When I hear or see feral miscreants like Shamir Shabazz, Dr. Kamau Kambon, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, Barack Obama, Sheila Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters, Cynthia McKinney, Hank Johnson, Monica Conyers, Kwame Kilpatrick, Marion Berry, Ray Nagin, and other like-minded buffoons chattering, several thoughts come to mind...

First, I lament the fact that President Lincoln's Liberia Project was approved but insufficiently funded by Congress, thus it was not completed as agreed upon. If only I could go back in time and speak before that Congress with the news of today!

Then, I think...

1. The U.S. government should immediately divert funding from social welfare programs to the criminal justice system.

2. The U.S. government should immediately build many more prisons and execution centers and staff them for high-tempo operations.

3. The U.S. government should revisit and refine the old eugenics programs and implement a new one that would benefit society as a whole.

I think financial compensation would constitute a very effective incentive to guide desirable sterilization and procreation patterns.

It is obvious and unfortunate that many Blacks and Hispanics struggle with the pitfalls of unwanted and unplanned pregnancies and births. I think that both communities would be open to receiving equitable financial compensation in exchange for their voluntary participation in a state-sponsored sterilization program.

Likewise, many White couples would like to have children, but the U.S. laws, taxes, and its state-sponsored cultural decline are decidedly hostile toward White families. If those obstacles were removed by the state, and additional financial incentives were offered, Whites may volunteer to procreate in greater numbers.

With the proper balance between building more prisons and execution centers, and implementing a society-friendly eugenics programs, society would gradually improve over time.

Atheists, agnostics know more about religion than believers, finds US survey

A new survey, which measured Americans' knowledge of religion, has found that atheists and agnostics knew more than followers of most major faiths.ccording to the survey by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, a majority of Protestants could not identify Martin Luther as the driving force behind the Protestant Reformation.

It also revealed that four in 10 Catholics misunderstood the meaning of their church's central ritual, incorrectly saying that the bread and wine used in Holy Communion are intended to merely symbolize the body and blood of Christ, not actually become them.

It said that atheists and agnostics - those who believe there is no God or who are not sure - were more likely to answer the survey's questions correctly.

Jews and Mormons ranked just below them in the survey's measurement of religious knowledge.

Talking about survey, Alan Cooperman, associate director for research, said that American atheists and agnostics tend to be people who grew up in a religious tradition and consciously gave it up, often after a great deal of reflection and study.

"These are people who thought a lot about religion. They're not indifferent. They care about it," The Los Angeles Times quoted Cooperman, as saying.

The survey further found that eight in 10 people knew that Mother Teresa was Catholic, while seven in 10 knew that Moses led the exodus from Egypt and that Jesus was born in Bethlehem. (ANI)
