How Sad

As I predicted some readers of “Sacrificed on the Altar of Political Correctness” have attempted a response. I say attempted because their comments have not consisted of any kind of reasoned argument, just name calling. I have therefore deleted them. If you wish to discuss facts or even have a reasoned argument to present then by all means lets talk. If your first, second and third responses are to show your proficiency with profanity or you simply wish to base your conclusions on race then I will of course delete your response. Such responses are clear demonstrations that you have no interest in a reasoned debate.

Sacrificed on The Altar of Political Correctness

Before I begin I would like the reader to understand that I have great sympathy for the Martin family. Theirs is a tragedy no matter which way it is presented. While I have not lost a child I have experienced the agony of a 1 am call from the hospital telling me my 18-month-old granddaughter was dying and they didn’t think they could save her. Sitting beside a hospital bed watching for someone you loves last breath to come changes you in ways that are not easily explained. Thankfully the team assembled was able to save her and we were spared the tragedy. While I cannot say I understand exactly what the Martin family has gone through I can say I have a respectable frame of reference.
    That experience makes this column, in some respects, more difficult to write. Still, the truth has no agenda and despite what anyone “feels” they are ultimately responsible for their actions. The legacy of young Martin now will be nothing more than that of another political opportunity for the racial hucksters of the day. In their grief the Martin family has helped mightily and willingly to cement this legacy. To those who will call me a racist for pointing out the obvious, your name-calling is just another confirmation of the correctness of my argument.
   
    Sadly it seems that in this country, every so often, there must be a sacrifice offered to the politically correct crowd of liberals, democrats and their public school graduate/ivy league college followers. A recent example has been the U.S. military given up to the gay pride crowd. Today however, another sacrifice is being prepared.
     Within the next couple of weeks the show trial of the “White/Hispanic” George Zimmerman will get underway. Like the show trials of the old Soviet Union this will doubtless be complete with absurd amounts of political correctness, misguided racial hyperbole and overbearing concerns about “justice for Martin”.
     Those of you who are old enough or educated enough to know what I am referring to should be able to see the coming sacrifice of George Zimmerman. If you pay attention you can see the familiar patterns have already emerged.
     The mere fact that he was only arrested and charged after the racially charged outcry from political poverty pimps like Mr. Jackson and Mr. Sharpton should send the alarm bells of decent citizens and the judiciary ringing like crazy. Sadly it has done no such thing.
     The following fact has largely been buried by the media in its promoting of such a “racial” event but, police at the time had eyewitness testimony that Martin had Zimmerman on the ground and was beating him. They determined at the time that Zimmerman’s actions were justifiable self-defense and chose not to present the incident for prosecution. That is why Zimmerman was not arrested at the time.
     Two certainties can be gleaned from this. First you can rest assured this witness will be raked over the white hot, racially charged coals of indignation by the supporters of Martins family, the media and in all probability the prosecution until their testimony is either recanted or matches the prosecutions version of events. Second, your average public school/ivy league graduate will not remember, or perhaps even know, about this inconvenient fact.
     Consider also that the outcry about Martin did not come right away. It took the racial hucksters Jackson and Sharpton several weeks to organize their mobs and get their “outrage” together. It is a truism that timing is everything.
     Then who can forget the touching photo of a 12-year-old Martin the media foisted upon us relentlessly, even knowing then that the 17-year-old martin had grown considerably bigger and stronger. This was done by a media in hopes of a story that would confirm their running narrative, ie racism is alive and well in the good old USA. Have you also noticed that even after being called on this misrepresentation, certain areas of the media continue to perpetrate the hoax. In the minds of these media type hucksters the innocent skinny little 12-year-old Martin is the one killed by Zimmerman and the truth that Martin was a much bigger and stronger young man is irrelevant.   
     Then there was the whole “bloody nose” non-incident. The media made a huge deal out of a surveillance camera shot showing Zimmerman being taken out of a police car without “any blood” on him. This they claimed was shocking proof that Zimmerman was lying. What they knew at the time but chose not to tell you was that Zimmerman’s nose had been treated and thus any blood would have been cleaned up. This photo was used to further incite the Martin family and their supporters.  
     As a prime example of Democratic Party thinking, ie let no good tragedy go to waste, the media pounced yet again. In what can only be called an act of criminal proportions the 911 call by Zimmerman to police was drastically edited to portray him as a stalking racist. This had to be nothing more than another attempt to fan the flames of hatred. I suspect there were other intentions as well. Perhaps it was also an attempt to justify the outbursts coming from the Martin family and their supporters and/or a blatant effort to prejudice both the public and any jury that might eventually be seated. No other rational explanation fits the facts.
     Perhaps the best witness to young Martins attitude and state of mind is Martin himself. His life seemed, again according to his social media posts, to revolve around drugs and violence. You can bet the farm that the in the politically correct version of the Martin story the prosecution and the Martin family will do everything in their power to make sure no on knows just what reprehensible stuff Martin posted on his social media accounts. If, as the family maintains, Martin wasn’t a gangster, then he sure tried hard to perpetuate the image.  
     The Kenyan little Barry said of Martin “if I had a son he would look like Trayvon.” This is probably one of the only truths to come out of El Presidente for Life Barry’s mouth. Any son of the Kenyan would doubtless be just like his father, a racially biased, ruthlessly ambitious, the ends justifies the means Chicago style gangster. Like the Kenyan little Barry, Martin wanted to be feared for his aggressiveness not respected for his character or ability. His twitter account proves that.
     It is often said that the simplest explanation is the best. Despite all the racial hyperbole and political correctness swirling around this case the evidence seems pretty clear. Zimmerman spotted Martin. He made the 911 call and did as the dispatcher said, walked away. For reasons we may never know, Martin it seems decided to assert himself on Mr. Zimmerman. Perhaps that night, Zimmerman was taking the place of the kid Martin wanted to beat up from his twitter account.
     On the ground and being pounded into the pavement Zimmerman did exactly what any of us would have done. He didn’t call the police, Martin wouldn’t have allowed that. He didn’t try to “understand” his attacker, I suspect Martin wouldn’t have cared if he had tried. He didn’t apologize for being something he wasn’t, a racist, and he did not apologize for being where he was, nor should he have. When push came to shove Zimmerman defended himself. You or I may have chosen different tools to do so but Zimmerman used what he had. Someone long ago should have taught Martin that some times poor choices lead to very bad outcomes.
     There is a passage in the bible that tells us that those who live by the sword shall perish by the sword. There is more and more truth in those words every day. Looking back at an all to short, angry and much too tragic life, one wonders if Martin had even heard of the book.  

Tidbits

A brief look at some of the news you may not have heard about.

Your First Amendment Rights Are Guaranteed, Maybe.
What is it about the state of Illinois that produces such hideous politicians as Hillary Clinton, the Kenyan little Barry, Rahm Emanuel and the intellectual flyweight Senator Dick Durbin? On the news show Fox News Sunday the so called senator Durbin actually questioned whether bloggers or tweeters had first amendment rights. Apparently not content with ignoring the terrorist threat to this country, or spending us into oblivion to buy his next election he feels that anyone who is not working for an established news agency no longer gets first amendment protection. “We need to ask 21st century questions about a provision that was written over 200 years ago,” Durbin blathered. Following his demented logic to its further conclusion I suppose he would only apply the first amendment to those “official” journalists who produce news reports with a quill pen and parchment paper. If this mental midget had bothered to read the amendment in question he would have known that it does not refer to nor limit the means of expression. If he were capable of rational thought he would have understood that the first amendment was created precisely so that the people would not have to suffer the granting of the right of expression through some arbiter like, lets say Durbin. Lets be clear, this is just an attempt to censor what Durbin considers the evil opposition. 

 
For Liberals, One Benghazi is Not Enough.
    The Kenyan little Barry is determined to close club Gitmo. In an effort to deter those who would kill us as fast and gruesomely as possible, he intends to send some 90 Yemeni Guantanamo Bay detainees back to the terrorist supporting country they came from.  He intends to speed up other transfers as well. To those who have followed this story there is little in the way of a surprise here. Little Barry has been pushed long and hard by his political base to free the American murdering thugs now being given far more humane treatment than they deserve. Attorney General Holders previous employer, Covington and Burling, a private law firm, has given dozens of Gitmo terrorists thousands of hours of free legal representation. They have also been behind a series of sad sack stories trying to portray these murdering jihadists as just misguided, misunderstood poor people. Apparently blowing up innocent people is just another form of expression these idiots feel compelled to defend. The fact is, and both the Kenyan little Barry and his heartless minion Holder know this, that is according to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence 28% of all released detainees return to terrorist operations. Frighteningly, those are just the ones we know of. The actual number could be much higher. A prime example is that of Sufyan Ben Qumu. Released from club Gitmo its believed he went on to plan the attack on Benghazi. You know, the one that killed four Americans. The one that Hillary Clinton says doesn’t matter anymore. The only possible outcome of this rush to send terrorists back the supporting arms of their terror loving country is, big drum roll, more attacks on America and Americans. Thinking people wonder, how many more must die before The Kenyan little Barry and his evil henchman Holder are satisfied?

Hey Judge There Are Illegal Aliens in Arizona

I find the contortions of the liberal mindset both fascinating to watch and distressingly predictable. Witness the recent AP story Judge: Ariz. sheriff’s office profiles Latinos.

In this alleged news article the AP points out that Sheriff Joe arrests more illegal aliens than almost any other agency, or to quote the story “as Arizona voters grew frustrated with the state’s role as the nation’s busiest illegal entryway.”

The judge that ruled against Sheriff Joe Arpaio apparently feels that Mexicans crossing the border without our knowledge or permission should be rewarded with get out of jail free cards. He seems to feel that having succeeded in getting here no illegal alien should have to suffer the indignity of being questioned or arrested because of something as petty as his immigration status. I suppose in his world we should wait until they murder or rape someone before we inconvenience them.

U.S. District Judge Murray Snow issued a 142-page rant about how unfair it was to question Latinos about their immigration staus. The judge must have failed geography in college, since we know geography isn’t taught in grade school or high school anymore. I’m sure it never occurred to his political correctness that the state of Arizona, being the busiest crossing station on the border just might have a higher than average percentage of illegal aliens from, big surprise here, Mexico.

As someone who has actually read the Arizona law in question I would point out to his worship the judge that it does not allow for “immigration status checks” as a primary offense. The person who is being questioned about his status must first be suspected of some other offense. Liberals don’t like that provision but it did survive Supreme Court scrutiny. So, according to this judge either everyone in the Maricopa County Sheriffs department is a racist or they are all willing to act as racists at the behest of their leader, Sheriff Joe. How stupid do you have to be to believe that argument. I guess just stupid enough to be a federal judge.

The sheriff was also accused of ordering so called “immigration patrols” based on letters and emails from local citizens who complained about people with dark skin congregating in certain areas. I suppose it would have never occurred to his political correctness the judge that the locals in question just might have a better idea about who lives in their neighborhood than he would. In to many parts of the country large groups of men hanging around on street corners are known as gang members and, generally speaking, are up to no good. Having law enforcement show up and ask questions doesn’t seem out of bounds to me.

The attorneys for the small group of Latinos involved in the suit pointed out that Arpaio sent thank-you notes to some of the people who complained. Well there is a racist concept for you, thanking citizens for being involved in their community. How dare he!

The sheriff will doubtless appeal this ridiculous decision and if any kind of common sense can be interjected into this case, most likely prevail.

Sequester? What Sequester?

The Kenyan little Barry after having extolled loud and long the devastation waiting to be visited upon an unsuspecting public by the dreaded republican demon called sequestration, has changed his tune. Sequestration is now good for us. What a surprise. This new song and dance comes not long after to many democrats to name complained that there was simply not a single dime left in the budget that could be safely cut. There was they said earnestly, simply was no “fat” left on the federal budget carcass.

    Having finally, if only temporarily, located their missing spine, the republicans managed to stand firm on sequestration. Once the little Kenyan realized he was going to lose the sequestration argument he had his petulant little minions begin drafting planned budget cuts that would have the most dramatic impact on the public. The much ballyhooed cancellation of White House tours is a prime example. So if there is so little money left in the budget why is the government funding these programs?

     The federal government issued a $152,000 grant to study “voice therapy” for so called transgender individuals. Apparently having the public pay for these transgender types to look the part isn’t enough. Having the right voice they say is incumbent to being “accepted as one’s preferred gender.” Preferred gender? Really?

Not to be outdone The National Science Foundation has awarded a $2.1 million grant over five years for a research project titled, “Wild Minds: What Animals Really Think.” The following institutions The New York Hall of Science, the Institute for Learning Innovation, Hunter College of the City University of New York and a consortium of five regional science center/zoo partnerships accepted $2,131,193 of taxpayer funds. Apparently it is vitally important that we “understand what and how animals think.”

Speaking of animals, The National Science Foundation awarded a grant for $876,752 to the University of Iowa to study whether there is any benefit to sex among New Zealand mud snails. This apparently could help explain why any organism has sex. I could answer that burning question for them at half the price.

Despite Defense Secretary Hagel warning that sequestration would cause “suspension of important activities, curtailed training, and could result in furloughs of civilian personnel” the Pentagon has continued purchasing renewable fuel at $59 per gallon. Why bother defending the country when you can save the planet with “green” gas, right?

Finally, we mustn’t forget the garden. Just after sequestration went into effect, the State Department budgeted more than $700,000 for gardening services at a U.S. Ambassador’s residence in Brussels, Belgium. Must be one hell of a garden.

Federal dollars it seems have the life expectancy of a box of donuts in Michael Moores house.

I understand that even if all these programs had been eliminated the resulting savings would be a drop in the bucket compared to the federal deficit. Still, an example should be set. Perhaps I am just a simpleminded person but I fail to see how any of these expenditures, with the possible exception of the ambassadors residence, could be a necessary federal outlay.

The Kenyan little Barry should have shown some leadership by canceling all of these programs to pay for the White House tours. This would allow the children of this great country to see just how far crass, partisan politics and the ability and desire to outright lie with a straight face can get you. Then again, having decided that the world cannot do without him, he may not want the competition.

The Tolerance of Liberals

I confess. I have no liberal friends. It’s not that I haven’t tried. It is just that the level of intellectual flexibility or, frankly, dishonesty required to participate willingly in such a philosophy eludes me. I am truly thankful for that. Liberals I notice have a tendency to talk a lot but say very little. I have been listening to the left carefully for the last four years. I think I finally understand what you liberals are saying about me and those like me.

After four years of “leadership” we now have more Americans on food stamps, welfare and disability than ever. Because I dare to criticize little Barry for this stunning incompetence you call me a racist.

Because I continue to ask questions that little Barry refuses to answer, like why he sent thousands of guns to Mexican drug lords, like why he believes disarming law abiding citizens will prevent crime, like why he believes illegal aliens deserve our tax dollars more than the citizens that earn those dollars, you say I am a troublemaker.

For daring to think you are not entitled to what I have earned you call me a greedy, evil capitalist.

I believe that because I have committed no crimes the constitution prohibits little Barry from taking my guns. For believing in and defending my clearly defined Second Amendment rights you call me a terrorist.

Because I believe in the sanctity of marriage between a man and women and that human history should not be rewritten to satisfy a handful of militant ingrates you say I am a homophobe.

I support and defend the constitution and the plain meaning of the words written in it. You call me a Tea Bagger because I don’t believe that it is a “living” document subject to the whims of whoever holds office at the time.

You call me a threat to national security because I refuse to be silent about things that make you uncomfortable.

For daring to notice that little Barry and his administration has given hundreds of millions of tax dollars to those who gave money to his election campaigns you call me a traitor.

For pointing out documented facts like the Social Security Administration and Department of Homeland Security have purchased enough ammunition to fight twenty-four Afghanistan wars you call me a conspiracy theorist.

For believing that our founding principles are worth holding on to, have created the greatest country in the history of the world and desiring our country to return to those principles you say I am anti American.

Because I noticed that the only law enforcement review of little Barrys citizenship has found numerous and legitimate questions concerning the veracity of those documents and because I notice that little Barry has spent tens of millions of tax dollars to prevent his “records” from being made public, you call me a Birther.

Because I believe that morals cannot be “relative”, that some things will always be wrong simply because they are wrong, that Jesus died for my sins and wants me to be the best I can be while loving and helping my fellow men, and because I refuse to support a religion that mandates the murder of innocents, promotes “honor killings” and slavery, you say I am a religious fanatic.

Because they have all volunteered, given up so much on our behalf, some even giving all, I fully and wholeheartedly support our troops. For recognizing their honor, courage, faith and sacrifice you call me a warmonger.

Because I support limited, legal immigration and oppose the creeping imposition of Muslim Sharia law you call me a militant separatist.
 
Because I know 911 was committed by hateful religious fanatics who wanted to kill as many Americans as possible for the simple reason the we are Americans, I know 911 was not Americas fault. For this you say I am a hate monger.

Liberals it seems are very good at name-calling.

It should be clear to anyone who listens to what liberals say and watches what liberals do that there is no such thing as tolerance from a liberal. Like the Islamic faith, liberalism demands total, blind and absolute obedience. After all, when a liberal wants your opinion, they will give it to you and you will like it, or else.

Sometimes You Just Have to Share

Have you ever read something that just “felt” right? You read it and it just rings so true that you just have to share it with everyone. This is one of those. A friend sent this to me and I just had to share it. There is, I believe, far more truth in these few words than any liberal will admit to.

Wal-Mart vs. The Morons

1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart Every hour of every day.

2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!

3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick’s Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year.

4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target +Sears + Costco and

K-Mart combined.

5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people, is the world’s largest private employer, and most speak English.

6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the world.

7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger and Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only fifteen years.

8. During this same period, 31 big supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.

9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.

10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had five years ago.

11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at Wal-Mart stores. (Earth’s population is approximately 6.5 Billion.)

12. 90% of all Americans live within fifteen miles of a Wal-Mart.

You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the groundwork for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to fix the economy.

This should be read and understood by all Americans… Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!

To President Obama and all 535-voting members of the Legislature, it is now official that the majority of you are corrupt morons. Consider the following;

A. The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775. You have had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.

B. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get it right and it is broke.

C. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.

D. The War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to “the poor” and they only want more.

E. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.

F. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.

G. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.

You have FAILED in every “government service” you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars.

AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM?

I know what’s wrong. We have lost our minds to “Political Correctness.”

Someone please tell me what is wrong with all the people that run this country!

We’re “broke” and can’t help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc and in the last months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, and Turkey and now Pakistan ( the previous home of bin Laden). literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!

Our retired seniors living on a ‘fixed income’ receive no aid nor do they get any breaks.

AMERICA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without needed medicines, and mentally ill without treatment, etc.

Imagine if the GOVERNMENT gave U. S. the same support they give to other countries. Sad isn’t it?
