According to the Raw Story, a progressive website, two Pearl, Mississippi teenagers were arrested after filming an incident involving law enforcement officers.
Terrell and Shenell Madison, twin age 19 were both arrested after a confrontation involving police. Terrell filmed the police while they were in the middle of gunfire. They are facing disorderly conduct.
The unwritten code of law enforcement. Intimidate. Write off. Never acknowledge a mistake. Avoid the media scrutiny. Protect your "family". By which family means you and your fellow law enforcement officers.
The Blue Code of Silence (also known as the "Blue Shield") is an unwritten rule among police
officers not to report on another colleague's errors, misconducts or
crimes. Other names associated with the Blue Code of Silence are the
Blue Wall, Curtain, Veil, or Cocoon. If questioned about an incident of
misconduct involving another officer (e.g. during the course of an
official inquiry), while following the Blue Code of Silence, the officer
being questioned would claim ignorance of another officer's wrongdoing.
Some police officers enforce a tribal value system also known as an
emotional value system which is considered to be a "police family" or
"police brotherhood". The tribal value system is a part of the Blue Code
of Silence. Members of the tribal system generally receive emotional
support and security from other police officers. The Blue Code of
Silence is considered to be controversial because it questions ethics
and values in law enforcement. In some cases, many police officers have been pressured into following the Blue Code of Silence.

Jay-Z And His Nigger Nets Basketball Team Says The New York Post!
Sending our condolences to the Beastie Boys founding member/producer Adam "MCA" Yauch.
The writer made the claim that:
Jay-Z the rap mogul has a part ownership in the NBA's Brooklyn Nets. |
We're experiencing a moral deficit.
News Corporation, Incorporated the hub to 20th Century Fox, Sky News Network, Fox News, Fox Network, My Network TV, Wall Street Journal, and the New York Post is under fire.
The media conglomerate is under investigation in the United Kingdom's phone hacking scandal. Chairman Rupert Murdoch is under fire over in the UK as well as the United States.
Murdoch's most successful and yet most controversial outlets Fox, Fox News (and Fox Business Network) and the New York Post have pushed the bar even lower when it comes to decency and public standards.
Fox programs include hit programs like The Simpsons, American Idol, Family Guy, Glee and the New Girl.
The Fox News Channel is America's most watched cable news network. It's star talent includes conservatives such as Bill O'Reilly, Greta Van Susteren, Megyn Kelly, Sean Hannity and Neil Cuvato. The network has popularized the key phrases "Fair and Balanced" and "We Report You Decide" under the mantra of the American flag.
The New York Post is similar to the New York Daily News. It's kind of like a gossip rag with sensational stories you'll only find with conservative agitators like Matt Drudge and Michelle Malkin. Well according the liberal-leaning news agitator Newser, a writer for the Post wrote something offensive about rapper Jay-Z.
The Nets is a NBA professional team that operates out of Newark, New Jersey. The rap mogul Jay-Z, born Shawn Carter, 42 has an ownership in the struggling team. What the rapper and business executives decided to move the team to Brooklyn, New York, the Post columnist wanted to share his "lyrics without a beat!"
The writer made the claim that:
As long as the Nets are allowing Jay-Z to call their marketing shots — what a shock that he chose black and white as the new team colors to stress, as the Nets explained, their new “urban” home — why not have him apply the full Jay-Z treatment?
Why the Brooklyn Nets when they can be the New York N------s? The cheerleaders could be the Brooklyn B----hes or Hoes. Team logo? A 9 mm with hollow-tip shell casings strewn beneath. Wanna be Jay-Z hip? Then go all the way!
Now, we are aware of the controversy by rapper Jay-Z. He's was once a former drug dealer who took the advantage of his life to pick up a microphone and rap to a beat. Jay-Z is a very wealthy man. Beside his 15 albums, Jay-Z was once the co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, a vanity label credited to the success of rapper/producer Kanye West. Jay-Z also married longtime girlfriend, pop singer Beyonce Knowles. In 2012, the rapper announced that he and Beyonce Knowles are proud parents of his first child.
As he branches out into other venues with his own start up label Roc Nation, he's also invested in partnership with an upscale nightclub, an alcoholic beverage company, the rap mogul wanted to participate in an ownership of a NBA basketball team.
I am assuming that the New York Post writer was upset that the rap mogul owns a basketball team.
Phil Mushnick wonders probably why a controversial talk radio host can't own a football team but a rapper can?
Once again, I stress this. Conservatives are trying to defeat President Barack Obama. The president's allies, Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles are in the crosshairs of conservative agitation. Anyone who is associated to President Barack Obama will be a target of Republicans and its soon to be presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
Jay-Z and Beyonce are a fairy tale couple that does have a share of controversy.
The Republicans and its allies in the conservative movement are looking to find anything that amounts to what this controversial talk radio host said about a private citizen who became the public figure of the women's rights movement.
This controversial talk radio host is Rush Limbaugh and the comments he's made in the past years have finally taken a toll. Activists are calling for his advertising to be pulled and they've been successful in having over 150 national companies pulled.
To make a negative connotation to hip-hop is one thing, but for a white guy who has no understanding of the art of hip-hop, is pretty much the reasons why conservatives are out of touch with society itself.

Scholars have long drawn parallels between laws banning interracial and same-sex marriage. The conversation came full circle Monday morning when Jodie Brunstetter, wife of North Carolina Senator Peter Brunstetter (R), explained that her husband co-authored a recent piece of anti-same-sex marriage legislation to “protect the Caucasian race.” Brunstetter continued, “The reason my husband wrote Amendment 1 was because the Caucasian race is diminishing and we need to uh, reproduce.” Placing “race reproduction” at the center of her argument, Brunstetter advocates for a positive eugenics program, a central element of traditional anti-miscegenation statues.

Don't Vote For The Nigger Says Georgia Bar Owner (At Least On His Road Sign)!
Not the first time bar owner's sign causing a stir. |
In the state of Georgia, Patrick Lanzo the owner of Georgia Peach Oyster Bar puts out a sign that is an eye grabber.
Matter of fact, it's getting major attention.
In what could be another racial themed insult on President Barack Obama, many conservatives are making an attempt to discount the president as inferior, in turn they undermine the Black vote.
On the sign it reads, "i Do Not Support The Nigger In The White House" (sic).
Lanzo denies he's a racist. But asked to why he puts up such a controversial sign the owner acknowledges that it could touch off a firestorm.
A few years ago, this same owner caused some ire among the NAACP and others when he protested the racial slur to the road sign in protest of the 2010 American Health Care Law. Lanzo once claimed he was a member of the civil rights organziation.

What is troubling is these people are going to make another attempt to play upon racial fears of Blacks.
What is troubling is the Republicans never bat an eyelash when one of their own is caught doing something that is deemed extreme. There may be some who look at this as an isolated incident, but if it wasn't for news agitators like Huffington Post, Newser, Buzzfeed and Newsone, these incidents could have been ignored.
While these assholes are entitled to their opinion. This incident as well as many others have consequences.
You look at the economic food chain. When a person or a group is offended by an action by an individual, they look upon this an attack not only on the person but the group itself. And in turn this what drives the sensationalism.
A birth control advocate by the name of Sandra Fluke for example. The Democratic Party wanted to debate the concerns of religious leaders who were opposed to a portion of the 2010 American Health Care law. They asked the Georgetown University student to testify in favor of the mandate that requires religious institutions that employ workers to have contraception accessibility. When Congressman Darrell Issa (R-California) denied her to testify, that created a firestorm. What was more troubling, the Republicans subpoena men to Congress to testify against contraception. When Congressman Issa finally allowed Sandra Fluke to testify, it became a major controversy when Sandra Fluke was called a slut by radio host Rush Limbaugh and mocked as a "lesbian" subliminally by Monica Crowley through her Twitter page. Instead of focusing on the issues that were a concern to Sandra Fluke, these two prominent conservatives made this a personal issue in which it affected a group. Now women are upset with Limbaugh and they managed to hurt him in revenue by boycotting his program. Crowley a woman herself, was forced to apologize for her remarks. President Barack Obama called Sandra Fluke to express his support of her.
Black teenager Trayvon Martin was killed by George Zimmerman, a White
See these incidents are a sign of the strategy Republicans are playing.
What is the most troubling is the Black community is always provoked by White conservative men. The Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement are wrapping their asses and eventually their necks around the American flag in preparedness (or defense) of these ridiculous culture wars. Conservatives harbor bigoted views towards race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, political and economic standings.
The progressives (liberals) seem to label conservatives as racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, overreaching, condescending, morons with pain inducing rants that cater to extremists.
They never tell you that one! You see that every time a conservative complains about President Barack Obama or the Black community in general, the word salad usually includes:
Now tell me if you haven't read or heard this from a conservative Republican or a conservative who votes Democrat.[Blacks] aren't capable of solving problems. They're always creating turmoil! They are fixated on blaming their faults on the White man! They are always screaming racism! They're always taking from hard working [Whites] by staying on welfare and food stamps. [Blacks] are the ones who are really racist! You see how Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Eric Holder and Barack Obama defend the [New] Black Panthers. They rather give Black racists (and criminals) a pass but accuse Republicans and conservatives of being racist themselves. There are so many incidents that involved black on white crime, it's unbelievable. This stuff is never reported in the 'liberal media'. White women are raped by [Black] males everyday! They never report this stuff. When Blacks claim a crime was committed by a White person, they are causing trouble by lying about these so-called crimes to seek attention! You never hear about this stuff because Blacks are so in love with Obama. Because the Blacks are so fixated on trying to keep their "brotha", Barack Obama in the White House. The overwhelming support of Barack Obama by Black voters is troubling. They will never look at John McCain, Mitt Romney, Herman Cain as the candidates willing to help Blacks. They are brainwashed into voting for Democrats, plain and simple!We're trying to transition them out of the "Democrat Plantation". We keep telling them that the Democratic Party is the party of the Ku Klux Klan. We keep telling them that Democrats are always keeping them poor! We keep telling Blacks that Democrats want more abortions, same sex marriage and are holding them back! When these White liberals vote for Barack Obama, we believe its White guilt. Because they don't want to be labeled a racist. The Republicans were the party of Civil Rights, and yet the Blacks support the Democrats. They refuse to acknowledge civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was once a Republican. They refuse to acknowledge that the Dixiecrats [State's Rights Democratic Party] were the ones who turned the fire hoses on Blacks and endorsed Jim Crow laws. Republicans want to make the Black community lives better. We accomplished a big goal this time by electing two Black legislators to Congress. We got Allen West and Tim Scott. The Tea Party isn't racist. You prove to us there's a racist in the Tea Party and we can tell you that the Occupy Wall Street movement is racist. Look how many White people attend these events. Have you seen a Black person at the Occupy Wall Street Protest? We had plenty of Black speakers at the Tea Party. You Black people are going to make it harder for Barack Obama to win. You keep pushing these stories to paint the Republicans as racist, in turn we will gain more White voters because they'll eventually get tired of your stories of Trayvon Martin, the "racist" ramblings of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Barack Obama. We will make it our goal to see President Barack Obama as a "one term president".

Miami Herald Unearths Controversial Shooter's MySpace Page!
We haven't forgotten about the Trayvon Martin shooting. Most in the American media, have packed up and left for the next sensational story to unfold. But down in Sanford, Florida, George Zimmerman, the controversial young man who shot and killed the unarmed teenager is free on a $150,000 bond. And while on bond, his legal defense is trying to scrub his track record clean, literally. It's one of those things, a person is willing to do to get at least a decent trial. But to give another clear look into Zimmerman lies within his social networking websites.
Although most people channel their feelings and lovely pictures on Facebook, MySpace still exist and George Zimmerman still remains a member.
The Miami Herald unearthed George Zimmerman's MySpace page. The controversy steam from some of his thoughts on Mexicans.
No matter how many firewalls, anti-virus protections, and malware defense mechanisms used, someone will always find a way to put your life online.
I want to say that this asshole is entitled to his opinion. He has a right to speak his mind. But unfortunately, all these things that come up may show that George Zimmerman may have profiled Trayvon Martin based on his race.
Zimmerman defends the shooting by claiming it was self-defense.
Zimmerman's defense team raised over $200 thousand dollars in legal assistance and yet the judge didn't raise his bond to the $1 million. The Martin family defense was devastated by the decision and how it was easy for Zimmerman to bond out on 10 percent.
I am shocked that on his MySpace page, he made these nasty comments about his ex-girlfriend. The one who said he had an anger management problem and accused him of throwing items at her. He bragged on his MySpace page about his homesickness to Virginia. He brags about getting a misdemeanor charge after assaulting a police officer. And yes, posted his disdain for "Mexican thugs" who run through his tires with their knives.
I am sorry, but George Zimmerman is an idiot. Add this controversy to the many other incidents that this young man's done in his three months of media scrutiny.
Would this play in the trial?
Your guess is as good as mine!
Neo Nazi Border Vigilante J.T. Ready Kills Family And Himself
J.T. Ready. |
All these culture wars are credited to making more unease within the White Supremacy movement. They already know that it's likely President Barack Obama could win reelection.
They're aware of the changing demographics in which Hispanic/Latinos and Blacks are growing in rapid rates. Interracial births are at an all time high. The United States is becoming a little more browner. That's gotta to unravel some.
White nationalists allied with the Minutemen Border Movement patrolled the United States-Mexican border threatening and even possibly killing illegal immigrants.
J.T. Ready, a notorious figure in the White Supremacist circles lived in Arizona. A prominent fixture in Republican politics once tried to run for an Arizona County Sheriff post and was a poll watcher for elections. The often animated Ready would promote himself as the savior of the White race.
In Gilbert, Arizona, J.T. Ready killed his girlfriend, their daughter and other family members before he committed suicide.

Gilbert mass shooting: White supremacist J.T. Ready left tracks in politics
by Gary Nelson on May. 02, 2012, under Arizona Republic NewsJ.T. Ready, the avowed White supremacist and militant critic of illegal immigration who authorities believe was the gunman in Wednesday’s multiple murder-suicide in Gilbert, cut a swath through Arizona politics before — and after — it became apparent he represented the far-right fringe of the political spectrum.
Along the way the barrel-chested former Marine became entwined for a time with one of the state’s most powerful political leaders and appeared on the radar of at least two national groups that track potentially violent extremist movements for his views and armed patrols of the Mexico border.
Authorities believe Ready, 39, shot and killed four people in a Gilbert home before turning a gun on himself.
Ready was allied briefly with former state Senate President Russell Pearce, and the two posed together for photographers during an anti-illegal-immigration rally at the state Capitol in June 2007. By the next year, as Ready’s ties to neo-Nazi and White supremacist groups became more apparent, Pearce disavowed him.
Pearce, who was defeated last November in a recall election, is now first vice chairman of the Arizona Republican Party and is running again for the Senate, this time from the new District 26 in Mesa.
Party spokesman Shane Wikfors said Pearce would not comment on Ready’s death. “He’s not going to want to have anything to do with him,” Wikfors said. “We categorically, absolutely had nothing to do with him.”
Marc Pitcavage, national director of investigative research for the Anti-Defamation League, said the group has long been aware of Ready’s activities.
The group’s website describes Ready as a “neo-Nazi and anti-immigrant extremist,” tracing his activities in Arizona from 2004 onward.
“We have monitored J.T. Ready for many years now,” Pitcavage said. It began with Ready’s early activities as a border vigilante but soon led to the realization that Ready was “a full-fledged White supremacist.”
For a time, Pitcavage said, Ready was a “mover and shaker” for the National Socialist Movement, a neo-Nazi group with about 330 members nationwide. Ready was one of the group’s two principal leaders in the Phoenix area, Pitcavage said.
An online biography of Ready includes several quotes in which he advocated restoring the country as a "White, European homeland,” called for militant action against Jews and advocated using “lawful, deadly force” when appropriate to protect the Mexican border.
Pitcavage said it would be premature to link Ready’s extreme political views to the explosion of violence that ended five lives on Wednesday. “When the shooting spree is directed toward family members, or what were essentially the closest thing he had to family members, those are usually personal rather than ideological motives,” Pitcavage said.
Ready also had been tracked by the Southern Poverty Law Center, an Alabama-based civil-rights organization that monitors hate and extremist groups. Like the ADL, the center carries a biography of Ready on its website.
It notes that Ready apparently got his start in politics as president of the Mesa Community College Republican Club and became increasingly involved in local issues in the early 2000s.
According to the SPLC biography, Ready received a bad-conduct discharge from the Marines in 1996, after being court-martialed twice — once for larceny and going AWOL, and once for conspiracy and assault.
The site also lists a 1992 criminal conviction for property damage and assault after he and a friend destroyed a car mirror with a baseball bat.
Ready ran for political office at least twice in Mesa and once as a write-in candidate for U.S. Senate. In 2004 he ran in the Republican primary for a House seat from District 18, which Pearce already represented.
In 2006 he ran for Mesa City Council from a heavily Hispanic district and finished second among four candidates.
During that council campaign, The Arizona Republic uncovered inconsistencies in the biography he had provided the newspaper and found that he had been convicted of assault in Florida when he was 18 years old.
Ready had claimed to be a founding member of the Arizona Minuteman Project, a border-vigilante group, but admitted that he was just a member, not a founder.
That campaign also featured a bizarre incident in which Ready, who earlier had solicited votes from the Hells Angels, traded shots with an illegal immigrant whom Ready believed was involved in criminal activity. Nobody was hurt.
A year later Ready caused a commotion at a Mesa City Council meeting when the mayor denied him permission to speak in opposition to a Mesa police detective who was campaigning against hate crimes.
Ready’s ties to Pearce became an issue during Pearce’s 2008 re-election campaign when a group called Mesa Deserves Better sent a mailer depicting Pearce as a friend of neo-Nazis.
Amid that campaign, three Arizona Republican congressmen sent a letter to the chairman of the Maricopa County Republican Party demanding Ready’s removal as a precinct committeeman in District 18 because of his neo-Nazi ties.
By that time, Ready had been in that post for two years and was not seeking re-election. “You can’t grow a party when you’re rallying with J.T. Ready,” U.S. Rep. Jeff Flake said at the time.
But Ready apparently was trying to re-enter politics this year and had formed a committee to seek the Democratic nomination for sheriff in Pinal County.
Shortly after Ready’s death became known Wednesday afternoon, someone posted this message on his Facebook page: “Reports are unconfirmed that a cartel assassination squad murdered J.T. Ready and several of his friends and family this afternoon in Gilbert, Arizona.”
Harry Hughes, who briefly headed Ready’s campaign committee for sheriff until he was promoted in the National Socialist Movement, said, “I got an e-mail from him the other day and everything seemed fine.”
“And I’ve always said, he was generous, caring, respectful most of the time as far as with friends and acquaintances, maybe not so much people on the other side,” Hughes said.

The Soon To Be Republican Nominee Fires Conservative Agitator (Who Is Gay) After Extremist Groups Warned Of Mutiny Ahead!
Richard Grenell, a gay conservative agitator. |
Besides the president, Mitt Romney spent a majority of his campaign beaten down his political foes within his own party.
I'll admit that most Republicans aren't satisfied with the notion of him being their nominee, but they're desperate and they'll vote for anything to defeat President Barack Obama.
After a brutal primary fight against Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, the race for the nomination has been a little bruising for the soon to be nominee Mitt Romney.
Mitt Romney, the former one term governor of Massachusetts is running once again for President Of The United States. After suffering a setback in 2008, when Senator John McCain of Arizona managed to capture the Republican nomination, many thought that Mitt Romney would do it again.
Now Republicans see Mitt Romney as the one capable of beating President Barack Obama. The major concerns that face the Republican nominee, is pretty much him! Mitt Romney's inconsistencies will hurt him and Republicans are hoping that he'll eventually appeal to the Tea Party. They're hoping that when Mitt Romney secures the nomination and picks a viable running mate, the Republicans will be enthusiastic in voting for him.
But here comes the problems. The Obama campaign is going to hammer the former governor's one term record as governor. They'll find issues with his stance on issues. And the president's liberal allies will paint the former governor as an out of touch politician with statements that are inconsistent with general public. They will paint the former governor as a person willing to appeal to extremists.
Here's the kicker, a political ally who happens to be an openly gay Republican who has his share of outrageous statements is being forced out by the campaign. Richard Garnell, an openly gay conservative agitator who recently scrubbed his Twitter page after making inflammatory statements is on the firing squad after the American Family Association and other anti-gay groups warned the Romney campaign that he will face mutiny if he doesn't get rid of this guy.
Gay Romney aide steps down, citing backlash over sexuality
By Nia-Malika Henderson and Rachel Weiner, Tuesday, May 1, 8:05 PM
In a statement provided to The Washington Post, Grenell, who is openly gay, said: “While I welcomed the challenge to confront President Obama’s foreign policy failures and weak leadership on the world stage, my ability to speak clearly and forcefully on the issues has been greatly diminished by the hyper-partisan discussion of personal issues that sometimes comes from a presidential campaign.” He added: “I want to thank Governor Romney for his belief in me and my abilities and his clear message to me that being openly gay was a non-issue for him and his team.”
Grenell was a volunteer consultant to the Romney team before he was officially brought aboard, but the hiring was controversial from the start.
Shortly after Romney announced that Grenell would join his team, the former spokesman for the U.S. mission to the United Nations was forced to remove entries from his Twitter account that some considered offensive. Grenell came under fire for a series of snarky tweets aimed at women, including Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton; MSNBC talk show host Rachel Maddow; and Callista Gingrich, the wife of GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich.
The tweets included posts about Clinton’s appearance, Gingrich’s hair and Maddow’s lack of jewelry,
And some longtime reporters openly complained about Grenell’s confrontational style, which sometimes included calls to editors and freezing reporters out of stories. Among Romney’s biggest champions in the twitterverse, Grenell often used his Twitter account to call out reporters and to criticize U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice.
Richard Grenell's Twitter page with offensive tweets. |
Matthew J. Franck, director of the William E. and Carol G. Simon Center on Religion and the Constitution at the Witherspoon Institute, called Grenell a “loose cannon” with a passion for the “gay agenda.”
“My problem is that by his own description he is an ardent activist for same-sex marriage who went to go work for a candidate who wants to defeat same-sex marriage. It doesn’t look good to the people that Romney needs support from to have an advocate for same-sex marriage in such a high-profile position,” Franck said. “The Romney campaign needs to be unequivocally opposed to same-sex marriage and to appear to be. The campaign has remedied a problem that was bound to get worse.”
While discussions of foreign policy have been front and center in the campaign for the White House, Grenell has been largely absent.
Last month, Eric Ferhnstrom, a senior Romney aide, welcomed Grenell to the fold with this cheeky tweet: “Welcome aboard to @RichardGrenell. Your etchasketch is in the top drawer. Storage for your sense of shame is on 3rd floor.”
The Romney team maintains that it was Grenell’s decision to leave his post.
“We are disappointed that Ric decided to resign from the campaign for his own personal reasons,” campaign manager Matt Rhoades said in a statement. “We wanted him to stay because he had superior qualifications for the position he was hired to fill.”

If Osama bin Laden Was Alive.....
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden watching the operation. |
In May 2011, President Barack Obama authorized the military special operations unit to go into Abbottabad, Pakistan to track down al-Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden.
A risky and yet gutsy decision by the president to send a covert team of military officers into a country with a mere few hours to carry out the task.
I mean this was a huge story. Very much for every network to interrupt the season finales of many television programs. President Barack Obama announced on national television the mission's success:
Good evening. Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the
world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed
Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda, and a terrorist who was
responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and
children...
Yet the Republicans were willing to credit President George W. Bush for carrying out the mission.
The Republicans ran on this "strong on national security" theme for years. They've painted President Barack Obama as an ineffective leader who wouldn't know how to defend the United States.
Now it's one year later, and the very same "strong on national security" themed Republicans are upset that President Barack Obama played his card. They can't deny that he carried it out. But they sure don't want to hear anything about it.
Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, the controversial agitators and their take on Osama bin Laden. Yet these two chickenhawks are willing to make the case that torture works. Neither conservative participated in the waterboarding demonstration. Sean Hannity wanted to donated to charity! He hasn't done it yet!
Conservatives are really upset that President Barack Obama played his "victory" in this 2012 U.S. Presidential Election. A historic event now becomes a political issue. Conservatives rather credit the U.S. Navy Seals for the actions but yet ignore the Commander-and-Chief.
The Republicans who once said that Barack Obama is naive on foreign policy and the "War on Terrorism" are now crowing about how he is throwing this event in their faces. They argue that if it wasn't for the torture and detainment of members of al-Qaeda, the information to get Osama bin Laden would never happen. If they couldn't get the information from these members through torture what makes them think that it worked?
What took over 10 years, was accomplished. President Barack Obama never ignored the threat of terrorism. It took nearly 2.5 years to find Osama bin Laden. Yes, he deserves all the credit. They can't deny this. President Barack Obama credited those in the CIA, U.S. military and former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton for their efforts. The conservatives continue to ignore that. And they're spinning like tops in the filthy cesspool of ignorance.
He managed to out maneuver the Republicans and they're now upset that he's done it.
How low will these bitter people go?
They played every card in the book. The race card. The fear card. The liberal media lie. The Republicans have been labeled the "Party of No".
They've been painted as extremists.
They are so fixated on finding faults with President Barack Obama. They have allies devoted to promoting conspiracies that drive wedges between fellow Americans.
Yet, the cool and calm President Barack Obama continues ignores the chatter of his foes and waits patiently for the next move. The president cautions that his political foes are willing to do anything. His campaign will take nothing for granted.
Let me tell you this! I rather have a cool president in Barack Obama than a boring, bitter, and downright inconsistent politician in Mitt Romney.
And yes, a cool president than a geezer who spouts conspiracy theories in Congressman Ron Paul of Texas.
And for the former presidential contenders in Congresswoman Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, Governor Rick Perry of Texas, Herman Cain, Tim Pawlenty, Jon Huntsman, Newt Gingrich, Gary Johnson, Rick Santorum, and Congressman Thad McCotter of Michigan.

The Race Card: It's Played When The Conservatives Are Losing!
Courtesy of MyRightWingDad, a website devoted to collecting the most extreme right wing emails. |
Yeah, it was bound to happen! Republicans and its allies in the conservative movement found a way to make the case for President Barack Obama using the "race card" in regards to the latest incidents that involved racial intolerance.
When was the last time President Barack Obama said something in regards to racial issues?
To a conservative, everyday. To the rest of America, not often! Not at all.
The recent incidents in Chicago in which a young Black man accompanied with a juvenile beaten up and robbed a young White man. The incident in Mobile, Alabama in which a White man threatened a group of Black teenagers. That incident turned violent when the teenagers called their parents, and soon they've beaten the White man nearly to death. The incident in Tulsa, Oklahoma in which a two men, one being a in grief over the loss of his girlfriend and father, went into a neighborhood where Blacks lived and shot them randomly. The incident killed three innocent citizens. And the most famous incident, a young man shooting an unarmed Black teenager. These incidents are simmering up the "long hot summer"!
This is an election year, and Republicans are going to play dirty! They've found their nominee. The nominee and his advisers will waste no time trying to go after President Barack Obama's record for the sluggish economy. The nominee's advisers will use every tactic to distract, deviate and dog-whistle White voters to oppose President Barack Obama.
The Republican nominee will try to paint himself as the "grown up in the room". He will paint his background as a tale of his experiences and try to make the case that President Obama is inexperienced, out of touch, and he's gotta go!
The Republican nominee will waste no time trying to cater to the extremists within in his political party. This happen when John McCain secured his nomination, and picked Sarah Palin as his running mate.
Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney will be the presidential nominee for the Republican Party.
Mitt Romney served one term as governor of the state of Massachusetts. And during his time as governor, he allocated a pretty much moderate record on most issues. As he prepares for the eventual capture of delegates to cling the Republican nomination, he's preparing for a nasty campaign against President Barack Obama.
This will be a dueling challenge to inspire those who turnout in droves to vote for Barack Obama. It's not going to be an easy challenge this time. During the 2010 United States midterm elections, Republicans swept back into the House of Representatives and state/territorial governorships. The Republican goal: undermine the core of Obama's base. They are willing to make this case by attacking President Barack Obama on issues such as his "coolness".
If one can't understand the right's Obama Derangement Syndrome, then you're lost in the transition.
If a person holds views that are bigoted towards race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, political and economic standings, then this person is either criticized as an extremist. This contributes to the reactionary, racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophoic, ignorant, condescending, overreaching, idiotic, pain inducing rants one says online or in the public forum.
Race-baiting is tool used when a conservative is upset over an incident when a Black person is killed by a white person. Race baiting is when a conservative sends a racist email attacking President Barack Obama and his wife First Lady Michelle Obama and the person who sent it was caught. Conservatives blame President Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Attorney General Eric Holder (all prominent Black men) for incidents that they can't control. Or blaming them for seeing justice for incidents that are looked under the radar.
Playing the victim card or the race card is usually a strategy when a conservative's rant goes to the extreme. Thus leading to tragedies in schools, public venues or attempts at harming innocent victims.
And just like every [White and even Black] conservative man! When there's an incident that involves a White person, they're screaming: "See. This is what the liberal media isn't telling you! They talk about Trayvon Martin but void the fact these 'Obama supporters' are violent towards white citizens and Eric Holder isn't concerned about us but his 'brothas'!"
I urge you conservatives to put away your hate, ignorance and stupidity. Cause you may feel comfortable in the presence of a home computer, but you realize that if you want to rile up people with this, try harder! Take it to the streets.
Go to the cities and their neighborhoods you claim are crime ridden Democratic strongholds. Go into these neighborhoods with your tea party rhetoric, Obama Derangement syndrome-themed rants and see if someone will notice!
They'll probably call the police on you! Hopefully [urban dwellers] avoid whooping a conservative's ass for the ranting and raving!
You notice a pattern.
The Republicans know they're not going to secure the Black vote. They are giving up on it. What they're going to is work hard to bring Hispanics/Latinos and mostly White voters to the Republican Party.
So in order to do that! The Republicans and its allies in the conservative movement want to create controversies in which racial injustice towards White people is unnoticed by the media and in turn it riles up votes.
The strategy works. It's noted as the "Southern Strategy".

Meet Your New Neighbors!

An interracial couple Jean and Angelica Kalonji purchases a home. Their son's realtor urged them to change their locks. As they were attempting to enter the home, the neighbors Robert and his son Branden Canoles stormed the home with firearms drawn.
This story comes from the Inquisitr and WSBTV Atlanta.
A black man and his family were held at gunpoint by their new neighbors while they were trying to change the locks in Newton, GA reported WSBTV.
The Kalonji Family had just closed the purchase on a foreclosed home and were excited to begin the moving process. The realtor advised the family to begin by changing the locks on their new home.
Jean Kalonji was in the process of changing the locks on the front door when their new neighbors mistook the Kalonji’s for thieves breaking into the house and confronted them with guns.
“He say to put the hands up and get out from the house otherwise he would shoot us,” recounted Jean about the incident.
Angelica Kalonji, Jean’s wife stated:
The neighbors held the Kalonji’s at gunpoint and called the local authorities not believing they were the owners of the house. When authorities arrived they arrested the family who did not have the closing paper work with them at the time, charging them with loitering and prowling.
The realtor, Yvette Harris, said the deputies had no right to arrest the couple, stating:
Charges
have been dropped against a couple who got tossed in jail after
visiting their son's new house, but not before they faced gun-wielding
neighbors. Now, the neighbors are the ones behind bars.
Jean and Angelica Kalonji's son closed on a Newton County home Thursday and, on the agent's advice, they went over to change the locks.
Neighbors then showed up with guns drawn.
"(I was) told to put my hands up and to get out, otherwise he shot us,” Jean Kalonji said.
The Kalonjis said they were so glad when Newton County sheriff's deputies arrived to straighten things out, but the deputies took them to jail and charged them with loitering and prowling.
"For me to get out, we had to pay bond," Kalonji said.
Channel 2’s Jeff Dore talked with a spokesman for the Newton County sheriff, who said they have now dropped charges. The father-son pair of neighborhood watchmen in the confrontation turned themselves in to the Sheriff's Office Monday evening. Robert, 45, and Branden Canoles, 18, were charged with false imprisonment, aggravated assault and criminal trespass.
As for the deputies who arrested innocent new residents, they were not on administrative leave at this time.
“They just spontaneously arrested him, arrested his wife, threw them in jail, made no phone calls, made no effort to verify the truthfulness of what they were saying and told the people with the guns in essence, ‘Thank you for your good service,’” Kalonji family attorney Don Samuel said.
The deputies are facing an internal investigation within the Newton County Sheriff's Department.
"The case is still fluid. We're still investigating the case. And also our Office of Professional Standards, there's an internal investigation as well," Lt. Mark Mitchell of the Newton County Sheriff's Department said.
A Georgia family was confronted by two neighbors who carried semi-automatic firearms. The neighbors thought the family was trespassing called the police and had this family arrested. After a clarification, the neighbors are now under arrest facing serious charges. Guess it's necessary to carry firearms if you're in a neighborhood watch. It's getting worse, and yes it's in the South.

“They rightfully own this house.”According to Newton County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Mark Mitchell authorities are investigating why everything that happened.
“We’re kind of on the ground floor to this as far as looking into it exactly what occurred, why it occurred.”The experience brought back painful memories to Jean who was raised in the Congo.
“There, they put me down with the gun to my head. Here, the same.”

NEWTON COUNTY, Ga. —
Jean and Angelica Kalonji's son closed on a Newton County home Thursday and, on the agent's advice, they went over to change the locks.
