While our border is under attack, a lethal terrorist organization runs roughshod in the middle east and 94 million people out of work, many Americans try to enjoy their lives.
Over at Busch Stadium this evening, the St. Louis Cardinals, with Bob Costas throwing out the first pitch (he actually threw 2 of them), are meeting the Cincinnati Reds for the middle game of a three game series. The house is packed out for this midsummer classic of America's pastime, as it was last night when the Cardinals won 6-5.
Approximately 10 miles northwest, in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, riots have ruled the street in the aftermath of a black teenager of 18 years old having been fatally shot by a white Ferguson Police officer.
Many in this tight knit community, reported as approximately 65% black, feel this action by the police officer was unjust and nothing short of the murdering of a young black man. Folks in the community, who view the police in this area as non-representative of the people and oppressive, have taken to the streets in a described peaceful protest.
Nothing could be further from the truth. The facts never get in the way of manufactured crisis.
Obviously, I was not in Feguson and do not know what exactly happened. Like others, I hear eyewitness accounts reported, the police statements and analyzation of so called experts to form a basis of belief. There is no doubt, a life, with unlimited potential, was needlessly lost.
Media accounts immediately proclaimed the victim, Michael Brown, as a gentle giant, but we have later learned through police evidence released that in the time immediately preceding his death, he strong armed robbed a convenience store, assaulting the clerk on his way out.
Later, when questioned and perhaps directed by an officer, reports suggest he resisted and threatened the officer. An altercation reportedly ensued (you are placing your life in immediate danger when scuffling with police) which resulted in the officer fatally shooting Brown.
An autopsy reportedly showed Brown was shot six times in the front, with an eyewitness describing Brown was lunging toward the officer after being asked to freeze his position.
While the community labels Brown a hero, although I am disappointed his a young life was needlessly lost, I typically do not shed any tears when folks scuffling with the police are taken out. There are ways to deal with police officers who are operating outside their authority, and we learned those lessons from a true American hero; Martin Luther King, Jr.
The shooting will be fully investigated, and facts will bear out. I cannot imagine the officer sought in any way for the events of that evening to have these results. The life of the officer is forever changed, and may in fact be in danger. He was probably looking forward to football season, but now is in hiding.
In hiding not necessarily from the citizens of Ferguson, although there is that, but from race agitators who have embarked upon the streets of Ferguson, shooting up stores, looting and stirring up race tensions. The National Guard was called in last night, and that did not stop the non-peaceful protests.
Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, some real despicable folks who use any racial tension to promote themselves, are heavily involved in the Ferguson area these days, but not in other areas..
In Chicago, black on black murders are numerous, with almost 30 people shot dead there last weekend. Shaprton does not show up there, nor does Jackson, who calls Chicago home. In fact, these shootings are taking place in the hometown area of President Obama, who has done little if nothing to stop this, again worth noting, black on black homicide. It does not fit the narrative.
In fact, it would seem Obama administration folks and their progressive supporters, many of whom seek chaos and the destruction of our traditions, are fueling this flame. It is noted Revolutionary Communists from Chicago are among those outsiders attempting to instigate trouble when the sun goes down.
I noticed on film from last night a black youth, appoximately 17-22 years of age, shooting his way into a business to loot it. Under the law, this would be considered strong armed robbery, a felony which could net him 25+ behind bars. You are telling me that because a young man, fresh of a robbery himself, was killed by police, some dope is gong to risk 25 years on his supposed behalf?
Was a preseason NFL matchup between RGIII and Johnny Football that boring? Doesn't anyone have to go to work in the morning?
It is far time those who harbor resentment in this fashion come to some truths. The world is your oyster, even against the horrendous economic policies of Obama that are punitive towards you, and anything you wish can be achieved. The white man is not your enemy; period. In fact, the white man is among your biggest supporters, as black men and women are our co-workers, our friends, teammates, partners and customers. As a white man, our success is buoyed by your success. We appreciate your heritage, as we hope you can appreciate ours. While the public school systems fails miserably to adequately teach this, we fully recognize and are grateful for your contributions in forming this great nation.
Roaming the streets engaging in violence and property damage is not productive and labels you as lacking the adequate levels of intelligence, responsibility and character necessary to be a productive citizen. Responsible citizens, particularly those whose property was damaged, do not appreciate this from anyone of any race or creed.
There is talk of a national day of rage being organized. I would caution those eager to embark on this that it would appear to be in violation of the precedent set forth by Dr. King. If you wish to protest, separate yourself from the race baiters and interloping agitators and find adequate, peaceful avenues that exhibit leadership by example.
Enough of the lawlessness. I call for the immediate arrest of all those breaking the law on the streets of Ferguson as night falls, with the highest legal amount of bail placed in an effort to hold them. These "peaceful protests" can no longer be tolerated. In addition, the rhetoric from the chief in lawlessness, Attorney General Eric Holder, who is visiting on Wednesday, is considered sharply biased and invalid.
There is a crowd of folks working hard to tear America apart from within; an internal tear. They are succeeding.

An Avenue For Prosperity For All
America is being taken down from within. Quickly, and by design.
One the tools being utilized by those in power to accomplish this feat is by pitting groups, classes and races of our citizenry against one another. With the help of the ministry of propaganda, the mainstream media, the efforts have been most successful.
Race has been a particularly useful tool by the Obama administration, from the cops acting stupidly in Boston to failing to prosecute voter intimidation in Philadelphia.
Individuals who question the policies of Obama are considered racist. Groups who offer opposition are labeled terrorists. Vice President Joe Biden called Tea Party Members terrorists, and many of the low information voters lack the necessary acumen to decipher how incorrect this is. If you think these were actions of the past, just yesterday college republicans were turned away after attempting to attend a speech by President Obama at the University of Central Missouri. They were prevented from attending "for the presidents protection".
There are many other examples, but a shooting in Sanford, Florida provided the optimal platform for those in power to stoke the fires. Even though this event involved a Hispanic and a black, seemingly at the direction of the administration, the media, with particular help from NBC, the case morphed into a major race dividing case.
With local news boiling over in the immediate aftermath of the, I drew some conclusions based upon the information I had gathered. As the case has settled, with George Zimmerman having been found not guilty by a jury of his peers, after hearing the evidence, I note that some of my initial thoughts were off the mark.
Evidence to suggest Zimmerman was in any way a racist was completely absent. In fact, evidence suggests the contrary, most specifically noted by media reports that he mentored a couple of young black children. Also, evidence says Zimmerman did attempt to go back to his vehicle after being directed by the 911 operator, but was met and subsequently attacked by Trayvon Martin. We have learned Martin was a young man traveling down the wrong path having made several recent mistakes in judgement. The state overcharged he case, and based on the evidence, the only verdict that could be reached was innocent as charged.
It is noted that both parties could have prevented the event from happening, but tragically, that did not happen.
Although the state of Florida did not bring the Stand Your Ground Law into the case, leftist progressives have seized the opportunity to rail against the law and are seeking to have it eliminated. I am sure they are unaware the Obama, while in the Illinois state Senate, co-sponsored a bill to strengthen the law in Illinois. Hypocrite?
With the usual race hustlers Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson leading the way, the case has driven a wedge in between normally sensible folks. Rather than recognizing an individual is legally entitled to protect themselves from being mortally wounded, since Martin was black, the law seems to be readily discarded. It seems, as Pastor Ken Hutcherson says, many blacks have put their blackness ahead of everything, including God. This is not healthy.
President Obama, who self proclaims himself as in company with our great presidents, had a once in a lifetime opportunity to be Lincolnite and use his position to strongly enhance race relations, with malice toward none and charity to all. No such luck.
Obama has been divisive, attacking religion and tradition and encouraging entitlements, which tramples the incentive and spirit of many a man. In fact, a new poll from NBC News and the Wall Street Journal submit that race relations have plummeted since Obama took office.
Obama is crushing the economy through his policies, and the unemployment levels among young black men are at historical highs. Without the economic means to improve their lives, many young men in the inner cites have had their opportunities greatly diminished. Obama also cut significantly the voucher program, virtually eliminating another important vehicle for youngsters to better their educational opportunities.
In Obama's hometown of Chicago, black on black murders of young men is at a tragic and embarrassing rate. Although the bankruptcy of Detroit had been coming at us for quite some time, many of the problems that led to the demise of the Motor City center around the problems associated in the inner city black community. The demise of the traditional family in these communities is beyond alarming, and a central factor in the problems.
Obama has done nothing to assist the situation. In fact, in attacking the churches, many of which operate schools, vehicles of escape such as education outside the public school system and spiritual opportunities in the inner cities, have been greatly diminished.
Bill O'Reilly has had enough, and blasted all those in charge in a tremendous "Talking Points".
The problems in the inner cities, particularly in the black community, are seemingly out of control. Race relations are weakening among many, with Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder encouraging the negative discourse. Obama has wasted a golden opportunity, and unlike Lincoln, finds malice with many and exhibits charity toward elites only.
I do not have the answers to these problems. I think economic enterprise zones as championed by the late Jack Kemp could be helpful given crime can be controlled. Those in these communities could learn plenty and set solid foundations by embracing faith, reading the writings of Frederick Douglass and implementing the non-violent leadership by example, with respect of the law exhibiting class and dignity of someone they all claim to admire; Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
If America could get this corrected and headed in the right directions, imagine the prosperity for all.

Truth Evasive for MSNBC
President Obama and his staff have taken the extremely juvenile route of attacking FOX News, and as usual, if the actions were not so serious, the would be pure comedy. Obama and his operatives stated they consider FOX News to be an arm of the Republican party and not a conveyor of actual news, like the recent ACORN scandal. Anyone with a brain recognizes this as laughably false.
On his side of the ball, there actually are arms of the left masquerading as news organizations, most notably NBC News and their sister network MSNBC. You know MSNBC, home of sportscaster turned conveyor of hate Keith Olbermann and "I get a tingle down my leg" when observing Obama Chris Matthews. There are many others to name, such as Andrea Mitchell, who does not think left wing mega donor George Soros is even left wing and NBC News White House correspondent John Harwood, who marveled at Obama swatting a fly recently.
NBC is also owned by General Electric, and the CEO Jeffery Immelt holds a position on Obama's economic team, so you can bet there is fair treatment of the Obama policies by the NBC news organization.
MSNBC is the one who really distorts the truth. In fact, a recent example was when they were peddling racism among tea party participants when they disclosed a tea party attendee brought a licensed semi automatic gun with him, failing to present the public that the individual was black.
So widespread are the lies over there, they cannot even keep track of who they are speaking about or directly to, as evidenced by anchor Contessa Brewer. Get a load of this:
Obama is against FOX News, most notably Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck, because they are not only towing the rope for the Obama Administration but alerting the public to the thugocracy exhibited by and behind the scenes transformation taking place in rapid fashion.
Thank You FOX, for without you, in addition to presenting a fair and balanced accounting of the news, who would be sounding the alarm?
