The Daily Caller ^ | August 18, 2014 | Neil Munro

President Barack Obama’s passive response to the riots and arson in Ferguson may prompt a November rebuke by the silent majority of American voters, says Patrick Buchanan, who was an adviser to President Richard Nixon during the late 1960s race riots.

The looters are so dumb, they destroy food supplies in their own areas. That will not turn out well.

Payback is going to be a bitch. Some percentage of the looted businesses will collect their insurance money are go elsewhere. I do not know enough to even guess at the number. Those that choose to rebuild will be closed for a min. of weeks, possibly a year or more depending on the amount of damage.

Obama discounts (despises?) rural and suburban America, this display in Ferguson will not improve his standing in those areas, and may pull down other Dems with him.

Pat might be right, but conservatives usually come up short in MO.

For the locals, this is about FREE STUFF!!!

For Race-baiters and poverty pimps, it’s about MONEY.

For the “Community Activists”, it’s about getting an angryu black Plantation electorate to the polls in November to vote against Repubs.

Wasn’t GHWB sympathetic to Rodney King, as Rick Santorum was to Trayvon Martin? And now Rand Paul to Michael Brown? they never seem to learn.

We are a lot less moral of a population now than in 1968 and 1980. Whether American can be saved certainly remains to be seen.

This is beyond MO, in the rest of the country there will be a strong rebuke.

According to sub host Tom Marr, who is subbing for Mark Levin, in time things will begin to get stable again for families once again and morals will make a comeback.

God, not mere “morality,” is what needs recognition.

Worship (in the sense of life dedication) will be needed.

I tend to agree that these riots will not be helpful for liberal causes. Tough to put this alligator back in the box.

The Community Agitator is quite pleased I'm sure with the events in Ferguson, Mo.
