"Martin O'Malley apologized on Saturday for saying 'All lives matter'"
What? It sounds like some weird parody or alternate universe.

I realize that the statists and race baiters have absolutely no concept of reason or logic, but this totally defies any kind of sense.

O'Malley's listeners clearly went beyond "Black lives matter!" to "White lives don't matter!" They lose their standing to criticize others for racism when they indulge in it themselves.

"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others". from Animal Farm, George Orwell

O'Malley just proved a Democrat will say or do ANYTHING to get votes.

This also proves that the left does not want or promotes any form of equality. They want some to be "more equal" than others.

This also proves the statist nature of the left, and the liberals and their total desire to control everyone and every thing.

Their idea of Liberty is being able to do with others and the product of others labor as they see fit.

This is the same as what Lincoln talked about in his address on Liberty and Tyranny.

The wolf cries the shepherd is a tyrant by preventing them from eating the sheep and call him a destroyer of their freedom while the sheep decry the shepherd as a liberator of their freedom.;

So who is the liberator and who is the destroyer of freedom?

Well, I guess not all lives matter.

That seems to be in keeping with the general trend of things over these last years, wouldn't you say?

Once Chamberlain had a speech memorized from Shakespeare and gave it proudly, the old man listening but not looking, and Chamberlain remembered it still: 'What a piece of work is man...in action how like an angel!' And the old man, grinning, had scratched his head and then said stiffly, 'Well, boy, if he's an angel, he's sure a murderin' angel.' And Chamberlain had gone on to school to make an oration on the subject: Man, the Killer Angel. And when the old man heard about it he was very proud, and Chamberlain felt very good remembering it. The old man was proud of his son, the colonel.”

The poor have voted Democrat for over 50 years and still remain poor. Why is that? Blacks also tend to vote Democrat, what has it done for them? I don't care what it is, nothing will change by trying to shove it down the throats of the people. How can you respect anyone that commits crimes at higher than overall average rates as a normal way of life? Why would not a black community have black police, at least in the same percentages as the community? Why do blacks destroy black business in their own community? Does the black or the poor community think Hillary will actually solve any of their problems? Does any community think Hillary will solve any problems, period? What has Hillary said about this, anything? Has anyone heard her answer any questions yet? Do we need to become socialist to see if we can destroy ourselves and end up like Greece? Will the USA remain free, or will we succumb to the lunacy of those that don't know anything about history?

This is the scariest time of my life. And even scarier than the days when I had to learn and practice "duck and cover" in grade school. I think that program was started to falsely help ease our fears. I wasn't even frightened, I think I believed that that desk over my head would save me from this nuclear blast, but I just don't even remember. Life could become unbearable if the people weren't "refreshed" every once in a while. I'm going to enjoy what I got left to the fullest. I put my life on the line, that was one of my major contributions, so now my life matters, at least to me. If you can't respect yourself how can you even care about others?

Someone this morning asked me if I was not "Green", because my lawn is green. I told them I worked hard all my life, saved some money, so I could always have a green lawn. I told them I enjoy being comfortable too, so the air conditioning in my house has been on. As long as it is provided and I pay for what I use I should be entitled to enjoy it. If the government really wants me to cut back, they can cause the prices to increase until I can no longer afford it, just like Obama promised. Hillary will most likely do the same, we'll just have to wait and see if she ever tells us. What does Scott Walker think about this? How about Trump, or Carson, or Rubio?

What is apparent to me is the similarity between such a demonstration and a child's temper tantrum. When a five year old can't get what he wants, no matter how irrational the request, on comes a tantrum, acting out by throwing himself about, yelling and crying. We can excuse the five year old because he has yet to learn better. The childish actions of these people demonstrating over such an irrational cause cannot be excused since, while they are acting like children they are (physically, at least) adults.

Taxpayers lives matter
Military lives matter
Cops lives matter.

Depends on your agenda whether all lives matter. To the HIllary Clintons, the only lives that matter are the ones that further her political agendas- that means people who will work and give to the state willingly, black people who can be exploited politically, illegal aliens who can be made into democratic voters, etc. Regular american entrepreneurs are too rebellious to be of use. And god forbid the people who rebelled against the UNION- the confederates- are still around. We should wipe out all references to them.
I would say that there ARE some people who I would rather NOT have around- and those are the real power hungry statists who just want to control people. I am not going to kill them, but I certainly wouldnt cry if they just disappeared. We could start with Obama, Hillary, Pelosi, Reid, and those senators from California. I am sure there could be a rather long list if one really thought about it. The best thing to do with those people is to let them live with their sympathizers, but in such a way they cant steal wealth from the people who actually create it.

I understand why people are upset. But, I think a lot of people aren't dealing in reality anymore. Doesn't bode well...

This shows just how moronic the modern day left is! Political Correctness on steroids whereis up is down, down is up and the Truth suffers!

This mantra about some lives being more valuable than others is part of a template designed by Antonio Gramsci and Saul Allinsky creating divisions based on race for destroying our democratic republic. It also has them laughing in their graves at the stupidity of people and the unbridled success and ease of implementation of their designs!

It also shows that race in this country has now become a total joke and a cottage industry with fools and three card monty con men (and women) firmly in control of the discourse.

Speaking a simple Truth that all lives matter elicits the incredibly DUMB response from these idiotic racialists presently influencing public opinion on bi-racial solutions to a growing plethora of man-made problems and conditions all created by Gramsci and Allinsky (also designed to destroy America from within- check it out!!).

Hopefully, intelligent people with integrity and inner strength will thwart these buffoons and racial arsonist legions. It will also be interesting to see if and when unenlightened progressives finally get it and discard the pyscho-babel rationale that has been the mainstay of their blind support for this garbage.

It is a sad fact that a politician (even of the supposed stature of the Clintons and O'Malley) can be "cowed" into having to apologize for speaking a simple "power to the Truth"!

Yes! All lives that matter and if you insist on taking it to the racial level it should be understood that it must be up to the black communities to treat the sickness that is creating the violence that is leaving so many of their young men dead! This is a simple Truth that when finally acknowledged by honest and caring people, will help unleash the power to cure this disaster growing to epic proportions.

Playing a Politically Correct card blaming this "manufactured" disaster on scapegoats such as the police solves absolutely nothing!

Proof positive that those negative reactions are caused by prescription use which causes a net loss of gray matter!

Why should we care what pandering remarks a politician makes or doesn't make? It is a fact that throughout the nation, that more blacks are accosted, abused, shot, and killed as a percentage of the total population--but it's not racism that causes this, it's police departments policies and law enforcements abuses as they respond to their rulers demands.

Blacks felt that with the election of Obama, that they were going to rise to prominence never before imagined, and it hasn't happened. Now as his 'rule' nears an end, they're panicking. Next year will be a very dangerous time in this country.

Anyone who apologizes for saying all lives matter is a gutless wonder. He let them define the terms and should have stood by his words. Let Hillary explain who does NOT matter, like conservatives, cops, unborn babies, old people.
Sorry, I just read an anti Rand editorial in the Sidney Daily New in Ohio, and am still ticked off. I have shot them a letter to editor response.

How pathetic. O'Malley had an outstanding opportunity to increase his stature in the eyes of all by standing firm on his statement and explaining why. But he caved and merely demonstrated how worthless he is.

Didn't fit in with the "mob rules".

I think that the protesters against the police brutality would have served their cause better if they said: "Black lives matter also!" The way they had it allowed for the interpretation that only black lives matter.

Public speaking in the era of instant distribution is hard to do well.

The professional-victim classes, but especially the blacks, are asserting a permanent God-given right always to be treated as "special" people.

I think we should give it to them, by declaring them all eligible for the Special Olympics. ;-D
