In South Carolina, my adopted home they think they Civil Roghts Act of 1964 and The voting rights act of '65 are pieces of liberal legislation. They would vote for slavery to return today. Yet strangley in a state that did not vote to rejoin the union they have a law requireing school children to pledge to the flag every day and they must have a veterans day program. Go figure. I am a 61 year old born in the South white man who like Michelle Obama was finally proud of my country on th cold morning last January when I stood on the Mall for 4 hours waiting to See Obama sworn in. I pray for Republican. This is all about having a black man be president.

"We had about 40,000 or 50,000" duh? 4,000 or 5,000. Quote constitution. duh? Preamble. When the Pledge of Allegiance words are messed up. Duh? Whats going on here? They want to influence my vote? I guess they did, but no in their favor. lol.

]]> By: Superbowl of Freedom had a pretty scarry halftime show. « Madison Sandinista http://minnesotaindependent.com/49225/bachmann-king-stein-milbank-house-call/comment-page-1#comment-42788 Superbowl of Freedom had a pretty scarry halftime show. « Madison Sandinista Sat, 07 Nov 2009 04:23:19 +0000 http://minnesotaindependent.com/?p=49225#comment-42788 [...] The Superbowl of Freedom was a comedic farce. It is as though the organizers took a page from the inept characters that colour Milos Forman’s great satires from the Czech New Wave like Fireman’s Ball. In a sort of capitalist version of course. This scene in particular is really macabre with all the trappings of satirical dark comedy: More ominously, a man standing just beyond the TV cameras apparently suffered a heart attack 20 minutes after event began. Medical personnel from the Capitol physician’s office — an entity that could, quite accurately, be labeled government-run health care — rushed over, attaching electrodes to his chest and giving him oxygen and an IV drip.This turned into an unwanted visual for the speakers, as a D.C. ambulance and firetruck, lights flashing, pulled in just behind the lawmakers. A path was made through the media section, and the patient, attended to by about 10 government medical personnel, was being wheeled away on a stretcher just as House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) stepped to the microphone. “Join us in defeating Pelosi care!” he exhorted. A few members stole a glance at the stretcher. Boehner may have been distracted as well. He told the crowd he would read from the Constitution, then read the “we hold these truths” bit from the Declaration of Independence. As you’d expect at a political protest, the messages on signs and buttons were provocative: “Waterboard Congress,” “A Commie Is in the House.” [...] [...] The Superbowl of Freedom was a comedic farce.
