via Illegal President

In my nightmare I found myself nude in bed. I was looking at a
mirror on the ceiling and discovered that I am a Negro and I'm
circumcised! Quickly I sat up, found my pants and looked in the
pockets to find my driver's license photo and it was that same
color, black.

I felt myself being very depressed, downcast, sitting in a chair.

But it's a wheelchair!

That means, of course, besides being black and Jewish, I'm also
disabled! I said to myself, aloud, 'This is impossible! It's
impossible that I should be black and Jewish and disabled!'

'It's the pure and holy truth', whispers someone from behind me.

I turn around, and it's my boyfriend.

Just what I needed! I am a homosexual and on top of that, with a
Mexican boyfriend.

Oh, my God ... Black, Jewish, disabled, gay with a Mexican
boyfriend, drug addict and HIV-positive!

Desperate, I begin to shout, cry, pull my hair, and oh, nooooo
. I'm bald!

The telephone rings; it's my brother. He is saying, 'Since mom
and dad died, the only thing you do is hang out, take drugs, and
laze around all day doing nothing. Get a job, you worthless
piece of crap ... any job!'

Mom?. Dad? .Nooooo ... Now I'm also an unemployed orphan!

I try to explain to my brother how hard it is to find a job when
you are black, Jewish, disabled, gay with a Mexican boyfriend,
are a drug addict, HIV positive, bald and an orphan, but he
doesn't get it.

Frustrated, I hang up. It's then I realize I only have one hand!
With tears in my eyes, I go to the window to look out. I see I
live in a shanty-town full of cardboard and tin houses! There
is trash everywhere..

Suddenly I feel a sharp pain near my pacemaker ... Pacemaker?
Besides being black, Jewish, disabled, a fairy with a Mexican
boyfriend, a drug addict, HIV positive, bald, orphaned,
unemployed, an invalid with one hand, and having a bad heart, I
live in a crappy neighborhood.

At that very moment my boyfriend approaches and says to me,
'Sweetie pie, my love, my little black heartthrob, have you
decided what you are going to wear to Washington to see Obama?

Say it isn't so! I CAN handle being a black, disabled, one
armed, drug- addicted, Jewish homosexual on a pacemaker, who is
HIV positive, bald, orphaned, unemployed, living in a slum with
a Mexican boyfriend, but please, Oh dear God, please don't tell
me I'm a Democrat!

Re: [The_Fair_Forum] Re: MSNBC ASKS DEBATE QUESTIONS ABOUT SUGAR LEAVES OUT PIPELINE

Who benefits from Obama nixing the pipeline: 1) China gets the oil, 2) Soros owned Brazilian PetroBras sells us more oil, 3) Warren Buffett's railroad delivers us Canadian oil instead of the pipeline.

The left wing media silences the audience and as far as I know was silent itself. I was in and out during the debate and I had better things to do than watching these idiots the 51st time. I just heard Brian Williams asked these four fools about sugar price control but incredibly didn't ask one question about the proposed Keystone Pipeline or Obama cancelling it. That's just breath taking in its unbelievablity.

Not one of four excuses for Republican candidates used any of the questions or posed on the attacks on eachother to talk about the Pipeline, something that's fundamental to the security of the nation, yet they had lots of time to condemn eachother for a prescription medicine plan that's been in effect for 7 years.

This is just a disgrace. Just watch what Obama does in his second term. This is place is going to look like the Social Workers Paradise of China. I understand that if Hillary leaves the Cabinet our next Secretary of State is going to Louis Farakhann because of his extensive ties to the Islamic Community.

**JP** Village that stood up to corruption a sign of hope for others

AS CHINA gears up for a leadership transition later this year, a small fishing village that stood up to official corruption and rural land grabs has become a touchstone for other communities striving to fight back against grassroots abuses.

Since the uprising in December in Wukan, a coastal village of 15,000 in southern Guangdong province, which challenged and won key concessions from provincial officials, other rural communities have taken note.

About 1,000 residents of Wanggang, a gritty suburb of leather factories and shabby tenement blocks, recently massed outside the gates of the provincial capital Guangzhou, holding a rare large-scale protest against a major city government.

For some people, Wukan has become a new rallying cry for their own battle against public corruption.

"If China doesn't change and help … vulnerable residents in villages, every village might develop into a Wukan," said Mr Li, 33, a protester who took part in the rally against Wanggang's Communist Party village chief, Li Zhihang. He is accused of plundering land, committing widespread fraud and using a gang of thugs from the country's north to intimidate locals.

Guangdong province – China's most populated and a major manufacturing hub – has seen its share of unrest, including riots in Zengcheng over oppressive behaviour against migrant workers. The province's prominent party boss, Wang Yang, must avoid serious policy mistakes which would damage his prospects for promotion in a leadership transition late this year.

By invoking the name of Wukan, Wanggang villagers believe they won a swifter response from edgy officials.

Mr Li said: "They are forcing us to take this road."

After the villagers threatened to turn Wanggang into a "second Wukan", a Guangzhou vice-mayor, Xie Xiaodan, met them and promised an inquiry into alleged abuses.

But despite their bravado, Wanggang is no Wukan.

Wukan's residents were in open revolt, expelling officials and police and barricading themselves in for ten days until provincial government intervention brought an end to the siege.

Wangang appears less united, its residents split among numerous clans. Most are city dwellers holding urban jobs, less desperate to reclaim farmland for subsistence than those in Wukan.

For Wukan, Mr Wang chose conciliation instead of force, sending a key deputy to intervene and offer concessions on seized land. In a remarkable twist, the rebel village leader, Lin Zuluan, 65, was later named party secretary of Wukan.

Despite the softer approach, some experts say Wukan will not change China's iron-fisted approach to dissent.

Willy Lam, an academic and veteran China watcher in Hong Kong, said: "The fact that Wang Yang decided to use more conciliatory methods regarding Wukan doesn't mean a change of policy on the part of Beijing, nor does it mean that leaders in other provinces will follow.

"The leaders of other provinces cannot afford to allow the Wukan case to become a sort of a model because this will damage the authority of the party."

The legacy of Wukan still echoes in other villages. A man in Luogang village complained about officials bragging about new cars, as he dug taro roots and spring onions in a field.

"We want to be like Wukan, all the villagers here do," said the elderly man, squelching barefoot through the mud. "It's very encouraging, we hope everywhere can fight back and beat the corrupt officials."
