An ad for the Jonas Brothers?
I take comfort in the fact the dollars generated keeps MOG free.
Just saying it was quite a shock. Those Disney dollars talk where other dollars walk.

I’m not sure where to start so let’s just say when I picked up this flyer that was littering the streets of my fair city I knew I had to respond in someway.
Every last one of you is a damn fool. Your fools for starting such a group and your members are fools for believing your hate filled, race bashing, anti Semitic message. Seriously, get your head out of the 18th century. Wake up bigots, your plantation has been sold and subdivided allowing a synagogue to be built on top of your ‘favorite lynching tree’. Times change.
To believe that somehow a person has diminished faculties because of the color of their skin or because they worship differently than you, is beyond comprehension to me. I cannot wrap my mind around that one.
What is it that makes you so angry? Were you all thrown down the stairs when you were children? It had to be head trauma, because I don’t think reasonable people could come to the conclusions you have by using their intellect and good sense.
The flyer I had found is a great example of the hypocrisy and double standard you are using to divide folks along racial lines.
The 1st line says, "Do you really want a Black President?
Underneath is your CIA Factbook quote.
"Black ruled nations are the most violent and unstable nations in the world. Crime, violence, corruption, and disease run rampant in black run countries. (Source: US Dept. of State and CIA World Factbook)"
You guys just blew the money shot with that one didn’t you? You want everyone to know you are all about hate and not at all about the issues. I ran a check on your quote; it was a big surprise to me that it exists no where except on the paper I found on the ground.
I guess the big question is, So what if the President is black? What does that matter? What will a black president do that a white one won’t and vice versa. You probably don’t have an answer for that one. The question is more or less rhetorical.
The 2nd line says, "Do you really want a Marxist President?"
Underneath is your AP, Times quote.
"Barack Hussein Obama is endorsed by the Communist Party, ‘Hanoi’ Jane Fonda and Daniel Ortega."
I honestly don’t think you have any idea what a Marxists is beyond being a communist. Have you ever read about historical materialism? Do you know what dialectic means? Who knows you may just surprise the hell out of me. You say Obama is endorsed by the Communist Party, well this isn’t entirely true. The Communist Party is against the Republican Party so by default they support Obama. I‘m sure Barack Obama didn’t actively seek the endorsement of the Communist Party. I mean who would? That would be the death knell for any presidential campaign. But if you want to play word/logic games we could say this;
"Do you really want a Racist, Anti Semitic, Homophobe, Bigot President?"
He is endorsed by the League of American Patriots.
See how that works. Blanket statements that are not based in real fact come off as half assed and disingenuous.
The 3rd line says, "Do you really want an anti-White President?"
Underneath is your AP, Fox quote.
"It is ALL about race. Barack Hussein Obama is endorsed by Louis Farrakhan, and the New Black Panther Party."
I’ll repeat the same observations from the first 2 lines. I won’t belabor the point.
Since finding this paper I have visited your website to try to understand where you are coming from. While there I saw your requirement for membership into your group. In fact it is the only requirement. I quote your website here;
"Membership is restricted to adult heterosexual men and women who are entirely of European Christian ancestry."
If that doesn’t say it all.
Look, our country was founded by people fleeing from religious persecution. We are a country of immigrants. Sure we had slavery, but we fought a brutal and bloody Civil War because of it. America has paid its price and thanks to you we still are. It is folks like you who harbor ill will and you won’t let us get past it. Personally I want to forget, forget and move on to something better to spend my energy on. This kind of appeal that you distribute is just a waste of time.
While I will agree you are within your rights to publish this .. this crap, I will not stand by and let you get away with it unchallenged .
Tonight I will say a prayer to my Jewish messiah asking him to shine the light of benevolence and reason on you in the hope that somehow or someway I am able to ease the hate you have inside.
Sincerely,
Chris Heilman

ahhh...don't you feel better now after letting off that steam? ;)
anyone that would be effected by such a thing is beyond hope....so it has no value, as you know
there's a trash bin waitin'
No kidding I just got off the phone with a very old dear friend of mine. My guess is we haven't talked to each other for about .. well close to 4 years. Last time I saw him he was smoking a cigarette on my porch when I came home from work one day. Talk about shock. In that situation you get put on the spot to recount your life thus far since last time you met.
"How you doing?" was the question you can't prepare for. What do you say?
It was awkward but not 'not' enjoyable.
Anyway he tracked me down. He found me here and decided to mess with my head.
He's a dick but I still 'love' him. I do mean love in case your wondering.
This cat hung with me through thick and thin. He was/is a true friend.
My point is we made another connection with each other. He found me and engaged my world, I accepted him back and thought nothing of the time between us. It really was as if the conversation didn't end. We just picked up from where we remember and laughed our asses off in the mean time.
When we were younger I looked up to Eli because he had more real 'book' learning than I did at the time. He and I clicked I think more because he got to expound on thoughts and I was always willing to ask him 'Why?' Not saying that I didn't have the knowledge to keep up with him, it's just that I felt when we talked it pushed us farther than we were before the talk ever started.
"I'm a wave."
"I'm a particle."
If only you could have seen him bouncing up and down like a donkey in heat while shouting this.
Get you rear over to his page and say "Hey." You should do it if your looking for serious blackmail material about me. He's got the deep dirt.
You can find Eli here.

Yeah, I remember that moment...or at least its recreation(?) here...nice post, A friend of yours...
This is the other comment I had in mind for this post.
It sure is a lot easier to track somebody down nowadays. There's some friends from college that I found where they are but chickened out at contact. Your dark funk urges me to reconsider...

I've got a HoJo's ad, which is surprising since I thought Florida was the only place in the universe they existed anymore.
Oh no, HoJo's are all over NY as well. And my mog too so it seems.
Bring back the American Apparel ads!!
Yeah, less hojo more mojo!
