Did it seem odd to you that even the Fox all-star panel would have us believe that the President with the most micromanaged image in recent memory had no control or influence whatsoever over the preparation, format, and tenor etc. of the commercialized, pep rally memorial we witnessed this week, and that the White House can blame the embarrassment entirely on the University of Arizona? The entire event was about Captain Greek Columns - who gave a half hour speech – and his time to shine and show off his magical healing abilities.
Togethere We Thrive” sure sounded a lot more campaign like than memorial like. Usually the themes for memorials – assuming they’re meant to feature those we’re supposedly remembering – are not about “thriving” or “prospering” or anything of that sort. It was a jarring oddity. Now we have an idea where it came from. Not only did the slogan for this Obama 2012 campaign kickoff, ”Together We Thrive,” originate from President Obama’s campaign organization Organizing for America, but it was the title of a post calling for revolution:
“For too long Americans have been set one against the other. It is a side affect of a free market society,” Berry IV posted. “How can profits be maximized, how can I get the work down for the lowest possible costs. This continually sets one group against the other, especially in the blue collar sectors of America. It has become part of the American Business model, whether it was indentured servants, slaves picking cotton, sharecroppers, the industrious people that built the railroads or today’s migrant workers. As long as we remain divided, fighting for the scraps that America has to offer it will be one group against the other.Revolution was just a metaphor, you say, not a call for political violence? Doesn’t matter anymore, apparently.“What I see in Obama is a chance for revolution. (Italics CFP’s). A chance for every group to be heard; A chance to live the American dream that has been denied to so many…
“In a previous career, I was the global leader of Diversity for a global fortune 500 corporation. I have studied the affects of diverse groups working together and the results can not be denied. Together we Thrive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
But worst of all is that according to Judi McLeod of the Canada Free Press, at the bottom of the t-shirts is the DNC slogan “Rocking America and Rocking the Vote.”
Here’s what McLeod reports:
University of Arizona brass did not originate the “Together We Thrive” T-shirt. They merely recycled it for Obama—and recycled it in time for what should have been a dignified Memorial for the dead.
If you were a mourner who took home a “Together We Thrive” T-shirt have a look at the bottom of your shirt. “Rocking America and Rocking the Vote” is a common theme of the DNC, and it’s right there on your Memorial T-shirt memento.
Welcome to the era of Obama, where cheering and standing ovations, for the first time in history, became part of the Requiem for the Dead.
If that is true – and it should be easily verifiable as thousands of people now possess those shirts – I’m not sure how that will be explained; the University of Arizona distributed and reportedly purchased the shirts – but not without the knowledge or approval of the President’s team. They can’t simply be unused Obama campaign T-Shirts (though that would be bad enough) because they specifically say “Tucson and America” on them. I can’t wait to hear the explanation on this one, but at the very least, if it is true that those T-Shirts had that DNC “rocking the vote” slogan on them, don’t you dare try to blame this whole disgraceful event and the T-Shirts solely on the University.
My goodness.
LOL... There is something creepy and ghoulish about that slogan...
Together we thrive on SOYLENT GREEN!!!
well the 6 dead in coffins certainly are not thriving are they?

They’re the ones that whistle, yell, and clap at a MEMORIAL SERVICE and yet WE’RE called crazy.
As far as I’m concerned, BO could’ve put a stop to all that. Send the Secret Service up into the stands to tell all the college nitwits to KNOCK IT OFF, or get a message to the university president to make some kind of an announcement (preferably before the service) that it will be a respectful service.
But the lopped-eared one got exactly what he wanted. Yeah, Together They Thrive...on Dope.

OK, saving that one
Beginning March 2nd, I’ll plan to avoid large cities, especially the areas around colleges!
I believe that some groups have already announced that they’re going to engage in public disruption and riots. I seem to remember reading that online earlier this week.

March 2nd hey..
Well, we will see how far it goes then if your right..which I dont have any doubts on.
They seem to forget. They can riot all they want in the big cities and the country folk and truckers will simply cut em off from food and everything. Lets see if they riot on empty guts. They move out into the country and they will see what justice is like.
