Chants of “All Lives Matter!” filled the arena at the Republican National Convention Thursday — a not-so-subtle jab at the Black Lives Matter movement that calls attention to police violence against African-Americans.

Leading the chant was a pastor from South Carolina — Mark Burns, who is black. He said Donald Trump won’t “pander” to one race. […]

Did anybody hear Brian Williams on MSNBC say the Reverend “needed a shower”? Imagine if Hannity said that about Sharpton.

Liberals judge people on inherent traits, such as the color of your skin and your genitalia.

Conservatives judge people based on the insane philosophies they may hold (liberalism, Islam) or for breaking the law (illegals).

If you have certain traits, your life will NEVER matter to a liberal. Everyone’s life has the potential to matter to a conservative.

I think that should be a rallying cry. Do you want a president who believes all lives matter or just black lives?

Well Allah forbid anyone counter a movement that riots, loots, calls for killing cops, and has gotten several of them killed.

Black lives matter is a hate group and a terrorist organization.

Pastor Mark Burns was quite good. I sincerely enjoyed his speech.

I would visit his church if it wasn’t over 3000 miles from my house. Well, I would sit near the door... I’m white. ;>)
