"THAT'S WHAT I THINK", DAVE PARSONS COMMENTS ON  "A HOUSE DIVIDED"

     

“A House divided cannot stand”  Those words came from President Lincoln.  Keep those words in mind as I read you some headlines I found yesterday….Make Sherrod’s speech required viewing in schools…..We must stop the white man and his uncle Tom’s from stealing our elections….The civil rights heroism of Charles Sherrod….Sherrod expose a triumph, better than acorn……..Obama derailed from his policy agenda by Breitbart….Obama hurt himself with Sherrod Issue Bungle…Why won’t DOJ let coates testify on the new black panther party?  And then there is this gem….Olbermann…Tea Partiers = Ku Klux Klan…..all these headlines…..in one check of news  …A house divided cannot stand.  The race card has been, is being, and will be played….by both sides.  The divide and conquer game is on.  We are under 100 days until the November election, and if you think its ugly now….just wait.  If I were a terrorist interested in hurting the US, I would just sit back and watch.   America is destroying itself…..no terrorist strike needed.  A house divided cannot stand….and those that want to see the downfall of this great country know it.  I’m Dave Parsons and that’s what I think for Wednesday July 28
