Actually, it’s not my little joke. It’s a Lutheran joke, in fact. I’m surprised you don’t know about it. I learned, upon marriage to a Lutheran, that no group of people can prepare jello in a more creative way than a Lutheran wife. It is a fixture on any pot luck line, as you probably know.

They wrote a book about it:

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?r=1&ISBN=9780976787501&ourl=If%2DThere%2DWere%2DNo%2DLutherans%2DWould%2DThere%2DStill%2DBe%2DGreen%2DJell%2Do%2FSteve%2DMolin&cm_mmc=yahoossp-_-plp-_-books2-_-If-There-Were-No-Lutherans-Would-There-Still-Be-Green-Jell-o-9780976787501

If you need more proof, just Google “Jello and Lutherans” You’ll get about 30,000 results.

Happy New Year

>And the ELCA relatives STILL think this was some sort of noble mission. My son talks to family up there (still much family there, to this day) and they continue telling him how wildly successful this has been. They even suggest that Cleveland try it. (!)<

The immigrants that came to my area made the local paper because their children would huddle in the classroom corner to defecate. They had no idea how to use a toilet.

Yes, let’s bring primitive peoples to American communities, people who are so backward they have no concept of modern sanitary practices.

They came here too, one positive was the number of cats in the neighborhood went into rapid decline.

Then there is Lewiston or wherever and the wierdly dressed folks who seem to work all over. Creepy man, creepy as heck.

The Missus and I have done the summer in Maine thing for twenty years and in the I hope very distant future,will make our last trip in an urn to a place in the northwoods.

This is what is referred to as “celebrating diversity”.

“It is inhabited (for the most part) by good people with solid values and a solid work ethic.”

That makes some people unhappy and they want to change it.

And yet our State Department in the name of “Diversity” continues to import these people into our country.

I am truly frightened for my children and their future as Americans. I am also mad as hell to see what is happening right before my very eyes and I am only 46. The downward spiral has accelerated to warp speed in recent years.

I remember when I was a kid, my friends and I used to do opposite day, now I live it and it is not a game.

A video regarding the meeting between school officials and parents. Apparently several parents were also complaining the Somali’s had preferential treatment.

This comment was very telling as well...

I am a Senior at the OHS. And I would just like to say a few things. 1. I think it is bull crap that the school is saying they are doing something about this when we all know they are not. They let the Somali students get away with everything. A few examples: They are allowed to wear there hats and we are not. They are allowed to get out of class early to go pray and we are not. We are not even allowed to talk about God in class. They are allowed to speak there language and the Mexicans can't speak Spanish. When we have pork for lunch they are made special foods because they can't eat that stuff. Well guess what thats just to damn bad. I have been raised to know that everyone bleeds red we are all the same. I don't care if you are yellow green white or purple. You bleed red just like the rest of us. I don't think it is fair that they get what they want because if we don't give it to them they think we are being racist. That's not it...If they don't like how things are going here leave. We all wouldn't mind. Im glad the student had the guts to write that paper. They need to be told what to do and how to do it. You come to our country you should obey our rules. And it's not just the school.. I mean they get there own buildings to go pray in. They are given free houses and cars and cell phones and jobs. Its not fair. Our world is turning to hell. Am i being racist. No. But I am being realistic. The school should have known a long time ago that things like this were going to happen. You can't treat one group of kids different then the rest. That right there is terrible. I don't want Don Johnson to say he is doing everything he can to keep the student safe when he is not!. You want to keep us safe? Here is an idea.. why don't you give all the kids the same rights. We took our a class in the OHS just to give the Somalis a room to pray..how do we know they are even praying. For all we known they could be planing something. Just like anyone else who had the ability to do that. You can change how things are being run in our school but you don't. Your not being racist if you are telling them to obey our rules. If they don't like it they can leave. It is as simple as that.

Somalis are the worst and most useless immigrants of all.... They are Muslim, they are tribalistic, they are often polygamous, they are lo IQ

They are also supremely arrogant thinking that because they are Muslim they are superior to the native born American who are seen as low infidels

Plus they come in as refugees (due to pressure from the Congressional black caucus) so are given enhanced welfare benefits for at least the first five years...unlike your normal immigrants

Of all the Muzzies that are coming here the Somali type are the worst.

They are litke zombies...one minute they seem placid, laid back... and the next second they turn into screaming banshees.

God help us from them...

Since this story is now six weeks, is there any news about what, if anything, was done about the gang of Somalis who assaulted the four white students during school?

Don’t you wonder where the ACLU is in all this? These Somalis get a prayer room? Do Christian kids get a chapel?

I can see why the white kids are so upset. I don’t know why their parents put up with it. You’d think at least one of them would get a clue and call the ACLU or bring a suit on their own.

The parents should tell the administration that if they don’t rein in these Somali kids, the white kids are going to let the Somalis have the school all to themselves.

Racial tension running high after fight at Owatonna High School
(Somalis beat up whites over essay)

In the old days:
“But you knew I was a snake when you took me in!”

Today, especially in liberal nutburger places north of the Mason-Dixon Line:
“But you knew I was a murderous Islamic when you took me in!!!”

In other words...”No good deed goes unpunished.”

You can take the Islamic warrior out of the Islamic hell-hole...
but you can’t take the Islamic Hell-Hole mentality out of the Islamic warriors.

Diversity is our strength! “Immigrants that came to my area made the local paper because their children would huddle in the classroom corner to defecate.” Just imagine what we can learn from these people. The freedom! They are not “up tight” about eliminating their bowels. Just think how healthy this is.

Were any charges brought against the Somali’s who distributed the paper and not only incited violence but perpetrated it?

That's a great question. The young man who went to the hospital should be able to press charges, regardless of what the high school does.
