Monthly Archives: April 2012. April 30, 2012. T]he study shows that out of those stopped only 0.15 per cent resulted in firearms charges. This number stands to directly contradict Commissioner Kelly’s statements that the stops are responsible for the fall in gun crime. Also of note is the fact that out of all ethnicities stopped, white people had the highest chance of having committed a crime, despite being proportionally the least searched. Hat tip: Andrew Sullivan. Who support draconian #hb2. National ...

https://therednotes.wordpress.com/2012/03/19/ip-rednecks-and-welfare-queens
March 19, 2012. IP: Rednecks and “Welfare Queens”. I wanted to quickly discuss Alexandra Pelosi and her picking-on poor folks. A comment that I posted on Ta-Nehisi Coates’ blog. This sneering at Mississippi is about the same as when liberals sneer at other mainly rural folks. It’s not just the South and Pelosi’s video is just a reiteration of the same old bullshit coming out of the liberal ivory tower. I agree, in a sense, with the criticism of the “voting against their interest” argument, bu...8221; He ...

Here I Go Again | The Red Notes
https://therednotes.wordpress.com/2013/08/26/208
August 26, 2013. Here I Go Again. After more than a year later, it’s back! Hopefully, this will be kept up regular like , but today might seem to be a little underwhelming. For this post, I want to highlight a couple of organizations that may breath new life into the left. The first one is an American organization called the Campaign for a United Socialist Party (CUSP). Now what do these 120 million people mean by socialism? Even better, by getting ourselves into one place, we who have more defined ideas...

KONY 2012 and Issues of Western Interventionism. March 8, 2012. A slick and captivating documentary. Has been spreading wildly on Facebook within the last week. This video, KONY 2012, centers on war criminal and mass murderer Joseph Kony, who is the leader of the Lord’s Resistance Army in Uganda, and there is no doubt that this is a very bad guy. However, there’s something off and misplaced in the newly-found outrage among Facebookers. March 7, 2012. March 7, 2012. 8221; And the two young fish swim on fo...

So, You’ve Facebooked the Joseph Kony Video. Now What? | The Red Notes
https://therednotes.wordpress.com/2012/03/09/so-youve-facebooked-the-joseph-kony-video-now-what
March 9, 2012. So, You’ve Facebooked the Joseph Kony Video. Now What? Often, when I’ve criticized international relief efforts to friends and family, I’m asked Well, what would you do? It’s a valid question and it’s been asked of me so frequently that I now try to include some possible solutions after I’ve leveled a criticism. I should also note that these solutions sometimes aren’t really solutions, nor are they always good or better ideas than the one I’m being critical of. This presentation lays out a...

So, You’ve Facebooked the Joseph Kony Video. Now What? March 9, 2012. Often, when I’ve criticized international relief efforts to friends and family, I’m asked Well, what would you do? A lot of rebuttals to the KONY2012 criticism that I’ve seen have an air of What would you do, then? They are a public-policy think-tank that has taken a different tact...

Critical Race Theory (CRT) | The Red Notes
https://therednotes.wordpress.com/2012/05/01/critical-race-theory-crt
May 1, 2012. Critical Race Theory (CRT). Around the time of Andrew Breitbart’s death. He was looking to engage in (what turned out to be his final) an act of race baiting. Before his death, he hinted at some kind of huge bombshell. It seemed like he was setting this up to rival even the ACORN “revelations.” After his death, it was released and it was a dud. Barack Obama was speaking in support of his Harvard law professor, Derrick Bell. CLS – Second: the law is made to protect the interest of the w...

Andrew Breitbart’s Life as Lesson | The Red Notes
https://therednotes.wordpress.com/2012/03/02/andrew-breitbarts-life-as-lesson
March 2, 2012. Andrew Breitbart’s Life as Lesson. Photo by Gage Skidmore). For simplicity’s sake, it was tempting for me to disregard Andrew Breitbart as just a bully. (Though, as we’re coming to recognize, even schoolyard bullies have long lasting negative impacts on their victims.) But the fact of the matter is his mean-spirited and brash style of activism lead to the undeserved downfall of real people. Andrew Sullivan, in a remembrance of Breitbart. That fleshes out this point. I said normal circumsta...

March 8, 2012. KONY 2012 and Issues of Western Interventionism, Ctd. A Long Post is probably not forthcoming today. I have side-work that I need to concentrate on. However, I wanted to drop this for today: a more complete and in-depth analysis of the military/intervention “solution” that is proposed in the KONY 2012 video. It was written up by the Department of War Studies at King’s College in London. Invisible Children’s Military Disconnect. 8212; money quote:. Next post →. Who support draconian #hb2.
