Funny how Jesse, Al or Obama never comment on these incidents. They're certainly far more common than any white on black crime the mainstream media wants you to believe is running rampant.

It's all about race now

If it had been a white teenager who was shot, and a 28-year-old black guy who shot him, the black guy would have been arrested.
   
So assert those demanding the arrest of George Zimmerman, who shot and killed Trayvon Martin.
   
And they may be right.
   
Yet if Trayvon had been shot dead by a black neighborhood watch volunteer, Jesse Jackson would not have been in a pulpit in Sanford, Fla., howling that he had been "murdered and martyred."
   
Maxine Waters would not be screaming "hate crime."
   
Rep. Hank Johnson would not be raging that Trayvon had been "executed." And ex-Black Panther Bobby Rush would not have been wearing a hoodie in the well of the House.
   
Which tells you what this whipped-up hysteria is all about.
   
It is not about finding the truth about what happened that night in Sanford when Zimmerman followed Trayvon in his SUV, and the two wound up in a fight, with Trayvon dead.
   
It is about the exacerbation of and the exploitation of racial conflict.
   
And it is about an irreconcilable conflict of visions about what the real America is in the year 2012.
   
Zimmerman "profiled" Trayvon, we are told. And perhaps he did.
   
But why? What did George Zimmerman, self-styled protector of his gated community, see that night from the wheel of his SUV?
   
He saw a male. And males are 90 percent of prison inmates. He saw a stranger over 6 feet tall. And he saw a black man or youth with a hood over his head.
   
Why would this raise Zimmerman's antennae?
   
Perhaps because black males between 16 and 36, though only 2 to 3 percent of the population, are responsible for a third of all our crimes.
   
In some cities, 40 percent of all black males are in jail or prison, on probation or parole, or have criminal records. This is not a product of white racism but of prosecutions and convictions of criminal acts.
   
Had Zimmerman seen a black woman or older man in his neighborhood, he likely would never have tensed up or called in.
   
For all the abuse he has received, Geraldo Rivera had a point.
   
Whenever cable TV runs hidden-camera footage of a liquor or convenience store being held up and someone behind the counter being shot, the perp is often a black male wearing a hoodie.
   
Listening to the heated rhetoric coming from demonstrations around the country, from the Black Caucus and TV talkers -- about how America is a terrifying place for young black males to grow up in because of the constant danger from white vigilantes -- one wonders what country of the mind these people are living in.
   
The real America is a country where the black crime rate is seven times as high as the white rate. It is a country where white criminals choose black victims in 3 percent of their crimes, but black criminals choose white victims in 45 percent of their crimes.
   
Black journalists point to the racism manifest even in progressive cities, where cabs deliberately pass them by to pick up white folks down the block.
   
That this happens is undeniable. But, again, what is behind it?
  
As Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute has written, from January to June 2008 in New York City, 83 percent of all identified gun assailants were black and 15 percent were Hispanics.
   
Together, blacks and Hispanics accounted for 98 percent of gun assaults.
   
Translated: If a cabdriver is going to be mugged or murdered in New York City by a fare, 49 times out of 50 his assailant or killer will be black or Hispanic.
   
Fernando Mateo of the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers has told his drivers, "Profile your passengers" for your own protection. "The God's honest truth is that 99 percent of the people that are robbing, stealing, killing these guys are blacks and Hispanics."
  
Fernando Mateo is himself black and Hispanic.
   
To much of America's black leadership and its media auxiliaries, what happened in Sanford was, as Jesse put it, that an innocent kid was "shot down in cold blood by a vigilante."
   
Yet, from police reports, witness statements, and the father and friends of Zimmerman, another picture emerges.
   
Zimmerman followed Trayvon, confronted him, and was punched in the nose, knocked flat on his back and jumped on, getting his head pounded, when he pulled his gun and fired. That Trayvon's body was found face down, not face up, would tend to support this.
   
But, to Florida Congresswoman Federica Wilson, "this sweet young boy ... was hunted down like a dog, shot on the street, and his killer is still at large."
   
Some Sanford police believed Zimmerman; others did not.
   
But now that it is being investigated by a special prosecutor, the FBI, the Justice Department and a coming grand jury, what is the purpose of this venomous portrayal of George Zimmerman?
   
As yet convicted of no crime, he is being crucified in the arena of public opinion as a hate-crime monster and murderer.
   
Is this our idea of justice?
   
No. But if the purpose here is to turn this into a national black-white face-off, instead of a mutual search for truth and justice, it is succeeding marvelously well.

He was completely fearless in his disection of the far-left and their various schemes. Whether it be blowing the lid off of the Acorn scam or stating the obvious about some random commie loon, he tread where no one else would dare, and made them like it.

As much as Democrats detested Breitbart, I think their comrades in the media hated him even more. He shown a bright light on their liberal bias and unethical tactics on a regular and often amusing basis. To that point, the pimp outfit that James O'Keefe wore into Acorn is an all-time classic and had Breitbart's fingerprints all over it.

My favorite Breitbart moment was when he alone went into a large group of union goons who were protesting a Right Nation conference. He went from one to another and asked what they were protesting. Only one of the 10 or so people he asked could give him a straight answer. He made the rest look like impotent tools of the Left. In other words, morons.

Guys like Breitbart don't come along often and it's a shame for his family and all of us on the right that he left us so soon. Here's to carrying on his fight and sticking to the left with all we've got!

Now, on to the big election in Iowa and my thoughts on each candidate in the race:

Mitt Romney - He may not have the strongest conservative credentials of the bunch, but he's a solid debater, has great business experience and knows how to campaign. He's not my dream candidate, but I wouldn't hold my nose voting for him either. When compared to Obama, he'd be the Second Coming.

Ron Paul - I apologize to any Ron Paul fans, but this guy is a disaster waiting to happen. While I love some of his economic positions, his overall foreign policy is indefensible. Any GOP presidential candidate that is OK with Iran having a nuke, is not acceptable in my opinion. While the Obama  team would like to face Gingrich in general election, they would LOVE to face Paul.

Newt Gingrich - Best debater of the bunch. Big ideas - some good, some hokey - but he's always thinking. The problem Newt has is his electability and the ease with which the media and the Obama campaign (one in the same) could eviscerate him in the general election. He's also taken his share of questionable positions for someone who claims to be a true conservative, but I think he'd govern further right than some pundits believe.

Rick Santorum - Solid values conservative, but he lost his last election by 20 points. That scares me. He's charging hard in Iowa and may become the conservative alternative to Romney if he finshes in the top 3. My other concern is that he spent his political career in the House and Senate and has not run an organization. That being said, he's right on the issues.

Rick Perry - Horrendous debate performances crippled his campaign early, but he seems to be making a small comeback. I wouldn't be surprised if he performs better than expected in Iowa this week and that could vault him back into the mix. My concern about Perry is that if he won the nomination, he would be stripped bare in the debates with Obama. Afterall, he wasn't just bad in some of the Republican debates, he was awful.

Michele Bachmann - Full disclosure, I'm not a fan of Michele Bachmann. It has nothing to do with her policies, but her delivery and approach. It's like nails on a chalk board to me. I'd certainly vote for her if she were the nominee, but I don't think she could beat Obama head-to-head. I'm hoping she'll exit stage right after she finishes last in Iowa.

John Huntsman - Although he's not on the ballot in Iowa, I thought I'd comment anyway since he could have a reasonably strong showing in NH two days after Iowa. This guy received some of the worst political advice in memory. He came out positioning himself as a mushy moderate, but may actually have one of the most conservataive records of any of the candidates. The Wall Street Journal called his economic policy the most conservative of the bunch and I believe he is the only GOP candidate to fully back the Paul Ryan budget. He's taken a few positions I don't like, but generally speaking, he'd be a very acceptable nominee when compared to the alternative.

Final Analysis - I'd find any of these candidates acceptable (with the exception of Paul), but I believe that Romney is the best positioned candidate to beat Obama based on his attributes. He's not the perfect candidate based on my conseravtive principals, but I think he is the most electable at this time and that is my primary concern. We simply can't absorb four more years of Obama's socialist policies and we need to ensure that we nominate a candidate with the best possilble chance of beating him.

All of that said, where is Paul Ryan when we need him?

Long story short, after some behind the scenes investigation, we're finally back in business. I guess this episode makes me the Website Registration version of the Obama administration.

I hope to be posting more articles over the holidays. Merry Christmas to all!
