America used to value the concept of retreat. Yeah. Like at The Alamo, Bastogne and Chosin Reservoir. Sigh.

George Zimmerman had done all of the “retreating” possible, when he was on his back with Trayvon on top of him, bashing his head into the sidewalk.

I don’t know whether it’s a measure of our societal balkanization, or the supercilious hubris of the mainstream-ish media, that someone could write something so manifestly asinine and then have it published.

The older I get, the more I become convinced counter-factual abuse of the first amendment, such as Dahlia has perpetrated, should be legally actionable.

America used to value the concept of retreat. Now we just shoot. It's extremely difficult to retreat when you are pinned to the ground by one of Holder's People whacked out on Purple Drank and determined to beat you to death.
