Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon on Tuesday named 16 people to the new Ferguson Commission, an independent panel tasked with helping the St. Louis County suburb of Ferguson heal after the fatal police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown. […]

… The Democratic governor selected a racially diverse group: nine of its members are black; seven are white. Its ranks include the owner of Ferguson construction supply company, two pastors, a university professor, two attorneys, a 20-year-old community activist and a St. Louis police detective who is also president of the state chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police. …

Here will be some definite “conclusions” by these “experts”:

The FPD will need to be “more ‘diverse’”

The “lack of diversity” is the major reason why “the community” disrespects FPD

FPD needs more “outreach” programs to “better understand the ‘needs’ of ‘the community’

Looting will be blamed totally on “outside agitators” After all, who’s idiotic enough to burn their own neighborhoods?

NOTHING will be mentioned about “the community’s” need to cut the crime, the dope or pull their pants up

Nor will the words “work ethic” be mentioned

Numerous $$$ programs will be offered up, ala “midnight basketball” along with assorted paid commmissions, councils, etc which will reflect the racial “diversity” but not the “diversity of ideas”

It will be all one sided, with FPD the Ultimate Culprit. The “community” will share no responsibility.

And nothing else will change, it’s sayonara for what little is left of Ferguson, Mo. Hello, East St. Louis

How can he help them heal when Sharpton is inciting hate and riots? He should ban Sharpton from the state and ban Obama from flying in and inciting riots

The zero admin is one long-ass action-tree that doesn’t take into effect feedback to its actions. This Ferguson fire was planned probably 10 years ago, and they weren’t planning on Brown’s buddy admitting that he charged the officer.

Marxism has five year plans, just like the Soviets did, and they aren’t too keen on keeping on message. Hence the mid-terms.

Politicians rarely had to live in racially-charged neighborhoods, so they don’t understand how seriously America takes this gas-lighting. But they’re about to find out. If widespread (60 city) rioting happens, RATS won’t hold any branch for another 25 years.

"commission"

Another elected "leader" hiding in fear behind another "commission." So when the SHTF (stuff/stink hits the fan) and the violence to persons and property erupts, the metropolitan cities will soon be "out of commission!"

Anybody can create a "commission!" Some liberal activists in Sacramento in the '90's formed a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation and named it the "Local Government Commission" with absolutely no authority whatsoever over any local government.

It's "mission statement" was "putting local jurisdictions back on their feet." (meaning getting them packed like sardines in downtown core areas where they could walk to everything they need)

I other words, people being well controlled in compact, easily controlled microcosms of society like the danged BEEs!!!

As a Former Democrat you know very well where they’re coming from... I agree with you Ferguson is well on it’s way to become another “failed city”, aka, a basket case.

You used quite a few terms that are already on my “list”. Here it is, you probably can add a few more.

Words that have been hijacked by the left:

- “access” - you pay for something I want (birth control, abortions, housing, health care....)
- “justice” (social, environmental, economic, gender, reproductive, etc) - a form of shakedown
- “affordable” (housing or anything else) - subsidized
- “revenue enhancer” - tax increase
- “investment” - a new goverment program, a tax increase
- “sustainability” - politburo type of planning
- “cautionary principle” - don’t get out of bed or a committee will tell you if you can get out of bed
- “government expense” - a tax cut
- “right” - something that I want that you should pay for
- “bipartisanship” - repubs sign up for the dems agenda
- “community” - pressure group
- “diversity” - backdoor quota
- “smart growth” - bureaucratic planning
- “inclusive” - a way to force their agenda on you
- “moral hazard” - putting up with something you know up front is irresponsible, tolerating on instituting something you know up front that it ain’t going to end well.
- “give back” to the community - extortion, shakedown
- “hate speech” - saying something they disagree with
- “offended” - my “rights” supersede yours
- “racist” - you disagree with someone’s values
- “tolerance” - forced acceptance, exaltation, reverence, privilege, affirmation, celebration of something you abhor
- “affirmative action” - quotas, reverse discrimination
- “fairness” - equality of results
- “divisive” - repubs disagree with the left on social policies
- “Marriage” - any two or more entities that decide they want the state to call them “married” for kicks or whatever other purpose. (Of course redefining “marriage”, redefines all human relations, ie, husband, wife, aunt, uncle, sister, brother, etc, etc.)
- “Family” - any conglomeration of people, animals, things that associate with each other at some level
- “Food Insecurity” - more food stamps
- “White privilege” - the privilege of enjoying the fruits of your labor
- “Common-sense” gun control - gun control
- “Conversation” - hectoring you in a “framed” setting to soften you up for the coup de grace
- “move on immigration” - accept amnesty
- “women’s health clinics” - “abortion mills”, specifically planned parenthood
- “Heal” = racial pandering

This is what happens when people are given participation trophies and told they are unique little snowflakes. They grow up to be gutless cowards more interested in the ‘FEELings’ of people than facts.

There is nothing to ‘heal’ because nothing was broken. A POS attacked a cop and Darwin took it’s course. Cop acted legally and with full justification. Period. End of. Hopefully, if the SHTF ever happens, people ‘expressing’ the need to ‘heal’ will be run out of their respective locations and told to ‘heal’ on their own while attempting to survive in whatever blasted wasteland remains. Because with the ferals now ruling the roost down there, I’d wager that survival and not ‘healing’ is the most considered desire right now in the minds of sane people.

“Choice” = pro abortion

“Comprehensive” immigration “reform” = amnesty

“bigotry” = anything the slightest bit negative about any “protected (PC) class”, no matter how observant/true

“Imposing one’s will on another” = only when liberal’s “rights” are at stake. It never works the other way around.

“Separation of church and ‘state” DNA to Islam, and to a lesser extent, Buddhism, Hinduism

I would not say “Darwin”. I would instead refer to Romans 13:3-4.

Well, I guess it's got to be our "betters," of course, right? (smirk)
