tomb-of-the-unknown2Our 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.

Richard Trumka (AFL-CIO) Wants To Offset Drops In Worker Union Membership By Signing Up NAACP and Social Groups….

Oh we know exactly where this is going.   This was predicted ten years ago by people who were very familiar with what the Far-Left Strain of Democrat Progressives (Fabian’s) were going to go….   The key to knowing where this heads, is to understand the “control” element in making people dependent on you and your representation for their capacity in life.   Democrats are modern day “share-croppers”.
trumka-obama-3-550x275WASHINGTON — Calling the labor movement in crisis, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka says he will push far-reaching changes at the federation’s convention next month, including forging closer partnerships and even accepting as members such outside groups as the Sierra Club and the NAACP.
The changes, some of which will require amending the AFL-CIO’s bylaws, are part of a strategy aimed at reviving the labor movement’s falling clout and recasting it as a champion for American workers generally, not just for the declining ranks of dues-paying union members. (more…)

From what I can determine they want to get rid of Greta Van Sustern

Giddy Up – South Carolina Republicans Pass Resolution Calling For Lindsey Graham Removal…

I hope they are successful.   I’ve never understood how the same state, with the same party, and the same electorate could simultaneously elect Liberal Lindsey Graham and Conservative Jim DeMint (now self-term limited out/retired).  I could never figure that out…
Lindsey Graham
South Carolina – Greenville County (S.C.) Republicans have introduced a resolution condemning liberal U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham for acting in a manner ”fundamentally inconsistent with the principles of the South Carolina Republican Party.” (more…)

This Is All About Politics – Dept. Of Defense Tells Fort Hood Victims' Families They Are Not Allowed To Talk To The Media…

The trial of Fort Hood Shooter, Nidal Hasan, continues.    The entire complex where the trial is taking place is like a military war camp outpost in Eastern Afghanistan.

All of this for the consideration of “workplace violence“?
Why are they so worried about a terrorist attack if the trial is not of a “terrorist”?
But what’s worse is this latest revelation shared by Dana Losech and posted on RedState: (more…)

Sybrina Fulton, Her Son Jahvaris, And Some Unrelated Guy Named "Fruit", Represent Modern African Americans On The Cover of Ebony Magazine…

I wonder if the other people who are sharing the cover of Ebony Magazine know that Jahvaris Fulton is the son of Sybrina Fulton, and not her ex husband Tracy “Fruit” Martin, who has fathered 4 or 5 other kids by other women; some while married to the prior child’s mothers.

Then again, now that I think about it, the “We are Trayvon” catch phrase probably does attach aptly to most of the group claiming such a descriptive as their commonality.
In order to be “like Trayvon” a person would have to be:

  • Violent (worship thug and street gang culture)
  • Kicked out of school (after missing 53 days with 2 prior suspensions)
  • Kicked out of their home (after threatening to kill mom)
  • Have no stable family (live with aunts, uncles, step moms etc)
  • A known drug user (Marijuana, DXM, and Sizzurp/Lean)
  • A known burglar (Prior diverted criminal arrests)
  • A Criminally diverted failed student (Miami-Dade School Police)
  • An illegal gun owner  (With Dad showing best way to get)

So when you see magazine covers saying “We Are Trayvon” the best approach is probably to say: Yep,…. and, quite frankly, that might just be the problem.

EBONY – It’s hard to believe that it was only 18 months ago that we lost Trayvon Martin. In the explosive time since that fateful night, February 26, 2012, generations of Black America have come to terms with the fact that we live in a country that often eats its young—our young. (more…)

Democrats Gave Talking Points To Anti-Gun Advocates Telling Them To "use the Trayvon Martin shooting" to advance their goals…

WASHINGTON DC – Newly uncovered Democratic anti-NRA talking points urge anti-gun advocates and politicians to hype high-profile gun incidents like the Florida slaying of Trayvon Martin to win support for new gun control laws.

In talking points likely followed by top Democratic leaders including President Obama after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in December, the anti-gun “guide” urged gun foes to speak out when a shooting “creates a unique climate” to shout down the National Rifle Association. (more…)
