Sir Poopalot is @ it again!

You would have thought that when “filmmaker” Michael Moore made a fool out of himself a few months ago calling “American Sniper” hero Chris Kyle a coward, he had pegged the stupidity meter so mightily that he would never been heard from again saying something completely stupid. By now we are all used to audacious statements from the portly slob: remember the gem about Cuba having better medical care than the U.S.?

Well, in a story this morning in the Detroit Free Press and just in time as our nation gathers to pay tribute to our service men and women, Moore has outdone himself again. In the span of about an hour late last month, Moore filled the Twittersphere with inane comments blasting police and calling for prisons to open their doors and let the criminals, especially African-American prisoners, to be set free immediately.

What follows are Moore’s tweets and my commentary on his stupidity, his cop bashing, his race baiting, and his cowardice.

Moore: Imprison u, shoot u, sever your spine, crush your larynx, send u to war, keep u poor, call u a thug, not let you vote. But u can sing for us.

My take: Obviously speaking on behalf of African-Americans, right? Not let you vote? In the last election, President Obama got 95 percent of the black vote. African-Americans as a group had a higher voting percentage than whites. Oh, forgot, psychopaths like Moore never let the facts get in the way of their BS. And boy, allowing anyone to spew that “thug” is a termed reserved for blacks in this country is just downright tiring. A thug is a thug – white, black, brown or green.

Of course, Moore was just getting started and floored the stupidity pedal.

Moore: Here’s my demand: I want every African-American currently incarcerated for drug “crimes” or non-violent offenses released from prison today!

My take: Do you want a crack dealer or a heroin dealer or an identity thief released today? But hey Mikey, is your “demand” a get-out-of-jail card for black criminals only? Doesn’t that sound kinda, what’s the term, ah, racist? Tubby must have choked on his Big Mac when he re-read his tweet and seconds later scurried to fix his error, yet in doing so put his head further up his abundant ass.

Moore: And the rest who r imprisoned – I don’t believe 50% of them did what they’re accused of. Lies. Greed. A modern day slave system. Poor whites.

My take: Whoa! Where do you start? Where did Moore find the statistic that 50 percent of those incarcerated never did what they are being punished for? Oh yeah, I forgot where his head was residing when he wrote that dandy. But Mike, good catch on including non-black prisoners in your stupid “demand.” Of course, Moore is probably too stupid to realize that his equating incarcerating criminals to slavery demeans how awful the institution of slavery was in this country. Slaves had few, if any rights and absolutely no choice while criminals can decide if they want to do the crime to do the time and have all the rights of this country when charged, even a free public defender.

By this point, Moore’s head was inching ever so close to his ginormous stomach, when he unleashed this beauty:

Moore: Next demand: Disarm the police. We have a ¼ billion 2^nd amendment guns in our homes 4 protection. We’ll survive til the right cops r hired.

My take: Again, where to start. Sure, disarm the police, but do so first in Mikey’s home town and see how that works for him. “We’ll survive” until we get the right cops? Do you think anybody would want to be a cop in Moore’s nirvana of a world? Oh, and I assume the criminals will disarm too, right? Sir Poopalot, if you are having trouble visioning what your demand means, look no further than Baltimore where the cops have, for all practical purposes, voluntarily dis-armed for fear of being charged for upholding the law and this month – the month after Freddy Gray’s “killers” were charged in his death – the murder rate and shootings by its citizens have soared to ALL-TIME highs. Finally, Moore was through. Well, not quite.

Moore: Local cops now militarized. Founding Fathers said NO army policing on our soil. Why do cops have tanks? Oh right – the Enemy: The Black Man.

My take: Some, repeat, some police departments are getting surplus military DEFENSE equipment. If I was a cop in say, Baltimore, I would rather be in an armored vehicle than just holding a plastic shield to defend myself against thugs (oops, there I go) throwing slabs of concrete at me and my fellow officers. And dear Michael, if you don’t like our “police state,” get your fat ass on a plane to your beloved Cuba and enjoy the Castro brothers’ tranquility as they don’t have any armed forces pestering the masses. Not! Well, at least you won’t get a hassle for going there anymore thanks to the actions of our fearless leader. And p.s., do me and all of Spartan Nation a favor, please don’t wear a MSU baseball hat anymore; I almost cry every time I see you squeezing your fat melon into Spartan green.

The Cuban “Situation” from my Outraged Cuban Friend 52 Years “Off the Boat”

The day President Obama decided part of his “Hope and Change” agenda included him single-handedly “normalizing” relations with the brutal Castro regime in Cuba, I reached out to an old friend and business colleague who escaped Cuba for the U.S. as a teenager 52 years ago. When we had talked about his experience I had remembered he had come to this country with just a few bucks in his pocket. We had not talked in years, but we had recently connected on Facebook. My question for him was simple: what do you think about President Obama’s “re-start” (Ha! Sorry Hillary) efforts on U.S.-Cuban relations. I wanted to get the perspective of someone “who was there” instead of blowing a lot of smoke from this Iowa-born kid. Below is my Cuban friend’s response. (Note, to protect my friend, I have edited out some references that make it easier to identify him. Many of my former colleagues will know in seconds who he is.)

 Hi Jason,

 Great to hear from you.  We are in Paris at the moment, spending the holidays with friends.  Back in (Colorado) in late January.

 Your recollection of my arrival in the U.S. at the tender age of 16 was pretty accurate, except for the amount of money I had with me.  It was zero. I mean zero; not even loose change.  If you want the short story version I will send you a copy of an article I wrote for a (Colorado town) newspaper for their Thanksgiving Day issue in 2012 to mark the 50^th anniversary of my arrival.

 People always ask if I came from Cuba by myself, and my standard answer is: “No, it was worse than that; I came with my younger brother!”

 With respect to the recent White House announcement on Cuba, it is hard to know where to start.

I have been convinced for a long time that Obama is the worst, most inept president who ever resided in the White House, but I never expected something so moronic to come out of this administration.

 First, by our government’s actions today, we have announced to the world that if you want something out of us that you cannot get any other way, capture one of our citizens, put him in jail, treat him miserably and then, trade him for whatever you want.

 Second, we are dealing with a country which is on the list of states that support terrorism.  Just a few months ago, they were caught red-handed exporting MiGs and other weaponry to North Korean, hidden in a cargo of sugar cane.

 Third, Obama says that our policy of isolation has failed to accomplish the objective of empowering Cubans to build an open and democratic country.  That was never the objective of the policy.  The trade embargo imposed on Cuba in 1961 by President Kennedy was in protest over the illegal expropriation of American property in Cuba.  The Cuban government has always known what they had to do to get the embargo removed.  Moreover, the policy of engagement announced is what every other country has been using, and they too have been unable to accomplish the “objective.” 

 The reason?  Very simple answer: the Cuban constitution forbids any efforts to “build an open and democratic country.”  You go to jail for that.  You cannot publish a newspaper, you cannot run for office under any political party which is not the PCC (Partido Comunista de Cuba). You cannot stage a protest, you cannot say publicly anything contrary to government policy. 

 Alan Gross, the fellow that was released by the Cubans today, was incarcerated and almost killed for distributing devices to connect to the internet.  And yet, Obama has the gall to say today that Cuba has one of the lowest internet penetration rates (5 percent) in the world.  No kidding!  It is illegal to connect to the internet in Cuba.  Obama expects that “(U.S.) telecommunications providers will be allowed to set up the necessary mechanisms … to provide internet services.”  They already exist, set up by the Europeans.  The problem is that Cubans are not allowed to use them!  They are only for the government and for foreign residents.

 I see this announcement as a problem for the Democrats in 2016.  Hillary Clinton will lose Florida (and possibly New Jersey) while Jeb Bush’s candidacy may gain from it.  Already the Cuban-Americans in Congress have denounced the new policy, including my friend Senator Menendez (D-NJ) who is the Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee.

 In 1961, the embargo was imposed though executive action.  In 1996, it was codified into law after the Cuban air force shot down two unarmed planes which were distributing leaflets over Havana.  The leaflets, by the way, were copies of the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights which, ironically, Cuba signed in 1948 when it was adopted.  Because it is now the law of the land, the so-called Helms-Burton Act cannot be changed by Obama without first getting Congress to modify or repeal it; not very likely in a Republican-dominated Congress.

 Moreover, the Cuban government knows the conditions needed to suspend the application of the law: 1) No Castros in the government, 2) freedom of the press; 3) allow other political parties to exist with free elections.  No amount of “diplomatic relations” or tourist visits will get the Castro-led Cuban government to do any of those three things.

 I could go on but it is getting late.  Let me know if you want to see the story about the day I left Cuba.

 Your friend (I am withholding his name for privacy purposes.)
