that is even scraier than the kids singing. holy cow. can we please have a bolt of lightening strike him or something. this is scarey.

Well, no.
They say that he “inspired” them to “be the next” whatever it is they want to be when they grow up. Whether or not you like the idea of it, there are many people who find inspiration in the fact that a black man will likely be the next president of the United States. Would that all our leaders could be inspirational.
Second, this is a step team. Step teams have been around for a long time, and they have nothing to do with the Hitler youth movement.
“During the mid-20th century, traditionally Black fraternities and sororities on United States college campuses traditionally sang and chanted to celebrate “crossing over” into membership of their respective organizations. Notwithstanding its collegiate roots, stepping is also performed by schools, churches, cheerleading squads and drill teams.”

“They say that he “inspired” them…” (MCK)
How can they be inspired buy a fraud? An anti-American citizen that goes to sermons where the preacher says: God damn America.
How can they be inspired buy a guy that hangs around with ex-terrorists and crooks?
How can they be inspired by a compulsive lyer and a flip-flopper?
How can they be inspired buy a guy that as ACORN as a back-up for fraudulous registration of voters?
How can they be inspired by a guy who got more money from Fanny Mae in 3 years than all others politicians in 20 years?
How can they be inspired by a guy who has no executive experience except for his community organisation who did no good and showed nothing for all the millions they have got?
How can they be inspired by a guy who pushed as a lawyer, Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac to make loans to people who couldn’t afford it and resulted in this financial crises?
How can they be insired by a guy that hides his past to the public?
How can they be inspired by a guy whos wife says it is the first time in her life that she is proud of her country?
How could they be inspired by a guy that will ruin your country and transform it in a socialist country?
How could they be inspired by a guy who is anti-capitalism and wants to make friends with dictators?
I could continue for 10 pages of what this Obama is all about… but I guess that by now, you’ve got my point.
I knew it wouldn’t be too long before one of the Obama Cult apologists and obfuscationists showed up to try and dazzle us all into ignoring yet another piece of the puzzle illuminating the dark cult that is Obama worship.
How innocent it all must seem when one views only one piece of the puzzle. But put this paramilitary whatever you call it together with the school children signing Obama’s praises, the artists sculpting his image as the savior Jesus Christ and the adoring fans waving Obama art posters and fainting at the mere sight of their idol and the picture becomes clearer.
Obama stands for nothing except power. And as such, his followers are willing to issue him a blank check to control the most powerful office on earth.
Too bad not one of you know, let alone care, what he really would do if elected.
They say that he “inspired” them to “be the next” whatever it is they want to be when they grow up. Whether or not you like the idea of it, there are many people who find inspiration in the fact that a black man will likely be the next president of the United States.
First, I agree about the routine. Tho I can’t read the insignias to see just what kind of team they are as competitors in the video. Personally, I don’t find their passion and inspiration troubling.
I find it troubling that they attribute all that *they* can be to one very flawed man. And especially sad that they could find no pride nor inspiration in far more accomplished notables like Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas or Condi Rice. Guess you have to whine about the ‘hood and social injustice before they identify, right?
I could continue for 10 pages of what this Obama is all about… but I guess that by now, you’ve got my point.
Yes, I suppose you could. All of it, however, would be off the topic of my post. Gregory Dittman described what they were saying as, “Notice they say Obama helped them become something as if he just snapped his fingers and it was so.” That’s not at all what they say, and I was pointing that out. I’m not saying anything one way or the other about whether Obama in particular should inspire them, although I did mention that it would be nice for our leaders to be inspirational.
Leaders should be inspirational. But this is CREEEPPPYYY!!!!
Sarah Palin is inspirational. But if a group of women all of a sudden wear beehive hair does and red open toed shoes and march in lockstep signing praises to her I’d say that is creepy too.
As usual, you people ALWAYS have an excuse and never have a reason.

All men are flawed, Mata.
Thomas Jefferson was a slave owner.
Abraham Lincoln was suicidal.
Ulysses S. Grant was an alcoholic.
John F. Kennedy was a philanderer.
John McCain despite his heroism in North Vietnam, came home and abandoned his wife who had been severely injured in an automobile crash.
I’ve checked the list that Dave Noble provided three times and, for the life of me, I have been unable to find a single person in there who consorted with, was close friends with, and worked for a person who bombed the Pentagon and the Capitol.
I also don’t find anyone in that list who sat for 20 plus years in a church pew every Sunday while someone like Jerry Wright was spewing hate.
There’s also not a person in your list who has accepted campaign money from foreign terror groups.
Perhaps I just missed that name, or perhaps your efforts at moral equivalence fail once again.
Of course all men are flawed, Mr. Dave. And if you remember, I wasn’t one with a dog in this race until a pit bull with lipstick showed up… LOL
You’ll also note that I’m not as offended by the routine as many others. I guess growing up in a marching band environment and the discipline, plus having many martial arts kids around me, this just looks like a drill team that picked Obama as their subject matter.
What I do find is how low the bar has dropped for “inspiration”. Colin Powell, Condi and Clarence Thomas have accomplishments Obama has never come close to achieving. He is “just words”, and his “words” do not match his record. At best, he’s an empty suit who does speeches well. At worst, he’s the quintessential Chicago political mafia… slick words and suit, and brutal-within-legality tactics against his foes.
Then again, many kids find sports figures inspiring as well. And we find that many of those are nothing more than street thugs with a ball in hand and a huge salary.
So perhaps I can just let it be at this… kids are inspired by personae created by media spin. Generally the appeal is either for monetary success (sports) or power (politics). These kids idolize an Obama that does not exist.
But I guess if they are inspired to do anything, that’s a plus.

Barrack Obama has never done anything in his life that would be inspirational to young blacks?
Not being the editor of the law review of one of the top five law schools in the country?
Not being a constitutional law professor for 12 years at what interestingly is one of the more conservative law schools in the country?
Not being a Illinois state senator who pushed through a law reguiring the videotaping of police station confessions? Which BTW is now the law in my state. And if you think that’s an anti-law and order requirement, I would suggest to you that it rather ensures that a jury can see the confession and not have a defense attorney make unfounded suggestions about what really took place at the station.
Not being a United States Senator who joined with Republican Senator Richard Lugar to co-sponsor a bill to expand the Nunn-Lugar program for monitoring nuclear stockpiles and keeping nuclear materials out of the hands of terrorists?
Why, doggone, resumes like that are a dime a dozen.
Aye Chi,
Wrong on the “close friend” – “Friendly as in lived in the same neighborhood and their kids went to same schools” —-David Axelrod.
Substantiate the allegation of receiving campaign contributions from foreign terrorist groups.
How is that “a flaw”, other than by judging the 18th century by 20th and 21st century moral standards? Easy to do, today, armchaired by the distance of history.
Thomas Jefferson openly denounced slavery as a profound evil. To actually abolish slavery and free slaves was no simple task. In some places, it was legally impossible to do. Taking into consideration the context of the times that they lived in is vital to understanding why those who were against slavery were often at odds with the abolitionists, let alone with a world that “grew up” on the institution of slavery.
Thomas Sowell (“The Real History of Slavery”, in Black Rednecks and White Liberals):
One of the early battles that was lost [in the anti-slavery sentiments growing amongst colonialists] was Jefferson’s first draft of the Declaration of Independence, which criticized King George III for having enslaved Africans and for over-riding colonial Virginia’s attempt to ban slavery. The Continental Congress removed that phrase under pressure from representatives from the South.
When Jefferson drafted a state constitution for Virginia in 1776, his draft included a clause prohibiting any more importation of slaves an, in 1783, Jefferson included in a new draft of a Virginia constitution a proposal for gradual emancipation of slaves. He was defeated in both these efforts. on the national scene, Jefferson returned to the battle once again in 1784, proposing a law declaring slavery illegal in all western territories of the country as it existed at the that time. Such a ban would have kept slavery out of Alabama and Mississippi. The bill lost by one vote, that of a legislator too sick to come and vote. Afterwards, Jefferson said that the fate “of millions unborn” was “hanging on the tongue of one man, and heaven was silent in that awful moment.”
Three years later, however, Congress compromised by passing the Northwest Ordinance, making slavery illegal in the upper western territories, while allowing it in the lower western territories. Congress was later authorized to ban the African slave trade and Jefferson, now President, urged that they use that authority to stop Americans “from all further participation in those violations of human rights which has been so long continued on the unoffending inhabitants of Africa. Congress followed his urging.
Abstract moral decisions are much easier to make on paper or in a classroom in later centuries than in the midst of the dilemmas actually faced by those living in very different circumstances, including serious dangers.
One way to understand the constraints of the times and their effects on public attitudes is to examine the difference between the way that many in nineteenth-century America saw the slave trade, as distinguished from the way that they saw slavery itself. If the institution of slavery and the presence of millions of slaves were facts of life, within which many decision-makers felt trapped by having inherited the consequences of decisions made by others in generations before them, the continuing trade in slaves, whether from Africa or within the United States, was a contemporary problem that was within their control. Thus, decades before slavery was abolished, the United States joined in the outlawing of the international slave trade. Even many Americans not yet ready to support the abolition of slavery as an institution nevertheless made the bringing of more slaves from Africa a capital offense in the United States.
The moral distinction between slave trading and the continuation of slavery as an institution might be hard for some in later centuries to understand because, in the abstract, there is no moral difference. Only in the concrete circumstances faced by the people of the times was there a practical social difference.

Ok, try this: he committed adultery with Elizabeth Walker. And then there is the whole black-box of Sally Hemmings.
Lastly, “Thomas Jefferson openly denounced slavery as a profound evil. To actually abolish slavery and free slaves was no simple task.” No one said it would be easy; of course, it wouldn’t be easy! Yet he knew he did know he was wrong. Hence, he was flawed.
Knowing right and not acting on it is what makes mankind flawed in the truest sense.
You totally missed the point. Or did you just skim what I wrote and what was blockquoted? Try putting yourself in the context of the times, and the social constraints of what was possible. Your casting moral judgment is anachronistic. Moral choices can be made only from options that are actually available to be made. More excerpts from Sowell’s Black Rednecks and White Liberals:
We cannot assume twenty-first century options, or even present-day knowledge, when judging decisions made in the 19th century. Nor can we assume that we have superior knowledge of the social realities of an earlier era that we never lived through, compared to the first-hand knowledge of those who confronted those realities daily and inescapably.
Moral Questions about slavery have been, almost exclusively, Western moral questions.. Non-Western societies had neither moral concerns about slavery nor, in most cases, the power to decide on the continuance or extinction of the institution for themselves during the era of European imperialism, when slavery was suppressed over most of the world by the West. Not only has the West’s crucial role in the destruction of slavery around the world gone largely unnoticed, standards applied almost exclusively to the West have been used to condemn European and European offshoot societies for having once had slavery.
Even those Western leaders who sought to end slavery are condemned by critics today for not having done it sooner or faster. The dangers and constraints of their times have too often been either ignored or brushed aside as mere excuses, as if elected leaders operating under the constitutional law could simply decree whatever they felt was right.
~~~
Even those slaveholders with aversions to slavery in principle were constrained by a strong tradition of stewardship, in which the family inheritance was not theirs to dispose of in their own lifetime, but to pass on to others as it had been passed on to them. George Washington was one of those who had inherited slaves and, dying childless, freed his slaves in his will, effective on the death of his wife. His will also provided that slaves too old or too beset with “bodily infirmities” to take care of themselves should be taken care of by his estate, and that the children were to be “taught to read and write” and trained for “some useful occupation”.
This is an important point to highlight, because some like Jefferson and Washington understood that simply freeing slaves without giving them the necessary tools and means to survive in society was more like abandonment than liberation. They did consider the possibility of sending freed slaves back to Africa. But the reality was, many of these slaves no longer had ties to Africa, either.
One concrete result of the back-to-Africa movement was the establishment of the colony of Liberia on the West African coast, to which freed American blacks were sent during the administration of James Monroe, for whom they named their capital Monrovia. These first settlers were decimated by African diseases to which they no longer had biological resistance- which was just one of the problems of trying to undo the past.
Frederick Douglass himself, refused the offer to be sent to Africa, seeing himself as an American.
[Washington’s] estate in fact continued to pay for the support of some freed slaves for decades after his death, in accordance to his will.
The part of Washington’s will dealing with slaves filled almost three pages, and the tone as well as the length of it showed his concerns.
The language of the will was written in very legalistic terms; but when it came to speaking about what was to become of his slaves, he spoke with the passionate command of issuing an executive decree: “I do hereby expressly forbid the sale…of any Slave I may die possessed of, under any pretext whatsoever.”
“There is not a man living who wishes more sincerely than I do to see a plan adopted for the abolition of it.” Washington once said, in regards to slavery as a national issue. The moral question for him was easy; but how to carry it out with compassion and foresight planning was a complex matter. Only through legislation, did Washington see it as a realistic possibility to end the institution; and he said that the legislator who could achieve that, would get his vote.
During his public life, Washington was known to leave behind slaves he brought with him on his travels to the north, in effect, freeing them. His behavior as a slaveowner is also noted in Richard Brookhiser’s Founding Father:
Beginning in the early 1770’s, he rarely bought a slave and he would not sell one, unless the slave consented, which never happened. not selling slaves was an economic loss. Slave labor on a plantation with soil as poor as Mount Veronon brought in little or nothing…The only profit a man in his position would make was by selling slaves to states where agriculture was more flourishing. Washington would not. “I am principled against selling negroes as you would do cattle at a market…” From 1775 until his death, the slave population at Mount Vernon more than doubled.

I believe I also recall Jefferson being torn about freeing his slaves and the consequences that they (the freed slaves) would suffer if he made that decision.

Wordsmith, few drop bottom to an absolute and full cultural and historical anthropological construction of human morality than I. Yet, Jefferson and Washington cannot be equated to typical slave owners, being men of many means.
Obviously, I’m going to disagree with Sowell and many of his thoughts. (If you want to discuss his ideas after the election, I’ll be game then.)
Gotta wonder about lots of things about this…the article says the teacher was sent a letter telling him not to post the video…why? who else received the letter? what did the letter say?
Is race a factor here? all the boys on the “team” are black, and the school is a charter school…is everybody there black? is the teacher? the superintendant? Given the comment about the coach who intends to vote for Obama based solely on his race, is that a factor here?

Dave Noble: Just to take two of your “facts”
You said
“For Not being the editor of the law review of one of the top five law schools in the country?” Sounds impressive, seriously, but aren’t you curious how he accomplished this? Obama has never explained how he got elected president of the Review in the first place. Historically, the position had gone to students whose writings in the Review had shown real skill. Prior to his election, however, Obama had written only one unsigned note and that one heavily edited. Once elected, Obama contributed not a word. As Matthew Franck says in National Review Online, “A search of the HeinOnline database of law journals turns up exactly nothing credited to Obama in any law review anywhere at any time.” You can find how he got this position just by Googling “Obama+Mansour+Harvard”. I did.
You said
“Not being a constitutional law professor for 12 years at what interestingly is one of the more conservative law schools in the country?”
No-o-o-o-o-o. NOT quite. The Chicago Sun-Times criticized Obama for calling himself a professor when, in fact, the University of Chicago faculty page listed him as “a senior lecturer (now on leave).” The Sun-Times said, “In academia, there is a vast difference between the two titles. Details matter.” Interestingly, since all the hoopla and knowing where their educational bread might be spread with Presidential butter, the U of C since has, um, word-smithed that to read as if he were a professor. Hey, Dave, I have a copy of a 2005 U of C Hospital press release about Michelle’s new VP position that refers to Barack as a “senior lecturer”at the law school, not a “professor”.
What else ya got? You could always explain Obama’s involvement with Ayers, Farrakhan, Wright, Rezko, al-Mansour, etc. Maybe his fabulous Illinois Senate record, such as in 1997
when Lil’ Barry introduced his “Islamic Community Day” bill declaring November 1, 1997 to be South Shore Islamic Community Center Day.

Don Ess,
You have forgotten to ask Dave about Obama and Odinga connections. That dictator in Kenya, where Obama went in 2006 with your tax money to help him win the election.
“What should Americans make of Mr. Obama’s Kenyan connection? If he has been putting tribal or family considerations above America’s national interest by supporting Mr. Odinga’s anti-Western candidacy, it raises serious questions about his judgement.
If Mr. Obama did not know about Mr. Odinga’s electoral deal with the Kenyan Islamists when he offered his support, then he should have known. If he did know, then he is guilty of lending the prestige of his office to America’s enemies in the global war on terror. We need to know exactly what Mr. Obama knew about Mr. Odinga, and precisely when he knew it.”
These look like the fat Albert Kids…… german hitler youth ?

And ODINGA is the guy that Obama campaigned with in Kenya?
“For the US and “the war on terror”—the most worrisome section—contained in both agreements– concerns extradition (or renditions) of suspected terrorists to the US and elsewhere. The Kibaki government had been a leading supporter of the US’s efforts to dismantle Al-Queda cells in Kenya (National Commission of Terrorist Attacks on the United States- 9/11 Report) and elsewhere. Raila ODINGA MADE OPPOSITION to the government’s crackdown of suspected Al Queda supporters a cornerstone of his campaign.”
Obama will make a geat president to me i dont care about some one he met when he was 8 so quite with the crying already all you pubican do his cry and wine you all make me laugh like your doing actual detective work and then listen to on air idiots about there personal live I dont give a heck about there personal business ass long as they can run this country who care what they do on there own time sorry for the fast write down but in a hurry LOL you all really make me laugh that you all gettin work up over this election crap who ever it is mckain a scare away from the heart attack rather have obama if he drop the ball atleast biden there for help sorry palin and her red lipstick can go home to me
hectec said: ” i dont care about some one he met when he was 8 “
Hec… are you eligible to vote? I hope not. Because if someone so totally ignorant is casting a ballot that’s almost as scary a thought as these Obama brigages.
Obama never met Ayers when he was 8. However, Ayers did help launch Obama’s political career and played a key role in it.
Now, go read a book that doesn’t have pictures in it.
Craig, no, I didn’t forget but I am glad you posted that. Good one.
I know that everyone who isn’t being fooled by Obama has to be astonished that the DNC is supporting this guy. Here’s what the Dems are blocking. It is an unprecedented move to hide the secrets of a Presidential candidate. The following questions remain sealed from the public:
1. Certified Copy of original birth certificate
2. Columbia College records
3. Columbia Thesis paper
4. Campaign donor analysis requested by seven major watchdog groups
5. Harvard College records
6. Illinois State Senate records
7. Illinois State Senate schedule
8. Law practice client list and billing records/summary
9. Locations and names of all half-siblings and step-mothers. He does have that now-famous half-brother in the Kenyan hut who is trying to exist on less than $2 a month. Hey, Lil’ Barry, hook your bro up with a twenty and he’ll be flush for the next ten months, OK? Which reminds me: How about man-of-the-people Joe Biden giving 2/10 of one percent of his income to charity, huh? Obama sure could make him look silly(ier) with that $20.
10. Medical records (only a one-page summary released so far)
11. Occidental College records
12. Parents’ marriage certificate
13. Record of baptism
14. Selective Service Registration
15. Schedules for trips outside of the United States before 2007
16. Scholarly articles (Good luck with that)
17. Access to his grandmother
18. List of all campaign workers who are lobbyists
When I drive past very expensive homes here in North Baltimore and their owners have Obama-Biden lawn signs, I can barely resist the urge to knock on their very expensive doors and ask how they think their $$$ will fare under Obama’s socialism.
Btw all of what I’ve posted in my two messages here is part of a much longer reply I wrote to answer that dim-bulb, high-circulation “I’m a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight….. If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you’re ‘exotic, different.'” that’s polluting cyberspace.

I would like to see Obama’s college thesis from Columbia. Apparently it was on the Soviet Union and military disarmament.
Having spent two years in the International Affairs grad school at Columbia myself I can just imagine what kind of defeatist, appeasing bilge Obama must have soaked up and regurgitated.
No wonder they can’t find a copy.

The thing I don’t understand about all this is…just because Obama came into the picture, now they have the will to push further to become better? That will and determination didn’t exist before? That there is no self-motivation? These kids (and whomever it is publicizing these sorts of videos) seem to have only one purpose in mind – to elevate Obama as the Messiah or the savior, while ignoring the fact that these kids have what it takes to achieve whatever goals they want to achieve in them all along. There’s no one holding them back; there’s no one telling them that they can’t do what it is they want to do. We’re in the 21st century – the days of slavery and Jim Crow laws are no more. We’re not suppressing any race. And what’s been said earlier is true – why don’t Colin Powell, Condi Rice, Clarence Thomas and the like serve as motivation for these kids? They’ve actually accomplished something in their lives, unlike Obama.
And it’s their [the kids’] choice whether to study hard in school to become something or to start sagging their pants down to their knees and join gangs. However, I did recently find out that in some cases, a black man/woman who does well in school/in life is often considered to be going white, and that’s all due to their own social pressures, their hatred for the white population. It’s really all up to them to let go of those notions and make something of themselves. Ain’t no one holding them back.
Not being the editor of the law review of one of the top five law schools in the country?
This is an accomplishment, yes. Is it a swooner for anyone? I doubt any one of these kids idolizes Obama because he was an editor of an elite law rag.
Not being a constitutional law professor for 12 years at what interestingly is one of the more conservative law schools in the country?
I’m sorry… I didn’t realize Obama was the first black professor…. LOL I also didn’t realize professors had such world wide inspirational appeal.
Not being a Illinois state senator who pushed through … snip
Funny about that Obama IL state record. His correspondence and records are unavailable… destroyed, I hear. But according to most accounts, his record as a state Senator are about as listless and scant as his US record. Not much being touted on the campaign trail either.
Not being a United States Senator who joined with Republican Senator Richard Lugar to co-sponsor a bill to expand the Nunn-Lugar program for monitoring nuclear stockpiles and keeping nuclear materials out of the hands of terrorists?
Oh, you mean the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction Act of 2005 that went to the Committee for Armed Services and was never heard from again? The same one that had 38 other sponsors, besides Obama and not including Lugar? This is what you’re giving him credit for?
That bill wasn’t designed to do anything but modify where they could use program funds. Are you under some impression it’s an accomplishment for any of the 40 bipartisan Senators? ANd where the heck did you get the notion that flipping around the program funds would “keep nuclear materials out of the hands of terrorists”?? It’s a budget issue. Oh, and perhaps an over exaggerated Obama talking point. He doesn’t have much else to talk about.
~~~
Now, compare Obama’s lackluster career with Clarence Thomas… another lawyer. Obama got out of school… sorta, as profs never really leave school… and tied himself up with the Chicago political machine and ACORN as a community organizer fundraiser.
Clarence Thomas was graduated from Yale, then became an Asst AG in Missouri. It seems the law firms didn’t want to take his Yale degree seriously because they thought it was just affirmative action. Obama, of course, did not have that problem in Harvard…. different era, different world. Hardly as “uphill”
But that hasn’t stopped Obama from complaining that America is not what it once was… good thing for his butt, or that law review editor gig wouldn’t have been.
A few years later, Thomas became Danforth’s Legislative Asst. After that, he was in Reagan’s Education Dept as Asst. Secy of Education for the Office of Civil Rights. And he did all that by the time he was 34 years old.
Where was Obama by that age? He was newbie fresh with ACORN training experience, and part of alegal support team defense in suing banks for redlining…. the perfect experience for getting tapped by fellow Woods Fund board member, William Ayers, to help funnel $160 mil of funds to political friends with the CAC money.
Thomas was four years younger than Obama is today when he was appointed to the SCOTUS. Today Obama’s riding the media wave frenzy with no notable experience but a good speech in 2004. He’s been a drive thru member in the IL Senate, and the same in the US Senate.
Inspiration has always been there for those that were looking. It just didn’t come packaged in flash and rock star stage settings. ANd I find it sad that someone like Thomas can be discarded, and an empty suit like Obama becomes an idol.
Other than that, I agree with “what the”… it’s good these kids are inspired and have some direction. I’m just sorry they think they couldn’t do it without Obama. Fact is, they never needed him. There were so many around with far more to offer.

These “Barack Brigades” are reminiscent of the “Unión de Pioneros de Cuba”, the very young ones were told in their classrooms to close their eyes and ask God and the Three Wise Men (SantaClaus) for presents, when they would open their eyes later on, there would not be any presents. At this point the teacher would tell the kids to close their eyes and ask Fidel for presents, when the eyes would open, they will each have presents by their desk.
Later on these kids were taught to turn in their parents if they saw them committing anti-revolutionary acts.
There is a 1985 interview of a KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov (see below), which will explain the systematic attack on all of our decent people in government, our institutions and our values.

Interesting video Paul. Thanks for sharing. Yes, our Obamaton friends have been doing exactly what the old Soviet model recommended as a tool to undermine America. But then, that shouldn’t surprise anyone considering the RED ties that Obama has starting from childhood.

I do not need a marxist like obama to inspire me. god can do that. the marxist obama with other people’s money can rent people to say and do any thing that he want them to say or do.
then they can go out and buy them some more crack with the money.
Where did Dave Noble go….did the truth scare him off?

ARE ALL OF YOU SERIOUS WITH YOUR IGNORANT RHETORIC!!! THIS IS ACTUALLY CALLED STEPPING. IT’S IN THE OLD TRADITION WITHIN AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY THAT IS UTILIZED IN FRATERNAL ORGANIZIONS AND THE LIKE. I CAN ALWAYS APPRECIATE THE WONDERFUL REBUPLICAN SPIN ON A TRADITION TO SIDE WITH THAT GREAT IMPOSTER OF A MAVERICK! THIS IS IGNORANCE AT IT’S FINEST!
HAIL OBAMA!
Oh Lord! Who are those brainwashed idiots in adoration for their Gourou? God helps America!
I saw this a few days ago and the spam filter kept eating the posts. Notice they say Obama helped them become something as if he just snapped his fingers and it was so.
that is even scraier than the kids singing. holy cow. can we please have a bolt of lightening strike him or something. this is scarey.
Well, no.
They say that he “inspired” them to “be the next” whatever it is they want to be when they grow up. Whether or not you like the idea of it, there are many people who find inspiration in the fact that a black man will likely be the next president of the United States. Would that all our leaders could be inspirational.
Second, this is a step team. Step teams have been around for a long time, and they have nothing to do with the Hitler youth movement.
“During the mid-20th century, traditionally Black fraternities and sororities on United States college campuses traditionally sang and chanted to celebrate “crossing over” into membership of their respective organizations. Notwithstanding its collegiate roots, stepping is also performed by schools, churches, cheerleading squads and drill teams.”
“They say that he “inspired” them…” (MCK)
How can they be inspired buy a fraud? An anti-American citizen that goes to sermons where the preacher says: God damn America.
How can they be inspired buy a guy that hangs around with ex-terrorists and crooks?
How can they be inspired by a compulsive lyer and a flip-flopper?
How can they be inspired buy a guy that as ACORN as a back-up for fraudulous registration of voters?
How can they be inspired by a guy who got more money from Fanny Mae in 3 years than all others politicians in 20 years?
How can they be inspired by a guy who has no executive experience except for his community organisation who did no good and showed nothing for all the millions they have got?
How can they be inspired by a guy who pushed as a lawyer, Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac to make loans to people who couldn’t afford it and resulted in this financial crises?
How can they be insired by a guy that hides his past to the public?
How can they be inspired by a guy whos wife says it is the first time in her life that she is proud of her country?
How could they be inspired by a guy that will ruin your country and transform it in a socialist country?
How could they be inspired by a guy who is anti-capitalism and wants to make friends with dictators?
I could continue for 10 pages of what this Obama is all about… but I guess that by now, you’ve got my point.
Thanks mck.
I knew it wouldn’t be too long before one of the Obama Cult apologists and obfuscationists showed up to try and dazzle us all into ignoring yet another piece of the puzzle illuminating the dark cult that is Obama worship.
How innocent it all must seem when one views only one piece of the puzzle. But put this paramilitary whatever you call it together with the school children signing Obama’s praises, the artists sculpting his image as the savior Jesus Christ and the adoring fans waving Obama art posters and fainting at the mere sight of their idol and the picture becomes clearer.
Obama stands for nothing except power. And as such, his followers are willing to issue him a blank check to control the most powerful office on earth.
Too bad not one of you know, let alone care, what he really would do if elected.
Students of history know better.
First, I agree about the routine. Tho I can’t read the insignias to see just what kind of team they are as competitors in the video. Personally, I don’t find their passion and inspiration troubling.
I find it troubling that they attribute all that *they* can be to one very flawed man. And especially sad that they could find no pride nor inspiration in far more accomplished notables like Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas or Condi Rice. Guess you have to whine about the ‘hood and social injustice before they identify, right?
Yes, I suppose you could. All of it, however, would be off the topic of my post. Gregory Dittman described what they were saying as, “Notice they say Obama helped them become something as if he just snapped his fingers and it was so.” That’s not at all what they say, and I was pointing that out. I’m not saying anything one way or the other about whether Obama in particular should inspire them, although I did mention that it would be nice for our leaders to be inspirational.
Leaders should be inspirational. But this is CREEEPPPYYY!!!!
Sarah Palin is inspirational. But if a group of women all of a sudden wear beehive hair does and red open toed shoes and march in lockstep signing praises to her I’d say that is creepy too.
As usual, you people ALWAYS have an excuse and never have a reason.
We don’t need no stinking reasons, were Obambi’s army. Seems I heard all this before, Seig heil. History means nothing unless you learn from it. it’s obvious some pay no attention to it, and that is not only scary, it’s suicidal.
All men are flawed, Mata.
Thomas Jefferson was a slave owner.
Abraham Lincoln was suicidal.
Ulysses S. Grant was an alcoholic.
John F. Kennedy was a philanderer.
John McCain despite his heroism in North Vietnam, came home and abandoned his wife who had been severely injured in an automobile crash.
Keep your character calculator calibrated.
I’ve checked the list that Dave Noble provided three times and, for the life of me, I have been unable to find a single person in there who consorted with, was close friends with, and worked for a person who bombed the Pentagon and the Capitol.
I also don’t find anyone in that list who sat for 20 plus years in a church pew every Sunday while someone like Jerry Wright was spewing hate.
There’s also not a person in your list who has accepted campaign money from foreign terror groups.
Perhaps I just missed that name, or perhaps your efforts at moral equivalence fail once again.
I’d bet on the latter.
Character calculator indeed.
Of course all men are flawed, Mr. Dave. And if you remember, I wasn’t one with a dog in this race until a pit bull with lipstick showed up… LOL
You’ll also note that I’m not as offended by the routine as many others. I guess growing up in a marching band environment and the discipline, plus having many martial arts kids around me, this just looks like a drill team that picked Obama as their subject matter.
What I do find is how low the bar has dropped for “inspiration”. Colin Powell, Condi and Clarence Thomas have accomplishments Obama has never come close to achieving. He is “just words”, and his “words” do not match his record. At best, he’s an empty suit who does speeches well. At worst, he’s the quintessential Chicago political mafia… slick words and suit, and brutal-within-legality tactics against his foes.
Then again, many kids find sports figures inspiring as well. And we find that many of those are nothing more than street thugs with a ball in hand and a huge salary.
So perhaps I can just let it be at this… kids are inspired by personae created by media spin. Generally the appeal is either for monetary success (sports) or power (politics). These kids idolize an Obama that does not exist.
But I guess if they are inspired to do anything, that’s a plus.
Barrack Obama has never done anything in his life that would be inspirational to young blacks?
Not being the editor of the law review of one of the top five law schools in the country?
Not being a constitutional law professor for 12 years at what interestingly is one of the more conservative law schools in the country?
Not being a Illinois state senator who pushed through a law reguiring the videotaping of police station confessions? Which BTW is now the law in my state. And if you think that’s an anti-law and order requirement, I would suggest to you that it rather ensures that a jury can see the confession and not have a defense attorney make unfounded suggestions about what really took place at the station.
Not being a United States Senator who joined with Republican Senator Richard Lugar to co-sponsor a bill to expand the Nunn-Lugar program for monitoring nuclear stockpiles and keeping nuclear materials out of the hands of terrorists?
Why, doggone, resumes like that are a dime a dozen.
Aye Chi,
Wrong on the “close friend” – “Friendly as in lived in the same neighborhood and their kids went to same schools” —-David Axelrod.
Substantiate the allegation of receiving campaign contributions from foreign terrorist groups.
You’re seriously gonna quote David Axelrod?
Surely you jest.
Can you tell me how many years Obama and Ayers worked together on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge?
Talk to me about how Obama and Ayers were working together the day Ayers stomped on the US flag for the NY Times.
Can you tell me whose living room was used to launch Obama’s IL political career?
Can you say Hamas?
Can you say Gaza?
I knew you could.
Sorry to steer off-topic, but….
How is that “a flaw”, other than by judging the 18th century by 20th and 21st century moral standards? Easy to do, today, armchaired by the distance of history.
Thomas Jefferson openly denounced slavery as a profound evil. To actually abolish slavery and free slaves was no simple task. In some places, it was legally impossible to do. Taking into consideration the context of the times that they lived in is vital to understanding why those who were against slavery were often at odds with the abolitionists, let alone with a world that “grew up” on the institution of slavery.
Thomas Sowell (“The Real History of Slavery”, in Black Rednecks and White Liberals):
Ok, try this: he committed adultery with Elizabeth Walker. And then there is the whole black-box of Sally Hemmings.
Lastly, “Thomas Jefferson openly denounced slavery as a profound evil. To actually abolish slavery and free slaves was no simple task.” No one said it would be easy; of course, it wouldn’t be easy! Yet he knew he did know he was wrong. Hence, he was flawed.
Knowing right and not acting on it is what makes mankind flawed in the truest sense.
doug,
You totally missed the point. Or did you just skim what I wrote and what was blockquoted? Try putting yourself in the context of the times, and the social constraints of what was possible. Your casting moral judgment is anachronistic. Moral choices can be made only from options that are actually available to be made. More excerpts from Sowell’s Black Rednecks and White Liberals:
This is an important point to highlight, because some like Jefferson and Washington understood that simply freeing slaves without giving them the necessary tools and means to survive in society was more like abandonment than liberation. They did consider the possibility of sending freed slaves back to Africa. But the reality was, many of these slaves no longer had ties to Africa, either.
Frederick Douglass himself, refused the offer to be sent to Africa, seeing himself as an American.
The language of the will was written in very legalistic terms; but when it came to speaking about what was to become of his slaves, he spoke with the passionate command of issuing an executive decree: “I do hereby expressly forbid the sale…of any Slave I may die possessed of, under any pretext whatsoever.”
“There is not a man living who wishes more sincerely than I do to see a plan adopted for the abolition of it.” Washington once said, in regards to slavery as a national issue. The moral question for him was easy; but how to carry it out with compassion and foresight planning was a complex matter. Only through legislation, did Washington see it as a realistic possibility to end the institution; and he said that the legislator who could achieve that, would get his vote.
During his public life, Washington was known to leave behind slaves he brought with him on his travels to the north, in effect, freeing them. His behavior as a slaveowner is also noted in Richard Brookhiser’s Founding Father:
I believe I also recall Jefferson being torn about freeing his slaves and the consequences that they (the freed slaves) would suffer if he made that decision.
I don’t have that info at my fingertips at this moment, but that is my recollection.
Wordsmith, few drop bottom to an absolute and full cultural and historical anthropological construction of human morality than I. Yet, Jefferson and Washington cannot be equated to typical slave owners, being men of many means.
Obviously, I’m going to disagree with Sowell and many of his thoughts. (If you want to discuss his ideas after the election, I’ll be game then.)
Why am I not surprised that Doug Goebbels has attempted to steer this comment stream seriously off topic.
If I supported a candidate whose supporters marched around in paramilitary uniforms singing the candidate’s praises I might do so as well.
Sieg Heil Doug!
Can’t have that sort of thing out there now, can we…! Looks like the poster might have been “caught”…guess Missouri has a lot of Obama supporters.
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/06/middle-school-teacher-suspended-obama-frat-spat/
Gotta wonder about lots of things about this…the article says the teacher was sent a letter telling him not to post the video…why? who else received the letter? what did the letter say?
Is race a factor here? all the boys on the “team” are black, and the school is a charter school…is everybody there black? is the teacher? the superintendant? Given the comment about the coach who intends to vote for Obama based solely on his race, is that a factor here?
Dave Noble: Just to take two of your “facts”
You said
“For Not being the editor of the law review of one of the top five law schools in the country?” Sounds impressive, seriously, but aren’t you curious how he accomplished this? Obama has never explained how he got elected president of the Review in the first place. Historically, the position had gone to students whose writings in the Review had shown real skill. Prior to his election, however, Obama had written only one unsigned note and that one heavily edited. Once elected, Obama contributed not a word. As Matthew Franck says in National Review Online, “A search of the HeinOnline database of law journals turns up exactly nothing credited to Obama in any law review anywhere at any time.” You can find how he got this position just by Googling “Obama+Mansour+Harvard”. I did.
You said
“Not being a constitutional law professor for 12 years at what interestingly is one of the more conservative law schools in the country?”
No-o-o-o-o-o. NOT quite. The Chicago Sun-Times criticized Obama for calling himself a professor when, in fact, the University of Chicago faculty page listed him as “a senior lecturer (now on leave).” The Sun-Times said, “In academia, there is a vast difference between the two titles. Details matter.” Interestingly, since all the hoopla and knowing where their educational bread might be spread with Presidential butter, the U of C since has, um, word-smithed that to read as if he were a professor. Hey, Dave, I have a copy of a 2005 U of C Hospital press release about Michelle’s new VP position that refers to Barack as a “senior lecturer”at the law school, not a “professor”.
What else ya got? You could always explain Obama’s involvement with Ayers, Farrakhan, Wright, Rezko, al-Mansour, etc. Maybe his fabulous Illinois Senate record, such as in 1997
when Lil’ Barry introduced his “Islamic Community Day” bill declaring November 1, 1997 to be South Shore Islamic Community Center Day.
Don Ess,
You have forgotten to ask Dave about Obama and Odinga connections. That dictator in Kenya, where Obama went in 2006 with your tax money to help him win the election.
“What should Americans make of Mr. Obama’s Kenyan connection? If he has been putting tribal or family considerations above America’s national interest by supporting Mr. Odinga’s anti-Western candidacy, it raises serious questions about his judgement.
If Mr. Obama did not know about Mr. Odinga’s electoral deal with the Kenyan Islamists when he offered his support, then he should have known. If he did know, then he is guilty of lending the prestige of his office to America’s enemies in the global war on terror. We need to know exactly what Mr. Obama knew about Mr. Odinga, and precisely when he knew it.”
Read the rest:
http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/01/atlas-sighting.html
Odinga says he and Obama are related.
These look like the fat Albert Kids…… german hitler youth ?
And ODINGA is the guy that Obama campaigned with in Kenya?
“For the US and “the war on terror”—the most worrisome section—contained in both agreements– concerns extradition (or renditions) of suspected terrorists to the US and elsewhere. The Kibaki government had been a leading supporter of the US’s efforts to dismantle Al-Queda cells in Kenya (National Commission of Terrorist Attacks on the United States- 9/11 Report) and elsewhere. Raila ODINGA MADE OPPOSITION to the government’s crackdown of suspected Al Queda supporters a cornerstone of his campaign.”
THE TRUE STORY:
http://africanpress.wordpress.com/2008/08/10/senator-barack-obama-in-kenya-obama-and-odinga-the-true-story/
Obama will make a geat president to me i dont care about some one he met when he was 8 so quite with the crying already all you pubican do his cry and wine you all make me laugh like your doing actual detective work and then listen to on air idiots about there personal live I dont give a heck about there personal business ass long as they can run this country who care what they do on there own time sorry for the fast write down but in a hurry LOL you all really make me laugh that you all gettin work up over this election crap who ever it is mckain a scare away from the heart attack rather have obama if he drop the ball atleast biden there for help sorry palin and her red lipstick can go home to me
hectec said: ” i dont care about some one he met when he was 8 “
Hec… are you eligible to vote? I hope not. Because if someone so totally ignorant is casting a ballot that’s almost as scary a thought as these Obama brigages.
Obama never met Ayers when he was 8. However, Ayers did help launch Obama’s political career and played a key role in it.
Now, go read a book that doesn’t have pictures in it.
Ummm…..
He didn’t meet Ayers when he was eight.
You really don’t have a clue do you?
Craig, no, I didn’t forget but I am glad you posted that. Good one.
I know that everyone who isn’t being fooled by Obama has to be astonished that the DNC is supporting this guy. Here’s what the Dems are blocking. It is an unprecedented move to hide the secrets of a Presidential candidate. The following questions remain sealed from the public:
1. Certified Copy of original birth certificate
2. Columbia College records
3. Columbia Thesis paper
4. Campaign donor analysis requested by seven major watchdog groups
5. Harvard College records
6. Illinois State Senate records
7. Illinois State Senate schedule
8. Law practice client list and billing records/summary
9. Locations and names of all half-siblings and step-mothers. He does have that now-famous half-brother in the Kenyan hut who is trying to exist on less than $2 a month. Hey, Lil’ Barry, hook your bro up with a twenty and he’ll be flush for the next ten months, OK? Which reminds me: How about man-of-the-people Joe Biden giving 2/10 of one percent of his income to charity, huh? Obama sure could make him look silly(ier) with that $20.
10. Medical records (only a one-page summary released so far)
11. Occidental College records
12. Parents’ marriage certificate
13. Record of baptism
14. Selective Service Registration
15. Schedules for trips outside of the United States before 2007
16. Scholarly articles (Good luck with that)
17. Access to his grandmother
18. List of all campaign workers who are lobbyists
When I drive past very expensive homes here in North Baltimore and their owners have Obama-Biden lawn signs, I can barely resist the urge to knock on their very expensive doors and ask how they think their $$$ will fare under Obama’s socialism.
Btw all of what I’ve posted in my two messages here is part of a much longer reply I wrote to answer that dim-bulb, high-circulation “I’m a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight….. If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you’re ‘exotic, different.'” that’s polluting cyberspace.
D
I would like to see Obama’s college thesis from Columbia. Apparently it was on the Soviet Union and military disarmament.
Having spent two years in the International Affairs grad school at Columbia myself I can just imagine what kind of defeatist, appeasing bilge Obama must have soaked up and regurgitated.
No wonder they can’t find a copy.
i think this is freakin scary!!!! please god prevent this man obama from bein our next pres.!!!!
Imagine how the Millhouse supporters will act if their canidate looses…………
Sorry, Mike. I’m the one at fault.
maybe someone should put this on tv as a commercial. scary doesnt even come close.
if you love your personal and civil rights wake up and vote!!!
huh??? what ever!!! have you ever been to a “black community?” then you might understand why this is great! the kids of today lack and…. what i mean is kids… all KIDS of America and from all backgrounds need some sort of leadership, they are not getting at home and lets face it, the absence of the “father figure” is huge mistake in the American household. this country is soo screwed up from the ground up!!! it is actualy good too see a group of young men that are positive about becoming a fireman etc etc and not sagging their pants down to their knees and wearing shorts to their ankles and shirts that look like dresses! this is a breath of fresh air! you fools are frighten of this . you should all be ashamed of your selves and having grandmother and grandfathers that are Russian Jew’s from the 30’s i find the photo of the Hitler youth to be very offensive and how dare you compare them .
shame shame.
This is the scariest thing I’ve ever seen. We cannot let this man into the White House. We cannot.
What the said: “this country is soo screwed up from the ground up!!!”
That’s the typical Obama-Ayers-Wright point of view.
America sucks and only Obama leading a paramilitary takeover can clean it up?
Sorry What The… I’ll leave up the photo of the Hitler Youth as it appears YOU DON”T GET IT!
And I doubt you ever will.
Sucks to be you doesn’t it?
Don Ess (#32),
Those 18 items in your list should make a perfect ad for McCain.
The title could be:
WHAT YOU WILL NEVER KNOW ABOUT OBAMA
Imagine viewers reading that list on TV as it would unroll?
The thing I don’t understand about all this is…just because Obama came into the picture, now they have the will to push further to become better? That will and determination didn’t exist before? That there is no self-motivation? These kids (and whomever it is publicizing these sorts of videos) seem to have only one purpose in mind – to elevate Obama as the Messiah or the savior, while ignoring the fact that these kids have what it takes to achieve whatever goals they want to achieve in them all along. There’s no one holding them back; there’s no one telling them that they can’t do what it is they want to do. We’re in the 21st century – the days of slavery and Jim Crow laws are no more. We’re not suppressing any race. And what’s been said earlier is true – why don’t Colin Powell, Condi Rice, Clarence Thomas and the like serve as motivation for these kids? They’ve actually accomplished something in their lives, unlike Obama.
And it’s their [the kids’] choice whether to study hard in school to become something or to start sagging their pants down to their knees and join gangs. However, I did recently find out that in some cases, a black man/woman who does well in school/in life is often considered to be going white, and that’s all due to their own social pressures, their hatred for the white population. It’s really all up to them to let go of those notions and make something of themselves. Ain’t no one holding them back.
Dave Noble’s Obama accomplishments:
This is an accomplishment, yes. Is it a swooner for anyone? I doubt any one of these kids idolizes Obama because he was an editor of an elite law rag.
I’m sorry… I didn’t realize Obama was the first black professor…. LOL I also didn’t realize professors had such world wide inspirational appeal.
Funny about that Obama IL state record. His correspondence and records are unavailable… destroyed, I hear. But according to most accounts, his record as a state Senator are about as listless and scant as his US record. Not much being touted on the campaign trail either.
Oh, you mean the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction Act of 2005 that went to the Committee for Armed Services and was never heard from again? The same one that had 38 other sponsors, besides Obama and not including Lugar? This is what you’re giving him credit for?
That bill wasn’t designed to do anything but modify where they could use program funds. Are you under some impression it’s an accomplishment for any of the 40 bipartisan Senators? ANd where the heck did you get the notion that flipping around the program funds would “keep nuclear materials out of the hands of terrorists”?? It’s a budget issue. Oh, and perhaps an over exaggerated Obama talking point. He doesn’t have much else to talk about.
~~~
Now, compare Obama’s lackluster career with Clarence Thomas… another lawyer. Obama got out of school… sorta, as profs never really leave school… and tied himself up with the Chicago political machine and ACORN as a community organizer fundraiser.
Clarence Thomas was graduated from Yale, then became an Asst AG in Missouri. It seems the law firms didn’t want to take his Yale degree seriously because they thought it was just affirmative action. Obama, of course, did not have that problem in Harvard…. different era, different world. Hardly as “uphill”
But that hasn’t stopped Obama from complaining that America is not what it once was… good thing for his butt, or that law review editor gig wouldn’t have been.
A few years later, Thomas became Danforth’s Legislative Asst. After that, he was in Reagan’s Education Dept as Asst. Secy of Education for the Office of Civil Rights. And he did all that by the time he was 34 years old.
Where was Obama by that age? He was newbie fresh with ACORN training experience, and part of alegal support team defense in suing banks for redlining…. the perfect experience for getting tapped by fellow Woods Fund board member, William Ayers, to help funnel $160 mil of funds to political friends with the CAC money.
Thomas was four years younger than Obama is today when he was appointed to the SCOTUS. Today Obama’s riding the media wave frenzy with no notable experience but a good speech in 2004. He’s been a drive thru member in the IL Senate, and the same in the US Senate.
Inspiration has always been there for those that were looking. It just didn’t come packaged in flash and rock star stage settings. ANd I find it sad that someone like Thomas can be discarded, and an empty suit like Obama becomes an idol.
Other than that, I agree with “what the”… it’s good these kids are inspired and have some direction. I’m just sorry they think they couldn’t do it without Obama. Fact is, they never needed him. There were so many around with far more to offer.
These “Barack Brigades” are reminiscent of the “Unión de Pioneros de Cuba”, the very young ones were told in their classrooms to close their eyes and ask God and the Three Wise Men (SantaClaus) for presents, when they would open their eyes later on, there would not be any presents. At this point the teacher would tell the kids to close their eyes and ask Fidel for presents, when the eyes would open, they will each have presents by their desk.
Later on these kids were taught to turn in their parents if they saw them committing anti-revolutionary acts.
There is a 1985 interview of a KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov (see below), which will explain the systematic attack on all of our decent people in government, our institutions and our values.
View this video and compare it to what is happening in our country today.
Interesting video Paul. Thanks for sharing. Yes, our Obamaton friends have been doing exactly what the old Soviet model recommended as a tool to undermine America. But then, that shouldn’t surprise anyone considering the RED ties that Obama has starting from childhood.
I’ve embedded the video you recommended here:
Yuri Bezmenov
by onmyway02
Paul,
I just finish viewing your video. OUCH! America has to see this video before election day. I knew USA was becoming a communist country, I felt it, but now I know why.
PLEASE somebody embed this video… it is a MUST:
YURI BEZMENOV
P.S.: OUPST! I’m too late. Thank you Mike. You have already embeded the video. This video should be the next one up in that special video section you have on this site.
I do not need a marxist like obama to inspire me. god can do that. the marxist obama with other people’s money can rent people to say and do any thing that he want them to say or do.
then they can go out and buy them some more crack with the money.
Where did Dave Noble go….did the truth scare him off?
I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR THE LONGEST TIME!!! PEOPLE — LISTEN!!! CANT FOLKS SEE BY GIVING THE FAR LEFT DEMOCRATS THE PRESIDENCY AND A FILIBUSTER PROOF CONGRESS IS THE EQUAL TO HOW HITLER BEGAN??? AND WHO THIS TIME WILL THEY PICK TO PERSECUTE ??? WHO NOW WILL SUFFER?
ARE ALL OF YOU SERIOUS WITH YOUR IGNORANT RHETORIC!!! THIS IS ACTUALLY CALLED STEPPING. IT’S IN THE OLD TRADITION WITHIN AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY THAT IS UTILIZED IN FRATERNAL ORGANIZIONS AND THE LIKE. I CAN ALWAYS APPRECIATE THE WONDERFUL REBUPLICAN SPIN ON A TRADITION TO SIDE WITH THAT GREAT IMPOSTER OF A MAVERICK! THIS IS IGNORANCE AT IT’S FINEST!
