Al Sharpton's Ramlin' on Again....

Speaking on CNN on 11/25/14, Al Sharpton claims that Ferguson
Prosecutor Bob McCulloch did not properly cross-exam Darren Wilson on
the stand. However, how does he know when a grand jury investigation
is a closed procedure? He also claims that McCulloch put people on the
stand who did not see anything. That is not what  McCulloch said in
his statement on 11/14/14. The prosecutor at one time, mentioned that
some bystanders who had claimed to see what happened turned out to not
have seen anything at all. In many cases, they were not even present
the night of the shooting. These "potential" witnesses had to be ruled
out as any use to the case. It was never stated that they were put in
front of the grand jury. McCulloch  did mention that witnesses whose
stories were corroborated by the physical evidence were put on the
stand. In other words, only those credible witnesses who were most
likely telling the truth were questioned in front of the grand jury,
according to Bob McCulloch. 
Listening to the prosecutors carefully
laid-out investigation the other night and his painstakingly
,methodical explanations, it is clear that this situation was not
taken lightly by his office. There was obvious evidence that Officer
Wilson was not the aggressor in the situation. After all, what would
he have to gain by suddenly pulling over on the street, picking a
fight with some black kid and shooting him dead? Michael Brown was not
shot in the back as some people in the media had claimed. There is
evidence of his DNA and blood inside of the police car, which agrees
with the officer's assertions that Brown was reaching in the car
assaulting the police officer.

Some people do not want to accept the
truth, no matter how clear it is. They just don't care about the actual facts. Emotions rule instead.  It is irresponsible for the media, public figures and false witnesses to continuously make reports about particular incidents that never happened just to build a case in order to receive satisfaction and reparations for past offenses, not committed by the accused.  
There is also no excuse for the damage being done to businesses and personal property belonging to people who had nothing to do with the case at all. However, there does seem to be a current trend of hatred and resentment toward people who make an effort to be  educated, successful and who take responsibility for their own lives. Their lives are better, so it is okay to destroy what they own. 

Ready to ignore the people

On March 28, 2011 Obama said, "With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportation through executive orders, that's just not the case....There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system that for me to simply through executive order ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as president."


My oh my, how we have done a 180 Mr. President.

Shut Down the Duggars?

Love them or hate them, you have to admit the Duggars are far from being evil, harmful people. Some people enjoy watching every episode and some will not watch at all. That is a matter of personal choice, which we thankfully have in the United States.

We also have the right to take up petitions as part of the due process of the government. However, the government does not run the media ( thankfully), which is a free enterprise. But, a petition has been started asking for reality show, "19 Kids and Counting" to be shut down.

Apparently, the Duggars have expressed their own ( first amendment right) opinion on marriage and that has angered some people ( most of whom do not even watch the show or care for them to begin with).
It seems that some groups in out country cannot stand it when others express an idea that does not flow with their own ideas and opinions.  Wouldn't you call that being a little thin-skinned?  We are Americans and should be tougher than that and able to handle opposing viewpoints without falling to pieces.
The Duggars do no harm to anyone. Don't like them, don't watch their show.
The gays do no harm to anyone. Don't like gay marriage, than don't attend a gay wedding.

Criticize the Duggars if you want, but don't shut their right to speak. Criticize gays if you want, but don't shut down their right to speak.  ( and get over being criticized, it happens to everyone!)

 It is that simple. Everyone doing their own thing and saying what they want to say is part of the American way. Deal with it. Live with it.
