Nash, Its been a discussion for years.. I think we all can admit the "opportunity" to bring this issue back to the national forefront is now. Before we all get back comfortable again and be in denial about our race issues.
What flag a state flies has nothing to do with the national forefront...it's the business of those in THAT state.

Sure wouldn't want to misrepresent...lol.
From the article:
"Hopefully nobody goes to that film. We need to boycott that film, from my perspective, because it’s miseducation, it’s misrepresentation, it’s highly offensive to the people that actually were living during that time and also to people today," Dolezal can be heard saying on a recording of the interview.

A few years ago when I was in detectives we were called out to a brutal murder. A guy broke into a home and then raped and murdered a young woman. In the terms of the street, he “lawyered up” and demanded his right to remain silent. So he sat there while we booked him and completed some of the paperwork. He was complaining of being hungry so my partner and I, without telling him, went and got him a Quarter Pounder with cheese meal deal. After he ate it and after he finished, he started crying. He started saying how nice we were to him after what he was accused of. He then recanted his request to remain silent. We had to record him saying that it was he that re-initiated conversation because once a person invokes a right, the police cannot even ask him again to reconsider. After a guy says that he wants to remain silent or a lawyer we cannot go back in an hour later and ask if he has changed his mind. Once invoked, the right stands unless “he” changes his mind without prompting. So he then made a voluntary statement of the entire murder or basically a full confession. What if we had social media 20 years ago or 24 hour media that is running out of stories and the headlines screamed, "LOCAL OFFICERS BUY BRUTAL KILLER A HAMBURGER". Would the family be mad that we treated this killer nicely in our custody after he very brutally killed a relative? Maybe. Looking at the results, would they be mad that without any abuse or violating any person’s rights that we were able to get a full confession? It is easy for those on the outside of an investigation to point fingers when in reality they have absolutely no knowledge is what is being done or why. Just like the ongoing investigation of the two escapees in NY, I am sure the woman co-conspirator is cooperating and not because the cops are being mean and abusive toward her. The old saying goes that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar and sometimes that applies to very serious police investigations. It is like taking a confession from a child molester (what I did for two years) and telling him/her that you understand where he/she is coming from. So while it is easy to yell, “OH MY GOD the police bought this despicable person a hamburger!!!”… is it because they felt sorry for him or were simply trying to solve a despicable crime with that honey?
My partner and I were able to help solve a fairly heinous crime doing just what you accuse these officers of not being very bright for doing.
Good post...that's the first thing I thought of when I read it...these officers were trying to keep him cooperative.
I doubt very seriously that they were in the least concerned that he was a little hungry.

Hold on a minute Tee. The left hijacked the Democratic party years ago and none of them now represent anybody that works for a living. Not that the Republicans look out for us either...
If the Republicans are best benifitting from the illegals, why does Obama want to grant them amnesty so badly? I know the answer , but it blows holes in your theory.
Agree...and to Tee's point, are we to believe that no Democrats are involved in big business?

One of the biggest problems with you so called conservatives is that you think christian and conservative go together. Christianity is based on how a person lives his or her life, no room for hate in christianity.
Christianity is based on Christ...how a Christian lives their life is how closely they choose to follow Christ's perfect example.
None of us get it right and we all fall short.

Speaking of playing to the low information voter...and why not, sadly, it works.
From the article:
MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, who claimed the authors of ObamaCare took advantage of what he called the "stupidity of the American voter," played a much bigger role in the law's drafting than previously acknowledged, according to a published report.

Who do Christians hate?

And now we have obamacare.

I'm asking has unemployment and the national debt went up during a Republican term.
That varies because you can get overlap where one can claim he inherited a bad economy and vice versa.
Pure Republican policy if implemented would beat pure Democrat policy if implemented hands down...on the fed level we always get a mixture.
You can compare cities and states that have had Democratic policies for years against the same with Republican policies and you get a pretty good contrast.
When I say Rep and Dem I should say big gov higher taxes vs smaller gov lower taxes because you have some Republicans that should be Democrats, depending on which state they are in.

Has it never gone up with a Republican president.
If you are talking about taxes...yes it has...and it always will as long as we keep ballooning the fed gov...Republicans can't lower taxes without cutting spending.
Our problem is many of the folks that pay no taxes AND receive gov assistance are unaffected by a tax hike...and they vote.
No Republican that talks of cutting entitlements will get their vote.
Only problem is eventually, this path will become unsustainable and we will wind up like Greece, as stevenash pointed out earlier.

wow!! What a clever way to ignore the current major events happenings. Ignore your own reality.
Who is ignoring the current major events?
Some folks just don't like to see their President lie about something for his own political agenda.

Oops...can't believe the media wasn't all over this

They been voting dem for 50 years but republicans had the white house majority of them years and yes they're still poor.
So why is anyone perennially poor...is it really the fault of a political party?
And if it is, who would it be...the party that wants to increase big business and create more jobs with lower taxes...
or the party that wants to continue to spoon feed entitlements paid for with higher taxes while creating roadblocks for business growth.

The SC law allows life in prison and the death penalty. Does federal law allow more or even up to the same thing? Does the federal law of demand a minimum sentence that is more than South Carolina? Can it be that the state jury which is picked from the exact same people as a federal jury, would give more to the federal prosecutor than to the district attorney?
This is nothing but a political ploy in order to look like somebody is doing sonething. Apparently some people fall for it. I guess that's why it's done and why is politics.
We have a perfect example that we can look back on and it is local. Did the federal government prosecute the three man that killed James Byrd or did they let Texas just handle the case and give out their death penalty? They did not need to spend several months and a huge chunk of money to prove what everybody else knew.
Some folks think the fed gov needs to be involved in everything.

Anyone doing anything to get him out of office?
Waiting on 2016...all we can do.

So sad in church of all places. Someone he shot could of been praying for him.
I'm sure they were...very sad.
-
Personally, if someone killed a member of my family, I wouldn't care if they hated them or not. The crime should dictate the penalty, not an emotion.
-
It amazes me how you people overlook the possible racial tones to this crime.
No way it's being overlooked...this was a maniac that acted on his racist hatred and he will pay for it.
Sadly, all these families have to deal with what he did.
But this is in no way any reflection on anyone other than him.
-
I guess it's a good idea to carry in Church now.

Again, I agree.....I liked Rick Perry.....He may have made a critical mistake last election and never recover.
I'm all about less government.....I guess I'm just wore down from seeing 90% of this thread criticizing Obama for 7 years....I was all in first and 4th year, but there comes a time to move on.....
This is all my opinion and I honestly don't disagree with anything you have said. I'm just ready for the next phase of politics....
So am I...I just hope the next phase is not named Hillary.

I have no problem with one candidate pointing out their opponents policies that they disagree with…many folks wouldn’t even know about them if they didn’t.
It has become a battle of who can do more for folks at the federal level when in reality, there should be very few things someone should expect from the fed gov…important, but very few.
Rick Perry said at one time he would like to make the fed gov as inconsequential in our everyday lives as possible…and I agree with that philosophy 100%.
Sadly, many don’t .

Nope...not a bit.

And why would he call the Constitution a "charter of negative liberties"?
Hmmm...no answer from the left on this one.
Oh well, baddog answered it.
