That old adage applies here. . . "there are two sides to

every story" . We don't always get the truth from the

media (there's really 3 sides - your side, my side, and

what really happened).

The liberal controlled media -- television, newspapers,

magazines, radio -- all continue to show 12 year old

Trayvon not 17 year-old Trayvon. They continue to show

the 5 year old picture because it helps to cement in

your mind the little, cute, Hoodie wearing youngster who

was stalked by a monster

In reality, "little Trayvon," at the time of his

death, stood almost 6' 2" tall; weighed 175 pounds; had

a muscular build; had numerous run ins with authorities

(both at school and local police); and had been stopped

and almost arrested two days before his death for

smacking a bus driver in the face because the driver

refused to let him ride for free. He was released

because the driver was told not to press charges by the

bus company and to continue on his route.

When "little Trayvon" was suspended from school not

because he tried to bring a little marijuana in with

him, but because he had possession of wedding rings and

other jewelry that he said he "found" (along with a

large screwdriver) while on the way to school that day.

Not a single paper printed recent photos of the teenager

because it would not keep your interest. Not a single

paper will admit that this teenager was a marijuana

dealer. His friends on Facebook said he had the "best

plants." Not a single paper showed him brandishing a

mouthful of gold teeth or all of his tattoos.

President Obama looked at the 5 year old photo the media

chose to show the Nation and said: "If I had a son...he

would look like Trayvon." Yup, no doubt.

That's why I'm marrying a girl who doesn't pay much attention at all to politics. She's the kind of girl who doesn't like listening to "talk" coming from the radio....doesn't care if it is the top-of-the-hour news, commercials, or just the DJ chatting it up for a few minutes between songs, she's reaching for the dial to change the station. It absolutely drives her nuts when I watch the news or listen to talk radio...

However, BECAUSE she is so ill-informed as to what is going on in the world, she'll tend to lean toward siding with the lefties based upon their knee-jerk reactions to things and kind media treatment the media gives them....but with some explanation of WHY the lefties are wrong, she usually comes around. In some cases, a person isn't a lefty because they agree with the left-wing agenda....they just don't know any better and choose to side with the left because the media makes it sound like the "popular" thing to do. When given the facts, though, they come around rather quickly.

I was pretty lucky with my Daughter. She is married and an elementary school teacher. She tries to be fair about everything but leans to the right like I do. My Son works for TSA in West Palm Beach,Florida. He did have liberal views but has now seen the light and agrees with me on most things. When he was in college he leaned towards liberal but has come around nicely to the right. A few years in big cities he understands what I was saying all these years. My Wife still tries to believe the liberal BS. but now sees and understands what I was preaching. There is no free ride. I never understood why she felt that way as her Father worked in the coal mines and she always worked for what she wanted. She went back to school to be a Registered Nurse after we were married close to 20 years now 35 years married. Good Luck to all. Joe D.

What's that they say again? If you're 20 and not a liberal, you have no heart...and if you're 40 and not conservative, you have no brain. Coal miners are typically union, and unions like to brainwash their members into believing their left wing trash. My grandpa was a teamster & towed the union line 'til the day he died. My other grandpa was a union carpenter and bought into the "democrats are for the working man" crap until my grandma sat him down and went through where the candidates stood issue by issue and grandpa realized that who the union was telling him to support did not line up with his own beliefs. From that day forward, he took the union's political endorsements with a grain of salt and looked at where they stood to make up his own mind.

My 7 year old Grandson was over the house one afternoon about a year or so ago, and he's singing a song about Pres. Obama; so I called him over an told him to sing it to me,.. so after the audition I asked who taught him this very nice song about our Pres.? He said 'Well Pa Pop the teacher taught us the song today in class'. Well the next day I called the school and and spoke to the top dog (first of all you had to hear the song to beleave it!) Well I told him that I thought the teacher was brainwashing the kids and that she had a very far left agenda!! So TD askes,'why is that?' so I said 'well tell his teacher that I would like her to teach the class the song about GW Bush so that when my Grandson comes over tomorrow he can sing it to me'................ I'm still waiting!!!...... When these kid's in schools today can't even say the Lord's Prayer in class, an yet others are allowed to go to a special prayer room twice a day to throw there blanket down and do there thing??..... Is it me or are we all going to hell in a hand bag ??

My grandmother was union and is hardcore left. Personally I don't give two shits about either side as they are all full of hot air and BS, you pick the lesser of two evils.

When you enter high school and college its a fight for your independence as you carve a life for yourself. So its easy to get caught up in all the feel good save the world socialist ideology BS. Then as you grow older you realize everyone is an ass hole and stop caring.

I went to catholic school so we didn't have a second language, we had religion. Then I went to a public high school (vocational, i took electrical installation) and was suddenly presented with spanish. The part that pissed me off is the damn spanish kids had no problem passing, it was complete bullshit. Long story short, i had to take it in summer school and thankfully the public summer school teachers didn't give a damn and just passed the class.

If you ask me they should just go back to teaching latin so everyone is equally screwed.

I have to admit I enjoy watching my kids struggle with their latin - everyone needs that adversity! Just don't ask me to learn it - don't do as I do, do as I say?
