Elton John is.. well, a twit

http://www.reuters.com/article/peopleNews/idUSN0926923920080411

"NEW YORK (Reuters) - British pop star Elton John, playing a fund-raiser for Hillary Clinton in New York on Wednesday, said he was amazed at the misogyny of some in America and he hoped that wouldn't stop her being president.

At the fund-raiser which Clinton's campaign manager said raised $2.5 million, John said there was no one more qualified to lead the United States into the next era.

"Having said that, I never cease to be amazed at the misogynistic attitude of some people in this country. And I say to hell with them," he said, drawing cheers from the crowd at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan."


First off, the last time America cared what the British thought of America's political process, was 1776.

Second, this is the same tired song of the race-baiters. You can't criticize a black socialist, because that makes you a racist. Now as Elton John shows, you can't criticize a woman without being called a "misogynist".

Let's get something straight, "Sir" Elton: some of us oppose Hillary because she is a socialist, not because she's a woman! How about that! Some of us oppose her because she was involved in scandals, is a carpetbagger, and shows siginificant lack of judgement in her continued support of her cheating husband who lied under oath to a grand jury.

None of that has anything to do with being a woman. So, if you don't mind, the British can go back to minding their own business when it comes to American politics - at least, if you are only going to go around spouting inane nonsense like this.

p.s. If there truly is "no one more qualified to lead America", we're in trouble.

Murder in the US

In 2011, I calculate the overall US murder rate as 4.6 per 100,000 population. But if you recalculate this, and assumed that black men murdered at the same rate as everyone else, the overall rate would drop to 1.9 out of 100,000 population. That would give the United States the 147th highest murder rate in the world - or, the 60th best. The insane disproportionate murder rate among US blacks is why the overall US murder rate seems so high. I don't understand why liberals refuse to talk about this. I don't understand why blacks refuse to talk about this. Blacks are just as often the victim as the offender - almost SIXTY PERCENT of murder victims in the US are black. Shouldn't they care about this? Where are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to talk about this? Yet they are silent. And it's not like this is any secret. This culture of violence, abuse of women, and plain thuggery is paraded around daily in pop music. It's glorified on TV shows like "...

Obama lied to us about a "new era in race relations"

One should not be surprised, that President Obama has been shown to be a liar. This is because Democrats cannot be elected President in this country without lying. Polls and surveys show that the country is consistently conservative, right-of-center, what have you. The majority of Americans do not want government run health care or any other form of liberal nanny-state. Bill Clinton campaigned as a "New Democrat", and was elected overwhelmingly by voters who wanted to punish George Bush Sr for his own lie - raising taxes after promising not to. But the key part is, he campaigned as a centrist. Of course, that was a lie. The moment he got into office, thinking he was secure with a Democrat-controlled Congress, Clinton began pushing a big-government liberal agenda, starting with the nationalization of health care. There was an immediate and violent rejection of this plan, ending in the election of the first Republican-controlled Congress in 50 years. Bbeing the kind of politici...

Death rates: Britain's Health System more dangerous than America's Guns

So, the socialists love British socialized health care and the British ban on guns. So let's see what that means in reality eh? In 2010: UK: 157275 cancer deaths UK cancer death rate: .2489% US: 569490 cancer deaths US cancer death rate: .1844% The US has a dramatically lower death rate from cancer, because the US (somewhat) private health care system does a better job of treating, managing, and curing cancer than does the British system. If the UK had America's superior cancer death rate, that is 40,734 more Britons who would have survived 2010. That's a 0.06% rate of death by socialized medicine. Compare to the roughly 16,000 Americans who were murdered by a firearm - a 0.005% chance. So, the British are 10 times more likely to die of socialized medicine, than an American is of a gunshot. http://www.cancer.org/acs/groups/content/@nho/documents/document/acspc-024113.pdf http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/cancer-info/cancerstats/mortality/uk-cancer-mortal...
