Obama’s New Civility

Dubya spoke recently by invitation at a small Christian college in Phoenix. One of the instructors in attendance wrote an article (that has appeared in NPR, American Thinker, Dallas Morning News, online forums and blogs everywhere) describing the gauntlet (of hundreds of protestors) attendees had to run to enter the building.

It was apparent the author enjoyed the speech very much.

“He spoke of the God-given yearning for freedom that is written in the hearts of every human being, reminding us that despite the sorrow inflicted by terrorism, the suffering endured from dictatorial oppression, and the pain inflicted by injustice, good will prevail, and God is good – always.”

(BTW, Obama should steal this from Bush for a future Libya speech, to all those of little faith…)

I found a few of the photos of protestors on the college site to include for your viewing pleasure.





I just want to know why. He’s not the guy in charge anymore. Why protest? He’s a private citizen now, speaking to other private citizens about faith, who have every right to speak, and listen, and attend an event without being harassed, heckled, and screamed at. Are they protesting that this tiny evangelical college wanted Bush to speak? Are they protesting the attendees? No one here has the power to make policy that affects these protestors. Why not protest where you can actually maybe make a difference?

Well, it’s OBVIOUS that the motive is HATE, an obsessive HATE, as strong as the day he left office OVER TWO YEARS AGO. He’s no longer the president, and the sick looneys still follow him around spewing their HATE and VITRIOL. I believe Bush is far more at risk for assassination than Obama. This is crazy.

Raging Against the Rage

I would like to announce that I will be Raging against the Rage.

Rage Against the Machine’s Zack de la Rocha is encouraging fellow musicians and fans to join him in what he calls a “sound strike” of Arizona, in protest of the “new” state law requiring police to enforce the existing federal immigration policy in that state.

Well, what does that mean exactly? No music for you, Arizona?

…And who has jumped on board with this? That would be: Calle 13, Kanye West, Spank Rock, Tenacious D and Sonic Youth. Earlier this month, Cypress Hill and Pitbull canceled concerts in Arizona in protest.

Well, that really impacts me. NOT. Like I would be attending their shows or buying their CDs anyway….tell me again, who? It sounds as if they could all really use the free press generated more than the concert appearances anyway.
