Ominous outlook for the Zimmermann trial.

The US population seems more third-world than ever.
 
More Americans View Blacks As Racist Than Whites, Hispanics  "Americans consider blacks more likely to be racist than whites and Hispanics in this country.
"Thirty-seven percent (37%) of American Adults think most black Americans are racist, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Just 15% consider most white Americans racist, while 18% say the same of most Hispanic Americans. (To see survey question wording, click here.)"

Sanford Police Chief Fears “Violence” in Response to Zimmerman Verdict   "City Manager Norton Bonaparte is similarly on edge, fearing a Rodney King-style riot if Zimmerman is found not guilty."
Can Zimmermann get a fair trial with pressure like this?

Tea Party Members Fit Profile of Domestic Terrorists, Obama Claims

Liberal cartoonists join with Obama in demonizing the TEA Party:
National Report   "A short time ago while addressing a CEO roundtable and Business Forum in Tanzania, President Barack H. Obama, told reporters and attendees that today’s Tea Party members in the United States very closely fit the U.S. government’s profile for domestic terrorists. The President’s response came after a Tanzania businessman asked if civil unrest in the U.S. is likely to affect doing business with American companies."
....
..."Obama responded by saying, “Typically domestic terrorists in the U.S. are people who cling to obsolete beliefs from the time of the American Revolution. They are conservative Christians, reactionary Republicans and conspiracy theorists many of whom belong to racist hate groups.” "

'The Lone Ranger' Follows P.C. Narrative, Smites Greedy Capitalist

Big Hollywood   "The Lone Ranger opens with a sly storytelling device that acknowledges Hollywood's checkered past regarding the depiction of Native Americans. That apparently wasn't enough for the new Hollywood reboot, which mocks the "white man," targets a capitalist and casts aspersions at the U.S. military in true modern fashion."

"The Entertainers of 2003 have been in all of the news media lately. It seems Newspapers, Television and Radio has been more than ready to put them and their message before the public.

"Look what the entertainers of 1943 were doing, 60 years ago. Most of these brave men have since passed on."

Overthrow Morsi/ And end the Muslim Brotherhood's dictatorial rule in Egypt  President Obama "pushed for hasty elections before more moderate parties had time to organize, and gave them no assistance. Even now, he lends the Morsi regime legitimacy by calling it democratically elected when its aims and means are clearly undemocratic and deeply illiberal. It’s no wonder that President Obama and our ambassador to Egypt, Anne Patterson, are objects of the protesters’ fury."

Can Christians Live Freely in Obama's America?

CNS News  "Two hundred and thirty-seven years ago, a group of Americans representing what were then English colonies gathered in Philadelphia and agreed to risk all they had on a certain proposition.

" "We hold these truths to be self-evident," they said, "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."

 "Having won their independence, Americans would eventually write and ratify a Constitution authorizing a limited central government — and would immediately add to that constitution a Bill of Rights.

"The first words in that Bill of Rights say: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." "....

Surprise! Israeli “Racism” Is Waning

Commentary Magazine   "Thus the best way to moderate Israeli Jewish “racism” would be to moderate Israeli Arab extremism. But unfortunately, many well-meaning American Jews are doing the opposite: Via organizations like the New Israel Fund, they finance Israeli Arab groups that actively promote extremist views–like Adalah, which demands that Israel replace the Law of Return with a Palestinian “right of return” to Israel. And they are thereby distancing rather than promoting the more tolerant Israel they claim to want."

Obama facing crisis over incompetence

Political Cartoons by Ken Catalino
Hot Air    ...."The Obama administration has been damaged by the scandals of the past two months, but it’s still too early to see if they will cause the kind of long-term damage Bush suffered from those two chapters in his presidency.  It may well be that incompetence is the better option in terms of perception for Obama and his White House, depending on what the investigations find."
The administration is facing a crisis of competence. At a time when trust in government is already at an all-time low, the events of this past week illustrate the limits of this president’s power. The White House seems more comfortable stage-managing the news than dealing with the uncomfortable crises that inevitably crop up. (If there’s anything to learn from the Benghazi crisis, it was the administration’s attentiveness to detail in how to avoid blame in the aftermath of the crisis, but a lack of focus in how to react as the crisis was occurring.)
In the above National Journal article, Obama's Crisis of Competence,
"For months, as the Morsi government has taken steps to consolidate power, quash critics and marginalize independent civil society groups, President Obama and his top aides have been largely silent in public. No effort was made to use the leverage of U.S. aid to compel a change of policy."

Quoting Bloomberg News: John Kerry’s Bid for Mideast Peace Is Doomed"It’s a testament to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s grit, determination and self-assurance that he refuses to give up in his quest to bring Israelis and Palestinians back to the negotiating table. But I wish that he would, during the long slog toward renewed talks, ask himself one question: Why didn’t his predecessor, Hillary Clinton, apply herself to the problem in the same manner?"

Related: Which is in worse shape, Obama’s domestic agenda or his foreign policy?    "Encouraged by the president, the notion is rampant that America can take a holiday from history. In the real world, we and our allies face an upsurge in instability, violence, Islamic extremism and contempt for human rights — which is what one gets when the United States takes the left’s advice and stops being the “world’s policeman.” " 

July 4, 1976--> Remembering Entebbe- When Leaders Stood Up To Terrorists

Yid With Lid  "On America's two hundredth birthday it was Israel who showed the world the "Spirit of 1776."
....
"Thirty-seven years ago it was a different world.  Israel stood up to terrorists and their daring raid was celebrated across the world. Today it is the terrorists who are celebrated, that is if they are mentioned at all.

"Much of the intervening years was filled with Western appeasement of terrorism.  We negotiate, we give in to their demands, we refuse to call them terrorists, we celebrate terrorists like Arafat and Abbas, we even blame terrorist acts on the victims. 

"Entebbe was the almost a final act of Western defiance, with every act of appeasement, with each acquiescence to terrorist demands, terrorism is suckling at the teat of Western lack of resolve. In the end, the west is feeding the monster that will cause its destruction."
