Vintage Laura Ashley!
I instantly fell in love with this lovely little playsuit from the Vintage shop on Bricklane and think by making it look out of the ordinary yet also laid back summery I have found the perfect way of making this vintage gem bang on trend for hot summer days!

Were losing him! where is that Dr?!
Here I am! what seems to be the problem?
Welcome to my review of the Doc and patient set.
Set Name: Doc and patient
Set number: 4936
Parts: 18
Price: US $2.99 Exclusive
Figures: 2
Lets kick this off with a look at the front and back of this polybagged set. First of all the important front picture, detailing the set contents
The rear picture showing a smaller picture as well as all the text we wont often bother looking at!
Lets take a look at the one -page instruction sheet. On the front we see the simple construction, and on the rear we have a advertising poster for all the current city themes.
The patient comes with the standard flannelet printed torso and crewcut hairstyle, whilst the Dr comes with a stethoscope torso and nice ponytail hairpiece.
Unfortunately no printed rear torso's
Lets examine the 18 pieces in all their glory. Nothing out of the ordinary for my collection but maybe there is something there for you
Complete Build
For obvious reasons, this build took all of 1 minute to make, so I wont show progress pictures. Here is the completed hospital bed, with bedside table and drip stand attached. On the side table is a cup for the patient. The drip does have me worried, as I don't think I would be too keen to have that green substance put into my body Next to the bed are the two spare parts found in this set.
Complete with figures.
Here are a few shots showing the complete set up with figures.
Though this is a City themed set, its uses are open to all themes, be it battlefield medic in some far off space mission, or medieval witchcraft this Dr could be doing right by her patients.
Here is a selection of likely candidates needing her skilled hands!
Design: 7/10 I like the blue pillow, white bed end and drip stand. Including a cup is a nice touch too.
Playability: 7/10 Not a lot of moving parts in this set mean a lower playability score, but you still get minifigure interaction.
Pricing: 10/10 Great for the minifigures and parts included.
Overall: 8/10 Though this is only a small set, it has two minifigures in it, which is a bargain in anyones books!
This is a great little set for the pricing. It comes with two figures, which I'm sure most people would love to get in any other impulse set!
Dr you've done it again!
All in a days work
Thank you for looking.

Brass Rail
by FN 8:57 PM 1 comments
Hoboken, NJ 07030
Considering that I called Hoboken my home during my last few years in the City, I thought it was appropriate to start off my birthday weekend eating in one of Hoboken's classic restaurant bars. The Brass Rail is slightly more elevated than your average pub but not by much. There is still the big bar top, the flat screen TVs and the waitresses in tight fitting outfits but the food is purported to be a bit better. I've heard that the brunch, especially, is something worth trying.
Hence, I went there for dinner with two of my closest friends. The best thing I think I had for dinner was the beer. I ordered the Ayinger Brau-Weisse which is a traditional wheat beer served with a lemon. It came in a big half foot tall glass and had notes of sweetness with a murky color like you'd find in any good german wheat. The food, however, didn't live up to the beer. Additionally, I tried to snap some pics of the food but the restaurant (top floor) was especially dark, so much so that I had to hold my cell phone up to the menu when ordering.
For starters, we tried the Lobster Mac & Cheese with Black Truffle Butter. The truffle butter unfortunately, overwhelmed the flavors in the dish, enough so that you could barely find the lobster flavor. The cheesiness that you so crave in Mac & Cheese was missing and if shell pasta was slightly overcooked.
My choices for an entree were between the Roasted French Cut Duck Breast or the Pan Seared Day Boat Diver Scallops. Upon the recommendation of the waitress, I choose the scallops. The scallops had an intricate array of ingredients from a dusting of chili pepper on the scallops to roasted mushrooms, black beans & tomatoes, ancho pepper sauce and an avocado puree. I have to admit that I missed the mushrooms and avocado puree. What I did see was a bunch of scallops dusted with chili powder on top of some tortilla wrappers underneath the scallops with sauces drizzled all of them. On top of the scallops, however, was a mountain of leafy greens (mostly italian parsley I thought) which covered everything so thickly and thoroughly that you could almost call it a salad. the spiciness of the sauces were really done well but the scallops themselves were probably over-dusted with chili powder and slightly overcooked. Though they claimed the scallops were tacos, the tortillas were just awkward on the plate and you ended up just slicing them up and eating them with the scallops.
For dessert, I tried the Apple Crumb Cake with Vanilla Ice cream. The cake came out cold and should be served slightly warm so that the ice cream could melt a touch and melt into the pastry. This just felt like it was store bought, placed on a plate, and then ladled over with ice cream.
I will say, however, is that we didn't go to this place for the food. This was just an instance of friends wanting to get together and enjoy telling old war stories. This was accomplished quite well tonight and it was a great night to kick off further birthday celebration this weekend. In the future, we should really find a much better spot in Hoboken or maybe not even eat in Hoboken at all.

Mayor O'Leary leading city with courage
It would have been easy for Mayor Neil M. O'Leary to say no to having the youth of Waterbury shovel out the schools. Everyone would have understood. There was a potential for lawsuits, fraud and chaos, as well as the possible compromise of city workers' overtime. You, Mr. Mayor, said yes. Not only did you say yes, but you made it happen. The unity and goodwill your leadership created in our city was astounding.
Proverbs 21:1 says: "The king's (or mayor's) heart is like a stream of water directed by the LORD; he guides it wherever he pleases." Mayor O'Leary's heart is in the Lord's hand, and He will guide and protect the mayor in his leadership of this city.

" Uh...did anyone notice a week after the storm and none of the schools were open. Actually it sounds like a boondoggle. The storm was ten days ago and school is still not open. With today being presidents day , they had no real way to catch up with the storm in ten days? CT should not apply for federal relief from this storm. Our federal government is poor and honestly it is a real sham that we in New England should not expect,EXPECT AND PLAN for a blizzard every half decade or two in February, in New England. Ridiculous. I bet our shocking bailout for a shocking February Winter Storm in New England, will be a bill filled with pork for every imaginable State and PAC out there. Taxpayers are the biggest suckers ever born, collectively. They will just use PAC money to inundate you with commercials till you puke. "

"Trakoscan Castle VT meet" Trakoscan by Martin_S.
Trakoscan Travel Guide: 20 reviews and 123 photos
This is a view from below the Trakoscan Castle that both Zdenka and Boris assured us was a "must see" spot. Turns out they were correct, the area is beautiful, well worth a visit itself and then there is the well preserved castle.
Zdenka took this pic of us with Boris as we were touring the castle. As you can see they rolled out the red carpet for us that day, such illustrious guests as Zdenka and Boris, the formost VT guides to Croatia....^O^
Well you take your friends where you find them and Tal loves animals as much as they love her it seems. Everywhere we went we were picking up cats and dogs by the dozen and had to stop and make sure each got their personalized pet from Tal, she did an excellent job...
- Pros:Great country side and fantastic castle
- Cons:More could be done on restorations
- In a nutshell:Very worth the time to find it.
Reviews (10)
Zdenka, after yelling at me to hurry up and come down, then proceeded to stop and take pictures like this one ^O^, so... more travel advice
Okay, let the kids out to play, on the "porch" here at Trakoscan you can see that Zdenka, Tal, Zohara and Boris have... more travel advice
Tal found her a nice spot in the sun on the veranda, overlooking the manmade lake in the small forest glade below. All... more travel advice
Thanks to Zdenka I can see myself on the stairs of Trakoscan, all the time I was taking the pictures, I keep forgetting... more travel advice
Comments (7)
The castle and scenery look very appealing. We were in Croatia 4 months ago-but unable to see it all even though we tried. Nice job of showing the sites.
A nice page Martin, and a display of 'arms' from the 15th century, but what about the rest of the body! - only kidding :-)
Just the right VT spirit theme - Thank you, same here, see you soon! (I give up on e-mails = e-snails)
I don't know Boris but I am very fond of Zdenka, so reckon this would have been a great day out!
It seems that you had a great VTmeeting. Nice page.
oooh, that is a big bug... I'm with Zohara ugggh. Sounds like you had good recommendations... the castle looks like a great visit... luv Tal's shorts:-)
Who the hell is that Zdenka?! She seems like real pain in the ***, why didn't you just dump her in that manmade lake and have fun? :-)) Btw, this is the best page on Trakoscan! Even if there ever comes another page, this one will still be the best!

SACRAMENTO - The California Highway Patrol will have 131 new officers hitting the streets next week, including nine area men.
The latest graduating class includes Jose Alatorre of Galt, Christopher Allen and Jeffrey Myers of Salida, Lawrence Colon of Stockton, Mark Joyner of San Andreas, Steven Medeiros and Michael Penko of Manteca, Mathew Overby of Tracy and Christopher Thompson of Walnut Grove.
None of the new officers will be assigned to the Valley Division, which serves San Joaquin County and the Mother Lode. CHP spokeswoman Fran Clader said that is because our region's open spots are typically filled by more experienced officers who want to transfer here.

Tutorial: How to make textural "Fabric Paper"
As you know, fabric paper is one of my favorite materials and I use it in many different ways by printing on it using my inkjet printer when I make my art bags
and also painting on it for use as backgrounds on my art quilts.
There are *lots* of different ways to make fabric paper and I generally make it because I can create interesting and unique surface texture that can then be sewn either by hand or machine. And I use various different "recipes" for making fabric paper depending on exactly what I'm going to do with it.
This tutorial is super easy and shows you how to make painted textural fabric paper which you can then use as backgrounds for your art quilts or you could even cut it up and use it as fabric collage pieces. And for plain white fabric paper that you can paint on at a later date, simply omit the paint.
For more inspiration, visit the "Fabric Paper" section of my photo gallery.
What you'll need
– some muslin or plain cotton fabric
– tissue paper
– cheesecloth
– pva glue (plain old Elmers glue)
– fabric paint or acrylic paint
– a foam paintbrush
Let's go …
Take a piece of muslin and rinse it so that it's damp.
Then make your glue mixture – two tablespoons of pva glue mixed with half a cup of water. You can adjust this to suit your own personal needs.
Then add some color; either fabric paint or acrylic craft paint. Adding the paint to the glue mixture makes it really easy to apply to the fabric.
Using a foam brush, slop on the glue/paint mixture so that the muslin is saturated.
Next add some tissue paper. Tear it into strips and scrunch it up, then using the flat side of the foam brush, mash it onto the top of the muslin. Use extra glue/paint if necessary to flatten it down. Make sure it is quite flat with no air bubbles.
Cut some strips or bits of cheesecloth and mash them onto the top of the tissue paper in the same way.
You can now add bits of extra color for contrast if you like.
Now go away and leave it alone until it dries. Since it's a big sloppy mess, this might take a little while. I usually leave it overnight.
Once it dries, the fabric paper is quite stiff but handling it softens it up. And of course they are fully stitchable. Have fun!

luv ur site;;;i work long days and ur blog helps me to realize that i CAN b creative, too…thnx ck
This is really cool. I never knew how that was done and wasn't really interested in it until now. Thanks for sharing your technique! I'm going to give that a try today!
Good luck Barbara, this is one of my very favorite techniques and I use it in a lot of different ways. I hope you enjoy!
This was a long time ago! I did do it. It's a fabulous technique! I made a base for paintings of my SkyGirls for a community gallery school show where I taught kids sewing.
These would be the perfect base for a treasure map!
You inspire me! Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing this. You have inspired me to take on my art work after a gap of some 25 years. I intend to keep going.
Thanks Padma, I think it's so important to be creative even if it's just for a short while every day or week. Making it a regular practice will change you in so many good ways. Good luck!
Just in time for my final piece for my Bachelor in visual arts degree. I had never heard of this technique before.
Many thanks for putting this information up for us to see.
Good luck Lara – it's a fun technique!
I tried this! I love it for a painting surface. I did 3 paintings in a week! It was inspiring to have a "new" surface to work with. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Barbara, I'm glad you were inspired by the technique!
These are beautiful, I can think of many ideas for using these..and many other fun things to incorporate also. I'm curious as to how they hold up to washing?
Ricki, This is not something that would wash so if you tried to wash it it would fall apart.
Hi Linda. I just love your work so much. Thank you for sharing with all of us all the time. You definately inspire me. I love the fabric paper idea, it looks awesome. On the green one, there is a lot of extra texture. Is that from the paper? I love the look. Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing this. I love it. I'm going to give that a try.
Thanks for sharing…I will practice this morning..I love the texture.
Thanks for sharing this technique. Can it be ironed?
Yes, but you'll want to protect your iron by using a pressing cloth or something similar.
Thanks so much for sharing that, Linda. I have done a little of this but your method goes much farther. Very beautiful! You are impressive!!!!
Just wanted to say Thank you for putting this together and sharing with us. I have bit the bullet and started a fabric art journal for this year and I am really looking forward to trying this. Happy New Year.
Hi Linda! I love the uniqueness of the fabric paper as none of them are alike! Now, can I use this "fabric" to make a traveler journal (like a Midori, or in this case, a fabricdori?)
I don't know what a traveler journal is so I guess all you can do is try. It will either work – or it won't.
Just Wanted To Say Thank you

I have an IPOD Touch 4 and i was hoping to convert it to a phone. However in india we don't have VOIP support, but my phone "HTC TOUCH" supports Remote Sim. I am looking for an app which can allow my ipod to control my phone and also enable me to make calls thru my ipod by dialing on my phone. is it possible?
Not possibly currently I'm afraid. Certainly, you'd have to have a jailbroken Touch as a starting point. No way you'd be able to do this on a stock iPod Touch. Even then, I'm not aware of anything out there that will do this.

Blog: Weekend Heat, Little Rain, and Darby Threatens Hawaii
The heat is on for the Tidewater Area this weekend! An Upper Level Ridge of High Pressure that dominated the center of the country this week (basically serving as a Heat dome) is shifting east towards us. Therefore, we will tap into some unseasonably warm air. Highs this entire weekend will reach the mid 90s (average highs should be in the upper 80s). Couple the high heat with high dew points (because of the plethora of low level moisture in the air)…and this will lead to heat index values climbing back above 100 degrees each afternoon.

Research Paper Introduction: Tips from 2 Writers
The introduction for a research paper is the beginning section of the document that contextualizes the topic and articulates the paper's thesis. Introductions for research papers will vary depending on the type of research paper and the length requirements; however, all reference report introductions should contain information that allows the reader to fully understand the topic, the topic's relevance, and the article's thesis before proceeding to more in-depth examination or exploration.
An introduction for a research paper will be quite different from an introduction for an article. An article is a more flexible writing form in which writers are often encouraged to be creative in their presentation. Research papers, on the other hand, must be very straightforward and transparent. Therefore, writers of research papers are encouraged to save their creativity for their analysis rather than their introductions.
The first function of the introduction is to define and contextualize the topic. This means that the topic should first be thoroughly explained and then contextualized through an explanation of the topic's relevance. For instance, if the report were on the gravitational pull of black holes, the introduction would explain what the gravitational pull of black holes is and then give the reason why the gravitational pull of black holes is a relevant topic of data collection. When writing introductions for research papers, learners should be sure to fully explain and contextualize, but should stay on track—the explanation and contextualization are only background information for the thesis, which is the main point of the document. Therefore, the explanation and contextualization should be thorough, but as concise as possible. The length of the introduction for a research paper will often depend on the complexity of the topic, because more complex topics (such as the gravitational pull of black holes) require more lengthy contextualization and explanation
After the topic has been explained and contextualized, the writer should present her thesis statement—her main point or argument regarding the topic. The thesis statement follows the explanation and contextualization of the topic because it is only after the topic has been explained and contextualized that a specific argument about that topic can make sense to the reader. This thesis should be clearly articulated in a sentence or group of sentences that assert the research writer's primary point regarding the topic. Often, introductions for research papers end with the assertion of the thesis statement or a sentence or two that explain and contextualize why the thesis is a relevant topic of inquiry.
Viewpoint of Author #2
The research paper introduction requires unique formatting and content. In order to write effective project introductions, students must be sure that they first understand the topic and requirements.
A research paper is a formal academic document that learners write after they have spent an extended amount of time researching a particular subject. Students in all grades and courses may have to write research papers many times over the period of the course and over the academic careers, in general.
Research reports should follow a specific format, which includes an introduction, body, conclusion, and supporting documents, such as an appendix and references. Regardless of the course or the level of academic study, learners should follow a similar research paper format.
The research paper introduction is one of the most important parts of the report because it introduces readers to the topic of the report and provides background information about the topic. The research paper introduction also contains the thesis statement for the entire research paper, which may be included in the first or last paragraph of the introduction.
In order to write effective project introductions, learners should format their introductions like an inverted pyramid, with general information at the beginning of the introduction and specific information at the end of the introduction. In fact, all reports should be formatted in the inverted pyramid style if students want to write a document that has good flow.
In most cases, research paper introductions should be limited to just one paragraph. However, if students are writing very formal research papers, such as dissertations or theses, then the students may wish to make the report introduction several paragraphs or pages. Students should keep in mind that research paper introductions merely introduce a topic; they do not explain the student's findings in detail. The body of the document gives further explanation that supports the introduction and thesis.
One of the major differences between the report introduction and body of the document is that the introduction should not introduce any new information. The body of the document is where students should introduce new information and ideas. The introduction merely gives background information and explains why the content in the article is important. Any ideas presented in the introduction should be general.

From the Publisher
In The Happiest Mom, you share 10 secrets to enjoying motherhood. What do you think is the most important secret?
We decided to open the book with this secret: Take The Easy Way Out. Of course, good parenting requires a lot of effort--but you won't score extra points for difficulty, so there's no point making motherhood harder than it has to be. That doesn't mean you do everything by halves or don't bother trying, it means setting up your life so that you're putting effort into the things that really matter to you. Also, the tips we give throughout the rest of the book will actually help your life as a mom feel easier. For example, if you have a good support network in place, motherhood will feel easier. If you learn systems that help you stay reasonably organized and on top of your kids' homework and calendar, motherhood will feel easier. If you focus on the things that matter to you - and not necessarily the ones that matter to other people - motherhood will feel easier. If being a mom seems hard all the time, The Happiest Mom will definitely help you zero in on the areas you could take the easier way out. The end result is that you'll be happier, and so will your kids.
From the Author
A lot of mom-oriented books focus on the struggles and frustrations of motherhood. Why did you take a different angle in this book?
When I became a mom over 13 years ago, books about parenting seemed mostly preachy or unrealistically soft-focused. I can still remember how ground-breaking the "Girlfriend's Guide" books were in the 1990's! It was the first time many new moms could remember reading anything that gave the straight dirt about what motherhood could do to your body, bank account, you name it.
The 2000's ushered in a slew of "keeping it real" books and blogs about motherhood that shone a light on the darker side. That was great, but the pendulum swung so far in that direction that it started to seem like motherhood is nothing but 24-7 misery, and worse, that there's nothing you can do about it but hang on, pour a drink, and wait for high-school graduation. It became almost uncool to admit to being a happy mom, or to share positive stories about motherhood. People thought you were either lying, or worse, bragging.
But I wanted to tell the other side of the story. Yes, motherhood is tough at times, but moms can be happy. What's more, there are small, simple things we can do every day to make our lives a little easier, a lot better, and way more satisfying. I wanted moms to know that yes, you can use the words "happy" and "mother" in the same sentence! And I knew that as a mom of five who was once pretty unhappy but who has gotten happier through the years, I had a lot of advice to share.

Skip to comments.Karl Rove finds the non-Romney candidates unacceptable
Posted on 10/28/2011 12:43:59 PM PDT by Leaning Right
click here to read article
That is exactly right. Any Palin supporter could tell you that most of us held strong until she told us herself that she wasn't running. The majority of us certainly didn't run off to support another candidate while the question remained open.
Now that she's made her choice, we Palinistas are shifting our support to the next best outsider/reformer (who can also win), which is Herman Cain.
You are right.
You agree with a banned Mittbot?
Good riddance to the Mittbot. I wonder how many others will commit freepicide before this is over.
Neither. It's news. Why shouldn't they report it? Or do you prefer to be kept in the dark? Rove's pretty influential. It might be good to know what he's up to.
No one needs to attack Cain, his lead will soften if he doesn't sharpen up on message (to avoid confusion) and work on specifics in other areas.
Sadly, yes.
Romney is going to win by default. Just like McCain did. And he just might loose the election because there will be no real choice.
Turn in your Vast Right Wing Conspiracy card. You've already surrendered.
Sorry that I wasn't more specific. With my co-conspirator comment I wasn't referring to that particular clip of Rove, but to the way Fox constantly and endlessly features Rove.
I'm surprised that Fox hasn't yet brought Rove in to pass judgment on the world series or the weather report.
The only thing Rove built was the modern state of the GOP as the tower of babel.
He's done enough to take the GOP down to a permanent minority status by cleansing all ideas for conservative reform and leadership from the party.
Rove is the one who thought it beneath him to defend President Bush against the onslaught of leftist lies we endured and that brought a communist into the White House.
Its past time conservatives and Republicans woke up to the damage done by RINOs. In many respects, they are worse than Democrats.
You KNOW where Democrats stand. But the Roves, Romneys, McCains and Lindsey Grahams pretend to stand with you in the battle line. Then, when the face of the enemy is in front of you - THEY stab you in the back,
I couldn't find that one, but less than a week ago, AntiRinos posted a video here that gives you Romney's views in favor of abortion, gun control, anthropogenic global warming, the stimulus bills, etc. After watching it, I made sure to "like" it.
Was Mark Seidenberg the fellow who registered a land claim to part of Wrangel Island at an Alaskan Land Office and then sued Kissinger for signing away American claims to that island? Wrangel Island was a part of the Gulag where heroic Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg is said to have been imprisoned as late as 1962.
I don't need too. I stopped watching FOX several years ago. Rove and Newt too political has beens who just can't stay away from cameras and still think they are somehow relevant.
I don't care what anybody is up to, especially if that anybody is Rove. I quit listening to him a long time ago. That being said, I think that he's particularly down on Cain because he's not mainstream Republican which, unfortunately, has a strong base of RINOs running it. If Cain gets the nomination, I'm guessing that tiic in charge of the Republicans will work against him. Rove has seen his powerbase slipping away from him and he wants it back. He can more easily accomplish that with Romney than with Cain and that's why he is pushing Romney.
I refuse to support Romney. At this point, I am more than willing to support and vote for Cain.
Yes, that's the guy. For years, he was a thorn in the side of the State Department. He was very active in YAF, and a few years ago, he tried to get on the board that runs the Auto Club. He's still active in conservative causes.
The stories of Gulags and Wallenberg on Wrangel Island are likely urban legends. However, having known Seidenberg, I have learned a lot about the island, and the fact that we did nothing after the Soviets seized it in 1924 is the one beef I have against the Coolidge administration.
Was George W. Bush acceptable?

E3 2012: Madden NFL 13 Details Revealed
Written Monday, June 04, 2012 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
EA Sports has just revealed a few gameplay details on Madden 13.
Speaking on stage, Madden General Manager Cam Webber talked the crowd through the game's new features. These include a brand new physics engine called the Infinity Engine. EA Sports reckon it gives the game "the most authentic gameplay we've every created, with countless possibilities." Taking into account player weight and strength, as well as momentum, it sounds a little like FIFA's Impact Engine.
You can also regain balance and fight for a couple more yards if a tackle isn't completely successful. There's a new Careers Mode too, called Connected Careers. It makes one connected universe for the game, with social, storyline and progression features built in. You can play as a coach, legend, or as yourself through the story of your career, earning XP and leveling up as you go.
The story engine even provides a virtual Twitter feed and there's Kinect voice command stuff. Madden NFL 13 is out on August 28th, 2012.

Rev. Marvin Webb of Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church in Richmond, California, prayed that Congress and Treasury Secretary
Henry Paulson would provide help to Americans who are facing

As they prayed, Paulson was telling the House Financial Services

Well, I guess the stew of religious authoritarianism and social Darwinism the GOP has been cooking has finally begun to burn.
Oops, sorry for the double post.
You're welcome, America!
it really is amazing how the gay issue is a non-issue for the under 30 set. for example, if you check sports wedsites for stuff on tony dungy and his anti-gay attitude, most of the main ones, like espn and si, so readers that are supportive of dungy.
check out deadspin though. mostly read by young people, the websites editor and something like 98% of it's readers were not just making fun of dungy, but making fun of anyone who thinks that gay marriage is bad. by the time us young folks are hitting the middle ages, gay marriage will be looked upon as a boring issue.
love those stats. as a left-leaning-but-refuse-to-align-with-a-single-party guy, it does my heart good that support for troops is high and support for Bush's leadership is down!
it is a slow road, but we will get there...
Very optimistic, but beware. Howard Stern rapped about this once last year. He said when he was a kid, he couldn't wait for his generation to take over. Weed would be legalized, no one would be bitching about abortion, The gays would be left alone, and, most importantly, the religious kooks that were everywhere would be properly marginalized.
But unfortunately, something happened. The boomers lost their balls along the way, or bought into that ol' timey religion, or simply sold their souls to the Corporations. Who knows, maybe Sullivan is right. I hope he is, but I have learned not to underestimate how dumb & gullible Americans can be.
So the last six years weren't a complete waste.
Mike in MO is absolutely correct.
The problem is that Republicans say they stand for small government, strong national defense, fiscal responsibility, family values (Really? Whose family? Whose values?) blah blah blah, but then their actions produce the opposite result. Their party has become institutionally dishonest, hypocritical and just plain nasty.
Most Americans aren't much better. They want lower taxes, yet demand more services and have helped transfer the largest amount of wealth to the smallest number of people since the Gilded Age through regressive taxation.
This damning article in from the New Yorker about how self-contradictory and illogical the public has become is a must read. Warning: You should have shot ready when you've finished this one, you'll need it.
"...after analyzing the results of surveys conducted over time, in which people tended to give different and randomly inconsistent answers to the same questions, Converse concluded that very substantial portions of the public hold opinions that are essentially meaninglessoff-the-top-of-the-head responses to questions they have never thought about, derived from no underlying set of principles. These people might as well base their political choices on the weather. And, in fact, many of them do."
Mike, I tend to agree with you. I'm only 22, and I already have noticed my own political views mellowing as I get older. I'm still solidly liberal, but I've backed away from socialism and found the far left pretty damn shrill. That said, there's a big difference between our generation and that of the boomers. While we have our own war, we have been careful (unlike the young, liberal boomers)not to resort to tactics that alienate moderates. You see very few people on the left spouting off about Amerika these days. That's a good thing.
Pay attention to what they do - and how much they hate our American values of Truth, Justice, and the American Middle Class Way of Life - not what the Liar Reds say.
Well, the Reps will just have to create a new coallition, won't they? The good news is that it won't ressemble a lot the present coallition, and it might be much more liberal, especially moral-value-wise.
Hmmm, most loyal Democratic base since the New Deal? Damn, now if we could just find a President like FDR we could be set for a come back.
No, the next generation isn't going to be a magical cure for everything. But it will be more liberal than the previous one, just like every generation since the industrial revolution has been. That's why the right has been so freaked out about gay issues. They know this was their last chance to do something about it.
@15 - just like they stopped mixed marriages ... oh, wait, eventually the nation moves on ...
Democratic liberalism is much more moderate than it used to be. Even if Americans are turning away from Republican "policies" (which are really nothing more than giveaways to their cronies), any really liberal, Great Society programs would still be a hard sell.
Nah, Kesh, we'll all have nationalized medicine one day.
And gay marriage? and legalized MJ for all (not just medical)?
Will, I hope you're right, but I doubt we'll live that long (and I'm not that old).
What, are you like 60?
I predict it will be somewhere in the 2020's, actually.
And then everyone will get on with their lives and come up some other stupid non-crisis to hue and cry about.
My best friend's dad told us when we first voted that most people are Democrats when they're young, and most turn Republican as they get older.
I don't plan on doing this, but it is true that a lot of people end up becoming much more financially and socially conservative as they get older.
So yeah, I think in general some issues will be better once my generation grows up and has more influence, but I don't think the country is going to swing far left by any stretch of the imagination.
And frankly, I'm far less concerned about universal health care and legalized marijuana than I am with reforming Social Security so I don't have to pay half my income to support the baby boomers.
"My best friend's dad told us when we first voted that most people are Democrats when they're young, and most turn Republican as they get older."
In my experience, that's not true: Most of my parent's friends were solidly Democrat, and stayed that way.
But, of course, I am older (42) and was born to older parents (my dad was 45, my mom was 40 when I happened along, quite by accident) so they were children of the depression, and had seen the results of Republican control, and how the Democrats bailed everyone out.
To me, the GOP has always been the party of greed and willful ignorance. The dullards who would forever pound at the square peg, thinking with each pound that it would suddenly, magically fit in the round hole. The people who yearn for an American that never existed outside of the covers of the Saturday Evening Post or an Andy Hardy movie. (I would say Capra, but his films - while idealistic as well - were pretty solidly Democrat)
I have no time for the GOP. I get frustrated with the Dems all the time, but at least there's a veneer of civility and - in my opinion - a core of good intentions. It's just the monied hangers on that mess it up.
Descartes wrote in loose translation, "If you are young and not liberal, you have no heart. If you are old and not conservative you have no brains." He was not trying to praise or damn either set with the statement, just telling it like it is. It is the work of youth to push society and test its moral pronoucements. It is the work of the elders to defend and remember the lessons of the past.

SANFORD, Fla. (AP)
After deliberating for more than 15 hours over two days, jurors have reached a verdict in George Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial.
The jurors notified the judge Saturday night a little before 10 p.m. that they had reached a decision. It will be announced shortly.
The six-member, all-woman jury began deliberating at 2:30 p.m. Friday after spending part of the day listening to the defense closing arguments and a rebuttal from the prosecution.
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in Trayvon Martin's death, but jurors could also choose manslaughter. Zimmerman claims he shot Martin in self-defense.
The case drew massive protests after a 44-day delay in Zimmerman's arrest. Demonstrators demanded Zimmerman's arrest.
The police chief in Sanford, where Martin was shot and where the trial is being held, urged peace after the verdict is read.
No justice for people of color in the USA. Check out the difference between execution (let alone guilty conviction) rates in murder cases when there's a black victim/white defendant to when there's a white victim/black defendant. The difference is as black is to white. Jim Crow never left America.
So the original decision of the original district attorney and police was correct. There never was enough evidence to support a conviction, the charges never should have been brought, and this whole thing was a politically motivated witch hunt.
Now I hope that George Zimmerman sues the state of Florida into bankruptcy for wrongful persecution. I hope he takes the entire state for every penny they have, or ever will have.
Justice prevailed.
Dancing in the streets when OJ got off. Let's wait and see what happens next.
That's Similar To My Thoughts Gj...If George Zimmerman Has Legitimately Been Found Not Guilty, Then I Guess Oj`S Verdict Was Just As Well.
Common sense has prevailed ! But I see the people of color complaining it wasn't fair. But there was a black juror who voted "Not Guilty" So what can they really say ?
All the pre-trial guilty opinions, media hype and persecutions did not stop justice. The state HAD to prosecute to appease public outcry, but in the end they did not have the evidence to convict. Zimmerman is free because justice prevailed. He was attacked and defended himself while he was on the ground with Trayvon sitting on top of him trying to beat his brains out.
Hey!! parlayhenry and I agree on making Florida pay for their misconduct in this case. Slightly different perspectives.....but we do agree.
One for the good guys! Stand your ground forever and forever! Al Sharpton is right now organizing a flash mob in protest. Too bad, Al, the jury has spoken.
Justice prevailed. The Legal system should be blind to color and political machinations. Watching the trial it was like Bizzaro land with the Defense arguing the facts and the "nuts & bolts" and the Prosecution just trying to get the Jurors to emote and ignore the facts.
By the law of the USA, justice has been served.
Kudos to the jury that saw the facts as they were presented to them and make the only logical decision possible.
Hey parlayhenry:
The answer to your first "litmus" test is a "NO" in both cases; and also "NO" I am not a liar. What evidence do you have that I am??.......Oh, that's right, you don't seem to feel that evidence is necessary to form an opinion and make statements.
Parlayhenry, answer this...
Are you assuming that a man killed someone, police let it slide, and a jury acquitted a guilty man ALL because the person who died was black?
That's a strong assumption. The assumption that the nitwit Zimmerman made (that a hooded teen is a criminal) pales in comparison.
And finally, once again, this guy isn't white so it doesn't for your narrative.
Attis I did check the execution rates by race you are correct they are very lopsided
this is all executions since 1976
and to add to that they population of death row
so white are 1.26% more of the death row inmates yet their execution rates are 21% higher. Sounds like race definitely plays into who gets executed
Zimmerman is not a racist? then who was he referring to as "those people always get away with it? Zimmerman broke the law when he left his car to hunt martin. how did Zimmerman reach his gun when martins knees were in his armpits as Zimmerman testifies? the prosecution blew this case. Zimmerman is guilty.
there was never any doubt that he was innocent. too much "reasonable doubt " to send this bozo to prison. this is just all MEDIA HYPE trying to get the most outrageous black "performer" some tv time about how outraged they are over an obvious verdict.
Parlay: Kudos to you for NOT being a hippocrite. You are very consistent in believing "guilty before proving innocence" or worse "guilty and not allowed to prove innocence"
Hey constructor, talk about killers, how about Obama's CHICAGO?
Parlay, what does your litmus test prove? What bearing does it have on a case of facts?
The jury went through the voir dire process so obviously both the prosecution and the defense felt they could get a fair trial. The jury dealt with the facts as they were presented to them. So instead of blaming the jury, perhaps the prosecution is to blame for trying to go for murder when they had a weak case to begin with.
Papa, your statement is in error. What law did Zimmerman break when he left his car? The police said not to follow Martin, Zimmerman made a poor choice of judgement when he did anyway. Still, no law broken.
The facts are this no matter how you want to slice it. Zimmerman did nothing illegal that anyone but he and Martin know of. After he left to confront Martin, Zimmerman could have been the instigator or Martin could have been. Unless Zimmerman says different we will never know.
Justice has been served with the facts at hand.
Trayvon got exactly what he deserved. Dress like a thug, act like a thug, and get treated like a thug.
This red-neck Republican would have voted for manslaughter for the simple reason that you don't use a gun because you are taking some punches in a little fist fight you had a part in instigating. I don't care who was on top or who threw the first punch, this Zimmerman helped cause this altercation and then shoots some kid because he wasn't prepared to get his nose broken? So then what was Mr. Fraidy Cat doing on the patrol if he was going to shoot some kid in a panic pinch? Never should have been a murder trial, but was a slam-dunk manslaughter any day. News media screwed this up ever which way. If they had stayed out of it, this guy would have pled to a manslaughter and would be doing some jail time and this would have been over. He knew this was a kid, he knew he antagonized this kid following him around, and he didn't need to shoot him in the chest at the very least of it. Could have winged him surely if it came to shooting, which it didn't need to. This wasn't a situation where the kid jumped him to mug him. And another thing - just like the OJ case, no prosecutor is going to be as effective as the Defense money boys. And they also knew no all-woman jury was going to get the etiquette of a fist fight - that worked in Defenses favor, too, and they knew that and the numbskull prosecutor didn't. . Well this is all a big mess now, and no good will come from it - for either side.
Didn't see the blacks rioting when OJ got off for murder. Didn't see the blacks rioting when MJ got off for molesting little boys. No they were cheering in the streets. Didn't see Al Sharpton apologize to the young men who were wrongly accused of raping a black girl in North Carolina. Let me guess Jesse Jackson is going to say that racists are against his son for stealing from his own campaign. The four biggest racist in this country are Jesse, Al, Eric and Barry.
As I've said many times in the past: Racism has always existed to some degree and always will.
These posts are a prime example.
The state failed to make its case, the system works. Parlay is speaking strictly on emotion judging from his posts, because the facts of the case overwhelmingly support the verdict that was delivered.
As far as shooting or not shooting, the reality is this: if you are on the ground getting the crap pounded out of you and you legitimately feel your life is in danger, chances are you are not thinking about where to shoot the guy that would least damage him--you just want him off.
The best the prosecution could have hoped for was a manslaughter charge, and even that was shaky.
Parlay, it`s humorous how you talk about the injustice of profiling blacks yet here you are posting about how we that say justice is served are nothing but Obama hating, right wing nuts. Your comment about knowing what kind of poster Harleydog is, is making an assumption and a type of profiling isn`t it?
Facts we should know, but were not generally released to avoid painting Trayvon as a bad guy...I read today that Trayvon was suspended from school at the time due to being caught in school with bags of marijuana residue as well as women's jewelry and lock breaking tools. Some students said he was a nice guy who supplied marijuana to fellow students. He had a record in school as well as with the police, but all was destroyed to avoid bad publicity for the school. He was often tardy or did not show for school and would break into homes on this way to school. In addition, the media photo of Trayvon is actually 4 years old when he was a younger teen. His real photo shows an older and sterner looking adult rather than the angelic youngster in a hoodie. Trayvon was suspended from school for 5 days, but his parents did not know where he was for 3 days until they heard he was killed.
All of this should not be used to convict him as a criminal, but it does paint a picture of Trayvon not being the saint some are attempting to convince us that he was.
Another assumption I see...
I guess by the facts presented in your posts, you`re guilty of profiling as well.
Parlay, how do you sleep at night with all those racists hiding behind every bush? Don`t you think you are being a little paranoid? Am I to believe that the jury sent a not guilty verdict because they feared for their lives? Really? WOW!
I guess facts, or lack of in this case played little part in the outcome. It was one big conspiracy.
What logical deduction did you make? Because I go by Antiyoungstown I hate President Obama, am a racist, and I`m right wing? Where is that logic?
As for post 21 and 22, neither are mine. And i don't know what you mean about post 24.
Tell you what, go to sleep, put a logical, fact based post up. That is, of course if the racist boogie man doesn`t get you first. :)
Strip him of his gun and Zimmerman has no power to kill. LET'S GET ALL OF THE GUNS OFF THE STREETS!
Well Parlay, I`ve re-read all your posts and as much as you feel my reading and comprehension skills are lacking, I have to disagree. I have followed your train of thought and responded accordingly.
Actually, perhaps YOU need to look over the posts. You`ve tied me to posts 21 and 22, neither of which I have made. Post 24 has nothing to do with our conversation so I am at a loss as to what you want me to respond to there.
As far as what my reaction would be if Travon was my son? That is impossible for me to respond to. Being a victim of prejudice myself, I have always erred on the side of caution. Never making a move that might be deemed aggressive. Diffusing any potential situation with respect and calmness. I believe my children would do the same regardless. It is a wise stance regardless of anyone`s color or ethnicity. As you stated, you never know what nut job you may come across nowadays.
Your logical deduction is nothing of the sort. You`ve taken a specific, a poster`s name and his opinion of the case, and made a generalization. "One-hundred-percent of those who are in Zimmerman's corner are right-wingers who exhibit racial prejudice and who hate Obama."- Parlay.
Here is another,
"Post #16...Oh, that's you AntiObama, Antiblack....I mean, AntiYoungstown....you made up your mind the same as Post #14" – Parlay.
I have given you no indication what my racial or political views are, yet you have profiled me.
Your train of thought that you are holding dear to can be used this same way. Example- Black people have been caught stealing and murdering. Travon was black. Therefore Travon was a murderer and a thief.
No difference, correct? You are the same as the people you are accusing. Making grand assumptions, profiling without facts, all opinion and theory.
Martin was also racist, or is reverse racism OK?
OJ kills TWO people, leaves his children without parents and the black community danced in the streets.
What if Martin attacked Zimmerman because he was a "cracker?"
How did Zimmerman know if Martin had a weapon?
Record numbers turn out to vote in black communities when a black man runs for office, because of his politics? HELL NO.
"•Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.
•When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife"
Those are facts: More black people are in the justice system because more black people commit crime.
BLACK ON BLACK crime in Chicago is at alarming rates, Send Jesse Jackson to IL have him lobby to bring those to trial.
Profiles are useful tools~ Old polish grandma's don't blow up buildings and planes. ~ Soccer Mom's usually don't hijack cars.
IF you profiling to stop~ Change the culture.
Just as an aside related to this since MIZZ brought this up, the whole concept of "reverse racism" is bogus. It is a false term that the media has attempted to use to classify different kinds of racism, particularly when the media uses it to describe whites accusing blacks of "reverse racism" and that it is some unproven phenomenon when they speak of it.
According to Oxford Dictionary, racism is defined as "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior:" Therefore if you were to apply the term "reverse racism" correctly, it would refer to someone who is not racist at all.
The term racism does not belong to one single group, any group could be racist against another group. There does not need to be a separate classification like "reverse racism". Racism is racism, period, and it is a two way street.
lol, parlay. Emotion? Hardly.
As usual, the astound me with your response.
(In case you didn`t know, that`s sarcasm)
Sorry, "you" instead of "the".
Parlay: Have YOU ever said anything racist about whites, Mexicans, Italians, Latinos, etc.? You bet you have! You failed your test. I think its lookie in the mirror time, eh?
The Media was sickening. They did everything they could to get a conviction. First they show nothing but those pictures of Martin when he was 13, then they alter the 911 tape to make Zimmerman seem racist, then MSNBC flashes a picture of Martin's body with the caption "get angry". They were biased from the word go.
Parley............ Im sorry, you seem to me to be more of the problem than the solution... Just because I don't agree with you, Im now worse than a middle eastern terrorist? Whats next: Punishment for going against your views? You see where im going with this???? Most likely not. What happened was indeed tragic. The jury spoke. If justice was not served, the ultimate judge will decide in the end, don't you agree Parlay?? Maybe that guy did skirt justice, Maybe not. We all get ours in the end.
Parlay, no response to my post? I`m disappointed. Now I have nothing to amuse myself over morning coffee. :)
It would be instructive if people were to listen to Z's call to the non-emergency police line, since he never called 911. His initial statements were that there was a suspicious character walking around the buildings and could they send a police car to investigate. The dispatcher then started asking probitive questions: what was his race, age, which way is he headed, etc. So, the dispatcher put Z into the wanna-be cop (hero) mode and he was going to demonstrate his ability. When Z lost sight of Martin, he got out of his vehicle and pursued so he could keep providing info to the police. When the dispatcher heard Z panting because he was in quick pursuit, he was told "You don't need to do that" to which Z responded "OK" and the huffing and puffing stopped. At that point, he was returning to his vehicle, still talking to the dispatcher, asking when the police were going to get there and where he should meet them. So, Z did obey the dispatcher, even though he was not obligated to do so, he knew a car was on its way and he wanted to meet the officers. Now, we know from testimony from Rachel Zaentel, that Martin believed he was being followed by a "creepy-ass cracker" but had ample time - remember the four minutes that the atty demonstrated in closing - to make it back to his residence but instead chose to cross paths with Zimmerman. It is highly doubtful that Martin, with his street cred, would have taken on Zimmerman is his gun was pulled. Obviously, the confrontation escalated and it seems logical that Martin threw the first punch since Z had a broken nose and Martin had no other injuries except the shot in the heart. Z was getting whooped, as the eyewitness indicated, Martin was on top and when his head was banged off the concrete, he feared for his life and shot Martin. Simple case of self-defense and it is the reason that you need a CCW permit. A real tragedy that could have been avoided except that someone escalated the verbal confrontation into a physical one and there is no conclusive proof who did it. Therefore, reasonable doubt and a not guilty verdict, but not innocent. And, no civil case will follow since Z is protected under the immunity law in Fla. since a jury found him not guilty of murder or manslaughter and the homicide was justifiable.
The villian here is the gun. It is not about black or white. It is all about the small and weak minded having the power to kill at will. Without the gun Zimmerman would not have been bold enough to even get out of his vehicle. LET'S GET ALL OF THE GUNS OFF THE STREETS!
We are a nation of law for the protection of the people. Zimmerman was judge, jury and executioner. No one man should have such power. To restore law and order we need to give those who are suspected of a crime their day in court. Zimmerman got his day in court but Trayvon had his life quickly ended. There was no justice for Trayvon. LET'S GET ALL OF THE GUNS OFF THE STREETS!
The left continues to push the narrative that America is a racist nation, George Zimmerman was a crazed, racist wannabe cop and Trayvon Martin was an innocent child.
None of that is true.
Trayvon Martin was well on his way to a life of crime, a life that would feature at best, the revolving door of the criminal justice system or possibly even a lifetime stay at a penal facility. Or, at worst, a shortened life, ended by someone else.
Trayvon Martin was a product of American liberal social policies. A single mother raised him. His school was more concerned about appeasing the civil rights hucksters than whether Trayvon Martin was either educated or taught basic responsibilities.
The story of Trayvon Martin's life is not irrelevant. It is the major cause of what happened that night he encountered George Zimmerman. The left has tried to demonize Zimmerman and has tried to canonize St. Trayvon.
The truth is Trayvon Martin was a 17-year-old thug who was the architect of his own demise.
That is the story that should be told. Perhaps if that story and the truth about Trayvon Martin is told, it might prevent the next Trayvon Martin.
We are indeed a nation of laws. Zimmerman had a lawful permit to carry his weapon. When he was assaulted by Trayvon, the laws of self-defense allowed him to use deadly force to prevent grave harm or death. Why didn't Trayvon not back down? Ever bounce your head off concrete? I have and it is frightening. A tragic situation that was escalated by Trayvon, reasonably forcing Zimmermen to act the way he did.
Either Zim was very stunned with the broken nose or showed a LOT of restraint.... I heard a lot of yelling for help when I should have heard a loud bang.
Better think again before you punch a short, chubby Latino in the face.....He just might be packin'!!
If you can't take a beating then don't pick a fight. Kill someone during a fight with a gun or a knife and you deserve to get charged. LET'S GET ALL OF THE GUNS OFF THE STREETS!
Deconstruct all you want! If Zimmerman didn't have a gun Trayvon would still be alive. Guns are not racial they kill whoever is in the path of the bullet. LET'S GET ALL OF THE GUNS OFF THE STREETS!
If Zimmerman didn't have a gun, he would be dead. Zimmerman probably never had a fight in his life. Martin was a thug who had many fights in his lifetime.
Don't go around punching people in the face because you think you're some kind of "Bad-A$$" from a moronic rap video, and you won't get shot. Pretty simple!
I need clarification so I am asking for a clear, logical explanation. Feel free to respond if anyone can.
Innocent until proven guilty. That is how the law works, correct? As I understand it the situation played out as such. Zimmerman calls in a suspicious person in the area. He receives advice not to continue pursuit but does anyway. To this point we know no law had been broken. There was no indication or proof at this time that Trayvon was being racially profiled since Zimmerman did not use any racial slurs.
Now, we go to a conversation that Trayvon was having on his cell phone at or about the same time. As the witness said on the stand under oath, Trayvon said he was being followed by a creepy-*** cracker. (A racial slur).
Moving forward, no one but Zimmerman truly knows who was the aggressor. No one witnessed who really threw the first punch but there were witnesses saying Trayvon was on top of Zimmerman beating him. So, these are the facts as I understand them.
My questions are, by the facts of the case how is this a case of injustice? How can people say this is a travesty? A tragedy, yes. Are people really looking for justice? Or is it vengeance they want?
Would a white boy have caught Zimmerman's attention? LET'S GET ALL OF THE GUNS OFF THE STREETS!
excel, why don't you write a letter to the Chicago Tribune & tell them to get all of the guns off the street.
I should have made it clear, anyone with a clear, logical explanation that pertains to the facts.
Please, no "what if`s". That is just a waste of time.
Supporting Zimmerman is counterproductive and a total waste of time. LET'S GET ALL OF THE GUNS OFF THE STREETS!
My name was Antonio West. I was the 13-month old child who was shot in the face at point blank range by two black teens, who were attempting to rob my mother, who was also shot.
I think my murder and my mommy's wounding made the news for maybe a day, and then disappeared.
A Grand Jury of my mommy's peers from Brunswick, Georgia ruled the black teens who murdered me will not face the death penalty... too bad it was me who got the death sentence from my killers instead, because Mommy didn't have the money they demanded.
See, my family made the mistake of being white in a 73% non-white neighborhood, but my murder wasn't ruled a 'hate crime'.
Oh, and President Obama didn't take a single moment to acknowledge my murder. He couldn't have any children who could possibly look like me - so why should he care?
I'm one of the youngest murder victims in our great Nation's history, but the media didn't care to cover the story of my being killed in cold blood.
There isn't a white equivalent of Al Sharpton, because if there was he would be branded a 'racist'. So no one's rushing to Brunswick, Georgia to demonstrate and demand 'justice' for me. There's no 'White Panther' party, either, to put a bounty on the lives of the two black teens who murdered me.
I have no voice, I have no representation, and unlike those who shot me in the face while I sat innocently in my stroller - I no longer have my life.
Isn't this a great country?
So while you're out seeking 'justice for Trayvon', please remember to seek 'justice' for me. Tell your friends about me, tell you families, get tee-shirts with my face on them, and make the world pay attention, just like you did for Trayvon.
I won't hold my breath.
I don't have to anymore.
The guy jumped Zimmerman and got handled.If the kid would have been white or hispanic people wouldnt be making a big deal.
The issue here is the fact that Zimmerman went looking for a fight with a gun to back him up. When he was loosing the fight he then shot Trayvon who was guilty of being black and heading home from the store. LET'S GET ALL OF THE GUNS OFF THE STREETS.
I need clarification so I am asking for a clear, logical explanation. Feel free to respond if anyone can.

This is an honest question. I`m just looking for someone to clarify. No "what if`s" or "what someone should have done".
You are simply looking for someone to endorse Zimmerman's actions. What is clear is the fact that if Zimmerman wasn't packing a gun he would not have been bold enough to have picked a fight with Trayvon. LET'S GET ALL OF THE GUNS OFF THE STREETS!
No, what I am looking for is an understanding of the situation. Am I missing any facts? If not, what is the logical thought process when the facts are presented?
Saying, "if Zimmerman did not have a gun," doesn`t explain anything. Nor does it pertain to my original questions.
A court of law does not deal with "what if`s."
I want to understand how when presented with facts how can someone disregard them, form an opinion without any proof, then expect to make a respectable arguement.
The bottom line is Trayvon was trespassing in a guarded community that he had no right being in. It was a locked community to keep people out that had no business being there. Doesn't matter if he was unarmed there was a gun at bthe situation, Zimmerman brought it. If Zimmerman felt that Trayvon might be able to get the weapon away from him and use it against him than sorry Trayvon, you should have thought twice before trespassing. Good lesson for others to learn too. Stay away from property that isn't yours.
How a Miami School Crime Cover-Up Policy Led to Trayvon Martin's Death
By Robert Stacy McCain on 7.15.13 @ 1:05AM
The February 2012 shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martion might never have happened if school officials in Miami-Dade County had not instituted an unofficial policy of treating crimes as school disciplinary infractions. Revelations that emerged from an internal affairs investigation explain why Martin was not arrested when caught at school with stolen jewerly in October 2011 or with marijuana in February 2012. Instead, the teenager was suspended from school, the last time just days before he was shot dead by George Zimmerman.
Trayvon Martin was not from Sanford, the town north of Orlando where he was shot in 2012 and where a jury acquitted Zimmerman of murder charges Saturday. Martin was from Miami Gardens, more than 200 miles away, and had come to Sanford to stay with his father's girlfriend Brandy Green at her home in the townhouse community where Zimmerman was in charge of the neighborhood watch. Trayvon was staying with Green after he had been suspended for the second time in six months from Krop High School in Miami-Dade County, where both his father, Tracy Martin, and mother, Sybrina Fulton, lived.
Word has just come out that Trayvon was taking Mixed Martial Arts classes.
The FBI proved that racisim was not involved.
Zimmerman beat Trayvon like a rented mule, in a court of law, & will do so in the future.
talk about racial profiling. Others targets black men.
All of which is fine. Just don't expect these conversations to be especially illuminating or honest. Liberals in general, and the black left in particular, like the idea of talking about racial problems, but in practice they typically ignore the most relevant aspects of any such discussion.
Any candid debate on race and criminality in this country would have to start with the fact that blacks commit an astoundingly disproportionate number of crimes. African-Americans constitute about 13% of the population, yet between 1976 and 2005 blacks committed more than half of all murders in the U.S. The black arrest rate for most offenses—including robbery, aggravated assault and property crimes—is typically two to three times their representation in the population. The U.S. criminal-justice system, which currently is headed by one black man (Attorney General Eric Holder) who reports to another (President Obama), is a reflection of this reality, not its cause.
"High rates of black violence in the late twentieth century are a matter of historical fact, not bigoted imagination," wrote the late Harvard Law professor William Stuntz in "The Collapse of American Criminal Justice." "The trends reached their peak not in the land of Jim Crow but in the more civilized North, and not in the age of segregation but in the decades that saw the rise of civil rights for African Americans—and of African American control of city governments."
The left wants to blame these outcomes on racial animus and "the system," but blacks have long been part of running that system. Black crime and incarceration rates spiked in the 1970s and '80s in cities such as Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and Philadelphia, under black mayors and black police chiefs. Some of the most violent cities in the U.S. today are run by blacks.
Associated Press
About 500 other demonstrators during a rally and march in support of Trayvon Martin in Birmingham, Ala., on July 15.
The jury's only job in the Zimmerman trial was to determine whether the defendant broke the law when he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin last year in a gated community near Orlando, Fla. In cases of self-defense, it doesn't matter who initiated the confrontation; whether Mr. Zimmerman singled out Martin because he was a black youngster in a neighborhood where there had been a series of burglaries by black youngsters; or whether Mr. Zimmerman disregarded what the police dispatcher told him before he got out of his car. Nor does it matter that Martin was unarmed and minding his own business when Mr. Zimmerman approached.
Repubs were correct. Z was found not guilty. Demo-c-RATS were wrong.
Where is Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson?
They have found 3 African American women killed in Cleveland.
WHY? WHY? Why are they not in Cleveland trying to find their killer and protecting the rights of these 3 women?
George Zimmerman is a registered democrat and voted for Obama.
Just because someone feels the verdict is correct or voted for Romney does not make them a racist. In fact people who label them as such are actually racist.
Racism is an issue that needs addressed in the US, but calling everybody "racist" who sees things thinks differently than you does not help.
By the way I voted for Obama the first election and not the second because after four plus years I am very dissatisfied with his fiscal policy and reckless spending, not because of what color he is.
Obama was heard to say "if I had a city, it would look like Detroit."
Well, I see they deleted all my comments. Too bad, because mine were undoubtedly the best, but, I understand the reason- I let myself get carried away with a personal attack against someone I disagreed with and I shouldn't have done that. I reread his posts more carefully and I realize I went over the top in what I said- and my apologies for that. I sometimes get carried away...
Teaches me a lesson- stick to the issues and avoid personal attacks (unless the person you're attacking is someone like Davey Betras or Anthony Weiner- fair game both!)
Interesting information not heard by the jury in the Zimmerman trial.
Interesting information not heard by the jury in the zimmerman trial.
If this had been a black on black or a white on white crime, we would have never known the names of Zimmerman or Martin. The media loves to inflate crimes and make them all racially motivated.
We were not there and have no idea what transpired, enough already.
Detroit is bankrupt. Water has been turned of in parts of NY & DC. People are being killed by the 1000"s. Unemployment is rampant.The Natl debt is 17B. But Obama says "let's talk about Trayvon."
The usual liberal race hucksters have been saying for at least a year that, if Trayvon Martin had been white, and Zimmerman had been black, then Zimmerman would have been convicted instantly. Heck, the liberals have implied that Zimmerman would have been lynched had he been black!
Well, as usual, the liberals just can never get their facts straight.
So, Meet Roderick Scott.
Mr. Scott is a black man from the small town of Greece N.Y. which is outside of Rochester.
In the early morning hours of April 4th 2009, Mr. Scott thought he saw 3 teenagers breaking into his neighbors' cars.
Mr. Scott grabbed a handgun, for which he had a legal permit, and then went to the end of his driveway and ordered the teenagers to remain where they were and to wait for the police.
At this point 17 year old Christopher Cervini allegedly advanced towards Scott and displayed anger. There is some dispute as to what was said. Scott says Cervini threatened him. Cervini's friends say that he said "Please don't shoot me I'm just a kid". At no time did Cervini and Scott come close enough to engage in physical contact. Unlike Trayvon Martin, Cervini did not sucker Punch Scott. He did not break Scott's nose. Cervini did not get on top of Scott and pound his head into cement.
Scott shot at Cervini with 2 bullets finding their mark. 17 year old Chris Cervini died and Roderick Scott was charged with manslaughter.
7 months later a jury found Roderick Scott not guilty.
It's funny. The race hucksters have nothing to say about this case. When a white teenager is killed Eric Holder doesn't threaten Civil Rights Violations and Investigations.
