The Puppet Racist Barry Soetoro aka; Barack Hussein Obama Mein Kampf Nearly every page save the ones dedicated to cataloguing the mundane details of his life is bristling with anger at some imputed racist incident.

The Netherlands' worst holiday tradition, Black Peet

5 hours ago ago from Gadling

The history of Black Peet, or Zwarte Piet, is a subject of much disagreement. The explanation that makes the most sense to us (and seems the most likely) is that just as wealthy Dutch families once had black servants, so did Santa Claus. Rather than the elves we're used to seeing in America, Santa's helper in Holland and all over the Netherlands is a smiling, minstrel show-meets-Shakespeare-style, black-faced man, such as the chocolate ...

Geoffrey R. Stone: The Republican Struggle for "Ascendency"

2 hours ago ago from Huffington Post

They scorned "any idea of moderation" and greeted with contempt any effort "to understand a question from all sides." Their primary goal was "to acquire power" by frustrating those in authority at every turn. If the President "made a reasonable speech," they "took every precaution to see that it had no practical effect." Although "professing to serve the public interest," they in fact "were seeking to win" power "for themselves." In "their ...
