task that she has to phone in. 

Just like everything she does she copies, chases trends, and pretends, the definition of a model. Is this a good song? It's the least annoying song out of the songs she has released in the last 2 years, so that probably means that it won't be a commerical success. People want terrible tweaker music to dance to, and this isn't that. Rihanna isn't an R&B singer no matter how they try to wedge her into the genre, so I don't see her songs in demand at weddings or ethnic events for real. 

It's time for the goat to really give it a rest now, and have her studio wizards write her a real introspective album, not a shallow piece of fluff that's generic and boring. The Navy is too brain dead to defect, they are the cult of Rihanna and will defend any bad performance, off key song, idiotic song with profanity, heated anger, the worst twitter and facebook bullying a 15 year old can stand.

This song should be called Diamonds and Rust.

My Top 20 Worst Songs of 2012...So Far

God, Make It Stop!

It's Only September, but music seriously churns out the most wretched garbage. Rihanna and Taylor Swift are defecating another album of auto tuned nothing with 5 chord progressions this fall, so let me go ahead and provide my list of crap music thus far:

20.  Call Me Maybe- Carly Rae Jepson
I truly don't understand why this girl is around, or what she's doing, but she needs to go back to Canada and try again. She's just awful, maybe just a step above Rebecca Black and I mean barely.

19. What Makes You Beautiful- One Direction
This group makes the Jonas Brothers seem straight. They don't sing, dance, they just go to the hamper, put on flannel shirts, skinny jeans, green pants, and cardigans and stand on stage. Not to mention, all of them have those mod douche bag hair cuts where one side is swept to one side of their head. They have no stage presence, it's like the cast of American Pie, set to music, minus the funny little monkey or the pie rape. But, there is plenty of ear rape.

18.  Laserlight- Jessie J featuring David Guetta
Anything with David Guetta is pretty much the mark of death. Jessie J is a great pop artist with a beautiful and great style. She is one of the few singers that can actually sing without assistance of a computer. But this song is heavy synth beats, boring lyrics, and long periods of music to fill the bars. David Guetta is the Uwe Boll of music.Yeah, I said it UWE BOLL.

17. Whistle- Flo Rida
How clever...can I blow his whistle? He says he will show me how to do it? Where have I heard this before?  Whistle while you twerk back in the 90's? Is that what he is talking about? Yeah, he does even say "whistle while you twerking" in the lyrics, so that's really what we doing now? Ripping off the Ying Yang Twins? That was a far superior song to this. In the video, this fool is wearing a sweater on a beach, in addition to wearing sunglasses at night. There were girls dancing in 90's era striped dresses plus cheesy pinatas set up Mexican theme. Did I mention we were on the beach?! Come on...

16. Turn Out The Lights- Future
What happens when you cross a retarded person with auto-tune and give him a record deal? You get this song. It has a weird reverb and he yells "LIGHTS" for some reason. It's quite odd and terrible.

Truly Suffering

15. Payphone- Maroon 5
Pedestrian lyrics, pedestrian beat and they threw in some profanity to be avant garde but the song is tragically dull. Pretty much like all Maroon 5 songs, which should be marooned on Saturn 5. They even decided to animate the video, which is so fresh and new. Well...it was 30 years ago, when Aha! did it with "Take On Me."

14.  Turn Me On- David Guetta featuring Nicki Minaj
Why? This song makes no sense. Who told Nicki to sing? She isn't really...I listened to this song in the salon for months before I realized that this was Nicki Minaj, I seriously thought this was some non descript pop singer. If the intent was to sound like everyone else and sing about nothing in particular, then Nicki, you succeeded. This song was dreadful, stupid, boring and just eh...

13.  Girl Gone Wild- Madonna
I have to admit that video with the guys in the heels and all the other images were cool, indeed something the new school pop copycats like Gaga and Rihanna will inspire to imitate in a few years when they think we have forgotten. (Well Gaga, because Rihanna is running on fumes). But the lyrics are terrible, we expect so much more from Madge, not "hey-ey-ey-ey, girls gone wild, girls gone wild." She did better when she bleated Like A Virgin twirling around in a cropped top with rubber bracelets.

12. Turn Up the Music- Chris Brown
Oh God...turn this down...it's terrible. I know that he thinks he is MJ reincarnated, but this is ridiculous. The chorus, the tribal "whoa, oh, oh," it's cringe inducing or gag reflex inducing, I think some of my egg's dried up. Explain to me, how Mr. Brown is always auto-tuned to death, even when he's singing in the studio? It's like listening to Robo Cop sing.

11. Right By My Side- Nicki Minaj (Chris Brown)
So this is the "No Air" 2.0. Except instead of a real singer, we have 2 auto tune crooners who can't do anything live. 2 monkeys for the price of none. Again, who told Nicki she could sing? She looks like Kahn from Star Trek, You know the Wrath of Kahn. How did Nas get sucked into this phuckery? Nas can rap! Nicki, why are you wearing a shirt with a panda on it? How old are you? I forgot, you like to dress like a pre-schooler, then talk about who you sleep with, how long your bank is and strippers. Stupid as hell.

10.  Starships- Nicki Minaj
Those of us that had the misfortune of actually listening to Pink Friday knew Nicki was Pop, but with this travesty, there was no denying it any longer. This song, if you can call it that, is truly a confusing mess of commercialized fecal matter served to the mindless masses who doesn't know better. This song should've been a moment of shame for her and her label or anyone possessing this album.

9. You Da One- Rihanna
Probably one of the most irritating songs she has released to date, and that's an accomplishment because every song is annoying. "You da one, you da one, I think about all day, eh, eh, eh, eh". Really? Without fail, every song she has will have her repeating the same lyric such as: "eh, yeah, nah, lah, baby, oh, ah." They will either be used separately or in combination with other words, but it helps fill in the 16 bars needed to create a "song". Think about it...I'm not lying...

8. Beez In The Trap- Nicki Minaj
I liked this song for about 5 seconds and then I realized this was Nicki Minaj. Here is my issue with this song. This album we got Nicki singing badly on Starships talking about her endorsements and how much money she has or being turned on with David Guetta, now she is in the trap and hustling. Which is it? Fraudulence is what it is.

7. Round of Applause- Waka Flocka Flame, Drake
What am I cheering for? Oh, when the song goes off? I thought Waka was doing the world and music a favor by retiring. But it seems like he wants to continue to terrorize the world with terrible rap with the most overrated rapper in the game. I mean they just say "Bust it" over and over in the chorus. If God truly were merciful, he would bust my speakers or my eardrums to spare me from the odious sounds coming from my radio.

6. Roman Holiday- Nick Minaj
The song that proves that Nicki has truly lost her mind. Rambling incoherently in different voices isn't rapping,  it's symptoms of a mental disorder. She is the highest paid psychotic in history. People like her should be studied and locked up, not put on stage or called talented.

5.  Birthday Cake- Rihanna (Chris Brown)
Lazy lyrics, horrible beat, and a rip off of the song "Ass". The song is so stupid that it defies logic, just like every interview or statement she gives. First off, cake means ass, right? So she is saying that the guy wants her cake, ok, got it. Then, he, meaning the guy wants to lick the icing off? What icing? That's a reference to his male fluids. I can tell you, that unless he is some weird freak, he won't want to lick his icing off. In order to distract us from the sheer idiocy of the lyrics we just say "cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake."
*Groans*

4.  Faded- Tyga
This is stupid and he sounds like any random rapper. Congratulations on rapping about absolutely nothing.

3. Sorry for Party Rocking- LMFAO
Sorry for the toilet rocking from the vomit should be the name. To enjoy this music one must be high on everything. The song sounds like a long belch set to a pathetic excuse for a beat. The concept of the video and song is a bastardized "fight for your right to party" or "we're not going to take it" minus the musical skills or the lyrical ability. Awful, just awful.

2.  Boyfriend- Justin Bieber
Corny raps, "I'll be your Buzz Lightyear, flying across the globe", "sitting by the fire eating fondue". It's very Justin Timberlake minus the cool and the cerebral. You can tell that Justin been around blacks and that kind of helped with his musical style, but in this song, it's like there is a owl shrieking in the background and that's what determined the beat. It's auto tuned to death and did I mention the rap was shockingly terrible and should never be attempted again.

1.  Stupid Hoe- Nicki Minaj
This song marks the beginning of the end of days. What happens when you mix a terrible beat made up of sound effects, a horrible voice that can only be described as the most awful thing ever?

Add in some flashy images of a synthetic ass with some of the DUMBEST, most AWFUL (and RIDICULOUSLY ironic) lyrics ever, and you have Stupid Hoe. Congratulations Nicki Minaj! You are officially worse than BrokenCYDE, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Rihanna, and Paris Hilton. I hope your success completely backfires!

There is absolutely nothing good about this song. Nicki Minaj's voice is this annoying helium-filled mess that makes your ears bleed, and the lyrics make no sense. This is supposed to be a diss towards Lil Kim, but no one would be able to tell without knowing that it's a diss song. At least "Boyfriend" had a catchy chorus, whereas this song is just "You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe" repeated over and over again. And don't even get me started on the awful, whooping beat. I would rather hear the owl...

Nicki Minaj is the real "stupid hoe" for writing and singing this song. Seriously it sucks.

Dishonorable mentions that sucked but just not enough to make the list...

We Found Love- Rihanna
Seriously the song has two lines, a repetitious chorus, "We Found Love in a Hopeless Place, We Found Love in a Hopeless Place." about 40 times. In between the hypnotic repetition, there is long periods of techno music with no words at all. I guess it's the "let's not and say we did", school of music.

Mercy- Kanye West, Pusha T, 2- Chainz
How I hate this song...I don't like the sampling of music from the Scarface soundtrack and most importantly I hate 2-Chainz. It's just a crap fest of suck.

No Lie- 2-Chainz, Drake
This magnum opus has the wonderful wordsmithing where 2-chainz rhymes "ass", with "ass", with "ass" again,  then throws in "bag" and tosses in "ass" to confuse us. How he got a record deal is nothing short of amazing.

2 Reasons- Trey Songz
Another song about clubbing, drinking and getting chicks from this guy. What songs does that sound like? Bottoms Up perhaps minus Tourette sometime rapper Nicki Minaj? Trey is a one trick auto tune pony. If his shirt is on, I'm not interested in anything he has to say. Well, I'm not interested in anything he has to say, I just want to look at him and he isn't allowed to think or speak. Judging by his lyrics, it seems as if a chicken has laid eggs in the space in his cranial cavity.

Pound the Alarm- Nicki Minaj
Words can't express how bad this song is. It's not as bad as Stupid Hoe but worse than Starships. It's low rent, tasteless and there is no point to the song other than partying from what I can ascertain from the lyrics. Of course she brags about her being a brand, being cool and had a weird video where she looked like a swamp monster invading a Rio parade. Let's just say Flo Rida wearing a sweater on a beach looked like he belonged better than Nicki. It's like someone stuck feathers on her feet a la Coming to America, bedazzled a bikini and gave her usual stupid blonde lacefront, (don't know which video hoe Barbie she was).

There will probably be more added to this list as the year goes on or I hear other things, we got 3 months to go and more money to be had. As the desire for money to be made goes up, the creativity suffers and musical integrity goes down. This list is the worst of the worst.

Available on Itunes

This list isn't just feces, it isn't just dog feces, but it's the exact moment when dog feces turns white.

Nicki Minaj Puts Death Knell in American Idol

There Can Only Be Only One HBIC

I can't completely blame her for killing the show, Fox should just end the show on a high note instead of dragging it on and scraping the bottom of the barrel. Accept the fact that the show has run it's course and  cancel it, have a cake, and a big party, and have some pride. It's in it's death throes and her/ their addition as a "judge" illustrates the desperation by the producers to save a show, a product, that is watered down to the point that is has no meaning, just like the deteriorating music industry itself. You see...The addition of Nicki Minaj only makes sense, she is both a symptom and a disease of the very industry that she will sit in judgment on, with the hopes of bringing in her insipid Barbz every week to pad the ratings. Good luck with that. Not to mention the added tension between head Diva in charge Mimoo and whichever personality video hoe Barbie comes as that day.  How hard is it to have people in the industry that can actually sing without gimmicks? Do you see Adele, Sade, Marsha Ambrosia, Mary J. Blige and Jennifer Hudson, (when she isn't singing about losing weight) jumping around in corsets, crazy wigs, rhyming the same syllable, having multiple personalities and pretending to be gay or do they stand on their talent with strong song writing, vocal ability, and lyrics?

I Run This

This seems like Simon's practical joke or a cynical way to get people to tune in to X-Factor or the even The Voice. Oh wait, they have and they will. There is already a story that Mariah and Nicki are "feuding" and in celebrity terms that usually means a twitter beef or  just snubbing each other in a club while sending rude messages to one another via their man servants or their body guards. According to TMZ, when Nicki, the epitome of trash, started critiquing a contestant, Mariah would continually interrupt. Each time Mariah interrupted, Nicki fought back by loudly talking over Mariah. Mariah took to Twitter to comment about the first taping, writing, “several classic moments so far.” Yeah, I'm sure, but I won't be seeing this epic battle of who is the biggest bitch because I have seen this show but better on Real Housewives of something or Mob Wives and they at least made no illusions about he purpose of their shows. I would rather watch Bad Girls kick some random whore in the face, while calling a the new room mate "the bottom bitch" or replacement, as they throw her mattress in the pool over this bit of piss and wind. Nicki Minaj isn't fit to judge talent. Do they have to dance or have a gay dance troupe behind them with so many flashing lights that they hypnotize people into believing that they are actually producing a quality product warranting merit. Speaking of product placement...Isn't it odd that the show is endorsed by Coke and Nicki and her enormous distorted ass is owned by Pepsi? I guess the milk truly has gone bad and her ass is for sell to the highest bidder. It's like she is a giant billboard but the only thing missing is good music or talent.

Mariah is a fitting judge for this dying albatross of a show, because as a judge she can be respected and can be in a position to judge others. Nicki? Don't make me laugh. Considering most of the contestants on Idol would have as much or more talent than her, unless they let her lipsynch or auto tune the chorus in her so called raps, then she will be elite level.

This show has become about the judges, not the contestants, which is not the point of the show, if I'm not mistaken, I don't watch the show. I imagine watching paint dry would be more climactic than watching this show, that seems rigged to have the "white guy with a guitar" named the winner, who then releases a boring, generic album who is never heard from again. American Idol is the name of the show, not American Bitches. This show lost credibility with J. Hoe, but now this cat fight for ratings? Pass. If it's an argument over whom has more musical talent, it's Mariah, even if her voice is not as strong as it was a decade ago.

Remember Me?

Mimoo may not be as popular as she once was, her star may have fizzled, yet she could hold a high note sitting on a stool or standing still wearing a flannel shirt or cutoff shorts. She sold millions of records because of her crossover appeal and writers supplied by her ex-handler husband. The only gimmick Mariah had was about 3 "emancipation albums" and getting more and more naked. Nicki on the other hand, is trash, Flavor Flav jacking ways, acting a fool to a confused audience does not a bonafide musical judge make.

$12 Million for this? I hope you kept the receipt for this freak show.

Jay-Z and Beyonce to Host Obama Fundraiser, They are The 1%

My Girl Look So Good She Look Like A Bag of  Money...

Let Them Eat Cake

Surely they know this...Beyowulf might not... She claims that she has been "middle class" all her life, but her middle class is different from my interpretation of "middle class". A fashion designer mother and a music producer father, private tutors, living in a mansion is a bit different from an accountant or realtor parent.

But Jay-Z grew up in the streets at least that's what he tells us in his god forsaken repetitive lyrics in each mediocre Blue Print and now Watch the Throne album he craps out whenever he feels like pissing out something every couple of years. He lived a hard life in the projects, was a drug dealer, had to hustle and struggle, etc...all of those components that used to make hip hop an art form before it became name dropping the popular car of the minute, (Maybach, Phantom or Buggati), how low their chain is, how much ice their watch has, how much weed they smoke or how much their liquor cost, how they can buy the bar and how they can take any body's hoe because they are the coolest nigga in the world.

Jay-Z loves to present himself as a upgraded thug intellectual and I think that's mostly because he's old as hell and by comparison to Beyonce or Wacka Flocka, being called "smart" next to them is like being the smartest kid in the room with Down Syndrome. If the conversation is purely about rap or New York, then he's good. If it's anything else, it's bad, shockingly stupid. So it amazes me that he is hosting a party for a man that wants to raise his taxes. Someone who thinks he is a fat cat and an opportunistic leech. Maybe Obama isn't paying close attention, but Jigga Man utters GOP talking points out of those fat, dry rat lips.

Remember when Occupy Wall street was in the height of it's popularity? Jigga man decided to capitalize on the movement and commission shirts that said "Occupy All Streets", cool right? Except his cheap, swap meet, b.s. clothing line didn't donate any money to the movement. Jay-Z stated confusion as to what the mission or purpose of occupy was and said, "When you just say that 'the one percent is that,' that's not true. Yeah, the 1 percent that's robbing people, and deceiving people, these fixed mortgages and all these things, and then taking their home away from them, that's criminal, that's bad. Not being an entrepreneur. This is free enterprise. This is what America is built on." He goes on to say, "What's the thing on the wall, what are you fighting for? I'm not going to a park and picnic, I have no idea what to do, I don't know what the fight is about. What do we want, do you know?"

Did you forget where you came from Jay? What is the fight about? Didn't you come from the projects? Don't you try in vain to convince me that you a the Godfather or some type of hit man? Don't you try to convince me you are level headed, real, how hard you struggled, that you were damn near homeless sleeping on a card board box? Are you truly so unrelatable now, that all we have in common are black t-shirts? One of the criticisms of Watch the Throne and hip hop in general is the intense love of capitalism to a fault and the fact that the album was mediocre.  Where is the revolutionary satire that told stories of the plight of the poor and disenfranchised? That's what made rap popular and an art form that the suburban kids could relate to. Or is it just part of the art until they become part of the 1% and then they sell out to the highest bidder? Just sign the check...

 I can say for myself, I have never been homeless, lived in the projects, been exposed to drugs, or any destructive things that makes for good music. I have two parents that are still together, went to private school, college, law school, no kids, didn't get pregnant in high school, nothing bad...but if somehow I got $1Million, just one, I wouldn't just forget my entire life prior to getting money and then wonder "how the other side lives" or "why are these people pissed off about banks making record profits after the government bailed them out?" That's not a difficult concept. Maybe it is for him, maybe he got high on his on supply from back in the days when he was "dealing", and some of his brain cells were irreparably damaged. 

Love The Camel Toe?

I have said numerous times, if you have nothing of value to say, just stop talking and retire, and it appears, that now is the time. You have nothing of value to say. Just because you host a $40,000 a plate fundraiser at your club, means nothing when you are blithely unaware that you are people that Obamas constituents want to raise taxes on if not string up and send to the metaphorical Bastille. Every substandard trash song that you "artists" put out, every video that you are in where you flaunt your wealth, real or rented, every lyric, is part of the problem. It's a "let them eat cake" to everyone, and you don't have the artistic integrity to make the music good while you continue to steal money from the brainless and tasteless so you can wear Louis flip flops on the beach of St. Tropez with the Weave Wife.

You Mean Romney 2012?

While I recognize the huge influence of hip hop,  and pop artists on young, impressionable people. I think it's imperative that people learn to think for themselves, instead of  depending on these artists to educate and to think for them. Because, clearly, critical thinking skills isn't a strong point. Otherwise, my twitter feed wouldn't still have "Boycott Chris Brown" stupidity posts from the still manipulated media.  When we become as a society become less celebrity-driven, thinking what they say or do should be accepted as truth, then regardless of their stance on issues, people won't let it affect them. This is especially true for our youth. They must learn to think for themselves, gather knowledge and read. Celebrities are NOT gods or smart.They are human beings with their own thoughts and ideas and those thoughts and ideas are dictated by their labels and corporate puppet masters.

Jay-Z, the King of Hip Hop? He is a disease of this era of materialistic crap rap, who should be laughed out of the studio with his one percent mantra.

Obama you lie down with dogs you wake up with weaves. 

Artur Davis Named to Romney's Black Leadership Council...(Insert Laughter)

FRAUDULENT

Republican presidential nominee and resident cult member Mitt Romney announced  that former Birmingham congressman Artur Davis would be a member of his new Black Leadership Council. Artur is movin on up, like George and Weezy, at least in his own mind.

Davis, who represented Alabama's 7th District for eight years as a Democrat, recently switched parties and endorsed Romney because he tried to be the Gubernatorial Obama in a red state and took the ignorant negroes for granted. You see, the 7th district is primarily black. All one needs is to have a pulse, pander to the right people and you win. Running for Governor is a different thing and a HARVARD UNDERGRAD AND LAW GRAD should be able to figure that out. A first year poli-sci student would know that. This clown tried to run the primary like it was the general and just assumed that since he was the "Alabama Obama", they would just vote for him and that simply wasn't the case. His arrogance, apathy and sheer incompetence lost him that race not the intractability or partisanship of the Democrats.

The council "will help facilitate dialogue between Mitt Romney and respected leaders who provide unique expertise, experience and knowledge on a range of issues impacting black American communities," according to the campaign announcement. I thought your family owning slaves was  your bridge to understanding us Mittens. Oh wait, you have black friends and they have been in your house, so of course you can facilitate the needs of blacks.

I AM A CROOK WITH A BAD HAIRCUT

"I am proud to have the endorsements of so many leaders in the black community," Romney said in a prepared statement from the campaign. "They know all too well that the economic downturn that has continued to hammer our country has been even more devastating for black Americans. Together, we will work to end that downturn, and we will not rest until all Americans have the jobs they need, the quality education they are owed, and the opportunities they deserve." How about this Mittens, email me, I will send you my address, mail me a check for $50K and save the "advice" from a loser like Artur. Yes, his face is black, his hand is white and he has a giant yellow streak going down his back. Marriage advice from Kim Kardashian has more weight than this so called black advisory counsel. Plus, didn't Mittens just become tolerant to this black man and the equality of the black race at large via his religion in 1978, so this entire scenario is ridiculous.

Please don't insult my intelligence with this joke of an appointment. I would rather have Allen West represent me exclusively, at least he has conviction and I know what side of the fence he's on. Granted it's on the crazy side of the fence with a 1987 fade, but we at least know where he stands. That is something that Artur and Allen West have in common, outdated haircuts... 

I thought that Artur's main complaint was that black people weren't beholden to black leaders in party leadership, so this appointment is a bit confusing and contradictory. But again, he said all those things BEFORE he got beat by Fire Marshall Bill that no one knew. 

ARTUR, CAN YOU HISS? THAT'S WHAT SNAKES DO.

The chairs of the national council are U.S. Reps. Tim Scott of South Carolina and Allen West of Florida, and Florida Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll. Davis is one of 18 other council members. Well there you have it...Mittens might want to consider some sound black leaders for this task because West and Davis, have less credibility than a wisecracking leprechaun.

BLOOD MONEY

 I hope that Artur got paid more than the standard 30 pieces of silver.

The Cognitive Dissonance of Mitt Romney's Faith and Obama's Fake Muslim One

I have a surprising announcement for the world of faith based idiots that still vote their values: 

I Feel Pretty, Witty and Gay

Mitt Romney is NOT a real Christian. Mitt has been the first Presidential nominee I can recall from either of the two big parties who has not used nearly every opportunity to talk about his faith. If one did not know that Mitt Romney is a Mormon, one could be forgiven for wondering if he might be an atheist.

The Romney campaign knows that roughly 18% of Americans polled say they would not vote for a Mormon for president, and their solution has been to have their candidate avoid speaking directly about his Mormon faith. Romney still talks about his faith, but he does so in an unusually vague manner, omitting the part about being a Mormon and attempting to steer the discussion away from it. Not really different from his economic policy, health care policy and his record as Governor.

This strategy of avoidance has been effective, as the same Gallup poll cited above found that 40% of Americans do not know that Mitt Romney is a Mormon. This is good news for the Romney campaign because voters who do not know about Romney's faith are less likely to have questions about what Mormons believe.

In Alabama, the cradle of stupidity, and an irrational fear of Obama runs prevalent, Mormons are not that popular. They are regarded as a cult and don't believe they are real Christians. We have to have dog whistle litmus tests for all politicians in the South and the person that invokes the name of Jesus the most and panders  to the local churches win. 

Now, the uninformed electorate, claim Obama is a Muslim and want to change the country into Saudi Arabia  or Mother Russia, which is false. It makes one wonder, does the public not understand that a Mormon or a Muslim both aren't Christian. The fundamentals of the belief system of Mormonism is diametrically opposed to Judeo Christianity. Why doesn't Barrack HUSSEIN Obama get a pass even if he were a Muslim? Would a Scientologist get a pass even  if they were running against Obama? Romney believes that Jesus is Satan's brother! Hello?! 

An organization that is secretive, controlling, promotes "prophets" to lead a group of brain dead sheep in the desert, you have a cult my friend. “The level of secretiveness surrounding the temples is extraordinary, so much so that members of the Mormon Church who have not been to the temple have virtually no idea as to what they entail… Before Mormons are allowed to enter a temple, they must be interviewed by two separate tiers of ecclesiastical leadership to determine their worthiness to enter these edifices. 

Among the various questions asked of a member, one particular question goes as follows: ‘Do you support, affiliate with, or agree with any group or individual whose teachings or practices are contrary to or oppose those accepted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?’ The very nature of this question, coupled with several others regarding complete obedience to the president of the church (or ‘prophet’), is particularly troubling for the leader of the free world.

If members are found to be in violation of this question (or any other from the list of questions), they will not be allowed to enter the temple. Being blocked from entering the temple is tantamount to being blocked from Heaven, albeit temporarily. (They can always repent.)

“Among the various ‘ordinances’ performed in the temples, none are more divisive than the Law of Consecration. This rite requires members to pledge all their time, money, and abilities to the establishment of the kingdom of heaven on earth (the Mormon kingdom). Couple this with the demand to sustain the president of the church as the only prophet seer and revelator on earth, a particularly troubling form of absolute obedience emerges.” Let's not mention they believe they will be settled on another planet in another galaxy, something that every UFO cult believes. Not really the resurrection or the rapture...

Interesting how elevating a cult member (using the term loosely), with allegiance to the LDS to the highest office in the land is perfectly fine and the "separation of church and state" can be argued as the rationale, if there is in fact one. Yet, when it comes to women's rights, gay marriage, or anything uncomfortable sexually, then we are in " A Christian Nation." Not with a Mormon head of state, we aren't. Deists, Agnostics, Atheists and anyone that has read the Constitution knows and has correctly argued that the US has no National Religion. It's a Christian Nation only during bumper sticker platitudes, while waving American flags, promoting our bastardized Nationalism.

 Pat Robertson, host of CBN's "700 Club,"  and King Snake Oil Salesman, endorsed Romney in April, saying that "He's not running for Chief Rabbi or Chief American Pastor. He's running for Chief Executive, and he's a skilled lawyer, he's a skilled businessman. And that's what we need." Is there anything hypocritical about this? Why is a televangelist even talking about politics in the first place? He should stick to bilking little old ladies out of their social security checks, hoping their prayer request will get answered.

Personally, the religious beliefs are of no consequence to me so long as they possess leadership skills and have the aptitude to govern. The guy/ female can be a Mormon, Atheist, Catholic, Scientologist or Voodoo Priest. His personal beliefs are irrelevant. The only oath that I will take seriously on January 20th, is whether the President will defend the Constitution and I don't care if he swears in on a Quran, a copy of Dianetics or a King James Bible. But the notion that a Mormon is a Christian and there isn't a Christian litmus test is laughable and frankly sad. 

Hynotizing the Sheep with My Smile

Go ahead Southern Christians and others who still play the religion game. You are voting for a guy that believes in a planet called Kolob, a planet nearest to the throne of God, but is nowhere in history or Astronomy charts. You are voting for a guy that believes in a made up Jesus and a made up God, and that by being a Mormon you will become more like God, yet you post and opine about how our society is "Taking God out of our lives more and more." Or, can you all just join a cause when all you have to do is buy a substandard chicken sandwich just because your pastor told you too.

Have you ever noticed that most politicians are lawyers? Wonder why that is? They are skilled manipulators and are taught how to bend facts to suit them. It's all political theatre and gamesmanship, we see an illusion of  a person, not the real person. That's by design. If you met the real candidate, we probably wouldn't vote for him or like him. 

How about we elect people based on the facts and the issues, not on how many times they say Jesus or "my faith." We the people, need results and irrefutable truth not excuses, and phony smiles with Bible in hand. Their is no difference between religious faiths other than dueling incredulous stories about origin, redemption, salvation, the apocalypse and the afterlife. It simply doesn't matter if the person is a liar and can't stand behind his own positions and Romney stands for nothing. He does love his temple issued underwear that protects him from harm, so he can invent a new story and the public can vote Romney because they need to get that Muslim out of the White House. You people are hypocrites and worse irrational idiots from a bygone era blissfully forgotten.

Watch this gross ignorance of Biblical, Historical, and Constitutional History...

WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP!
