Please, don’t hold back. If you keep things pent up, you’re going to have a stroke. Let it out... oh, wait. :)
Ditto everything you said!
Barry! YOU still do not have the facts in this case. NO ONE pulled Mr. Gates out of his home. No one!
Mr. Gates followed the Police Officer, as he was leaving, and nearing the sidewalk Mr. Gates continued to make a scene in front of the now gathered crowd.
He was asked to calm down and after given ample opportunity while being told he would be arrested continued his adolescent tirade.
Consequently and subsequently he was arrested.
Then you continue to make up stuff like saying “this is akin to the racial animus and action of the past” sic, or “I don't know what the big deal is with I said about the situation involving Mr. Gates”
You don't know what the big deal is? Are you crazy! You sit in the White House and come on TV, with absolutely no grasp of the facts, anymore than the rest of us and proclaim YOUR FRIEND was treated unfairly and the COPS ACTED STUPIDLY!
You, Sir, are out of your gord!
Then you come on the news, again, to tell us that you, the great arbiter of justice, have divined that maybe both parties “may have overreacted”?
Seriously, you are now the pronouncer of Moral Equivocation and a clear actor of relativism.
So now you are the great ceasar who has pardon both sides through equivocation and all is well? This is a teachable moment? FU!
WE, out here in America, do not need to be learned.
WE, help the police when they come asking for I.D. and we don't hand them an I.D. from a University or day pass from the amusement park.
You stepped in because you feel race is a troubling aspect in our society.?
Aren't saying that you think race was involved in this? And that the Irish guy, with blues eyes, was wrong?
Isn't that implicit in your statement?
So now, because you who sit in the White House have declared this a racial issue the rest of us are to walk around on egg shells hoping you won't bring the Federal Government down on us, for fear anything we say or do, around or to a person of color, for whatever reason will be interpreted by you to have a racial element.
You sir are the racist. We are so far past that BS as a nation but here you are acting as proxy for the other race hustlers.
Thank you very much.
Why don't you keep you mouth shut on matters that are local.
Is it possible that Mr. Gates is not the person that you knew, like so many other “friends” in your past?
Feel free to dissociate yourself from him and throw him under the bus as well.
Keep your focus on National Matters and International matters.
You are increasingly becoming known as L’enfant terrible.
And recognize because of our past(America's) African Americans “are sensitive’ to these issues.
Listen Bozo Obama, I am Irish and German. Before you send your people off to the cross you evidently want them to climb up on, you should consider my ancestor's history.
The Irish, coming to America were spat upon.
The Irish, coming to America were beaten.
The Irish, coming to American made to feel as if they lived in a Caste society.
The Irish, were told they were “filthy creatures”
The Irish, were conscripted into a war that ultimately resulted in the abolition of slavery. That abomination was something the immigrant Irish participated in.
The Irish, became indentured servants.
The Irish, worked to build the railroad system and were paid for it many time by being robbed and beaten.
The Irish, overcame the prejudices of their day, made something of themselves and integrated into society.
When was the last time you heard us complain about a past that we ourselves never experienced?
When you and “your people”, the ones who voted for you get over yourselves, put your shoulder to the wheel and make something of yourselves, without trying to put the rest of us on a guilt trip for something we NEVERT participated in?
The moral of the story: Black and Irish of today have nothing to do with the past. Neither of us participate in those behaviors nor are we victims of our grandfathers past.
Bottom line: Come down off the cross - This country needs more people who want to hammer nails - Besides we could use the wood to make a fire and cook some food.
DEMAGOG . . 1.A leader who obtains power by means of impassioned appeals to the emotions and prejudices of the populace.
I just watched another diktat by the Muslim Harvard Marxist Demagog from Chicago.
And I fervently wish that Sgt. Crowley is not coerced into 'having a beer at the White House' until, perhaps, a GENUINE apology is offered by this POTUS that mentions Sgt Crowley by name.
I hope he saw the press conference by the supporters of the officer and has been "taught" that the "consequence" of not "listening" to both sides (AKA, getting the facts) does not improve relationships between minorities and police officers and does not promote unity.
Gates makes his money by overreacting on race.
