"So we've got to stand side by side with all our neighbors –- straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender; Muslim, Jew, Christian, Hindu immigrant, Native American -- because the march for civil rights isn't just about African Americans, it's about all Americans. It's about making things more just, more equal, more free for all our kids and grandkids. That's the story you all have the opportunity to write. That's what this historic university has prepared you to do."

First Lady Michelle Obama, Saturday, April 23, 2016.

Sadly there are many who still disagree with the First Lady's words of truth.

    "Sadly there are many who still disagree with the First Lady's words of truth>"

    Take a look around the far right blogsphere and news sites to find the "many" who disagree with anything Mr. and Mrs. Obama say. There's one particular blogger who runs around the blogs telling everyone we should avoid vitriol and nastiness when we talk to each other, then this blogger uses vitriol and nastiness to describe the people who live in the White House.

    There's no reasoning with those people because no matter the facts and evidence, they are influenced by their visceral hatred of the Obamas. It's a sickness with no cure. They talk to each other and reinforce their "false facts" and gossip.

    Mrs. Obama's message to the graduates of Jackson State is a message all reasonable people agree with. But the operative word is "reasonable."

    You're correct Shaw, ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome) can only be cured by rational and reasonable thinking, a capacity those suffering ODS completely lack.


    Obama Derangement Syndrome is different. It isn't so much paranoia about President Obama's policies as it is paranoia about the man himself — that he is, in some fundamental way, different, foreign, untrustworthy, even traitorous. What's odd is that it is attached to a president whose presidency has been, in almost every respect, conventionally liberal.

    Would someone saying Michelle Obama wasn't proud to be American be an example of Obama derangement syndrome in action? I ask out of curiosity.

On Greed and Compassion

By: WILL " TAKE NO PRISONERS " HART I quite resent this notion that the American people are somehow a greedy lot, and that they're only concerned about themselves. It certainly doesn't mesh with the world that I see and it doesn't mesh the data, either. According to the Charitable Aid Foundation, the United States is THE most generous country on the planet (65% of its citizens donate money, 43% donate personal time, and 73% help out strangers). And to think that this type of charity would somehow shrink up if in fact the government did decide to cut back a little is both ridiculous AND insulting..............................................................................................I also deeply resent the demonization of wealth and achievement in this society. It was, folks, the industrialists and business visionaries of the United States who truly made it the great place in which literally every frigging immigrant on the planet wan...

CNN Poll Showing Tight Race Going Into Debates...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny While Obama is leading in a CNN poll two days before the presidential debates there remains opportunity for Romney to close the gap. Obama's lead is within the margin of error. Understanding polls are at best statistical indicators of public sentiment, and they can be manipulated through the process of weighting, I do not place an abundance of faith in polls. I decided to post these results mostly as a realistic reminder to the euphoria the left seems to be enjoying at the present moment. Polls by ABC News/Washington Post, Politico/George Washington University, and American Research Group indicate a tight race as well. CNN has averaged the results of all four polls as well as a Fox News poll of last week and the results show Obama at 49% and Romney at 46%, again within the margin of error. It is clear Romney still has a window of opportunity if, 1) he handle himself well in the presidential debates and provide...
