About The Magic Negro
From Wikipedia:
“Barack the Magic Negro” is a satirical song by Paul Shanklin, which appeared on his 2008 album We Hate the USA. The song is a parody sung to the tune of “Puff, the Magic Dragon“.
The lyrics of “Barack the Magic Negro” refer to President Barack Obama (who at the time the song was written, was a candidate in the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries) as an example of the stock character of the magical negro for whom white American voters would vote in order to assuage white guilt.
The song was first aired on The Rush Limbaugh Show in 2007, prompting criticism of the show’s host, the conservative political commentator Rush Limbaugh; however, Limbaugh noted that he was not the one whom had originally coined the term in reference to Obama. The term was first coined by Los Angeles Times columnist, David Ehrenstein, (an African-American), in a column published on March 19, 2007.[LATimes.com, Opinion Section, March 19, 2007] A year later, Chip Saltsman, a candidate for chairman of the Republican National Committee, sent out CDs containing the song, also prompting a negative reaction.

Government gets money in only two ways: by force of law (taxes, fines, penalties) or by borrowing. Any money it gets needs legislation and a bureaucracy to collect it, manage it, and spend it. Horribly inefficient. Leave with the people who earned it and let them invest or lend where they choose.

George Gollin’s Liberian Shakedown Role Revealed In Court Docs
http://www.dltruth.com/attachment.php?aid=96
CHEA director George Gollin (George D. Gollin, George Dana Gollin) took part in a Liberian shakedown operation intended to drive a Christian medical school out of business when it refused to pay bribes, documents filed in a Los Angeles federal court allege.
Gollin, a notorious anti-Christian bigot and University of Illinois physics professor, played a key role in the shakedown directed against St. Luke School of Medicine, according to a complaint filed March 11, 2010. St. Luke students had an 88% pass rate on their medical licensing exams, an outstanding performance for a school in the heart of war-torn Liberia. But when the school declined to pay the bribes demanded by Liberian officials to continue its accreditation, defendant George Gollin designed and implemented a scurrilous publicity campaign to discredit the school as a “diploma mill,” according to the complaint.
Gollin claims to be an “expert” in accreditation, even though he has no background, education or experience in accreditation matters, and has never taught or taken a distance learning course. To promote himself and divert attention from his lack of achievement in his dead end academic career, in 2003 Gollin began stalking, threatening and harassing startup operations and small Christian schools that couldn’t afford or refused formal government accreditation. Although he was ordered by University of Illinois administrators to discontinue these practices, he then joined forces with admitted homosexual Alan Contreras–an adjudicated anti-Christian bigot and civil rights violator–to continue and expand his sordid activities.
Gollin’s employer, the University of Illinois, is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit. So far there has been no comment from the university about whether Gollin will continue to be employed there at taxpayer expense, or if he will be forced to resign in disgrace.

And we have another fine poster from the famous black university, the ghetto. But I can well understand your anger as you realize the gravy train you thought you would be getting from TMN isn’t coming and that once the fascist progressives are kicked out of office in November what little gravy you do have is threatened. But you can always change that as it is in your your power to do so. But I guess that would mean you have have to actually work for a living and take responsibility for yourself. Aw, who am I kidding.
