I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the islamic states of America….. 

Ah, the wonderful world of progressive ideological policy – Consider Afghanistan.  Only under the progressive President Obama could one find such new definitions of United States foreign policy.
Today President Obama’s Secretary of State Hillary Clinton highlighted the anti-American hatred shared by this administration.  In Afghanistan Secretary Clinton made the proclamation that Afghanistan is now considered a “major non-Nato ally” of the US.
Really?    Wow.   It was only a few short weeks ago when Afghanistan’s President Hamid Karzai called our American troops in his country “demons”, and proclaimed  U.S. troops will “never be forgiven.” (more…)

Omar and Sibilj have provided some good food for thought regarding Mark O’Mara.   But before presenting their articulate comments for expansion I need to clarify a few things.
Some of you might see me use the term “prog” in many of my posts and comments.  Let me identify what I mean and position the backdrop for future understanding.  Truth has no agenda – People Do.
There is a keen, albeit difficult to grasp at times, distinction between advocacy and ideology.
I am open, wide open, to being an advocate for Mark O’Mara, but honesty, intellectual honesty, demands a substantive reason.  I have outlined twenty specific instances when my capacity to grant benefit of doubt, toward altruistic intention, has been stretched.
Simultaneously, by conviction, I must also be open to being more favorable to Trayvon Martin’s family position if presented with substantive, factual, and valid reasoning. (more…)

Use this thread as an open thread just for Zimmerman Case stuff. A place to just dump, collect, or discuss general information about the Trayvon Martin VS George Zimmerman Case.

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 †

Do you love Miley Cyrus, but hate racoons?  Well then, have we got the the viral video for you!   Only goes to prove that Southerners are not only resourceful, they have a wicked sense of humor too.   Our unidentified gentlemen says…
“Aw aw aw… will you, aw will you quit?   I’m ready for some Hannah Montana coon repellent.  Bite me now … I don’t think so.”

Update. Sorry, but the poll was/is a neccessary set-up of sorts.  I set it up to, identify an issue, prove a theory and simultaneously identify some agenda driven site users.    The poll is tracking ip addresses and allows voting multiple times. I can see who is trying to skew the poll and therefore identify “guests” with diminished integrity.
Looks like the theory is quite statistically valid. (more…)

It looks like the sheer volume of people trying to access the GZLegalCase site for the judge’s “Order Setting Bail” has caused the server to crash.  Here are all 9 pages of the PDF file for those interested in the details.  Since this is not ‘text’ but just scanned images, you’ll have to excuse the poor quality and offset.

Yeah, he said that, Mitt Romney’s fault.   Previously it was George Bush’s fault.   Progs never take responsibility for “their” actions.
(Politico)  AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka is out with a scathing statement attacking Mitt Romney and “his Republican allies in Congress” on the June jobs report.

“The cruel reality is Mitt Romney and his Republican allies in Congress are willing to sabotage the recovery in the hope of scoring political points against the President,” said Trumka, whose union endorsed President Obama earlier this year.
Trumka acknowledged the slow jobs growth reflected in Friday’s report, which showed unemployment unchanged at 8.2 percent. (more…)

Update at 4:01 p.m. ET:   Zimmerman’s parents, Robert and Gladys, put up their home as collateral to get their son released, according to papers released by the Seminole County sheriff, USA TODAY’s Yamiche Alcindor reports.  Zimmerman will also pay $9.50 a day for his electronic monitoring.
Update at 3:20 p.m. ET:  Read the judge’s bail order … (pdf file).
SANFORD, Fla. —George Zimmerman was released from the Seminole County Jail around 2:50 p.m. Friday after posting a $1,000,000 bond.  A Florida judge ruled Thursday that George Zimmerman can be released from jail a second time on $1 million bond, saying he set the bail amount significantly higher because Zimmerman may have been hiding money as part of a plot to flee the country.
