John McCain praises Barack Obama’s “Trayvon” race speech, claims we need to reconsider ‘stand your ground’ laws

 Today John McCain’s lips were firmly attached to Barack Obama’s rear end when he went on record as agreeing with the president that America is still a racist country with a long road to haul before we right the wrongs of 150+ years ago.

  Barack Obama used his first public comments on the Zimmerman verdict to throw gasoline on the fire by legitimizing the escalating riots when he could have used that opportunity to call for unity and calm across the nation. And today John McCain praised him for it by calling the speech “very impressive” and stating America still had a long way to go in regards to race relations because “old prejudices die hard.”

  He claimed that America was too optimistic in believing the election of Barack Obama would solve America’s race problems, but he forgets that it was Barack Obama who purposely ran a reelection campaign designed to divide Americans by race, sex, class, and sexual orientation in the first place. Barack Obama could have unified the country but he chose to be a divider for political reasons and John McCain has fallen into his trap.

    As bad as this is it gets even worse because John McCain also agreed with Barack Obama when he stated that the Zimmerman case showed us that it was time to take another look at ‘stand your ground’ laws. What people like Eric Holder, Barack Obama, and John McCain purposely ignore is the fact that Florida’s ‘stand your ground’ law was not on trial and was never argued by Zimmerman’s defense, he claimed self-defense and he won on that issue alone. 

  When Kathleen Sebelius denied 10 Year Old Sarah Murnaghan the chance at a life saving operation she declared that someone had to live and someone had to die, and when you think about it that is the case here as well. Somebody was going to die that night–either the attacker or the attacked–so why is it that so many people would rather see a victim die rather than give that person the legal right to defend him or her self?

  The answer is obvious to me; the ruling class, elitist, establishment ruling class in Washington want a populous which is dependent on the government for not only their sustenance but also for their defense and they see a people who can provide for  and defend themselves as a threat to their power.

  So the next time you head to the polls and determine you are going to hold your nose and vote for the lesser of two evils please remember that the lesser of two evils is still evil. If you are not willing to admit this than you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
