Did Obama’s divisive racial Rhetoric over Travon Martin motivate the Aaron Alexis shooting?
SOL | 9/17/2013 | SOL of course

Posted on 09/16/2013 9:09:13 PM PDT by sickoflibs

It’s an obvious question. After George Zimmerman was acquitted Obama got on TV and gave a very racially divisive speech condemning the law, the legal system and America’s treatment of blacks.

He made it clear he believes that blacks are treated almost as bad as they were in the 1950s, in spite of his four years in charge making progress. And Dividing America into opposition groups against one another is how Obama won two elections.

And now this Navy Yard mass shooting

After all as liberals endlessly lecture us : ‘words mean things’ and 'they have consequences'.

After all they tell us that these acts of violence are always caused by others irresponsible words not the perpetrator.

And as Obama said, if he had a son he would have looked just like Gunman Aaron Alexis, or was it Travon Martin , same idea.

It seems like Obama needs to tone down his racially divisive rhetoric, to save lives. Military lives. Stop the hate Obama.

The racial makeup of the victims would be interesting information...

Interesting that you should post this question. Just read the Newbergh Address of General George Washington. He is quoted to have said, “And let me conjure you,” he concluded dramatically, “ in the name of our common Country—as you value your own sacred honor—as you respect the rights of humanity; and as you regard the Military and National character of America, to express your utmost horror and detestation of the Man who wishes, under any specious pretences, to overturn the liberties of our Country, and who wickedly attempts to open the flood Gates of Civil discord, and deluge our rising Empire in Blood.”

I’m studying the General and am quoting the quote from an article by William M. Fowler, Jr.

I’m sure that MSNBC has already named George Zimmerman as one of his accomplices.

"You know, when Aaron Alexis, was first shot, I said that this could have been my son. Another way of saying that is Aaron Alexis, could have been me 35 years ago. And when you think about why, in the African- American community at least, there's a lot of pain around what happened here, I think it's important to recognize that the African-American community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences and a history that -- that doesn't go away."

I don’t really like vanities, but I liked your post. The first thought that occurred to me today when I saw a picture of Aaron Alexis, was the one you had. Where is Obama claiming fatherhood of this poor, oppressed, misunderstood young man, Aaron Alexis?

I wonder what our “Black community leaders” will have to say about this heinous hate crime? Crickets, I bet....

My youngest son works in the Washington Navy Yard. I was just getting ready to leave for work when he called me. He said “dad, I am ok”. I said “good, what is going on?” He said, “turn on the news.”

Geez, what is the ratio of civilian contractors to military on our military bases these days, and why?
