Who the heck is St. Olaf?

King and patron saint of Norway, from the 11th century. Helped establish Christianity as the religion of Norway.

I think the "Rev" is actually an abbreviation for REVULSIVE.

Your analysis is spot-on and very well put.

Good catch. By coincidence I was just talking yesterday with someone who mentioned about Jesse James going to Northfield MN.

Well, this Jesse is a shakedown artist in his own right.

Jesse James was absolutely faithful to his wife, so I think he gets some points over Jackson.

Dude, I was just up there speaking last month. Did you come to my talk on "Patriot's History of the U.S.?"

Oh, Im sure the place will be packed, these loony college liberals would go applaud Satan himself if he was bashing conservatives. What really ticks me off is that they use the church as a pulpit for this kind of pilth. Its no wonder that lightning struck down the cross at the beginning of the year.

Unless he goes out there and starts saying "I am the cause for a good portion of the racial divide in the last 20 years" I don't really care what he preaches about.

"If there is any racial strife in this country it is caused by Jackson and his ilk." And all the bleeding heart, guilt ridden "liberals" who need to believe that they are "good" people and not "racists".

Bingo! Exactly right. Who cares anymore? Who's got the time or the inclination and energy to go out to oppress "the brothers". People have jobs (sometimes 2 jobs), bills and families to deal with.

Not to down St. Olaf (I live in Mpls.), but look at it this way, Jackson has lost alot of his 'audience'. He now has to make appearances at small town colleges.

Remind Jesse' that POOR PEOPLE (who were on display in NO) have POOR HABITS.....and those POOR HABITS are what he and the Democratic Party want them to KEEP practicing....so they can keep them on their "Plantation."

I know exactly what's going here. St. Olaf has been recruiting football players from Florida. St. John's pasted them 63-9 on Saturday. Jesse is up there to cry foul since the brothers got clubbed.
