All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden." -- Ronald Reagan<br><br>"For we’re a nation of community; of thousands and tens of thousands of ethnic, religious, social, business, labor union, neighborhood, regional and other organizations, all of them varied, voluntary and unique.

I ask you to seek a common good beyond your comfort, to defend needed reforms against easy attacks, to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor. I ask you to be citizens.

He said this wasn’t about the issues, this was directed at Barack and Michelle Obama. He said they are turning this into a cultural war. So now, after all this time of being told how WE need to go to school and get married BEFORE we start families and get ahead based on our hard work and achievements…here you have that in a BLACK family and all of a sudden its ELITE and a bad thang. This is pure Karl Rove. They are trying to pretend that “community organizer” is now some code for urban black man that doesn’t care about little old rural small town America…<br><br>The beautiful black family with the college educated parents and two wonderful daughters that take ballet and piano lessons in their lovely home in Chicago vs The Dukes of Hazzard with a pregnant teen daughter getting ready for her shotgun wedding to a high school dropout. This is what they’re doing. It’s the same southern strategy of the 60s. Remember that scene in Rosewood where that \'neck is talking about Sylvester’s piano? “why he got a piano, I aint got no piano”……..that’s how they think. Why should Barack have that life? Why should Michelle have a good job and a husband that loves her? Why should Malia and Sascha have all that? They dont deserve that....That’s how they think. Yeah, this just confirms my suspicions all along. Now its “cool” for Pam Anderson and Anna Nicole to talk politics. The party of family values all of a sudden think THIS BLACK FAMILY is not reflective of "true family values". The two people who worked and borrowed their way thru college and law school, who are raising two beautiful kids with the help of her mother, yeah, these two people are "just not like us" The family who did all the right things and yet, here you have these \'necks showing us just how much that shyt does NOT matter when it gets right down to it. <br><br>Well, I for one say "Thank You"...thank you for confirming for me what I knew deep down was the truth. These are the people laughing and pointing in those old pictures with black bodies swinging from the tree. These are the people that beat a child and put him in the Tallahatchie River in Mississippi. These are the people that laughed when black folks were having to dig and recover the bodies of four little black girls from a blown up Birmingham church. These are the SAME PEOPLE. They will not change, they never will.</div>\

He\'s praising her skills so to give him free reign later on to NAIL. HER. ASS. <br><br>He\'s helping to do away with the notion that she\'s some kind of helpless, hapless "Hockey Mom" who is battling against the odds against the big, bad boys. He\'s putting it out there that she\'s tough, that way no one will be able to say he was too hard on her.<br><br>He was like, "Golly gee willikers, what a tough opponent!" but you know that he really thinks she\'s a lightweight and that he can\'t wait to mow her down.</div>\

She offered almost nothing of substance. She\'s positive we should be paranoid. She mocked constitutional rights. Well screw you, Nananook of the Nazis. The stuff about putting the governor\'s jet on E-Bay was cute but other than that she did what reactionaries always accused hippies of doing -- she tore down but she didn\'t build up. She did something that no hippie was ever accused of doing, she fortified the luxury bunker where the rich and powerful hide. The creepy thing is that she did it in the guise of an American every woman. She sold herself as a great administrator, even though she couldn\'t manage to keep a carwash open in the the muddiest state in the union. . "</div>\

The topic? Community service and volunteerism. I imagine that many of you might have come out of tonight\'s RNC festivities with great concerns about the future welfare of our nations\' community organizers. You might share your concerns with the event\'s organizers, by contacting them at <a href="http://www.bethechangeinc.org/servicenation/about_us/contact_us" rel="nofollow">http://www.bethechangeinc.org/servicenation/abo...</a>. <br><br>With any luck, this forum could get quite awkward for one of these candidates!</div>\

As a state Senator, Obama funneled money to the likes of Tony Rezko and Valerie “Habitat Co.” Jarrett (Obama\'s <i><b>“longest serving advisor and closest campaign aide”</b></i>).<br><br>Basically, <i>‘Community Organizers’</i> funnel Federal money from so-called “anti-poverty programs” to radical anti-America groups and/or to corrupt people like Tony Rezko and Valerie “Habitat Co.” Jarrett.<br><br>For the most part, <i>‘Community Organizers’</i> are paid Democratic Campaigners/Supporters, who’s actual <i>‘PAY’</i> come from the Federal Government. They are not there to help “Poor People”, they are there to help the Democratic Party – and themselves – to Federal money, and the results of so-called “anti-poverty programs” reflect that fact.</div>\

Here is my first post in this thread:<br>----------------------------- <br>The <i>‘Community Organizer’</i> Obama didn’t help “Poor People” very much when he was one. He helped “Poor People” even less when he was a state Senator, e.g. the crumbling housing projects he left behind. As a state Senator, Obama funneled money to the likes of Tony Rezko and Valerie “Habitat Co.” Jarrett (Obama\'s <i><b>“longest serving advisor and closest campaign aide”</b></i>).<br><br>Basically, <i>‘Community Organizers’</i> funnel Federal money from so-called “anti-poverty programs” to radical anti-America groups and/or to corrupt people like Tony Rezko and Valerie “Habitat Co.” Jarrett.<br><br>For the most part, <i>‘Community Organizers’</i> are paid Democratic Campaigners/Supporters, who’s actual <i>‘PAY’</i> come from the Federal Government. They are not there to help “Poor People”, they are there to help the Democratic Party – and themselves – to Federal money, and the results of so-called “anti-poverty programs” reflect that fact. <br>------------------------------------ <br><br>Other than Anderkoo giving it one shot, no one else has tried. Why don\'t you give it a shot before asking a question...go ahead, and then I may answer your question here.</div>\
