Yes, the Republican National Committee WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus and RNC Co-Chairman Sharon Day released the following statement commemorating Kwanzaa:
“I want to extend my best wishes to all who are celebrating Kwanzaa,” said Chairman Priebus. “For families coming together to mark the occasion, I hope it is a joyous time of celebration with loved ones–and a time of meaningful reflection ahead of the New Year.”
“From December 26 through January 1, many families will take time to celebrate African culture and history. Kwanzaa is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to honor the importance of family and community, and it reminds us of the great diversity in America. Happy Kwanzaa!” said Co-Chairman Day
Festivus makes more sense than Kwanzaa.
Does he realize that one of the “values” that Kwanzaa celebrates is “cooperative economics”?
I’m guessing committeeman Dave Agema didn’t sign on to this one.
Ah yes, that celebration that was invented by a convicted felon and is a purely fabricated american invention that has nothing to do with Africa.
I have met a couple black people who do observe kwanzaa.
No harm in wishing them a good one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I agree. Lets go sexually assualt and torture some young woman for Kwanzaa.
No harm in that right?
Conservatives need to get off our collective asses and change the RNC. It took less than 1500 votes to put tea partier Dave Agema on the RNC and that is where policy is made.
Of course, I don't know much about it, just what I read in the Plain Dealer liberal rag, and if it's a "band together and hate whitey" for seven days in December holiday, then I would have a problem with Priebus. Did he by chance make any press releases about the Solstice celebrations last Saturday? LOL!!
And I was wondering about Festivus...when is that? I hope I didn't inadvertently miss it! Maybe I'll just celebrate that today, along with Boxing Day...! ;)
If they think this will win for them any credibility with the target population, they are sorely mistaken.
All it will do is alienate conservatives of ALL ancestries from them!
another good “black outreach” strategy would be to
1. campaign in predominately-black neighborhoods (include them in the schedule)
2. explain how R policies of more jobs and more opportunities to open your own business... would benefit blacks especially with their high unemployment
3. explain the facts about how the D party is the party of slavery whereas the R party is the party of the abolitionist movement. ancient history can still count, as the D party knows from its (incredible) distortion of America’s real political history.
What an ass. Bob
So tell me again why I should vote republican.
Im going to start calling and emailing re this KWANZAA debacle.
what tis in effect DOES thats of some good is illustrate just how FRIGHTENED and thus willing to PANDER these poor dopes really are.
lest they offend...ANYONE they NEED to send Kwanzaa greetings
let us inform them that beings SLAVES to political correctness is NOT what the republican party should BE about!
Far as it takes
.....How ironic, considering that the FASTEST growing faith in Africa NOW is the Christian faith.
“According to Karenga, Christianity is a myth. He does not believe in the God of the Bible. He says this about Christianity: “Belief in spooks who threaten us if we don’t worship them and demand we turn over our destiny and daily lives must be categorized as spookism and condemned.” He believes that the death, burial and resurrection of Christ - the whole rationale behind Christianity - is a myth.”
Yet Jesus and the Christian faith is growing very fast in Africa and in the global south.
I wish they’d saved their pandering embarrassing proclamations for MLK Day. At least that’s a holiday,
SEAN HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"
WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.
HANNITY: But I'm a — reverend
WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate

In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama’s pastor in a heated interview about his Church’s teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...
Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

Catholics for Marx [Liberation Theology]
By Fr. Robert Sirico
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, June 03, 2004
In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.
The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These "liberation theologians" saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers.
