All Lives Matter 25,000 Person March Not Worthy of News

Many of us have heard about the black lives matter march in Minnesota that took place over the weekend.  The hateful chants, "pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon" of the 325 protesters has played over and over on national news broadcasts. Is the  hateful and disgusting message a call to action?  Whether it's the intent  of the group or not, some seem to be taking it as such.  In a shameful display the protest took place following the murder of a Houston Deputy who was simply filling his car with gas.

So what about the 25.000 person march in Birmingham, Alabama that took place the very same day?  Did you hear about that?   The peaceful marchers held signs that read "All Lives Matter", "Unity", "Love One Another",  God is the Answer",  "Justice" with a picture of Abraham Lincoln and "Courage" with a picture of Frederick Douglass.  Alveda King was heard singing "Jesus Loves the Little Children" along with other marchers.   Why isn't that news?   All Lives Matter  stands against evil and respects all people. That's the message we should be promoting. 

Why was the media silent on this march?  Say what you will but this was a news story and most of the media did not cover it.  Especially in light of the cold blooded killing of Houston Deputy Darren Goforth, this march mattered.  The majority of people are loving, kind, decent and respectful.   It's part of the story and the media should show it. 



The Birmingham march was organized by conservative Glenn Beck.  Bishop Jim Lowe, pastor  Guiding Light Church in Birmingham, co-organized the event.  Estimates placed the crowd between 20,000 and 30,000.  No arrests were made at this march.

Chattanooga Lt Cmdr Being Charged with Firearm Violations. Common Sense Takes a Holiday.



Lt Cmdr White from the Chattanooga Reserve Service Center where four Marines and one Sailor were gunned down, will be brought up on charges by the Navy for using his personal firearm to defend himself and other military personnel while they were being sprayed with bullets.

There are many, many issues today that should rally the American people to action and this is one of them. When our military is made the bad guy when they are under attack by radical Islamic terrorist, on our own soil, and their most basic human right of self defense is prohibited, you have to ask yourself why. It makes no logical sense. What is the agenda here?  There is an expectation that somehow common sense will factor in the investigation but apparently that was not the case.

The rule of law in this nation is selectively applied at best, if not deliberately manipulated to fulfill an agenda. The decision to charge Lt Cmdr White is completely devoid of any form of common sense. Rather it should cause the Navy to question why they are leaving their personnel vulnerable and pursue changes to make them safer.  Lt. Cmdr White discharged his firearm on federal property in violation for Navy regulations and federal law.  That's a fact.  It's also a fact that he fired his weapon at someone who was in the process of murdering many people as possible.  This is the Navy's chance to stand up and do the right thing. It's time for common sense to prevail.
