Like many educated intellectuals in postcolonial Africa, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was enraged at the transformation of his native land by its colonial conqueror. But instead of embracing the traditional values of his own tribal cultural past, he embraced an imported Western ideology, Marxism.
I call such frustrated and angry modern Africans who embrace various foreign "isms", instead of looking homeward for repair of societies that are broken, African Colonials. They are Africans who serve foreign ideas.

The tropes of America's racial history as a way of understanding all things black are useless in understanding the man who got his dreams from his father, a Kenyan exemplar of the African Colonial.

Before I continue, I need to say this: I am a first generation born West African-American woman whose parents emigrated to the U.S. in the 1970's from the country now called Nigeria. I travel to Nigeria frequently. I see myself as both a proud American and as a proud Igbo (the tribe that we come from -- also sometimes spelled Ibo). Politically, I have always been conservative (though it took this past election for me to commit to this once and for all!); my conservative values come from my Igbo heritage and my place of birth. Of course, none of this qualifies me to say what I am about to -- but at the same time it does.

My friends, despite what CNN and the rest are telling you, Barack Obama is nothing more than an old school African Colonial who is on his way to turning this country into one of the developing nations that you learn about on the National Geographic Channel. Many conservative (East, West, South, North) African-Americans like myself -- those of us who know our history -- have seen this movie before.

Please stick to the topic of the thread. The question is "Why would you buy a book from Christine O'Connell"?
I understand her book is now on Amazon.com and is listed at around 3,875th in popularity on their listing.

She (and her handlers) must think the uber-conservatives in The Villages are really desparate if they want to buy her book.

In actually Bugs, I dont recall that question at all.

This is the first post of the thread.....

"I read in the Daily Sun that Christine O'Donnell is going to be in The Villages to sell her new book. Amazing that people who make statements like the following actually get others to buy their books. I cannot say for sure the book is ghost-written but I would bet on it - and uber-conservatives will buy the book and O'Donnell will laugh all the way to the bank. It's your money, guys."

You then allowed us a few quotes (with no links but assume they are accurate)

That, to me had NO question attached, simply a statement voicing your opinion. Did I miss something !!

The longer the conversation goes on, the more the usual speciousness of the liberal's argument becomes apparent. This is why the liberal is so quick to anger and then to try to steer the discussion or argument into an alternate direction to put their adversary on the defensive and thus gain some intellectual cover.

Did you miss something, Richie, when you did not see my question? Yes, you did!!

You missed the fact I had not had my second cup of coffee this morning and was not functioning on all cylinders.

As Agent 86 used to say, "Sorry about that, Chief".

When ya jump in the ring, it's ready or not Anyway, sometimes I just like to hear myself talk. Ask my wife (as she's rolling her eyes at me), she'll tell you.
