In what world does a thug like Michael Brown become
a martyr? Is he supposed to be the Rosa
Parks of today’s civil rights movement?
Let’s be frank, this guy strong armed a grocery store clerk and stole a
box of cigars. He later attacked a police
officer with the intent of killing him, and yes, forensic evidence backs up eyewitness
accounts. This cannot be an isolated
incident. I have no doubt Michael Brown had a history of
this kind of behavior. Yet, this is the
man blacks are hanging their hat on.
It is sad that the President of the United States is
a cheerleader for lawlessness. His
Attorney General, Eric Holder, who is complicit in the murder of U.S. border
patrol agents, incited a riot when the Grand Jury didn’t indict. On top of that, this administration is in cahoots
with racist like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan.
We are
hearing all sorts of excuses for the breakdown of the black community. So much so, liberals have claimed it an
institution. They want to embrace this
felonious culture, but only if it’s black.
Whitey has no excuse for their crimes because they were and are oppressors. Blacks can murder, steal and
cause mayhem however, whenever and wherever they choose because it’s their
birthright.
A couple of weeks ago, the Charlotte Observer
published a New York Times op-ed by Brent Staples in which he bemoaned the loss
of black political power because 1 out of 13 has felony convictions. And you guessed it; it’s all whitey’s
fault. According to Mr. Staples, our
election laws were designed by white supremacists to keep the black man
down. Here is the reasoning for allowing
murderers, rapist, and thieves the right to vote:
The debate looks a lot different in Maine and
Vermont, states where there are no black populations to speak of and racial
demonization does not come into the equation. Both states place no restrictions
on voting rights for people convicted of even serious crimes and have
steadfastly resisted efforts to revoke a system that allows inmates to vote
from prison.
Maine residents vigorously debated the issue last
year, when the Legislature took up — and declined to pass — a bill that would
have stripped the vote from some inmates, whose crimes included murder and
other major felonies. Families of murder victims argued that the killers had
denied their loved ones the right to vote and therefore should suffer the same
fate.
Those who opposed the bill made
several arguments: That the franchise is enshrined in the state Constitution
and too important to withdraw on a whim; that voting rights keep inmates
connected to civic life and make it easier for them to rejoin society; that the
notion of restricting rights for people in prison was inconsistent with the
values of the state.
A former United States marshal and police chief argued that
revoking inmate voting rights would strip imprisoned people of dignity and make
rehabilitation that much more difficult. The editorial page of The Bangor Daily
News argued against revocation on the grounds that, “Removing the right of some
inmates to exercise their legal responsibility as voters in a civilized society
would undermine that civilized society.”
There is dignity in being a convicted felon? I thought the point of a penal system was to
separate and punish those who’ve demonstrated their unwillingness to participate
in a civil society. They are in prison
because they are not civilized. Why would
we give them a right to vote? Is there a
bottom to the Democratic Party’s cesspool?
