    Barack calls the children dear,
    “Come to me and never fear,
    For I love the little children of the world;
    I will take you by the hand,
    Lead you to the better land,
    For I love the little children of the world.”

    Refrain

    Barack loves the little children,
    All the children of the world.
    Red and yellow, black and white,
    All are precious in His sight,
    Barack loves the little children of the world.

    Barack loves me! This I know,
    For the public school teachers tells me so;
    Little ones to Him belong,
    They are weak but He is strong.
    Yes, Barack loves me!
    Yes, Barack loves me!
    Yes, Barack loves me!
    My teacher tells me so.

    Aaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmen

    Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of Barack;
    He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;

    He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;

    His truth is marching on.
    Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
    Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

    I have seen Him in the watch fires of a hundred circling camps
    They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;

    I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;

    His day is marching on.
    Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
    Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His day is marching on.
    I have read a fiery Gospel writ in burnished rows of steel;

    “As ye deal with My contemners, so with you My grace shall deal”;
    Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with His heel,
    Since God Barack is marching on.
    Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
    Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Since God is marching on.

    He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
    He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat;

    Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet;

    Our God Barack is marching on.

    Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
    Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on.
    In the beauty of the lilies Barack was born across the sea,
    With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
    As He was elected to make men holy, let us live to make men free;
    [originally …let us die to make men free]
    While God Barack is marching on.
    Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
    Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! While God is marching on.
    He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,

    He is wisdom to the mighty, He is honor to the brave;
    So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of wrong His slave,

    Our God Barack is marching on.
    Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
    Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our Barack Hussein Obama is marching on.

    For The Greater Good

    Overview: Marxists insist life is only about proper distribution of wealth. Only two classes matter: rich and poor. The poor are pure, but the rich diabolical, since they effectively steal wealth via Capitalism. Marx stated, “Landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed.” The government must redistribute money to the poor, since God doesn’t exist to protect mankind. Workers will eventually rise up to overthrow oppressive bosses. Marx said, “The rich will do anything for the poor but get off their backs.”

    After capitalism collapses, comes then socialism, but only temporarily. Finally communism is established, and all private property abolished. Peace on earth will reign as envy and war disappear when all people have the same status in society. Marx’s Communist Manifesto states, “The theory of the Communists may be summed up in a single sentence: Abolition of private property.”

    U.S. ignored warnings before deadly Afghan attack

    Bill Gertz

    Three intelligence reports warned that Taliban insurgents were planning an attack just days before this month’s raid on two remote military outposts in eastern Afghanistan that killed eight U.S. soldiers, but the reports were dismissed as insignificant, U.S. officials told The Washington Times

    Posted October 18, 2009 at 9:45 am | Permalink

    One of the intelligence reports on Kamdesh, released in part to The Times, stated that a new Taliban sub-commander in Kamdesh, named Ghulan Faroq, had been appointed and “charged with attacking COP Keating,” but no date for the attack was given. COP is military shorthand for combat outpost.

    The report also stated that on or about Sept. 29 or 30, “fighters in Kamdesh received a resupply of B-10 ammunition” suitable for use with Soviet-design B-10 recoilless guns that fire 82 mm mortarlike rounds.

    A second report stated that, around Oct. 2, a Taliban meeting took place in Kamdesh and that “a Taliban commander will arrive in Kamdesh soon to conduct attacks against coalition forces.”

    The third report stated that around late September, “a Taliban commander planned to conduct simultaneous attacks against coalition bases in Gewardesh, Kamu and Kamdesh regions of Nuristan and that each attack would be perpetrated by 10-15 Taliban fighters in each location.”

    “At the same time as these attacks, another unit would attack Barg-e Matal with up to 150 fighters

    NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Gaffes in federal reports this week about stimulus have called into question the government’s ability to accurately track how many jobs are being created by the massive $787 billion Recovery Act.

    The data in Thursday’s reports were filled with mistakes, including an error that made it look like a French vaccine maker received the largest stimulus contract, $1.4 billion, when in fact it has gotten an award one-100th the size.

    cosmos… using the qualfier ‘probably’ does not do a thing to mask your lie or your insulting intent.

    hiding behind semantics does not change the FACT that you are making accusations for which you have absolutely no basis or foundation.

    inventing motivations and stating them as fact is a lie.

    Koch To Fund Evolution Hall At Smithsonian

    Wednesday, October 14, 2009

    The Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History plans to open a hall next year dedicated to the story of human evolution.

    The nearly $21 million Hall of Human Origins announced Wednesday will trace 6 million years of history. It’s scheduled to open in March 2010, marking the museum’s 100th anniversary.

    It is being funded by David H. Koch, a chemical engineer and executive vice president of energy company Koch Industries Inc. of Wichita, Kan. The hall will be named in his honor.

    Koch was the Libertarian Party’s vice presidential candidate and has been a donor to conservative causes as well as educational, medical and cultural groups.

    There’s Limbaugh’s on website filled with what Limbaugh said.

    People who play football for a living flat out said they would not work for a living if Limbaugh were the boss. Limbaugh’s co-investors decided they didn’t want to do business with him.

    I’m a skilled propagandist. When I wore a younger man’s clothes I sold out to the Fourth Financial Corporation, Blue Cross & Blue Shield, the Kansas Lottery, McDonald’s, and god know how many other crooks.

    “Chas” –

    I think some CONs even believe the stuff they spew.

    They don’t think about it. Too much work.

    But they believe is some magic world that never was and think it was some lost paradise. They don’t know what they’re for, they’re only against stuff that make ‘em cranky.

    If anything, “Chas,” I think you over-react to WE Blog CONs. You get down in the gutter with them and that’s where they excel. “BlueJay” does that, too, and I think it’s a mistake.

    You’ll notice many WE Blog CONs suddenly have errands to do when I dish out a batch of whoop-ass on their idiocy. “okobserver” has “more important things to do,” or “HLP” has to “feed the goats” or something. “Boxlock20″ runs away to research his authoritative history of Thomas Jefferson’s presidency (from January 20, 1777 through January 20, 1781). “Regular” shifts the subject to his expertise of geology which proves mountaintop-remove coal mining is impossible. “Nathaniel” leaves us in hopes he can go out and shoot somebody.

    Dunno whatever happened to “Econ101″ or “MaxGrobnik” or “Franklin” or a lot of CONs I’ve taken on. But there are plenty of ex-CONs who’ve run away from WE Blog after encountering the Monkeyhawk.

    I’ll look for the URL but you can probably find it yourself. YouTube has the full 1960 live color broadcast of Mary Martin’s “Peter Pan.”

    For better or for worse, this broadcast — first aired in 1954 when Martin look a little more like a boy — probably shaped more Baby Boomers than anything else.

    Raptor,

    Are you arguing that if you don’t what a film is about, then nobody else can know what the film is about?

    If you publicly state that you would not “enjoy” a film that lies about what Al Gore said, and lies about the AGW issue, then I will admit that my 11:30 am “assumption” was incorrect.

    If you don’t, I’ll have to harass you and spread the word to your children in school. I’m writing a book, it’ll be finished soon.
