I hear people talkin' bad
About the way we have to live here in this country
Harpin' on the wars we fight
An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be

An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides
An' standin' up for things they believe in
When they're runnin' down my country, man
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me
Runnin' down the way of life
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep

If you don't love it, leave it
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'
You're runnin' down my country, man
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

I read about some squirrelly guy
Who claims, he just don't believe in fightin'
An' I wonder just how long
The rest of us can count on bein' free

They love our milk an' honey
But they preach about some other way of livin'
When they're runnin' down my country, hoss
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me
Runnin' down the way of life
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep

If you don't love it, leave it
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'
But you're runnin' down my country, man
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me
Runnin' down the way of life
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep

Yeah if you don't love it, leave it
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'
And you're runnin' down my country, man
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

It’s Salon, ‘Nuff said.

"More than a year after George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin Trayvon Martin attempted to murder George Zimmerman but was prevented by the 2nd amendment.."

Corrected.

[Sherman Logan]

The Tampa Bay Times found ”’that people who killed a black person walked free 73 percent of the time, while those who killed a white person went free 59 percent of the time.”

Note this says nothing about white killers vs. black killers.

Could the disparity be because the black people killed were more likely to be the aggressors in a case of self-defense?

[huldah1776]

Good song.

Dare I read the comments at the source, if they have any. And really didn’t expect to see any report of the rights of the unborn humans being non-existant.

[Sherman Logan]

More than 75 percent of the murder victims in cases ending with executions were white, even though nationally only 50 percent of murder victims are generally white, according to deathpenaltyinfo.org. Think Progress reports that, of the 30 executions performed in 2013, the majority of victims were white.

Since the large majority of murders are in-race, this means that of the killers of whites were also themselves white.

The solution being, of course, to execute more black people.

Zimmerman walked up to Trayvon Martin on Feb. 16, 2012 while the boy was walking to his father’s home in Sanford, Fla. The two got into a scuffle and it ended with Martin taking a fatal bullet to the chest.

That version is so sanitized Mr. Clean would be impressed...

[Popman]

Someone needs to ask Terrell Jermaine Starr if America has such a horrible civil rights record why is the entire world beating down our doors to get in...

I guess "beating down our doors" really is hyperbole, since you can basically walk right in...and join the FSA...

[morphing libertarian]

The St. Trayvon incident is indicative of the best of human rights afforded to US citizens. The right to self defense and the right to bear arms.

The article left that out.

[Red in Blue PA]

Trayvon WAS armed.....he used concrete as his weapon.

[Focault's Pendulum]

I really don’t care about the color of the author’s skin. He’s a POS.

#4 is about the most racist thing I’ve ever heard.

The author is claiming that blacks are too stupid and clueless to know how to get an ID.

Man, I hate racism like this author promotes.

[Zeppo]

I can safely say without fear of contradiction that Terrell Jermaine Starr has never been convincingly accused of being a smart person.

1. Michael Dunn and George Zimmerman Found Not Guilty Of Killing Unarmed Teenagers

He forgot at least one rather obvious human rights violation:

0. Orenthal James Simpson Found Not Guilty Of Killing Unarmed Adults

Oh teh noes - gotta call the United Nations about that one, too.

Oops, my bad. Wrong type of victims, no harm, no foul, nobody's human rights were violated there.
