African religion? That’s a new one. I guess progressive liberals are into inventing new religions now, since that whole atheism thing isn’t really catching on that well. Watch the following video as some white trash progressive approaches a conservative, tea party supporting black man at the Restoring Honor Rally in Washington. A discussion takes place, leading the progressive to eventually ask the black man, “What happened to your African religion?”
WTH? Your “African religion?” What is that? I find it phenomenal that I had not seen this yet, nor did I hear about it after the rally (considering I was there). But then again, the rally was so huge it’s not so surprising. Kudos to these young black patriots. They are my brothers and sisters, and I embrace them all with the love and emotion I felt from everyone else last Saturday at the Lincoln Memorial for the “Restoring Honor Rally.” What a great day!
By the way, I encourage all of you to visit the Marooned in Marin blog. They have some FANTASTIC photos and videos of both the 8.28 Rally as well as the opposition “rally” (if you can call it that). Check ‘em out here.
I had such a great time, and working on uploading/editing my photos and videos from the weekend. I hope all my new friends will feel the same as I, and know that we are all part of something that is larger than ourselves.
God bless the U.S.A.
UPDATE 9/1/10: Here’s a fantastic slideshow, courtesy of the boyz over at HillBuzz:
Hey, folks, it’s been a grueling 24 hours so far, but there’s much more ahead. I’m on bloggers’ row for the conference, and hopefully I’ll be able to snag a couple of interview later today. Scheduled speakers for this conference include:
Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, Author and Fox News Contributor Dick Morris, Radio Host and Conservative Commentator Herman Cain, the Wall Street Journal’s Stephen Moore and John Fund, and AFPF’s President Tim Phillips.
George Will will deliver the Keynote Address, and many more exciting events are planned for the evening. Stay tuned!
UPDATE #1 3:11 PM: Just got back from our GA delegation lunch, at which we were blessed to have Herman Cain come in and say a few words. Tim Phillips (President of Americans for Prosperity), Virginia Galloway (GA State Director), AFP Founder David Koch, and Joel Aron Foster (GA Grassroots Coordinator) all participated in the address, as well. Best news of all? A hint from Herman Cain that he is seriously considering a run for President in 2012! Wow!
After the lunch break, we all attended the first Opening Session and Kick-Off Spears, which included:
Governor Bob McDonnell of Virginia
Dick Morris, author and Fox News contributor
Herman Cain (the “Hermanator”)
Tim Phillips, President of AFP
Phil Kerpen, Vice President of AFP, and
Dallas Woodhouse, Director of NC AFP chapter
President Obama and his left wing allies are back to accusing Americans for Prosperity and the 1.2 million grassroots activists of being a “foreign-controlled corporation” or a front for “big banks” or “big oil.” AFP reveals the special interest behind Obama’s agenda and how the network of activists are working to combat it.
Does Obama even hear the stuff that comes out of his mouth? Sheesh! There are no true patriots on the left; that’s why they distrust AFP, the Tea Party and 9/12ers so much. They can’t believe that a group of people would actually do something out of passion and with deeply-held conviction. It’s a foreign thing to them.
Last night, Gary Sinise was on to promote the Building Homes for Heroes program, which is now focused on building a house for SPC Brendan Marrocco, the first quadruple amputee to survive. His home will be built on Staten Island.
This is a non-partisan issue, and you cannot deny that organizations like this and folks like Gary Sinise are the true American heroes for helping those among us who gave the most of themselves during times of war. Please visit their website to check out the programs and see if there’s a way you can help out.
Gary and his “Lt. Dan Band” are going to play a benefit concert this weekend on Saturday at the St. George Theatre in Staten Island at 8PM. If you want to attend, here’s the information:
Tickets available through the Box Office at the
St.George Theatre (718) 442-2900
Staten Island, NY
or visit here for information.
Please help these heroes help the military heroes who have sacrificed so much for us. God bless our troops, and American heroes like Gary Sinise.
Hi… please forgive the appearance of my site. I have a tag somewhere in the code that is wreaking havoc, and until I can find it, my site is all caddywampus on me. Please bear with me as I work to correct it.
Listen…I’m no fan of Obama, and like Mark Levin, I’d vote for a can of orange juice before I’d vote for Obama in 2012. Somewhere along the way, just because our president is black, videos like this are becoming more mainstream and more acceptable on YouTube and other sites, and it should not be.
This is tastleless to the n’th degree, but if it’s okay for black people to do this, how is anything ANY of the Republican candidates do remotely deemed racist at all?
If this country ever truly wants to progress and become a more civilized nation, why is trash like this even tolerated? I’m not asking for this garbage to be censored, but I’d love to see at least SOME condemnation of things like this to be more prevalent. Can we please all agree this is unacceptable in a civilized world? You cannot condemn one group of people for being allegedly “racist” while simultaneously approving of another group of people for creating videos such as this, villifying a single race of people in the process of glorifying the creators of these videos? One need only search certain terms on YouTube to find thousands of videos like this one. And they’re all equally disgusting.
What say you, Eugene Robinson, Goldie Taylor, Donna Brazile, Marc Lamont Hill, etc., etc.? I’m waiting for you all to openly condemn videos like this on YouTube. If you don’t, then I have no reason to listen to your small and petty complaints of racism from Fox News, Republicans as a whole, and GOP candidates in the 2012 primary. Your silence about videos like this are tacit approval of them.
As is said in many places, “hilarity ensues” (h/t Mediaite):
Frances Martel does a fabulous write-up about it, and I couldn’t have said it any better, so here it is direct from the Mediaite post:
“Are you offended?” O’Reilly asked Harpootlian, who replied that he was not, but that he found the fact that Republicans had “no outreach to African Americans” a problem “in a state where we have an African-American Republican Congressman.” “Adding insult to injury, this debate ignoring Martin Luther King’s birthday!” he added, which made O’Reilly ask who was ignoring the debate and why. The Republicans, Harpootlian replied, because “no one has raised any issue with Fox about it being appropriate or inappropriate.”
O’Reilly then asked whether there was a reason for this– namely, something that happened in 2008. Harpootlian did not remember what happened in 2008 (a Democratic primary debate on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day) and who sponsored it (the Congressional Black Caucus), which prompted several awkward seconds where Harpootlian was obviously caught flat-footed. With this development, O’Reilly then told him that, “by injecting race into this, you do a disservice.” Harpootlian finally replied, blaming Republicans for injecting race into the matter by calling this “the most important election since 1860.” “We in the South have a little different version of that election,” he noted, suggesting that talking to Southerners in such a way was a sort of dog whistle. O’Reilly disagreed and just asked Harpootlian to give it up, adding, “you’re getting killed here!”
Today on Neil Cavuto, radio talk show host and constitutional scholar, Mark Levin was on to discuss his new book, “Ameritopia.”
Levin’s previous book, “Liberty and Tyranny” was a best-seller, as was another book before that titled, “Men in Black.” “Liberty and Tyranny” is a must-read for anybody who wants to know how we got to the point where we are in America today.
I’ve been stewing on this and stewing on this figuring out the right way to convey how I feel about it, and I’ve been struggling with just the right words to describe my sentiment. I read a fabulous screed by Deebow over at BlackFive, but it wasn’t until I saw the headline in a Weekly Standard piece today that quoted Lt. Col. Allen West (R-FL) on this matter. I couldn’t have said it better myself:
‘Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell’
Yes, you got that right. Congressman West has weighed in on this flap over the Marines taking a piss on dead Taliban terrorists, sending an email to the Weekly Standard, who got his permission to print what he said. Here’s a portion of his commentary:
“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?
“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.
“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”
I’m not even quite sure that what the Marines did was wrong, but since when in the hell did we become so indignant and self-righteously outraged about treating killers like they deserve to be treated? Sure, they probably shouldn’t have videotaped what they did, but who the hell cares? And don’t give me this “don’t stoop to their level” B.S. either. Until you have been in the shoes of our warriors, or our first responders (cops, firefighters, etc.), or, heck, even ever been a crime victim yourself, you have no idea what you would do, given the same circumstances.
