A mind reader AND a comedian.  You really should get your own show, ya know! 

Here again we have an instance of not looking at things the way they are.  Any SC justices appointed by Obama would not be in his pocket but in the pockets of those who put him in power in the first place.  Obama is nothing more than a puppet with some very wealthy puppeteers.  Do you not undestand that? 

It made me tear up.  My granddaughter *caught me* and wanted to know what was wrong.  I just told her I heard a very sad song that was unfortunately very true.  She wanted to hear it, and I played it for her, as well.  Thanks for posting this.  Pink is in good company.  There are more and more of us every day that he can't/won't walk with.

Anyone seen the kids singing the Obama song.  It's way way creepy.  They're all dressed in their little uniform and doing hand gestures and you can definitely tell the kids do not know what the lyrics mean.  It was on the Obama website but after so many negative comments they took it off.  One commenter on AOL wrote "it is eerie.  What on earth are children doing praying to a candidate?  I'm not sure what bothers me the most:  Is it their glassy-eyed stares?  Is it their Children of the Corn-fed good looks?  Their hyptonized vibrato-less tones?  Someone else wrote "This has more than a little whiff of Havana and Moscow about it".  And another commenter wrote "These kids are already being taught to worship Obama as if he were some kind of god.  That's what kids in North Korea, Cuba, Saddam Hussein's old Iraq, and other totalarian regimes were taught to do as well.  The purpose is if they grow up seeing their leaders as god-like they're less likely to rise up against them." (now that's one of the best observations I've read).

Anyway...here is the link and you can see for yourselves.  Don't watch it before bed unless you don't mind nightmares.

"I look forward to working together in the New Year," Saltsman wrote. "Please enjoy the enclosed CD by my friend Paul Shanklin of the Rush Limbaugh Show."

The CD, called "We Hate the USA," lampoons liberals with such songs as "John Edwards' Poverty Tour," "Wright place, wrong pastor," "Love Client #9," "Ivory and Ebony" and "The Star Spanglish banner."

Several of the track titles, including "Barack the Magic Negro," are written in bold font.

The song, which debuted on Limbaugh's show in late March 2007, latches onto an opinion column in the Los Angeles Times of the same title. That column, penned by cultural critic David Ehrenstein, argued that Obama could serve as a balm to whites who felt guilty about past treatment of African Americans.

Limbaugh first highlighted the column the day it ran, according to a contemporary report by Media Matters, the liberal watchdog agency. Media Matters reported Limbaugh repeated the phrase more than two dozen times the day the column ran.

The following month, Shanklin debuted his version of the song, sung to the tune of "Puff the Magic Dragon" and performed in Shanklin's impression of AL Sharpton.

"See, real black men, like Snoop Dogg, or me, or Farrakhan, have talked the talk, and walked the walk, not come in late and won," one verse in the song says.

Saltsman said he meant nothing untoward by forwarding what amounts to a joke more at Ehrenstein's expense than at Obama's.

"Paul Shanklin is a long-time friend, and I think that RNC members have the good humor and good sense to recognize that his songs for the Rush Limbaugh show are light-hearted political parodies," Saltsman said.

Republicans searching for ways to attack Obama have been hesitant to embrace any reference to his race. Limbaugh presciently predicted his allusion to the column nearly two years ago would win attention from left-leaning organizations that would suggest he was using Obama's race against him.

Although we do disagree at times, just like I disagree with JTBB sometimes, at least they are normal "conversations." 

This is a joke, a parody of all the ridiculous right-winger fundamentalists telling us the tsunami is God punishing people who don't think like them, that Katrina looked like a fetus.......blah-blah-blah. 

The difference is that this is a JOKE and the other examples are DEAD SERIOUS!!!!!  I hope you understand this better now.

Gawd,  just think about the possibilities for teenage rebellion reasons when these kids are old enough.  And I thought I had it bad at age 15!!!!! 

I tend to see a link in:  Oppression of women = viewing women as baby machines

Mind you, I do think babies are precious but I don't necessarily believe that quantity equals quality.

Some religions foster woman as baby-machines (Catholicism included, unfortunately), some cultures foster it.  But as I said, it's part of the destruction of our world if it continues.  Okay, I'll climb down off my soapbox now.

and that they had no WMDs.
