Technically, a cracker is a Florida cattleman. Most are white or Hispanic. They acknowledge the term refers to their skill with a bullwhip, but insist that they and their ancestors only used the whips on cows. Whipping a slave would reduce his value. We have a "Crackerfest" here in Melbourne every year to celebrate local cattle culture. This was a confrontation between a homeowner and a thug that didn't go the way the thug had planned. When someone jumps you from behind, sits on you, and knocks your skull into the cement, it reduces both your ability and your inclination to consider his civil rights. But neighborhood watch volunteers are supposed to be unarmed, so the Martin family will collect big on their civil suit against the homeowner's association. | ||

I'll never understand why people "I used to consider smart"...absolutely think that Travon was a pillar of the community and was gunned downed/murdered. Are they blind? Spoon-fed? assimilated? I don't get it. What am I missing that they didn't? | ||

Why do some people think a particular politician is great when it's really obvious that he lies all the time? ( won't even pick one.... go ahead, I know you can ) When every "news" source you watch tells you the same lie, why shouldn't you believe it? When the same people tell you that Faux news is not a legit news service, why shouldn't you believe it? When they tell you all your country's troubles are because of the Jew Bankers, why shouldn't you believe it? When they tell you that it's a kindness to separate certain groups of people from society, for their own protection, Why shouldn't you believe it? After all, the News you watch never mentions any deaths at the Concentration camps That one President (D) sent the Japanese to, or the murders caused by the guns another has sent to drug gangs in Mexico, or the murder called out for by the protesters paid with your money by another minion in the Exec. Branch........ So, it's understandable that people repeat what they are told, even if that is false info for evil purposes. That's why I don't just pay attention to one source. The Brits have a different perspective, the French another, Fox, NPR, listen to each, curse out the radio when appropriate, and keep salt handy. I used to joke that if you take Rush, and NPR, and split the difference, you'd be close to the truth..... But NPR got worse, and Rush got dumber, so I suspect it's now Glenn Beck & NPR, and shade it only 30% NPR. What you SHOULD do is pay a little attention to who lies the worst to you. When they cut 911 calls to change the meaning, pay attention to that, and know that they lie, and remember. Don't trust them again. And never trust any source owned by the Rat Kingdom. Enjoy the show, just don't buy the news pitch. | ||

Good call on "Cracker" James. Florida still is a major cattle producing region. | ||

Don't trust them again. You're referring, of course, to MSNBC, or BSNBC, to be more precise, home of Dear Leader's cabal of talking attack dogs, disguised (loosely) as journalists. Pravda, with a rabid 24/7 bite. I hear their ratings are in a free fall (graphed out, I imagine their plummet closely matches that of Dear Leader). When asked why, a former anchor and employee for BullShitNBC - David Shuster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Shuster), said:
Yeah, the risk is that your viewers eventually find the stench too offensive. This is a man who knows the inner workings of BSNBC intimately saying, in essence, that the network is nothing more or less than state-run media. Comes as no surprise to anyone who's been paying attention. Follow your nose. What's interesting to me is that in spite of BSNBC's obvious, vicious, relentless, racist, hate-baiting far-left bias, and despite taking a virtual beating in the ratings (presidential solidarity?), they STILL have an incredible amount of influence on the general public's perception of "the news." I guess low-information voters and low-information viewers are one in the same. Breitbart famously said, "The media is EVERYTHING." Or words to that effect. How true. If we actually had an honest media in this country, instead of Pravda on electronic steroids, we'd be far better off. Thank goodness for the good ones out there. | ||

tried to post a link to a fox news story STARNES: Jogger Claims He Was Attacked in Retaliation for Verdict | ||
| Oldog |
Ferris perhaps we as a group should post some links and names to various news sites that seem to be telling us the truth, I like Fox, BriteBart, NewsMax, When I have time American Thinker is a good read. What should be concerning every one is what is being missed while this news story is being beat to-death, We still have no answers for Fast & furious Benghazi IRS Now holding on the AHCA employer mandate NSA DOiJ is going to waste more money looking for some "perported-CR violation" at the behest of the NAACP . any one watching Harry Reids "Nuclear Option"? confirm obamas pics or else. There is some political slight of hand going on here, | ||

Interesting interview in which Alan Dershowitz says the DOJ should bring civil rights charges against the Florida prosecutor since she moved to prosecute AFTER the FBI and AFTER the police and AFTER the DA said there was nothing prosecutable. Dershowitz interview on DOJ: 6 minutes If we're talking civil rights violations, it is Zimmerman whose rights were violated. | ||
| Oldog |
Dershowitz, has commented on this matter a number of times, the NAACP complained to his employer, (Harvard?) law school, the reported response was along the lines of "so?" | ||

naacp - funny they go after GZ, you know, since he's half hispanic its about colored people, not just black people. well, originally, anyway | ||

If we're talking civil rights violations, it is Zimmerman whose rights were violated. Agreed:
Oldog, thanks for the sources you list. I don't do Fox much, but not because I don't like/agree with their viewpoints. I get 99.9% of my news from the internet. American Thinker is an excellent source, as you mentioned, as is the Patriot Post (http://patriotpost.us/), although I seldom follow their news links; I mostly read Mark Alexander's essays, and the editorials ("The Right Opinion") from his cadre of contributing conservative journalists. I have also found Legal Insurrection to be invaluable, particularly since their slant is viewing "the news" from a legal perspective. Also, there is usually much to be learned from reading the "comments" section on any piece on Legal Insurrection. Sure, there's some chaff, but most of the commenters are legal types and the conversations are usually intelligent and respectful. LI also has an extremely viable Tip Line, which is an awesome source for news and/or links to news: http://legalinsurrection.com/focus/tips/ | ||

Oldog, here's another: http://www.heritage.org/ Zimmerman Trial: The Holder Justice Department’s Latest Abuse of Power http://blog.heritage.org/2013/07/10/zimmerman-tria l-the-holder-justice-departments-latest-abuse-of-p ower/ | ||

Oldog, you mentioned Breitbart as a good new source, and rightly so. Here's the link to their "The Conversation" page. You can cover a lot of ground here in a hurry - timely news and links, and the page loads quickly: http://www.breitbart.com/instablog/all Note that if you pause for a second or two at the bottom of the first page, another page will load, etc., etc., etc. There's some fluff stuff to be found on this page, but most of it is serious and timely. I find particular value in Joel Pollak's pieces. | ||

Thanks Ferris some new ones I have not seen before. I have been looking for commentary from Alan Dershowitz, its telling. I am wondering what this is trying to cover for admin slight of hand. One link I came across was the niece of Dr MLK that seems to indicate that this "back lash" on zim is inappropriate, [ I have to wonder what DR King would say? ] The FBI and the JURORS say that race was not a factor, The sad thing IMO is that the race baiters are pawns for the o as he and his minions reak more havoc.. | ||
| Fb1 |
Oldog, an interesting aside about Andrew Breitbart that I think many folks are not aware of. Have you ever wondered what got him started in his crusade to expose corruption in federal government and the mainstream media (yeah, I know, they're one in the same)? He took exception to the cruel, abusive treatment of a black man:
It's funny (not) that the left still continues to vilify Breitbart to this day, when, in fact, he "got his start" vigorously defending the civil rights of a black man. | ||
| Ninefortheroad |
[ I have to wonder what DR King would say? ] I grew up during that time, I know he would be very disappointed and condemning of most of the protests. | ||
| Xdigitalx |
I know he would be very disappointed and condemning of most of the protests Are there any protest's that are not racially motivated? That are motivated towards CCW or the Stand your ground law?? I think he would approve those. I cringe every time I hear someone speak of racial profiling from this case. The kid could have been any race or color and Zimmerman would have done the same thing. He didn't know it was a kid and he didn't positively know he was a black kid until the confrontation and at that point (according to GZ) TM was making gansta threats. What if TM was a real criminal?? Zimmerman would probably be dead. | ||

This thread was started re: the State's "star" witness, who spoke to CNN ("The most trusted name in news"  ) last night.
I'm pretty much speechless. | ||

She is getting better at performing in front of the camera. Also shows me how out of touch I am in understanding some Socio-economic cultures | ||

I just listened to Ms. Jeantel on the radio (Wilkow Majority) at lunch. I'm 30, date a black woman, grew up in a black neighborhood and have no idea what she's talking about on the 'cracka' thing. Wow. I believe MLK once applied for a CCW, but was denied due to 'lack of charactor' if I remember correctly. | ||
| Reepicheep |
Did you also see the report that one of the potential jurors was black, but was dismissed by the prosecution because they watched Fox news? That is wrong on so many levels... | ||
| Pdxs3t |
FB1...If you think back to something I mentioned to ya not long ago. I had said, when Trayvon was on the phone with Jeantel. I would be willing to bet all I had, that Jeantel, during that phone conversation told Martin to go whip that Krackers Arse for following him. | ||

The martin family attorney was on Gretta van susteran last night and let out that she was a social engineer in addition to being an attorney. She said basically people like her were responsible for giving a voice to minorities and other people to demand justice for trayvon. If you watch some of the protests you can see and hear radical political language from people more interested in taking this event and using it to further their political agendas. Demonizing people of wealth, capatilism, painting white people with a broad brush etc. I think they are too bold and deceptive that they will succeed in most of their endeavors. | ||

I caught a "global workers party" sign at one of the rallies. I believe that may be some of the "Slight of hand" that I wondered about the trial & protests cover some thing else what the sharptons and jacksons don't understand is when that new world order comes about they will be silenced if it is not the overseers view. } | ||

I just heard (on MSNBC) that the boogyman is real...and he doesnt live under your bed...he lives out in the street... and his name is George Zimmerman! | ||
| Ninefortheroad |
I wonder, what type of work Ms. Jeantel does or plans on doing? Depending on your business, would you hire her? I am thinking she may work out as a talk show host for maybe "The View" There seems like a growing issue with young people that actually have the desire to work or learn a viable skill. Our factory seems to retain more more refugees and immigrants than locals? (Message edited by Ninefortheroad on July 16, 2013) | ||

I would be willing to bet all I had, that Jeantel, during that phone conversation told Martin to go whip that Krackers Arse for following him. It could explain several of Mr. Martin's decisions that night, and might also explain some of Ms. Jeantel's statements and reluctance to get involved after the fact. | ||

I think they are too bold and deceptive that they will succeed in most of their endeavors. On the contrary, I think the actions by the left, including what we've seen in the Zimmerman case, are purposely designed to be "in your face." Our president has certainly not hidden his agenda from view. He knows we're on to him, but he also knows he wields all the power. It's amazing to me, with all the scandals (not a strong enough word) with his name on them, he is STILL the president, and even Congress seems powerless to do anything about it. If you consider that demoralizing conservative Americans is a very probable high-priority goal of the left, then a lot of the stuff we see and hear going on makes a lot more sense. I don't think the president and his minions, including the folks involved in bringing Zimmerman to trial, are trying to hide a thing - it's all part of the agenda. | ||
