Obama, BLM, and the New Panthers and playing shuck and jive off each other using the media as the football.
The end of my editorial for today read:
In Baton Rouge, most recently, where protestors obstructed traffic and were asked by police to move, they refused to follow the lawful order. They were protesting not for “justice”, but to provoke police to respond to protestor illegal activity. Then BLM could accuse police of “racism” that would serve as a pretext for Obama’s Department of Justice to punish Baton Rouge with an “investigation”. Facts be damned--their narrative demands punishment for those who disagree with anti-social social justice.
Too bad that the photograph of one of BLM’s well-paid prominent activists in Baton Rouge shows his arrest being made by a courteous black police officer.
BlackLivesMatter doesn’t want the rule of law; they want the bigotry that comes from demonstrations ruled by feelings. They believe in using representative democracy to achieve enough power to relieve us of representative democracy.
There are more serious issues than BLM to consider before casting your vote in November.
White people bad, privileged, violent and racist.
Black people afraid of bad priviliged, violent, racist white people.
Trump or Bush to blame.
Concealed carry causes violent inner city Chicago type thugs to kill black people. White people to blame.
Racism is in America's DNA.
Liberals and guilty lib whites, LOVE TRANNIES, GAYS, BI-SEXUALS, LESBIANS and GOAT EFFERS.
Privileged white folks HATE THEM.
Obama is post racial and so is his wife.
Brexit is Racism and cause our stock market to plummet to Oct 1929 levels, only more government can fix it.
He wants to federalize all law enforcement in the US.
That's your constitutional scholar jeenyus in the Oval Office. The guy who's done little but gin up racial discord for 8 years says he's our only hope.
The Portsmouth paper has this headline next to the Hillary/Bernie headline..."Police find woman with baby in the woods."
A woman with a four month old baby was found living in a tent in the woods near Portsmouth.
Huh. I just listened to blah,bla,blah Hillary cares about the children and Hillary will continue the great legacy of Obama.
Wait, what? The NBP want Alabama as part of their new country? I recognize those morons reside in the 70+/- IQ range, but that's beneath their reasoning. Have they been to Alabama lately? It's not that the white folk would squash their plans, it's that our new Mexican citizens wouldn't give us first chance. Seriously.
Seriously, indeed, Beasts. I notice the NBP doesn't claim TX. Shocka!
Yes, henry, but Liberia will have to rename the capital city. I, in the meantime, hear the siren call of Eye-dee-hoe.
What happened to the fab civil Obama Army that Barry envisioned? The Ocupoopers and the Flukers didn't rush to enlist. I can picture a Hillary! Pantsuit Army of feminist grunts.
Since Jeff is not around,
I denounce myself...
Motherfucker, you spent millions of other people's dollars on a ridiculous display of vanity, only to enlist with the corporatists and lead another movement to its fucking grave.
Return the money to people who have to work for a living, not talk for one, plutocrat.
On Zuckerberg, Tammy shared an article on Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg threatening to move to New Zealand if Trump is elected which has some hilarious comments, including that she and other leftists should be forced to go to Mexico, Syria or some other third world dump from which they favor the vermin relocating here.
I thought Ber now was going to take it to the convention?
The fix is in on this nomination as well.
Dems handpicked their candidate and shut out all opposition .
See DWS.
Repubs just let the chips fall where they may.
Original repub rules put in to stop Ron Paul.
Paul Ryan is trying to defend his walled compound, saying it's necessary to protect his children. To paraphrase a few of the Horde: What about our children? Amazingly tone deaf...
Most of the Sander's crowd are either unrepentant, middle aged commies, brained washed Millennials, or Activists that are not connected to the Dem/Establishment Left core.
True, there are some "independents", but mist of that crowd is going to vote Dem. They will come to the polls after Snamders and Obama pleads with them--anything to keep the cheeto-haired Jesus out of office.
What is sad for the Millennials, is that if Trump actually delivered on his promises they would be much much better off than otherwise.
But they have been completely Brainwashed.
Another Lost generation. As the boomers go there really will not be many left who remember what a properly ordered American society looked like.
Paul Ryan has the right to protect his children from the loons of the Left.
I will aim all fire at Clintons who are getting off Scott free thanks to their peeps and the fear factor they employ.
The comparison is between him finding the need to protect his family with a wall, while leaving our borders open - leaving nominal Americans at greater risk of crime from illegals. If the physical barrier is good enough for his precious issue, it should be good enough for everyone else.
Paul Ryan has the right to protect his children from the loons of the Left.
Not if he's doing his best to deny everyone else the right to protect their children.
What he's doing is no different than Dianne Feinstein having the only private gun permit in all of San Francisco when she was Mayor, or the endless parade of politicians and celebrities who push gun control but would never in a million years imagine dispensing with their own private (or taxpayer-supplied) armed security.
Either we ALL have the right to protect our families, or nobody should have the right.
Reportedly, BOzo's presidential library will cost over $1B, presumably meaning it won't be small. I can't imagine the machinations it will take to present the last 8 yrs. as an unqualified success.
Talks about the calling of becoming a Police Officer. Talks about their courage and the risks they assume for strangers. Calls the ambush an ambush of hatred and malice. Calls it evil.
Continues talking about how arguments turn into hatred and division.
Says we need to remember our values, our shared commitments to ideals and our practice of empathy that bridges our deepest divisions. Says we find our better parts of ourselves when we do this. mentions God.
Says we do not want the unity of grief or of fear, we want the unity of hope, affection and high purpose.
Thank you TX for the splendid blue governor's mansion in Austin. The WH was a great model.
Oh, wait...
The Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association (F.L.E.O.A.) Foundation announced its request that President Obama honor the ultimate sacrifice of our fallen Dallas police heroes by illuminating the White House in blue. The request occurred on Friday. It has not happened.
Following the Black Dallas Police Chief, now Obama.
Mentions everyone first, Bush's, Biden's, Police folks, makes a joke about Michelle liking Stevie Wonder---big laughs and applause.
Continues on now in a great serious tone "Scripture tells us that in our suffering there is Glory, because we know that suffering produces perseverance, and perseverance produces character, and character produces hope." Says sometimes the truths of these words are hard to say. Right now those words test us, because the people of Dallas and across the country are suffering. We are here to mourn the loss of 5 fellow loved ones, to pray for the wounded and to try to fins some meaning amidst our sorrow.
--------------------
Obama: Says that when you put on that uniform you put yourself in harms way. Now going down thru the litany of each of the dead Policemen and adding long comments about the families of the dead and how they are dealing with the deaths of the Policemen who answered the Call to be Policemen.
I linked it just to see what she looked like & chose a random place...@ ~1:17:30 she brings up Seth Rich (DNC staffer that was just killed in DC)...then she says "weapons of war have no place on the streets of America".
I don't think the type of gun used has even been released.
They know nothing about that shooting yet. Type of gun?? He wasn't robbed. Out at 4am.
Maybe he was out buying drugs? Who knows?
Will his death be turned into a "white lives matter" agenda? Why not?
Now pretends he is the best friend of all those dead cops, and he knows they don't get the thanks they deserve from the people who need them the most.
"In this country we idon'thave soldiers in the streets or Militias setting the rules. Instead we have Public Servants, Police Officers, like the men who were taken away from us, and thats what these 5 are doing last Thursday. When they were assigned to protect and keep orderly a Peaceful Protest in response to the killing of Alton Sterling of Baton Rouge and Philander Castille in Minnesota.They were upholding the Constitutional Rights of the Country. For a while the protests went on without incident."
"And despite the fact that Police Conduct was the subject of the Protest, despite the fact that there must have been signs or slogans or chants with which they profoundly disagreed. these me, and this Department, did their jobs like the Professionals that they were."
My question: How could it be peaceful if there were signs and slogans and chants calling for violence against the Police?
"And then around 9 o'clock, the gunfire came. Another Community torn apart. More hearts broken. More questions about what caused and what might prevent another such tragedy."
Preparation for his Gun Control arguments...
"An act not just of demented violence but of Racial hatred."
I thought Jeh Johnson said it was too early to determine motives.
Like i said before: all that matters is the agitprop that is spewed out. DO you think the W's speech will get the same treatment as Obamas.
The whole point here is to put forward some sort of moral equivalence between the BLM front and the police, and to clear the BLM (and other NGOs) of any sort of association with the shootings.
Watch the whole Dallas thing go down memory whole, once they cannot get anything out of it.
Healing? do not bet on it.
He is talking out of both sides of his mouth and those who would perpetrate violence knows it.
Next will be gun control.
See he cannot just respectfully comment on the sacrifice of the dead--he has to politicize it, and make it about him, and how he will fix it.
They will not stop on gun control. They will keep chipping away at it no matter what.
Beasts, they are basing that on open primaries. It never occurs to them that there are democrats who registered GOP because they are switching (as I did in 1980).
Right, so really there was some sort of bigotry here, but the Dallas PD just pulled it out of the American air.
This is really disgusting. It is like I said earlier: does not matter what any one else at that service says or does. Just the agitprop is what remains.
He want to have it both ways. He want to keep playing his game but have us pretend that he is reasonable. That this problem, this business in Dallas in particular was not to some extent directly provoked by him.
Note that his speech in Poland has already gone down memory hole.
My takeaway is it is continual Race Baiting from the President.
He says we are not as divided as we seem because he says he knows America. Now he is turning it to his favorite topic his life.
Got a standing ovation for saying that the young son of the shot back woman wants to be a Cop and that is the America I know.
Now he is getting louder as Miss M says above. Says the Dallas Police Department has been doing it the right way. Getting ovations for playing to the Home audience.
Says we are 1 American Family. Nice to know the Cops didn't act stupidly.
He want to have it both ways. He want to keep playing his game but have us pretend that he is reasonable. That this problem, this business in Dallas in particular was not to some extent directly provoked by him.
This is exactly right.
He is not reasonable. He deserves no deference, no respect at all. He is an evil man, a destroyer, a divider, and that's all he knows or cares about.
I would go further than you, SD. This wasn't just "to some extent" provoked by him. It was ENTIRELY provoked by him, both as an individual, and via the policies he's pushed and the loathsome people he's put in place to carry them out.
I never thought we would ever see the day where a president of the U.S. would give a eulogy/memorial speech for police officers who were shot down like dogs . . .
. . . and turn it into a political speech that not-too-subtly *attacks* police officers.
Pres. oBOzo has gone completely over the line of decency, imho.
I will *NEVER* forgive him for this intentional slam against the memory of those officers' ultimate sacrifice.
Sadly, I think many Bernie supporters are waking up today to realize that Bernie doesn't care. He was in it to fire up the left/yute vote and bring as many of them as possible to Hillary. For which I guess he'll have her eternal gratitude or something.
Hey, those lobster sliders weren't going to pay for themselves!
Now quotes from John's Gospel, calling not for words or speech, but calling for action. Obama wants action. Says to honor these 5 outstanding Officers, we need to act on the truths that we know.
Hasn't mentioned the specifics yet, but I think he will. Says we have to respect the overwhelming number of Police officers and says:
"When anyone, no matter how good their intentions may be, paints all Police as biased, or bigoted, we undermine those Officers we depend on for our safety."
Now who does that? Who says there is Institutional bias in our Police across the Nation? Help me out here. Would that be the president and the Gangster rappers and Race Baiter's he constantly invites to the White House to make Album Covers of dead cops and dead cops or dead judges on the White House lawn, or is it Fly Over country White America?

Mean Miss Marple thinks Obama is stretching this out so people will forget the impact of Bush's speech.

Uh-oh. He's starting to get loud.

They know nothing about that shooting yet. Type of gun??
DC has some of the strictest gun laws in the country. Lot of good that did him, or the 59 other victims this year in DC.

Now pretends he is the best friend of all those dead cops, and he knows they don't get the thanks they deserve from the people who need them the most.
"In this country we idon'thave soldiers in the streets or Militias setting the rules. Instead we have Public Servants, Police Officers, like the men who were taken away from us, and thats what these 5 are doing last Thursday. When they were assigned to protect and keep orderly a Peaceful Protest in response to the killing of Alton Sterling of Baton Rouge and Philander Castille in Minnesota.They were upholding the Constitutional Rights of the Country. For a while the protests went on without incident."
He can't help himself.

"That's the America I know."
Would have been nice to have heard something about this over the last 8 years.
Also he's getting loud.

Thx for the commentary MM - I can't watch him. And be as mean as you want!!!
Posted by: Texas Liberty Gal | July 12, 2016 at 03:03 PM
He's getting into preacher mode.
I am telling you, he is trying to make people forget W's words. which were beautiful and healing and spiritual.
"That's the America I know."
Coulda fooled me. I don't think he knows America at all.
Posted by: Miss Marple 2 | July 12, 2016 at 03:04 PM
I can't watch either. Phony baloney right now.

"And despite the fact that Police Conduct was the subject of the Protest, despite the fact that there must have been signs or slogans or chants with which they profoundly disagreed. these me, and this Department, did their jobs like the Professionals that they were."
My question: How could it be peaceful if there were signs and slogans and chants calling for violence against the Police?
Posted by: daddy | July 12, 2016 at 03:05 PM
Now he's going into angry lecture mode.
And more of his dramatic voice.
Blech.

"And then around 9 o'clock, the gunfire came. Another Community torn apart. More hearts broken. More questions about what caused and what might prevent another such tragedy."
Preparation for his Gun Control arguments...
"An act not just of demented violence but of Racial hatred."
I thought Jeh Johnson said it was too early to determine motives.
Posted by: daddy | July 12, 2016 at 03:08 PM
Now he's bringing up Jim Crow and how it didn't stop after the Civil Rights Act.
Now trying to have it both ways.
We know, America, we have all seen the bogotry at some point in our lives.
Sigh. I hope this is not going to be the takeaway from this event.
Hope W's speech gets a lot of play.
Posted by: Miss Marple 2 | July 12, 2016 at 03:09 PM
"The deepest fault lines of our Democracy have been exposed, perhaps even widened."
Hmmm, Wonder if he can guess who is the chief widener of those fault lines.
Posted by: daddy | July 12, 2016 at 03:10 PM
Like i said before: all that matters is the agitprop that is spewed out. DO you think the W's speech will get the same treatment as Obamas.
The whole point here is to put forward some sort of moral equivalence between the BLM front and the police, and to clear the BLM (and other NGOs) of any sort of association with the shootings.
Watch the whole Dallas thing go down memory whole, once they cannot get anything out of it.
Healing? do not bet on it.
He is talking out of both sides of his mouth and those who would perpetrate violence knows it.
Next will be gun control.
See he cannot just respectfully comment on the sacrifice of the dead--he has to politicize it, and make it about him, and how he will fix it.
They will not stop on gun control. They will keep chipping away at it no matter what.

We are heading into SOTU length speech here.
Beasts, they are basing that on open primaries. It never occurs to them that there are democrats who registered GOP because they are switching (as I did in 1980).
Posted by: Miss Marple 2 | July 12, 2016 at 03:11 PM
Now he is going political. We refuse to fund drug programs. we allow commmunities to be flooded with guns. etc. etc.
I am trying to be patient, but this guy is really doing harm with this speech.
Now he's blaming white people.
Posted by: Miss Marple 2 | July 12, 2016 at 03:14 PM
Right, so really there was some sort of bigotry here, but the Dallas PD just pulled it out of the American air.
This is really disgusting. It is like I said earlier: does not matter what any one else at that service says or does. Just the agitprop is what remains.
He want to have it both ways. He want to keep playing his game but have us pretend that he is reasonable. That this problem, this business in Dallas in particular was not to some extent directly provoked by him.
Note that his speech in Poland has already gone down memory hole.
Posted by: squaredance | July 12, 2016 at 03:16 PM
My takeaway is it is continual Race Baiting from the President.
He says we are not as divided as we seem because he says he knows America. Now he is turning it to his favorite topic his life.
Got a standing ovation for saying that the young son of the shot back woman wants to be a Cop and that is the America I know.
Now he is getting louder as Miss M says above. Says the Dallas Police Department has been doing it the right way. Getting ovations for playing to the Home audience.
Says we are 1 American Family. Nice to know the Cops didn't act stupidly.
Posted by: daddy | July 12, 2016 at 03:17 PM
I am so glad I'm not watching the speech. I would be throwing things at the television.
Posted by: James D | July 12, 2016 at 03:17 PM
No mention of "typical white" policemen? Pres. Blech's chickens have come home to roost and the eggs are hatching.
Has the WH announced the location of this year's vacation for our Great Healer? Time to move on...
Posted by: Frau ich verstehe die Welt nicht mehr | July 12, 2016 at 03:18 PM
What a disgusting speech.
Create the problem, politicize it, and use it to grasp for power and grub for money.
Posted by: squaredance | July 12, 2016 at 03:18 PM
The President commences to sing ---
I look at cops from both sides now
Both kill and killed
And still somehow
It's my illusions I recall
I really don't know cops at all.
A little night music for y'all, to save daddy and Miss M any more effort...

This is exactly right.
He is not reasonable. He deserves no deference, no respect at all. He is an evil man, a destroyer, a divider, and that's all he knows or cares about.
I would go further than you, SD. This wasn't just "to some extent" provoked by him. It was ENTIRELY provoked by him, both as an individual, and via the policies he's pushed and the loathsome people he's put in place to carry them out.
Posted by: James D | July 12, 2016 at 03:21 PM
OMG . . .
I never thought we would ever see the day where a president of the U.S. would give a eulogy/memorial speech for police officers who were shot down like dogs . . .
. . . and turn it into a political speech that not-too-subtly *attacks* police officers.
Pres. oBOzo has gone completely over the line of decency, imho.
I will *NEVER* forgive him for this intentional slam against the memory of those officers' ultimate sacrifice.
January 20, 2017 *cannot* come soon enough.

Bernie got robbed.
Sadly, I think many Bernie supporters are waking up today to realize that Bernie doesn't care. He was in it to fire up the left/yute vote and bring as many of them as possible to Hillary. For which I guess he'll have her eternal gratitude or something.
Hey, those lobster sliders weren't going to pay for themselves!
Posted by: Porchlight | July 12, 2016 at 03:23 PM
Now quotes from John's Gospel, calling not for words or speech, but calling for action. Obama wants action. Says to honor these 5 outstanding Officers, we need to act on the truths that we know.
Hasn't mentioned the specifics yet, but I think he will. Says we have to respect the overwhelming number of Police officers and says:
"When anyone, no matter how good their intentions may be, paints all Police as biased, or bigoted, we undermine those Officers we depend on for our safety."
Now who does that? Who says there is Institutional bias in our Police across the Nation? Help me out here. Would that be the president and the Gangster rappers and Race Baiter's he constantly invites to the White House to make Album Covers of dead cops and dead cops or dead judges on the White House lawn, or is it Fly Over country White America?
Posted by: daddy | July 12, 2016 at 03:25 PM
Jesus, he's still going on? I can't watch the whole thing.
"We know there is evil in this world."
Finally something I agree with him about.
