I'm honestly not sure what to say

I would love to put something witty and amusing in responce to finding and reading this article. But its just the sheer stupidity of this guy speeks for itself. This realy shows what the republican/conservative phelosophy is behind the scenes if this is what these people realy believe and feel a need to share with others. If you click on the picture it will take you to the original story and you can read information on the previous emails he sent out.


Welker blasted again for e-mail

By April M. Washington, Rocky Mountain News
July 20, 2006

State Rep. Jim Welker is once again drawing criticism for forwarding an e-mail in which black conservatives and religious leaders blame "black culture" for problems surrounding Hurricane Katrina.

The Loveland Republican forwarded an article to constituents titled "Black Culture is responsible for Hurricane Katrina woes."

The article from CNSNews .com is about an upcoming conference in Washington, D.C., sponsored by ministers and political conservatives.

It quotes them as saying black New Orleans residents rely too much on government, and, in the words of the Rev. Grant Storm, who is white, "When the government doesn't come and help them, frankly all they do is yap and complain."

Welker didn't write the article, but legislative leaders warned him in March to stop forwarding e-mails they said foster racism. Three months ago, Welker apologized on the House floor for forwarding a racially charged essay from a conservative black commentator who called Hurricane Katrina victims "welfare pampered" and "immoral."

On Wednesday, Welker made no apology for passing on the e-mail, saying it simply reflects conservative values, which encourage hurricane victims to pull themselves up by their own boot straps. He dismissed allegations he is a racist.

"I have black people who work for me," said Welker. "Some of my good friends are different colors."

Lawmakers expressed outrage and dismay at the recent e-mail, some accusing Welker of hiding racist attitudes behind black conservatives' controversial writings.

"These kinds of comments are heartless and hurtful," said House Speaker Andrew Romanoff.

Sen. Peter Groff, D-Denver, echoed those sentiments. "Only Jim Welker and God knows if he's a racist or not. But just because somebody says they're not racist, doesn't mean you're not a racist," he said.

House Minority Leader Mike May, R-Parker, said the GOP caucus neither shares nor condones Welker's views.

"It's not what my party is about," said May.

Racist extremists active in U.S. military
July 7, 2006 -- Under pressure to meet wartime manpower goals, the U.S. military has relaxed standards designed to weed out racist extremists. Large numbers of potentially violent neo-Nazis, skinheads and other white supremacists are now learning the art of warfare in the armed forces.

Department of Defense investigators estimate thousands of soldiers in the Army alone are involved in extremist or gang activity. "We've got Aryan Nations graffiti in Baghdad," said one investigator. "That's a problem."

Southern Poverty Law Center President Richard Cohen urged Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to adopt a zero-tolerance policy regarding racist extremism among members of the U.S. military.

"Because hate group membership and extremist activity are antithetical to the values and mission of our armed forces, we urge you to adopt a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to white supremacy in the military and to take all necessary steps to ensure that the policy is rigorously enforced," Cohen wrote in a letter to Rumsfeld.

Military extremists present an elevated threat both to their fellow soldiers and the general public. Today's white supremacists become tomorrow's domestic terrorists.

"Neo-Nazi groups and other extremists are joining the military in large numbers so they can get the best training in the world on weapons, combat tactics and explosives," said Mark Potok, director of the SPLC's Intelligence Project.

"We should consider this a major security threat, because these people are motivated by an ideology that calls for race war and revolution. Any one of them could turn out to be the next Timothy McVeigh."
