This paper is a study of major paths to frustration in the history of the Kenya colonial state from the early 1890s that confluenced into the Mau Mau Revolution of 1952 to 1965.

Our founders dresses in colonial duds, that was the fashion at the time they were also fighting to get away from a colonial power.

Have to spell it out, I guess.

It did make a lot of sense from what he says and does. The book the guy wrote explains it all. We are the bad guys of the world and need to be brought down to third world status.

So then my question is---who is going to send help to the rest of the world after each disaster they have in other countries? America is always the first one there with help. HMMMMMM?????
I think 0bama is more of a Fabian socialist.

A bust of the former prime minister..was loaned to George W Bush from the Government's art collection after the September 11 attacks, has now been formally handed back.
..
The bronze by Sir Jacob Epstein, worth hundreds of thousands of pounds
..
a bust of Mr Lincoln now sits in the Oval Office where Epstein's Churchill once ruled the roost.


I guess its just another example of Obama's Anti-Americanism; preferring an American hero over a borrowed British hero.

I guess he could have kept the borrowed Churchill bust in storage, but does that make a lot of sense?

We were attacked on 9-11. I smelled the burning bodies and saw the plume of smoke for weeks. I am 50 miles out of NYC.
Glenn Beck isn't too empathetic with the 9/11 victims.

Lincoln was the first Republican President. How ironic ....how the democrats who wanted slavery to continue now has the blacks convinced they are the good party. Now the democrats keep the blacks down by keeping them in the slaves ships of poverty giving handouts and taking their God given pride away insisting they are second class citizens because of their color. Always pointing to it like it is some kind of detriment. How awful. Playing that race card all the time. Keeping them slaves to the race card making them think they need advancement when they are equal.

I can't believe there are adults around who still don't know the histories of the Republican and Democratic parties.
