JESSE JACKSON CLAIMS DONALD TRUMP STOLE THE ELECTION…


You have to wonder about an entire race of people who, for the most part, have no interest whatsoever in listening to any of those voices, from within their own community, that espouse the need to be reliant upon oneself, to expect nothing for ‘free’ and to work for those things that you want.  And also by whom very little attention paid to those who point out how it is that the Democrat Party, the party of slavery, segregation, the KKK and of Jim Crow, has been very successful in its efforts to destroy the black family and in so doing essentially created a modern day version of slavery, not one that involves any kind of forced labor, but is a form of slavery just the same.  Race relations were better 40 years ago then they are today.  All the Democrats can do is divide and conquer. The Black community has been screwed over for decades by the Democrats.  Life has not gotten better, it’s gotten worse, much worse.  Obummer pushed Blacks to the back of the bus again.  Hitlery would have kicked them off completely.  And yet they remain foolish enough, or ignorant enough, to keep voting Democrat.  

Which brings me to an event this past Thursday in Chicago, the ‘Murder Capital of the Country’, which was the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition convention where Jesse ‘The Extortionist’ Jackson made the ignorant claim that Democrat nominee Hitlery actually won the 2016 presidential election only to have it “stolen” by President Donald Trump.  While introducing Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez, Jackson said, “To have a head of our party who is sensitive to the plight of working people is the order of this day. Don’t forget when you lose; you tend to amplify ‘would’ve, could’ve, should’ve.’ When you win, you cover up your sins. Let nobody fool you. We worked last year; we won the election. It was stolen.”  He added, “From John F. Kennedy to Nixon to Carter to Ford to Clinton to Barack if any of them had to face the impact A: of Russian interference in such a bold way— had to face the foolishness of the electoral college and the interference of the FBI, none of them—  Hillary won in spite of having a three million vote lead. So we are not going to let anybody break our spirit. We are going to keep fighting back.”

I’m guessing someone should once again try to explain to this moron the principles behind the Electoral College.  If ‘The Founders’ had wanted mob rule then we would be a democracy, where bastions of left-wing lunacy, such as New York and California, would get to elect all the people to any nationwide office.  As it is, those states give the Democrats a leg up in the Electoral College. Jackson needs to realize that his side lost because it’s seen as being little more than a criminal enterprise (hopefully to be exposed as such sooner rather than later) and it nominated, through what is seen as being a very flawed system, she who was a seriously flawed candidate.  She did not appeal to the entire country, only to the east and west coasts, and of course the bankrupt People’s Republic of Illinois.  Hitlery called half the voters in America deplorable, has a "career" with no actual accomplishments, she's married to a rapist, she was so disrespectful of state secrets that she should be in jail, yet this moron actually thinks she should be president!  Nobody stole the election from Hitlery, her own corrupt past simply caught up with her.

So tell me Jesse, since you’re so smart and seem to have this whole thing figured out, just how, exactly, did Trump steal the election, by winning the Electoral College?  The reason the Democrats are so shocked that Trump won, is because they cheated so badly with illegal alien voters, fake registrations, voting in multiple districts, etc., and yet STILL lost!  You can complain about the Electoral College, but it is what it is.   The last election used the same system that has been in place in this country for centuries.  The results were that Trump won.  To claim that it was stolen is nothing but liberal rhetoric that has nothing to do with reality.  What is really at play here is that the Democrats cannot bring themselves to believe that with all the votes they fraudulently created, bought, or filled out for other people, and all the money they spent paying people to vote for the Hitlery, they still lost. They are revolting against the legal citizen voters, who overwhelmingly rejected them, and elected someone who cares about this country and its people.  Every objection to Trump they voice, is an anti-America voice rejecting the choice of the people. Do we really want people like that in power ever again?

Face it Jesse, Trump won and your side lost.  No one wanted a criminal under investigation and a pathological liar as leader of our country.  President Trump worked hard during the campaign with boundless energy.  Hitlery kept holed up.  And when she did venture out she did little more than scream at the American people and call them names.  In addition, raising taxes on the middle class, letting in more unvetted people by the thousands, and not trying to create jobs didn't help her either.  Neither did Benghazi or her sleazy foundation.  In truth, Jackson is nothing but a race-baiting poverty pimp, hustler and extortionist who has never worked an honest day in his life and who sucks up to trashy corrupt people in an effort to get his cut.  The fact is that Hitlery stole at least five states and came up short in other states, they miscalculated how much the needed to steal vis a vis Trump's popularity and turnout.  This is why these same pieces of corrupt garbage are now opposing the commission looking into election practices and fraud.  They are thieves who do not want to be stopped. Their only hope of winning is robbing.

Poor old Jesse, like so many of his kind, remain in denial and still seem unable to grasp the concept of how our Constitution's Electoral College process really works.  So once again Jesse, repeat after me: "We don't elect Presidents in America by popular vote - we elect them according to the results of the Electoral voting".  Now if you would please go out and repeat that to all of your kooky leftwing crybabies.  And while I’m sure Jesse will choose not to agree, the best thing ‘The Founders’ ever did was to put the Electoral College in our Constitution.  Had they not done so liberal states like California and New York would be the only one deciding who get to be president, and we would have long ago ceased to exist as America.  Thank God Trump is our President and Hitlery is not!!!  And you know, while I guess it can be said that Jackson may have been a good man once upon a time, obviously that would a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, because those days are long gone.  He no longer walks with dignity but lays in the filth of greed, corruption, ignorance and lust for power. It’s way past time to say bon voyage to this old boy. 

Today Jackson is nothing more than another one of those black con men who are directly responsible for destroying black kids chances of growing up with a father, as Democrat welfare programs have pretty thoroughly decimated the black family.  And such a claim is indisputable.  The whole Congressional Black Caucus, along with race pimps like Jackson, and that other faux preacher Al ‘Not So’ Sharpton seek only to enrich themselves by buying black votes with our tax dollars, courtesy of what is nothing more than a slavery ponzi scheme.  Hitlery had millions who voted for her illegally which is precisely why all the corrupt liberals are against President Trump’s voter fraud commission and is precisely why Democrat are against voter ID laws so that all of our illegal aliens, i.e., not eligible to vote, can cast illegal votes for Democrat candidates.  No one is fooled, we aren't now and our Founding Fathers weren't back in 1789, either. You are a racist, an evil person who has essentially sold his soul to the devil.

The fact is that Hitlery was losing the popular vote with 99% of voting precincts reporting, and then just six hours later she ‘won’ the popular vote.  Perhaps we should investigate that.  The Democrats cheated heavily in their strongholds, and therefore didn't plan on such a massive electoral loss.  We have zero arrows in the quiver to counteract the Democrat Party race/giveaway/envy appeal.  The dimwits and lazy people who buy into that are congenitally unable to conceive of success based on self-reliance and are therefore impervious to reason.  Ergo, to me anyway, it is advantageous to have the most repugnant, stale, shallow and corrupt con man possible out in front of their operation.  God forbid they should stumble upon a reasonably credible centrist.  I am 100% in favor of them rolling out the same cloying cast of characters they have now, indefinitely.  Bring on the crazy old Socialist who never worked a day in his life, and the Botox addict from SF; crank up the black guy from Atlanta who thought Guam could "capsize"; empty the clown car of every Debbie Wizzerman Schultz and Chuckie Schumer and Al Franken you got.  Hillary 2020!

And on a final note, have you ever stopped to wonder why it is that those on the left are trying so hard to stall the president’s commission on voter fraud?  Might it at least have a little to do with the number of Illegals as well as the number dead people, together with those who voted multiple times, all of which allowed Hitlery to claim victory in the popular vote?  The purpose of voter ID laws in the U.S. is not to disenfranchise any voters.  And if Jackson believes that the elections were stolen than he must become a supporter of voter ID laws and other measures to secure honest elections.  He would also be demanding that only legal citizens be allowed to vote, he would also demand that the military voters get counted in time for the elections and not lost or delayed. He would emphasize how over 6 million illegals voted for Hitlery so far have been uncovered from just 4 states.  So if you really believe what you say Jesse, help do something about voter fraud.  But of course we all know that Jackson has no interest in reducing the amount of voter fraud taking place, for the very simple reason being that Democrat have come to rely pretty heavily on it.

JESSE JACKSON, TAKING HYPOCRISY TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL…


Well I doubt very much that anyone remains in need of being reminded of the fact that we continue to spend a substantial part December doing nothing more than to argue about what is essentially the opinion of one man, Mr. Phil Robertson. While much of the attention has been focused on what some have described as being his rather harsh, even mean-spirited, comments regarding the topic of homosexuality, there were also several who, shall we say, were unable to resist themselves from making what were some rather bizarre accusations regarding his comments on that topic of race relations in this country.

Now while I suppose some might be inclined to describe Mr. Robertson as being rather naïve, somewhat blind or simply a liar, none of those descriptions seemed to go far enough to suit that faux preacher, and professional race-baiter, Jesse "The Extortionist" Jackson. Jackson, much like his buddy Al "Bull Horn" Sharpton, who I seem to have heard very little from during this entire dustup, has managed to turn the business of inflaming hatred between the races into what as become, for him, a very lucrative one. And he is never one to turn down an opportunity that might allow him to add to his own personal coffers.

In choosing how best to describe the comments made by Mr. Robertson, Jackson once again demonstrated his eagerness to insert racism into situations, even where no racism exists. He said the following about Mr. Robertson: "These statements uttered by Robertson are more offensive than the bus driver in Montgomery, Alabama, more than 59 years ago. At least the bus driver, who ordered Rosa Parks to surrender her seat to a white person, was following state law. Robertson’s statements were uttered freely and openly without cover of the law, within a context of what he seemed to believe was ‘white privilege.’"

So let’s just cut right to the chase, here, shall we? Jackson is not only well known as being a race hustler but also a very successful fraud when it comes to who it is that he says he is. Many facts have been ignored over the years, being either bullied from ever seeing the light of day or significantly altered by way of an extensive revisionist whitewashing designed to prevent the truth from getting out. Personally, I doubt very much he is even a reverend. After all, he actually dropped out of seminary school. But the fraud doesn't stop there, and explains a lot of why so many follow him out of nothing more than ignorance.

In looking over the bio of the good reverend Jackson, more questions are raised than are answered. For instance there are questions about, not only his personal infidelity, but the good deal of the criminal behavior of his half-brother, as well as the many exaggerations, false claims (MLK died in my arms etc.), anti-Semitism, and, especially, the examples of what is nothing less than the extortion of money from US corporations in the name of diversity initiatives that mainly lined the pockets of Jackson and his wealthy friends, friends who in turn would donate to PUSH-Excel and other commingled Jackson ‘non-profits’.

Which kind of makes you wonder, what is it, exactly, that makes Jackson think that he has, and in any way, the moral authority to criticize ANYONE about ANYTHING? There’s an old adage that I would think that Jackson, being a reverend and all, would be familiar with and that I’m quite sure Mr. Robertson is. It’s the one that says, "Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone." And if there’s one thing I think we can all agree on, it’s the fact that Jackson is far removed from being devoid of sin. But that, most certainly, has never prevented him from pronouncing the guilt of others regarding misdeeds, real or imagined.

JESSE ‘THE EXTORTIONIST’ JACKSON THROWS HIS TWO CENTS IN…


As one who is constantly on the prowl of any opportunity to accuse someone who’s white of being racist, comes that well known publicity whore, Jesse ‘The Extortionist’ Jackson. And as such he has now seen fit to enter the fray regarding the supposed ‘controversy’ now surrounding some comments made by Phil Robertson in an interview. In an announcement that was sent out on Christmas Eve, Jackson actually felt it as being appropriate to compare Robertson’s recent comments about blacks, gays and women, to comments made by the driver of Rosa Parks’ bus. It was in this stupid little release that Jackson said, "At least the bus driver, who ordered Rosa Parks to surrender her seat to a white person, was following state law." Old Jesse went on to say, "Robertson's statements were uttered freely and openly without cover of the law, within a context of what he seemed to believe was ‘white privilege.’"

Operating under the premise that it’s some sort of a human rights group, the true purpose behind Jackson’s idiotic group, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, has nothing to do with protecting rights. What the group does is to specialize in the shaking down of those companies or organizations deemed by Jackson to be "racially intolerant". The group has now demanded meetings with A&E and with Cracker Barrel regarding the two companies’ treatment of Robertson. Jackson’s group, along with LGBT group GLAAD and the National Organization for Women, urged A&E to keep Robertson on an indefinite hiatus from the show, which the network started following Robertson’s comments criticizing homosexuality in his interview with GQ magazine. Cracker Barrel removed Duck Dynasty items from its shelves and then quickly put them back Sunday after customers very loudly protested the company’s action.

And I’m assuming that what got Jackson’s, and the other group’s, panties in such a bunch is the fact that in it’s own release the Tennessee-based company stated, "We respect all individuals’ right to express their beliefs." Adding, "We certainly did not mean to have anyone think different." And that, apparently made Jackson, and the leaders of the other groups, none too happy as they are now demanding a sit-down meeting with Cracker Barrel and A&E in the next couple of days. And in what was yet another press release by the group leaders, they said, "It is unacceptable that a personality who has been given such a large platform would benefit from racist and anti-gay comments." And yet, had Mr. Robertson’s statements been seen as supporting such things as gay marriage there would have been no concern whatsoever for those who would have disagreed with that statement. So it’s all quite obviously hypocritical.

So as one of everyone’s favorite faux preachers, Jackson seems to perceive himself as being someone one who possesses the requisite moral authority to be able to criticize Mr. Robertson for making his comments. But I fail to see how a man who has such a long, and rather storied, history of having a difficult time with telling the truth, as well as his producing a child with one of his young staff members, is actually able to criticize anyone. But, as it always is with liberals, it’s another case of, do as I say not as I do. Jackson, as well as the other race-baiters that we are constantly being forced to contend with, is always looking for ways to maintain his relevancy. And wouldn’t you think that if a man truly was the man of God that he professes himself to be, he would be just a tad bit more accepting of the rationale behind another man’s simply stating his beliefs? But then acceptance and tolerance now appears to be but a one way street.

But none of this is really the least bit new. We who find the act of two men having sex to be not only disgusting but, from the health aspect, dangerous, are supposed to keep our beliefs firmly under wraps so that we don’t risk offending those to partake in such risky behavior. I’m sorry, but if you’re someone who chooses to participate in such activity, then you should also, and at the same time, be prepared to take whatever criticism may come your way for doing so. There’s an old adage that says, "If you can’t stand the heat, stay outta the kitchen." And I think that it can be said to apply here. And all Jackson, and his cohorts in this little endeavor to intimidate, is trying to do here is to turn behavior that is usually viewed as being unacceptable into being acceptable. And apparently neither Mr. Robertson, nor his sponsors, are buying any of it. And what I say to that is, "Good for them!" Jackson’s idiotic claims notwithstanding.

JESSE ‘THE EXTORTIONIST’ JACKSON PRAISES MANDELA…


Well, if we can believe Jesse ‘The Extortionist’ Jackson, which is rather doubtful, in his last conversation with Nelson Mandela, the former South African president, as well as a murdering terrorist, Mandela supposedly admitted that he was actually glad he was caught and jailed for 27 years before he ended up with the blood of innocents on his hands. ‘Before’ he ended up with the blood of innocents on his hands? I’m not really sure what the Hell Jackson is talking about, because Mandela died with more than a little blood on his hands.

Anyway, I’m guessing in what must have been an attempt by to make excuses for the supposed ‘peace loving’ Mandela, Jackson told Fox News Channel's "Special Report" that Mandela had joined the military arm of the African National Congress, having decided that the only way to fight Apartheid was through violence. After blowing up bridges and other infrastructure, they turned to schools and other buildings. The fact that he was caught and imprisoned prevented his actions from escalating. Sorry, but that’s just plain BS.

Even Fox News commentator George Will was among heaping praise on Mandela, noting that he never showed bitterness for his 27 years of imprisonment. "If he felt no bitterness, that was astonishing. If he understandably felt it and never expressed it, that's more astonishing," Will said. No offense to Will, but I would have thought he’d do some homework before rushing to praise Mandela. Mandela got what he deserved, and I can only assume that Will is either oblivious to Mandela’s bloody past, or simply chose to ignore it.

Jackson's description of the older Mandela, relieved he never killed innocents, may have at least partially explained his feelings. Jackson was one of the first to meet Mandela as he was freed from his cell in 1990. "The release of his body took us to unbelievable heights of joy. The release of his spirit takes us to unbelievable depths of sadness and pain," Jackson told Fox News. Actually what should have been made to happen is for Mandela to die in the same manner that he is known to have inflicted upon others. I believe it’s called, necklacing.

So, I guess, we will now have the likes of Jackson out there doing their best to perpetuate the myth of a man who was essentially nothing more than a racist and a cold blooded killer. It’s actually quite sad that blacks, who really have very few bona fide heroes that they can genuinely be proud of, are now reduced to having to celebrate the life of a terrorist, and, in the process, seem quite determined in their efforts to paint him as being some sort of saint. But a saint is something that he most definitely was not. But that won’t stop these folks from trying.

JESSE 'THE EXTORTIONIST' JACKSON...HATE MERCHANT...


Faux reverend, and another one who is able to make a darn good living for himself by stirring up shit, Jesse ‘The Extortionist’ Jackson, has once again demonstrated that that one lone brain cell of his has become extremely overworked. And he has also let it be known that, like his old buddy and fellow race baiter, Al 'Bull Horn' Sharpton, he will go to any lengths, leave no stone unturned, and say absolutely anything in his effort to ensure the highest success rate possible in inciting as much racial hatred as is humanly, or as in his case, not so humanly, possible. Jesse, and those like him out there in the race industry are simply merchants of hate.

The most recent example from him on the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington came when he made the claim that Republican opposition to Barry "Almighty’s" policies is motivated by nothing more than racism, or as Jesse put it, racial animus reminiscent of the Civil War-era South. "The tea party is the resurrection of the Confederacy, it’s the Fort Sumter tea party," Jackson told Politico’s Glenn Thrush. Ok, so because I'm of the opinion that I'm paying way too much in taxes to cover the cost of a government that I think has grown way too big, and does way too much for far too many people, I'm trying to resurrect the confederacy?

No, say it ain’t so, Jesse. I don’t suppose that opposition, to which this racist bonehead refers, could, in any way, have the slightest thing to do with the socialist policies that Barry is so determined to inflict upon this country, right? Or be because of his very obvious, and very blatant, hatred of our country and all that it stands for? Nope, it couldn't be that! It has to be that there is concerted effort underway to bring back the glory days of the Jeff Davis and Robert E. Lee. That HAS to be the only explanation. Needless to say, most of those who were, and still are, in favor of bringing back the confederacy, are all Democrats. But Jesse don't want to hear that.

So Jesse, who for some bizarre reason, this moron Thrush actually referred to as being the man "who more than anyone occupies the no man’s land between his mentor King and Obama," is "absolutely" convinced that attempts to thwart Barry "Almighty’s" agenda are motivated solely by his race. Making such incendiary remarks is really nothing new for Jesse, it's his stock-in-trade. It's how this pathetic piece of shit makes his bread and butter. He and his imbecilic cohort, Al ‘Bull Horn’ Sharpton do nothing more than to use the very people whom they claim to be fighting for, as way of making themselves incredibly wealthy.

But as near as I can figure, the majority of blacks in this country seem to be either too stupid to care, or they don’t mind in the least that they're being used in such an unseemly manner as long as it’s blacks who are getting rich, even racist dirt bags like Jesse and Al. Now if most blacks aren't already wise to these two scam artists, then I don't suppose they ever will be. Or maybe they are just so filled with hate, it does their hearts good to see these two go after the crackers. But I'll tell what, I sure would love to live just long enough to see a majority of blacks finally wake up to what it is that these two goons have been doing to them for decades.

And another thing about Jesse that really ticks me off is the fact that this douche bag seems to have no problem whatsoever with the fact that open season seems to now have been declared on old white folks, by racist black thugs. And hardly a day goes by that I'm not reading about, or seeing on television, how it is that another old white person has fallen prey to some black thug, or group of black thugs, who for no other reason than for sport, or boredom, decided that it would be a good idea to beat up or to kill someone who happens to be white. Such behavior is nothing more than the byproduct of that is being sold by this race huckster and his old buddy Al.

I think blacks get a sick thrill out of trying to intimidate whites. I would argue that that's what Trayvon Martin might have been trying to do the night he died. And I'll tell you what, I have a gun and a permit to carry it, so if someone wants to take the risk of trying to intimidate me for fun, I'd be careful about that. Because I'm not going to end up like 'Shorty.' And if forced into firing my 9mm handgun I ain't gonna be aiming for a leg or an arm, I'm gonna be aiming for the head. I’ve got 15 rounds and you can bet that I'm gonna be doing my best to put 15 holes into whoever it is that thinks it might be fun to try to threaten me. This is where listening to Jesse, Al and Barry has gotten us. Ain't it just great?

JESSE JACKSON GETS DRAGGED INTO THE 21ST CENTURY...


One of those perpetuators of racial hatred who seems to be forever stuck in the past, faux preacher Jesse "The Extortionist" Jackson, described the recent Supreme Court ruling that part of the landmark Voting Rights Act can no longer be enforced, as a "devastating blow." A piece of legislation, I might add, that were it not for Republicans would have never seen the light of day. But that's something that you'll never hear old Jesse talking much about, cause them racist old Republicans just wanna keep da black man down.

The longtime instigator of racial unrest as well as a former Democrat presidential candidate, makes the idiotic claim that Tuesday’s decision somehow threatens decades of what he called progress in ensuring that minorities aren’t denied the right to vote. Yup, old Jesse thinks we're still stuck in the past when such attitudes were something that actually existed. It was a time, in some ways, not that much different from today, where Jesse helps the Democrats in their effort to keep blacks firmly on the political plantation.

Stirring up things between the races has always proven to be a very lucrative enterprise for Jackson, as it has also been for Al "Bull Horn" Sharpton. While we haven't heard from old "Bull Horn" yet regarding this decision, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time. That it might somehow come to have an impact on Jackson's cash flow is most likely what Jackson finds so worrisome. Old Jesse always happy to use his fellow blacks anyway he can as a way to pad his bank account.

So anyway, what has Jackson's panties in such a bunch is the fact that the high court has now ruled that Congress can no longer enforce its current formula for deciding which states and local governments still need federal approval before changing voting laws. It says the formula in the 1965 act is based on old patterns of discrimination that might no longer be valid. Jackson says the ruling will destroy gains in "inclusion and expansion." Well no, not exactly, but I'm sure that will be the main story line we hear in the media..

So Jesse gets dragged into the 21st century kicking and screaming. Because as loudly as he will claim that it is otherwise, race relations in 2013 are not the race relations of the 40s, 50s or even 60s. It's time to move "forward", Jesse. Can't live your life as if it was the past anymore. Like it or not progress has been made, with it having been accomplished more in spite of you, than because of you. Martin Luther King you ain't, not even close. He wasn’t a huckster and he wasn't out just to make a buck.

Jesse says he is now calling on Barry "Almighty" as well as our race neutral Department of Justice to "speak out today" and to challenge the ruling. Challenge the ruling? What, so now besides Barry's constantly circumventing Congress, Jackson is now of the opinion that he should also do an end around the Supreme Court as well? What the Hell country am I living in? Last time I checked Barry's title is 'president', not 'Emperor for freakin Life'. Apparently Jesse thinks that it's the latter.

LEFTISTS TROOP OFF TO BID A FINAL FAREWELL TO CHAVEZ...


Amongst those who be being heading south to Venezuela to bid a final farewell to dictator Hugo Chavez, there will also be a group of some very sad American leftists. One member of that little delegation will be none other that one of America's foremost faux preachers, Jesse 'The Extortionist' Jackson. Not sure if he's be taking his son, disgraced former Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. along, but Sr. confirmed his attendance via Twitter. He reportedly arrived Thursday night in Venezuela and will lead a delegation organized by his little scam organization referred to as the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition. I'm sure old Hugo will be looking up from Hell and waving.

Jackson told Fox News he knew the Venezuelan president "in a direct and personal way" and says he is "deeply saddened by his passing." Chavez presented Jackson with the Liberator's Award in 2005. On Friday morning, Jackson took to Facebook and posted the following: "I extend my deepest condolences to his family and along with people around the globe, am deeply saddened by his passing. During this sad and difficult moment in the lives of all those affected by this unfortunate news, we most always remember that God is our refuge and strength. I join the people of Venezuela, especially the family and friends of President Chavez, in mourning this global leader."

We can use this little gathering as a way of gauging the number of despots, dictators and tyrants that we actually have in this world because, really, who else would attend such an event the sole purpose of which is to honor a character as vile as Chavez? It has been reported that there will be more than 30 heads of various governments who are currently scheduled to attend the funeral, all, I'm quite sure, socialist or communist in their style of governance. Of course there will also be among those in attendance at least one member of Congress, U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks from New York, a Democrat of course, and former Rep. William Delahunt from Massachusetts.

Personally I was quite surprised to hear that Barry wasn't planning on attending. I thought for sure that he'd be wanting to take advantage of an opportunity that would have allowed him hobnob with some of his fellow socialists, maybe even compare stories. I mean, he's not running for reelection again, so what's he got to lose? He might even have picked up a few pointers. And he could have taken the opportunity to brag a bit about the fact that he's now able to send drones across America to pick off potential 'terrorists' even if they happen to be U.S. citizens. But, I guess, he thought he would just mourn in private. After all, I'm sure he feels like he's lost a kindred spirit, of sorts.
