Do The Media Want A Race War?
April 6, 2012 by Chip Wood
SCREENSHOT
While video of George Zimmerman played, ABC News reporter Matt Gutman said: "Take a closer look at this video. We slow it down. No visible blood on his head or his nose or his clothes. We know he never went to the emergency room that night."
It’s no surprise that Al Sharpton and his fellow rabble-rouser, Jesse Jackson, are doing everything they can to stir passions to the boiling point. That’s been their modus operandi for more than 20 years. Does anybody remember Tawana Brawley, the fake rape victim Sharpton used as his first stepping-stone to national fame (or should I say infamy)?
But I can’t remember a time when the media were so eager to give nationwide publicity to every vicious lie and racist accusation. Forget about trying to get calmer heads to prevail or any of that nonsense about not rushing to judgment. The media want someone’s head on a platter (or at least George Zimmerman’s body in jail). And they want it now.
If they have to doctor the facts a bit to get it, so what? They’re willing to use some incredibly dishonest means to see that “justice” is done.
Do The Media Want A Race War? : Personal Liberty Alerts
When the question implies an answer that is wrong
This Blogger asks a loaded question,
Corruption. Third world countries are third world because of corruption. Look at oil rich countries with a few wealthy and masses of dire poverty. Corruption. This is not a matter of conservative or liberal policies. This is at the core a problem with SEVEN linchpins:
First, MS residents get 2.10 from the government (US) for every dollar they send to Washington. We as a nation POUR money into MS. Mississippi politicians are not willing to change if we keep sanctioning their activities by throwing money at them.
Second, there is too little economic activity... and too many people for the level of economic activity there is. Mississippi is an economic desert. It would be like moving 2 million people to Nevada. There's nothing there there. Most of the state is forested. 2.1 million people and no economic reason to stay there. Many should leave the state for better opportunities. I know that sounds cruel, but the fact is some places can't support the population and MS is one of those. I left North Dakota when I could no longer make a decent living there. Sometimes the grapes of wrath are important.
Third, most of the people live along the Mississippi river. Like a rolling ghetto. The rest of the state is very rural and not in as much poverty. This concentration of people has become part of the problem. Too many people with no economic reason to be there.
Fourth. MS is one of the top three most corrupt states in the union. That is not a fault of conservatism, that is the fault of a lack of outrage. IN a soft way, MS corrupt like the City of Chicago..except it's spread out more. The poverty is the same. When a few own and control everything, poverty results. This is not the fault of conservatives, this is the fault of a lack of wisdom. Like in Chicago, right wing or left wing, corruption depends on uninformed voters easily swayed by empty promises. This has been going on in poverty centers for a long time.
Fifth...the human capital quotient is pitiful. EVEN IF a job provider wanted to come, the human capital is not there. The same problem we have in Chicago. Lots of people unqualified and unable to do what needs to be done in the economy. It's not about education, People get diplomas but can't read. People get degrees but have no skills. I am constantly trying to hire people to do important work, but find a lack of capable qualified people everywhere.
Sixth. The culture. The high rate of out-of-wedlock births is the state’s single biggest challenge, because children born in such circumstances often are more likely to live in poverty and are more likely to drop out of school. The state ranks at or near the top of lists for bad health indicators — infant mortality, high blood pressure, tobacco use and obesity. High blood pressure, illnesses from smoking and side effects of obesity can be expensive to treat, and they can hamper people’s productivity. Less healthy people than other states, a very high rate of unwed motherhood are part of a self destructive culture that feeds poverty.
Seventh. Policies (not conservative) are sanctioning stasis. Mississippi has a higher-than-average dependence on government transfer payments as a source of income. The transfers are government payments to individuals through Social Security, disability, welfare or unemployment. It's a drug they can't get away from. Even if economic activity was somewhere else, they can't afford to go.
With cotton at an all time high, Soybeans at an all time high, High Chicken consumption and forest products being produced there is some hope. Yet modern agriculture doesn't employ as many as it used to. And people don't like to work on farms.
There is a hangover from days past. MS will never really be a great economic engine. States with less corruption and better human capital like Georgia will outbid the state for investment. As long as the good old boys have their hands in everyone's pocket...I'm not going there.
Don't blame conservative policies, they are the only hope. We just have to remove some of the things that keep things the way they are. Truth needs to be told. I have a heart to help the city of Chicago out of it's poverty trap by exposing the lies and liars that keep people in chains. They are in MS as well... just a different political party...
Mississippi: Why is the Poorest State the Most Conservative State?
I want to answer him...Corruption. Third world countries are third world because of corruption. Look at oil rich countries with a few wealthy and masses of dire poverty. Corruption. This is not a matter of conservative or liberal policies. This is at the core a problem with SEVEN linchpins:

Are we on the edge of an evil takeover? This bothers me
Thomas turned to Bill Gwatney, the chairman of the Arkansas Democratic Party and a close personal friend of Bill and Hillary Clinton, to pick a super-delegate from the Arkansas delegation to introduce her petition at the convention.
On Aug. 13, 2008, a gunman entered the Arkansas Democratic Party headquarters, walked down the hallway to Gwatney’s office and fired several shots at him, killing him instantly. The assailant, identified as Timothy D. Johnson, was fatally wounded by the police after a long car chase.
The Democratic National Convention began in Denver less than two weeks later.
Thomas said she also had approached former U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones from Ohio, “an African-American woman who had been campaigning for Hillary from the beginning to the end, and who never wavered in her support even though she had major threats from the Obama campaign and from the black community that she had better change her support.”
“Unfortunately, Stephanie Tubbs Jones died of a supposed brain aneurysm just before the Democratic National Convention,” Thomas recalled.
On Aug. 20, 2008, Fox News reported that Tubbs Jones, 58, “one of Hillary Clinton’s biggest supporters during the Democratic primaries,” suffered a brain hemorrhage while driving her car in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and died after being rushed to the hospital.
“We found it quite a coincidence that Bill Gwatney was killed the day after we talked with him,” Thomas said. “And just a few days later that Tubbs Jones died suddenly of an aneurysm, after she had agreed to introduce our petition.”

Another Historic First for President Obama
Barack Obama, America’s greatest president in his own mind, had this to say about the Republicans’ budget:
In the history of the Republic, has there ever been a president who submitted a budget that not a single member even of his own party would vote for? Zero. None. Nada. Zilch. 414-0 Another historic first for President Obama!
Say Anything » Another Historic First for President Obama! » Say Anything
the Republicans running Congress right now* have doubled down, and proposed a budget so far to the right it makes the Contract with America look like the New Deal.Really? Could it just be that from your perspective, Mr. President, your own budget was so far to the Left that it made the New Deal look like the Contract with America?

Does Obama Know How the Supreme Court Voted?
The storm that erupted yesterday when Barack Obama woke up and discovered the Supreme Court of the United States was not only not elected but it could overturn “duly passed” laws, even those passed in the dead of the night by the barest of purchased majorities, has been more than adequately covered on these pages and others by actual lawyers and those who think they are.
I’m pretty sure Obama knows what Marbury v. Madison is, even though yesterday he gave a darned good impression of being a total goober in regards to our Constitution. The simplest explanation is that he knows how the vote went on Friday and is working to change that vote, failing that he is setting the predicate for running against the Supreme Court in November.

“You will recall the incident of the beating of the black homeless man Sherman Ware on December 4, 2010 by the son of a Sanford police officer. The beating sparked outrage in the community but there were very few that stepped up to do anything about it. I would presume the inaction was because of the fact that he was homeless not because he was black. Do you know the individual who stepped up when no one else in the black community would? Do you know who spent tireless hours putting flyers on the cars of persons parked in the churches of the black community? Do you know who waited for the church-goers to get out of church so that he could hand them flyers in an attempt to organize the black community against this horrible miscarriage of justice? Do you know who helped organize the City Hall meeting on January 8, 2011 at Sanford City Hall?? That person was GEORGE ZIMMERMAN.”
5 Reasons Liberals Are Such Unpleasant People To Be Around
Don't get me wrong. Not every conservative has a winning personality and not every liberal is a toothache in search of a mouth to inhabit. In fact, one of the single nicest people I know is a liberal (Hi, Julie Joyce!) Yet and still, it's not a reach to say that most liberals, especially the ones that are politically active, are just generally difficult to get along with.
It's not just me saying that either. I've interviewed more than one big name conservative who has told me that they moved over to the right in large part because the other liberals they were around were such insufferable human beings.
Cultural Drift
Our culture is in trouble because we have made Sin an American virtue. Look around you, We are in big trouble because people no longer have discipline.
Pride (Too much self esteem) Everybody gets an A in School. No one Flunks. Everybody gets a trophy who plays
Envy (Wanting what others have) Lottery, lawsuits, theft, robbery, divorce
Greed (The love of material things, particularly over God) watch the TV Commercials
Gluttony (love of physical pleasure, particularly with food and drink) walk the street, go to a buffet restaurant
Lust (disordered love of sexual pleasure) PORN-O-RAMA and most TV. Last night I watched Castle on TV and found myself laughing at fornication. I repented.
Wrath (unjust anger) listen to talk radio (left and right), look at the recent anger over Trayvon.
Sloth (laziness, particularly the desire to be provided for without productive work) look at the people who demand financial bailouts by riot,
There's a reason these are called the seven deadly sins. They are murdering our culture.

The NY Times Quietly Takes Its Thumb Off The Scale Of Justice
Either the NY Times needs to tear out the front page or they have just delivered an epic fail. In either case, they have delivered a tilt to the scales of justice.
In a long attempt to detail the night of the Trayvon Martin killing they include this description of the fatal scuffle:
Trayvon Martin is consistently described as 140 lbs, although the police report had him at 160. The Sanford PD initial police report listed a weight for Martin but not Zimmerman; in retrospect, that will rank as one of the biggest blunders of their investigation.
I am serious - if the Times is correctly telling us that Zimmerman was roughly Martin's size, that changes the whole theme of the scary large man stalking the overmatched boy. Do I need links to document how widespread that meme is? If the Times doesn't correct this I'll link up [See below].
And needless to say, there has been a certain puzzlement about why a 140 pounder would initiate an assault on a 240 pounder. Somehow, a surprise attack by a 150 pounder on a 170 pounder seems a lot more plausible. Similarly, there has been skepticism abut how such a large man could really have feared for his life in a scuffle with the much smaller Martin. Again, one has a newfound sympathy for the notion that Zimmerman may really have been in trouble.

In a long attempt to detail the night of the Trayvon Martin killing they include this description of the fatal scuffle:
However it started, witnesses described to the 911 dispatcher what resulted: the neighborhood watch coordinator, 5-foot-9 and 170 pounds, and the visitor, 6-foot-1 and 150, wrestling on the ground.
To my knowledge nobody anywhere has ever suggested that Zimmerman weighed 170 pounds [His friend did on March 27!]. I would say that the low bid I have seen is 220, although some people did remark that he looked smaller than they expected in the infamous ABC video taken the night he was brought in.Trayvon Martin is consistently described as 140 lbs, although the police report had him at 160.

Those Inciting Violence Over Martin Tragedy Must be Prosecuted
The recent tragic shooting of Trayvon Martin understandably stirred up great debate over self-defense laws, citizen patrols, gun rights, and racial profiling. But despite the fact that the actual details of the case are still in dispute, several celebrities have called for a vigilante response. The question here is whether the right of Free Speech would protect these actions. The answer, according to the US Supreme Court in the seminal case Brandenburg v. Ohio, is Free Speech rights do not protect persons from words bringing harm to others. This is the topic of this essay, which suggests the USDOJ consider prosecuting these persons before the innocent are hunted down and murdered in the name of celebrity justice.

This has been a hectic week. Push, Pull, Run without rest. One week ago we conducted the wake for my father in law. Funeral the next day. Not a time of grief. It was a celebration of a life. The next day I stopped to see a dear friend who has ALS, my age, Trapped. Saying goodbye was painful..for him and for me. He can no longer talk. Wednesday returning 7 hours I was thrust back into work. Thursday and Friday planting with a crew. Working hard. Physical. AND I had to get a truck out. That was another can of worms. Friday night I served as part of a Prophetic Presbytery we started at 7:30PM and ended (with a lunch break) at 2AM. Everyone was prophesied to. BUT...that was a bridge too far. I was exhausted. Then Sat AM I directed a crew to do clean up, fix up at the church. Ending about noon I laid down for a nap. Then last night a previously scheduled opera concert in the city. Getting home near midnight, finally, I got a full nights sleep. This is too much in one week and I need a Sabbath Rest.

(CBS/KCTV) KANSAS CITY, MO - A 13-year-old high school student suffered first-degree burns after two teens poured gasoline on him and set him on fire as he was walking home from school. CBS affiliate KCTV reports the teenager was rushed to Children's Mercy Hospital after the flames ignited. Police say his hair and face were burned. The boy was walking home from East High School when he was attacked by two other boys around 3 p.m. Feb 28. ABC affiliate KMBC reports that Melissa Coon said her son turned from the school's stadium onto Quincy Avenue and noticed two teenagers following him. She said the teens followed her son home and attacked him outside his front door. "They rushed him on the porch as he tried to get the door open," she said. "(One of them) poured the gasoline, then flicked the Bic, and said, 'This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, white boy.'" The second teen then used a lighter to ignite the gasoline, which "produced a large fireball burning the face and hair" of the victim, according to a Kansas City Police Department report. "You could smell the burned skin," said Coon. "You could smell the burned hair. It was just horrible." Her son lost some of his eyelashes, eyebrows, and some of the hair around his face was singed. Coon said she knows her son is lucky - but also can't believe someone would do that to her child. The teen's father, 36, said he wants to prosecute the suspects. The boy is white, and the two suspects are black. Police are investigating whether this was a hate crime. Police are asking for the public's help in locating the two suspects who are described as being around 16-years- old. One was wearing a blue beanie, blue jacket and blue-green Nike Air Jordans with #23 written on the shoes. The second suspect was wearing a black hoodie and black sunglasses with silver on the side.

The man may in fact have an ounce of decency. I would sue him. That might be the source of his repentance.
