"Is there not an appreciation for the Jewish holidays? The Christmas holiday? Kwanzaa? All the other things that families come together around? Bonding rituals important to the strength of our society? Do we not care about that? Well, the American people do. And they want to shop for it." - Wednesday, December 12, 2012, House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on the house floor Headline split by staff

Comments: Why should a senior member of Congress give a hoot about an artificially created "Holiday" invented by a self proclaimed Communist?

I certainly have no concern for Kwanzaa, other than comic relief.

I can only speak for myself, but for once Pelosi is correct. I have no concern or respect at all for this fake, made-up nonsense.

If a conservative white college professor had invented Christmas, I´m sure the democrats would not give it a second thought as well.
Kwanzaa (the extra ´A´ added for the coolness factor, per the inventor) is a made up, trumped up, socialist farce that very few American blacks even observe. It offends the heck out of me to see Kwanzaa stamps.

Pelosi is correct about this issue.
I´d rather celebrate Festivus (sp) than Kwanzaa.

No, no, Nancy. I am concerned. I am concerned that a holiday dreamt up by a fat sadist (convicted felon Maulana Kerenga, aka Ronald Everett), and based firmly upon racist principles, is being shoved simultaneously down the throats and up the rear ends of the American people, by the likes of you.

Pelosi is playing the race card. What exactly is y-o-u-r concern for Kwanzaa, Naggy? What is it you want the GOP to do about this phony holiday?
Actually, never mind. I don`t care about Kwanzaa or Pelosi.

Somebody should send this imbecile a copy of Ann Coulters column regarding the origins of Kwanzaa. Of course it will have to be altered to appear to come from Terri Gross or Garrison Keillor to insure that Ms. Pelosi would deign to read it.

True story - leftist white co-worker asked a black co-worker what her family did for Kwanzaa. The black woman hadn´t heard of Kwanzaa and upon hearing it described said "That´s just nonsense. I celebrate Christmas and I´m not spending another dime on anything else!" And then she dumped on the MLK Jr. holiday for being a stupid day off in the middle of January after we´d all just been through Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year´s. I´d say more white people are concerned about Kwanzaa than there are blacks celebrating it. And Pelosi can´t even pronounce it.

"And they want to shop for it" - Pelosi
Ah, the Trayon Martin "hoodie" complete with presidential seal, would be the perfect Kwanzaa gift for that bro of your dreams. Comes only in XXXL.
Or, if you want to show him you really care during Kwanzaa, then a gold "grille" for your favorite baby daddy. He´s sure to flash that smile right through to the day when you tell him that he´s the one, again.
Last but not least, she´ll love the O carrying case for her Obamaphone. The Obama "O" logo on the case is encrusted with rhinestones so she can easily find it in her purse. Convenient pocket holds up to 3 EBT cards or 4 voter registration IDs.
Sincerest apologies to black radical & FBI stooge, Ron Karenga, aka Dr. Maulana Karenga, the creator of this separatist holiday.

It speaks volumes to ´liberal intellect´ that they think the Constitution is imaginary and/or pliable, but Kwanzaa is real and based on something other than (as noted above), the hallucinations of a convicted black felon. I´d remind Nancy that ´conviction´ was for basically kidnapping and torturing females, but we all know how imaginary ´gender´ issues are in what passes for the mind of Pelosi...
Look for San Francisco to fabricate a ´gay black´ Festivus celebration in the next few years...

Just to join in the celebration,..i believe all 2nd Amendment Americans should be able to carry guns on college campuses on Kwanza to emulate the racist violent gun carrying founder who was involved in a gun incident at UCLA...I think my deep concern for the holiday can be felt my all. Of course this will done after I celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace with a rousing singing of Silent Night...Now which holiday could bring me all that I want in my life?

Karanga or however he spells his made up name, is a convicted felon who teaches black studies in a california college. I read his text, which is the basis for course content of black studies courses all over the U.S., and it is something else! He first espouses collective action by blacks in every part of their lives. Even a landscape artist who is black, must somehow include a black theme, he says. The several principles of kwanzaa are mostly marxist. And when he was asked why he put a first harvest festival at a time of year when there is no first harvest going on anywhere in the world, he said, "because that´s when the blood be partyin...." And our local paper, the Erie, Pa times news, will breathlessly report on each day of kwanzaa. I scoff in derision.

kwanzaa is surprisingly like Festivus: - it´s a made-up holiday - there is a perpetual "Airing of Grievances" all year long, usually accompanied by Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. - kwanzaa celebrants are awed by "Feats of Strength," where the most notable career aspiration of kwanzaa-ites is to be a professional athlete - and the tendency of kwanzaa-ites to label easily explainable events as "Festivus miracles" - (e.g., the election of the Øtard) - the "aluminum pole" most often gathered around is one where there is weed or crack in it.
Yes!!! kwanzaa = Festivus!

Pelosi isn´t just a Demoncrap, she´s a MARYLAND Demoncrap! A member of the D´Alesandro tribe,whose father and brother both were highly esteemed in Maryland Demoncrap circles, Nan got much higher up the food chain than anyone could have expected. Her concern about kwanzaa is in keeping with the Demoncrap technique to focus on any flappery or shiney object that keeps America´s attention away from the very real, and potentially fatal problems swirling around us.

In the old days we knew what an a**hole was. A**holes are now teaching and running everything into the ground because, like the guys who never needed landing instructions and crashed their stolen jet planes into the twin towers, these people are not trained to finish anything successfully. Their talent is to p*** you to get your attention. So a**holes get off on seeing stuff like this in print and watching some republicans wonder if she could be serious. She isn´t, it makes her happy to think you´re dumb. In the old days the only appropriate comment by a reporter to such a statement would have been -- after staring her down and making her cry for wasting his time -- "Geez, that´s something an a**hole would say. Even the blacks don´t care. Say, we´ve got deadlines lady. How about telling our readers why you guys think you can destroy America." But there are no reporters. There are no questions. There are only stolen elections, dictators at the controls of all the machinery, and many many nice republicans scared she might have a point -- as far as the eye can see.

#12, my wife works in event planning for a University president. The univ. president asked "where´s the Kawanzaa stuff"?
My wife looked around but couldn´t find any items (the previous univ. prez was african-american who´d been to Obama´s innaugeration). So, we went to the craft stores, and none to be found. Even asked store clerk (who is black) and she had puzzled look on her face.
My wife had to make something because nothing could be found in the stores.

No culture on Earth celebrates Kwanzaa. Not even in Africa. It didn´t originate in anyone´s culture - as has been widely pointed out it was dreamed up by a violent radical black Communist. It is specifically and deliberately anti-Christian, and was made up to replace Christmas. The Democrats and Independents also lack concern for Kwanzaa, and rightly so. Nobody but the barest radical fringe - and pranksters - purchase Kwanzaa gifts, and I suspect the jokers are the larger market.

NOBODY CARES ABOUT Kwanzaa except black separatist racist and Nancy Pelosi.
There is no Kwanzaa in Africa because Kwanzaa is a fraudulent and stolen "holiday"...making it the perfect holiday for democrats and black racist in America.
The made up holiday and its tennants were stolen from the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) manifesto (anti-american terrorists, murderers and robbers who kidnapped Patty Hearst). The Kawanzaa creator is an affirmative action criminal and black separatist "Professor" Ronald McKinley Everett. Everett changed his name during the black power 60´s to Maulana Karenga, joined "Us" and charged with murder, robbery, rape, assault and kidnapping. Snitched for the FBI and ratted out Black Panther members to reduce his prison time. Upon release from jail was awarded honorary degrees and stated Kawanzaa "a social change organization which means "Us Black people" in protest of the white man´s Christmas...and admired by black separatist racist, Rev. Wright and his affirmative action church member Barack Obama.
Also, the reason this crap is taught in school is because it is a "social" holiday...not a religious holiday.

Swollen headed marxists like this one are merely power mad, greedy, and hell bound. It has nothing to do about you, except they want to control all people, like Satan has put into their hearts. I could stand a little diversity these days, like having a house fall on her, like the witch she resembles, from the Wizard of Oz. Now that would give true, holiday delight! Would love to watch that on youtube! Obama just likes to see the top of her head, while she pays her respects to his little bishop.

Kwanzaa or Festivus for the rest of us is a big holiday in my house. I just finished my Kwanzaa shopping. The crowds were terrible but everyone was in a Kwanzaa holiday spirit.
Happy Kwanzaa and Merry Festivus to all and to all a good night.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy.

"Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
