New Orleans Saints tight end Benjamin Watson, whose Facebook post on the Ferguson riots went viral last week, appeared on CNN to discuss his feelings about the rioting and the Michael Brown shooting.

You can say what you want about Bill O’Reilly, but he is not afraid to use the blessed name of Jesus on FOX News.

Agreed. We need more people like him, and less of the grandstanding, race-baiting, self-proclaimed “leaders” like Sharpton, Jackson, and the man @1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
