While we were thinking about preparing a commentary on the riots in Ferguson, Missouri – race relations, Obama’s corruption, etc, we looked to American Thinker for some insight to include. But reading Clarice Feldman we understood she says nearly all that needs to be said in an essay. Her thoughtful comments are available here. But never ones to let our betters keep us from holding forth, we add the following.
Are Barack Obama and Eric Holder attempting to ignite race war in America?
I believe that is becoming a legitimate question. Hasn’t Holder provided evidence, from the beginning of the current administration, and his tenure, that he is in league with the New Black Panthers. Here is a Conservative Tree House report that is chilling. Conservative Tree House has been following the Ferguson matter closely.
Remember the “community” was demanding that the policeman who allegedly shot (and it is just as fair to say “allegedly” in this instance as to say that it “appears” that Michael Brown committed a strong-arm robbery just before being shot) the unarmed “gentle giant” (Sharpton’s term) be identified. Apparently and unsurprisingly, that was so the Panthers could urge the policeman’s murder!
So…in a growing segment of our society…what’s wrong with that?
One final thought: With the Holder Justice Department involved, how can any sane person have the confidence to believe any conclusions this corrupt agency might reach in this case?
Where’s the love in Love Park, Philadelphia, the City Of Brotherly Love?
Just another youngster out for a skateboard ride. “Really a good kid”, his parents are likely to say. “He’s planning on going to law school and start his own computer software company and tutor poor kids and buy his parents a new house and he’s so gentle and so very kind and every loves him and he’s a credit to his community and….”
And all of a sudden this white park ranger targets him and viciously attacks the lad.
Quote of the day regarding the Ferguson riots

Who Turns Over a Portable Toilet in the Name of Their Community?

I’m not sure the issue is black and white, no pun intended.
First off, let’s keep in mind that the petty theft without a weapon is 1. Hardly a robbery in the sence that it is being portrayed by the police who traditional trump up charges to ensure something sticks for a plea bargan later, and 2. The encounter between the officer and the big teenager was regarding walking in the public street and the officer had no idea about any prior incident since the store owner and employees never bothered even calling the police anyways.
Second off let’s also be aware that there are many players in this political theater. On the government side you have your police who are excited about using their military toys, you have politicians of both parties on the state level and then you have Obama and his crew. All different groups with different ideas and agendas on how to capitalize on the situation.
Now let’s look to the other side of the situation as you have protestors, undercover police posing as protestors, looters and vandals, political figures like al sharpton, and various black factions or parties(lesser) like black panthers, etc. and they all are different groups with their own ides and agendas on how to capitalize on the situation.
The only honest group I can point to would be the protestors, who have initiated the dialogue about police excessive use of guns against citizens and have even gone to the extent of blocking looters entrance to broken in stores because the cops would rather arrest protestors than actually prevent looting and destruction of private and commercial property, which ofcourse works as a great way to discredit the protesters call for answers and accountability by turning the public against them because of the actions of other groups.
Unfortunately I have seen this way too many times as a veteran protestor and how other interests will pervert your cause and message for their own use.
So like I said, this is not a black and white issue… We live in a much more complex country than that.
