On Friday, the President gave
a speech to the nation, where he talked about the Zimmerman/Martin shooting.
Here is the video and transcript of the speech. A money quote:
...if Trayvon Martin was
of age and armed, could he have stood his ground on that sidewalk? And
do we actually think that he would have been justified in shooting Mr.
Zimmerman who had followed him in a car because he felt threatened? And
if the answer to that question is at least ambiguous, then it seems to
me that we might want to examine those kinds of laws...
As a person who has supposedly graduated from Harvard Law, you would expect that Obama would have been taught that a person following another does not rise to the level of deadly force, nor does it even allow a person to use non-deadly force. In other words, just because someone is following you does not mean that you can punch or shoot him.
Now since we can be fairly sure that a person who has graduated from Harvard Law, was the editor of the Law Review, and supposedly even taught law classes at Harvard would be knowledgeable enough to understand this concept, we must assume that he is being deliberately misleading. (In other words, lying.) The question then beomes: Why?
Now I have always been of the opinion that when a person asks the question of "Why do they?" or "Why don't they?", the answer is almost always: "Money." I don't think that is the case here. I think it is bigger than that.
It appears to me that the President is trying to stir up racial animosity and discord, but for what purpose? Is he trying to distract voters from his dismal record, and from the IRS scandal, Fast and Furious, his poor foreign policy, the NSA spying scandal, and other missteps? Possibly.
Is this just a part of his "under the radar" gun control effort? Chances are high there. Gun owners as a Democrat scapegoat is an old story.
Is he trying to stir up the black vote for the next election? Probably not. That election is too far in the future, and the American public has too short of an attention span for this to have an effect on the election a year and a half from now.
Could this discord be designed to cause a race war that will be used to cause enough strife for the President to declare martial law and suspend elections? Possibly, but HIGHLY unlikely. There are too many people, both within and without the military, that would oppose such action.
This could be a combination of the above, or there may be other reasons. There are more questions here than answers, but one thing is for sure: The President is lying.
I think Borepatch covered it as well as it can be covered.
ReplyDeleteFor sure he's lying. It's part of the transformation of America into a fascist state. The game is to balkanize the country into warring groups whose only common thread is dependence on, or fear of, the Federal government.
"Government is gathering unprecedented power to itself at the precise moment that a President is using that power not to unite, but to fracture the country. To "reward his friends and punish his enemies". He is, as he promised, doing his best to fundamentally transform the country. His vision is a fragmented country, not a united one: some groups are politically useful, and are to be groomed and subsidized; others are politically dangerous and are to be broken by the full power of the State."
If you haven't, read that post. It's seriously good analysis.
