NAACP Head Ben Jealous: American Revolution 'Wasn't Good for Nobody'

Tuesday, July 13, 2010 | Kristinn

[kristinn]

In remarks ignored by the national media, Ben Jealous, president and CEO of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), attacked the American Revolution as "not good for nobody" in a speech last night at the NAACP's 101st annual convention being held in Kanasas City.

Jealous also criticized the Tea Party movement and Sarah Palin in his speech.

Jealous' comments were not reported by the national media, but they were reported (in text and by video) by KMBC-TV in Kansas City.

"Expel the bigots and racists in your ranks or take full responsibility for for all of their actions."

"...We will no longer allow you to hide like cowards behind signs that say 'Lynch Our President' or anyone else."

"Sarah Palin says, 'Let's party like it's 1776.' My white daddy would say be careful what you wish for because the 18th century, Sarah, wasn't good for nobody, even folks like you."

The NAACP is scheduled to vote today on a resolution accusing the Tea Party of being led by "hardcore white supremacists".

Rush Limbaugh played a clip of Jealous saying that Tea Party protesters carried signs saying "lynch Barack Hussein Obama and lynch Eric Holder."

How many whites lead the NAACP?

Apparently, he's "Ben Jealous" all his life. (rimshot) Okay: cheap joke.

The serious part is that statements like his have been piling up in recent days form the Left, as their true agenda increasingly comes out of the closet and into the streets. Progressives believe that America is fatally flawed, was illegitimately founded, and what's more: they detest our Constitution. They wish to remake the country in an image more accommodating of their collectivist ideology and secular faith.

"lynch Barack Hussein Obama and lynch Eric Holder."

And I'm just SURE, the patriotic Americans they are, they decried eight years of signs saying "Kill Bush"

[CORedneck]

Liberals would have supported the British if it was 1776 all over again.

[1776 Reborn]

NAACP = National Association As-sine Cr*p Peddlers.

[Jack Wilson]

Be careful: he used a double negative:

‘wasn’t good for nobody’

= ‘was good for somebody’

[mo]

It was the “self-evident” concepts codified in the Declaration of Independence that led to the death of an institution thousands of years old in the Western World.

Within a hundred years..the Civil War settled the issue of slavery once and for all ...and without the American Revolution, would not have happened.

Stupid fool.

"The NAACP is scheduled to vote today on a resolution accusing the Tea Party of being led by "hardcore white supremacists"."

Here's some of 'em:

Ben Lyin was already taken aling with Ben Dover.

American Revolution ‘Wasn’t Good for Nobody’

Africans suffered more, worse and longer than any other humans on the face of the earth from the evils of colonialism. (They still suffer the after affects in some places)

Americans threw off British colonial authority nearly unaided, at tremendous human/material expense and against nearly insurmountable odds… AND they did it for themselves and for all who ever live here.

Our revolution ‘wasn’t good for nobody’… how????

What a MORON!!!

The Communist Takeover Of America - 45 Declared Goals
From Greg Swank, 12-4-2

You are about to read a list of 45 goals that found their way down the halls of our great Capitol back in 1963. As you read this, 39 years later, you should be shocked by the events that have played themselves out. I first ran across this list 3 years ago but was unable to attain a copy and it has bothered me ever since. Recently, Jeff Rense posted it on his site and I would like to thank him for doing so. http://www.rense.com

Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963

Current Communist Goals EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Thursday, January 10, 1963 .

Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.

At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following "Current Communist Goals," which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:

[From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen]

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.


Note by Webmaster: The Congressional Record back this far has not be digitized and posted on the Internet.

It will probably be available at your nearest library that is a federal repository. Call them and ask them. Your college library is probably a repository. This is an excellent source of government records. Another source are your Congress Critters. They should be more than happy to help you in this matter. You will find the Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto interesting at this point.

Webmaster Forest Glen Durland found the document in the library.

So.
How many of their goals AREN'T achieved yet?

[Fred Hayek]

Booker T Washington saw this coming. Hucksters looking to keep re-opening old wounds, keeping the grievances, a doctor not wanting the patient to be cured. He saw the race hustlers and the poverty pimps on the horizon, even if they were decades after his passing.

[Maverick68]

Where’s the signs that say:
HEY MSMEDIA,
IF YOU’RE
LOOKING FOR
RACISM, GO
TO CHURCH
WITH OBAMA!

[Senator_Blutarski]

Barack Obama, his wife Michelle and Eric Holder have succeeded in emboldening a segment of the black population to "speak their minds". As a result, their ignorance and hateful black racism is in full display.

This will be an interesting dynamic to watch as the elections approach. While it may help spur minority turnout, it is hard to see how this helps the Democrats overall.

They are working their troops up to jihad, slowly but surely. I don’t know what they expect to gain but I reckon we’ll find out.

[Constitutions Grandchild]

Ah, Julian Bond. That explains SO much to those of us who are old enough to remember what a handsome, young communist he was back in the day. MLK never saw it coming or refused to admit it, but the handsome Mr. Bond brought a great deal of woe to the icon of my youth. That’s Bond, J. Bond.

[andy58-in-nh]

Thanks for the links. I see Ben thinks that “Van Jones is an American treasure”. There is an obvious retort to that comment, but I would not wish to be accused of being a racist.
