Bobby Jindal to Obama: "The Medieval Christian Threat Is Under Control."
Now. About the threats which Obama has permitted to flourish and fructify.
"It was nice of the President to give us a history lesson at the Prayer breakfast," Jindal [wrote in a statment]. "Today, however, the issue right in front of his nose, in the here and now, is the terrorism of Radical Islam, the assassination of journalists, the beheading and burning alive of captives. We will be happy to keep an eye out for runaway Christians, but it would be nice if he would face the reality of the situation today. The Medieval Christian threat is under control, Mr. President. Please deal with the Radical Islamic threat today."Speaking of this, you will remember that Obama said a couple of years ago he was happy that he would soon be politically free to drop #Truthbombs on the country and "go Bullworth." (Bullworth was a movie in which a Senator realized he was going to die and so began dropping #Truthbombs on Uptight Christian White America.) So when Obama -- supposedly the possessor of he finest mind ever to inhabit a presidential skull -- decides to drop a #Truthbomb on us, you'd expect this to be some pretty insightful, innovated, rock-your-world stuff. Nope! Obama has always been an intellectual lightweight and mental mediocrity, as evidenced by his complete failure to publish while nominally the Editor in Chief of a Law Review whose entire imperative was to publish. So his Bullworthian #Truthbomb consists of the idiotic crap of the kind you see in HuffP areas -- "But the Crusades." "But, but, Jim Crow." "Get off your High Horses, Christians. Don't you know something something monk on Cosmos?" This is not a smart challenge. I think I'd actually appreciate a smart, thoughtful challenge to my #WhiteBiases, for no other reason than I am pro-thinking and enjoy feeling my brain at work. But Obama doesn't deliver that; Obama delivers the same low-IQ, trite, Marxism for Dummies shit that all glittering mediocrities like himself traffic in, for they can not manage any better. Charles Krauthammer makes this point, mostly, when he says Obama's remarks were simultaneously "banal and offensive," and says further that these remarks are "adolescent." Indeed. These are the Deep Thoughts of the Fourteen Year Old. But I would go one step further. All fourteen year olds are not alike; some are clever and bookish and and full of interesting ideas (if not yet any wisdom). And some are rather dull-witted and just want to sound like they may be clever. And these slow-witted 14-year-olds tend to just repeat, in a twittering high pitched pre-pubescent voice, a dumbed-down version of Recieved Wisdom they've heard from "Cool Adults." All the "Cool Adults" the adolescent Obama knew were radicals and communists, and he has done far more pot than thinking since he heard these banal cliches, so what you're hearing is Obama straining to remember, through a pottish haze, what his dull 14-year-old boy brain heard from his communist benefactors in the late sixties and early seventies.

This shit is lazy and boring. One of the benefits of being mildly curious is actually looking shit up when you are smeared by association to things. In this case, us cwazy cons are learning that "no the crusades were not so bad" and so on.
Obama's god like mind is full of mush like his slurpee speech in the ditch and the mess we're in with the folks who got us in the ditch. Or the crusades Or you didn't build that.
It shows his arrogant ignorance and a moral compass that has no bearing. All he cares about is destroying Christian White America because thecrusades, jim crow, and um Vietnam. If it takes millions of 3rd world illegals to do it, then fine. If america's original sins are unforgiveable, then who are we to blame Islam.

But mostly he is enjoying very conspicuously doing whatever he wants at the expense of the fraction of America who work for a living and poking them in the eye every chance he gets.

And they're not even the shots that Obama thinks they are.
Note that both slavery and Jim Crow were highly controversial from the start and were ultimately removed by Americans (at great cost in the case of slavery) based on appeals to Americans' Judeo-Christian values. So for all America's historical sins, we're also a self-reforming country driven in large part by religion.

OMG. I was thinking about AtC's rant and when I got past the Susie Perkins part I started to wonder if it were possible to get Jindal manned up a little.
So I went looking for his height and weight and I found this:
According to a source close to Louisiana's BobbyJindal, the governor has gained 13 pounds over the past few months. At 5'10", Jindal has always looked slight; this is the first indication that, with the 2016 election on the horizon, he is looking to beef up.

Everyone who invokes "Jim Crow" as a big "shut up" to anyone who disagrees with the progressive agenda.
95% of people alive today neither perpetrated nor suffered under Jim Crow.
And, at its very worst, the Jim Crow laws were undertaken in relatively few places in this country, were never about killing people, and were roundly repudiated by a country that ultimately embraced the MLK philosophy of a color blind America.
Want to be treated according to the content of your character? Fine.
You think I owe you something special because someone dead, unrelated to me, once did something bad to someone distantly related to you? Suck it beoch.

It's the 25th anniversary of BHO being elected president of the Harvard Law Review. HuffPo excerpts the NYT piece from that day:
In the 1990 interview, Obama told the Times that he believed his election showed "a lot of progress."
"'It's encouraging," he said. "But it's important that stories like mine aren't used to say that everything is O.K. for blacks. You have to remember that for every one of me, there are hundreds or thousands of black students with at least equal talent who don't get a chance."
The profile explained that the president of the Review "usually goes on to serve as a clerk for a judge on the Federal Court of Appeals for a year, and then as a clerk for an associate justice of the Supreme Court." Obama followed a less conventional path, it seems.

OBAMA:
"Like the right to choose.
I haven't been challenged in those direct ways. And to that extent, I give the public a lot of credit. I'm always struck by how much common sense the American people have. They get confused sometimes, watch FoxNews or listen to talk radio. That's dangerous sometimes. But generally, Americans are tolerant and I think recognize that faith is a personal thing, and they may feel very strongly about an issue like abortion or gay marriage, but if they discuss it with me as an elected official they will discuss it with me in those terms and not, say, as 'you call yourself a Christian.' I cannot recall that ever happening."

The argument that Jim Crow has something to do with religion is a weak one, but it is an American phenomenon. He needs the religious connection and the American connection to get the rhetorical effect he's looking for, and since no single example will do, he had to conflate the two.

However, there is an error here:
"so what you're hearing is Obama straining to remember, through a pottish haze, what his dull 14-year-old boy brain heard from his communist benefactors in the late sixties and early seventies."
You've moved Obama's life story up by a decade and made him of the Baby Boomer generation.
In the late '60s and early '70s he was still a little kid attending an Islamic madrassa in Indonesia.
What you're thinking of is the late '70s and early '80s when he went to occidental and Columbia where by his own words he was indoctrinated into academic Marxism.
I truly believe that the communism of his mother and of Frank Marshall Davis only sort of rubbed off on his in a generalized non-specific way the way that little kids imitate their parents' mannerisms. The real intellectual poison came in college.

Strange that in the US today there are no living persons that were ever "legally" slaves within the United States, there are few, if any, living persons that were children of "legal" slaves within the United States, but there are slaves alive today in islamic countries based on an interpretation of sharia law. Yet the key thing that concerns Barky is Jim Crow (a Democrat gift that keeps on giving), with a subtext of reparations that need to be forcibly extracted from "whitey"!

It is in fact the argument that Ben Affleck and his fellow proggies tried to silence Bill maher with when Maher said that Islam is currently a threat. They retorted, "Oh, but Christianity blah blah blah 800 years ago!!", and that's when Maher went ballistic on them.
The argument actually rebuts itself, because if the best example you can come up with dates back to the Middle Ages, that means (ta da!) that Christianity went through a reformation 'n' shit, and no longer is the Big Bad Force for Evil that it's portrayed as in The Olden Dayes.

Everyone has said to him that he is so amazing and "transformational"---all the while meaning "we like to give you things because you are black" (well, black-ish, if he was too black, they would be outright scared and ask him to fuck their wives in front of them).

That is the thing, isn't it? We have all these damned apologists for Islam telling us it's such a peaceful religion, and yet they don't know the first thing about what it's texts actually say, what Muhammad actually taught, or what his life was like.
Of course, this leads into the bigger problem for the West: Postmodern secularism is not going to defeat radical Islam. Not philosophically, anyhow. "You don't have to believe in God, and anyhow, just look at the stuff where Muhammad talked about charity and being nice, that's all you really need." That's a toothless mindset, completely lacking any anchoring to reality, spiritual or otherwise, and will do nothing to convince people that killing in the name of God is a bad idea.
Unfortunately, we've decided as a civilization, at least at the highest levels, that evangelism and conversion are awful things, especially if it comes from Christianity, so the best thing to do is just spread the gospel of progressivism and hope that Islam defangs itself.

One point about Christianity, apparently always omitted, is that CHRISTIANITY REFORMED ITSELF for internally developed reasons, and not because some other group had already achieved such reform, and or pointed at Christianity.
