“Ferguson wasn't about police brutality, and the President knows it. If he wanted a teachable moment this was his opportunity. He could have talked about how blacks are 13% of the population in America and over 50% of homicide victims; how 91 % of these victims are murdered by other blacks and how, therefore, "communities of color" are dependent on a police presence for survival. He could have talked about how one quarter of the members of the grand jury that chose not to indict Officer Wilson were black. He could even have attacked the racist assumption that blacks will naturally react with mindless violence to decisions like this one; and that they alone of all American minority groups will be exempt from censure when they do. There are many ways a truly "post racial" President could have spoken truth to the power of the mob that exploded in violence in Ferguson. But instead Barack Obama enabled it as his racist advisor on racial affairs, Al Sharpton, swooped into Ferguson to pour gasoline on the flames.” (David Horowitz)

Obama and Holder declarations from the first day of the death of the young Black killed by white cop were directed to incite the racial riots. Upon their conscience, or lack of it, rest the main responsibility for the Ferguson riots.

Ping.

Did anyone think there would not be riots if the Grand Jury did not indict?

May they receive a package of ‘content of character’ in their stockings along with the well deserved lump of coal.

You know what? That first pix should be a Christmas card!

Seriously.

It would be a bit of gallows humor, AND put embarrassment on these thugs.

If it became a trend.

A wonderful sermon, Rev. Charles. Yes, we all have so much to be thankful for.

Like the hymn Just As I Am, I’ll stand before him with just one plea, that His blood was shed for me.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

These are the things that the prophet Habakkuk is seeing as he looks out as his land...

Not familiar with that prophet but have to file that name away for future use. Names with lots of K sounds I favor like Cucamonga, Kokomo, or Cucuta. Now Habakkuk.
