Obama Issues Statement Praising Fake Holiday Concocted By A Violent Felon And Black Supremacist That Liberals Love To Pretend Is Real…
Just because Kwanzaa was made up by a racist black nationalist who was convicted of torturing two women who were part of his group “United Slaves,” because he thought they were hiding nonexistent “crystals” of poison meant to kill him, doesn’t mean it’s not a legitimate holiday, right? Or how about the fact that actual Africans have never heard of Kwanzaa? I could go on and on but I’m preaching to the choir.
Statement by the President and First Lady on Kwanzaa — WhiteHouse.gov
Michelle and I send our warmest wishes to all those celebrating Kwanzaa this holiday season. Today marks the beginning of the week-long celebration honoring African American heritage and culture through the seven principles of Kwanzaa — unity, self determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith.
We celebrate Kwanzaa at a time when many African Americans and all Americans reflect on our many blessings and memories over the past year and our aspirations for the year to come. And even as there is much to be thankful for, we know that there are still too many Americans going through enormous challenges and trying to make ends meet. But we also know that in the spirit of unity, or Umoja, we can overcome those challenges together.
As families across America and around the world light the red, black, and green candles of the Kinara this week, our family sends our well wishes and blessings for a happy and healthy new year.

Yeah, I’m sure this is all they’re talking about in the Far East right now.
One cannot properly celebrate ‘Quanza” unless they are wearing a government approved ‘tin foil hat’.
Kwanza??? I thought that was an African dish of flattened bananas grilled on a hot rock.
“Kwanzaa” is a big fat bundle of Rev. Wright-style Marxism wrapped up in a cheap-shit dashiki printed in Maoist China. It is a “harvest festival” that takes place at a time when nobody celebrates a harvest; it has a fake menorah to rip off Chanukah.
Kind of like Cinco de Mayo (or, as obama says, Cinco de quatro), not a holiday until it was made up by the beer company. At least there was a battle that day.

“We celebrate Kwanzaa at a time when many African Americans and all Americans …”. Huh????

Just let the dog out before she goes in the kennel for the night; she had to take a Kwanzaa.
Love the title of that book. I’ve been asking myself that same question for years. Somehow, I have a sneaking suspicion, so have the Africans.
Kwanzaa, which will be celebrated for the 46th time in 2011, was established by Dr. Maulana Karenga. The seven-day festival (December 26 – January 1) is secular, not religious, and aims to strengthen African cultural identity and community values while providing a spiritual alternative to the commercialism of Christmas.

By my estimation this holiday is pitch perfect for Barry. A fraud, riddled with criminality and bent history. Full of magical marxism.

What the fuck kind of “advisors” do they have?!?
Patriot Lady, it’s Nation of Islam _ Black Muslim, racist marxism in Islamic rhetoric. Maulana Karenga:

Um, you do know Christmas is a made-up holiday, right? Pope Julius I appropriated the pagan Yule traditions – Solstice, Saturnalia, etc. – by adopting Dec. 25th as the birthday of Jesus. So if your argument is that made-up holidays are silly, well, you should at least be consistent.

you don’t say..
Kwanzaa is Not a racist socialist construct. Who ya gonna believe:
…
or your lyin’ eyes?
off oppressive Roman sock!
The Frauds celebrate a fraudulent holiday, and openly denigrate an authentic, historic holiday (Hanukkah – a “great excuse” for the Frauds to have a party).
BTW – red, black, and green are the colors of:
- The “Palestinian” flag
- The Black Panther flag
So that’s what the xmas eve tennis shoe battles were about,kwanzaa gifts?
Well Soopercali i think Jesus was actually born and a winter solstice would have been a better time than harvest/winter preparations to celebrate his birth.And by combining multiple celebrations the Pope was honoring multiple beliefs/religions .
When was kwanzie born? And why is it a segregated celebration of…………….? ignored ideals and morals ? What religion is it? Who does it honor ? Why is it based on race if black people hate segregation and racism ?

True. Should also be celebrated in a Quanset Hut…
with White Port & Lemon Juice
Kwanzaa — what a bunch of happy horse shite.
My (white) sister and I thought it was such a scream that one year I bought Kwanzaa wrapping paper (after Christmas, of course — BIG discount) and the joke is that her gifts get wrapped in it every year. That damn roll must’ve been massive. It never ends!
Okay, I was giving y’all the benefit of the doubt because ignorance can be fixed with facts. Bigotry? Not so easy.
Funny thing to happen some liberal ask a black person if they had a happy kwanza celebration the black person says WHAT KWANZA,I CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS
We should have picked our own cotton. Damn it!
Funny thing is I went to a great public, 50-white 40-black 10-puerto rican grade school back in the 60s. No forced busing, everybody walked to school. And as kids, we had no problems with each other. Before, during and after school. Truly, there were no problems between us.
I remember one black kid was Nation of Islam. And he brought in pictures of his alternate Christmas celebration at home. And another wore his sparkly daishiki in to school and gave a report on Kwanzaa. And none of us kids thought much about either even though this was during race riots in our own city and others across the country.
As a group we figured hey, any reason mom and dad wanted to give us presents was a good one.
And that was the key point. EVERY one of us had a stay-at-home mom AND a working dad. You could tell some kids across race lines were hard up and probably on some sort of assistance. But every one had a mom AND working dad at home.
And if any one of us acted up at school we’d get it double from mom AND dad when they found out. And dad in particular sure as hell didn’t want to hear any shit when he got home from work, in ALL our houses. So we didn’t cause any trouble.
All the made up or alternate Christmas-time celebrations in the world can’t make up for having a mom AND working dad at home when you’re growing up.

easy for you to say tho.. you’re probably not cursed with Caucasianism
“aims to strengthen African cultural identity and community values…”
So, how’d a celebration to strengthen White cultural identity go over, you think?
.
osama obama says kawansa is a new african islamo moslim holiday, so being true to his moslim faith, he must bow down and worship it with his moslim brotherhood buddies.
The only thing you can be sure of Obama will talk it up with his kids like the felon was his best friend, give some make believe story about Kenya, and short them on presents.
That nobody cares about the entire legerdemain surrounding Kwanzaa should tell you something: In American society, we are supposed to allow for some wiggle room regarding value judgements of anything about ancestors of slaves.
The facts of life dictate that every person is responsible for the conditions of life; some are ignorant of or resist the facts of life and we ought not be required to suffer their shortcomings.
Maulana Karenga.
This is what racism does–makes those who want to find an excuse to blanket their racism in something that seems ” noble”…yet they are so desperate to separate themselves from what they perceive as the white man’s holiday ( Christmas-and Christianity being “the white man’s religion) they fall for liars and com men who promote racism…and it makes them feel good about themselves

I’ll take this a step further… I lost my father in 1957, (heart attack), and yet my now single mom made sure that I finished high school all with out any public assistance other than SS survivor’s benefits and working full time.
Values were different then for the most part and that, “You owe me mentality,” was conspicuously absent from the big picture.
@ Soopercali: Your “history” as too many errors for me to correct here. I will however point out that by the time of Julius I’s death in 352, the date of Christmas had not yet been firmly established, even in Rome. The celebration of the Nativity, however, stretches back to at least 200 AD, possibly farther.
@Debbie: If Pope Julius I actually issued such a proclamation, which is highly doubtful when considering the above, he certainly did not “respect” other religions by choosing December 25th. Those holidays mentioned by Soopercali were not even celebrated on December 25th…they were completed before then. If anything, the date was used because December 25th was, in 270 AD, proclaimed as the Natalis Invicti (or Natalis Sol Invicti): Birth of the Invincible Sun. Judeo-Christian tradition has a long tendency to link God, the Messiah, and Christ with the sun, so using a date so associated with the sun (at least by 354, the earliest confirmed year Christmas was celebrated on Dec. 25th in Rome) was most fitting.
Kwanza=Festivus
Kwanzaa is the BIGGEST insult to the blacks since slavery.
And any of then who buy into this crap are proving that they have zero self-respect and even less intelligence.
“The only people who celebrate Kwanzaa are Liberal White teachers”…. not sure where I read this, but it’s true.
Obama panders to liberal white teachers
Come on Barry, pics or it didn’t happen. Lets see you the Squatch and the progeny decked out in your finest dashikkis.
Mrteachersir, how do you get “too many errors to count” out of one short sentence? I do believe you are blowing smoke out your butt. Everything I said is true, and if you had any integrity, you’d admit it. Show me ANY respectable source who says anything other than what I said – namely, that the Christian church simply took over the pagan celebrations to create Christmas.
*gag
Actually, Christmas is a ‘made up’ holiday too. In fact, it was illegal in the American colonies to celebrate Christmas because it was actually a pagan holiday co-opted by Christianity. It wasn’t until the 19th Century when Washington Irving is credited with reinventing Christmas.
http://www.thehistoryofchristmas.com/ch/in_america.htm
@Woooooo!!!!
I call BS bro
‘Kwanzaa is a celebration that has its roots in the black nationalist movement of the 1960s, and was established in 1966 as a means to help African Americans reconnect with their African cultural and historical heritage by uniting in meditation and study of African traditions and Nguzu Saba, the “seven principles of African Heritage” which Karenga said “is a communitarian African philosophy”.
During the early years of Kwanzaa, Karenga said that it was meant to be an alternative to Christmas, that Jesus was psychotic, and that Christianity was a white religion that black people should shun.’
So you’re telling me that a made up holiday in 1966 in california that targeted Black Liberation / Panthers was mainstream by the time you were in grade school in 1969?
I Don’t Think so,
Make up another story though, let’s see how that plays
What invented festival?! Kwanzaa is the ancient and authentic principal holiday of the ancient and authentic Arab-speaking Palestinian people. The authenticity of both has been established beyond doubt (ask the mainstream media). /sarc
I find the similarities between Kwanzaa and the faux-Palestinian Arab “nation” so uncanny. Both are fictions cooked up in the 1960s from scratch to serve a nefarious political purpose. Both have the same kind of historical evidence to back them up—none at all.
Kwanzaa has been in full swing for two days now.
There was sneaker-related violence in multiple Opening Day Kwanzaa celebrations around the cities.
And yesterday, the was a Kwanzza festival at the Mall of America.

@Soupercali
See tadcf above, if you want to be as inclusively intellectual as you condescendingly ‘encourage’ the rest of us to be.
I’ll take his story over your made up facts. the teacher was MUCH closer than you and your little threads of progressive propaganda coursing through the fabric of your post. You don’t realize how EASY it is to spot.
You sound like a poster on Powerline, also very young and trusting of the propaganda their marxist professors spoon fed them in between bong hits.
Bottom line honey, you are defending a made up holiday that was made up by a Black Liberation Theologist pervert in 1966 and trying to convince the Posters on WZ that kwanza is somehow equivalent with a real religious holiday (whatever the actual history, my apologies tadcf and mrteacher) that has its roots in the teachings of Christianity (let’s NOT argue at this time please tadcf about whether or not it is the birth of Jesus, I didn’t celebrate Xmas for the same reasons outlined in your link, that is not the point)
Is Simply Silly, No Matter what obongo says
and being sickened and disdainful of obongo and his administration does not translate into ‘racism’
Nice Try though
I love how ‘actual’ Africans have never heard of this phony ‘ancient traditional’ ersatz bull shit.
Kwanza: another racist marxist commie scheme.
The shame is to perpetrate this sort of nonsense. To give it a legitimate place in our schools and try to pass it off as history. Any reason to party and skip work is legitimate according to the dumbed down in charge.
It could be a celebration to prove black racism flourishes.

There are two sets of standards.
One, for you and me, and one for those who for various reasons, are given a pass on partaking in uncivilized behavior.
Kwanzaa is the celebration of their culture.
They are only doing what comes naturally.
This b.s. was printed in the NH Union Leader: Kwanzaa comes from the Swahili for “first fruits.”
That once great paper has sunken so low in recent years that only in contrast of the completing Boston Globe is it readable.
Lets put on our Air Jordans and celebrate kwanzaa! Such a bunch of crap!
I like my wall calendar. Not only does it feature cute kittens, on Dec. 26, it only references Boxing Day, not Kwanzaa.
P.S. I’m American, and I do not celebrate Kwanzaa.
Does this mean that Santa is really black…..??
What is the traditional Kwanzaa day meal?? A Bucket of KFC, a 40 ouncer of malt liquor and a blunt?
The communities in Chitcago celebrate Kwaanza by waiting in line to buy Air Jordans and then beating people up just for the hell of it.

Your leading sentence is preposterous on its face as you’ve “corrected” the one and only point Soopercali made. I’m sure I’ve lost you now.
Shame on all of you . Kwaanza is every bit meaningful a holiday as Festivus.

Noblahblah, Gotta go back to those days and read the diaries, wills, and real documents, not knee-jerk off of today’s PC-history. Some in my family originally settled in Virginia and did so through Indian massacres and without slavery at first. With hard work, land purchases and wealth were acquired. Anyone with land going beyond subsistence ‘homesteading’ either owned slaves or were in the process to acquire them. Some land is still in the family. DAMN PROUD ….make no mistake.

yeah, I think it’s kinda regional.. like what ya got right there is traditional Kwanzaa fare in like parts of the mid-west and into some of the South..
but like you go over to say Louisiana and you start getting your Kwanzaa rice n beans and White Port & Lemon Juice..
and back in the day on the cell-block at Chino, the founders only had tomato-jack {ketchup, sugar, water and yeast-bread, fermented ~3-4 days} and a few crackers.. but it was pure Kwanzaa
Maybe the holiday will keep the chimps from chimping out on each other over a pair of fucking sneakers……..
yes, just like Festivus:

I’ve noticed this year that the “Multicultural Association” has not badgered our local broadcast TV stations into running PSAs for this homemade “black but equal” celebration/party.
I was reading the comments at a far, FAR leftist website earlier, they were falling all over themselves to get out their Happy Kwanzaa wishes to their fellow idiots. And of course to screech against the idea that it is a made up holiday.

no that’s not racist…

Who killed the phrase “Merry Christmas”?: a schizophrenic felon and Al Sharpton did!
By Coach Collins, on December 27th, 2011
This year those of us who cherish the phrase “Merry Christmas” have started to say “Merry Christ-mas” to reinsert the name Christ into the greeting. Here’s a reminder of how we started to lose “Merry Christmas” 40 years ago.
On the day before Christmas in 1971 the New York Times ran an article about a new “holiday” called Kwanzaa that was invented by an America hating Black separatist named Ron Everett. Everett now uses the made up “African” name Maulana Ron Karenga to show the world he wants nothing to do with White America.
That Mr. Karenga was in a California prison doing a one to ten year stretch for illegally imprisoning and maiming two Black women he thought were plotting to kill him meant nothing to the Times. They didn’t want to talk about how their new hero had been certified as a paranoid schizophrenic by a court, so they didn’t.
Karenga called his new “holiday” Kwanzaa, a Swahili phrase meaning “first fruits” because he says it is a harvest festival. This is a lie. Kwanzaa is Karenga’s answer to Christmas. He would like nothing better than to see Kwanzaa actually become the “Black Christmas” he has always fantasized about.
In his 1977 book on Kwanzaa, Karenga said it “…was chosen to give a Black alternative to the existing holiday and give Blacks an opportunity to celebrate themselves and history, rather than simply imitate the practice of the dominant [White] society.”
Upon hearing of the new “holiday”, a young unknown Al Sharpton commented that Kwanzaa “would perform the valuable service of “de-whitizing” Christmas.”…

We interrupt this demonstration of right wing ignorance to bring you a brief message from the real world. President Bush issued Kwanzaa greetings every year he was in office. Here is the announcement from 2008.
We now return to your regularly scheduled psychotic delusions from chronic haters of the President.

Presidential Message: Kwanzaa 2008
White House News
I send greetings to those observing Kwanzaa.
Kwanzaa is the celebration of African culture, community, and family traditions. For more than 40 years, millions of people have come together to reaffirm Nguzo Saba, the Seven Principles of Kwanzaa. These principles emphasize unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith.
As people across our country gather to commemorate this seven-day celebration, may we all be reminded that Kwanzaa is an opportunity to celebrate the many contributions of our African American citizens.
Laura and I send our best wishes for a joyous Kwanzaa.
GEORGE W. BUSH
while one could make an excellent argument that blind hatred of all things Obama is stupid personified, it behooves someone of your stature? to tell the truth. But then, you don’t know it do you. It turns out the Bush baby, dubya, sent out a similar message all EIGHT of his miserable years as President. Go figure that one your you silly bigots.
The lesson, as always – 99% of right-wing bloggers are demented, ignorant bigots.
Looser Bush sent Out the same Kwanza messages. Right wingers never complained. Guess they are just stupid right wing christian conservative bigots
Obama issues a statement celebrating Kwanza…..right wingers lose their minds with many spewing outright racist garbage, as evidenced by the posts above…..
Bush issues statements celebrating Kwanza for all 8 years he is pres…..nothing but the sound of crickets from the right….
Gee, I wonder what the difference is…..it couldn’t be that a black man is now pres, could it? Nah….just a coincidence, I’m sure….
You do realize that XMAS is a made up holiday, right? It was created by the Church because they did not like the pagan celebration of the winter solstice and thus they felt a Christian celebration was necessary to counteract said pagan rite. So, they created a Christ’s Mass; which became Christmas. Santa Claus/St. Nick was added later; stolen from a Norse tradition.
You don’t read much do you?
@Russ – dead on. Who could *ever* mistake ‘Conservatives’ for Racists. It sure isn’t their fear and dread that drives them.
That’s *some* philosophy you’ve got there, fellas. It’s gonna LOSE you the election in 2012, mostly because people aren’t impressed with ignorance.
George and Laura Bush fell for the “we are pc” crap and sent out kwanzaa greetings. They were morons for doing so.
Doesn’t make KWANZAA any less of a laughable, pathetic hoax.
I see the Obots have Goosestepped forward to defend their messiah.
Dear Obots, I do not begrudge the POS President for his Kwanza message. What I do get pissed about is that he DID NOT give out a Christmas message but he does make sure he gives out messages to his brothers like Muslims and others. So kindly FO.

No, but it does make righties like you laughable and pathetic for your outrage when no one heard a peep out of you during 8 years of bush….
The Seven Principles (Nguzo Saba) of Kwanzaa are:
Umoja (oo-MOH-jah): Unity
Success starts with Unity. Unity of family, community, nation and race.
Kujichagulia (koo-jee-chah-goo-LEE-ah): Self-Determination
To be responsible for ourselves. To create your own destiny.
Ujima (oo-JEE-mah): Collective work and responsibility
To build and maintain your community together. To work together to help one another within your community.
Ujamaa (oo-jah-MAH): Collective economics
To build, maintain, and support our own stores, establishments, and businesses.
Nia (NEE-ah): Purpose
To restore African American people to their traditional greatness. To be responsible to Those Who Came Before (our ancestors) and to Those Who Will Follow (our descendants).
Kuumba (koo-OOM-bah): Creativity
Using creativity and imagination to make your communities better than what you inherited.
Imani (ee-MAH-nee): Faith

By the way “russ” Bush did it is a lame excuse, so try harder.

Something tells me I’ve got a long wait on my hands….
russ, tell you what, see if you can find a signed statement on Christmas here, you know Obamas White House:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-and-releases
Oh wait you can’t. That’s saved for special announcements like Kwanza and Muslim Holidays. Dumb fuck.
Let me know when you right wing morons and wannabe racists are going to bother to remember that George W Bush…you know…the President before Obama also sent out Kwanza messages.
Or do you all refuse to be rational adults so you can live in your trumped up reality built on lies and your eternal victimhood?
When all else fails scream BUSHHHHHHHH!.
Or do you all refuse to be rational adults so you can live in your trumped up reality built on lies and your eternal victimhood?

Kwanzaa: A Holiday From the FBI
By Ann Coulter
”President Bush’s 2005 Kwanzaa message began with the patently absurd statement: “African-Americans and people around the world reflect on African heritage during Kwanzaa.”
I believe more African-Americans spent this season reflecting on the birth of Christ than some phony non-Christian holiday invented a few decades ago by an FBI stooge. Kwanzaa is a holiday for white liberals, not blacks.
Can’t wait to see how you weasel out of this one, snicker……I await your response with bated breath!
i posted absolute disgust a Bush’s contrived, pandering, and false Kwanza msg.
Guess we won’t be seeing snicker back anytime soon lol……what a loser…..I wonder what new name he will post under now….
[I send greetings to those celebrating Kwanzaa.
Kwanzaa celebrates the traditional African values of unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. From December 26th to January 1st, people of African descent gather to renew their commitment to these seven principles, known as Nguzo Saba, and give thanks for the blessings of family, community, and culture. Kwanzaa is also a time for Africans and African-Americans to honor their common heritage by participating in events based on early harvest gatherings called matunda ya kwanza, or first fruits.
As individuals and families join together during Kwanzaa, their joy enriches communities in the United States and across the globe. By uniting people of diverse backgrounds and beliefs, this holiday promotes mutual understanding and respect. These universal principles inspire us as we work together for a future of freedom, hope, and opportunity for all.
Laura joins me in sending our best wishes for a memorable Kwanzaa, and for peace, happiness, and success in the coming year.
GEORGE W. BUSH]
Probably missed the outrage for the 8 years Bush did this. Mindless, duplicitous jerks.
Kwanzaa Is The Ultimate Fraud, Has A Fascist Goal

OMG….George and Laura Bush also issued statements to those who celebrate Kwanzaa.
Kwanzaa is pretty weird because we aren’t educated, ethnocentric blacks. It’s pretty much akin to National Prayer Day in that the latter is to make white, non-denominational Christians happy for the five seconds they allow themselves happiness.
Anyways. Quit frothing at the mouth when you know damned well President Jesus himself (Bush) did this every year he was in office.
Herp! Socialism! Herp! Socialism!
Bush put out his stupid Kwanzaa greetings for the very same reason Obama does: because of the politically contrived identity politics of the country.
Kwanzaa is, by design, an extremely exclusive observance meant to promote a racial separatist agenda… a way to “celebrate” i.e. promote collectivist tripe like ‘collective work and responsibility and cooperative economics.’
Now I ask you- what in the hell is ‘cooperative economics”? For some reason, Air Jordans come to mind…and 4 million dollar vacations to tropical islands…paid for by those who may never see the same shores…
Kwanzaa seems to be more a stab at weird 1960′s academic, collectivist social engineering than anything else.
————————————————————————————-
….President Obama failed to issue either an Easter or a Good Friday greeting to the nation.
Now, let’s forget for a moment that these greetings, which presidents issue on many holidays and commemorations of events, are largely perfunctory and symbolic gestures that nobody cares about.
Until there’s a problem with them.
Fox News first caught the blunder and put it into context that makes the omission insulting to Christians. The mistake is odd enough to call into question just what Obama’s priorities are.
By comparison, the White House has released statements recognizing the observance of major Muslim holidays and released statements in 2010 on Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha.
The White House . . . did release an eight-paragraph statement heralding Earth Day. Likewise, the president’s weekend address mentioned neither Good Friday or Easter.*
Obama, Fox notes, did head out to church yesterday and held an Easter prayer breakfast at the White House last week.
Obama is on a roll for religious holiday greeting screw ups. Fox News writes:
In 2010, Obama was criticized for releasing an all-inclusive Easter greeting. He reached out to Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and people of no faith at all in a statement about a holiday that is uniquely Christian.
And as I noted last week, the president released a Passover greeting this month that compared the ancient Jewish exodus from Egypt to the Arab political awakening this year, which would be a beautiful thing if most Arabs didn’t seek Israel’s destruction.
The president is, of course, hosting the Easter Egg Roll at the White House today. But Easter isn’t really about rolling eggs on a manicured lawn, now is it?
UPDATE: Asked during this afternoon’s briefing about the issue, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney suggested Obama’s “high profile” visit to a church Sunday should suffice.
“I’m not sure if we put out a statement or not, but he obviously personally celebrated Easter with his family,” Carney said, adding ”the president took his family out to church in a very high-profile way.”
Carney added that Obama is a “devoted Christian.”
* Fox News is incorrect. Obama does mention Easter in his weekend address, though he does so only briefly and not as a message or greeting to Christians celebrating the holiday.

Ask people in Africa about Kwanzaa, and they’ll give you a blank stare. Same goes for blacks in the West Indies. Why? Because Kwanzaa is a contrived, fake, bullshiite “holiday” that means nothing and that was founded by a freakin’ felon.
Then again, given the present state of black culture in this country, that’s probably appropriate.
Umoja? WTF is that?
Oh yeah, that’s right, it’s an African ukulele that can also by cannibals as a utensil. We learn so much from our Dear Marxist Radical Leader……..
Will the half black celebrate half the “holiday”?
weasel zippers scouring bowels? you can’t make this stuff up. you guys are funny, not ha ha funny either….
Christmas Versus Ramadan
Just as Easter ranks below Kwanzaa in the estimation of the Manchurian Moonbat, Christmas can’t hold a candle to Ramadan, about which Obama is evidently better informed, and which he obviously takes more seriously:
(video)
Christmas and Ramadan have one thing in common. They both apparently have something to do with Obama being in office as Iraq is left to sink back into savagery.

President George W. Bush issued messages marking the celebration of Kwanzaa each and every year he was in the White House:
2001
2002
2003
2004
2005
2006
2007
2008
*Yawn.* F A Johnson beat me to it. IOKIYAR (It’s Okay If You Are a Republican) Syndrome strikes again.
