Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr.

Yesterday, it was reported Senator Reid compared those who opposed the Democratic legislation in regards to health care, are the same as those who defended slavery, and he said so on the floor of the United States Senate. Republicans and Conservatives alike are demanding an apology, as Democrats are reaching a new low in comparing those who are standing for freedom......to those who enslaved men against their will. Does it surprise me? No. Considering we have been called terrorists, racists, Nazis, un-American, evil, and accused of supporting a health care system, where the plan for Seniors is "die". It is funny, because the health ... Read Full Story

Marin Luther King must be rolling in his grave. The ghost of the man who was wiretapped, infiltrated and hounded by Robert Kennedy's Justice Department , has to be irked that the first born son of his favorite disciple has been a rat for the past ten years.

They’re creative, just not too smart. So yesterday was just another winter day in ... Read Full Story

Jackson, who apparantly has somewhat of a temper, threatened to kick-ass on a Republican Congressman that had told him to "shut up" during a debate on the House Floor. Jackson challenged Rep. Lee Terry to "step outside and settle it". As reported in the Washington Post: "The consensus in Washington is that Jackson would have whupped Terry's butt.

The children of Martin Luther King Jr. have always said “Marty got daddy’s name, Dexter got daddy’s looks.” Jessie Jackson Jr. got both. I myself got two colorful monikers, one Arabic, one Hindu, preceding my English surname, two names as far away from my father's utilitarian "Fred" as you could get. I quickly boiled them down to "Kris" the way "Barack" boiled his name down to "Barry" for the exact same reason he did - to avoid being different from everybody else.
