WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

‘I thought it was required that a person be dead before they are memorialized’
A civil rights organization in Kansas has launched a campaign to designate Nov. 4 as a national holiday, commemorating the election of Barack Obama as president.
“The reason why I want to have this holiday is because it marks the day America grew up,” said Sonny Scroggins, founder and president of Bias Busters of Kansas, the organization pushing for the holiday.
Scroggins told WND (WorldNetDaily) that America has for too long focused on what our ancestors did during legalized slavery, but the election of Obama shows that we no longer allow race and gender to be the deciding factors in guiding our nation, but integrity and honor.
Referring to the overwhelming majority of young voters that cast ballots for Obama, Scroggins said, “The children, thirty-something and below, they put America on the right path, a path of liberty, justice, freedom, and equality for all.
“We’re not going to deny the heritage of America – it’s black, it’s white, red, yellow,” Scroggins told WND. “Obama is white and black. He represents the best of both worlds.”
Scroggins’ organization has now formed a “Yes, We Can” committee that will be meeting twice every Tuesday at a historic, downtown Topeka McDonald’s restaurant from now until Inauguration Day to work toward the goal of establishing Nov. 4 as a national holiday.
In a forum on the website of the Topeka Capital-Journal, however, many comments have scoffed at the idea of creating a national holiday for a man who hasn’t even served his presidential term yet.
“Are you freakin kidding me?” asked one poster. “A national holiday for a guy who hasn’t even shown if he can lead? He may be the president elect, but he hasn’t even proven that he has what it takes to lead this country.”
“I once thought it was required that a person be dead before they are memorialized,” said another. “Oh, but we’re speaking of the Savior, The Chosen One.”
Scroggins sought to answer his critics by telling WND the holiday isn’t so much to honor Obama, but to honor the progress in racial relations Americans have made by electing a black president.
“It has more to do with ‘We the People’ of America,” Scroggins said. “It’s America’s day. It’s more for us, as opposed for Obama. I like the fact that he’s white and he’s black and he can move race relations further.”
Lamont Lassiter, the general manager of the McDonald’s hosting the Tuesday gatherings, told WND the holiday likely wouldn’t be established until after Obama completes his presidency.
“We want to try to honor Barack Obama becoming the first African-American president of the United States,” said Lassiter, “and not only that, but also what he’s trying to accomplish.”
Lassiter told WND Americans should celebrate Obama’s goals for the country, namely “socialized insurance like Canada and France, he’s trying to have all Americans have insurance, he’s going to focus on the economy and he’s trying to pull our troops out of the war.”
Scroggins, however, who told WND he has been a civil rights activist for 39 years, insisted the holiday isn’t for what Obama’s going to do, but rather for what America has already done by electing him.
“I think about those slaves, the ones that lost their lives en route to America,” Scroggins said. “This is a happy feeling for all of us, descendants of both the slaves and the slave masters, because we are all really sitting at the table of humanity.
“America has finally grown up,” Scroggins said.
