Obama's speech to the kidsMy apologies to Beck, Malkin & Limbaugh. They were right about Obama all along. I played his so-called "stay-in-school speech" backward at 33.33 rpm to check for any subliminal, socialistic messaging. Here's what I heard:
HELTER SKELTER; LOOT, PILLAGE, AND BURN; TAKE DRUGS; DROP OUT OF SCHOOL; LISTEN TO 50 CENTS, ORGANIZE A SOCIALIST TAKEOVER OF AMERICA TONIGHT WHILE YOUR PARENTS ARE SLEEPING; AND BE FRIENDS WITH VAN JONES.At least, that's how it sounded to me. I'll bet they never thought we would crack the code.
Mike, I know you think this is funny. I think the nut cases have history on their side. Anytime it appears that this country is going to actually move away from race as the most important political consideration in the electorate (the failure of reconstruction, the backlash against the civil rights and related movements starting with Nixon), the nuts are enlisted to save the rule of this country by greedy, frightened, in-competent white men. That is what is happening right now and it is critical Obama win his fights, especially the 2010 elections. Racism is an inherent part of this country, but if Obama can win on his issues (whether or not you think they are "progressive"), we can finally make the point that white male domination is no longer potent at the ballot. That will be probably the most important change in American history that has ever happened imho -- Ivan
