An Urban League event and we're supposed to be impressed that the Obamessiah got the best reception? That's like congratulating Snoop Dog for having more black felons in his audience than Pat Boone!

You have let yourself be misled by Leftists quoting snatches of Martin Luther King's Washington March address, out of context. King stood for the Leftist values, epitomized today by Jesse Jackson--King's disciple--and Al Sharpton. While King is quoted talking about judging people by their character, the whole purpose of the 1963 affair was to try to force Congress to adopt legislation outlawing personal preferences in employment and housing--clearly a departure from every traditional concept of freedom. King was about the application of Gandhian mass manipulation tactics to promoting more Governmental intrusion, to a collectivist egalitarian end (essentially substituting Marxist values for those of Magna Carta/Jefferson, etc.).

The Obama phenomenon is the crowning achievement of two generations of Marxist and other Leftist assaults on traditional American values, including the attack on our previoius immigration policy--replaced in 1965 by one actually favoring those who have the least in common with traditional Americans. (It is perhaps fitting that Obama actually goes a step beyond the Teddy Kennedy immigration policy, in that his father was not even an immigrant from a small tribe in Kenya. He was just passing through!)

“If there’s one thing he always delivers, it’s a great speech. But, I hpe you’ll listen carefully, because his ideas are not always as impressive as his rhetoric,” said McCain.

McCain needs to run a hard hitting ad against Obama over and over. Should go something like.....stating everything Obama wants to do that will raise taxes, then at the end show one of Obama’s change posters but with pictures of nickels, dimes and pennies all over it with a subtitle....the only CHANGE you will see with Obama is what’s left in your pocket when he is done.

On the MLK stuff I guess I should have put up my sarc warning. I in no way have been or will be misled by this group of anti-American ______________. You can fill in the blank with what ever word you feel is necessary.

But thanks for your concern we do have to watch out for ones going astray.

But, today, for Sen. Obama, it’s more of a love fest!”

Too bad the throng wasn't comprised of cannibals.

It’ll be the “people’s house” as long as you are one of the “right” people.

Well it sure was the “people’s house” in the 19th century when both Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln were overwhelmed by unruly crowds which trashed the place...... I’m sure Obambi’s followers could do an equally good job, or better, at turning the WH into a saloon:


In 1829, a horde of 20,000 Inaugural callers forced President Andrew Jackson to flee to the safety of a hotel while, on the lawn, aides filled washtubs with orange juice and whiskey to lure the mob out of the mud-tracked White House.

After Abraham Lincoln’s presidency, Inaugural crowds became far too large for the White House to accommodate them comfortably. However, not until Grover Cleveland’s first presidency did this unsafe practice change.

Obama said...in his administration, the White House would be “the People’s House.”

Just as long as you don't say anything critical about him there. (Wasn't he preparing an "enemies list"?)

Yeah, an enemy's list and a citizen's army. I think he'll call it the "panther division".

“It will be re-designated The People’s Republic of Aztlan.”

Maybe but that’s (the Aztlan part) likely to happen no matter which Democrat is elected this year.
