The Honeymooners: Ralph Kramden & Rosa Parks

Cast of Characters Would've Denounced Racism

It was 1955 when the American television audience was introduced to a lovable group of characters known as “The Honeymooners”, which starred Jackie Gleason, Art Carney, Audrey Meadows and Joyce Randolph. Gleason, who was in charge of production, portrayed Brooklyn bus driver Ralph Kramden, a hapless spirit in search of his next big break or investment scheme. His best friend, Ed Norton, was a bumbling sewer worker who wasn’t exactly blessed in the brains department. Their wives, Alice and Trixie, may have seemed subtle in their roles, but they frequently kept their husbands in check or got the upper hand in each episode.

This was also the year that the civil rights period was launched. On December 1, a weary seamstress named Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on an Alabama bus. Parks was actually sitting in the “colored” section when the driver ordered her to move. She was well within her rights to remain seated when the monsters called racism and segregation reared their ugly heads and attacked. Parks, like the biblical David, stood up to the beasts and issued the initial blow in the form of defiance. As a result, a force of one became an army of thousands. A Black brigade came forth and boycotted the Alabama bus system, and within a year or so they managed to slay these evil beasts.

I recently caught an episode of The Honeymooners. I laughed hysterically, as usual, but this time I actually stopped and analyzed Ralph Kramden’s character. I thought about the fact that he drove for the Gotham Bus Company and would have no problem getting in someone’s face if they pissed him off. He may have come off as a loose canon in each episode, but he was always levelheaded, kind, and reasonable in the end. Moreover, I don’t think Ralph had a racist bone in his body. Why do I say this? Well, any man that was willing to admit that he grossly misjudged someone and their culture, as he did in the episode with “Carlos”, the Mambo dancer, you have to believe that man was on point when it came to race.

The bus segregation that Rosa Parks fought against was commonplace in southern states. However, if it had been a common practice in New York City, and had Gleason decided to tackle the issue in an episode, I strongly believe Ralph would’ve defended his Rosa Parks-like character. More than likely, Ralph would’ve gone as far as to tell anybody that hassled the character, “Keep it up pal and you are gonna get yours!”

The late, great civil rights activist Rosa Parks

Undoubtedly, the other characters would've stood firmly behind him. Alice and Trixie gave you the impression they were always willing to engage in “girl talk” with anyone, and Alice frequently associated with people in her building. “Mrs. Manicotti.”, an Italian neighbor, is a perfect example. The wives probably would have wasted no time inviting Parks over for dinner upon hearing about the incident. With Ed Norton, you always got the sense that he was cool with everybody; especially if they had a refrigerator that was always fully stocked. He probably would have summed up the situation by saying, “Geez! You did the right thing there, Ralphie Boy! It’s like we say down in the sewer. White or Black, we all smell the same at some point!”

If Gleason had been able to write and produce such an episode, it would've been a monumental television event. I'd like to think that he considered it, but given the state of race relations in the country at that time, and the fact that he couldn’t risk angering the CBS station managers during the show’s first season, he may have been forced to dismiss the idea. I believe Gleason would've written the episode, and I offer the following as proof.

“Keeping Time: The Life, Music and Photographs of Milt Hinton” is an amazing documentary film that chronicles the life of legendary jazz bassist Milt Hinton. Hinton, who died in 2000 at the age of 90, played with Cab Calloway and other legends of the Big Band era. The documentary noted the following: “After the disbanding of the big bands, many Blacks were not able to get work as studio musicians because of the racist belief that they could not read music. Hinton became one of very few Blacks to break the color barrier and secure a job as a studio musician thanks to a chance meeting with longtime friend Jackie Gleason. Gleason insisted that Hinton join his television show orchestra.”

Furthermore, Gleason, who had an intense love for jazz, frequently showcased Black artists, such as Nat King Cole, when he hosted The Jackie Gleason Show. Airing in 1952, the show made Gleason a national star and provided exposure for many Black stars that were shunned by other networks and shows. Based on these revelations, I'm more than confident that if Gleason had written the controversial episode, the legendary, tough-talking Ralph Kramden would've stared down racism while uttering those immortal words...“Bang, Zoom!”

President Barack Obama: A Bulls-Eye in Black

Will President Barack Obama suffer the same fate as JFK? The answer is yes, if hate and militia groups have their way.

"The G-Man" Warned the National Media & Country....Three Years Ago!

I've tracked hate and militia groups for more than seven years. I wrote articles predicting that America was on the verge of becoming a racial powder keg. I wrote those articles nearly three years at Associated Content (http://www.associatedcontent.com) and have racked up a respectable 200,000-plus views since posting my work. I, a Black journalist and writer, even went as far as to obtain exclusive interviews with key figures in the white supremacist movement in order to make the public aware of their growing presence.

I warned the national media and the country that the events currently taking place, involving hate groups and their stunning rise in number, were going to happen. No one took my work or me seriously, but now, three years to the month that I published my very first article on the subject, Newsweek has published an article that has vindicated me. You can read it at http://www.newsweek.com/id/236202.

I emailed those articles to every news organization and outlet in the country, and all they did was tell me I was speculating or laughed at me. I wonder how many media members, Congressional representatives or Americans, many of whom were skeptical of my claims, are laughing now?

If the shit hits the fan this country is going to explode! Wake the hell up, America, before President Barack Obama or the First Lady catch a bullet in the back of the head! I told them all long before there was any coverage of racist "teabaggers" or the Huratee, and here's the proof!

President Obama, Healthcare and the Economy: Views from Across the Atlantic

A view of St. Pauls in London

London Blogger Says U.S. Could Suffer Same Fate as Brits on Healthcare

Well, the southpaw finally signed on the dotted line and the Land of the Free is no longer the Land of the Anxious or Unwell. Someone should scribble the words equality and fraternity on the base of the Statue of Liberty as she looks across New York harbour to the future, which promises health care as a right for all rather than a privilege for the few. Thanks to Obama and the determination of the Democrats, Emma Lazarus’ tired, poor and the huddled masses, yearning to breathe free, along with the American poor, can breathe easy in their beds at night knowing should their child fall sick, they will not be turned away by the medics in the white coats.

The costs are almost beyond comprehension and its hard to work out the noughts once figures reach the billions and trillions. Not one Republican voted for the bill, and the annual health care costs will now be the highest per capita of the developed nations. But could America turn her back on the sick and look the other way? There are ways of raising the cash. Thinking laterally. Has anyone ever worked out the price of the war in Afghanistan in terms of blood and treasure? Both prices are too high and history teaches that no one goes into Afghanistan and comes out the victor. The race to the Moon and Mars. Is that a prize worth having beyond the care of a sick child, an aged parent or a dying mum?

No one could accuse President Obama of lacking courage or conviction. Neither has he chosen the easy path of short-termism, which drives most politics and politicians. Presidents are often hostage to fortune. Abraham Lincoln watched as his country was torn apart by civil war, Roosevelt was faced with the Great Depression of the thirties and the Second World War, but neither of them flinched. Lincoln fought for the Union and the abolition of slavery. Roosevelt dragged the country out of the depression.

President Obama has ensured his place in history with his healthcare reforms. An election pledge made in the heady days when his Inauguration speech and oration skills warmed him to a nation and those far beyond the White House. On that cold January day, he gave hope to many. That was the easy bit. Words cost nothing. He will be wise enough to know that the battle has only just begun. Any five-star general will tell him, it's not the war but what happens after to secure the peace.

The battle of health reforms in the USA has been watched with interest this side of the Atlantic. We are a group of law abiding, tax paying individuals who watch our taxes spent on benefits not just for the needy, but on the greedy and indolent, who see it as their right to be kept by the state. All too often, they live in households with no role model, wage earner or father - each generation passing the baton of benefit dependency to a future generation. Fractured homes raising feral kids with no hope or aspirations beyond the next week’s benefit cheque, the next fag or the next episode of their favourite soap. Betrayed by the policy of politicians who lack the courage to change the status quo. Less Robin Hood, more death by a thousand tax cuts.

We keep our economy afloat. Just. But we have become a two-tier people: the private sector and the public sector. Fairness for all rings hollow as an election pledge when public sector workers have jobs for life and copper bottomed pensions; which unless reformed will be an unserviceable debt for generations to come. The private sector has taken the hits – the redundancies, the lost pensions and the lost dreams. The public sector worker seems oblivious to the change in the landscape and the debris and destruction of the recession, protected by their profligate paymasters in Parliament.

We get screwed by every initiative, which emanates from Whitehall, and have watched our democracy quietly be ceded to the powers of Brussels. We are a people without a voice. A people with too many inept dishonest politicians who fiddle down to the last chocolate bar and feather their nests with their gold-plated pensions. We who were the guardians of free speech have become the most spied nation on the planet with surveillance cameras on every street, and a police DNA database the envy of states of tyranny. Talk of immigration and the heavy hand of censorship is wielded clutching the word xenophobia or racism. We learn to speak one-way in public and quite another amongst ourselves. Free speech has become sacrificed on the altar of human rights, and the state has become complicit in protecting those who abuse the system at the cost of the law-abiding majority. But if we are sick, we can still access the medics in white coats free of charge.

Our National Health Service (NHS) came into force in 1948, driven by the Health Secretary, Aneurin Bevin. It is funded by national insurance contributions from the tax payer and employer. Health care is given free at point of access from the cradle to the grave, but the NHS should not be viewed with rose tinted spectacles by our cousins across the pond. What began all those years ago, born out of inequity, poverty and suffering has become a bloated, bureaucratic, unwieldy beast, gorging itself on ever increasing funds from the cash strapped tax payer. Hospitals fight for funding, consultants are presented with ever increasing workloads and unattainable targets and Quangos multiply overnight whilst politicians seek feel good headlines from the white coats. The NHS now accounts for £100 billion pounds annually and employs 1.3 million people. That is an increase of nearly a quarter of million employees since 1997. Try managing that sort of work force efficiently. It works in cases of dire emergency, though eleven-hour waits in casualty are not unknown and many customers/clients/patients are driven away to the private sector.

The unpalatable truths are that the NHS was never envisaged to cover the demands of science pushing the medical boundaries, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), liposuction and a demographic time bomb of an ageing population. Add the demands of an International Health Service, whereby those who access the system have never made any contribution, and the NHS is not a model from which America should seek to emulate. Altruism comes at a price and the NHS needs radical branch and route surgery. It has become the holy cow. Politicians dare not speak its name or the word ‘cuts’ and expect a cross in the box on ballot day. Too many have vested interests and no one has the courage to criticise and say it. Those who state it's not only the patient who is not well, or that the service is in slow, terminal decline, gets crucified by compliant politicians and a tabloid press.

The President of the United States has other economic worries to keep him awake in the White House: the dirty, five-letter word “banks”, curtailing executive bonuses and regulation of the counting houses. How he squares these issues in a country built on the principles of capitalism is not for the faint-hearted, but address it he must at some stage.

For President Obama, the journey has only just begun and the Statue of Liberty can glance over her shoulder and know that America takes care of its own. Equality. Fraternity. Liberty. But a word of caution. The President and his Democrats would do well to cast an eye across the cold waters of the Atlantic and see where the grand dream of Bevin’s health for all is turning into a nightmare.

Tavis Smiley and the Haters

NPR Radio and PBS television talk show host Tavis Smiley

Media Icon Unfairly Attacked by "Sheep"

Hey, America! I’m going to come right out and say it. There are way too many Black people trying to kick Tavis Smiley in the ass, and The G-Man isn’t having it! Fools continue to attack one of the most celebrated Black media figures in history because he has publicly stated that Americans, especially in the Black community, should not give Barack Obama a free pass simply because he is President of the United States. If anything, President Obama should be held to an even higher standard. I couldn’t agree with Smiley more, and if people want to label me an Obama-hater for saying that, then so be it. I certainly am not.

Smiley came under attack after he dared to question Senator Obama about his economic, political and social agenda for both Americas during the early stages of his presidential campaign. I suspect he was chastised because a significant number of Blacks felt Obama was “untouchable”, which was a bunch of bullshit. Things took a turn for the worst when the presidential candidate was scheduled to attend Smiley’s “State of the Black Union” forum and suddenly declined. Smiley hosted the annual forum several times before issuing the invitation.

Camp Obama cited scheduling conflicts as the reason the senator could not be present. I believe the appearance was postponed because Obama’s advisors told him that attending an event focusing on Black issues would alienate and worry white voters, which he desperately needed heading into the major primary states. Needless to say, Smiley was not happy about Senator Obama’s decision. Smiley questioned the timing and motive, and he pretty much implied that the act was politics as usual. Again, I agree.

Recently, the Reverend Al Sharpton got into a heated exchanged with Smiley after Smiley called out Black leaders on the “Tom Joyner Morning Show”. The PBS talk show host claimed that the leaders were giving the president a free pass when it came to addressing and discussing issues vital to the Black community. Sharpton and others made the point that the president was president of all people and not just Blacks. Smiley then stated that he would host and convene a special forum to discuss the matter in greater detail and that many respected leaders from the Black community would be in attendance. When Sharpton pressed Smiley to name some of those attending, the reverend was not satisfied with the choices. Moreover, Sharpton stated, and I’m paraphrasing, that he had no interest in attending an event hosted by someone that could not be objective.

The battle has caused a major divide in the Black community, but I’m very clear on which side stand. I stand with Tavis Smiley! I stand with Smiley because he was doing what he has done his entire career: holding people accountable. Anyone with half a damn brain knows that, so why do people that have supported Smiley for years now treat him like a piece of shit on the bottom of their shoe? I’ll tell you why. It’s because those people are nothing but a bunch of sheep! The just blindly follow without forethought or question because they worship President Obama and regard him as someone that can do no wrong and should not be questioned under any circumstances.

For many, he is the greatest Black man of our time. That may be true, but so is this little tidbit. President Obama is a politician, first and foremost, and at the end of the day politicians cannot be trusted. Period! To the disappointment of millions, he’s already broken a number of his campaign pledges. With the country in a state of economic, political and social turmoil - thanks to corruption, incompetent and inept political leaders and corporate sluts – you’d think the sheep would get it. Unfortunately, some people just get stuck on stupid.

I truly believe this is why Tavis Smiley has pressed President Obama on the issues. You’ve got to hold people accountable, and Smiley has built a phenomenal legacy doing exactly that, especially in Black America. He’s done this while other so-called Black leaders brokered compensation deals with corporations to look the other way on major racial issues. He’s done this while other so-called Black leaders waited for the next racial crisis before jumping onto the national stage. Yeah, I said it! If the shoe fits, give yourself a good whack in the ass with it!

You’ve got to hold people accountable! We haven’t done that over the last 30 years, and now America is going to suffer like hell for it. What amazes me is that people are stupid enough to pledge allegiance to one man, one human being, one politician, and believe that he is capable of saving us from centuries of political corruption or the sins of previous administrations. The only person worthy of humanity’s trust and loyalty is God Almighty! The sheep better stop pissing on “Tavis the Messenger”, wake their goonie-goo-goo asses up, and realize that every one of them can and will be lead to slaughter if they treat any politician as Lord and Savior.

This commentary is from the heart and.........From The G-Man.

You Deserve to Die!

Legendary columnist and journalist Walter Winchell

A Special Message to the Mainstream Media

To all ass-kissing anchors, media whores and newsroom sellouts:

How are ratings and the bottom line these days? Oh, I’m so sorry! How thoughtless of me. With newspapers and broadcast news agencies cutting back or shutting down all over the country, you folks can’t be doing too well. So sad, especially for the true journalists and production teams out there that fought hard to protect the industry and maintain its sense of integrity. I feel a deep sense of sorrow for these people and their families, but I have nothing but contempt for the weasel executives and managers responsible for the demise of an industry built solely from the wisdom of Winchell and the character of Cronkite.

Ten years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting the legendary Av Westin, former Senior Vice President of ABC News. He was also a producer for the ABC Evening News, 20/20 and numerous news-related programs. While an employee of the ABC and CBS network, he racked up six Emmys and four Peabody awards, among others. Simply put, Westin was and still is considered the man, and I dedicate this commentary to him.

Former ABC News Senior Vice President, Av Westin

The media icon has authored a number of books, but the one I found most fascinating was entitled “Best Practices for Television Journalists (The Freedom Forum). In a bold, brilliant, unapologetic and uncensored fashion, Westin explained how racism was commonplace in newsrooms and how the news industry has become a business that places great emphasis on the commercialization of news and reporting sensational news stories instead of real ones. He also offered solutions on how aspiring reporters and broadcast journalists can maintain their sense of integrity and fairness in an industry run amok. Westin caught the attention of the nation, but he also caught hell.

With news divisions and publications folding all over the country and the world, Westin has been vindicated. Every claim he put forth has proved to be true, and people in America and abroad are quickly abandoning traditional news formats, lining their bird cages and pet boxes with newspapers, and searching for mediums that offer honest, real and unbiased news reporting instead of entertainment. You know what, mainstream media? You deserve to die!

“Citizen” and “digital” journalists and independent, online news organizations will replace the biased, corporate-owned and tainted news outlets sooner than anyone expects, and everyone, from station owners and managers to news directors, knows it. That’s why ABC News has begun shutting down a number of their national bureaus and handed a significant number of journalists and production crew members their walking papers. It won’t be long before other stations follow suit. News organizations are scared to death because they realize the public is fed up with bogus news stories, half-assed news reporting and the non-objective opinions of network anchors and/or hosts. Yes, you deserve to die!

"The Most Trusted Man in America" is sorely missed.

You media vampires have no one to blame but yourselves for the downfall. The stake of justice and truth is being driven right through your blackened, money-pumping and putrid hearts. You traded your conscious, honor and integrity for the almighty dollar, sensationalism and high ratings. You’ve spent the last 35 years or so bowing to corporate Draculas instead of serving the public interest and greater good. You’ve failed to tell the stories that people needed and wanted to hear and showed a blatant disregard and disrespect for certain demographics. You failed to serve the will of the people, and now the people are getting ready to serve you…bigtime! You deserve to die, and The G-Man will be standing side-by-side with Winchell and Cronkite disciples, armed with his blog and talk show, ready to put you out of your goddamn misery.

This commentary is from the heart and…From The G-Man.

'My Country is Falling Apart, U.S. Could Be Next!'

A Joker-faced Jan Peter Balkenende, Prime Minister of the Netherlands

Dutch Journalist Explains Collapse and Warns America

A World Exclusive

Three days ago, an article on Bloomberg’s “Business Week” website reported that the Dutch government had fallen. Having developed a working relationship with a Dutch resident named Maarten van Dop, who holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Television Journalism, I decided to look into the matter more closely. In doing so, I discovered a number of striking similarities between the Netherlands and the U.S. regarding political party divisions and the rising tide of dissent among voters. Ultimately, I asked Maarten to provide an assessment, as a journalist and resident, of what really happened to cause the government’s demise. Not only did he graciously consent, he also pointed out that the United States of America appears to be headed in the same direction and urges all Americans to pay close attention to the events taking place in his country.

The following was authored by Maarten van Dop

“We were never in Iraq!”

The Dutch government supported the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. They accomplished the latter mainly by mouth (‘politically’), and the first by a significant material and personal contribution. About a month ago, a report was presented on Dutch involvement in the invasion of Iraq. The report was supposedly independent, but officially commissioned by the government last year. A very unwilling government was forced to concede and allow an investigation to take place, thanks to pressure of an altered political constellation. The conclusions of the report did not mince matters or words: the Iraq war was illegal for lack of an international mandate. It went on to say that information was manipulated to serve political goals and parliament was not properly informed. Normally, this would be sufficient to make any prime minister secede his reign, especially when it’s still the same person. But the extraordinary circumstances induced by the economic recession gave this coalition excuse to remain seated, much to the dismay of the opposition.

“We’ll be getting the hell out of Afghanistan!”

The next topic for debate for this coalition was Afghanistan. The United Nations has requested the Netherlands to prolong Dutch presence in the southern province of Uruzgan. President Obama and Vice-President Biden have been appealing to reconsider a decision already made: this year, 2010, Holland withdraws its people from Afghanistan. The two major fractions in government stand opposite one another regarding this request. And now it seems the party opposing prolongation, has pulled the plug. It seems that way because, in actuality, a compromise had already been found, which was leave Uruzgan, but stay in Afghanistan; no more fighting missions, only reconstruction and facilitation for the Afghans. Ironically, this time around it was the economic recession that urged this coalition to bail out. A report from the National Bureau for Statistics showed a projection for the economy that made participating parties realize there was nothing left to be gained up until the next official elections in 2011.

Contradictions & Compromises

Holland is a land of contradictions. Amsterdam is our capital, but our seat of government is The Hague. The Queen is our Head of State, but she is not our leader. Think that’s weird? Ask about our policies on drugs. Or rather: don’t. It all stems from a system of compromise, which we proudly refer to as ‘Poldermodel’ - wherein everything is open to discussion and can be thusly solved. Every contestant is rewarded their share of the stake, but nobody gets the whole deal. Those who wheel more than they deal, end up on top. The Netherlands has a multi-party political system. The current coalition, which became an interim group last week, consists of three different parties. Until the 1990’s, governing coalitions used to consist of two parties that held a workable majority of representatives in parliament. A coalition would either be center-right (Christian Democrats & Liberals) or center-left (Christian Democrats & Socialists). All other parties were relegated to the opposition. However, the Dutch political landscape is becoming increasingly splintered, and the next coalition might even have more than three partners. The more people get to have a say, the less efficient decision-making will be. It’s the conundrum of democracy. Simultaneously, the people crave ‘strong leadership’ as the political spectrum becomes increasingly dispersed. Democracy depends as much on the competence of the eligible as on the competence of the electorate.

Dutch Tea (Party)

Disapproval for the “Poldermodel’ gave way to the rise of Pim Fortuyn, who was considered by many to be an outsider. Fortuyn entered the political arena in 2002, and the world watched in amazement as he single-handedly went from virtual unknown to heading in the polls in the upcoming election. He was shot dead a week before the election took place. His party, LPF, went on to become the second largest political party in the Netherlands. Unfortunately, the party was in complete disarray and the coalition collapsed after a mere 80 days of governance. Ever since Fortuyn’s murder, hosts of wannabe ‘strong leaders’ have graced the Dutch political scene. This time, the Party for Freedom (PVV), led by Geert Wilders, is heading the polls. The PVV is the equivalent of the rapidly expanding Tea Party in the Americas. If he wins big enough, and is not killed, he might well draw up to the ruling coalition. Sarah Palin would probably refer to him as a rogue politician. Thriving on nationalism and xenophobia, his main issue is to oppose the perceived ‘Islamizing’ of the Netherlands. Watch well, American Tea Party patriots. What you’re looking for is someone similar to this enigmatic leader. You’re looking for someone who will ‘unite the nation’, and we’ve got loads of those on sale.

A MAJOR Ass-Kicking Could Be Coming!

Members of the al Qaeda terrorist group

Terrorists Will Capitalize on Political Discord, If We're Not Careful

Hey, America! Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse, another superstar senator bolts his political party because he feels “Congress isn’t working.” Duh! I guess Evan Bayh didn’t get the memo until now, folks. I'd like to say something to Senator Bayh and every elected official that jumped ship or is planning to do so. You guys give whole new meaning to the term “bail-outs”, and you’re all cowards in The G-Man’s book.

Each of you made the decision to leave office when your country and constituents needed you most. You sons-of-bitches gave the President of the United States the authority to send more soldiers to die in Iraq and Afghanistan, but now many of you are choosing to “cut and run” instead of rolling up your sleeves, hammering out solutions and doing the right thing for this country and its inhabitants. Every politician that bounced on President Obama simply because of political discord is a disgrace to this country and the oath they took.

They're all a bunch of traitors who deserve a traitor's fate, especially when you consider the fact that American soldiers have been and continue to be placed in harm’s way. Thousands have died taking their last breath on foreign soil in the so-called war on terror. Unlike Senator Bayh and other members of “the bail-out boys”, these soldiers fought to the bitter end for honor and for country. Elected officials will never, ever be able to come up with an excuse good enough for bailing on America. Any politician thinking about going “Bayh-Bayh” needs to soldier up, sit their gavel-swinging ass down, break out the Louisville Slugger, which I call “an attitude adjuster”, and start doing what voters put them there to do.

The fact of the matter is the United States of America is teetering on the brink of economic, social and political collapse. Tensions are rising across the nation. Voters, after being raped by incompetent political representatives, have given birth to a political bastard called the Tea Party. Anger, anxiety, distrust, fear and uncertainty about the future have superceded “And to the Republic, for which it stands.” President Obama’s approval rating continues to plummet, and Madame Secretary Clinton has sounded very “hawkish” on Iran in recent weeks. Things certainly don’t appear to be getting any better, and I truly believe it all will culminate with something disastrous.

With the country in such turmoil, terrorists could see this as a perfect opportunity to launch an attack that would make the World Trade Center catastrophe pale in comparison. The situation in Washington, D.C. is very similar to a classic horror movie – the one where people are arguing about the best way to destroy the monster lurking outside. They’re all shouting and refuse to listen to one another when the monster suddenly bursts through the door and kills them. They didn’t pay attention to what was going on outside, and the monster took full advantage.

President Obama, his administration, the Congress and the Senate are the people arguing in the house. I guarantee you the terrorists are watching all of this, and it’s only a matter of time before they take advantage of the disorder, gridlock and incompetence and assume the role of monster. In the end, everyday Americans will become the sacrificial lambs in order to unify the country and end all the bickering, bitch slapping and finger pointing between the silver-haired fools on the hill. September 11^th has already proved that.

Toxic Tea (Party) Ingredient!

Cover of sheet music for "We Are All Loyal Klansmen".
The song was released in 1923, but history is currently repeating itself. The KKK and other hate groups have successfully infiltrated The Tea Party movement under the guise of patriotism.

Palin, Brown & GOP Risking Political Suicide

Hey, America! I’m more confident than ever that news directors and producers at many of the mainstream media outlets have been reading my blog. They’ll never admit it because independent journalists and/or commentators aren’t taken very seriously by these organizations, even though the quality of our work equals or surpasses that of anchors, new writers and reporters at CNN, MSNBC, FOX News and others. What makes me so sure that they have one eye on the newswire and the other on The G-Man? Well, I’ve used certain descriptive terms in recent commentaries that are now being used in news broadcasts and feature segments. Let me give you an example.

I came up with the term “Jim Jones media” to illustrate how major news organizations in America have literally become cult-like because of their ability to develop a loyal following and distort or manipulate facts, truth and reality. Jim Jones was the charismatic “religious” leader of “The People’s Temple”, which was based in Guyana in the mid-to-late 70’s. Jones eventually murdered 900 of his worshipers by convincing them to ingest a cyanide-laced, orange-flavored drink called “Flavor Aid”. I was the very first writer in the country to warn the general public of the consequences of drinking the “media Kool-Aid” that news agencies were so found of serving up on a daily basis. Now, it seems like everyone is using the Kool-Aid term in media venues. Coincidence? I think not!

I’ve been watching this Tea Party movement ever since it surfaced last year. I find the coverage to be extremely interesting because the mainstream media is now serving up the poison in tea form. Fox News head Roger Ailes and other corporate news titans have provided around-the-clock coverage of the group’s momentum, and “tea-baggers”, as reported in publications from the Washington Post to the New York Times, are being credited with blocking many of President Obama’s and the Democratic Party’s initiatives, like the healthcare bill and proposed tax increases. However, what is also being reported, via the Anti-Defamation League, Huffington Post and Los Angeles Times, is that militia and hate groups have successfully infiltrated the predominately conservative movement.

Recent news reports indicate that Sarah “Buy My Damn Book” Palin, the poster child for the Republican Party, is a major Tea Party supporter, as are other prominent members of the Grand Old Party (GOP). I have a question for Palin, media sensation Scott Brown and every Conservative in America that recently jumped into bed with the so-called tea-baggers. Have you all lost your fucking minds? I truly believe that you have. Either that, or you just don’t give a shit about whom you associate with. In the end, it all comes down to securing those mid-term and long-term votes, huh? If that’s you position, then you’re a bunch of whores! The same goes for any dumbass Democrat looking for votes and singing the Tea Party’s praises. I’m an equal opportunity ass-kicker.

Anyone choosing to associate with a movement that embraces or includes racists, segregationists, white supremacists, Neo-Nazis, or those who pose a great threat to the safety and security of this nation and its people, is a goddamn fool! Apparently, Palin, Brown and a significant number of GOP reps had a mug or two of the media’s “tea”. That is the only logical explanation I could think of as to why they’d place themselves in a position to commit political suicide. I thought the goal of the Republican Party was to integrate their base, not segregate it. Having prominent Conservatives like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity tout the Tea Party movement as “good for the country”, when they know for a fact that hate groups are deeply entrenched, is dangerous, despicable and disturbing! Palin, Brown and their Republican co-horts better spit out the tea, and they’d better do it fast!

I want to close by speaking directly to every punk-ass “hater” that has infiltrated what might otherwise be a nice, law-abiding group of Americans that simply want their concerns addressed. You can get mad at me for making these statements. You can call me an asshole or even refer to me as an “uppity nigger” that needs to be taught a lesson. You can send me email threatening to hurt or kill me. I’m issuing a challenge to every one of you sorry bastards right here on the Internet. You go right ahead. I dare you! Seriously! You don’t scare me! I’ll just pee on your little swastika pamphlets or KKK-labeled flag, sit back and flip you the bird with great conviction. So, take your little asses back to your makeshift, paint ball training camps, drink your moonshine, and wait for federal agents to come and arrest you as “domestic terrorists”. I, as well as a majority of people in this country, don’t have time for your bullshit.

Folks, I don’t claim to be the Black Superman. I’m just a man with balls enough to call these people out for what they are and fight for what’s right. They’re nothing more than a bunch of goddamn cowards that are simply taking advantage of the country’s dire economic situation and the terrified people who want their jobs saved and voices heard. Surely, there are good, loving and righteous people incorporated in the Tea Party. We all know this. They have every right to express their anger, disgust and distrust of President Obama’s policies and the Democratic Party as a whole.

Having said that, I’m urging those good, God-fearing people and every Republican/Conservative politician, Palin and Brown in particular, to stand up and make it abundantly clear that the haters are not welcomed and will be dealt with in a just and swift fashion. If the GOP wants to regain the White House and public trust, this is a damn good place to start. The nation stands a far better chance of surviving the devastating economic crisis and uncertainty facing us all if we come together as one, as opposed to standing around with hate in our hearts and angrily calling someone a nigger, spic, kike or cracker.

'From The G-Man' Internet Show Debuts

In this no-holds-barred exclusive, Brucker reveals the "dark side" of comedy, her bout with alcohol and the constant fighting that takes place between many top female comedians.

April Brucker: The Superfox of Stand-Up

This is the moment all of my G-Fans have been waiting for. The premiere of my new Internet show, "From The G-Man", is here! It is an extension of my popular news and media blog. I would appreciate it if you all could put some time aside to check it out, share your thoughts, and forward it to as many people as possible to help me get exposure for it.

The G-Man's very first special guest is the multi-talented and controversial stand-up comedian April Brucker. The interview will certainly make many people, in and outside the world of comedy and entertainment, sit up and take notice. Brucker pulls no punches when discussing her previous bout with alcohol and prescription drugs, in-fighting between female comedians, the "dark side" of comedy, the Conan O'Brien/Jay Leno/NBC debacle, “safe comedians” Bill Cosby and Jerry Seinfeld, and the late, great shock comedy legends Bill Hicks and Sam Kinison.

This is one powerful episode you won't want to miss. Keep in mind that it was my very first show, so I was a little nervous and unsure of myself. I'm certain I'll get better with each show. This never would've been possible without the love and support of my growing fan base. I experienced a great deal of pain and angst in 2009, but I'm getting ready to write the biggest comeback story of 2010! Trust me on that. (Smiles)

Here’s the link to the show: http://vimeo.com/8899172

Enjoy, folks!!!

How the 'Democraps' Killed Camelot

The late, great "Lion of the Senate", Senator Ted Kennedy

Party In-Fighting & Brown Victory Destroyed Kennedy Legacy

Hey, America? Do you hear that? Listen carefully. If The G-Man isn’t mistaken, that sound you hear is the late Senator Ted Kennedy crying in his grave! The man known and loved as “The Lion of the Senate” has very good reason to cry. The voters of Massachusetts, the very state Kennedy and his legendary family have become synonymous with, have loudly rejected the agenda and policies of President Barack Obama and his party by electing Scott Brown, a rising star in the “Republicon” fold who will likely share the ticket with Sarah Palin in the 2012 presidential election.

The “Democraps” have no one to blame but themselves for this monumental defeat, and they ought to be deeply, deeply ashamed and embarrassed! They practically handed Kennedy’s senate seat to Brown after President Barack Obama and party members reneged on numerous campaign pledges and attempted to ram the health care bill down the throats of those who vehemently opposed it. The fact that constant political in-fighting was taking place only made matters worse. The final straw came when stalwart politicians, such as Senator Chris Dodd, decided to bail on the administration one after the other. In my opinion, Dodd’s decision to haul ass was a clear indication to many Massachusetts voters that the Obama administration was in serious trouble and that Democraps were not unified in any sense of the word.

I’m finally beginning to understand why the symbol for Democraps is a jackass. They are the stupidest group of people on the face of the earth! I mean, really! How else could you explain screwing up a colossal opportunity that was handed to them by voters in 2008? The election of President Barack Obama was unprecedented on a number of levels. The election unified the country. Well, if you don’t include those fools in the Ku Klux Klan and Aryan Nation. The country, as well as many of our allies, had renewed hope after Bush, Cheney and the hawks were exorcised from the White House. Having the First Family on the covers of Ebony, Essence and Jet magazine confirmed that black is beautiful. It even got to the point where dogs and cats put their differences aside to compete on “Dancing with the Stars”. Folks, it was a beautiful and monumental period in time.

Now, thanks to sheer stupidity, indecisiveness, numerous political missteps and inept leadership on the part of Democraps across the board, the moral conviction and legacy of one of American’s greatest liberal politicians has been completely vanquished. Many lifelong Kennedy supporters are feeling the pain now, but no one is feeling it more than the President of the United States. The G-Man is guaranteeing it. He can downplay the Brown victory all he wants by stating, “We can’t win them all”, but I’m certain President Obama said and felt something entirely different behind closed doors as the First Lady consoled him on the night of the election.

As many of you know, Senator Ted Kennedy was of Irish decent. There is a very interesting correlation between my declaration - Kennedy is crying in his grave - and the legendary banshee. In Irish folklore, a banshee is described as follows: a spirit in the form of a wailing woman who appears to or is heard by members of a family as a sign that one of them is about to die. Well, with Republicons snatching key victories in Virginia, New Jersey and now Massachusetts, the late senator may also be wailing because the upcoming mid-term elections could mark the death of the political family he has loved and symbolized for over 40 years.

The commentary is from the heart.....and.....From The G-Man.
