When will the recipients of all the give always learn those give aways are a method of keeping them in political slavery. They are being given a pittance to vote. Do they not know they can have anything anybody else has if they will go after it and vote for freedom. So many think the other race, what ever it is, caused all the trouble. They bring it upon themselves by listening to lies. Someone asked on here the other day where was the Tea Party when George Bush and Chaney etc., were here? Little do people who are practioniers of the lie know the Tea Partiers have been here through several presidents, watching, being benelovant until it became to corrupt to be silenced anymore. The tea party is made up of all races, all religions and is for the right, just and moral treatment of all of the people. Those who say different have a bogus view.

Amen. I agree with you and the idea that if you are poor, rich, black, yellow, red or white you are not exempt from wrong. You are not entitled to anything. You came into this world, we all did, without anything and should be equel. So some of us have it worse than others, some have it better so most of that is about what the individual is in his own heart when he is an adult. God bless you for your comment. It is time the people in this country grew up!

Sadly...Justi
Racism is being used as a tool....if you have a segment of the voting population that 90+% of the time supports your candidates...you need a tool to motivate them to get out the vote....
This year is a prime example....the progressives are about to get clobbered in the Congressional races....their only alternative is to motivate their bases....here's where the cries of racism comes to play....playing on hatred is a piss poor way to get people to vote for your candidates...but it is (up until this year) a very effective tool.
As an aside......I find it humorous that here on Blogit we're being lectured on "Proper Blogging Methods"...what a hoot......

Life has gotten cheap because of a lack of moral basis and our tendency to rationalize all we do. . When one believes in G-d and follows His teachings one knows how sacred life is and that only He who created is can take it away . Now a days children grow up without the benefit of faith and accosted by images of violence. Sad as that is, it is also dangerous, because then "good" becomes what is good for them and evil has no meaning since whatever they do that benefits them is in their book OK.The tendency to excuse crimes by blaming society or upbringing is wrong as it is also misguided to blame it on mental disease... I believe we all s hould be held responsible for our actions regardless of how we got to the moment in which we commuted them. If we hate and kill someone the important thing is we killed someone not that we hated... society can not legislate emotions. If we are "crazy" when we commit a crime... then we should pay for the crime just as if we had been sane because commuting that crime is what should count. Treatment or therapy or whatever can be given in prison just as well as in a hospital. If that person stole... he stole... whether he was black or white has no bearing and the color of his skin and how he perceived he was treated because of it does not excuse him in any way. . I blame our courts for being too soft on crime and for letting themselves be influenced by t hose who want to explain crime rather than punish it. Be well Justi :-) xoxoxo

Re: Re: Nite Tide
Completely and utterly agree with you on that! I'm not black, but I am Asian, and I've had a time or two when someone told me I don't belong here or to go back to where I came from, but that never led me to believe I should kill the ones who said that to me. No one deserves to die under circumstances like that.

Re: Nite Tide
Thank you for reading. You are right there is certainly more to the story, always is; however, nothing could justify killing seven people because they were not kind to him. Total loss.

I completely understand what you mean. I actually read up and watched the news report on what your mentioned, and I couldn't understand how it came down to racism when it was clearly shown on video of him taking things that did not belong to him. Obviously, the shooting was a personal vendetta and nothing to do with the job itself....but who knows. Maybe there are other pieces of the story we don't know about!
