Barak Obama videos you might not have seen

I live in a one-party state, so thanks to the Presidential election 8 years ago, I voted for third party Presentational candidates fours ago, and plan to do so this year as well. So I'm not praising my candidate when I post these videos. The last video does feature an Universalist (if a Primitive Baptist Universalist)


See more Ron Howard videos at Funny or Die

Ralph Stanley is a universalist? Where did you hear that?

Every standard biography of Ralph Stanley mentions his membership in the Primitive Baptist Universalist Church. Both he and his brother Carter were "birthright" members.
His relgious songs are from the Primitive Baptist songbooks generally, and I havent made a study to see if there are any Universalist type songs (or if the PBUs use their own hymnals).

from Ralph Stanley's official website:
In addition to the many honors Ralph has received as a bluegrass musician, including membership on the Grand Ole Opry, he is also a Shriner, a member of the Primitive Baptist Universalist Church, and active in his local community, having served on the Dickenson County School Board.
