Obama’s Kwanzaa greeting: ‘Much to be thankful for’
Washington Times ^ | December 26, 2014 | Maria Stainer

President Obama said there is “much to be thankful for” during Kwanzaa, which runs from Friday to Jan. 1, 2015.

“Michelle and I extend our warmest wishes to those celebrating Kwanzaa this holiday season. Today begins a celebration highlighting the rich African American heritage and culture through the seven principles of Kwanzaa — unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith,” Mr. Obama said Friday. The Kinara is the candleholder that is used in Kwanzaa, a holiday created in 1966 by Maulana Karenga, who was born Ron Everett. He is now professor and chairman of the Department of Africana Studies at California State University, Long Beach, according to his website.

Overlooked is the fact that he delivered these remarks from Marine Corps Base Hawaii . Assuming that no one knows who 'Maulana' Karenga is or what he stands for . It is completely amazing to me that all these good Marines , and their commanding officers , allow Obama to use them and their facilities so carelessly . He could have delivered these as personal remarks , from his multimillion $ ocean side estate they are ensconced in , but no , he chose to stand under the Globe and Anchor . shame shame shame

We are not a community of laws within a nation of laws but rather a community of people who seek social justice outside the rule of law. As we go forth into the new year, just remember if all the nation sought social justice we would all then live in a jungle just as the one we have created within our communities. However, as a community celebrating Kwanzaa, we can give thanks for all those other people not of our community who still seek to live in a nation of laws rather than one defined by social justice.

He owns the military and every government agency such as the FBI, CIA, IRS. They all do his bidding. I don’t understand it. He sure gets his power from somewhere and I shudder to think where that might be.

The Black Liberation Theology holiday.

It’s only a matter of time before Wright and Farrakhan openly lead a White House prayer breakfast.

I would water board him to find out, although he’d probably fold under some stern questioning and the threat of taking away his cigs.......
