Thousands gathered in Miami over the weekend to demand that
Charles Zimmerman be charged, arrested, tried, convicted and executed for the
"cold-blooded, ruthless killing" of Travyon Martin. Sunday's protest came a day after one of the
largest demonstrations yet in Sanford, the central Florida town where Martin
was killed.
COMMENTS:
The plain fact is that Charles Zimmerman is innocent in this
country until he is tried and convicted by a jury of his peers. This rush to judgment against him has been orchestrated
by the media, by the White House, and by those intent on fanning the flames of
racism in our country. Let the wheels of
justice have a chance to turn. Dear God,
have we lost all sanity in this nation?
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Rick Santorum says the Republican Party is in a panic. I think he’s right, except it’s the
Republican leaders who are in a
panic. We grass roots Republicans know
what we want and it’s not Romney. What
do you think? (Salvatore ~ Newport
Beach, CA)
A. You hit the nail on the head. The Republican leadership is bound and
determined to make Romney the nominee and they are getting frustrated and
exasperated that 55% to 65% of us are unhappy with him.
Rather than face the fact that Romney is an unpopular candidate, rather
than looking for positive solutions that will work for everyone, they are
poised to cram Romney down our throats whether we like it or not and, frankly,
I’m not going to contribute one damned dime to them.
Q. What was the story about Romney getting into hot water
with Santorum about firing people?
(Mercedes ~ San Diego, CA)
A. Romney was making light about his father George who
closed an American Motors factory in Michigan and moving production to
Wisconsin. Santorum says this just shows
that Romney has no sense of what blue-collar workers go through in life and
what it means to lose your job. I agree,
and it’s probably due to the fact that Mitt was born with a silver spoon in his
mouth. There are not a whole lot of
people in this country that have the kind of money that Mitt has and that means
he has no real idea of who we are and what makes us tick. In that sense, he reminds me of the jerk who
is already in the White House.
Q. What do you think of the fact that the U.S. corporate tax
rate is now the highest in the world? (Kerry
~ Central Point, OR)
A. I’m less concerned about that fact than the truth that
some giant, prosperous corporations don’t pay a dime in taxes and some small,
struggling corporations pay a lot. I
believe that we have the most inequitable and complicated tax structure in the
world and we should change it. But, the system is corrupt; those who are
paying nothing are also dishing out huge campaign contributions in return for
favors in the tax laws.
