The Birmingham News ^ | 12/3/08 | Tom Gordon

Barack Obama's election as president has generated a number of firsts. The latest may be the creation of a paid holiday in his honor in an Alabama Black Belt county.

At its most recent meeting, the Perry County Commission voted 4-1 to declare the second Monday in November "The Barack Obama Day."

Commissioner Albert Turner Jr., who sponsored the resolution, said flags would be flown on the day and county offices would be closed. He said he hopes county schools also will decide to observe the holiday.

Kwanzaa is a celebration that has its roots in the black nationalist movement of the 1960s...

Okay, if you say so, but the pissant that created it is a convicted felon with a propensity to place the big toes of women in vises.

He is also the poster boy for Affirmative Action, since he was "awarded" several doctorates, based upon the fact that he showed up at the right time and place, dressed as a..., uh, Christmas tree, I think.

Kwanzaa is bullcrap, but hey, if someone wants to worship the foreleg of a cockroach, it's okay with me.

Just call it what it is and don't force it on me.

“Kwanzaa is bullcrap”

It also uses maize (i.e., native American CORN) in its “African” rituals...

Pigmass.

“Commissioner Albert Turner Jr., who sponsored the resolution, said flags would be flown on the day and county offices would be closed. He said he hopes county schools also will decide to observe the holiday.”

Well good news for the kids if they do but this is appalling. I wonder if a reporter will ever ask hin “Hey Mr. President what do you think of the sycophantic hero worship and deification”?

Chistmabama, Felice Obama, Merry Barackness...Ick!

I’ve already heard “Obamalot”, as if. At least those who voted for JFK had an average of a junior high education. This pack of slavering PC idiots merely took marching orders without a thought in their little pointy heads beyond he would assuage their “white guilt”.

Hence the majority of Americans get the government they deserve while those of us deserving better get the barrack:

“What community activist
Is a sex machine to the stupid chicks?
(Barrack!)
Opposite of right

Who is the man
Risks his brother’s neck for a master plan?
(Barrack!)
Can ya dig it?

Who’s the creep who’ll always doubt
What the Constitution’s all about
(Barrack!)
“Left” on

You see this Barrack is a bad mother—
(Shut your mouth!)
Just talkin’ about Barrack
(Then we can rig it)

He’s a complicated man
No one literally beats him but his woman
(Barrack Obama)”
