  • “do you think those gals would be married to these rich rednecks if they where not rich”

    You should Google some photos of the Robertson boys when they were younger…they are a mighty handsome clan under all those beards. Papa Phil was a star football player when he was in school. Miss Kay was a cheerleader and quite the looker. Phil also has a Master’s Degree in Education with an emphasis on English Literature. There’s much more to the Robertsons than meets the eye. I can’t get enough of them.

  • Take your ummah and shove it!

  • The family that flies together, dies together. It may sound cold, but I’ve heard too many stories about families flying together in small planes who all go down together. Very sad.

  • That just sent a very palpable chill down my spine.

  • His original “thrill up my leg” comment was a slip and he repeats it here trying to minimize and mainstream it….as in “I meant to say that….does everybody say that?” And the answer to that is no…most people who are emotionally touched by something will say “that gives me goosebumps” or “that sends a chill down my spine.” Pretty soon we’re going to have newscasters come right out and say, “I get a ***** every time I hear that guy.”

    That being said, I get so angry that people buy the story that BO is from a poor family. His mom grew up on Mercer Island in Washington, in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the country. Grandma, who apparently single-handedly supported the entire family, was a bank VP. When BO finally left his mother to her sociology experiments in other countries, he high-tailed it back to grandma who sent him to one of the top private schools in the country back in Hawaii.

    During the 2008 elections I heard so many young people say, “I’m voting for Obama because he grew up poor like me.” I would reply, “So you went to very exclusive private schools and you were raised by a bank VP.” Grandma was the true success story in that family…not BO and not his over-indulged mother.

  • Governor Patterson misses the context of the great speech by Frederick Douglass. When Douglass gave his speech in 1852 the slaves were ten years away from being granted their freedom and they certainly had nothing to celebrate on July 4th, 1852. But Douglass realized there would have been no abolitionist movement, no effort to free the slaves, without the declaration in the belief that all men are created equal…the vision we see embodied in the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. Douglass became a staunch defender of the Constitution saying it was a document of freedom for all men, saying, “Interpreted as it ought to be interpreted, the Constitution is a glorious liberty document.” Now that’s something that Al Sharpton, Governor Patterson, and all Americans can certainly celebrate.

  • It was so great to see the large screened image of Frederick Douglass at the Restoring Honor event right next to the image of Lincoln. Profoundly moving.
