I just came across CiUMEaPc:UiacyKUnciaec8O7EyUr">this story -- and am both shocked and disgusted by it.

A justice of the peace said he refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple last week because of concern for the children who might be born of that relationship.

Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace for Tangipahoa ParishÂ’s 8th Ward, also said it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not last long.

“I’m not a racist,” Bardwell said. “I do ceremonies for black couples right here in my house. My main concern is for the children.”

Beth Humphrey, 30, said she and her boyfriend, Terence McKay, 32, both of Hammond, intend to consult the U.S. Justice Department about filing a discrimination complaint.

They've got my full support on this one. Indeed, I hope that Louisiana's governor can take some temporary action in the mean time to remove this racist piece of filth from any position of authority until a more permanent solution can be implemented.

Ad yes, this guy ran as a Republican -- but he clearly has no concept about what the GOP has been about since its founding over 150 years ago. I disown him, and so has every Republican I've seen comment.

From our "friends" at the NAACP.

You see, they are worried that the "wrong sort" might get appointed as mayor of Baltimore after the incumbent gets convicted of her felonious behavior.

"Our concern is who would the governor appoint?" (Marvin L. Cheatham, the president of the Baltimore Chapter of the NAACP) said. "Here you have a predominantly African-American city. What if the governor appointed somebody white? ... Would he appoint someone Irish to be the mayor?"

Whatever would Dr. King say? After all, this certainly takes the notion of judging based upon the content of one's character rather than the color of one's skin and blows it all to Hell and back!

Could you imagine the national – no, the international – uproar if the students of a prestigious university raised objections to the selection of a black student as the winner of a beauty pageant and school homecoming queen? There would be marches and rallies and sit-ins and federal investigations of the school, and serious efforts made to address the obvious racial problems at the school. It would be fodder for talk shows for weeks – and Barack Obama would no doubt make a public statement about how the students of the school were behaving stupidly.

Will we get the same sort of uproar over this incident?

Hampton University crowned its first non-black Miss HU Friday, leading to a division on campus that prompted her to write President Barack Obama.

Nikole Churchill, 22, competed against nine black students in the 15th annual Miss HU scholarship pageant. The senior nursing major attends the Virginia Beach campus and is the competition's first non-black winner, according to executive pageant director Shelia J. Maye.

Churchill, who is from Hawaii, wrote Obama on Sunday to tell him that her crowning was met with negative comments because of her skin color. She invited him to visit HU and speak about racial tolerance.

"I am hoping that perhaps you would be able to make an appearance to my campus, Hampton University, so that my fellow Hamptonians can stop focusing so much on the color of my skin and doubting my abilities to represent," she wrote, "but rather be proud of the changes our nation is making toward accepting diversity."

So come on, Barry, show us some of those Nobel Peace Prize winner skills and infuse a little bit of harmony and brotherhood at this historically black university. Unless, of course, racism isnÂ’t a problem when it is espoused by African-American scholars rather than uneducated whites.

I guess that Barry Hussein has been too busy being an athletic supporter for Mayor Daley and the Chicago 2016 committee to take notice of this issue.

Fortunately there is a president with the time and moral clarity to speak out on the issue of jihadi recruiting on American soil.

The president of Somalia on Sunday denounced the recruiting of young men from MinnesotaÂ’s huge Somali community for terrorist activity in his war-ravaged homeland, and said he plans to work with the U.S. government to bring those still alive back home.

President Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed spoke with The Associated Press while visiting the Minneapolis area, where authorities believe as many as 20 young Somali men—possibly recruited by a vision of jihad to fight—returned to the impoverished nation over the last two years.

At least three have died in Somalia, including one who authorities believe was the first American suicide bomber. Three others have pleaded guilty in the U.S. to terror-related charges.

Maybe he'll have something to say when one of these home-grown jihadis returns to this country and commits a terrorist act on American soil.

Or maybe not.
