I guess a name associated with polygamy is ok?
Jefferson strove all his life to get rid of slavery, but he couldn’t get the southern states to agree with his plans, and so he shelved them as a temporary expedient in order to preserve the union.
He saw the balkanization of the US into different countries as the greater evil.
But he also warned that if the slavery issue was not addressed, his generation would be the murderers of their sons and grandsons, because eventually in their day the conflict over slavery would become violent.
And he was right.
They’ll start going after Washington, as well.
The Obama dinner!
Lip-smacking eye-rolling good
Pass the ribs
the event has been given new names by several states that were concerned it would be associated with slave owners.
The Colorado Democratic Party
Why are they allowing the Democrat Party name then??
Last time I checked the Democrat Party was the party of slavery and segregation.
Democrats distancing themselves from ‘slave holders’... That’s rich. Considering pretty much ever democrat south of the Mason-Dixon line (and a lot of Democrats above it as well) vote Democrat to this day because Lincoln was a Republican.
Just trading one plantation for another.

Does anyone think that all these Obama named events/buildings will stick if all the corruption EVER comes out? Thanks, Republicans! You want to pretend that the protection of reverence for the Presidency (no matter WHO ever held the office) is more important than prosecuting the crimes of the previous Admin. The common man/woman is losing faith in our Government because they see the crimes being swiped away and criminals not being held accountable. Why should the ordinary people of this country obey the Laws when they see our ‘Leaders’ can get away with their crimes?
{Uh, oh, Marie Barf just surfaced again on Fox and Friends.....time to turn off the TV.}
They could have just said it was meant to honor George Jefferson and Jesse Jackson...
The democraps name their dinner for an enemy islamist.
islam would throw him off of a building were he not so useful to it.
Need to update with the times to keep the new generations interested.
Instead of honoring a couple old guys from a period where Ds claim everyone
- accepted slave ownership
- expected blacks to do the bidening of wealthy whites
- made no effort to help blacks get out of horrible situations. no need since masters take care of the slaves needs
they know want to honor a new couple who
- accept that wealthy masters should control blacks
- expect blacks to do the biding of (vote for) wealthy elites (progress in that elites can now be black)
- make little/no effort to help blacks get out of their horrible situation (crime, poverty, poor education). No need since the elites provide everything “their blacks” need to live
And you're not ashamed of that, just a little bit?
You should be.
That's about right - lies and fakes from start to finish, and beyond.
Baracky needs to tighten up Sheila Jackson Lee’s @$$ and demand she remove those two “evil” last names. Come on Barry, get with the program!
I like it!
The menu should be everything that Michelle tried to force the school kids to eat.
Is Moochelle going to make them eat one of her tasty school lunches at this dinner??
Hooray! Hooray for diversity...
How long before they realize they were scammed?
The Obamas did very little for the nation or blacks or Colorado, but Muchie sure enjoyed those many high-dollar vacations.
