Barack Obama gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Dolores Huerta, an honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America. During the ceremony today President Obama admitted he stole her slogan “Yes we can!” for his 2008 campaign. (Video at link)

...Dolores Huerta, an 82-year-old labor activist and co-founder of the United Farm Workers union.
Huerta is also an honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America.
DSA describes itself as “the largest socialist organization in the United States, and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International.”
Huerta has claimed, “Republicans hate Latinos,” and has spoken fondly of Hugo Chavez’s despotic regime in Venezuela.
The Medal of Freedom is awarded to individuals who have made “especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.

And on a personal note, Dolores was very gracious when I told her I had stolen her slogan, “Si, se puede.” Yes, we can. (Laughter.) Knowing her, I’m pleased that she let me off easy — (laughter) — because Dolores does not play. (Laughter.)

Barry’s Flippin’ Freak Show. What a joke.

Let us be "optimists" and "moderates" and tolerate this extreme and evil mongering. We peasant are disposable trash after all, much not different than the Chinese, Politicaly Correctly speaking. (sarc off)
Ah, of course, nothing like a gay person to say they are hated by heterosexual so as to impose their agenda and control on other gays who would perhaps reconsider. It's not like the gay flag is not tyrannical and wants to prevent heterosexuals from having their peace... nah, sure....

What is the point of Obama killing Bin Laden when such genocider is coming to the Whitehouse, trying to concoct a world abortion genocide system and continued economic abuse. She has the guts to be like Che Gevara, to come out of the closet and kill before the killing is mainstreamized.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I’m waiting for the bath salts and to see them turn into face eaters.
Okay,- - - let me get this straight - - - .
Incumbent Marxist Dictator Obama gave The Medal Of Freedom to someone who is a BIGOT?
Who is also guilty of the Federal Crime of Racial Profiling?
You may doubt that Obama did this but how else can one describe someone who said “ - - - “Republicans hate Latinos,” - - - ?
BTW, Maybe the message Obama is sending is that if you hate people in America then Obama will give you a medal too?
WOW! Obama has given us the freedom to hate!
WOW! Soon we will be just like Europe with pockets of hate springing up everywhere!
The more you hate me,
The more I hate you.
Bring on the Drones,
Bring lots of Drones - - - .
In April 2006, Huerta was invited to speak at Tucson High Magnet School in Arizona, ostensibly “to inspire students” who were preparing for crucial examinations. During her speech, she exhorted the youngsters to march in protest of federal lawmakers’ efforts to put an end to illegal immigration, and twice stated that “Republicans hate Latinos.” At the same event, Huerta said:
“The average pay of a CEO of a Fortune 500 company is three million to nine million dollars a year. What are you going to do with all that money, right? I don’t care how much money you make. You can only eat three meals a day, you know. You can only wear one suit of clothes a day, you know. So the idea, a lot isn’t wrong so long as you use it for the people like what Hugo Chavez is doing in Venezuela.”
Responding to critics of illegal immigration, Huerta says: “We didn’t cross the [U.S.-Mexico] border; the border crossed us.” Huerta has told illegal-alien farmoworkers, “You deserve to get paid every dollar you earn and have safe housing and transportation.” Moreover, she has advised illegals who feel they have been underpaid, to call the U.S. Department of Labor. “The call is free and confidential,” she assured.

While the fledging CSO was working to organize laborers and lobby for welfare payments to migrants, the Filipino grape-pickers of the San Joaquin Valley went on strike. Huerta and Chavez joined with what eventually became known as the five-year Delano Grape Strike. As Huerta negotiated with the wine-growers, she picked up the nickname “Dragon Lady.”
Huerta has acknowledged that when she was a young woman, her busy activist career caused her to be an absentee mother who ignored her parental responsibilities while she pursued Marxist causes.
Driven by a belief that true democracy can only be achieved through a redistribution of wealth, Huerta has been imprisoned more than twenty times as a result of her participation in various protests. In a 2002 interview, she stated, “I think organized labor is a necessary part of democracy. Organized labor is the only way to have fair distribution of wealth; it helps create a middle class. Without a middle class, there would be no democracy.”

In a few years, Obama will be the honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America. For now, he is the actual chairman.
"we" includes you and me...HE gives the medal not we
Doesn't this professed socialist understand that the first thing a socialist movement attempts to do is destroy the middle class (Lenin's bourgeoisie)?
Obviously, she either hasn't been paying attention...or she's lying.
Marking for later reading
The Obama - Socialist chant “yes we can” when played backwards, becomes “Thank you satin”

It has been very appropriate for this administration!
It's as if he's totally 'come out' in every way and is just mocking us. . The Presidential Medal of Freedom to the head of the DSA? Sure, no problem. . Ask me 10 years ago if this was even remotely possible and I would have thought you were psychotic.
