Well, I was going to start this out with "Gentlemen:" but somehow that doesn't entirely ring true as intellectually honest. At any rate, there were several around me that desired to know why I felt so strongly about the Zimmerman case. I had to step back and think about it to get oriented, but here is my conclusion. FIRST, I am extremely concerned about the future of our great country. The primary reason is that we are moving away from a citizenry of self-sufficient, industrious individuals that give a damn about future generations to a citizenry of lazy, lost, confused individuals that know only how to work the system and not how to work, and they have no concern for the well-being of their grandchildren. No strategic view or concern about the direction this country is heading. Further, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that our government can't keep spending and borrowing without the ability to repay. At some point, the bill will become payable and I am totally pissed that my grandchildren are going to have to deal with it. What kind of miserable legacy is that to leave our progeny? As each month passes, I get more ill about it. SECOND, in conjunction with the forgoing, the government - both state and federal - is reaching further into our public and private lives through ever-increasing rules, regulations and statutes. This dragnet of forced compliance is becoming more onerous as time passes and it is already too much of a pain in the azz to run certain businesses because of all the extra work, forms, and COMPLIANCE that is demanded by the gov. It's getting harder to make a buck and keep that buck - and it is a cancer that has metasticized and shackled the very business capitalism that built this country. This is a very bad thing and it does not appear to be going away. THIRD, where can we turn, as citizens, for safety from this government hyrdra run amuk? Traditionally, our courts. Our judicial system, while imperfect - as we all are imperfect - has at least dealt setbacks to gov. overreaching and occasionally set up barriers to protect our lives, our liberty and our pursuit of happiness. And our court system is the last vestige of civilized society before the populace begins to seek redress through revolution.
So I was extremely concerned about the Zimmerman case. I saw a prosecutor who bypassed the citizen grand jury and charged Mr. Zimmerman based upon her own politically motivated affidavit - an affidavit that I reviewed and concluded couldn't stand up to logical and rational scrutiny. Then, I saw the trial itself - I saw the weakness of the prosecution's case and became more and more convinced that this was an absolute farce of a proceeding - a farce in a public courtroom. (And I might add here that Angela Corey didn't have the nuts to try this case. What a big, greasy PUZZY. She tried to insulate herself by have two white dudes to do the dirty work and try to make chicken salad out of chicken $hit). Then we hear about the prosecution hiding information from the defense team, the DOJ sending down workers to help organize anti-Zimmerman protests, policemen and IT guys who didn't toe the party line getting demoted and fired, etc., etc., etc..... On top of all of that, we have that loud mouth $#$%sucker Al Sharpton blasting out ridiculous statements that have no support in fact or evidence, along with MSNBC and others continually misrepresenting the facts in order to incite division within this country. Ever heard of "united we stand, divided we fall?" That's what they want. That's what I don't want.
Hence, I was worried that the jury of citizens in this case would submit to government and left-wing pressure. Like the presiding judge. But they didn't. And that is quite refreshing.
So THAT is why I followed the Zimmerman case so closely.

If I see a black guy with a hoodie, his pants hanging off his ass, flashing gang signs, wearting a sideways hat with the sticker on it, smoking weed etc etc i see that as a thug. If I see a white guy doing it he's just as stupid & goofy ass looking as the black guy.

I get there are stupid reactions on both sides, but especially some of the "Zimmerman should die" type reactions make me weep for the future.

Ones like W. Kamau Bell, posting how racist this all is. Please stop spreading the stupid.

I think Trayvon, like most 17 year olds, thought he was invincible. He saw someone watching him and got mad. He decided to fight which isn't that surprising to me. I knew plenty of people at that age that probably would have done the same thing. It doesn't make it right though and we should use Trayvon's death as a lesson for our children that violence isn't the answer - that when you fight someone you don't know, you always run the risk of either getting killed or killing the other person. It is tragic what happened, but we cant ignore the evidence.

I kept wondering where people who claimed to follow the trial were getting their bad info. The media is really not helping anyone

George Zimmerman goes free, but tragedy remains - The Washington Post

That also is as it should be. Mr. Zimmerman could have done what police told him to do and stayed in his vehicle. No one would have heard about him — and Trayvon Martin could have been able to get home on that rainy Sunday evening.

this coming from someone who

But we think it was valuable that the case was aired in an open court before a fair-minded judge and decided by a jury that appeared to be careful and take its time.

but I will give kudos to the admin on making sure this was the story of the month. Anyone heard MSM talking about the IRS, Benghazi, Afg, Libya, Egypt, NSA spying, F&F or the unconstitutional delay in ACA?

No? Then it's working

You echo my sentiments perfectly!!! Wish this could be liked 100 times by each person for what that is worth. Post of the year nominee!


Saw a headline in an Alabama newspaper on Saturday. Went something like: "Cost of Remedial Classes in College Getting More Expensive, Cutting Into Grant Money." The article was about the "pitiful" kids that have to use "THEIR" grant money to take remedial classes in college. The words that stuck out were the ones pitying the kids, THEIR grant money, and HAVE TO TAKE remedial classes. Should be 4 options in the country after HS. College (if you qualify.....NO REMEDIAL CLASSES), Trade School (must participate and pass or see options 3 and 4), Military (4 years minimum, you can't hack it, see option 4), or Government Labor Service (i.e. if you want welfare, you will do hard labor).
