Dr. Michael Welner is not the only psychiatrist that found Andrea Yates to be sane when she murdered her 5 children. Remember Park Dietz? He also felt she was sane and his mistake about mentioning an episode of the TV show “Law & Order” resulted in Andrea Yates being taken off a life in prison sentence.

Park Dietz was a consultant for the show and made an honest error, that he did all he could to correct. Which is why Andrea Yates’ defense attorney’s request for a mistrial was denied back in 2005. But her defense was able to swindle the court of appeals and now we have a situation where a convicted murder has had their sentence overturned to “not guilty by reason of insanity”, because the defense was able to manipulate the courts.

I’ve mentioned the group Choose Black America in this past post, where I was focusing my attention on some nonsense said by former President Jimmy Carter. What I did not note and I’m glad La Shawn raised the issue, is that the group should not be using a racially exclusive name.

It is hypocritical to create an organization that is trying to fight the racial exclusion of Blacks, while having a name that is racially exclusive. Similar applies to the group formed to stop racial exclusion of Blacks in the Black hair care industry. That group is mentioned in a documentary I noted in this other prior post.

On another note, I saw a T-shirt yesterday that I’ve seen before years ago, but I never thought of how racist it is until more recently. The T-Shirt said:

The Blacker the college the sweeter the knowledge

Having attended a college that was once for “Blacks only”, I was fully desensitized to the racism embodied in such a statement when I was younger. Now that I’m older and saw that shirt again for the first time in many years, I realized if it said “The Whiter the college the sweeter the knowledge”, we would see mobs of Blacks having a White T-Shirt burning! It’s time to stop such racist statements and it’s time to stop using bigoted titles. I’m not saying that there is no such thing as Black culture. There are some things that are culturally Black and deserve the title. There are styles of music, food and other things that are distinctively Black by culture. But that does not mean the title “Black” should be used to promote “Black” as being a superior education or “Black” as a superior worker. That goes beyond the simpler facets of culture into preference of certain of humans over others on the basis of skin tone. Lets try to be Americans and embrace being part of a nation of laws that should be respected.

update 7/28/2006 12:10PM: LBC herself has chimed in to say:

Thanks for the trackback, D. but I didn?t say race-based titles are wrong per se. I just don?t like them, and I think they?re unnecessarily and unintentionally exclusive and divisive.

OK, then I feel they are wrong when used in the manner I mentioned . I don’t make much room in my own little world for gray areas .

People have been shocked by the actions of the nutcases of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka Kansas. And various legislative bodies have appropriately passed laws to try and stop them from spewing their garbage in the presence of grieving families, attending the funerals of fallen soldiers. The ACLU has found that this “church” of insanity is something they wanted to help out in court, to try and do away with some of the new laws.

Let’s face it, the nuts of the Westboro Baptist Church have the media’s attention and there is always some Liberal group willing to ride a media wave. So in comes the ACLU, to ride the wave most would never dare touch. Which shows they are by far the most despicable legal group in America.

Sean Hannity hosted a debate between Shirley Phelps-Roper’s ACLU attorney Anthony “Tony” Rothert and ACLJ attorney Jay Sekulow.
(The ACLJ is a group that often kicks the ACLU’s butt in court and stands for the rights of real churches, not cults.

The Phelps do not represent primitive Baptist churches at all, although they claim to follow those teachings. It is horrible that the Phelps even try to associate themselves with primitive Baptists. I love primitive Baptists and was even in worship at a primitive Baptist church this past Sunday.)

The ACLU attorney (Tony Rothert) said he disagrees with the Phelps’ actions, but does not find their acts to be “despicable”, when asked directly.

Hannity was really trying to figure out how anyone in their right mind would defend the Phelps clowns. And it resulted in this telling exchange.

Hannity: On a human level, why do you want to be a part of a case that brings suffering to military families?

ACLU Attorney Tony Rothert: I think the best way we can honor brave soldiers, especially the ones who’ve died is to honor the first amendment and not cheapen it.

The ACLU is so twisted, that they attempt to claim that defending the most disrespectful of nuts, that spew hatred at dead soldiers and their families is somehow a way to show those soldiers “honor”. Which proves you can’t be in your right mind and work for the ACLU.
(And for the record I think Republican and sometimes ACLU attorney Bob Barr is an idiot. I never liked him!)

At one point Rothert attempted to bring up an instance where the ACLU supposedly defended Sean Hannity, but Hannity quickly squashed that by mentioning how the ACLU stabbed him in the back.

Jay Sekulow focused on the fact people outside with bullhorns might be heard inside the funeral service and therefore cause a disruption.

This was a very interesting debate.

Dhimmitude being paid at a Catholic University. Just when you thought you’d seen it all! I’m not sure why the word “suspended” is being used, when he’s lost his position and benefits. It sounds like a form of firing under different a different term.

Professor Thomas Klocek stood up to some Israel hating Muslims outside of the class time at DePaul University. The Catholic professor’s reward from the Catholic university for his actions was a “suspension”. At the request of the anti-Israel groups, that had CAIR backing them up.

Of course if he trashed America or Israel he’d still have his job.

Hat tip Michael Savage.

We all know female child molesters often get lighter sentences than male child molesters. A common reason given by people who speak in defense of female molesters, is that female molesters don’t “continually prey on children”. As if female molesters go after one young boy for some sort of romantic relationship and never prey on other young boys. This is not true. The sick mentality that causes some men to abuse children also resides in some women. Which is why the gender of the molester should not matter. Put them all under the jail.

Here in Tennessee, a female teacher that was previously reprimanded and investigated has now been arrested for soliciting a young boy for sex.

If found guilty I recommend my usual life in prison with hard labor sentence.

It’s about time young boys molested by women receive equal protection under the law.
