The part of this story which draws the biggest distinction for me, is how everyone acts like this is a rare or isolated example. It’s not. There are hundreds of “Thrill Kills“, or successful “Polar Bear Hunts“, every single day.
The media act like this is incredibly rare – it’s not; The only reason they are talking about this one is because the police Chief told the media the kids admitted to being bored, and did it just for the heck of it. Usually the police don’t talk about motive or perpetrator statements, that’s why you do not hear the frequency of this. Its quite common – although the victims do not always die.

WASHINGTON – President Obama’s spokesman described the murder of Australian baseball player Christopher Lane in Oklahoma as a “pretty tragic case,” saying that Obama’s comments after the Trayvon Martin case apply to Lane. (more…)

This is excerpted from a speech President Coolidge made on the occasion of the 150th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence

Placing every man on a plane where he acknowledged no superiors, where no one possessed any right to rule over him, he must inevitably choose his own rulers through a system of self-government. This was their theory of democracy.  
In those days such doctrines would scarcely have been permitted to flourish and spread in any other country. This was the purpose which the fathers cherished.  In order that they might have freedom to express these thoughts and opportunity to put them into action, whole congregations with their pastors had migrated to the colonies.  These great truths were in the air that our people breathed.  Whatever else we may say of it, the Declaration of Independence was profoundly American.
If this apprehension of the facts be correct, and the documentary evidence would appear to verify it, then certain conclusions are bound to follow.  
A spring will cease to flow if its source be dried up; a tree will wither if its roots be destroyed. In its main features the Declaration of Independence is a great spiritual document.  It is a declaration not of material but of spiritual conceptions.  
Equality, liberty, popular sovereignty, the rights of man – these are not elements which we can see and touch. They are ideals. They have their source and their roots in the religious convictions.  They belong to the unseen world. Unless the faith of the American people in these religious convictions is to endure, the principles of our Declaration will perish.  
We can not continue to enjoy the result if we neglect and abandon the cause.

To be continued.

Correct answer to such a request = um, NO !

If you want to insure the immediate DEATH of a Constitutional Republic take taxpayer money from fiscally prudent places and spend it to bail out the insufferably incompetent.  Such a proposition should  -if actually applied- LEAD TO CIVIL WAR.

(Via MSNBC)  American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) President Lee Saunders:

We’ve got to deal with this, Chris. I believe not only as it affects Detroit but the national government. This administration has a responsibility to deal with the problems and impact on urban centers across this country. The engines — the engines of states who are experiencing financial difficulty. I’m not saying we’ve got to bail everything out, but if we can rescue cities and countries in Europe, if we can bail out Wall Street — which we did — if we can rescue the auto industry, which was the right thing to do, then i think we’ve got to think about creative measures in which we can help urban centers across the country experiencing financial difficulty.  (link)

Ya think?

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

In Houston Texas a middle-aged black woman named Mona Nelson kidnapped a 12-year-old white boy from his home on Christmas Eve 2010.  She tied him up with string, then burned him with a blowtorch, and dumped his body in a ditch.  Reverse the races and this would be the lead story every night in the media – Same reason it’s being ignored.
Update from Monday and Today.
From Monday […]  HPD Detective Mike Miller took the stand for much of the day Monday.  He testified about physical evidence he collected that prosecutors say ties Mona Nelson to the murder of 12-year-old Jonathan Foster.

Foster’s body was found in a ditch, burned beyond recognition, and Miller described seeing a lot of leaves around the body.  When he went to Nelson’s property, he said the same kind of leaves were everywhere, along with a strong odor of burning. (more…)

I am the former chief of the Miami Police Dept. (MPD), and I just sent a request to Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio to initiate a Senate investigation of Thomas Perez and DOJ in their biased and slipshod investigation of MPD for alleged excessive use of deadly force.

In my request, I cite and give examples where DOJ omitted or misrepresented facts. I am attaching a copy of the request.
