those two thugs were the best thing that recently happened to the Republican party! As soon as the blacks started rioting... I KNEW we were going to win a historic landslide in congress last year :)

The left NEVER learns this lesson!

Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown were nothing like Martin Luther King. King was a Republican, and trayvon and michael were just nothing more than bullies and criminals.

The two thugs are dead and gone. Its over, time to move on. Those who keep kindling the flame of the Martin and Brown stories must not have much to keep them busy if they have to resort to “old news”. Why not write something that we don’t already know about? Such a story might be of interest to those of us who pay attention to daily events.

At the federal level not much honestly, since it's washington is still controlled by the RINO’s. BUT, down at the state and local level a whole new generation of conservative politicians is being nurtured that will change the party and the country in the coming years.

Meanwhile the Democrats have had their entire bench wiped and are left with just the over the hill hated wife of an ex-president. Think about it, Hillary is all they have. After she loses there is NO ONE waiting in the wings. An entire generation of future Democrats have been wiped out the last 8 6 years.

I believe this story is significant because the law enforcement official speaking this truth is black.

MLK fought for what was just and right AGAINST democrats running the Jim Crow south... Trayvon and Michael were common criminal lowlifes...
