The left can see a clear connection between an obscure map with crosshairs on it by Sarah Palin and the shooting of Gabby Giffords but see no connection between the demonization of police and calls for violence by Obama, Holder, and the left and the killing of 2 cops.

The fact is you probably can find somewhere a DNC memo that says to push this issue, along with the “war on women,” raising the minimum wages, etc.

There’s no question but this was a coordinated campaign by Obama and the Democrats. And they should be held accountable.

I didn’t want to post a thread due to the f-bombs.

Let those who have laid a guilt trip on people in our times, for evils done by other people in past centuries, at least face their own responsibility for the evil consequences of their own notions and policies. If they won’t do it, then the rest of us need to stop listening gullibly to what they are saying.

Bears repeating.

Progressives never seem to have consequences for their actions. They’ve jumped the shark with this.

My favorite conservative author!

“The race card is nothing to play with. It can ruin us all.”


But play in poop, liberals will always do.

“The number of dead [620,000 to 750,000 Civil War dead]is roughly equal to the number of slaves imported to North America during all the years it was practiced”

It is an astonishing number. The pain and loss felt by the survivors of the war obviously resonated for generations afterward.

But does the BGI acknowledge the debt they have to the country that tore itself apart to abolish slavery?
