The Goat Pen

The U.S. stock market will initially go down, but rebound by the end of the week. Europe I'm not sure what's going to happen.

Now might be a good time to book some great travel deals to Greece.

A big week for the prez, with the trade deal and the 2 SCOTUS decisions.

Time to get in some extra rounds.

Liberalism is on a roll. I feel like I'm back in the '60's.

Yeah, laws to end discrimination based on sex, race, color, or national origin. Equal employment opportunity and school integration/desegregation enforcement. Voter rights - ending poll taxes and literacy tests. Medicare and Medicaid. Fair Housing Act and HUD. Clean Air and Water Act.

Crazy liberal shit.

CITIZENS SIGN PETITION TO BAN AMERICAN FLAG...

Feds take confederate flags, t-shirts from National Battlefield...

Nascar hints may take flags from fans...

Memphis mayor wants to dig up confederate grave...

University of Texas students sign petition to remove George Washington statue...

The crazy liberal shit (next edition) will be within days when a gay couple walks into a Baptist or Catholic Church and demand to be married there. And when they are refused, the forces tolerance, pluralism and diversity will rain the mighty wrath of whatever god that liberals believe in on that church like a pizza parlor that doesn't cater gay weddings.

GOOD OLE SOUTHERN HERITAGE:

Six predominately black Southern churches burn within a week; arson suspected in at least three

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morn ... ast-three/

In the week after nine people were shot dead at Emanuel AME Church in South Carolina, six churches with predominately black congregations in five Southern states have burned. Three of the fires are being investigated as arson.

SUPREMES STRIKE AGAIN: STATES CAN'T FORCE VOTERS TO PROVE CITIZENSHIP

http://www3.atr.rollcall.com/supreme-co ... ates/?dcz=

I wonder what percentage of black churches were set on fire and what percentage of white Southerners set the fires.

If three of the six churches that burned are being investigated for arson, that means three of them aren't, which means they burned because of racist faulty wiring resulting from a conspiracy of racist electricians. But six is a bigger headline.

Meanwhile, nobody ever talks about the real holocaust of black lives going on in America. In Chicago alone...

That's just one week in one American city. Multiply that by 52 weeks times Detroit, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and the carnage of black people in American cities is unfathomable. But you hardly ever hear a peep about this from the civil rights leaders. If you really believe that black lives matter, and they absolutely do, then this is the place to start.

"Multiply that by 52 weeks times Detroit, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and the carnage of black people in American cities is unfathomable."

Unfathomable?

Is "incomprehensible" better?

Depends on your capacity to comprehend or fathom...

It means the other 3 are being investigated, but they're not yet ready to assign a cause.

White on White Crime: An Unspoken Tragedy

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kerry-cod ... 71878.html

The ugly truth is white on white crime does exist. It is a growing pandemic in the white community, and if we don't call attention to this problem soon, there will be no more white people left to run the world.

Most of the conversation surrounding crime involves black people, who selfishly take all of the credit for being criminals. Blacks are notorious for being called thugs and gangsters, but the real MVPs (Most Violent People) are whites. Everyday in cities across the country, people die at the hands of white people. What's more, they're killing their own kind. According to the US Department of Justice statistics, 84 percent of white people killed every year are killed by other whites. In 2011, there were more cases of whites killing whites than there were of blacks killing blacks. Between 1980 to 2008, a majority (53.3 percent) of gang-related murders were committed by white people, with a majority of the homicide victims being white as well.

In America, whites commit the majority of crimes. What's even more troubling is that they are also responsible for a vast majority of violent crimes. In 2013, whites led all other groups in aggravated assault, larceny-theft, arson, weapons-carrying, and vandalism. When it comes to sexual assault, whites take the forcible rape cake. They are also more likely to kill children, the elderly, family members, their significant others, and even themselves! They commit more sex-related crimes, gang related crimes, and are more likely to kill at their places of employment. In 2013, an estimated 10,076 people died in the U.S. due to drunk driving crashes. Driving while drunk is almost exclusively a white crime because everyone knows black people prefer to drink on their porches or inside their homes.

So why is white on white crime so prevalent, one may ask? Is it the music they listen to? Is it the white divorce rate, resulting in more white children coming from broken homes? Perhaps it's the TV shows they watch or the violent sports they play. More than likely, it is a combination of all of those things, with the exact root cause unclear. What is clear, though, is that not enough people are talking about the crime plaguing the white community. We need to spread the word, holding protests and demonstrations that call attention to this growing matter. Because, after all---white lives matter, too.

Same-sex marriage didn't begin last week did it? Seems like it's been the law in several states for a few years...wonder why your scenario hasn't played out already.

The SCOTUS decision dealt with civil marriage and left the religious ceremonies and trappings out of it. The courthouse vestibule open to straights for knot-tying has to be made available to same-sexers. Churches can still deny marriage service to whomever they choose (our's does - gotta be a member, preferably a tithes-paying one).

Will there be a hue and cry later on? Probably. If enough pressure is put on churches (especially wrt tax-emption..ahem), they may eventually make allowances. "Unconventional Marriage Services" 8:00am on Tuesdays..in the stairwell beside the storeroom.

Is Christie's wife the ugly chick in the yellow dress? I know she makes a ton of money but I didn't think his ego would allow that. She's a dog - even for a 50-year old married for almost 30 years.

"84 percent of white people killed every year are killed by other whites. In 2011, there were more cases of whites killing whites than there were of blacks killing blacks."

Wow, you talk about a misleading statistic. The white population is significantly larger than the black population so, of course, there should be more whites killing whites than blacks killing blacks. The article also did not mention that 93 percent of black people killed were killed by other blacks. When you factor in the overall population of each and the percentages, you find that a black person will be 6 times more likely killed by another black person than a white person will be killed by another white person.

Are you in favor of this? And do you think it's constitutional?
