Democrat President Commemorates the End of Slavery in America?

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Here's Obama right now up on Capitol Hill, this is 150th anniversary of the 13th Amendment. What did the 13th Amendment do? Pop quiz, anybody know? (interruption) Right. So why is Obama celebrating it? The 13th Amendment abolished slavery. It ended slavery. Why is he up there honoring it? You know that he doesn't think that we've gotten rid of slavery. The Black Lives Matter crowd doesn't think we've gotten rid of it. The civil rights coalition still acts like we have slavery in this country. This is blatant hypocrisy what he's doing up here. I'm dead serious about this.

Every day of the year Obama and the Democrat Party act like we've made no progress whatsoever on racial relations, that we're getting worse, in fact, right? And then here he is honoring the 150th anniversary of the13th Amendment? Which of those two seems the more unrealistic? How can you honor the establishment of the 13th Amendment which abolished slavery and then do what Obama does the other 364 days of the year, and the Democrat Party? You're looking at me like you can't believe what I'm saying. Well, I'm just telling you, take a look at Ferguson, Baltimore, you name it.

Whenever there is any kind of crime in this country, if African-Americans are involved, by virtue of the news coverage and the civil rights coalitions who get into gear, Black Lives Matter, it doesn't appear to me that there are too many people who think we've solved the problem. It doesn't appear to me that too many people in the civil rights community think we've made any progress, do you? Isn't that the whole point of the civil rights business? Isn't that the whole point of the civil rights industry is to make sure that the problems never get solved, to abolish the idea we've made any progress? I find this hypocritical. I really do.

I predicted to everybody when this Regime began that race relations in this country would get worse. I predicted that the divide in this country would get worse because there was nothing unifying about Obama or his agenda or any of that. Anyway, I didn't even intend to talk about this. I didn't even know it was gonna happen. I'm just up here, he's happening to do this when the program starts which, I'm sorry, is also no coincidence. So I thought I was duty-bound to comment on it.

Well, this will be news to a lot of Blacks.

Finally. It’s over...

And oh yes, for those who cared, the Civil War ended last Thursday.

No, slavery is still ongoing. Almost 50% of Americans today are slaves to the government handouts. What would you expect from corrupt, greedy and incompetent politicians who think they are ‘gods’?.

Black Americans have been taught by self-serving leftists that because there was once slavery in parts of the U.S., there is no such thing as liberty.

The truth is, Progressive Leftists are opposed to individual liberty as defined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The only real complaint they have about chattel slavery in America two hundred years ago is that the slaves were privately owned.

But they get orgasmic over the idea of slavery to the state.

Democrats never pass up on opportunity to tell us why enslavement by the state is for our own protection and our own safety, because life under the anarchy that conservatives want to impose is just too risky and dangerous. We can't have any of that inhumane "on-your-own economics" that conservatives advocate.

Thereby proving that you no longer have to be black to be an Uncle Tom.

If you don't count Lincoln.

Did Obama express any guilt feelings over being the descendant of slaveowners (through his mother)? If not, no other whites should feel guilty over slavery, and particularly not those who had no ancestors who held slaves.

This is a guy who couldn’t find the time to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg.

What a tool...

My history is a little rusty, but wasn’t it a Republican-controlled Congress that brought about the establishment of the 13th Amendment?

obuma has no longer the rights or actions of a representative of the United States of America...

He is A Muslim, practicing, Brotherhood member, he does not like Christianity, nor anything to do with Christmas or Easter...

After this past Sunday night when he was pulled kicking and screaming and having the words pried out of his mouth, his position in America is null and void...

He knows nothing about the 13th amendment:

Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution

The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. In Congress, it was passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, and by the House on January 31, 1865. The amendment was ratified by the required number of states on December 6, 1865. On December 18, 1865, Secretary of State William H. Seward proclaimed its adoption. It was the first of the three Reconstruction Amendments adopted following the American Civil War.

He said his ‘parents’ were there, when they weren't as he lied AGAIN...

His words, actions on anything concerning the leading of or enforcing of anything to do with the United States ended Sunday, December 6, 2015...

If you work for someone else without compensation, you’re a slave.

Tell me again about that tax code...

The speech used terminology like -— “the country’s Original Sin (slavery) which comes from the Sojourner’s magazine owner/editor Pastor Jim Willis’ book that uses the term in the title: “America’s Original Sin: Racism, White Privilege, and the Bridge to a New America”

Wallis being obamaumao’s “spiritual advisor”, who was in the SDS as a radical then got a divinity degree from some evangelical “institute”. The guy is an absolute looney and a consummate liar.

Soros Open Society, funded Sojourners and has given to this dude’s queer church, hundreds of thousands.

So, obamaumao castigates the US, even though we fought a war, killing over 700K mostly white Americans and newly arrived European immigrant, and crafted an Amendment to abolish slavery. Just not enough- will never be enough-— gotta be reparations for the professional victims who cannot after multiple generations get off the plantation— because of people like obamaumao... yeah, that’s the ticket.

This a@@hole is beyond anything we can imagine. And so, don’t imagine. Think of him as a mulatto Stalin— that is what we have, and quite possibly- just as insane as Stalin clearly was.

Obama’s mother’s ancestors were slaveholders in the US. I don’t know when they came from Ireland or if all of them did, but at least some were in the US before the Civil War.
