George Zimmerman Acquitted on All Charges!

[jordan179]

A great moment for American criminal justice today, as George Zimmerman was acquitted on all charges in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, despite the obvious attempt, orchestrated from the White House and US Justice Department, to convict Zimmerman as a political maneuver.  George Zimmerman walks free, now able to recoup the money he was forced

"despite the obvious attempt, orchestrated from the White House and US Justice Department, to convict Zimmerman"

That was inexcusable!
I hope George sues for millions!

Eric Holder has committed numerous acts of malfeasance and misfeasance -- and not merely in this case, but in others. I really hope that the Republicans do not extend him the forgiveness normal with a change of parties in office after the 2016 elections, and that Holder serves the decades in prison that he deserves for these actions, which in some cases (especially relating to Fast and Furious) have led to murders.

That really needs to be done.

Don’t be silly. There will be no change of parties.

Historically, it is difficult for one party to hold the Presidency for more than two to four terms. In just my lifetime we have seen JFK-LBJ (two terms Democrats), Nixon-Ford (two terms Republicans), Carter (one term Democrat), Reagan-Bush (three terms Republicans), Clinton (two terms Democrats) George W. Bush (two terms Republican) and Obama (two terms -- so far -- Democrat).

In the cases of Nixon, Reagan-Bush, Clinton and George W. Bush I remember people telling me that we were about to become a dictatorship. I don't see why I should assume that this happens to be true in Obama's case. I do see Obama as having stronger dictatorial tendencies than any of the above-mentioned, including Nixon, but I don't see him as having the capability, regardless of his intentions.

Latest numbers I’ve heard for 2014 show the Senate seat from Alaska as a tossup, and Utah leaning Democratic. If the Republican Party can’t hold Alaska and Utah, which are about the two reddest states in the Union, they haven’t got a snowball’s chance of retaking the White House.

Allow me to remind you, since your historical horizon seems to coincide with your own lifetime, of the five consecutive Democratic terms under FDR and Truman. At that time, the Republican Party recovered from what seemed like hopeless disarray and returned to power after a generation. This time, I don’t expect it to.

I'm not sure why you think that it's different this time. However, if the Democrats do manage to establish themselves as a permanent governing party through massive election fraud and violations of the US Constitution, then the next step -- possibly within this decade -- will be seditious conspiracies, coups, rebellions and civil wars. Reason being that, after a while, the Republicans will realize that the game is rigged against them to the point of nulling the Democratic President's claim to legitimacy.

Looking at the sheer list of MASSIVE crimes perpetrated by the Obama administration, and not the slightest hint of prosecution... Yeah, I think it's a very valid possibility that he will end up dictator for life.

[galadrion]

Any projections about how long that life is likely to be, in that event?

[ford_prefect42]

Well, they found him not guilty. That means people are still capable of being *other* than insanely stupid.
