I didn’t say we all were in lock-step but we generally did consider ourselves “fellow” Americans.

Read your history.

I share your concerns but Obama has already had his “Reichstag Fire” moment for gun control with Sandy Hook & he failed miserably.

Maybe the miserable cowards in Congress aka the Republican majority will stiffen their spines and say no once again.

As a white gun owning South Carolinian I mourn for the murdered churchgoers in Charleston. But now I am angry at the gungrabbers once more dancing in the blood of the victims.

No just fighting idiocy. It's a lot harder than I thought.

ISIS is watching the national division going on over here and thinking how easy it would be to keep this fire stoked and weaken us. How easy it would be for them to groom homegrown terrorists to commit these heinous acts to spread fear and hate further. This political gambit by the Left is encouraging violence and these cracks in our national unity will only serve to invite terrorist attacks on our country.

Well then Obama’s plan is coming togther rather nicely. Its almost as if the shooter was a plant by the Govt.

Well to begin with, "idiocy" was the wrong word to use, it was a very poor choice on my part, and I do apologize for using it. I beg your pardon.

But I don't want to end the conversation because I'm trying to understand your point. Abraham Lincoln said a house divided against itself cannot stand. You obviously don't think this country can survive being half of one thing and half of another. What specifically is the division that you speak of, and since you believe Obama is the cause of it then what do you expect President Walker to do to bring it back together?

I agree. The term “hate crime,” to me, is an oxymoron. PC speech. All crimes are hate crimes as far as I’m concerned.

Perhaps I’m naive and uninformed. But, can somebody explain in detail why the FBI and the Justice Dept are involved in what is essentially a local crime?

[Seems to me the FBI and Just-us Dept could get a much larger bang for the buck by bringing their authority to bear in the “multiple shootings per day” Chicago is experiencing.]

The comments above in square brackets are sarcasm.

Hate crime. South Carolina has no hate crime laws on the books so any hate crime charges are federal ones.

There is no sector of this country - social, business, science, education, national security, etc that this president hasn't taken a wreaking ball to - taken the country to the point that we are today (worried, angry, broke, unemployed, rioting). Obama nurtured and praised grievance groups, and gave them permission and a pass to act out.

I'm not speaking of North and South, black or white, I'm talking about American vs anti-American (and of course there are sub groups but mostly it's LIBERAL vs conservative - and I believe that most people lean conservative, which is why the administration has been doing everything that it can to agitate, divide and put names to it: gender, color, class, nationality, sexual orientation and then pointing to the Republican party and saying, "they hate you" vote for Democrats, 'cause it's the only way they can win).

If the Democrats can get people at each others' throats, they can take action and power.

And if you haven't seen what Walker's been doing, and who hates and fears him, I suggest you begin checking it out. I've posted enough information about him. It's a long cv.

I've tried to educate and inform. It's up to you to look at it.

Get him arraigned tonight. Set trial date for 30 days hence. Put him on trial. The case is obviously capital. 30 days after guilty verdict, impose punishment.

Swift justice is non existent. Time to bring it to the forefront. Six years later, Hasan lives. An obscenity.

They’re going to milk this for all it’s worth - every which way they can.
