Stand Your Ground Hypocrites Incite Racial and Anti-Gun Animus

Stand Your Ground Hypocrites Incite Racial and Anti-Gun Animus

By Frances Rice The rank hypocrisy of Democrats about race and guns is on full display in Florida, demonstrated by how Democrats are exploiting the death of Trayvon Martin.  Two articles about this tragic case can be found on the Internet:  “How Black Leaders Exploit Their People for Political and Financial Gain” by Gary DeMar and “Five Myths of the 'Racist' Criminal Justice System” by Larry Elder. Various groups of Democratic Party supporters are staging protests in Sanford, demanding the repeal of Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law in the wake of the killing of black teenager, Trayvon Martin, by a Hispanic man, George Zimmerman. None of those hypocritical Democrats called for a repeal of the Stand Your Ground law when a white man in Tampa, David James, was killed [...]

The person was fired on [...]

Obama’s Plan to Divide America

Obama’s Plan to Divide America

“If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.” The death of Trayvon Martin is a tragedy--as was the death of a 6-year-old girl named Aliyah Shell , caught in the crossfire of gang violence over St. Patrick’s Day weekend in Chicago. But Aliyah's story received very little coverage, despite the event being more recent than the Martin tragedy, and despite the fact that it happened in President Barack Obama’s very own Chicago on a weekend when 49 people were shot and 10 others were killed. No mention of Aliyah from the president. No public outpouring for a young mother who sat untangling her daughter’s hair as shots rang out. Nothing. And yet... “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.” Why? Why would the president weigh in on this specific case at this specific [...]

Robert Zimmerman interview – “You’re gonna Die today”

LAKE MARY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - For the first time since that fateful night on February 26, the father of a neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed an unarmed teenager sat down for a television interview. Robert Zimmerman, father of George Zimmerman, said he decided it was time to speak out for his son, against the advice of others.   He shared with us what George said happened on the night that 17-year-old Trayvon Martin died. Complete coverage of Trayvon Martin shooting "It's my understanding that Trayvon Martin got on top of him and just started beating him," the 64-year-old Robert Zimmerman said. He said he felt his son has been portrayed in the wrong way.  He also said he and his family have received death threats and asked that we not show his face on [...]

Establishment Media Guide To “White Hispanic”

Establishment Media Guide To “White Hispanic”

By: Edmund Jenks - West Coast Editor Trayvon Martin, 17, was shot last month in the town of Sanford, Florida by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman, who has claimed self defense and has not been charged. The Trayvon Martin death at the apparent hands of a neighborhood watch individual named George Zimmerman has become a most troubling episode in American media culture. It reveals what happens when facts are over-run, unimportant, and only selected deaths of young black men are important when it seems to rise to the level of political exploitation by the forces that support a liberal, divide and control mentality. Under this view, in order to keep government front and center in the minds of all Americans, American unity must be broken down and marginalized so that we may [...]

What if Trayvon Martin Had Been White, and the Shooter Zimmerman Black?

What if Trayvon Martin Had Been White, and the Shooter Zimmerman Black?

What would happen if a black man armed with a handgun confronted "suspicious persons" in his neighborhood? What would happen if the "suspicious persons" were unarmed white teens, one of them was shot dead, and the shooter claimed self-defense? This is not an exercise in mere speculation. We know what would happen in such a case. There would be no white mobs in the street chanting "No justice, no peace!" There would be no whites holding a "million hoodie march" in New York City. There would be no white equivalent of Al Sharpton, the professional race-baiter behind the 1987 Tawana Brawley hoax, leading marches in the streets of the shooter's hometown. There would be no Federal civil rights investigation by the Justice Department. There would be no comments from a president who seems [...]
