As a Georgian, I would be embarrassed by this moron, but, unfortunately, he, too, is a perfect representative for his district.

I would be very careful with this big can of sh@t. You open it up and a few million patriots come spilling out and they have been in the sh@t before and don't care. We remember the oath we took and remember when our blood was up. We are old but remember what it's like to be SOF.

Why is a rep from GA commenting on a situation in MO. This fool needs to shut his trap and mind his business.

The president cannot declare martial law without a request from the governor, who must declare martial law first.

Being black and a “civil rights icon” the world is his oyster.

He really thinks he’d win in that scenario. All this sycophancy from the media, academia, the RINOs and Hollywood have gone to his head.

I don’t think he has a clue of what martial law is.

I believe that you are on to something...To the Obama dumbocrats, martial law is anything that they want it to be. They believe that this will enable Obama to make the law whatever he wants it to be...

Lewis, in general, “doesn’t have a clue”. Too many beatings during the civil rights marches has turned his brain to mush.

Once a very brave and honorable man. Today, a leftist, racist brain-addled/damaged fool.

Ah, Lewis longing for the days when he was a real civil rights leader before he became a pimp and paid liar for the Democratic plantation.

But the difference is that they were lying.

Lewis hasn’t been ‘right’ since R Limbaugh biatched slapped him in public over and asinine statement he made. In public.

Basically Lewis had said that millions of slaves were thrown over board in transit from Africa to New York or wherever.
Rush did the math and figured that if 2 million had been thrown overboard it would have been over 200 hundred a day or so, and seeing as it was a ‘cash crop’ didn’t seem to make any sense.

Lewis (to prove his gross stupidity) responded to R and said maybe he was wrong on the 2 million, maybe it was only 1 million -and besides, the sharks still patrolled the same waters looking for the carcasses.

Rush said ok....lets say 1 million....that would make it 100 a day and who could afford that????

(Above a rough ‘translation’ to an event that took place a few years ago)

He sez this isn’t a dictatorship, and to prove it, Zero should rule by decree. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

I think Representative Lewis is duly concerned the protests could spread to Guam, and too many people on one side of the island would tip it over.

I know it was Johnson.
But the martial law thing is stupid.
Definite betrayal of where the Lib mindset is...

My understanding is that due to an Executive Order of Czar B.O., if MARTIAL LAW is declared, the EPA and not the MILITARY is the controlling agency!

Someone stuck in mommas basement too long in life has an infatuation with The Hunger Games.

If having a crush on Jennifer Lawrence is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

He did one good thing* in his entire life here in Nashville 50+ years ago and has been riding it ever since, despite being more totalitarian and fascist than the “Good Ole (White) Boys” he sought to overthrow. He’s been a mush-mouthed, addle-brained race baiter for much of his career (who could forget his “Dey comin’ fo...!” speech on the floor of the House, one of the most shameful bits of demagoguery in modern history).

(*perhaps two good things, as he did beat the presumed successor to Wyche Fowler, the uber-arrogant and entitled State Sen. Julian Bond. Bond has almost as high an opinion of himself as Zero... almost).

Once again, civil rights leaders pushing the idea that the rioters are those “other people”. I’m surprised they haven’t blamed the Jews for rioting.
