President Obama drew a line in the sand (red) and said the use of
chemical weapons in Syria would be a game changer. When that failed he
used a Jedi mind trick (which only work on the weak) saying the UN had
actually drawn the line years ago, he was only the messenger. Next he
said he would use military force in Syria and didn't need Congressional
approval. However when US allies turned their back on him, Obama said he
would ask for Congressional approval, even though he would still do
what he wanted. Now that the American people have said absolutely not,
Secretary of State Kerry was sent out to say the planned Syria attack
will be "smaller than you can imagine". Well I can Imagine pretty small;
as a matter of fact, lets just not attack and say we did; I mean at
this point, who would know?
Now that SofS John Kerry's gaff about al-Assad giving up his chemical weapons
has become US policy, John Kerry now claims that is was the
administrations threat of an "unbelievably small" use of military force is what cased al-Assad to agree. Really? So now we have the specter of UN resolutions on Syria for elimination chemical weapons, which will require weapon's inspectors access to various facilities that may or may not be granted. It's Déjà vu all over again!

My Enemy's Enemy and the Syrian Rebels' False Flag
There is an Islam saying, "My enemy's enemy is my friend". It appears
the President Obama has taken this to the extreme as while Americans are
dying at the hands of al Qaeda in Afghanistan he is now singing their
praises in Syria, desiring to ally the US with these terrorists in the
name of human decency, while al Qaeda allied terrorists continue to
murder rape and torture in Syria. In other world al Qaeda is our friend because they are enemies with the Assad Regime, but the enemy in Afghanistan that destroyed the Twin Towers and murdered over 2700 American Citizens on 9/11/2001; I guess we're going to need a score card. *Now the claim is that Syria has completely
ignored their own self interest and used chemical weapons on it's own
people (the last time chemical weapons were used in Syria it was aimed
at Syrian soldiers and the UN investigation blamed the rebels). This
time again there is a great deal of suppressed evidence, including al
Qaeda jihadists publicly claiming responsibility and our President is
alone in the world wanting to punish Syria for a crime they have yet to make a case beyond a reasonable doubt.
In May 2013 Secretary of State John Kerry used the same argument that only the Assad's Regime had the ability to maintain and disperse sarin gas. However a short time later Syran Rebels were arrested at the Syrian border with 2 kg of sarin gas Russia Asks Turkey for Info on Sarin Terrorist. This of course destroyed Kerry's talking points so it was simply ignored by the main stream press in the US. Further the the results of the UN investigation of the gas attack in May resulted in the UN declaring an almost surety that the gas attack was done by the rebels, not the Assad regime. Syrian Chemical Weapons Attack Carried Out by Rebels says UN. There is also the fact that the Syrian Rebels have had access to the Syrian Regime's chemical weapons since they temporary took control of the Syrian Sheikh Suleiman military base in December 2010, The Sheikh Suleiman base is thought to have been a key node in the Syrian military's chemical weapons program.
Syrian Government Accuses Rebels of Launching Chemical Attack These ongoing scenarios are so embarrassing that they have made the US and President Obama the laughing stock of the world and destroyed whatever credibility and respect remained since Obama took office. The real question in my mind is why Syria? What is so important about taking sides in the proxy war that originally started as the Syrian civil war. Is Obama going Down the Same Path as G.Bush and WMDs?
Regardless of the facts of who is using the sarin gas, we clearly have a proxy war building in Syria, with the US (representing Saudi Arabia), al-Queda and the Sunnis on one side and Russia, Assad, Hezbollah, and the Shiites on the other. The inclusion now of Hezbollah in this Syrian proxy war is quickly disintegrating into Sunni-Shiite sectarian conflict that could easily spread though out the middle east. Further there is no way one could guarantee that the weapons the US will be feeding the non al-Queda rebels will not end up in the arms of al-Queda.
The answer appears to be as simple as the Obama legacy. However the legacy may not be what Obama wants. President Obama's Foreign Policy Legacy (History will see) the overthrowing (or attempt) of the sovereign states of Egypt, Libya and now Syria and handing the coutries over the likes of the Muslim Brotherhood. As in Iraq, the removal of a strong man/ dictator has resulted in sectarian violence and civil war. While the Presidential rhetoric has always been the need for Democracy in these countries, the reality is the citizenry in these Arab states are simply ignorant when it comes to the responsibilities of a Democracy and the end result always turns to Islam and Sharia law. One has to wonder why the President of the United States, the Land of Liberty is so apologetic towards Eastern Islam (ie the Muslim Brotherhood), which is violently misogynist, vehemently anti-gay and anti-education and overtly anti-democratic; as the saying goes, an Arab democracy means 1 man, one vote, 1 time.
*Update; there is now a video showing what is described as the Syrian rebels launching a chemical weapon in the August chemical gas attack. Video shows rebels Launching Gas Attack. There has also been another credible investigation that Syrian al Qaede launched the gas attack Did the White House Help Plan the Syrian Chemical Attack?

Beware the Extreme Libertarian; the Joke that is MSNBC
What Joseph McCarthy and the House of Un-American Activities Committee is to Conservatives, the Southern Poverty Law Center is to Liberals. The SPLC played an important role in investigating the Klu Klux Klan, but as the white supremacist movement has slowed to a relative trickle in the US, the SPLC has stooped to declaring and any and all patriotic organization as racists, including the Family Research Center, Tea Party, Oath Keepers, Libertarians, returning veterans, gun owners and Ron Paul Supporters.
The SPLC has been criticized for using hyperbole and overstating the prevalence of hate groups to raise large amounts of money. In a 2000 Harper's Magazine magazine article, Ken Silverstein said that Dees has kept the SPLC focused on fighting anti-minority groups like the KKK, whose membership has declined to just 2,000, instead of on issues like homelessness, mostly because of the former issue makes for more lucrative fundraising. The article also claimed that the SPLC "spends twice as much on fund-raising--$5.76 million last year--as it does on legal services for victims of civil rights abuses." Harper's also pointed out that more than 95% of hate crimes are committed by lone wolves without any connection to militia groups the SPLC speaks . In other words, if the SPLC doesn't find a hate group under every rock, it will start to loose funding. wikipedia
The SPLS has also become a darling of the left, using the tactic embraced by liberals of attacking a group that has a political view different from theirs by declaring they are racists (always without any proof what so ever). There has never been any validity to any of these claims as most of the conservatives groups mentioned (and many more than exist in the US) have never been associated with violence of any kind and have bee self policing to remove any fringe elements. As a matter of fact, it is the liberal groups that have latched onto violence and intimidation to try and extinguish any dissenting voices. The SPLS has joined the left claiming any group the opposes a against a strong central government and the destruction of privacy rights, or advocates for nation sovereignty or the individual rights articulated in the US Constitution as terrorists and racists and is decidedly anti-Christian.
Imagine if you will a Saturday Night Live parody of MSNBC, were Southern Poverty Law Center’s Mark Potok is interviewed by MSNBC in an attempt to somehow prove the their initial claims that the Boston Marathon bombings was the result of right wing extremists; in this case Extreme Libertarian group (an imaginary extremist group manufactured by the SPLC). When it turned out that Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were actually extreme Islamic terrorists associated with the ultra violent Chechnya rebels. But not to be deterred MSNBC and the SPLC laughably uses the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon to somehow connect the Tsarnaev's with their Extreme Libertarian group (the SPLC created this imaginary group as they pondered a race war in the US where a violent out growth of the Tea Party links up with al Queda at the Mexican border and reeks havoc; one visualizes a bunch of overweight senior citizens in colonial costumes setting off red, white and blue suicide bombs and yelling "Git-r-done!". So, in amongst the jihad/terrorists/anti-Semitic they found Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a “fan” conspiracy theorists of Alex Jones and somehow theorized Jones as simultaneously extreme right wing, extreme libertarian and racists.The real comedy here is this was no parody. Mark Potok then interjects his revisionist history (a very common tactic of the left) trying to blame the current patriot movement and Tea Party on the election of our first black President so they can label them racists. This completely ignores the patriot movement that intensified under the Clinton administration that was primarily a reaction to the Federal Assault Weapons ban; this Janet Reno/Federal attack on the 2nd Amendment resulted in the atrocities at Waco, Ruby Ridge and the Oklahoma City bombing. You also have the the beginnings of the Tea Party protesting federal spending deficits and tax increases in the 1990's and by 2001 Tea Party tax protestors were sending tea bags to their representatives on April 15. It is generally accepted that rather than a reaction to a black president, it was the bailouts of banks by the Bush and Obama administrations that triggered the Tea Party's rise in 2008, with the overriding issue of Washington tuning out the voices of the common citizen.
MSNBC Parodies Itself
Perhaps the summer lull is to blame for Now’s decision to broadcast a segment about racial animus motivating the American right in for umpteenth time. Perhaps it is a psychological compulsion. No matter. To summarize the predictable segment below, Potok alleged that the Tsarnaevs were motivated to their bloody act of terrorism by Jones’ unhinged rants. This led the panel to decry the rise of racism in America which has followed the political ascension of President Barack Obama.
So there you have it. There is a reason why many have decried the SPLC as a hate group itself The Southern Poverty Law Center Law Center is a Hate Group
It has gone beyond it's stated purpose " a nonprofit civil rights organization dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry, and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of society", and has now declared itself the morale compass of America, who's sole purpose seems to demonize the US Bill of Rights and any organization that believes in patriotism, asserts their freedoms derived from the US Constitution/Bill of Rights and or opposes their worldview that the populace needs to relinquish all individual rights and national sovereignty in the name of forced equality and social justice.

Deconstructing the Trayvon Martin Murder Trial and Aftermath Part 2; the Blogosphere
Update #1 I
submitted a much condensed letter of this piece to the Santa Cruz
Sentinel, which they published. Here is the letter and the blog exchange
that followed.
Mitch Alsip · Top Commenter · Santa Cruz, California
Roy McAlister · Top Commenter · Luthier at Self Employedgeepierces, "We have no IDEA what transpired prior to the alleged events" We know there is zero evidence to support your theory that Zimmerman did anything illegal to provoke assault & battery. All evidence and witness accounts indicate neither of these guys broke any laws...until Trayvon committed battery on George. Tell me what non-physical, legal act justifies that level of assault?
Brad Goodwin · Top Commenter · Santa Cruz, California
geepierces, to say we have no idea what happened is wrong. First we know for a fact that prior to this incident Zimmerman reported numerous suspicious suspects and called the police on them. We also know that during all those reportings, he never contacted or harassed any of them. Zimmerman's defense presented the narrative I presented and called witnesses to show what evidence there was was consistent with Zimmerman's statements after the fact. The prosecution tried to poke holes in the narrative and failed and Zimmerman was acquitted. It makes no sense to suggest another narrative simply because this one is not politically correct and has also not withstood scrutiny in a court of law. In other words, this is the only narrative we have that has withstood scrutiny to use to determine if there was a violation of the law; regardless it is also this narrative the race baiting media and Al Sharpton's claim is the result of racism.
"So in your book, whoever brings a gun to a fist fight wins." "You are being absurdly simplistic to make such a blanket statement."
Zimmerman had right to self-defense
In
a letter to the editor, Liz Camarie proclaimed the lesson learned from
Trayvon Martin's death is no one should be allowed to carry guns?
Really? The next tactic of the anti-gun zealots appears to be an attack on
the right of self-defense; Peter Klotz implied that self-defense is
always racially biased murder and can never be justified. There is a
saying that "God created man; Sam Colt made them equal." But the Liz
Camaries and Peter Klotzes of the world would prefer the weak fall
victim to the brutish. Zimmerman shot Martin because Martin was on top
of him, banging his head against the sidewalk. While the prosecution
tried to minimize the injuries, one or two more slams of Zimmerman's
head against the concrete could have resulted in his death; by shooting
Martin, Zimmerman probably saved his own life, but apparently to some,
there are lives more valuable than others. Brad Goodwin, Live Oak

Brad - So in your book, whoever brings a gun to a fist fight wins.
Brad Goodwin · Top Commenter · Santa Cruz, California
You
are being absurdly simplistic to make such a blanket statement.The
issue was Zimmerman did nothing to provoke Martin other than follow him
and call the police. Zimmerman had followed numerous other suspicious
suspects of different races yet none resulted in a violent altercation
until Martin decided to jump the "crazy ass cracker." At some point when
you're being beaten down you have the right to protect yourself.
Zimmerman was on his back with Martin on top of him so he could not run
away. Martin was slamming Zimmerman's head against the cement; I've had
this done to me and it invokes a certain level of panic; in criminal
case slamming someones head against the cement is a felony and
considered "Assault with a Deadly Weapon". Every incident needs to be
taken on it's own merits; certainly people are beaten to death all the
time. When an assault raises to the level of a felony and life
threatening, the victim has the right to deadly force to protect
himself; even if the victim is a White Hispanic and the aggressor is a
17 year old black teenager.

Goodwin - I wasn't there, were you? How can you say, "Zimmerman did
nothing to provoke Martin other than to follow him and call the police" ?
We have no IDEA what transpired prior to the alleged events.

Several days later the Sentential printed a response letter
NRA's stamp on gun that killed Trayvon Martin
A
190-pound man with a gun tackles and kills a 140-pound kid with candy
he just bought at the store. All of America is a witness to this crime
and can do nothing. Because the kid was black the KKK will laugh until
their hearts are content. The kid holding that sign in the newspaper
saying "Am I next?" knows what's going on. The NRA has their stamp on
that gun.
Clay Collins, Soquel
"You and the media also seems to have missed that in early 2011 Zimmerman participated in a citizen forum at the Sanford City Hall, to protest the beating of a black homeless man by the son of a white Sanford police officer. During the meeting, Zimmerman called the behavior of officers on duty "disgusting" and detailed officers napping while on duty and refusing to take on difficult assignments."
Again you have the liberal left exaggerating and fabricating reality.
First Trayvon Martin was not an 12 year old kid coming back from the
candy store (the Skittles and Coke notwithstanding), we has a 17 year old,
almost a man who liked to wear wife beater T shirts, flip off his
computer cam, smoke marijuana and party with his girlfriend. These are
certainly no reason to demonize or kill Martin, but it does show his
level of sophistication. Further as mentioned, Zimmerman's height/weight
was 507/ 185 lbs; Martins was 6'/ 160lbs. You and the media also seems
to have missed that in early 2011 Zimmerman participated in a citizen
forum at the Sanford City Hall, to protest the beating of a black
homeless man by the son of a white Sanford police officer. During the
meeting, Zimmerman called the behavior of officers on duty "disgusting" and
detailed officers napping while on duty and refusing to take on
difficult assignments.Wikipedia. There is also the fact that the KKK
was a southern Democrat organization that appeared during reformation;
this of course was after a bloody civil war fought almost exclusively
because the Democrats were against freeing their slaves. There were also Jim Crow laws and voter intimidation that Southern Democrats so often compare to requiring ID to vote, but were also the result of Southern Democrats racism and southern segregation. And lets not forget the 3/5ths rule that forced the North to count Southern slaves as if they were voting free men. What America
has been witness to is Democrat demonization, race baiting and
fabrication of the facts to create racial distrust and polarization. The poor kid holding the sign will be just one
more victim of the likes of Al Sharpton and liberal Democrats that feed
and are empowered by spreading the lie of the hopelessness black
victimism and black separatism. Are their racial crimes in America? Of course, but just like
the boy who cried wolf, if the Al Sharptons and liberal Democrats
interject race into every multi-race incident, the real civil rights
crimes become buried under a pile of non-related incidents were
information has been fabricated, participants demonized, and races
separated. Good job Mr Collins, good job

Matt Blechar · Top Commenter
Clay
Collins, nothing like throwing out the race card when racism doesn't
exist in Martins case. The main fact about this case was that Trayvon
was beating Zimmermans head against the concrete endangering his life,
Zimmerman acted to save his life with a gun which he had every right to
BY LAW. Can we expose and really look at Trayvon for who he was at the
time? He was a criminal thug, that used drugs, got kicked out of his
parents house, got kicked out of his High School because he got caught
with stolen jewelry HE STOLE. Wake up, he wasn't this innocent KID you
and all the other race baiters claim he was.
Will Sharp · Top Commenter
Matt
you know only one side of the story because the other person is dead.
But only an idiot (or a foxpublican) would think that if the kid had
shot zimmerman that he wouldn't have been arrested. And we know that
zimmerman decided to get out of his vehicle and confront Trayvon against
what he was told by dispatch. Bottom line zimmerman got away with
murder because their was a lack of evidence according to the jurors who
have spoken out.
And of course since your source is conservative media your unaware that your boy zimmerman was charged with at least 3 assault cases prior to him killing an unarmed 17 y/o.
One of the assault charges was "resisting a police officer with violence". Now what do you think is worse a 16 y/o who got busted with a small amount of pot or an adult with 3 charges of assault? Here's my source for you and other nra dumb@$$es

Will
Sharp - At least get the facts straight from your own source. 3
charges are not '3 cases'. And there weren't even three charges. There
were two (from the same incident) which were dropped. In the other
case, there were no charges, only mutual restraining orders. Then you
ignore Martin's priors (dropped, or never brought.)
In the end, both acted stupidly, but only Martin acted criminally, and it was his bad luck that the guy he assaulted was armed.

Brad Goodwin · Top Commenter · Santa Cruz, California
Will
Sharp, again you misstating Zimmerman's crimes. #1 he was never
arrested or charged with domestic violence; the two simply filed mutual
restraining orders and there absolutely nothing that would indicate he
committed a crime, since any evidence of Domestic Violence requires a
mandatory arrest. #2 the two so-called felony charges and your three
cases, were all the result of one incident and one push, where an
underage and intoxicated Zimmerman, of a police officer; one push and
the charges were later dropped. As you have also said only one person
really knows what happened, yet you are content with fabricate your own
scenarios to match your world view. Given the fact, which was entered
into evidence and not contested by the prosecution, that Zimmerman had
called on and followed numerous suspicious persons, yet never harassed
or confronted any of them. Zimmerman said he exited his car because he
has lost sight of Zimmerman and wanted to see where he went, not to
confront him. While this may seem a self serving statement, it is
consistent with his past behavior. Your whole attitude is typical
liberal fabrication of facts and demonization of anyone or anything that
runs counter to their separatist and polarizing world view.

Deconstructing the Trayvon Martin Murder Trial and Aftermath
Having been a police officer and detective for some 26 years, I have seen many criminal trials. Most criminal trials, including homicide trials, developed around the Prosecution presenting a narrative as to what occurred and the evidence that backs up their narrative; the Defense then tries to poke holes in the narrative to create reasonable doubt. The strength of the Prosecution's narrative usually determines whether the suspect is found guilty or innocent. In the Trayvon Martin case these roles were reversed which shows the weakness of the Prosecution's case. The Defense had a defensible narrative backed by evidence that George Zimmerman, as a neighborhood watch captain, saw a suspicious person (Trayvon Martin), in his gated community and called the police. The police told Zimmerman not to engage the suspect and they would send a patrol car. Zimmerman followed Martin and at some point lost sight of him. Martin than then came up behind Zimmerman, overpowered him and took him to the ground, where he proceeded to pound his head on the sidewalk. Zimmerman, who was legally carrying a concealed firearm than shot Martin one time and Martin died of his wounds. Now, before I continue, I should say this narrative is in dispute by some. There are many who believe that in any altercation between a black and white , the white is always the instigator. Therefore you have a contingent that believe that Zimmerman stalked and attacked Martin, and when Martin got the best of him, Zimmerman shot him. Probably the most compelling argument against this is Zimmerman's past behavior. Zimmerman was well known to the police because he had made numerous calls regarding suspicious people in his neighborhood and not once in all those incidents did Zimmerman ever even contacted one of these people he was calling on. With absolutely no evidence to the contrary, the idea of this counter narrative being a defensible narrative it is nothing more than wishful thinking.
The Prosecution must now take a defense posture and try and poke holes in the Defenses narrative; this reversal almost never leads to guilty verdict, which is why most cases of this kind never go to court. The tactics include, minimizing injuries, overstating differences in statements, minimizing the strength of the evidence and a great deal of conjecture and demonization of the defendant and witnesses. These are all things juries hate the most about trials, especially when it comes from the Prosecution as they are usually held to a higher standard. Examples of this were the injuries to Zimmerman that included a broken nose and two lacerations on the back of his head; to the prosecution this was a bump on the nose and a couple of scraps. The Prosecution called the Medical Examiner from Jacksonville, Valerie Rao solely as a witness to minimize Zimmerman's injuries. Rao said Zimmerman's head didn't reflect that his head was being slammed with great force into a sidewalk as he claims and her contention was that Zimmerman's injuries were insignificant to show the Prosecution's contention that Zimmerman's life was not in danger. The problem with this is first, Rao never examined Zimmerman but simply looked at photos and the photos of his injuries. The so called "bump" on Zimmerman's nose showed a somewhat disfiguring injury; his nose flattened against his face. Further there is not necessarily a correlation between the surface injury of a head wound and a resulting concussion. Concussions often do not result in cranial bruising or bleeding, which can be seen in an MRI. Usually doctors have to rely solely on the symptoms articulated by the patient. Further, if a person's head is banged against concrete, any resulting lacerations are a result of the skin being parted between the victim's skull and the sidewalk; it would be malpractice for any doctor to declare a person with similar injuries to Zimmerman, as being insignificant and not worth a thorough examination to determine of the person has a concussion. Below is the common photo showing Zimmerman's injures on top and the more graph photot that was rarely shown on the bottom.
Next you have the prosecutions 3 different versions of the incident by Zimmerman; by all accounts they were simply minor variations. One variation that was touted by the Prosecution was Zimmerman first said that Martin jumped out of some bushes before we was attacked. Later Zimmerman said he wasn't sure if Martin actually jumped out of the bushes, he just assumed so because Martin seemed to come out of nowhere; an absurdly similar statement. There is also a question during the fight, when Zimmerman was on the ground and Martin on top of him, whether Zimmerman pulled both Martins hands off his mouth or one when Zimmerman said Martin tried to grab his pistol. Another was a question about Martin's hand position at the time of the shooting and some other minor differences that Zimmerman told a friend. All of these can easily be chalked up to a person trying to recall an incident that will probably the most stressful and horrifying incident in his life.
So, why would the Florida State Attorney file charges against Zimmerman, , if the above is even mostly correct. Well, even a low information voter would surmise, if they didn't know already, that Trayvon Martin was black and George Zimmerman is not. But from the very beginning racial bias that was ruled out. The Sanford Florida lead investigator in the case, Det. Chris Serino, said he thought Zimmerman profiled Trayvon because of his attire and the circumstances — but not his race. The FBI investigated the case and reported that after interviewing nearly three dozen people in the George Zimmerman murder case, they found no evidence that racial bias was a motivating factor in the shooting of Trayvon Martin. If nothing else, it is a fact that Zimmerman had called the police on numerous suspicious subjects in his neighborhood of all races for years and never had a violent encounter for years. Even when Zimmerman called the police on Martin, it took a coaxing from the 911 operator even to get his race.
Black race victimism is they way civil rights activist like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson make their living. Their interjection into any incident is designed solely to drive a wedge between races and try to retard any progress in race relations.They latched onto this case as a way to increase their stature and forward their twisted message of racial inequality and victimism through continued race baiting; i.e. "The only reason Martin is dead is because we was profiled and shot by a white man because he was black"; ignoring the actions by Martin that led to his death. Again this is absurd as Zimmerman had reported many suspicious persons, many of them black before and the only one that resulted in any altercation at all was the incident with Martin. The simple reason was Martin was the only person that had ever decided to physically take on Zimmerman for following him. Martin's reasoning was explained by his girlfriend Rachel Jeantel. Even though her testimony was carefully coached by the prosecution and some of which contradicted the evidence, she quoted Martin as saying on the telephone he was being followed by a “creepy ass cracker”. Jeantel is so immersed in her lower class black culture of drug use and partying that she didn't even realize that “creepy ass cracker” is a pejorative. Just like the "N" word in the South, "cracker" becomes a non-pejorative only through common usage and immersion in a isolated subculture. The end result was obvious, the fact that is was Martin attacking the “creepy ass cracker” who was following him not only placed the blame for the incident on Martin, but it showed if there was any racial bias going on, it was with Trayvon Martin acting on it, not Zimmerman.
With the acquittal of Zimmerman, Al Sharpton and the other race-baiters have turned their attention to a federal civil rights trail for Zimmermann. Even though there is simply no basis for such a trial, is is probably a 50/50 proposition that one may occur. First you have the Attorney General, Eric Holder and his infamous speech in 2008 when he said, "Though race-related issues continue to occupy a significant portion of our political discussion and though there remain many unresolved racial issues in this nation, we average Americans simply do not talk enough with each other about race..", in other words average Americans tend to ignore racial inequality. we also have the President personalizing the incident by saying "Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago"; one wonders if that means a 17 year old Barrack Obama would have beat down a "creepy ass cracker" because he was following him. So the chances of a federal trail based solely on the racial bias of Holder and President Obama is likely.
I would also be remiss by not commenting on the media that has been part and parcel of the race baiting, trying to drum up protests from the black community at large; the media even invented a new racial identity for Zimmerman, calling him a White/Hispanic. First the media as a whole continued to use photos of Martin taken when was 13-14 and not the 17 year old want-to-be as his later photos and facebook entries showed before they were expunged.
You also have NBC "News" doctoring Zimmerman's call to the police making it appear that Zimmerman was racially biased; as mentioned earlier the police dispatcher had to prompt Zimmerman to describe Martin's race. In totality you have the media at large trying desperately to create the allusion of a racial incident. The media continues this allusion by slanted coverage of the Al Sharpton organized "Justice for Trayvon" protest rallies by not reporting the protests are only drawing a few hundred protestors in large cities and only couple of dozen protestors in smaller cities. Further there is also a disconnect between many of the protest rallies and even President Obama, regarding the Stand Your Ground laws in Florida and elsewhere. The fact is the Zimmerman defense never claimed immunity from the Stand Your Ground law, but it has become a rallying point nonetheless and I would not be surprised if Al Sharpton is perpetuating this ignorance to use it as a protest issue that is more provocative than the nuance of a self defense motive.
Finally there are the civil rights activists that are calling for large and nationwide protesters to pressure the Federal Department of Justice to file a federal civil rights case against for Zimmerman. The tactic seems to completely ignore the rule of law that is supposed to protect individuals against the tyranny of the majority, or the loudest group; or the tyranny of criminal trials based on populist pressure or politically expedient rational. In other words those believing the their protests will force a federal trial are hoping the very laws that protect civil liberties will be violated in this case.

Update
In a strange turn of events Zimmerman came across a traffic accident where he assisted extracting a family from a rolled over SUV and put out a fire with his own fire extinguisher. Zimmerman Saves Family of Four in Florida Car Crash; the end result of being saved by Zimmerman is the family is in fear for their safety from the left ling wackos that will not allow any information to go unchallenged and demonized if it runs counter to their race polarization narrative.

Islam; a Religion of Misogamy and Fascism
The elephant in the room with Eastern Islam and Sharia law is the misogamy that purveys the society; where else in the world does a female rape victim have to first overcome the presumption that the rape was her fault; where rape is a form of punishment carried out by holy clerics? Or women caught unaccompanied in public are either considered a prostitute and raped on the spot or detained by the police and subjected to an inspection to show they are still a virgin? There is also the existence of honor killings, where the man of the house is free to kill the women of the house if one (or more) dishonors him by not bowing to any of his demands. Those that pretend to talk for the Muslim world say this is a radical form of Islam and practiced by only a small minority of Muslims. The reality is something quite different; in all middle eastern countries were Islam is pervasive, Sharia it is law of the land. Even if a Muslim is not a member of a "radical" Islam they are afraid to speak out against it. It is also well known that the Muslim Brotherhood gives one message of acceptance to the western world, but tells the Eastern Islamic world of the need destroy the West and replace it with Sharia law. The end result of this is the increase of Sharia law and the rise misogamy in Western Islam.
In the United States our constitution guarantees freedom of religion and in some cases the rule of law is relaxed to accommodate religious practices. But nowhere should a religious standard of laws (Sharia) ever replace the protections of our Constitution. The United States should not use it's position in the world to physically intervene in the workings or overthrow the leadership another sovereign nation. But that does not mean we can not voice our displeasure with these archaic laws and withhold financial support until women's rights are strictly enforced and government sponsored misogamy is no longer tolerated.The fact President Obama continues to court and excuse this horrid treatment of women by Muslim countries is a travesty of human rights.

Mom! Where Is My Democracy?
It should have been no surprise that the new Islamic regime in Egypt
would crumble. More than any country in the world the Egyptian people
are intent on a Democracy (over 1/4 of the adult population went to the
streets to demand the ouster of Morsi) but unfortunately they don't
understand how to set one up. For a Democracy to work the people must
have individual rights protected by an unimpeachable constitution that
limits the power of the government. What occurred in Egypt with the
Muslim Brotherhood, was more like a fascists plebiscite as they have in
Venezuela; where the people vote to re-confirm or replace their
dictator. The Egyptian people are very religious (nearly 90% are Islamic
Sunni) and while they favor Sharia law, they must have a rule of law
that supercedes their religious beliefs. Further, the Egyptian people have rationalized pervasive misogamy using Sharia law such that hundreds of women are being raped and/or beaten simply for participating in the Tahrir Square Demonstrations (and as mentioned before women who complain must first prove it wasn't their own doing). Oliver Ellisworth one of our Founding fathers said " The primary objects of government are peace, order, and prosperity of
society. To the promotion of these objects, good morals are essential. Institutions for the promotion of good morals are therefore objects of legislative provision and support." Until the Egyptian people mature to the point that they no longer fear women and the power they hold over men they will never have the
Democracy they crave.

President Obama's Foreign Policy Legacy in Pictures; Egyptians Protest Obama!
I recently wrote how Obama's foreign policy legacy is to undermine current governments and inserting terrorists government President Obama's Foreign Policy Legacy . In the current insurrection in Egypt were the Egyptian people by the millions, are protesting the Muslim Brotherhood fascist Islamic government (almost by definition any Islamic government based on Sharia law is misogynistic fascists). Here is another story the main stream media will not show, and that is the Egyptian people are laying the blame square on the Obama administration for backing the Mohammed Morsi regime; the media will report the fall of the Morsi regime, but not the hatred the Egyptian people have for Obama.
The photos below say it all. 15 Photos From Tahrir Square Protests
What is really questionable is if President Obama really understands what a Democracy is; it is certainly more than 1 vote, 1 person, 1 time. A Democracy is one person one vote and usually coupled with the rule of law; however if a government, whether voted in or not, ignores the will of the people, it is the peoples responsibility to take the country back. ...to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. The US Declaration of Independence..Yet President Obama speaks as if 12 million people taking to the streets, that largest public demonstration ever recorded, were simply a small band of Morsi protestors. "The goal of any political process should be a government that respects the rights of all people, majority and minority; that institutionalizes the checks and balances upon which democracy depends; and that places the interests of the people above party or faction," he (President Obama) added, noting that those protesting Morsi's government must be heard. So, the Egyptian military is operating according to the will of the people, beyond the control of the Muslim Brotherhood, NATO and President Obama and that's the real problem. It is a sobering thought that both Hitler and Mussolini were democratically voted into office. If you are President Obama had the people taken their country back before the aristocracies they caused it would have been a crime against democracy rather than the crimes against humanity that followed.
