The Presence of the Attorney General in Ferguson Invites Racism
Canada Free Press ^ | 08/27/14 | Jerry McConnell

Let's keep this case color blind and without favoritism

In an August 20, 2014 FoxNews.com article titled, “Holder Says He Understands Mistrust Of Police As Ferguson Protests Dwindle” and on that same date, “during his meeting at the FBI building in St. Louis, Holder told Ferguson community leaders that he has assigned the federal government’s ‘most experienced agents and prosecutors’ to the investigation of a white police officer’s fatal shooting of a black 18-year-old.”

This is a very practicable decision for the AG consistent with his Constitutionally assigned duties of protecting our country. But his actions belied his comments when he made the following statements.

“Attorney General Eric Holder said Wednesday that he understands why many black Americans distrust the police as he made a one-day swing through the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Mo., where a black teenager was fatally shot by a white police officer almost two weeks earlier.

Not to mention inviting big government socialism and interference outside constitutional boundaries.

Constitutional boundaries has no meaning in present day America.

Sadly, I see no return to a Constitution driven government in the USA without some form of revolution...whether it be bloody or nonbloody...Our government had devolved into more of an elitist mini society that works to keep separated from the masses and rules rather than governs...

Without extreme changes, such as term limits for Congress, cancellation of many welfare benefits, emphasis placed on working, family, responsibility, and cohesiveness, this country will continue to decline just as the Roman Empire did.

Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” is a prime example of the direction of the United States with the exception of the lack of direct racism that was not visible in her work.

We are in trouble without significant changes and I believe these changes will not be seen without some form of revolution.

I get so tired of the phonies in suit stirring up tousle with their phony actions of caring.

White on black actions is a big deal for these suits.

Black on white actions not so much as a peep.

Black on black actions is totally ignored.

The first step is slashing the $4,000,000,000,000 federal government beast by at least 80%. Elect people who have that as their FIRST PRIORITY and HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE since nothing else comes close to the greatest threat to our constitutional republic and free way of life.

The American People still have the power of the ballot box and the vote. The greatest problem we have is too many Americans have lost faith and given up with the power to take back their country still in their hands. NEVER give up the fight for freedom.

I hear what you are saying, but after the reports from Ohio and Philadephia after the 2012 election, I’m not real sure of the public’s “power of the ballot box”...

So do his words. Holder is evil and a piece of trash. He should be in jail.

Don't NEVER give up, my FRiend (like that double negative?). "Fight the good fight of faith."

Let's be like Paul the Apostle at the end of our lives: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day" (2 Tim 4:7-8).

Well, thanks...I am a Vietnam vet (among other things). I have a “never give in” spirit and along with that, I believe there WILL be an end to this madness we have faced the last few years...I just believe it will be an extreme situation that ends the madness....

No, the presence of the attorney general in Furguson IS racism.
