Congressional Black Caucus and Trayvon Martin

Black Caucus Seeks New Gun, Race Rules Post-Trayvon
Once again, Democrats are following the dictum, "Never let a crisis go to waste," in order to impose more unnecessary regulation on ordinary Americans.  As usual in any supposedly racial incident, the usual group of race-baiters in Congress, notably my own Congressman, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver III, is leading the charge, abetted by the nutjob Congresswoman from Houston, Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee.  I penned a nice letter to my Congressman this morning in the wake of this article.  I expect to see a form letter in lieu of an actual reply within a few days.  Here's what I had to say to Cleaver:

I see that in response to the shooting of Trayvon Martin in self-defense by the man he was attacking, the Congressional Black Caucus is doing the typical Democrat thing--pass unnecessary laws, unrelated to the actual incident, that would have made no difference if they had been in effect.  The facts are that George Zimmerman was being attacked by a 6'2" tall 170-pound football player--in other words, he was being attacked by someone almost exactly the same size as me, a 49-year old military veteran. Of course, Democrats typically believe it is much better that a victim die than for a potential victim to defend himself or herself.

In response to charges of racism, might I add that one of the most racist organizations in the country, by its very existence, is the Congressional Black Caucus.  Also, you could do a great service for race relations by telling the not-so-reverends Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to keep their mouths shut once in a while.  Without racism, they have no reason to exist, which is why they (and the CBC) have a vested interest in keeping racism alive and well for as long as possible.

Here's a quote from the article that exemplifies the Democrat mindset:

And [Rep.] Wilson, who represents the district where Martin lived, is working on legislation to create a national commission "to study race-based injustices, health disparities and economic disparities affecting African American men and boys," in the words of the congresswoman. 

Of course!  We need another commission!  We don't have nearly enough people sucking off the government teat, and certainly not enough agencies dealing with the subjects she mentions.  There are already departments in nearly every federal agency to "study" that type of thing.

I've been sending every dollar I can possibly spare to Jacob Turk's campaign.  Turk is running against Cleaver, and I hope he is successful this year.
