SCOTUS To Discuss Obama Birth Certificate Case on January 9

Is it just my part of the country or is the real Kool-Aid powder disappearing everywhere? With its high acid content, it makes a nice pastel dye for woolens. However, I’ve found very little in stores this year or last. Hmm. Did all the sheeples use it up to make their wool pink?

I suspect Hopeful Black Man on TGW used to be Angry Black Man who would troll here at NQ. Now he’s telling people at TGW and The Confluence to f- off and he’s using stupid logic to justify Warren’s presence at The One’s inauguration: http://guerillawomentn.blogspot.com/2008/12/obama-supporters-want-their-money-back.html

Just another example of the Troll Exchange Program at work.

You mean UBM. It is a similar style of writing, I agree. I feel sorry for him, because first he was angry about race relations and then he was hopeful because O. was running. He had a few moments of reasonableness there when O won and he saw it really is possible, white people vote for blacks. Soon it’s going to be back to angry, as he realizes O is always going to be O, and he’s still going to have to make it on his own without that hero.

WarrenGate is just the beginning. From Ani’s diary:

Obama’s inaugural choice sparks outrage http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/12/17/obama.warren/index.html

[Warren’s] book “The Purpose Driven Life” has sold more than 20 million copies since it was first published five years ago, and Time magazine named him one of the 25 most influential evangelicals in 2005.

“Many believe that Warren … is the successor to the [Rev. Billy Graham] for the role of America’s minister,” Time wrote in 2005.

Obama has been so “cleaver” to set up white women as the scape goats — when the AAs and especially the male AAs realize that they are still black guys in the morning a whole lot of people are going to be pissed. (thanks to Rev. Manning for this line of reasoning).

Obama plans ahead — he planned to take Hillary out by using sexism (because it also comes easy to 0) — and when 0 follows the demands of his backers and ignores the AA (males) — these men are going to be angry. But 0 has no worries because he has already set up the victims of this rage.

Funniest comment of the day.

So the new memo is that by picking Warren, he is bringing people together? Are they serious? Who would that be, who the hell is left to bring together? My God. Do they really think that after the way they went after Palin, choosing this homophobic pudge ball will make up for the attacks on the religious right? Yikes, I hope the conservatives don’t fall for this.

He is stating that the Confluence is flipping off Obama supporters, but that is lie. What the post reflects is the answer the Obama Campaign is giving those former supporters who are asking for a REFUND! http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/2008/12/18/funny-story-of-the-year/

I can’t think of anyone with the exception of maybe a minister from the Unitarians, Christian Science (?) or one of their off shoots who might be neutral enough to satisfy their demands. Priests, Rabbis and most organized protestant denominations are on the same page. Maybe the Messiah should give his own benediction. Oh wait. That won’t work because he’s on record that marriage is one man and one woman. I know…it’s very inconvenient for his worshipers.

the problem is people use skin color to try to further themselves instead of their own will. a black president doesn’t make everything all better. only each person can do that for themselves.

It’s just where you are, unfortunately. We live between GA, FL, and IL. I haven’t noticed any dampening of enthusiasm for The One in any of these places.

I see Rahm is getting in trouble. One can hope.

Hey, ease up on the Unitarians!

tek: as in non-judgmental…

I remember when I attended the Unitarian Universalist church in the East Bay, Episcopal Bishop James Pike (anyone remember him?)spoke at our church on morality…described the Unitarians as a nice group of liberals who get together on Sunday. Of course, liberal then and “liberal” now maybe not the same. Some people seem to think that liberal and today’s “progressive” are interchangeable. I still think I’m liberal in most ways but in today’s definition who knows?

LOL, sometimes I’m very abstract but this time I’m being literal. I mean the stuff that comes in little packets at Krogers, or whatever you have. It is, actually, a very safe and delicate dye for natural fibers.
Sorry to hear that the other kind of Kool-Aid is still so prevalent.

Wasn’t that Undercover Black Man? Or is there an Angry one, too?
http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

Undercover Black Man is a shameful ass. He’s not even black and did so much race bating and caused so many problems here. Only to have everyone find out he was a liar.
bemused

Aha. He is like William Ayers, then, who always felt like he was a black. (He felt alienated and thus aligned himself with an alienated group, imo.)

I thought Jim Wallis would have been a good choice. He is an evangelical moderate who is over the divisiveness of abortion and gay marriage used by the religious right to gain power for themselves.
