"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds." Samuel Adams

Those who are ignorant of history...


President Obama from 2007 speech in Selma, Alabama: “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they [his parents] got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.” 

Of course, the bridge march in Selma happened in 1965 and BO Jr was born in 1961. The real question is, which of the 57 states was he born in? After his recent comments about the Crusades and the Inquisition, and his comments last summer when he tried to justify the Bergdahl swap by referring to Washington, Lincoln, and Roosevelt, it has become glaringly obvious that our president is disfunctional when it come to history. He seems to mostly just make it up to fit the current need. One would think he would have someone on his staff to check out the facts before he utters them. But then again, what do the facts matter? It doesn't matter what the facts were in the Furgeson shooting, the protesters were still justified in what they did.
