NOTE, THIS IS THE BOG, DU'S BARACK OBAMA GROUP:
IT IS A SAFE HAVEN FOR MEMBERS WHO SUPPORT DEMOCRATS, BARACK OBAMA, HIS FAMILY, POLICIES, ADMINISTRATION AND EACH OTHER.
THIS IS NOT A FORUM, NOR A PLACE TO DISRESPECT THE 44TH PRESIDENT, HIS POLICIES, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OR THEIR SUPPORTERS.
BUT NOT HERE.

The Rest Of The World Tries To Explain To Republicans How Good They Have It Under Obama
By Rmuse - November, 12th, 2014
...First, it is noteworthy that most people living in foreign nations are more informed and educated about America, its government, economy, and myriad social diseases driving the preponderance of stupidity that produced the irrational results of the midterm elections. For example, where over 47% of Americans cannot name the three branches of government, people across the world can name the three branches and cite each party’s leaders in both houses of Congress. They also have a firm grasp on the tenets of the U.S. Constitution and understand Republicans and the religious right are on a crusade to restrict other American’s 14th Amendment equal rights with a high degree of success due to the Republican Supreme Court. Most Americans could not possibly name even one feature of the 14th Amendment if their lives depended on it. However, the Constitution is old, and it is the people’s pitiful lack of unawareness of recent and current information that boggles the minds of people around the world.
For example, most citizens of Europe, Asia, South America, and the Middle East, including Islamic nations, are well-aware that America’s economy is leading the world still struggling to crawl out of the Great Recession Bush-Republicans created. They are also informed that the austerity plaguing their nations, preventing economic growth, and driving more of their population into poverty, is a policy Republicans lust to impose on America despite the damage it continues to wreak on people and economies in many European nations. The Canadian, dog bless him, attempted to inform American imbeciles just how fortunate they are to have President Obama as their leader...
Mr. Brunt noted in his letter to stupid religious racists that “the United States’ gross national product growth is the best among all member nations in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The dollar is at its strongest levels in years, corporate profits are at record highs, the country’s adding 200,000 jobs per month, unemployment is below 6%, and the stock market is near record highs. Gasoline prices are falling, there’s no inflation, interest rates are the lowest in 30 years, U.S. oil imports are declining, U.S. oil production is rapidly increasing (and leading the world), the deficit is rapidly declining, and the wealthy are still making astonishing amounts of money.” After noting President Obama’s major economic successes, Brunt reminded Americans that, “Obama brought soldiers home from Iraq and killed Osama bin Laden,” but he failed to note the President resisted persistent Republican calls to invade several other nations. The Canadian ended with a familiar refrain from people around the world; “When you are done with Obama, could you send him our way?”
...What most people around the world have not said, likely to spare Americans further shame and humiliation, is that never before in American history has an entire political movement attempted to thwart America’s success as a surrogate for its President. Before Barack Obama was sworn in as President, conservative pundits were openly announcing they hope he would fail, and to make sure their hopes were realized, a cabal of Republican leaders and conservative pundits met in private and plotted a concerted effort to derail the economy. That is not, as President Obama says, a political party that loves America, it is a party steeped in racial animus like the gun and god crowd that cannot accept the simple fact they have no idea how fortunate they are that Americans twice elected an African American as President.

(Schwerner)... "He was described by family and friends as friendly, good-natured, gentle, mischievous, and 'full of life and ideas'. He believed all people were essentially good. He named his cocker spaniel 'Ghandhi' [sic]. He loved sports, animals, poker, W.C. Fields, and rock music..."[7][3]

I saw a video of Robert Reich, weeping after all these years, about one of them:
As a boy, Schwerner befriended Robert Reich who later became U.S. Secretary of Labor, serving as his protector against bullies...(Schwerner)...

The truth will out and out and out again. How much more does it take?
The people who burned down those black churches would be the same as those complaining about the war on Christmas now.
And don't even get me started on the little girls in the church that were taken from the Earth too soon.
Sick.
Thanks for the link. It gives some details I'd never heard before and this picture:

...Yet authorities said her 23-year-old son, Gary Fellenbaum, and Jillian Tait both acknowledged repeatedly hitting Tait's young child in a mobile home outside Coatesville, about 35 miles northwest of Philadelphia. Both face murder charges.
The Chester County district attorney described the case as "an American horror story," saying weeks of escalating abuse ended in three days of systematic torture.
Fellenbaum severely beat Scott McMillan for refusing to eat toast both Monday and Tuesday morning, authorities said. The "discipline" included throwing him against a wall, knocking him off a chair with a punch and then taping him to the chair to keep him upright for more beatings, police said.
As Scott lay dying Tuesday, officials say, the couple went car shopping, picked up a pizza and then took a nap. Fellenbaum later "expressed remorse" for Scott's death, police said.

Maybe the Torture Fairy did it, mom, not your precious son!
The runners up for Parents of the Year were also laughing while they did this, and had pizza and sex as the boy lay dying. And there were no drugs or alcohol involved:

I'm sure the "remorse" was only due to being arrested. This had been going on for a long time, hanging up the 3 and 6 year boys for beatings. Think what the cops see daily.
Does Pennsylvania have the resources to keep this vermin off the streets for life, or will they be let out to reduce the deficit, since we all know that taxes and prison are more evil than locking this pair up...
Pictures of everyone at the first link. However, the man's mother says..
