Charleston is not Ferguson nor Baltimore

Brian Hyder  "Hey Ferguson. Hey Baltimore. This is South Carolina. This is how we do it. We are family.
"No riots. No looting. Nobody acting like animals.
"What do you see here? Multi-racial. Multi-ethnic. All colors. All races. Banding together to defeat evil.
"No Obama. No Sharpton. We don't need Obama's politicizing attitude. We don't need Sharpton's divisive presence. Both of you, STAY AWAY!"

Democrats and Charleston

Lloyd Marcus: Casting Blame for Charleston: They Can't Help Themselves "In general, the responses by community leaders to the horrible shooting coming out of Charleston have been wonderful: unifying, prayerful and inspiring.

"Sadly, the usual suspects on the Left could not resist exploiting the devastating evil terrorist attack to further their political agenda and demonize conservatives. MSNBC typically tried to stir the pot of racial hate claiming Charleston residents told them they are fed up with such attacks, as if the shooting were a routine occurrence. The residents that I heard interviewed talked about all races in their community coming together to promote healing. MSNBC is despicable and evil. . . .

First and foremost, the Democratic Party has sold its soul to progressivism. Without divine intervention, the relentless pursuit of their agenda trumps everything. American lives and national race relations are considered acceptable collateral damage in achieving their ultimate goal; big brother controlling everyone and everything in our lives.

Facts for the mighty mouth to swallow..  "Obama, on the Charleston shootings:  "[W]e as a country have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries.”
"No doubt many of Obama's progressive disciples will abjectly swallow his mendacious pronouncement.  Here is some factual "ammunition" for supporters of the Second Amendment.

President Obama just can't help it  " President Obama just missed an opportunity to bring the country together at a time of serious hurt from coast to coast."

5 Pathetic Exploitations of Charleston Murders

Legal Insurrection
  Bringing “never let a tragedy go to waste” to a whole new level.

1. When in doubt, blame Fox News 

"The left has always had an abusive relationship with the journalists at Fox News, and never waits long before trying to tie the latest domestic tragedy to the “hate filled rhetoric” “spewing” from the conservative network.

"South Carolina Democratic Representative Todd Rutherford all but blamed the Charleston massacre on “things like Fox News,” and when confronted by Bill O’Reilly, doubled down."

" Newsbusters has the breakdown:. . .

2. …and All Whites

Salon’s thinkpiece culture is always good for a laugh, but their molten take on the shootings in Charleston was nothing but a 1000 word attempt to hold all white people responsible for the actions of Dylann Roof. The tag line claims that Charleston has “revealed a double standard” on race, but unfortunately for Salon, all they’ve done is reveal their own enthusiasm for reverse racism.
 . . . 

3. Projection coming from our top men. Top. Men.

"Always. Every time. Probably until forever. Is this man never not on the stump?
 "Here’s a snippet from President Obama’s statement following the massacre:

We don’t have all the facts, but we do know that, once again, innocent people were killed in part because someone who wanted to inflict harm had no trouble getting their hands on a gun.
Now is the time for mourning and for healing. But let’s be clear: . . .

4. The handcuffs that weren’t…and then were.

..Well, white this, racist demagogue:

5. A “whiff of white supremacy”

You knew Chris Matthews would have something to say about this, didn't you?

We have seen the class and Christian grace the surviving victims demonstrated. Let us pray that the actions of the Sharptons, MSNBC commentators (pick any), Congressional Black Caucus, and numerous vandals hoping to get new TVs do not destroy this tragic but lovely memory of the Christians' forgiveness toward this racist murderer.

Race-Baiting Protesters Finding Out Charleston Is Not Like Ferguson

. . . "Rightly or wrongly, if a black person is killed by a white person (usually law enforcement) in those cities, the conflict-driven Marxist agitators need only show up and toss a few incendiary racist comments before the whole area is in chaos.

"But that’s proven hard to do in Charleston.

"Dylann Roof wanted to start a “race war,” and by all accounts, that might be exactly what some professional protesters wants to do too." . . .

Warning Signs

 

"The Wednesday, June 10 Wall Street Journal headline at the top of the page was “Obama Set to Expand Troops in Iraq.” We were 589 days into the two terms Barack Hussein Obama has served in the office of President of the United States and he is as clueless now as he was when he arrived on January 20, 2009.

“ 'President Barack Obama is poised to send hundreds more American advisers to a new base in a strategic Iraqi region to help devise a counterattack against marauding Islamic State militants, U.S. officials said Tuesday, a shift that underscores American concern over recent battlefield losses.” It’s 450 “trainers.”

"We have had losses because (1) Obama was elected on a promise to end the conflict in Iraq and (2) reelected by pulling out troops to the point that the remaining Iraqi troops—Shiites in the south—decided it wasn’t worth dying for their leaders. Can’t say I blame them, but dying at the hands of ninth century Islamic fanatics is the fate that threatens the entire Middle East, not just Iraq or what’s left of it." . . .Full Article

Krauthammer: A new strategy for Iraq and Syria

Charles Krauthammer

 

. . . "What to do? Redirect our efforts to friendly forces deeply committed to the fight, beginning with the Kurds, who have the will, the skill and have demonstrated considerable success. This year alone, they have taken back more than 500 Christian and Kurdish towns from the Islamic State. Unlike the Iraqi army, however, they are starved for weapons because, absurdly, we send them through Baghdad, which sends along only a trickle.

"This week, more Kurdish success. With U.S. air support, Syrian Kurds captured the strategic town of Tal Abyad from the Islamic State. Which is important for two reasons. Tal Abyad controls the road connecting the terror group’s capital of Raqqa to Turkey, from which it receives fighters, weapons and supplies. Tal Abyad is “a lung through which [the Islamic State] breathed and connected to the outside world,” said Kurdish commander Haqi Kobane.
. . .
 "These [Kurdish] successes suggest a new U.S. strategy. Abandon our anachronistic fealty to the central Iraqi government (now largely under Iran’s sway anyway) and begin supplying the Iraqi Kurds in a direct, 24-hour, Berlin-style airlift. And in Syria, intensify our training, equipping and air support for the now-developing Kurdish safe zone. Similarly, through Jordan, for the Free Syrian Army’s Southern Front. Such a serious and relentless strategy would not only roll back Islamic State territorial gains, it would puncture the myth of Islamic State invincibility.

"The Hillary Paradox"

 The Hillary Paradox consists of two perceptions that are irreconcilable. The first is that Hillary Clinton is a person of uncommon decency, compassionate and deeply committed to justice. The second is that many of her actions over many years are the work of a person who couldn’t possibly be uncommonly decent. How could someone with a wonderful reputation so often behave disreputably?

Read of the Day: The Hillary Paradox
"Andrew Ferguson, the witty and insightful senior editor of the Weekly Standard, has done one of those jobs Americans don’t want to do: he has re-read a shelf’s worth of admiring biographies of Hillary Clinton. The result is a wonderful and revealing article titled, “The Hillary Paradox,” a phenomenon that puzzles only her admirers.

The Hillary Paradox;  Pity the woman’s admirers  Excerpt below:

Donkey Hotey

. . ."And what had to be done? Gerth and Van Natta found a private memo written by Palladino to the campaign in 1992. In it he explained his goal in dealing with Gennifer Flowers: “to impeach her character and veracity until she is destroyed beyond all recognition.” That worked too. Flowers became a national joke. It was later reported that a former roommate who had confirmed Flowers’s account to reporters received a visit from Palladino. “Do you think Gennifer is the sort of person who would commit suicide?” he asked her. 

Palladino reported his progress to Betsey Wright, who passed the word to Hillary. And the other women on Wright’s list kept quiet. 

Some of the methods have been gentler, if no subtler. In 1994, an Arkansas state employee named Paula Corbin Jones insisted on pursuing her lawsuit against President Clinton, who she said had exposed himself to her in a hotel room when he was governor. Soon, nude photos of Jones taken by an estranged boyfriend mysteriously fell into the hands of the editors of Penthouse magazine, which rushed them into print. As anyone who saw the pictures knows, the intent was embarrassment, not prurience. 

Another woman, Kathleen Willey, accused the president of making a similar “pass,” this time in the Oval Office. “With Hillary’s go-ahead,” Gerth and Van Natta write, “the White House then released nine fawning letters that Willey had sent to Bill after the alleged incident.” The letters disproved Willey’s story, reporters concluded. 

Mrs. Clinton’s theory here, successful as it was, seems particularly old fashioned: If the survivor of a sexual assault speaks kind or forgiving words about her assailant, then either (1) the assault didn’t occur or (2) the victim agreed to it. The phrase “had it coming” may be too old-fashioned even for Hillary’s team. 

We’ve known about all this for a long time—about Hillary Clinton’s blistering campaign to discredit the women who wanted to tell the truth about her husband." . . .

Was Charleston shooter on powerful mind-altering drug?

The shooter was reported to be on Suboxone, which includes these possible side effects:

Psychiatric

Common (1% to 10%): Anxiety, depression, nervousness, abnormal thinking
Uncommon (0.1% to 1%): Abnormal dreams, agitation, apathy, depersonalization, drug dependence, euphoric mood, hostility
Frequency not reported: Restlessness, irritability
Postmarketing reports: Hallucination, attempted suicide, insomnia^[Ref]

 Cop who apprehended him in February found disturbing evidence

"While the Justice Department immediately confirmed it is investigating the Charleston church shooting as a “hate” crime and President Obama chose to focus on the need for more gun control, a less-publicized aspect of the Charleston church-shooting story is the role of a powerful drug that the 21-year-old suspect was known to be using.

"The picture beginning to emerge about the shooter, Dylann Roof, is one of a young man who was into long-term and hard-core drug abuse. He was apprehended at a mall in February by a police officer who made a startling discovery." . . .

"One patient named James posted his experience with Suboxone on Mental Health Daily:

“Man this is the toughest thing to go threw [sic] period. I’m about 3 weeks into it and I feel like hurting myself. I have been threw [sic] a lot of stuff in my life but this takes the cake,” he commented.

Another, Lana, posted, “I’m going insane!!” She added, “Suboxone increased my depression, I lack motivation, I was nauseous nonstop, I gained weight. … I lost all motivation and love for life.”

Kris posted, “My doc won’t refill my prescription. So I am sitting here, restless, irritable, mood swings, feeling like I am going to f*****g snap!!!”

Faceless Evil

. . .  But what he really wanted was for the world to know his name. To give him notoriety, even of the most heinous kind, because he believed it better than the nameless obscurity which he actually deserved.
Which is why you won't see his name or face here.  Fame is not a just reward for being a murderous loser.

The tragedy of what happened to those 9 victims is unfathomable. And there will certainly be a second tragedy when this horror is eagerly appropriated and manipulated for political purposes, because such is the sad nature of our times.

So Hope n' Change would like to preemptively clear the air by naming some of those who are not to blame for this massacre: Democrats or Republicans. White people or black people. Al Sharpton or Rush Limbaugh.

Neither the NRA nor the NAACP is to blame. Not Facebook, Youtube, Twitter or Instagram. This is not the fault of Barack Obama, movies, television, Rap music, violent video games, schools, religion or atheism.

The list could go on endlessly, because there is only one person at fault here. A nameless, faceless hate-filled punk who is certainly insane.

We only hope that our nation can maintain its own sanity enough to remember that simple fact over the next few days.

Obama so shaken by Charleston shootings, he attends only 2 fundraisers

Andrew Malcolm

 

. . . "As president -- heck, as a fast-food, burger flipper -- Obama has the right to speak out about anything he deems important. Many of us, in fact, feel Obama has spoken out on many more things than he needs to as a photo-op substitute for meaningful action or real leadership. And have tuned him out for these final 580 days of his Oval Office tenure.

That doesn't diminish the horrible, senseless South Carolina crime that offends the decency and values of virtually every American.

What also offends, however, is how this president behaves after he speaks out on awful tragedies as the nation's elected leader.

"Too many times" he bemoans the incident, then blithely goes off to political fundraisers collecting millions of dollars. Or he golfs. Or this weekend, he does both.  Read More At Investor's Business Daily:

A National Tragedy and a Partisan Response

 

Frontpage "Why do black lives only seem to matter when white people take them? Why does the president of the United States think it’s proper to take a horrible racial tragedy in Charleston South Carolina as an excuse to bash America as the violence capital of the “advanced” world, and a prop for Democrats’  lust for gun control legislation in a state that already has it?

"Last year 82 people were shot over the Fourth of July weekend in Chicago. 16 of them died. The victims and the shooters were black.

"Now two 15-year-olds have already been shot in a single Chicago neighborhood in two days.
. . . 
 "Chicago’s bloody weekends show us that the politicians and reporters haven’t turned their attention to Charleston because they care about dead black people.

"They are there for the psychotic killer, Dylann Storm Roof, not for his victims. They are there for a Southern state with a Republican governor who can be safely blamed the way that their Mayor of Chicago can’t. They are there to use the voiceless dead as convenient props in their campaign for gun control – in a state that already has some of the toughest gun control laws in the South. They don’t care about black people. They care about their political agendas." . . .
 Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam.


Obama's shameful, phony gun control rhetoric in the wake of Charleston massacre
"If access to firearms were as easy as President Obama insisted in the aftermath of the South Carolina church massacre, Carol Bowne would be alive today. The 39-year-old New Jersey woman with a restraining order against an ex-boyfriend was murdered by that boyfriend while she waited for her application for a gun permit to wind its way through a process that takes at least two months to complete. But it wasn’t completed soon enough" . . .

Standing on the backs of dead people to promote a political agenda 
. . . "But the biggest transgressors against respect for the dead and for the community that is suffering as a result of this tragedy are the racialists who are selling their own brand of hate by suggesting that virtually all white people are racist and potential murderers." . . .
