Despite Requests, Obama Refuses To Light Up White House In Blue To Honor Slain Policemen
| Geoffrey Grider |
President Obama's top spokesman wouldn't say why the Obama administration is rejecting requests to illuminate the White House in blue to honor police officers gunned down in Dallas and now Baton Rouge, La.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Despite
repeated requests to light the White House in blue to honor the slain
policemen, Obama steadfastly refuses to honor those requests. He had no
problems at all, however, with agreeing to light the White House in
rainbow colors to celebrate legalized sodomy. He also agreed to light up
the White House in pink for Breast Cancer Awareness. But nothing to
honor the men and women in blue who keep us safe. Now you know how Obama
feels about cops.
"I don't suspect that that is something that we will do," press secretary Josh Earnest answered on Monday when asked if the administration will acquiesce to calls from police departments and others to do so.
White House Still Won't Light up House in Blue to Honor Fallen Police:
But when asked why not, Earnest had no ready answer, except to highlight all the other steps the White House has taken to support police.
"Obviously
the president did travel to Dallas" for last week's memorial service
for that city's five slain police officers there, Earnest said.
Earnest
pointed out that Obama met with the officers' families and other Dallas
police while he was in Texas. He also ordered all flags to be flown at
half-staff "to reflect the mourning that our nation had engaged in for
the police officers in Dallas."
Additionally,
Obama met with law enforcement twice at the White House last week,
including a four-hour meeting that brought law enforcement together with
community leaders and activists, Earnest said.
Sheriff David Clarke Disgusted with President Obama for Breathing Life into The Anti-cop Sentiment:
The
White House has been illuminated in other colors before to mark its
support for various causes. In 2013, for example, it was lit up in pink for breast cancer awareness, and in 2015, the White House was lit in the LGBT rainbow to show support for same-sex marriage.
Earnest insisted that the White House supports cops, despite this symbolic move.
"All
of this is an indication of just how strongly the president feels about
the need to show our strong support for our men and women in law
enforcement," Earnest said, including Obama's "strong" condemnation of
the ambush that left three Baton Rouge officers dead over the weekend.
"The
president dedicated a lot of time to this, both in substance and in
symbolism," Earnest said. "The president's strong support for American
law enforcement officers is crystal clear."
Obama
believes that the "vast majority" of the nation's police do "heroic
work" that is "worthy of our respect and our praise — and not our scorn.
The president feels quite strongly about that." source

We Must Stop Surrendering to Leftist Evil Such as Black Lives Matter
Posted by Lloyd Marcus
So
I got a phone call from my 88-year-old black dad asking if I am
familiar with “The View” TV show. I told dad the show is riddled with
liberal bias. Dad said the show featured a horrific incident in which a
young black male was unfairly shot by police. As best I could, I tried
to explain to dad how irresponsible it was for the TV show to feature a
rare “bad shoot” in the midst of cops being murdered nationwide.
Despicably, the TV show wanted to do its part to further Black Lives
Matter's evil lie that cops murder blacks at will.
I bombarded dad with facts and stats which prove that blacks are the greatest threat to
black lives, not racist white cops. When I hung up the phone, I felt
dad still leaned towards believing the lie promoted on “The View.” It is
frustrating, folks.
My
fellow Americans we cannot continue allowing the Left to pull the same
dirty trick on us to get their way. First, they launch a media blitz
promoting a false reality about one of their agenda items. Then, the
Left demands that we embrace their lie or suffer being branded divisive
and haters.
For
example: Liberal media, the White House and Democrat talking heads are
promoting Black Lives Matter's lie that cops are racist and routinely
murder blacks. Nothing could be further from the truth. Cops have saved tens of thousands of minority lives since the mid-1990s. Stats prove that 93% of blacks are killed by blacks. And yet, the Left is hell-bent on intimidating us into making the Black Lives Matter lie our reality.
I
find this particular Leftist tactic insidious and repulsive. The Left
tugs at heartstrings by saying that they only want “unity.” But here's
the dirty little secret. Unity to Leftist means they demand that decent
fair-minded Americans ignore truth, ignore common sense, abandon their
convictions and embrace the Left's latest anti-God and anti-American
evil agenda item.
Everyone
who dares speak truth and refuses to surrender to the Left's bullying
are targeted for total destruction; branded divisive and haters. Every
time we pander and surrender, we embolden a small group of liberal
activists to impose more of their iron-fist will on the majority of
Americans.
This has to stop folks. We must begin speaking the truth. Black Lives Matter is a well-funded vile hate-generating terrorist group. Their movement was founded on the lie that black criminal Michael Brown was shot with his hands up surrendering to a police officer. The truth is that Brown was shot while attacking the police officer, attempting to take his gun. These facts are public record, and yet are ignored by the Left. Black Lives Matter is pure evil, folks. Why in the world would we allow BLM to lord over us; sheepishly surrendering by making their evil lie our reality?
I
am black. It frustrates me hearing well-intentioned whites and duped
blacks falling for Black Lives Matter, Obama, Hollywood and the
mainstream media's lie about our brave men and women in blue.
Yes,
bad shootings do happen. I am sure there are bad cops. Jesus had 12
disciples and even one of them was a bad apple. Studies confirm that most cops are heroes, committed to protecting all lives.
I
am sick of it, folks. I am sick of Americans being bullied into
embracing things that they know are wrong; sick of the promotion of
blatant lies; sick of being told we must make absurd lies our reality;
sick of evil triumphing. It is time we take a stand. It is time we just
say, “No!”
A scene from the western movie Pale Rider comes
to mind. A group of humble miners asked the character played by Clint
Eastwood to lead them in battle against a powerful group of bad guys.
Eastwood told the miners that he would lead the charge, but some of them
would die. Freedom ain't free, folks.
Standing
up to the Left probably will not result in one's physical death.
However, it could cost you everything else. I pray that God gives me his
courage and strength to stand when I need it.
I am in the process of organizing/producing a Blue Lives Matter rally.
My goal is to spread the truth about our police and unify Americans. I
envision a black choir singing; blacks on stage sharing their positive
encounters with police. A woman I approached to be on my production team
said she loves the idea, but feared Black Lives Matter will be angry
and cause trouble; possibly violence.
This
is the intimidation that I am sick of. I told her we cannot allow evil
people to stop us from doing what we know is the right thing to do. I
assured her that we will invite lots of cops and hire security. After we
select the venue, date, and acquire sponsors for the rally, I will
promote it.
For years, I have been quoting statistics to my black relatives and associates which prove that most of the problems plaguing
black communities are self-induced. But when my relative's beloved
black president, democrats and mainstream media tells them all their
problems are the fault of racist America, they believe it. They simply
regard me as their weird Uncle Tom relative.
The Bible says be not weary in well doing. I must confess. I have been feeling weary, folks; very, very weary.
Sitting on the beach the other day, I read a book I acquired over 20 years ago. The book is Norman Vincent Peale's You Can If You Think You Can.
Dr.
Peale wrote: “When everything seems to be going wrong, that is the time
to practice the positive mental belief that you can still achieve your
objective provided you persist, trying everything. If you start thinking
it's hopeless, your state of mind will actually attract further trouble
to defeat you. Instead, hold the thought that conditions will shift in
your favor -- and get going.”
Dr.
Peale also said it is always too soon to give up. It is crucially
important that we stop pandering and surrendering to the Left's bullying
tactics. It only empowers them to beat up on us more. It is time that
we persist in our efforts to spread the truth in prayerful expectation
of changing the hearts and minds of our fellow Americans. Brothers and
sisters, let’s get going.
