God Rest Ye Merry Opinionated Truth-Warriors

Got the following e-mail this morning from Citizen SHoPper Mark Nicodemo. All you whiny bitches, lookee here, it's a bgcolor=lightsalmon! Set phasers to "Leftist Whining!"

The e-mail was in response to my comments left on his post here. Looking for background information on Kwan-Jimmy? Citizen SHoPper, you've come to the right place!

Read on...

Being the opinionated truth-warrior that I am...
Dear Tio J:

Speaking of Kwan-Jimmy (hilarious, by the way) check out the first news post from a local university:

http://www.dom.edu/campusnews/

Being the opinionated truth-warrior that I am (lol), I sent the person listed an e-mail yesterday:
Dear Ms. Wright:

I noticed with some disappointment on the Dominican University "Campus News" page the post on "Pre-Kwanzaa." ("Pre-Kwanzaa will be celebrated daily from December 12 - 17 in the Library Link.")

Putting aside for a moment the oddity that a Catholic University would celebrate a non-catholic holiday (why doesn't Dominican also celebrate Hanukkah, Ramadan, etc.?), students and faculty should know:

* Its founder, Ron Karenga, a Marxist professor, was founder of the militant black power organization United Slaves. In 1971 was arrested for assaulting and torturing two female members of his organization.

* Among the holiday's main tenets are elements of Karenga's own Marxist beliefs.

* The holiday itself is geographically and linguistically inaccurate. Columnist Paul Mulshine writes: "Ghana and Kenya are on opposite sides of the continent. This brings up an obvious question about Kwanzaa: Why did Karenga use Swahili words for his fictional African feast? American blacks are primarily descended from people who came from Ghana and other parts of West Africa. Kenya and Tanzania--where Swahili is spoken--are several thousand miles away, about as far from Ghana as Los Angeles is from New York. Yet in celebrating Kwanzaa, African-Americans are supposed to employ a vocabulary of such Swahili words as "kujichagulia" and "kuumba." This makes about as much sense as having Irish-Americans celebrate St. Patrick's Day by speaking Polish."

I hope that in celebrating this "holiday," Dominican University will fully inform its students about its entire history.

Yours sincerely,
Mark Nicodemo

Before you start in on us with the unoriginal Leftist Degenerate gripes, no, this isn't the War-on-Christmas post which seems to be all the craze this December. This is simply another SHoP Oppression-of-the-Black-Man-by-None-Other-than-the-Black-Man post.

On a somewhat unrelated note, my parents were putting up their Christmas Tree yesterday at Old Fort Tio Jaime. I jokingly recommended to them that they "put up a Holiday Tree". Ha ha. Unlike you Citizen SHoPpers, they didn't get the joke. So I pulled out all the stops and said, "Fine. What you should really get is a Muslim-Exclusion Tree."

And lo and behold, they loved that idea.

And at long last, Citizen SHoPpers, I propose to you a long overdue nickname for your fellow Citizen SHoPper Mark Nicodemo... OTWMark!

[crickets audible="chirping"]

Well, screw the rest of you. I'm gonna call him that.

Jimmy-appointed nicknames have been around for a long time. See if you can find yourself here.
