Elie, the origins do not really matter. What does matter is that there are lots of people in the United States that celebrate that holiday as their own. Jews celebrate Chanukah, a totally secular holiday, Christians celebrate Christmas, which is deeply rooted in religious significance, why is it divissive for Blacks to celebrate a non religious holiday of their own? It is not interfering with anyone else celebrating theirs. Why the fuss?
Manopeace
What do you see divissive about this? Why not enjoy them all instead??
Link According to this, there is nothing divissive about the holiday. The 'Thug" as you call him has a very proninent position in a very prominent university, which is why I used the word alleged in my last comment.
nasty~! not meaning to be nasty... but don't see the separation of races in this... I see the uniqueness. Whather or not its founder is an alleged criminal has no bearing on it.
Why not go all the way Elie and blame the Christians for taking away from the glorious days of Chanukah, The Moslems for daring to celebrate Ramadan during the Jewish New Year... Why stop at Kwanzaa?
Happy Anniversary to the both of you.... WOW... it really does seem like yesterday! Time REALLY flies when you're havin fun! Keep having that fun!
HE WAS A THREAT TO AMERICA!" HOW????????? HE WAS A THREAT TO FREEDOM!!!! THEREFORE HE WAS A THREAT TO AMERICA!!!! HE WAS ALSO A THREAT TO ALLIES OF AMERICA.......THEREFORE HE WAS A THREAT TO AMERICA!!!! Gene... you are soooooooooooooooooooo far off base on this one... you are making t
That's so great Mason! I'm proud of you!!
have a great one!
Gene, have you read ONE word that others have said here? You are wrong! Let it go already!!
Manopeace has a point. Well, thank you Andrew... this is the first time we agreed on anything! There is hope yet!
Give me a link that documents he killed millions. If he killed only ONE he is a threat!
Yes I disagree that "Saddam was a threat". Shooting missles at Israel does not count as a threat? Killing innocent Kurds does not count as a threat? I think you have some soul searching to do... OK... I agree tht the US should not be in Iraq today, BUT Sadaam was a threat.
Mano,I have a response for you, but it's off topic. I guess I'll respond to your blog after all. Gid, I am sorry you felt the way you did about what I wrote, I deleted the article out of respect for you and the others here that I hold in high esteem. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=cente
I used to feel a part of the 'In Crowd' Doc, but lately I feel totally ashamed to be in any way associated with this site. The hatred displayed by certain bloggers has reached new lows. They do not know when to stop their attacks, mostly personal, and are oten encouraged by others to continue with them. I always felt I could talk to anyone here, regardless of their political opinions, but it has become impossible in the past short while. You
Içonoçlast Learn the art of ignoring and blacklisting. That bugs the hell out of her.. mor than namecalling. If a klansman shouts in a forest and no one is there to hear it, was anything said? Don't lower yourself to her level, there is nothing lower than that.
I think you'll find in all most people like Manopeace don't really have a clue. People that do not have a clue do not accept challenges Baker... sorry.
Here is the official position of the Israeli Defense Forces from todays local press... Link We are at the moment in an election campaign set for March, lots of local problems to deal with... war with Iran is not a primary issue on our agenda at the moment. BUT.... if they dare attack us, that will be the last act they perform as a nation.
Most especially when you start calling me a moron. I do not recall ever calling you a moron. Your President yes, you, I think not.
I would expect better from someone who once was an American. As i expect better from the leader of the greatest country on earth.
WOA!!!!! Kingbee... you trying to put the klan and its supporters out of business or what??? if you take away the hyphen... eventually you take away the hatred that goes with it... might take awhile, but it will happen.
The difference is that Liberals are very secure with their beliefs. They work to make them reality. Sometimes they appear to be unpopular, but only because the media often presents them as a bunch of loonies. But in reality, they are the one that will bring about any positive changes in the States and anywhere else in the world. The Conservatives on the other hand are basically a bunch of mindless idiots. They have no solid agenda so resort to name
WOW! Congrats Auntie Cordelia.....
Great plan! Enjoy the rest and the dinner.
Rachel Corrie Rachel Corrie was a very dedicated Peace Worker that was literally murdered by Israeli occupiers in the Gaza Strip last year. They claim it was an 'accident'... it was murder! She never thought of herself as a super girl... just a Peace Worker. If that is something super, so be it.</f
