Re: isn't it sad that you will only find this story in a UK newspaper?

Where is TommyTomTom in his quest for fairness? In Tom's search for justice?

Where are all of the "Progressives", secularists, and Democrats now, when this travesty (and similar incidents that take place every day) took place, calling for redress?

In Oklahoma last Tuesday, Bob and Nancy Strait, who had been married for 65 years, had their home broken into by a black teenager (Tyrone Woodfork) unarmed except for a BB gun. The teenager beat and raped the 85 year old Nancy Strait to death. Her husband, a veteran of the 101st Airborne in WW2, is in the hospital struggling to make it.

There will be no million hoodie march for Bob and Nancy, two mere white Americans. Their killer will have pro bono lawyers and innocence projects helping him until he's finally set free again.

Certainly Obama will make no statement on how Nancy Strait could have been his grandmother or how Bob Strait could have been that uncle who "liberated Auschwitz ". Bob and Nancy Strait won't get the screeching coverage that Trayvon Martin got about white racism because a Hispanic neighborhood watch captain shot a black teenager.

Good Morning From Tampa Michael!

Obama has continued or expanded the Bush policies.
Romney, Santorum and Gingrich ALL will continue or expand the Bush/Obama policies.

The Rs want everyone to believe that Bush was a 'saint' while Obama the 'devil incarnate' yet their policies are essentially the same.
In contrast, the Ds want everyone to believe that Obama is a 'savior' while Bush was the 'devil incarnate' yet their policies are essentially the same.
The SAME holds true with Romney, Santorum and Gingrich.

Anyone who falls outside this idiotic paradigm is deemed 'extreme'.

The art of politics, under democracy, is simply the art of ringing it. Two branches reveal themselves. There is the art of the demagogue, and there is the art of what may be called, by a shot-gun marriage of Latin and Greek, the demaslave. They are complementary, and both of them are degrading to their practitioners. The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots. The demaslave is one who listens to what these idiots have to say and then pretends that he believes it himself. -- H.L. Mencken

The overarching lesson of this primary season is that Romney and the
Republicans he seeks to win over are incapable of embracing the very
moderation that, particularly in the golden era of Dwight Eisenhower,
defined the party. Instead, they are now a reckless force bent on
destroying the essential social contract that has been the basis of
America's economic and social progress.

Re: [NEWS] Figures. Big Sis Warned Us About Suspicious Men in Hoodies! And so did NBC

It's funny I was just watching back episodes of the new NBC show "Awake" on demand. I seem to have seen the premier episode at a friend's house when I had allergies, and then didn't watch it again and it is up to episode 3. It's a show about a homicide detective. He's been in a car accident with his wife and son and when he falls asleep he wakes up in an alternate reality. In one his so. Died I. The crash, and in the other his wife died. Both realities seem real. He has a different partner in each and a different police psychiatrist seeing him for his loss. The shrinks think he is imagining the other world to deal with grief.

What he actually does is solve murders in one world with clues that emerge in the other world, since he runs into the same people in both (though their lives a very different after the point in time of the crash that killed his family).

Anyway in episode 3, which would have aired 3 weeks ago, he is dealing with someone he arrested and testified against for murder, a black man, 10 years earlier. In one reality this guy breaks out and kidnaps his son, as a bargaining chip to get our protagonist to help prove his innocence. (he turns out to have really been innocent, another cop planted a gun on him afterbshooting a drug dealer and stealing 900k in drug money.). At one point our hero, the main detective, is going to meet this escaped convict alone, and he walksnup behind him and the guy is wearing a hoodie. But it turns out to be some other black guy who the escaped convict has paid to wait by a phone wearing a hoodie to cover up so he can't be identified. Because that is how hoodies are used. At least according to NBC

So how did Zimmerman ever get the idea that someone in a hoodie might be suspicious? From the Obama Administration, of course. Last March Homeland Security released the controversial video, "If You See Something, Say Something (TM)". In the video the bad guys planting bombs… wear hoodies. ......
