One Step Closer!

Mr. PFillingham, you hit the nail on the head re: Kuffar. Although my analogy likely not wisely chosen due to the violent implications, which may only please Kuffar.
I only take my valuable time to set some facts straight that were in the category of half truths to fulfill an agenda.
*NOTE* You say 97% Obama voters were black, and why he's Pres. WELL just so happens in the last election, % of Blacks voting Dem, 95% duh

kuffar,

Poor ever-raving kuffar, numanant is right. You are so blindly violent, seditious, and steadfastly anti-American, [now your hate-target is an elected President?] that it never occurs to you that merely by associating yourself with others you profoundly darken and diminish their cause.

Search your heart man, look at what you write, how you structure it, and what your final object really is. QCBUCKI is right. The more you spew your paranoia and hatred the more obvious it is that you will never be satisfied by anything less than middle eastern genocide.

An end to war, violence and racism is the last thing you ever describe. It is not your objective. Without something or someone to rail and fume against you are lost.

You don't seek merely to disagree with others to prove them wrong, but try to establish justification for their extermination. Yours is a pattern of thought which shunts your outbursts into exactly the same felonious mental class as the WaffenSS.

Why do you fail? Who do you think offers a better argument - an Einstein or a Himmler?

Believe it - you are no Einstein.. Einstein recognized that you do not continue a failed experiment repeatedly without indicating to others that you have entirely lost it.

Here's an experiment for you. Repeat the same ravings you recite here in front of any psychiatrist - and see how long you last before being offered restraints and medication..

OKay, I am going to say it!! It's in no way my style or normal conduct. This is a disclaimer OK?
We AMERICANS are fully aware of this country's history, heroes, martyrs, and, @Kuffar, even OUR DIVISIONS. How'bout you go hang on your usual sites that you promote Islamic genocide. Yeah? And you've the duhahs to bring up the West????? hahahahahaha
Get a clue please, see how polite I can be?
Not even you can distract from the joy, and hope and glorious freedom WE AMERICANS all feel today, regardless how you've overinflated your own importance. YEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Barack Hussein Obama is a comin" and am I thrilled.

OH BTW, Just saw a stat on cease fire going on over thatta way in the east, Jews 12 dead Arabs 1,200+ hmm, what's wrong with that picture? YES Juffar,or whatever that is wrong

So plainly a man of peace. You can feel it come through his words. It is bitterly ironic that we lose people that live non-violenty to violence.

I can certainly see how this event can be viewed as the culmination of a long and incredibly arduous journey for African Americans (I am hopeful that in retrospect it will be viewed more as a major milestone in the series of victories that will continue into the future). But one small thing has been troubling me a bit. I thought that one of President Obama's great strengths was that he was from a MULTI-racial, MULTI-ethnic and MULTI-cultural background. The message that he and MLK seem to have stood for most was not the ascendance African Americans to their rightful place as co-equals to any other racial and/or ethnic background (although that has certainly been PART of the message) but rather that a unity would be created where such issues essentially became irrelevant. I am so very pleased for African Americans that I don't begrudge them one second of their joy and sense of achievement and satisfaction. But we all know, of course, that he would and could not have been elected without the support of a broad spectrum of people from every manner of racial and ethnic background, plus every manner of religious belief (or non-belief), philosphical bent, academic background, economic strata, etc, etc).

My children came to me this afternoon and asked exactly what their heritage was. I told them that their ancestors were Swedish, Scottish, Norwegian, German, Greek, and Cherokee. They were slightly disappointed that they had no African American background (I couldn't have fibbed even if I wanted to, they are both blond, blue-eyed, and whiter than chalk). So I told them the foregoing. That they had every right to be just as pleased and proud as the African Americans they were seeing on television. This is a victory and achievement for all of us. The most important thing is to make certain that they keep this victory in mind all year, 'round -- not just while the inaugural is on television. Because if we don't work to make MLK, Jr and President Obama's vision a reality by treating our fellow humans with compassion and respect and by urging our circles of friends and acquaintances to do likewise, then all of this just becomes another dusty picture on the shelf. That would truly be tragic.

Thank you. King was a giant on whose shoulders Obama stands. Please let me quote from a close friend of Kings, Abraham Joshua Heschel, who was committed to his goals and marched along side him. He is the guy in the long beard next to King at the long march at Selma.

He was asked, in 1963, to join a group of religious leaders to meet in Washington by President Kennedy. His response, Likelihood exists that the "Negro Problem" will be like the weather. Everyone talks about, but noone does anything about it.
Please demand of religious leaders personal involvement, not just solemn declaration. We forfeit the right to worship God as long as we continue to humiliate Negros.

He goes on to plead for a concrete plan. That is what Obama has given us. That is why I want to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, and I look forward to a new year, a new presidency, and walking together hand in hand.

“You know, whenever Pharaoh wanted to prolong the period of slavery in Egypt, he had a favorite, favorite formula for doing it. What was that? He kept the slaves fighting amongst themselves. But whenever the slaves get together, that's the beginning of getting out of slavery.” —Martin Luther King, Jr.

I used that quote in a creative performance once. For me, it is one of the most powerful quotes of Dr. King as it resonates on so many levels. Perhaps the example of this magnificent story will inspire people to go a little deeper in thought. To study. To see good things that are just seeds and nurture them so that they can grow, thrive and then flourish. Doing this also allows us to see bad things before they destroy us.
Most of all, to listen to everyone who has something to say. Try to see their viewpoint. I believe it's called open mindedness.

As all other great men and women, who are here for too short a time, we only start to appreciate them many years after they are gone.

Thank you for this wonderful post.

There are a lot of architects to this moment, but it still is a fabulous mind-boggling miracle.
