What has happened to Townhall. They’ve become nothing more than a more moderate Politico.
Well said.
Excellent point
Once an author brings up Michael Brown sympathetically, I stop reading.
Brown was a thug who got exactly what he deserved. I have ZERO sympathy for him or anyone who mourns his death. I congratulate officer Wilson for ridding this world of a criminal savage.
Anyone who believes differently is incapable of logical, moral thinking. Basically, they can’t tell right from wrong. That includes John C. Goodman of townhall.com.
Just as comparing anyone to Hitler is an automatic loss of argument, using the Michael Brown shooting as an example of police brutality is also a losing argument.
Once again...gibsmedat!
Wait a minute. What do you blame Townhall.com for? The site didn’t write the column
Really?
I saw an obvious three points:
1- Throw money at the poor, downtrodden black man.
2- Throw more money at the poor, downtrodden black man.
3- Throw a boatload of money at the poor, downtrodden, black man.
Can no one see that the more freebies they get, the more they demand?
What in the hell more can we do?
We've gone the welfare queen route, been down the "affirmative action" road, created an entire ghetto economy that revolves around the USDA Food Stamp program, given them housing that they promptly squat in the middle of and take a crap, subsidized businesses to open in these depressed areas, which are promptly driven to bankruptcy by the plethora of shoplifting and thievery, provided free medical care, the resources of which are sucked up by the gunshot and knifing subjects, attempting to kill one another or if not the violence, the treatment of drug overdose and addiction, to the absolute point that there is no money left to provide a child an immunization shot...on and on and on...WHERE and WHEN does it end?!
There is A LOT of crime toward peaceful civilians that is not being reported. I just spoke to someone ‘in the know’ about goings on in my community that made the hair on my neck stand on end. Violence is on the increase.
There needs to be a return to GOD before it is too late. Churches cannot turn a blind eye to this.
Pull everyone of consequence, and then nuke it from space. It is the only way to be sure.
Where does the low character come from? Is it race?
I do believe it is environment. Raised with no father figure and no real hope of success.
I’m not saying they are not responsible for their state. I’m saying we could do something. But to be clear, I’m not talking about the government, other than them actually enforcing the law. Our strength is not in our government. Our strength is in our individual character - collectively. And when everyone spends all their free time in selfish pursuits, well, it will not last. People get the greatest joy from helping others. It is a two sided coin that seems to remain in our pockets.
You seem to be the only one who gets it.
If you don't want to live in a police state, you have to police yourself. It's silly to complain about a large police presence in your community, and all the unpleasantness that brings, after your citizens have chosen, in large numbers, to ignore the law.
Too many black people seem to have the idea that the law means whatever they can get away with.
To me, ‘Ferguson’ is not simply the Gentle Giant and so-called police brutality.
For the rest of the country, ‘Ferguson’ means the days of riot, and lawlessness.
Should conservatives care about Ferguson? Absolutely, just like Baltimore, you don’t give rioters ‘space’. They want anarchy, they meet with Chicago DNC 1968 riot response.
Not necessarily. Some people might just have it in their genes, regardless of race, to be more violent, hot tempered, and even less intelligent and/or less imaginative than others, in terms of problem-solving one's way through difficult situations.
I lived near Fergison when the whole shooting thing happened. It was an ugly time to be living in St. Louis, that’s for sure.
I think that the frustration that the ‘black community’ (as much as I hate that term, because it’s segregationist at the very least) feels is somewhat justified, just that it’s aimed at the wrong parties. They ARE being kept down, but it’s not by racist white cops. From what I’ve seen, the entire community is having its legs cut out from under it by the same programs that supposedly help them, and the same politicians pandering for their votes and keeping them, yes, enslaved.
The black women I’ve talked to are alternately wanting a man to take care of them and their children, but at the same time afraid of the men in their community.
The black men I’ve talked to—at least some of them; I haven’t talked to the thugs—are aware that there’s some kind of injustice going on because they can see how different black neighborhoods are from others, but many of them either blame Republicans or don’t know what to do about it.
And no one wants to even consider the thought that they’ve been lied to their entire life and worse, been fooled by people who you thought were your friends.
That trend has ended, and Christian virtue has been, in many ways, rejected by our culture. How do we put that toothpaste back in the tube? We don't.
Yes, maybe the writer should have looked up “eminent” and “imminent” before going live.
And “low character,” if you’re a Christian, is understood to be Man’s default state.
I'm only mildly interested because it conclusively proves a point: The whole mess was caused by LBJ and the RATs.
If anyone should care about Ferguson, it's the socialist-filth that destroyed the black nuclear family in the first place.
They made their bed, let them lie in it.
