This Is A Hate Crime!

This is another act of stupidity and people gone wild.  An innocent soldier celebrating the end of his service with his friends was attacked and killed because he was white.  The police in Lakewood, Washington reported that black men in a car yelled “cracker” repeated as the soldiers were walking along the sidewalk.  The two groups confronted each other but the report stated that the driver called it off after learning the soldiers were combat veterans.  But, one jerk wanted to be bad and stabbed Army Specialist Tevin Geike as they were leaving.  Not only are soldiers sacrificing their lives for our freedom everyday, we have jerks like this taking their sacrifices for our freedom for granted.  I still believe that the draft for military service should be reinstated.  It should be for all dropouts from the ages of 17-19 and mandatory for that same age group even if they have found a stabile career.  Shameful.  This country has enough problems already between the races and it seems to get worse everyday.

Day Three of the Government Shutdown!

What can I say?  Americans are held hostage by fellow Americans.  Rather than move forward towards progress, a few elected ultracons, backed by extremely rich folks, would rather keep everyone in the past.  It is amazing that if one lies enough, others will believe it as the truth.  Faux News is not telling the truth so they always resort to blame the liberal media.  I thought liberal meant being free, understanding and humanistic.  I guess aliens of some sort invaded that network.  It is a shame that they believe their own deceitful and divisive language.  It goes to show that everyone has a price.  Americans are still losing their jobs. The shutdown takes away even more from the economy.  No more visits to the Whitehouse and parks can not be worse than people being fed, losing their income and receiving healthcare.
