Especially proverbs about “power” — this sculpture doesn’t illustrate the Big Man phenomenon terribly well, does it?
Again, CBBHO just doesn't get it.

I have three eggs of power- green, blue and pink. I used to have 5, but I lost the purple and yellow ones. I blame Bush.

Cato the Elder Tue, Jan 27, 2009 6:47:41pm |
From the link:
It’s allegedly based on some “ancient African proverb,” which means that (a) the proverb was made up by some white dude 20 years ago and (b) it completely contradicts the horrid reality on the ground in Africa — the last place from which we should be adopting “proverbs.”
As to (a), that's a bold statement to make without any evidence. And regarding (b), I'll take my proverbs where I find them. Denigrating an entire continent of people and their wisdom (I reserve judgment on this "proverb" until I actually find someone who can tell me what it says) because of the misery in which many of them live seems a little bit, well, racist to these old eyes. Is everything Confucius ever said garbage because the Chicoms hold power in his homeland?
This kind of thing is easy to mock but where does it get us?

re: #37 MandyManners
They are almost all made in China, Thailand or Malaysia. Most experienced travelers will notice the same stuff in tourist traps wherever you go. There are genuine African things you can pick up but as a general rule they don't have the skilled workforce to make them. They are all made overseas and imported.
In all my travels there is one thing that I regret not buying. When I was in Morocco I was digging through a box of miscellaneous "antique" metal stuff (door knobs, hinges, etc) and found an iron Star of David. it was simple but had some detail carving. I asked the guy about it because I didn't know there were any Jews in Morocco. He said it was very old. I though he was lying and didn't buy it. He was probably right.

Obama's election brought a sense of vindication, friends and family members say, particularly as government officials have made the trek down the dirt road to the Obama compound to pay their respects. President Mwai Kibaki declared a national holiday in Obama's honor.
"The death was a great blow to the Obamas," Oluoch, the cousin, said. "We had no one else to be proud of. But 26 years later, God gave us another one."

Denigrating an entire continent of people and their wisdom (I reserve judgment on this "proverb" until I actually find someone who can tell me what it says) because of the misery in which many of them live seems a little bit, well, racist to these old eyes.

Run! It's the Egg of Power! Gah!
We who are Star Trek fans know how invaluable this object is. In fact, it will be the key to ending Iran's nuclear program.
All the One has to do is to meet with the Iranian leadership in his famous no-preconditions diplomacy, and bring the Egg of Power with him. And when they ask what it's for, as they inevitably will, he can say, "Well, here's the thing. If you can answer its riddle, we will not interfere any further with your nuclear program in any way -- but if you cannot, you must relinquish your uranium enrichment and recognize Israel's right to exist peacefully alongside a Palestinian state. Are you confident enough in your wisdom to take on this Western trinket?"
Of course, they will say yes. They cannot at that point admit that their wisdom and knowledge might not be up to the challenge.
And then the One will say, "All right, then. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
And they will melt down -- like Norman, the coordinator android on Mudd's planet.
A powerful object, indeed!

Same outfit selling the Obama's Little Blue Book.
Many African-American people I know have versions of this egg sculpture in their homes--it is, I think, based on some traditional wood carving styles from West Africa (Ghana?). It isn't sinister or uncommon. As for the dang "blue book" that is sheer capitalist entrepreneurship--and, no more sinister than the hero-worship of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. at MLK-Day gatherings.
I think African-American people are among the most resilient, loyal, enduring, faith-filled people in our country. It has been a privilege for me to work on various "team oriented" civic and service projects with them--they know how to organize, how to "make a way when there ain't know way!" and they do find inspiration in Africa-centric artwork, mythology, traditions.
These are also fierce, fearsomely passionate individuals, and I would never want to come between them and a cherished, beloved member of the great extended family of black people in America. I don't think I will ever understand, and Obama is their son, their darling, their pride. Therefore my dissent--even here, my free-speech "home" on LGF--needs to be dissent from policies, anger at bad ideas and failed ideology. We are on very thin ice and on dangerous ground. I have to watch myself, speaking just for myself, because sometimes I shoot from the lip.

I hope the B.S. comment wasn't over the top.
Now that there is a single party in power any ideals of no pork get tossed in the bin post haste. People may have been rightly mad at the Republican majority for being spend thrift, but 30+ years of prior Dem control and fiscal irresponsibility seems to have been conveniently forgotten or ignored.

You said it better then I could of. It's fun to crack wise about insignificant things, but it should not get too snarky. Obama, is of partly African decent, the proverb is pretty wise, and the gift was from his home continent.
The fact that he did not toss it in a closet might mean he agrees with the proverb. I'm not saying his base should rush out and buy one though, that's just weird.

re: #198 Occasional Reader
Which is perhaps why the author used the word "allegedly"?
No, what the author says is that the proverb is allegedly African, casting doubt on whether it is or not, and then goes on to state positively that that means it was made up by some white guy. Not that it was allegedly made up. Look at the sentence. It's insidious.
As to the actual origin, Avanti provided me with a link. Thanks, Avanti! Until someone proves that it's a made-up proverb, whether by a white dude or some other dude, I'm going to say that all the ridicule is misplaced.

Obtained on a 2006 visit to his ancestral Kenya, the “Egg of Power” symbolizes the fragility of chiefly power: According to an ancient proverb, power is like an egg; if it’s held too tightly, it breaks, and if it’s held too loosely, it will slip from grasp."

My parents used to let Gareth (lived with parents for a while as a boy, until his dad remarried) walk part way to church every Sunday, because he was impatient. He never caught on that though he left the house earlier, he never got there ahead of the rest of the family, since he was always picked up on the way.
fine analogy....

This is a silly thing to be wasting out time on. A statue in Obama's office? Who cares? It makes us look small like the Liberals we so often point out. Let's move on to something that matters, please.
If people want to use this insignificant (and kinda neat) piece of art to point out what an enlightened hero he is, or what a pagan whacko he is, then yeah. That would be a silly waste of time.
But if it's used as a source of some jokes, and some puns, then there is no harm in that. Laughter is good. It keeps some of us from being too wound up.

I'm curious; Which races/ ethnicities in the US do you find to be among the least resilient, loyal, enduring, and faith-filled?
I find that the entertainment industry has undermined resiliency, loyalty, endurance, faith, and instilled collectivist attitudes among all classes and races that make up our country. And, I made this comment because the African-American community has faced a disproportionate degree of corrosive, malign influences from entertainment; because many times it seems as if the solidarity and sense of family-loyalty among African Americans is uniquely intense--and because that is a factor in the hero-worship of Pres. Obama

First of all, if the hand is Monkey Pod Tree wood, that tree is native of South, Central America and Pacific Islands. It is not native to Africa. Obviously it could be imported to Africa and be carved but that is very unlikely in that there are many many other types of wood simply lying around in Africa to use.
Second, I looked the photo over and to me it actually looks like walnut with the egg being very similar to rock maple. Any other wood workers out there who care to comment?

Second, I looked the photo over and to me it actually looks like walnut with the egg being very similar to rock maple. Any other wood workers out there who care to comment?

The whole "Cult of Obama" shit is more than just worrisome. It smacks of some the worst aspects of Twentieth Century Totalitarianism. and the Media, hell, even the Republicans give him a pass on it. John McCain had exactly one commercial on it, then I guess he decided it was too mean. And he quit running it.
I don't think that many buy that deeply into it. Most of Obama's support came from ordinary folks who listened to the MSM and really wanted Hope and Change, but forgot to order a Candidatefax before buying the used Marxist four door.

re: #242 Joan
Many African-American people I know have versions of this egg sculpture in their homes--it is, I think, based on some traditional wood carving styles from West Africa (Ghana?). It isn't sinister or uncommon. As for the dang "blue book" that is sheer capitalist entrepreneurship--and, no more sinister than the hero-worship of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. at MLK-Day gatherings.
I think African-American people are among the most resilient, loyal, enduring, faith-filled people in our country. It has been a privilege for me to work on various "team oriented" civic and service projects with them--they know how to organize, how to "make a way when there ain't know way!" and they do find inspiration in Africa-centric artwork, mythology, traditions.
These are also fierce, fearsomely passionate individuals, and I would never want to come between them and a cherished, beloved member of the great extended family of black people in America. I don't think I will ever understand, and Obama is their son, their darling, their pride. Therefore my dissent--even here, my free-speech "home" on LGF--needs to be dissent from policies, anger at bad ideas and failed ideology. We are on very thin ice and on dangerous ground. I have to watch myself, speaking just for myself, because sometimes I shoot from the lip.
If I could give multiple updings, you'd get them.
And to come right out and say it, some of the comments on this and other Obama-mocking threads not only go right up to the edge of racism, but step boldly across that boundary.
I'm all for mockery, and there's no reason why anyone should hold back on what Obama says or does that's ridiculous, but snarking on the African tchotchkes he chooses to own (and I'm referring to some of the comments here, not to the thread as a whole) is, well, stepping on eggshells.

I do a little woodworking as a hobby. Looking closely at the photo and text there are two problems here. First of all, if the hand is Monkey Pod Tree wood, that tree is native of South, Central America and Pacific Islands. It is not native to Africa. Obviously it could be imported to Africa and be carved but that is very unlikely in that there are many many other types of wood simply lying around in Africa to use.
Second, I looked the photo over and to me it actually looks like walnut with the egg being very similar to rock maple. Any other wood workers out there who care to comment?
The site that sells it says this:
The "hand" is carved from the hardwood of the Monkey Pod tree, with interlocked, wavy grain and colors that range from medium tan to dark brown; the "egg" is lathe-turned from the hardwood of the Coffea Arabica tree, a species that produces the majority of coffee consumed in the world.
They mention that President O was gifted in while in Kenya and that it is based on an African proverb. They don't say where it is made, but Kenya is capable of importing wood as well as nick-knacks. If we could turn it over, it might have "Hecho in Mexico" on the bottom.

NERD ALERT!
Danger, danger, warning, warning!
A king, worried that his three sons are without the wisdom to live in a world of wile and guile, asks a learned man called Vishnu Sharman to teach them the ways of the world.
Since his wards are dimwits, Vishnu Sharman decides to pass on wisdom to them in the form of stories. In these stories, he makes animals speak like human beings. Panchatantra is a collection of attractively told stories about the five ways that help the human being succeed in life. Pancha means five and tantra means ways or strategies or principles. Addressed to the king's children, the stories are primarily about statecraft and are popular throughout the world. The five strategies are:
Discord among friends
Gaining friends
Of crows and owls
Loss of gains and
Imprudence
The stories have been translated into nearly every language in the world that has a script. The story form appeals to children while the wisdom in them attracts adults. The Panchatantra collection represents the earliest folk tale form in the world of literature. There are several versions of Panchatantra tales in circulation in the world but the one that is popular in India is the Sanskrit original of Vishnu Sharman.
Enjoy.

The Senate Finance Committee voted 14 to 9 to approve the legislation after amending the original proposal to make sure middle-class taxpayers aren't hit by the alternative minimum tax this year. All Republicans on the committee opposed the package except for Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Me, according to Dow Jones Newswires.

I think African-American people are among the most resilient, loyal, enduring, faith-filled people in our country. It has been a privilege for me to work on various "team oriented" civic and service projects with them--they know how to organize, how to "make a way when there ain't know way!" and they do find inspiration in Africa-centric artwork, mythology, traditions.
These are also fierce, fearsomely passionate individuals, and I would never want to come between them and a cherished, beloved member of the great extended family of black people in America. I don't think I will ever understand, and Obama is their son, their darling, their pride. Therefore my dissent--even here, my free-speech "home" on LGF--needs to be dissent from policies, anger at bad ideas and failed ideology. We are on very thin ice and on dangerous ground. I have to watch myself, speaking just for myself, because sometimes I shoot from the lip.
Well said however, when are we going to get past this? Contrary to what some Europeans say, we do have our own collective culture which is a sum of all of our ethnic parts. Sure, we carry part of our ancestors with us and cherish it but we are all (or should be) part of the American culture. America isn't just the place where we live; it is who we are and that is where I believe the whole multiculturalism movement is destructive. No, I don't think that our culture should be defended and protected by dictate like the French do, but it should be freely accepted and that acceptance should be expected.
I think much of these "cultural differences" between black people who couldn't find Africa on a map and white people who couldn't find Europe on a map is a contrived and artificial difference.
There are those who may say "it's a black thing, you wouldn't understand" and perhaps they are right. I'm of Irish heritage, and what the English did to my ancestors was nothing short of genocide, but that was then and this is now.
Obama himself said that we need to "put away the childish things" - perhaps this "cultural difference" between 20th generation blacks and 20th generation whites is one of the childish things that's in dire need of being put away. Obama is in a unique position to do just that, regardless of the damage that I fear he will do on other fronts.
"E Pluribus Unim" should be what we should strive for; A little unity would go a long way right now.

OT - NASA's Dr. James Hansen, the alarmist who feeds Al Gore, has just been totally slammed by his former NASA boss, Dr. John Theon.
Theon has also now publicly proclaimed himself to be an Man Made Global Warming skeptic (a growing and diverse group) :
Theon declared “climate models are useless.” “My own belief concerning anthropogenic climate change is that the models do not realistically simulate the climate system because there are many very important sub-grid scale processes that the models either replicate poorly or completely omit,” Theon explained. “Furthermore, some scientists have manipulated the observed data to justify their model results. In doing so, they neither explain what they have modified in the observations, nor explain how they did it. They have resisted making their work transparent so that it can be replicated independently by other scientists. This is clearly contrary to how science should be done. Thus there is no rational justification for using climate model forecasts to determine public policy,” he added.
“As Chief of several of NASA Headquarters’ programs (1982-94), an SES position, I was responsible for all weather and climate research in the entire agency, including the research work by James Hansen, Roy Spencer, Joanne Simpson, and several hundred other scientists at NASA field centers, in academia, and in the private sector who worked on climate research,” Theon wrote of his career. “This required a thorough understanding of the state of the science. I have kept up with climate science since retiring by reading books and journal articles,” Theon added. (LINK) Theon also co-authored the book “Advances in Remote Sensing Retrieval Methods.”
Science that uses modified data to feed models intended to interpret that very data, while then not sharing the raw data for others to use to replicate results is inevitably bad science, no matter what it intends or if it coincidentally describes a phenomenon. Looks like Theon is admitting that.

He may not have noticed that the number of Republican colleagues he has in the House has dwindled. And they will dwindle more if he and his friends don't show more leadership and effectiveness in battling the most left-wing agenda in modern history. And they won't continue to lose because of me, but because of their relationship with the grassroots, which is hurting. Conservatives want leadership from those who claim to represent them.

re: #516 Cato the Elder
And to come right out and say it, some of the comments on this and other Obama-mocking threads not only go right up to the edge of racism, but step boldly across that boundary.
Not doubting your point but it seems to be that any comments about Obama and his family, except for strict policy arguments are being interpreted as racist regardless of whether the are or not. The physical appearance of George and Laura Bush was mocked heavily along with their intellectual weight, speech patterns, clothing, drinking habits, how they raised their children, and on and on. Not one interpreted that as racist.
A day or so ago a lady lizard wondered why all the fuss about Michelle Obama's fashion sense and referred to her as a "snarling fullback, swathed in drapery fabric." I damn near died of laughter over that one. When I mentioned it at work, someone IMMEDIATELY said that was a racist comment. Well how so. It might have been snarky, or even wrong (although I thought it was very clever) but where in the comment is race? Is it the word "snarling" or "fullback" or "drapery fabric"....hardly.

We have a society that is this way, they get their information in sound bites and are unwilling or unable to spend time getting to solid answers themselves. They want it fed to them, and they want it fed to them in a jingle format. What they don't understand is those sound bites and platitudes will affect our country, will affect us.

I don't have the energy to rehash all of that. The voters heard it over and over and for whatever reason gave it little weight. He's the President now, and that we can discuss, not pins, his minister or a poorly worded comment by his wife.
So you are saying that we can not discuss the past experiences of our President as they may or may not relate to his actions today? tomorrow?
Bullcrap, his past is relevant, the past of any President is relevant, and can be discussed. It was his socialistic past that has influenced his diecisions this pas week, closing Gitmo is part of his Ayers connection where prisons are wrong.
Simply overturning Bush Admin. Legal decisions was influenced by years of left wing propaganda.

Who worries about "the cow" when it is all about the "Ice Cream?
The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade
this year.
The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an
interest.
I decided we would have an election for a class president.
We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class
would vote.
To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members.
We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have.
We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for
the top spot.
The class had done a great job in their selections.
Both candidates were good kids. I thought Jamie might have an advantage
because he got lots of parental support. I had never seen Olivia's mother.
The day arrived when they were to make their speeches Jamie went first.
He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place. He ended by
promising to do his very best.
Everyone applauded. He sat down and Olivia came to the podium. Her speech was
concise.
She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream." She
sat down.
The class went wild. "Yes! Yes! We want ice cream." She surely could say more. She did not have to.
A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She
wasn't sure.
Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it? She didn't know.
The class really didn't care. All they were thinking about was ice cream.
Jamie was forgotten.
Olivia won by a landslide.
Now the rest of the story……………………………
Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and fifty-two
percent of the people reacted like nine year olds. They want ice cream.
The other forty-eight percent of us know we're going to have to feed the
cow and clean up the mess.
It's kinda like this, 'Wishing and Hoping'.

Jake Tapper on 'Unrequited' Media Love for Obama [Tim Graham]
ABC White House reporter Jake Tapper described Obama’s first full day as president on the PBS talk show hosted by Charlie Rose on the evening of January 21. The real eyebrow-raising passage came when Rose asked Tapper about the relationship between Team Obama and the press, and Tapper described many of his press colleagues on their knees:
I would say for a lot of my colleagues, it's perhaps an unrequited love between them and the president. He’s — you know, he’s a cool customer. You know, I think that there are some of us that, you know, maybe try to report on our feet a little bit more than on our knees and he doesn`t necessarily know what to make of us all the time. You know, he eyes us warily.

Doug has one of the most informative free sites on the internet. I don't have a large collection anymore, for a matter of fact, the little I have is vanilla.
Had a large collection at one time, about 5 years ago, my life changes required me to pass on most of my collection to buyers who would take care of them for me.
But, I do have a good stack of book, and you can't take the knowledge away from me.
Most people don't realize they can hold remarkable ancient history in there hand for very little money. And every coin is actually a newspaper of it's time, the current political propaganda, the bringer of news of the goings on in the empire.

It has seemed that way. It seems to be a pattern with some. The egg punjoke thingy turned into you don't like blackpeopleculture thingy.
Well, I guess I missed those comments. Admittedly, I've been skimming. That's unfortunate, though, that people would pull the race card on this kind of joking.
I actually think the sculpture and the concept behind it is pretty cool. I wouldn't mind having one myself. That being said, I would fully expect my good friends to make jokes about it, and make jokes about me for having it. Still, I would not resort to the cheap tactic of playing the race card if they did.

I've talked with a number of Obama voters. Not a single one looked beyond the Hype. Not one knew who Alinsky was, not one knew about Obama's missing paper trail. Everyone made an emotional decision, not a rational one.
I went to lunch with a big liberal who retired from the Air Force Reserves as a Lt. Colonel. BIG Obama supporter.
I told him "It wasn't the Jeremiah Wright flap that bothered me as much as the Bill Ayers associations. That's because when I got out of the service, Ayers was doing his thing."
He said "But Ayers did his time, didn't he?".
I said "No, off on a technicality. He said 'Guilty as Hell, free as a bird'. His wife did a few years. Ayers is now teaching that crap as a university professor".

Were they happy because only 85 citizens had crimes committed against them? Or were they so happy with the Zero that they didnt give a rats ass about those citizens?

Maybe I'm fed up with the whole "first black President" schtick and the creepy messianic idol worship that accompanies it. The fact is, while I understand the historical significance, I didn't wake up the day after the election and say "my God, we have a BLACK President?". What bothers me about him are his politics, not his pigmentation and they suck (Eggs? Perhaps.)
As for the "Egg of Power", I'm with Charles, it's inherently funny. It's also, in my opinion, incredibly simplistic. As many others have said on this thread, Africa is a basket case ruled primarily by ignorant madmen and tribal proverbs from a continent of failed states is not exactly Greek philiosophy - cute maybe, but not particularly profound. If that's racist well, sorry. I don't suffer fools gladly, regardless of the race of the fool.

Yippeee...compare a dead show to a metalica show too, same amount of people less crime at on than the other.
What is your point here? so what that the security force was equal to the task of keeping the sheeple who were there under control, it does nto change the fact that this man was elected on a wish and a prayer, with no background and no scrutiny. Now, when we begin to question him his loyal followers point to irrelevant facts to draw attention from the important fact that the associations we were all screaming about last year are begining to creep into his decisions.

One of the things that I really don't like about our carry process in this State is that they make you qualify out to 25 yards. If you are shooting at someone 25 yards away, you really should be looking at a way to break off the conflict (this may not be true 100% of the time, but it is certainly the truth for the vast majority of situations).

My daughter was with a group of future progressives of America...high school class. She was the odd man out. She was insulted about the treatment given to Pres. Bush. She also said the place was a pigsty. Rush referred to it as Hurricane Latrena...
I am not sure that inauguration day is a high crime day for any President. Seems too many police around. And if it was safe this time, it was because Pres. Bush declared it a disaster area so they could have additional security.
There is something very satisfying about Bush having the Inauguration of Obama officially declared a disaster.

Yep. You say apropos racism "I'm so tired of that fucking word".
I'm tired of the attitude that racism is dead. It's not, and though they'll dance around the issue and say they didn't mean it that way and I'm just an old grump with no sense of humor, there have been some commenters that cross the line.
I find the "Egg of Power" hilarious, too. But not the sentiments expressed in the original link:
You think I’m kidding. It’s allegedly based on some “ancient African proverb,” which means that (a) the proverb was made up by some white dude 20 years ago and (b) it completely contradicts the horrid reality on the ground in Africa — the last place from which we should be adopting “proverbs.”
The assumption that it can't be a real proverb and if it is, it comes from a bad place and so has no validity is demeaning to an entire continent. As I said in my initial post, do we dump all of Confucius because China's government sucks?
There's a lot of great humor on this thread. There's also some borderline racism. You don't have to like the word, and you don't have to agree with me, and I'm not going to get into a pissing match about it. Just my opinion.

Of course you can discuss it. Hannity will be talking about Ayers in 2012, I'm just not interested in beating that horse any longer.
Dead horse?
Bill Ayers Down With Capitalism
Ayers Is No Education 'Reformer'
He still hopes for a revolutionary upheaval that will finally bring down American capitalism and imperialism, but this time around Mr. Ayers sows the seeds of resistance and rebellion in America's future teachers.
Barack Obama and Bill Ayers: Social Justice Is The Link
Ayers sees his education work as carrying on his radicalism in a new guise. The point of Ayers’ education theory is that the United States is a fundamentally racist and oppressive nation. Students, Ayers believes, ought to be encouraged to resist this oppression. Obama was funding Ayers’ "small schools" project, built around this philosophy. Ayers’ radicalism isn’t something in the past. It’s something to which Obama gave moral and financial support as an adult. So when Shane says that Obama has never expressed sympathy for Ayers’ radicalism, he’s flat wrong. Obama’s funded it.

For good old-fashioned borderline racism, just go back and listen to all the pundits explain how white people wouldn't vote for Obama because of his skin color.
For a shorter trip back in time and explicit racism, just review the prayer delivered at Obama's inauguration. Join us in imploring God that white will choose right in some future, far-off day.

re: #952 Typicalwhitey
Oh for cryin' out loud:
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has launched an online petition for readers to express their outrage at conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh for saying last week that he wanted President Barack Obama to fail.
There is more to this then pettiness...though God knows that the word pettiness in the dictionary is represented by a photo of Chuck You Schumer.
The real thrust is to get everyone on board to institute the Fairness Doctrine. Its coming, but it will be under the radar. And Rush is the target to be marginalized. And as the GOP push him to the fringes, then the FD is instituted because he is now portrayed to be on the fringe.
This is part of an overall plan. Can't trust any of these people to be honest brokers of the truth....they manipulate for power. And too many GOP members want to kiss ass thinking no one will know what caused their bad breaths.

He really knows how to get inside their head and you have to respect that. Even the GOP is starting to feel his heat.
Actually, it's brilliant. Rush is only the beginning. Their hatred is going to spread from him to all the other conservative talk show hosts, and from them to their listeners.
Gives them millions of scapegoats to blame when their polcies inevitably fail.

re: #599 MacDuff
Well said however, when are we going to get past this? Contrary to what some Europeans say, we do have our own collective culture which is a sum of all of our ethnic parts. Sure, we carry part of our ancestors with us and cherish it but we are all (or should be) part of the American culture. America isn't just the place where we live; it is who we are and that is where I believe the whole multiculturalism movement is destructive. No, I don't think that our culture should be defended and protected by dictate like the French do, but it should be freely accepted and that acceptance should be expected.
I think much of these "cultural differences" between black people who couldn't find Africa on a map and white people who couldn't find Europe on a map is a contrived and artificial difference.
There are those who may say "it's a black thing, you wouldn't understand" and perhaps they are right. I'm of Irish heritage, and what the English did to my ancestors was nothing short of genocide, but that was then and this is now.
Obama himself said that we need to "put away the childish things" - perhaps this "cultural difference" between 20th generation blacks and 20th generation whites is one of the childish things that's in dire need of being put away. Obama is in a unique position to do just that, regardless of the damage that I fear he will do on other fronts.
"E Pluribus Unim" should be what we should strive for; A little unity would go a long way right now.
Excellent. I think the multicultural movement amounts to Balkanization, or tribalism if you like.

Obama is not a communist. If you think he is, then you have no concept of real, full blown, que up and get your rations communism.
Vets can support Obama. That doesn't make them anything but supporters of their president.
Using you logic (or lack of it), then anyone, everyone, all, who do ANYTHING for him, on a daily basis, doing the job they were hired for, is a communist.

re: #1124 Sharmuta Ah, thank you Sharm!
Of course the Weather Underground folks would be sockpuppets; if there's one thing - other than murder and attempted murder - the members of the Weather Underground were noted for it's their personal cowardice.
And I reckon y'all have wrung out all the yolks you can about eggs.
So I'll just move on to the idea that vets who voted for Obama are communists. Especially cause that's one I can sink my teeth into.
Not all members of our Armed Forces present or past are what most folks would call "bright" and veterans, particularly us older veterans, are more likely to be not as smart as the younger ones. I have no doubt that some vets - maybe quite a few vets, voted for Obama. That doesn't make them commies, it makes them less than bright. Period. And frankly I think everyone who voted for Obama (exception is Blacks, cause they did view Obama as their first - and maybe last - hope to get one of their own into the White House) was none too fucking bright either.
That's a truly depressing thought, but closer perhaps to the truth than many might admit - to vote for an empty suit, for someone with NO EXPERIENCE AT ALL, for someone who spoke exclusively in platitudes (unless he was talking about Bush or the Republicans) and who never articulated, in any detail, what his plans were should he be elected is in fact not only not bright, but STUPID.

Hi there, Walter! How's show biz? How's the play coming along?
...and on other topics. This one is bombing, not because it stinks, it doesn't. It's by a Pulitzer prize winning author, it's a regional premier, our reviews have been excellent and the cast is some of the better actors in town.
But artistically it was a bad choice. It's an Irish play, so, it's very European, very talky, nothing neatly rapped up, heavy life themes, just all of the heady stuff that the critics love and the audience just sits there and says "why?"
It happens once in a while. Three more weeks to go, so maybe it will pick up a bit.

Yea, it was once the modern thing to be a Commie. After WW II, the bloom came off that rose when they saw what it really stood for. Basically, it's a totally flawed concept that stifles any natural human ambition.
Actually, it was because it became obvious with the CPUSA's flip-flopping on whether or not to enter WWII, that closely paralleled Soviet policy. Stalin's hand up the collective butts of American Communists caused Americans to reject overt Communists as agents of the Soviet Union, which many of them were----and continued to be.

One simple request. If you see Obama start to confiscate personal property, toss out the constitution and the like, get back to me on the Commie thing. He has friends on the left and friends on the right, but it's how he governs that will tell the tale. You guys call me leftie, some call me a Commie, but none of you are going to change your politics by the association with me on LGF.
Disagree with the President when you will, hell, it's your patriotic duty, but the name calling is over the top. As I said before when this came up, if he's a Commie, contact your congressman with the proof and impeach the dude for treason.
I didn't call you anything.
I asked you to name ONE person who obama associates with who is not on the fringe, like ayers, wright etc.
Interesting that you cannot.
BTW, if obama were to start confiscating personal property (nationalizing banks, telling citi they cannot buy a jet) or trashing the constitution (life liberty etc, but now we are paying for abortions abroad) then yeah I will sure call Congress and tell them to impeach him.
I'm sure they will get right on that.

Do tell. What are the major differences between socialism and communism?
A communist government owns all the means of production. Party members get all the plum government jobs. There are no real elections because the elections are all rigged so the the Communist Party can never lose.
A socialist government allows private ownership of some of the means of production but then it taxes away the private profits and spends the money itself. Party members get most of the plum government jobs. There are generally free elections which allow for the socialist party to lose and to be replaced by different forms of government.
Socialism is Communism lite.

No, actually, the average IQ is exactly 100. That, in fact, is the definition of "average IQ." If the average score begins to drift above or below 100, they recalibrate the scoring system so that the average is once again 100.
It's impossible compare the average intelligence level from one era to another for this reason -- and also because they keep changing the tests (to try to continually excise any lingering cultural bias).

What Obama is doing to Rush Limbaugh is really straight out of the playbook. First move in the censor wars. (begun the censor wars have)
I understand that people, conservative people, moderate people, liberal people, find Rush obnoxious. What ever. We better draw the line with him, though, because he's the (big yellow) canary wedged in the mineshaft for this battle in the war against communism.
They had their first great success with instilling irrational hate with the assault against RMN back in the day, and never got over themselves. How many political/cultural opponents have they demonized and marginalized in the years since then? And it goes on long after their opponents have moved on, out of power, into the grave. Oh, I just remembered: Frost/Nixon, and of course Oliver Stone, with "W" Their capacity for hate and vindictiveness is limitless.

But we can and should watch him VERY CLOSELY because I don't think he Likes America and I know he doesn't respect America - for reasons which have been laid out for you by any number of LGFer's.
He has made some missteps in my mind already - none that rise to the level of impeachment (high crimes and misdemeanors) but his narcissistic personality (h/t Sharmuta and others) as evidenced by that little interview he gave Al-Arabyia TV makes him think he's the leader of the World and he needs to be reminded that he is the leader of AMERICA. PERIOD. His obligation is to do what's right for AMERICA and while that will sometimes necessitate his doing things for other nations, he should only be doing those things because by doing so he will be doing RIGHT by AMERICA. So he closes Gitmo (not really, but the Left and MSM hear what they want to hear) so he goes on a Hamas supporting TV station to mention - in passing - that he has Muslims in his family, although he didn't see fit to disclose that before election day, so he fights with HIS CHOSEN Secretary of Defense about America's nuclear deterrent and he hasn't even been POTUS for 10 days yet.
Yeah, I think Obama has socialist and perhaps communist tendencies, but I also think that his narcissistic personality is ill-suited to Communism - but he does most certainly bear close watching.

re: #1269 Sharmuta
Ayers is an asshole- the type of an asshole the future President could turn to to use his living room to start his political career. The type of asshole the future President worked closely with for years. The type of asshole who already though "audacity" was a tool to create political solutions.
Agreed - an email I sent to St. Mary's in response to their BS about paying for him to desecrate the BA.
Thank you Lloyd,
Here are the problems I still have.
St. Mary's is paying a confessed murderer and terrorist to physically be in close proximity to me and my family. I know it's legal - it is the principle. The Government of Canada just denied him physical entry - what do they know that you folks are missing?
St. Mary's is using monies that alumni and community members have provided in one way or another to fund this.
Technology exists - and has for some time - that the speech and Q&A could have been done without Ayers physical presence. Wasn't it CNN that showed off holograph technology during the election?
I feel like the January Term committee acted with arrogance and indifference to the Bay Area community as a whole. Are some of them members of the Berkeley City Council?
Maybe the January Term committee has decided to bring St. Mary's into the national spotlight by provoking protest demonstrations.
One outcome of this thoughtless, unforgivable, transgression will be lower revenue for St. Mary's in the future. The alumni I have communicated with, have indicated they are through giving to St. Mary's because of this action. And all others that I and my family know will be encouraged to do the same.
I am a 4th generation Bay Area resident. I will be at St. Mary's Wednesday January 28, 2009 6:00pm-8:30pm to protest a confessed murderer and terrorist being welcomed by and allowed to speak at St. Mary's. Unbelievable!
My parents, grandparents and great-grandparents must be rolling over in their crypts at Mountain View Cemetery along with many, many others.
Shame on you and may God ultimately forgive those responsible for and supportive of this desecration.
I never will.

In his books he talks about his far left college years, what he learned and what he discarded.

And I won't have to ask them who they voted for, all I have to do is get into a conversation with them about almost anything (and I already know who about 95% of my associates voted for, they volunteered the information).
But lest you think I am of cold heart, please remember that I am disrespecting people who believe in Hope and Change without any fucking clue what Obama meant by those words and who have put MY America in serious jeopardy.

re: #1359 Typicalwhitey
She said tonight that she was not going to do it for that very reason.
She had to have a cesarean and went back to work two weeks later, which is way too soon imo.
The asshole told her that lots of people do that and he was not going to help her financially either since she is able to work!
I feel for you. But if this is who the guy is, she's very lucky to have him gone NOW rather than succeeding in talking him into pretending to do the right thing. He would only screw up her life and the child's.
My sister married a wretch who got her pregnant and claimed to love her. Turned out to be an abusive drunk. Divorce. Trial. Drama. Now he gets unsupervised visits (a legally blind drunk!) every other weekend during the school year and every second week in the summer, plus every other holiday. My niece is now six and will have to put up with this guy until she's eighteen, along with my sister. He uses his child as a way to hurt and get even with my sister. He constantly berates her by email, spewing lies about her and my whole family. But the court decided it this way, and we have to live with it. Pray God he doesn't get drunk some time and lose track of her. As I say, he's blind and a self-admitted alcoholic.
You're far better off with this guy gone now, as I know you realize. But you should definitely see a lawyer to take whatever steps are necessary to make sure he can't come back all sentimental-sorry-acting and try to give some judge a line about needing contact with his child. Just because he's on not on the birth certificate doesn't mean he can't/won't make that type of trouble. Get some serious advice.
Your daughter will get over it. The worst thing is to be stuck with an abusive jerk for decades.
God bless.

re: #449 big steve
I do a little woodworking as a hobby. Looking closely at the photo and text there are two problems here. First of all, if the hand is Monkey Pod Tree wood, that tree is native of South, Central America and Pacific Islands. It is not native to Africa. Obviously it could be imported to Africa and be carved but that is very unlikely in that there are many many other types of wood simply lying around in Africa to use.
Second, I looked the photo over and to me it actually looks like walnut with the egg being very similar to rock maple. Any other wood workers out there who care to comment?

I know someone who had a very similar situation and they went to court to get the guy to pay support, which he of course never did. He has visiting rights and they tried to get them cut off for his non-support and he came at them with a gun. He has never been punished for non-payment at any time. He even was supposed to provide health insurance and bailed on that (without telling them - nice surprise).
And yet, the mother just keeps saying 'he's the father, she needs to know her father.' I'm friends with the grandma, BTW.
The child does not need to know someone who didn't want him. Your step-daughter was smart to keep the creep off the BC. He deserves no credit for the production of an angel.
And unless she's desperately in need of money from him, she should just let him fly off to his own sad, lonely life without her, because she got the prize and he didn't.

Obama definitely leans Socialist. Fact. The next step in Socialism is Communism. Many Americans who voted for Obama have NO CLUE about his ties to Marxists, therefore they may not overtly support Communism.
Saul Alinsky promoted stealth socialism, and Obama (so far) appears to be adhering to this course of action.
A lot of Americans today don't understand what is wrong with communism. They think it means "health care for everyone" and "no one will ever be laid off." These Americans, of whom I know quite a few, are seriously lacking in a solid education.

Paternity is assumed through either birth of a child in a marriage, where the husband is assumed to be the father without question, or by birth certificate assertion by the mother (which is subject to challenge but the burden is on the challenger).
You can stipulate to a point in evidence in a trial, but that is an agreement between opposing counsels to speed up the process.
I would want paternity established even if I never wanted to see or hear from him again, to cover the child in the event circumstances required it.... extreme examples would be a medical matching type situations all the way to inheritance issues that are unimaginable at present .....think 'he wins the powerball and is hit by a train'.

re: #1394 avanti
Sorry, I missed the link that proved he was a Commie. I get the association thing, believe me. First assume he's a Commie because he had leftie associates. Further assume that if he's a Commie, more than half the country are Commies for voting for him, and thus anyone serving with his administration are Commies.
On here I'm a Commie for defending Obama, but I was a Fascist for defending GW on KOS. I'm now a Commie NAZI.
I haven't read the whole thread, nor where the argument originated but...
You don't have to be a full blown Communist, to be a Marxist. You only have to concede that Marx was correct in his diagnosis and indictment of the 'bourgeoisie'. That Obama is a Marxist shouldn't be of doubt, particularly of the Maoist New Left variety.
He is fully steeped in class struggle theory, and his own books paint him that way. To be fair, so too are most Republicans 'Marxists' in a very broad sense in that the battlefield of diagnosing societal ills and terminology has been conceded. This is part of being in the political culture though, while Obama is actually a willing adherent and proponent of these ideas. The American 'right-wing' are Marxists in the same way that all of the Fascists and Liberals in Eastern Europe became Communists. By losing.
Also, anyone dumbass 'Liberal' or Progressive that is juxtaposing Communism and Fascism are idiots, as the Communists were Fascists. Marx was an active proponent of a ruling intellectual aristocracy that did not derive its power from the consent of the governed. Like the Fascists he was an advocate of an autocracy. Every government that formed based on the teachings of Marx formed an autocracy of one variety or another. People like Stalin fully cribbed Fascists autocracy and posited that collectivism had to appeal to emotion (ie Russian Patriotism) and to have a charismatic leader as well. Mussolini could arguably called the first Stalinist.
Some prominent political philosophers like Mikhail Bakunin that shared intellectual common ground with Marx (Bakunin being a collectivist anarchist), vehemently disagreed with Marx's totalitarian bent. They were contemporaries and a lot of respect flowed both ways, however Marx still had Bakunin thrown out of the First International lest he 'poison' the movement by denouncing the Fascistic autocracy inherent in his philosophy.
I'm not sold on Obama being a full blown Communist, however that isn't necessary to indict him as one, as we have plenty of 'little C' communists as Ayers put it. You don't need to be in lock step with Marx in developing the 'solution', you just need to agree with his diagnosis of what is ailing the world essentially meaning any solution to a problem will be a misdiagnosis from the outset. I expect a lot of political malpractice coming from Washington in the next four years.

This loser hit a dog so hard once he broke its leg.
And he has on at least two occasions, "playfully" wrestled with his teenage nephew until he hurt him so badly he made him cry.No, this bully is not getting a chance to be around a child he doesn't want. What if Chase started to cry?
Um, if he is established as the father throught a court of law, he WILL pay child support. Even if he's unemployed, the court will impute an income to him and order him to pay based on that.

I know what she's going through. The X demanded I get an abortion.
So do I...
First born had facial deformity.
Second born, multiple internal/external deformities. Died.
Third pregnancy, ex demanded abortion... said all was my fault, my genes!
I refused... had a beautiful "all-there" baby girl. These are my treasures!
Divorce. Good riddance.

People may regret mistakes, but they're a learning experience. I guess I could say I have regrets, but I learned something from them. So what is regretful about that?
As much as I have regrets about doing stupid stuff in my life, if I hadn't done it I would not be who and what I am.
I could be an even BIGGER jerk and asshole! ;)

I remember suffering for months after a breakup...what a total waste of time
I had regrets and doubts about the divorce my ex shoved down my throat, but I got over when she asked for me back and started up her "It's all YOUR fault!" routine within 3 hours. She asked for me back a second time and I went back and it started up in 15 minutes. The third time I told her to contact by ass.

re: #1519 avanti
Well, after reading that, I'm more confused then ever, I'll need to absorb it when I'm not so tired, but I'm pretty sure I'm just a leftie. Night all, need to get some work done in the A.M.
In the realm of American politics I'm pretty sure we are all 'lefties' (except for out and out reactionaries, but they are mostly irrelevant for the time being).
I don't think all of us are Marxists though; in the sense that we knowingly agree with the philosophy having fully submersed ourselves in it. I'm sure there are probably a lot of posters on LGF (and communities that are much further 'right') that are Marxist however, by way of being fully steeped in its assumptions from age five through grad school.
Even McCarthy, Nixon, Reagan et al that were virulently anti-Communist still wrapped all of their criticism in the language of Marxism. Many 'anti-Communists' today posit that Fischer-Friedman free market Capitalism is a better method of empowering individuals and eroding class boundaries and as such making the world a better place. While it may be true, none seem to argue that Marx's assumptions that classism is the 'root of all evil' is objectively untrue. Few also seem to very strongly argue that a government's rightful role isn't to strive for a Utopian ideal at the expense of all else. That the role of a government isn't to "make windows into men's souls" as Elizabeth I put it.
Recently 'right-wingers' in the West have been pushing the concept of a 'culture war', that while still putting the onus of social upheaval on something other than the unjust nature of the flow of capital, still comes off sounding a lot like class warfare to me.
See this anti-Communist cartoon from America's glorious past for a good example of what I'm talking about...
What the "Capitalistic System" has given us? True or not about the positives of the free market I'm not sure that James Madison would have said that we have a "Capitalistic System", or that it was the end cause of our prosperity rather than our Liberal idealism and striving for a more moral culture. Of course, those ideas were pretty popular before the late 19th/early 20th century. After WWI, all is Das Kapital.
As an outsider to the situation put it in 'Democracy in America', "America is great because Americans are good." That certainly isn't the message of that cartoon, and that kind of appeal to something other than the philosophies of Marx, to either endorse or rebut, is shockingly rare in political discourse in the present day.

re: #1169 avanti
Late response. Had errand.
You were called a commie by some of us? Horrors. That should not happen here without clear evidence of such.
The fact is that Ayers & Dohrn were self-declared commies. Orally and in print. They and hundreds of their SDS/WUO/May19 Coalition associates went to Cuba and other places in the '60s/70's for training by our enemies in such things as propaganda techniques, subversion, weapons and urban gurrilla warfare. Their avowed goal was not merely to end the Vietnam War. They wanted to overthrow the USA and the capitalist western democracies. It seems they still do. They hate AmericKKKa. WUO's preferred spelling happens to match Rev Wright's. A formalized declaration of war in 1970 was a clue. Want to hear it?
Ayers was far more to Obama than a guy in the neighborhood, and Dohrn was likely more to Michelle than just a co-worker at a law firm, where Barry and Michelle met.
Obama idolized Malcolm-X, who had ample reason to hate whites.
Obama's teenage mentor, "Frank" was a commie who hated America.
Obama's first public speech was about apartheid in S Africa.
Obama's pastor of 20+ years preached hatred of (white) AmeriKKKa.
Obama's supporter Father Pfleger is tight with Obama's church.
Obama's supporter Farrakhan has spent a lifetime demonizing whites and America, and got a lifetime achievement award from Obama's church.
Obama's wife Michelle tells us our souls are broken, and that, as a black man, it's not safe for her hubby to go to a gas station.
See a pattern?

Guys, All the links in the world won't tell me how the guy will govern, just how you "Think" he will govern. I'm going to give him a chance, it's that simple I can not predict the future.
Look into the Global Poverty Act - supported by BHO as a US Senator. And his recent appointment of Browner for Global Warming/Climate Czar.
An impeachment scenario is unlikely, given the composition of Congress.

gonecamping Wed, Jan 28, 2009 5:08:22am |
Has Obama been playing Heretic II? An older Id computer game, it has an elfin looking hero travelling through it's world on a quest. While battling various monsters and bad guys, it can obtain weapons and spells. One of the spells the 'Heretic' can obtain is the morphing egg...you throw the egg at your enemy and he/it turns into a chicken (easier dispatched than a fire throwing monster).
Perhaps Obama plans on using his power egg to vanquish his foes (starting with conservative radio).
I've never heard of the so called power egg, but I'm not surprized that Obama would embrace a 'foreign culture' icon instead of anything American.
This is gonna be a long 4 years!
