Ahh, you do know that Blacks sold more people (blacks) into slavery than any white ever did, correct?

The tid bit that is not included in this story is that they sang MANY other songs that day about all types of black leaders since it was done during February which is black history month.

Where's white history month? Sing some praises for folks who actually made our country what it is today.

Damn good idea. Let's sing songs to the kidnapped, raped and (not incidentally) enslaved Africans upon whom not just the Southern economy, but through trade, the entire Colonial America/USA economy, was based for 150 years. Let's sing a song to Chinese laborers who built the Trans-Continental Railroad. Sing songs to the Native Americans who gave up 95% of their population and 99% of their land to make America safe for Wal-Mart parking lots.

Oh, Mammy.....

Are you racists?

This much you and I can agree on. The rest of your comments sound like guilt driven drivel. Are you proud to be American?

Or maybe there are other explanations?

I think that there is a significant style contributor. A president who consults with the other party tends to be seen as more of a unifier. One who just basically tells the other party to get lost and does things his way tends to be more divisive. In fact, I think GWB is a great illustration of this. In his earlier years, I think he generally created more divisions in the country, because his party controlled Congress, and he was therefore more likely to go it alone without the opposition party. Once the democrats took control of Congress, I think that Bush was forced to work with them more, and therefore was less divisive. The election of a President of the same party that controlled congress (Obama) has swung us back to the some of the same feeling we had in the middle years of the GWB presidency (more partisan divisions).

I think the early post 9/11 years don't really follow this reasoning, because the shock of 9/11 essentially swept the partisan divisions under the carpet for a while, just the same as they made us all Yankees fans.

this is absolutely true -

The fact that people can absolutely hate one guy and worship his ideal counterpart on the other side at the same time blinds them to the fact we are repeating some really bad philosophies.

it's why the Obushma graphic is so offensive to some - the truth hurts

Ya, thats it

I think I will purposfully mis-spell words so you have to spend more time pointing that out. I am sure it adds to your feeling of superiority

but the more time you do that the less time you have to make posts

>I'm an atheist.
>I'd feel the same way about both of these things.

OK cool.

>I'm having trouble following your point. Can you elaborate?

If someone supports prayer in school, and/or wants references to God in the pledge they recite - but become "fucking apoplectic" when the president of the US is mentioned in a song that schoolkids sing - then they're being somewhat hypocritical.

However, as you stated above, you support neither.

[billvon 3,120]

> you would be fucking apoplectic too if your kids were singing about gwb.

They were:

=======
Our country stood beside us
People have sent us aid
Katrina could not stop us, our hopes will never fade
Congress, Bush, and FEMA
People across our land
Together have come to rebuild us and we join them hand-in-hand!
=======

But somehow I think you managed to overlook that one.

Wow. What's the source on that one?

I'd be pretty upset if my kids were singing that in school, too.
