NPR?! Seriously?! Great use of taxpayer money to promote bigotry! I realize that white Christian conservatives are the one group that the media seem to have no problem making fun of, especially if they make them “redneck”, but no matter how you look at it, this is wrong. This has no business on the NPR web site. Imagine such a cartoon of any other group?

Wake up America!
Obama Assumes Dictatorial Powers is the view of Clinton Democrat advisor Dick Morris, not a rabid, right-wing-nut drooling onto his bayonet as he shrieks about the Prez. I’ll admit mentioning these laws before Morris brought them up, but I’ve never advised the White House as a Top Democrat so maybe no one was listening.
Mr. Morris is a little unfair here, the President hasn’t ‘assumed’ the powers; Congress provided them and he simply ran with them. His choice, of course to run with them; he could have said: “No thanks!” You may have heard about this but I’ll bet you haven’t heard that some big shot Democrats aren’t too happy about it. Some actually seem to worry about the country!
The first is President Obama’s statement in open court that he has the power to kill anyone, anywhere, any time he (and he alone) believes they are a ‘threat.’ He defines what a…

You show ID for everything. You might even wear one at work, and they all know you! When elections are as close as they have been, the DNC does not wish to lose the illegal vote!!! The illegal aliens and dead people; making the difference for the DNC!
None of us have heard all the story yet about the death of Trayvon Martin. I am bothered by the push to label this a racially motivated attack by a white on a black. I am bothered that the photos of the 17 year old 6’2″ football player show a much younger kid. I am bothered by the assumptions which have gone forth which serve no real purpose other than to turn up the hate and racial division in this country and reenforce bigotry against whites.
It does display racism, racism against white Americans. I am not defending George Zimmerman, but I am saying people are quick to jump on something if it matches their world view or bigotry. Even as it has come out that Zimmerman is hispanic, white fits the story better, generates more hate, and that is what they will go with.
The attorney for George Zimmerman maintains that the teen was killed in self defense. A neighbor has spoken out in defense of George Zimmerman. Another witness claims that Zimmerman was attacked by Martin. The screams for help on the 911 call could well be Zimmerman’s. The police and the DA did not see this as a murder case.
This “Lilly White” town of Stanford is 30% black (higher than the FL average), 20% hispanic and 45% white.
Would we send an innocent man to jail to appease an angry mass of people? Isn’t that exactly what people say happened against blacks in the south? Is that justice?
Let’s wait and see what facts come out before people start sending death treats to the police chief or vowing revenge against whites, or Rush Limbaugh, or people who had nothing to do with it.
Some things to consider.
Neighborhood Watch is in essence security, and as such, the main way to stop crimes is to be seen. To follow someone you find suspicious or to confront them is not outside the norm by any stretch. If you follow someone, or confront them, and they attack you, you have the right to defend yourself. Given the nature of the crimes that had taken place in the area, it was not unreasonable to give attention to the stranger passing through. I do believe that these crimes had played a role in creating this mess. If Martin did attack Zimmerman, Zimmerman did have the right to defend himself even if Martin was unarmed.
Why Zimmerman had a gun I do not know. It should not have been his first, last, and only line of defense. I don’t know what if any identification Zimmerman had to identify his role. Neighborhood Watch or security is of little use if people do not know who you are. The Guardian Angels wear their red berets and jackets to identify themselves readily and to increase visibility. Again, visibility is itself a strong deterrent.
I am deeply saddened that Trayvon Martin was killed. I am grieved by the whole situation on many levels.
I have not made a judgement here, but emotion has taken over and we have a lynch mob ready to strike. We have people who much like the whites in Rosewood are ready to strike out regardless of the facts because it fits their prejudice. Racism is wrong, no matter where it comes from, and the handling of this whole situation is sickening.
Are we looking for justice? Are we seeking truth? Or are we looking to promote racism and division? Do we want equality, or are we going forward with Professor Bell’s brand of racism?
Will we ever move past race?
Let the facts come out, and judge correctly.
I’m bothered that the media, special interest groups, and some of our politicians have pursued and promoted the concept that the death of Trayvon Martin was the result of white racism against blacks. I am not aware of all the details in this case, but I do know that George Zimmerman is not white. His family has made a point of telling all who will listen that George Zimmerman is Mexican American. In their eyes that somehow excludes him from racism. It does not.
Anyone can be racist, and given that so many wish to attack whites and/or conservatives for this tragedy that fact is clearly evident. Meanwhile racist attacks against whites, which have been on the rise, have been ignored by the media or found lacking as hate crimes, regardless of how brutal. If we are to break free from this cycle, let’s start looking realistically at the issues and stop striving to create something that isn’t there.
Given the pursuit of critical race theory, that isn’t likely to happen, but the last time something like that was instituted it did not turn out well at all. I realize our schools and colleges do not teach Reconstruction history, but this is not where we need to be heading.
It is sad that this death has been drug into a political cesspool. Trayvon deserves better. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.
This is unreal!
Huh!
Breitbart TV has released yet another damaging video that shows one of Obama’s radical buddies talking about “white supremacy”. Video here.
In answer to an interviewer’s question about the white racist power structure, Ayers, replied:
“I mean, I think the people who practice white supremacy and who benefit from it are going to have to be stopped. And I think that’s a huge undertaking and I think it takes a revolution.”
It sorta fits in with the Derrick Bell, Louis Farrakhan, Jeremiah Wright Marxist CRTworld view that some would argue our current President shares.
But wait – “Bill Ayers was just someone from Obama’s neighborhood, with whom he occasionally crossed paths, and who did despicable things when Obama was only eight years old. Why does it matter what Bill Ayers says. That’s just guilt by association!”, the Media Matters/Fight the Smears/Attack Watch argument goes.
Because the American…
