[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 714684, member: 789"] This incident is horrible on a family and community level. Maybe, just maybe we can grab the silver lining out of this dark cloud? Fundamentally we need to acknowledge what our country has done here. We enslaved people. The world was a different place but it was still very wrong. We made slavery illegal but just changed the game where people were no longer slaves, but the rules were damn near as bad. We evolved and then had “separate but equal”. Well not quite, it was separate but very unequal. We evolved and made that illegal. However, we just found other ways to change the game. Some well intentioned people decided we’d monitor outcomes and if there was a disparity we’d provide an outcome instead. Other ways were found to circumvent that. The direction we’re heading is positive but make no mistake barriers exist. You have to ask yourself why do they exist and why can we do to eliminate barriers? Freedom and God given rights bestowed upon us by our Constitution my fellow Americans. When people choose one person over another because of a government mandate, we’ll never have freedom. When people make free market based choices, the person selected is the best for the job we will have freedom. We must establish the conditions for freedom to flourish. Equal application of the laws, educate our people, provide safe communities, opportunities to succeed, etc. Reduce the size of government so winners and losers are not selected by politically connected powerful elites and let freedom ring at the local level. We know what to do with the vigilantes and the moron wearing the hood. The first group need jail/death penalty and the second one needs public scorn to deter that type of behavior as as repugnant as it is it’s Constitutionally protected exercise of his rights. Americans will make good choices if we can get government and sleazy politicians out of the way. It will be a long and hard road full of challenges to shake this pox off our nation. We won’t do it being led by the imbeciles in power or their media friends on both sides of the aisle. Time to take our country back and stop letting these SOBs sow discontent among us for their own personal gain. It has gone on too long. [/QUOTE]
