“Didn’t matter what color Brown was nor will it make any difference for Obama.” I have no idea what you are thinking with this comment. It’s incomprehensible to me so I’ll pass on replying to it.

If we live in a lawless state, perhaps we all should shoulder the blame for not working harder to defeat Obama in 2008 when we knew his ‘hope and change’ was snake oil and especially again in 2012 when we all knew he was trying to ‘transform’ the country. Perhaps what we are going through is God’s punishment for failing to defeat him. We had our chances and blew it. Shame on us.

On the other hand, another two years of Obama may well be the nail in the coffin of far left philosphy. The American people aren’t stupid and are beginning to see what unfettered liberalism will do to their country. The resulting rubble caused by Obama and his leftist ‘transformation’ of the basic American system of government, the economy and the culture (In fact, all the things with which you rightly indict him) will be a harsh lesson learned, dearly to be sure, but necessary for the low information voter to experience. If the child puts his hand in the fire once, he is not likely to repeat the experience.

I have to take issue with your “riots be damned” attitude, although I’m sure a great many folks agree—without thinking about the consequences. I think the ‘riots’ would be closer to a civil insurrection with many lives lost and billions of dollars in property destroyed. Not to mention the long term loss of any comity between the races.

Basically the majority of white Americans have been willing to buy off the blacks in the name of compassion or reparations for past injustices. We’ve bought them off with all sorts of welfare which gives incentives for staying off work rolls and producing virtually ‘fatherless’ children to make it financially profitable to stay away from work and family ties. Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan identified the problem associated with this supposedly righteous, guiltless, and virtuous thinking:

” The steady expansion of welfare programs can be taken as a measure of the steady disintegration of the Negro family structure over the past generation in the United States.”

With millions of young black men, unemployed, underemployed or employed in crime, there is NO sense of being part of an American community. They have no skin in the game. As a result, they are highly susceptible to calls for destruction of the icons of the system. And there is no one in government who will be ready and able to give a “shoot to kill” order to stop the violence.

So I think anyone who wants to lead should stop sloganeering for impossible and improbable outcomes. Let’s pull up our big boy pants and endure the unendurable in the sure knowledge that better times are coming.

Brown’s color did not make any difference to the grand jury and Obama’s color will not make any difference during his trial. The Rule of Law is color blind.

I’m not claiming to be a leader, just posting my humble opinion. And IMHO, the consequences of not dealing with the president and his administration’s blatant lawlessness far outweighs any potential consequence of riots. Our constitution, our Republic, our freedom and our very way of life is at stake. The constitution demands he be impeached!! If the congress shirks its duty to defend the Constitution and the rule of law, then the Constitution becomes meaningless. Obama’s administration becomes unrestricted. And that leaves some mighty big consequences Refer to the Declaration.
