A Flight of Moxy...To the Left

The trial of George Zimmerman for the murder of Trayvon Martin is over, but the angst is not. A jury of six women found Zimmerman "Not Guilty" of...everything. The debate about Zimmerman's guilt and whether he got away with murder rages on and probably will for some time, but the issue is not confined to just this one situation. For those who cheer Zimmerman's actions, he is a hero who did what any law-abiding citizen would have done if confronted by a black thug. To this faction, Trayvon Martin was in a place he did not belong for no valid reason, and that alone made him suspicious. These people have a larger issue: back men/boys are inherently criminal and must be treated as such. For this group, George Zimmerman did nothing wrong when he followed Martin around the neighborhood, got out of his car (against the advice of the 911 Operator), handled a loaded gun, confronted Martin, and shot and killed him. In their minds, Martin could and should have been the one to a...

Okay so I have taken a 2 year hiatus, but apparently "crazy" never takes a day off! The world of politics stills spins and, generally, those holding on for dear life are dizzy. I'd rather not do a review..so I will just go from here! Welcome back...let's fly!

Is anyone truly surprised Donald Trump, the great panderer, has not only chosen to jump on the "Birther" train, but is at the helm? It seems right up his alley to add nothing substantia ­l to any given conversati ­on. In a recent interview, he said he would not use his catchphras ­e, "You're fired!" in the election because he doesn't want to "cheapen" the process. I would dare to say his entire "campaign" cheapens the process. President Obama has shown his birth certificat ­e, but those who want any "reason" to de-ligitim ­ize him will hold on to this canard far after he has left the Oval Office. To my mind, this speaks more to the insanity of those who espouse this "theory" than it does to anything nefarious they claim he is doing. I was weary when pundits called this a "post-raci ­al" or "post-part ­isan" Presidency ­, and the past almost four years has justified that weari...

Milton Friedman, I will admit is a new name to me. I have heard of him before but I was not familiar with his views. A friend of mine sent me a few links to some interviews of his. In an interview regarding government regulation, Mr. Friedman makes some very good points on how the issue. I have always ascribed to the notion, a part of the government's job is to ensure big business were good corporate neighbors. Over the years, that seems to have taken a back seat to the government being funded by and acting on behalf of the corporations to the detriment of the people. Nothing speaks to this more than the Citizens United ruling by the Supreme Court in which business is seen as having the right to vote! While I am not a Libertarian, I am open to listening to the views, and this clip makes a great deal of since to me. I believe I have shied away from Libertarianism primarily because I believe there are some things government should have a hand in. Take a look at this interview and se...

A Glenn Beck Channel? The slogan will be, "All Crazy, All the Time!" This guy used to anger me, but I think I am at the point where I just feel sorry for him. Is there not anyone in his life that will tell him he needs help? It seems to me he is definitely suffering from some sort of mental illness, and the thing that makes it worse is there are people who listen to him! He is not alone in his crazy. There has to come a point where someone says to him he has to understand the end is not near and the people listening to him are not the smartest people in the world. But alas, no one will tell him that, because he is a money maker. It's sort of like those little dancing monkeys on a leash. Everyone knows the monkey is not being treated very well, but his little dance is too cute to give up! Shame. Read the Article at HuffingtonPost

Hasn't this "horse" been beat the death already? We are nearly into the next election, the man has been POTUS for almost 4 years. Those who are questionin ­g whether is a legitimate citizen must not trust the government to they claim to support to see the mans birth certificat ­e? Also, he showed his BC. And no one remembers his? This is a foolish waste of time and energy. Trump is not going to be POTUS. He knows it. Everyone knows it. He is one of the biggest recipients of corporate welfare there is.He has filed bankruptcy several times. How does that make him a good businessma ­n? If he were to become POTUS, he would definitely cheapen the office! He'd probably turn it into a reality show. SMH Read the Article at HuffingtonPost

"The Senate has passed a measure that would make it a felony for a doctor to perform an abortion sought based on the sex or race of the fetus, despite ongoing debate over whether such a thing is occurring in Arizona." --OMG how did that Asian embryo get in there! I mean really? Do they really have that much free time? Arizona is steadily diving off the deep end. When will men realize they cannot legislate the womb? They talk about "big government ­." What is bigger than telling a woman what she can do with her body? Perhaps there should also be a "mass murder" law when men masturbate ­? Or maybe a "genocide" law when the get a vasectomy? Sounds stupid huh? Exactly! Read the Article at HuffingtonPost
