Obama incites

He did it in Ferguson, Missouri and now he is doing the same thing concerning the recent police shootings of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota.

Before law enforcement even had enough time to begin the investigation, Obama has already concluded the police are in the wrong and has voiced that opinion, as though it is fact, on national TV. His irresponsible discourse is possibly the one most important factor in the rising crime rates and anti-police sentiment around the country.

The turmoil that will follow will result in more death and destruction than a thousand Al Capones and a thousand Billy the Kids armed with assault rifles (high capacity magazines) in full auto can achieve. Then what follows? Martial law? A dictatorship?

Remember Obama’s campaign promise? To fundamentally change this country. He made that promise at the same time he ridiculed those who stick to their guns and Bible.
