Did Obama’s divisive racial Rhetoric over Travon Martin motivate the Aaron Alexis shooting?
SOL | 9/17/2013 | SOL of course

It’s an obvious question. After George Zimmerman was acquitted Obama got on TV and gave a very racially divisive speech condemning the law, the legal system and America’s treatment of blacks.

He made it clear he believes that blacks are treated almost as bad as they were in the 1950s, in spite of his four years in charge making progress. And Dividing America into opposition groups against one another is how Obama won two elections.

And now this Navy Yard mass shooting

After all as liberals endlessly lecture us : ‘words mean things’ and 'they have consequences'.

After all they tell us that these acts of violence are always caused by others irresponsible words not the perpetrator.

And as Obama said, if he had a son he would have looked just like Gunman Aaron Alexis, or was it Travon Martin , same idea.

It seems like Obama needs to tone down his racially divisive rhetoric, to save lives. Military lives. Stop the hate Obama.

He didn’t use an AR-15 at all, actually. No AR-15 was involved in the crime.

The only AR-15 involved at all was the one that stopped him, fired by law enforcement.

Overtaken by events. I posted that earlier on, before the FBI report came out.

Thank you, though. Always good to reinforce the facts when we get them in.

Geez, what is the ratio of civilian contractors to military on our military bases these days, and why?

Less than it was a couple of years ago. Then it was maybe one in three, at least where I worked on Ft. Hood. Then the Obama cuts began.

Why? Couple of reasons. One that's where much of the technical expertise is. Many of those are former military, like this guy. Two, they don't have authority from Congress to hire enough civil servants to do their missions. They also have ceilings on the number of military personnel, also set by Congress. OH, and contractors are cheaper, IF one includes pension costs, which are "up front" for contractors, but not even funded for military and civil servants (until the people start collecting those benefits), as well as certain other costs for military personnel, which are funded from different accounts
