Leftist Atlanteans and Atlantis believers, believe in the flood. I don't. They're also cranks. Do you believe in Atlantis being destroyed by a flood Kenny? Do you believe Atlantis existed and was highly advanced? You might be a crank.

Related Columns MAURER: Zimmerman verdict is an affirmation of our system of justice Zimmerman acquittal a slap in the face for African-Americans WASHINGTON, July 15, 2013 ? On February 26, 2012, George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, saw Trayvon Martin. Minutes later Martin was dead and Zimmerman would see his life transformed by opportunistic politicians and the racial grievance industry, both of which found him to be an irresistible target. Every story needs a villain and a saint. SEE RELATED: Zimmerman acquittal a slap in the face for African-Americans The left is spinning this as a narrative of American racism. Vital to that narrative is the image of Martin as an innocent boy, almost a child. The media did its part by never showing photos of the 6’2”, 17-year old with gold capped teeth that he was when he died, but only as a slim, 12-year old. The real Trayvon Martin is lost in the hagiography. He was no longer an innocent child. He chose his path, and had that fatal encounter not taken place, it was leading him into the criminal justice system. Martin should have been arrested twice. If he had been, it might have changed his path. He was suspended twice from Miami Dade schools because he had burglary tools and possession of a dozen pieces of women’s jewelry. Text messages recovered from Martin’s phone show photos of guns and Martin using drugs. More disturbing are Martin’s text messages where he describes himself as a “gangsta,” talks about fighting, talks about buying and using drugs and asks a friend if he will share a .380. semi automatic pistol. SEE RELATED: MAURER: Zimmerman verdict is an affirmation of our system of justice The Conservative Tree House did an amazing job of investigating the case in a way the mainstream media would not. They discovered in the last hour of his life, Martin tried to buy a “blunt.” A blunt is a small cigar, which is hollowed out then filled with marijuana. He also bought the iconic Skittles and Arizona Watermelon iced tea. Those were not because he was hungry or thirsty or even getting them for someone else. Those two products are key ingredients in an urban drug drink called “Lean Purple.” When these embarrassing facts about Martin were released, the left went into overdrive to hide them and simply drop them down the memory hole. Benjamin Crump, the family attorney, called the texts and photos, “irrelevant.” They were not irrelevant for the trial (even though the jury did not see them) and they are definitely not irrelevant for the battle for the narrative that is now being fought. President Obama, operating on the theory that a crisis should never be allowed to go to waste, called for further gun control in memory of Trayvon Martin. Obama did not comment about the other young black men like Trayvon Martin who had been killed in Chicago where the Second Amendment is all but repealed. The left continues to push the narrative that America is a racist nation, George Zimmerman was a crazed, racist wannabe cop and Trayvon Martin was an innocent child. None of that is true. Trayvon Martin was a product of American liberal social policies. A single mother raised him. His school was more concerned about appeasing the civil rights hucksters than whether Martin was educated and taught basic responsibilities. The story of Martin’s life is not irrelevant. It is the major cause of what happened that night he encountered Zimmerman. The left has tried to demonize Zimmerman and has tried to canonize St. Trayvon. The truth is that Martin was a 17-year-old wannabe thug who was the architect of his own demise. That is the story that should be told. Perhaps if that story and the truth about Martin were told, it might prevent the next Trayvon Martin.

BOOM! Waffle House patron defends restaurant, shoots armed robber
Posted by The Right Scoop on July 29th, 2013 in Politics | 15 Comments

Now this is how it’s supposed to work. This Waffle House patron is a hero:

FOX ATLANTA – A customer at a Waffle House turned the tables on an armed robber trying to hold up the restaurant on Jonesboro Road in Union City.

According to the Union City Police Department, police officers were called to the Waffle House in the 4300 block of Jonesboro Road just before 2 a.m. Monday. They were responding to a report of a robbery and person shot.

Officers were told that a black male walked into the Waffle House with a gun in hand and demanded money. At some point, a customer took action by shooting the robbery suspect.

The suspect was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he is being treated. There were no details regarding the nature or severity of the suspect’s injury, or the suspect’s identity.

Police have not released any information about the suspect who shot the suspect.

No other patrons were hurt during the attempted robbery.

Obama Insults Congresswoman’s Wounded Vietnam Veteran Husband July 26, 2013 0 Dexter Lehtinen and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen By JAVIER MANJARRES President Barack Obama’s recent statement that Communist leader Ho Chi Minh was “inspired” by the U.S. Declaration of Independence and Constitution, has insulted scores of Americans both living and deceased, especially Florida Republican Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, whose husband fought and was injured during the Vietnam War. Dexter Lehtinen received the Purple Heart for the severe facial injuries he suffered as a result of fighting the communist Ho Chi Minh-inspired North Vietnamese. Ros-Lehtinen says that the statement is “an insult to the service and sacrifice of all those who served in Vietnam.” “My husband Dexter is a Vietnam combat veteran who was severely injured in battle while fighting for the ideals of Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Madison and Washington. For the President of the United States, who has sworn to preserve, protect and defend their ideals that founded this nation, to equate Ho Chi Minh to Thomas Jefferson is an insult to the service and sacrifice of all of those who served in Vietnam. Saying that a butcher who slaughtered his opponents and butchered those who resisted his tyranny was inspired by the ideals that make this nation the freest and most democratic country in the world belittles our Founding Fathers and those shed blood to protect their vision.”- Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen - See more at: shark-tank.net Read more at: shark-tank.net
