As the National Media, and Our President Remain Silent...

Liberty -vs- Tyranny


Mathew Owens, brutally beaten lies in a Alabama hospital in ICU fighting for his life. He was beaten by a gang of approximately twenty with pipes, paint cans and chairs. The gang left him on his front porch presumably to die.

Tonight, as I read the sketchy reports of this brutal beating by a gang of approximately twenty I can't help but wonder just where the national mainstream media is hiding. I can't help but ask when Our President, who not too long ago weighed in heavily on a circumstance that resulted in the loss of life, might have some remarks on this incident. Along with words of kindness and support for Mathew Owens family. Perhaps Our President, like NBC, ABC, and others are too busy to be concerned.

It has been reported by a witness that as the gang walked away someone said "Now that’s justice for Trayvon.”

The Daily Caller - Hey, that’s what he gets for having a similar skin color to someone we’ve all been instructed to hate.

Well done, Spike Lee. Nice job, NBC. Keep up the good work, ABC. And to everyone else who’s been using a shooting in Florida to foment hate and divide people by the color of their skin, kudos. Don’t let this attack, and similar attacks across America, bother you. If you had a conscience, we never would’ve heard of you in the first place.

As Thomas Sowell points out, Winston Churchill once said, "If the past sits in judgment on the present, the future will be lost." He wasn't talking about racial issues, but what he said applies especially where race is involved.

I am waiting patiently as well to see exactly how left blogistan reacts to this one. Anybody want to bet?

    This poor slob will probably get about as much sympathy from the bleeding-hearts as Reginald Denny got 20 years ago after the King riots. Bubkas, in other words.

    I fail to understand why every violent crime has to addressed by the President of the United States. He has better things to do. It's the medias job to sensationalize violent crimes.

      I agree Anon. However, if the POTUS felt it appropriate to do so for one should he not do so for all? There is something to be said for consistency.

      The President has put himself in this spot in my mind (and I suspect many others). Now he gets to ride it out. Not that he cares most likely.

    RN, the president didn't feel it was "appropriate" to comment on the Trayvon Martin case.

    Mr. Obama WAS SPECIFICALLY ASKED A QUESTION BY A REPORTER during a question and answer period after having given a talk with a visiting head of state!

    All of you who dislike the president conveniently ignore that point.

    Mr. Obama did NOT DELIBERATELY insert himself into the Trayvon Martin discussion, THE MEDIA did! And the reason the Trayvon Martin case is so sensational was because a young, unarmed kid was shot and killed and the perpetrator walked away from the killing with no inquiry to determine if he was justified in shooting the kid.



    Anonymous is correct. It is not any president's job to comment on each and every incident of violence whether it's black on black, white on white, black on white, white on black.

    RN, you appear, from this post, to be accusing Obama of deliberate racism because he didn't make a nationwide comment on this horrible case.

    Do you or anyone truly believe a president has to comment on all violent crime even if a reporter doesn't bring it up? That's all he'd be talking about at his pressers!

    This is just another whine by people on the right to try to prove Mr. Obama is an insensitive racist who cares only for crimes committed against African Americans.

    Can we let up on this nonsense? Because it'S a colossal waste of time.

      Shaw, pitifully weak argument.

      Where did I say I dislike the President? Must you liberal make EVERYTHING personal?

      I believe the President should be consistent where and when appropriate. CONSISTENT.

      Whining? LMFAO!! Mirrors Shaw are a useful toll, when used.

( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads.

More From The Lincoln Project On Our Liar In Chief...

Image
New from The Lincoln Project - June 9, 2020- Contrary to all evidence, since his inauguration, President Donald J. Trump has been lying about the size of the crowds that he says have come out to cheer him on. Finally, this week, in cities across America, from coast to coast, and small towns in between, crowds even larger than he ever imagined possible have gathered — not to cheer Trump on — but in solidarity with one message: It’s time for him to go. Donald Trump, the American people are speaking directly to you with a simple message: It’s time to start packing your bags Indeed Donald J. Trump has told thousands of documented lies since assuming office. He is, a pathological liar as well as a sociopath. His lack of leadership, corruption, divisiveness, and non existent emotional intelligence is appalling as well as dangerous. Trump, in 3 1/2 years has shown America in real time what a corrupt, inept, and egregiously incompetent man looks like. The crowds now filling the stree

From the Tea-Publican Right...

Image
Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Seen today on a rightwing tea-publican weblog. When "their side" has nothing of substance to offer, and they known it, posters such as the one below become popular. Such posters are considered intellectual by the teabag folks on the right. To be balanced such posters do find their way onto left-wing weblogs. The difference? Posters on left-wing sights generally carry a valid message and the commentary factually supports the message of the post. Some random commentary from the tea-publican weblog follows. They adequately explain the reason for the poster at the top of the main page. The Debonair Dudes World October 26, 2015 at 6:46 AM I think that most Americans, be them Democrats, liberals, conservatives and or independents alike have had more than enough of President Obama’s No Strategy, No Plan, No Idea of what he is doing nor what he should be doing... .

Is Our Democratic Republic At Risk From Forces Both Foreign and Within?...

We are moving this running post up to front page this evening where it will remain until January 3'rd 2017 when we will return to single posts, hopefully on a daily basis. There is much to do in getting the TRUTH out about Donald J Trump, a dishonest, totally self absorbed, and dangerous individual. He may be the president on January 20th but that does not mean thoughtful and concerned people shouldn't challenge Trump at every turn and fight his agenda whenever it runs contrary to their interests and those of their family. More to come. BTW, be sure to read today's entry, 12/28/16, below. this is just one example AND, it is just the beginning. You've probably noticed the brief posts of late.

April Job Numbers Appear Improved... Are They Really?

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Lib erty -vs- Tyra nny The April job reports are out. The good news is unemployment fell to a four year low, certainly at year six in Obama's Presidential tenure strikes a positive note. Or does it? At the same time the number of people employed part time rose as well as strong indications are showing the Affordable Care Act (ACA aka ObamaCare) will have a long term negative impact on the USA economy. The following is an interesting analysis and one that certainly has some credibility. AEI - US job growth in April beat economist expectations as nonfarm payrolls rose 165,000, and the jobless rate fell to a four-year low of 7.5%. But the report contained worrisome signs that President Obama’s health care reform law is hurting full-time, high-wage employment. While the American economy added 293,000 jobs last month, according to the separate household survey, the number of persons employed part time for economic reasons — “involuntar

The Ignorance and Arrogance of Obama...

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny In my opinion the President, in his attack on the United States Supreme court belies both his basic ignorance of our republic as well as his arrogance. His last uttering in and of itself is enough to deny the man, and I use the term loosely in this case, another term as President. Forgive me my rational liberal friends but his recent statement is more telling of his statist leanings than anything he has heretofore said. With this last he has proven beyond any doubt he is indeed clueless. The Washington Post - There was something rather unsettling in President Obama’s preemptive strike on the Supreme Court at Monday’s news conference. “I’d just remind conservative commentators that for years what we’ve heard is the biggest problem on the bench is judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint — that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law,” Obama said. “Well, here’s a

Artur Davis Calls Biden Remarks 'Racial Visiousness'...

 by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny Artur Davis, articulate, intelligent, honest, and spot on in his criticism of both Vice President Joe (Dufus) Biden and President Obama. ( CNN ) - Artur Davis, the former four-term Democratic congressman from Alabama, said Wednesday that Vice President Joe Biden was propagating "racial viciousness" when he said Mitt Romney's regulatory policies would "put y'all back in chains." Biden made the comments Tuesday to a predominantly black crowd in Danville, Virginia, a city with a long history of racial tension. In May Davis announced he was switching to the GOP, leaving the door open to a future political bid as a Republican. Skip Davis, who is black, said the comment smacked of a type of divisiveness he said was all too common in the South. "It brought back memories for me," Davis told Wolf Blitzer on CNN's "The Situation Room." "It brought back memories of th
