Skip to comments.Obama to Congress: Knock it Offon Budget Brinkmanship [Little Man Turns to Arrogance]
Posted on 09/30/2013 5:56:05 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper
Obama told Republicans Friday that its a fools errand for them to use the threat of a government shutdown to gut his signature healthcare law, decrying what he called political grandstanding that is hurting the American economy.
With Republicans seeing both the looming expiration of government funding and the need to increase the countrys borrowing limit as pressure points to extract political concessions on the healthcare law, the president said bluntly: I said that yesterday and Im gonna repeat it: thats not gonna happen.
A lot of what is taking place right now is political grandstanding, Obama told reporters at the White House, but the grandstanding has real affects on real people. It would throw a wrench in the gears of the economy, just as those gears are beginning to get traction, he said.
The president also said that raising the debt ceiling is essential for maintaining American economic growth and global reputation.
Raising the debt ceiling is simply authorizing the Treasury to pay for what congress has already authorized, he said. I will not negotiate over Congress responsibility to pay the bills that have already been racked up.
Voting for the Treasury to pay Americas bills is not a concession to me, he said. Nobody gets to threaten the full faith and credit of the U.S. just to extract political concessions.
Knock it off, pass a budget, and move on.

You knock it off.
America's credit was downgraded for the first time under Obamugabe.
He's a really tough man to the weenies in the GOP, but he's afraid of the battle-ax back at the White House.
Reminds me of Godfather
Why do we continue to put up with this b@stard?
"Hey guys, Come on! Quit it! Stop doing that! Ouch!"
What a little whining baby boy.
A fool... like an imposter world leader that gets rebuffed trying to appease Americas mortal enemy.
The Purple Lipped Prince is playing to his adoring fans in the MSM, who already have their copy written, fingers poised over the send button.

Obama has found it very easy to advance his narrow ideological agenda of failure-prone Marxism.
4 years after Obama conned his Democrats into passing the Federal takeover of the cash cow of Medical Insurance, the PC, Doormat Republicans are finally timidly suggesting defunding that Federal takeover.
Without the weak, PC, Doormat Republicans Boehner and McConnell being stupidly kept in their respective leadership positions by truly cowardly House and Senate Members, Obama Medical Insurance Care Takeover would have been defunded long ago.
The primal yearning of the 47 % who pay no personal Federal Income tax is to belong to a tribe where all of their choices are dictated to them by their arrogant tribal leader.
This a common trait of those who have low self-esteem.
In that sense, Obamanation is truly a cult: low self-esteem people believing everything their cult leader tells them, no questions asked.
Freedom is defined in the dictionary as follows:
1.) Exemption or liberation from slavery or imprisonment.
3.) Liberty of choice or action.
Most of the 47 % riding in the free wagon seek out slavery, and lack of personal choice.
They thus feel safe, and secure in the knowledge that "this is as bad as it is going to get."
Liberty is defined in the dictionary as follows:
1.) The state of being exempt from the domination of others or from restricting circumstances; freedom.
5.) The power of voluntary choice: freedom from necessity.
6.) Individual Liberty: Freedom from restraint in the performance of rights outside of government control.
Most people who are getting a free ride in the wagon where 47 % pay no personal Federal Income Taxes, are terrified of making a voluntary choice.
The 47 % would prefer that they be under government control where the choices are made for him.
All of this societal wussiness has made it very easy for B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, to advance his narrow ideological agenda of European-style, failure-prone, Marxism in spite of PC, Doormat Republican token opposition.
BTW, unlike taxes, Federal Obama care Insurance charges can be increased EVERY YEAR to whatever % the present and future arrogant leaders of Obamanation wants.
BTW, BTW, the free-loading 47 % will always vote for the Candidate for POTUS approved by Obamanation.
The question to be asked is: If it is in the Nations best interest to shut down the Government, then why are there only TWO Federal Politicians, Obama and Reid, loudly advocating shutting down the US Federal Government?
Obama has MANY reasons to shutdown the Federal Government such as:
1.) A headline grabbing story that will distract attention from the Impeachable scandals of:
Benghazi Massacre Dereliction of Duty by Obama as CIC;
Obamacare Insurance managed by the corrupt IRS;
IRS harassment of political opponents of Obama;
Use of the NSA by Obama to spy on everybody in the USA;
etc, etc.
2.) The use of fear of a shutdown might help to protect defunding and eventual abolishment of Obamas narrowly focused ideological agenda of an European-style, failure-prone, Marxist, monopoly of the US Medical Insurance Industry.
3.) Spreading fear and blame might also preserve Obamas power to increase Obamacare Insurance premiums on an annual basis.
*This would be highly advantageous to Obama as the increase in mandatory insurance premiums would not be a tax, as the unexpected market conditions would be given as the reason for the increase.
*Also there would be no need to ask for the Advice and Consent of Congress, as the IRS would be in complete control of all income and medical records.
4.) The last reason is the most important for Obama, personally: America would at last no longer be a Nation where the Liberty to choose ones own family destiny could ever exist again.
As for Reid, the best guess I have is that he wants a Government Monopoly of the Medical Insurance Industry. Well, to be fair, Reid calls for a single payer system.
My suspician is that multi-millionaire Reid, nearing Federal retirement, owns a lot of stock in some companies that are tied to a single payer system.
Maybe the NSA, or the IRS can find out for us?
Im going to ask my US Senator from TEXAS, The Esteemed Senator John To Hell with my voters Cornyn to check on this for me - - - .
Sadly, obama's understanding of the economy is no better than his understanding of basic mechanics. Gears don't have "traction" - they are either engaged and meshing or not. Traction refers to the transfer of force via friction.
I will not negotiate over Congress responsibility to pay the bills that have already been racked up.
Yes, you will. You will stop "racking up" those bills.
Nobody gets to threaten the full faith and credit of the U.S. just to extract political concessions. Knock it off, pass a budget, and move on.
That includes you, you condescending little POS.
If I heard Bill Cunningham correctly last night, govt. shutdowns have happened more during Democrat administrations and is shown by this wikipedia article. All we are getting are scare tactics from the media. Doesn't sound like a big deal.
Actually the "political grandstanding" is by the Democrats! The vast majority of the people have spoken through the House of Representatives. As a result the lawless Democrats are telling the people of this country that they are fools for asking for what they want, and for what they elected the lawmakers to do. The Democrats continue to defy the people of the USA.
We shall see soon enough which is correct! Doubling down and losing could affect the Democrats for years to come!
Remember he was going to bomb Syria as well.
the grandstanding has real affects on real people. It would throw a wrench in the gears of the economy, just as those gears are beginning to get traction, ..."
Hempf!! The Demos do this all the time, especially just when the economy starts to get traction.....
which is the point!!!!
"We're sick of those House peons sabotaging our perks, privileges and exemptions."
"Republican peasants!!"
"Obama has ruled that we Democrats are the Chosen Ones."
Make him call his bluff, Republicans.
Most of the 47 % riding in the free wagon seek out slavery, and lack of personal choice.
They thus feel safe, and secure in the knowledge that this is as bad as it is going to get.
Liberty is defined in the dictionary as follows:

Excellent post!
you know, it those 47% that will vote to keep the gravy train going until it fall off the cliff.
(you can only wish that those will make up the FED army, but alas!!! there are too many armed thugs in power now)

TALKING POINTS Obama/crats are attempting to tax, gather data, and otherwise collapse what remains of the private healthcare delivery system. Obamacare is not about healthcare or even insurance coverage, it is about centrally controlling from DC every aspect of your life.
Your doctor will be their informant on how you live, work and eat while their IRS agents will monitor every financial aspect of your life in the guise of keeping you healthy. There will not be one part of your life they will not only know but control through the Unaffordable Healthcare Act. This is a dream come true for the central planners who run the Communist....er, I mean.... Democrat Party and the worst nightmare for your average American.
How to middle finger the O/Crats: We know the O/Care ship is listing---
ready to heave--- maybe do a Costa Concordia into the Potomac.
THE BAD NEWS KEEPS COMING Reuters reports the US government on Wednesday scaled back its projections for Obamacare's impact in 2014, saying the law would generate slower healthcare spending growth and provide coverage to only half as many of America's uninsured as anticipated last year.
The biggest factor in the change stems from the U.S. Supreme Court verdict last year allowing each state to decide whether to expand the public Medicaid program for the poor under Obama's healthcare reform law. Republican leaders in nearly half of the nation's 50 states have rejected the expansion.
HHS now expects 11 million uninsured Americans to obtain coverage next year, down from about 22 million projected a year ago, according to the report, which appeared in the journal Health Affairs. (Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
There's also lawsuits and state problems.
HERE'S HOW THEY'RE STOPPING OBAMACARE A West Virginia nonprofit has turned down a federal grant it received to help residents navigate new health insurance options under the Affordable Care Act after it received an inquiry from Attorney General Patrick Morrisey about how it would protect consumer information. Clarksburg-based West Virginia Parent Training Inc. did not respond to a letter it received from Morrisey directing it to answer 26 questions about the group's personnel and hiring practices, including employee background checks and employee monitoring programs, the Sunday Gazette-Mail (http://bit.ly/17M1QVe) reported. (Excerpt) Read more at sanluisobispo.com ...
YOUR TURN--Contact your state AG---ask him/her to issue a letter of inquiry to groups receiving federal "Navigator" grants. The inquiry should center on questions WRT how the group intends to protect consumer data.
In particular, the questionnaire should ask if the tax-funded "Navigator" program intends to transfer personal/ financial/medical data of the insured to the local/county/national Democrat Party, relevant Unions, banks, investment companies, drug companies, insurance companies. Trial Lawyers' associations and whether "Navigators" have sub rosa contracts with these, and other groups, plan to profit, to provide significant info to enrich databases for pecuniary purposes.
The AG also needs to confirm (1) whether the "navigator" was ever convicted of a felony....... and....(2) whether the "navigator" can be bonded.
Most importantly demand that your AG enforce the requirement that "Navigators" must have a state insurance license (consists of a comprehensive test on all aspects of insurance and compels a background check).
Breitbart Big Government ^ | 8/23/2013 | William Bigelow / FR Posted by markomalley
EXCERPT Planned Parenthood is about to obtain access to your Social Security number, tax form, bank account, and medical records.
With the advent of ObamaCare, consumers buying health insurance through health care exchanges will be required to speak to navigators. Navigators are supposed to help consumers find the best coverage and ascertain whether they are eligible for a federal subsidy.
Any navigator will have access to the federal data hub, which holds information from the Department of Health and Human Services, the IRS, the Social Security Administration, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Defense Department, the Office of Personnel Management, the Veterans Health Administration, and the Peace Corps.
Planned Parenthood received $655,000 from the Obama administration to hire navigators. In Iowa, Planned Parenthood of the Heartland received $214,427; in Montana, Intermountain Planned Parenthood, Inc. got $295,604; and in New Hampshire, Planned Parenthood of Northern New England raked in $145,161.
And there is not much scrutiny over who these navigators will be; HHS will not require background checks or fingerprinting, and a previous criminal conviction, even if it was for identity theft , will not trigger a rejection. To make matters worse, the administration has cut the new employees training from 30 hours to 20 and reduced screening.
OKLAHOMA WINS FIRST OCARE BATTLE: Quoting AG Pruitt--- "Obamacare was meant to be so open-ended that it could mean anything. We are seeing thousands of pages of new rules being written, both by HHS and the IRS. The open-ended interpretation of Obamacare enables this.....if the law doesn't contain a particular provision, no problem. They just make it up as they go along."
"Such is the case that involves the OK lawsuit."
The court rejected the federal governments argument that Oklahoma lacked standing to challenge the law, allowing us to proceed with this pivotal case, Were optimistic the court will recognize what states have known for months that the IRS disregarded the law by making the large employer mandate effective in Oklahoma or in any of the 33 other states without a state health care exchange.
REFERENCE Oklahoma challenged implementation of the Affordable Care Act after the IRS finalized a rule that would allow the federal government to punish large employers, including local government, with millions of dollars in tax penalties in states without state health care exchanges, which is not allowed under the health care law.
Congress provided a choice for Oklahoma and other states in implementation of the health care law, and the IRS is attempting to take that away by rule, General Pruitt said. The administration miscalculated how many states would support this law, so now theyre using the IRS to push through provisions that Congress did not pass.
PROTECT YOURSELF---Obamacare is easy pickins for identity thieves. Steps to take to minimize risk of identity theft:
1. Contact the IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit at 1-800-908-4490
2. Order a tax account transcript from the IRS that verifies basic personal data along with details of your tax return filed, which may come in handy if you are checking to see whether someone else filed a fraudulent return on your behalf
The Federal Trade Commission (link at website) also lists several steps you must take if you have been a victim of identity theft.

I've had more than enough lies from this clown.
And his toadies in Congress and the media/propaganda complex, too.
He talks alot tougher to the House GOP than he does to Iran.
ironic that BHO defeated hillary in the primaries by running on hope, HEALING, and UNITY — and implying that she was too divisive a figure to get anything done in WDC.
The Clown Prince is whining. nobama is such a flaccid loser. Not only is nobama the ultimate failed president, he is a failure as a human being. If only there were leadership in congress...then, they would impeach, convict and imprison this weak buffoon.
Heh-—"Bony Phony"-—good one.
Il Duce transformed into Lil Douche.

"I'm having a TGA episode now---relapsing back to my
days as a tuba player in my high school marching band."
0' (aka, the POS) is correct in this case. The economy *IS* in traction. According to Websters, Traction: "Medicine/Medical . the deliberate and prolonged pulling of a muscle, organ, or the like, as by weights, to correct dislocation, relieve pressure, etc. "
Here are some examples of the state of being "in traction"...
This message was brought to you by President. 'I Won'.
Calling him a "man" is like putting "Honorable" in front of most Senator's names.
No, it's authorizing more spending. If the Rs authorize a raise of the ceiling, 0bama will at some time say it has to be raised again to pay for what's already been authorized.
Make this point Repubs.
Also, tie debt ceiling increase to higher taxes DIRECTLY.
Americas credit was downgraded for the first time under Obamugabe.
Yet we keep spending more and more trillions like it never happened. We are much deeper in debt since then so why has America's credit not been downgraded again?
Spending cuts need to happen and most know it.
Nobody wants to face the ugly truth. We are flat broke. The day of reckoning is fast approaching and will hit us like a ton of bricks.
Typical response from Bammy (and most democrats), assume the "moral high ground," and exert his importance in the matter.

The Shoah Victims' Names Recovery Project aims to memorialize each individual Jew murdered in the Holocaust by recording their names, biographical details and photographs on special forms created by Yad Vashem, called Pages of Testimony.
While 4.6 million of the six million victims are documented in the Central Database of Shoah Victims' Names (www.yadvashem.org), close to 1.5 million will remain unknown unless we submit their names today!
Please help recover the names of those who were murdered before there is no one left who can remember their time here on this earth.
Submit Pages of Testimony today so they will be remembered for generations to come.

Imported from Italy, this stylish toothpaste makes brushing your teeth anything but routine. Both the Classic Mint and Whitening formulas keep your breath fresh while removing surface stains from your teeth. Plus, the apothecary-inspired tube dresses up the bathroom sink.
My biggest issue with teeth whitening toothpastes is the grittiness and flavoring of them. This one has a great flavor that lasts! I love the minty feeling after brushing and feel like it has made my teeth whiter (though, slowly). Most other whitening toothpastes loose flavor as I brush and don't leave my mouth feeling fresh--not this one! Also, awesome package design!5
I bought this product hoping that it would really make a difference and whiten my teeth. I did not notice any difference, did not like that it doesn't foam as much as other brands or leave my mouth feeling minty fresh. I don't hate it but would not buy again bc of its lack of performance, consistency and quite pricy for a toothpaste.3
I have worked in dentistry for a number of years. Of all the whitening toothpaste I have used this has got to be the most subtle of them all. And I don't mean the whitening part of it all. This paste is creamy and taste creamy unlike most that taste harsh to the point where it strips your mouth dry. I highly recommend this to people who also have sensitive teeth and still want to try a whitening product.5
I purchased this toothpaste because I've seen it from a few retailers and which great reviews as well. I expected some strong mint flavor but it was very mild, so I doesn't leave your breath super fresh. It cleans well but no real difference from any other toothpaste. I have used it for a few days now and haven't really noticed any real whitening being done but again it's been a few days. Maybe if I see some whiter teeth I'll come back to this but for now it's a cute tube of paste and wasn't a real hit on my pocket3

As New Yorkers prepare for summer's heat, Con Edison announced that the company is launching new energy efficiency programs for eligible small businesses and homeowners that include free energy surveys and rebates for those who upgrade their heating, cooling and hot-water systems.
For small businesses, Con Edison will provide free energy audits and give substantial rebates to companies that make major energy efficiency upgrades. Residential customers can take advantage of rebates for installing the most efficient heating, cooling and hot-water equipment.
Eligible small business customers who use under 100kw in monthly peak demand can receive a free energy survey and free efficiency measures installed onsite to reduce lighting and hot water usage such as compact fluorescent lamps; water heater thermostat setbacks; low-flow aerators (water saving device), and rebates of up to 70 percent when they upgrade cooling, heating, lighting and certain other equipment.
Eligible residential electric customers who live in one-to-four family homes can receive rebates of up to $400 for the purchase and installation of high-efficiency electric air conditioning equipment; rebates for other measures such as electric water heating and duct sealing, and a $25 rebate on Energy Star rated thermostats which can help customers save up to 10 percent a year on cooling and heating bills.
Energy efficiency is essential to Con Edison's plan to slow the growing demand for electricity in New York City, while protecting the environment and deferring infrastructure investment costs.
"These new financial incentives will help our customers save money and energy while offering solutions that are good for the environment," said Rebecca Craft, director of energy efficiency programs. "Making homes and businesses more energy efficient is an important step toward reducing our carbon footprint."
For more information, small business customers and residential customers can call toll free 1-877-870-6118.

OXFORD, Miss.-- A courageous group of Vanderbilt Commodores fought back from a 21-point deficit to tie Ole Miss at 38-38 with 6:51 to play. But the Commodores were unable to stop Eli Manning and the Rebels on a decisive 80-yard drive, and Vanderbilt fell short at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium Saturday, 45-38.
The Rebels drove the ball 80 yards on nine plays to score the go-ahead touchdown on a 23-yard Ronald McClendon run with 3:12 left in the game. Quarterback Jay Cutler led the Commodores inside the Mississippi 29 with 20 seconds left, but was hit in the backfield on a first-down play by the Rebs' Tahrek Johnson and lost the football. E. J. Spence recovered, and the Rebels' victory was secured.
"Our guys didn't give up, that's for sure," said Vandy head coach Bobby Johnson. "We had periods in the game when we played probably as good as we can play. "We've just got to push it up another notch and say, hey, let's get the win.
"We talked about it as a team, and we're just not satisfied with keeping it close," continued Johnson. "I'm proud of our guys, but we've got to learn how to win."
The Commodores' cause appeared lost when Ole Miss took a 38-17 lead just before the end of the third quarter. Eli Manning, the Rebel's junior quarterback phenom, torched the Commodore defense for a career-high 386 yards, 240 of which came in the third quarter alone. But Vanderbilt refused to quit, and scored on three consecutive fourth-quarter possessions to tie the game.
Freshman kickoff returner Kwane Doster ignited the Commodore rally with a 95-yard kickoff return, which took the ball to the Ole Miss 5. Two plays later Cutler completed a 7-yard fade pass to Dan Stricker in the end zone, making the score 38-24.
After holding Ole Miss to a three-and-out, Cutler led Vandy on a 56-yard scoring drive which culminated in a one-yard quarterback sneak. The big play in the drive was a 31-yard pass play from Cutler to M. J. Garrett.
The Vandy defense held Ole Miss to three plays once more, and a poor punt by Ole Miss put the Commodores in business at the Rebel 41. Kwane Doster appeared to score on a 28-yard run from scrimmage, but officials said he stepped out of bounds at the Ole Miss 3. Fullback Matt Tant carried up the middle for the tying score.
"[In the second half] both teams started making big plays, and both teams started playing a little loose," said Johnson. "Both teams probably got a little bit cautious on defense."
Ole Miss got the ball back with 6:51 to play. It took the Rebels only nine plays and 3-and-a-half minutes to go 80 yards. Vanderbilt got the ball back and moved from the VU 20 to the Rebel 29. But the Commodores' chances to tie the game ended when Ole Miss forced Cutler to fumble with 20 seconds left.
The loss, Vandy's second in conference play, was a bitter pill, but Saturday's performance had to be a boost for the Commodore offense, which had averaged only 4.5 points per game and had not scored a touchdown against Division I-A competition. Saturday, the Commodores put up 38 points, five touchdowns, and 464 yards of total offense.
Vandy also firmly established its ground game for the first time this season. The Commodores rushed for 257 yards and had two rushers go over 100 yards each (Kwane Doster and Norval McKenzie) for the first time since last year's Duke game.
The disappointing facet of the game was the defensive performance. The Commodores allowed Manning to throw for an amazing 386 yards, and gave up a number of unsightly long touchdowns.
Ole Miss capitalized on two Vanderbilt turnovers to jump out to a 16-7 halftime lead. Jonathan Nichols opened the scoring with a 39-yard field goal on the Rebels' first possession. On Vandy's first possession the Commodores drove into scoring position at the Ole Miss 21, but Greg Johnson's field goal attempt bounced off the upright, no good.
Vandy's defense stopped the Rebels on their next possession, but true freshman punt returner Grant Brigham fumbled away Ole Miss' punt at the Commodore 18. It took Ole Miss five plays and a fourth-down conversion to score, but they did on fullback Vashon Pearson's 4-yard run up the middle. Ole Miss led at the end of the first quarter, 10-0.
Vanderbilt gave Ole Miss another golden opportunity early in the second quarter when tight end Tom Simone fumbled in Vandy territory after a pass reception. A 43-yard field goal by Nichols made it 13-0 Ole Miss.
The two teams exchanged punts, and then Vandy's offense finally began to click. A 35-yard Cutler pass over the middle to M. J. Garrett put Vandy in business. Kwane Doster went around right end 23 yards for the score, blasting in between blocks by Simone and fullback Bara Cola. It was Doster's first touchdown as a Commodore-- and Vandy's first touchdown of the season against a Division I-A opponent.
Ole Miss added a third Nichols field goal with 0:52 left in the second quarter, and Vandy found itself down 16-7 at halftime. For a second straight week, Vandy found itself asking, What if? (What if we hadn't given Ole Miss the ball twice in Vandy territory?)
Halfway through the third quarter, both offenses seemed to come out of a funk. Norval McKenzie streaked up the middle for a 47-yard gain to the Ole Miss 8. Vandy ran the ball three times, but couldn't advance past the 2, and had to settle for a Greg Johnson field goal that cut the Rebel lead to 16-10.
Eli Manning found receiver Chris Collins all alone in the Vandy secondary and hit him for a 79-yard catch-and-run that put Ole Miss up 23-10. But Vandy answered when Cutler found Garrett all alone on a 49-yard play-action pass that cut Ole Miss' lead to 23-17.
Like lightning, Manning found Mike Espy for a 78-yard bomb on Ole Miss' next offensive play, and the Rebs took a 30-17 lead. Ole Miss stopped Vandy once more, and the Rebels scored again on an 80-yard drive which was capped by a two-point conversion. Ole Miss then held a commanding lead of 38-17.
Perhaps Vandy's biggest heroes of the day were Doster, who had 243 yards on eight kickoff returns, including the 95-yarder; Garrett, who burst back on the scene with four catches for 128 yards after only two receptions in Vandy's first three games; and Cutler, who was 11-of-21 for 207 yards and two touchdowns passing.
Ultimately, however, turnovers played a huge role in the outcome. Ole Miss scored 10 points in the first half off two Vandy fumbles, and lost any chance to tie or win on Cutler's fumble as the seconds ticked down. Ole Miss did not have a turnover.
Linebacker Brandon Walthour suffered a concussion and missed the second half. The Rebels, however, lost three players to serious injuries during the course of the game.
Vanderbilt (1-3, 0-2 in the SEC) returns home for a 6 p.m. game against Lou Holtz' South Carolina Gamecocks next Saturday. Ole Miss improves to 3-1, 1-0.

Road To Detroit: Easiest Path In The MAC East?
The MAC Football Championship game is held every year at Ford Field in Detroit where Bowling Green took home the title last season after overpowering Northern Illinois.
As always, the Road to Detroit starts with the schedule, so let's take a look at which teams will benefit or struggle.
Bowling Green
The defending champs have to take to the road for just one of their toughest games as the Falcons travel to Ohio, but host Buffalo and Ball State. The beginning of October will be a test when Bowling Green will play Buffalo and Ohio in back-to-back weeks. In its final game of the regular season, Ball State will visit Doyt Perry Stadium to tackle Bowling Green in what could be a preview of the championship game. Overall, Bowling Green has a favorable road to defend its title.
The Bulls will take to the road against Bowling Green and will also visit Athens, Ohio, to face the Bobcats. Their toughest home game against the Akron Zips will come late in the season. Buffalo will have an uphill battle against the MAC's best, but will get to start the conference schedule at home against a rebuilding Miami of Ohio. The Bulls will need to win on the road in order to be able to take a trip to Detroit.
The Bobcats had an off season in 2013, going 4-4 in the conference. The route for them this year will not get any better against Bowling Green, Buffalo, Northern Illinois and Akron, although all of those will be at home. Ohio will start its season on the road against Kent State, then has four non-conference games to prepare for the rest of its MAC schedule. Ohio also has a bye week before facing Buffalo and NIU. If the Bobcats can take care of business against lesser teams, they have a favorable schedule to make a run at a title.
Unlike Ohio's schedule, if the Zips want any hope at having a good season they will have to be road warriors. After playing Ohio at home, they face Ball State, Bowling Green and Buffalo on the road. The Zips have a bye week in between their contests against Ball State and Bowling Green, but they definitely have the hardest schedule in the MAC East. Their home games are must wins against three of the MAC's four worst teams last season in Miami, UMass and Eastern Michigan. The road to Detroit promises to be filled with twists and turn for Akron.
Kent State
Like Akron, Kent State has a grueling road schedule. Games against Northern Illinois, Bowling Green and Buffalo are all away from home and don't look promising after the Golden Flashes lost to all three of those teams last season. Kent State has the second-hardest schedule in the MAC East, so it will need superb play to make a title run.
Luckily for the Minutemen, they play their toughest games at home. The downside to that is that they are 2-22 overall as a Division I program. New head coach Mark Whipple has a big challenge ahead of him. If UMass was a more established program, this would be a decent schedule, but considering that the Minutemen's program isn't on its feet yet, this schedule is bad news.
On paper, the Bobcats of Ohio look to have an edge in the MAC East. However, that being said, Ohio still has to play the games. With spring practices fast approaching, those sessions will provide a first look at what teams in the MAC are working with in 2014.

[…] Oxford, they pronounced "vape" the word of the year, in a nod to the e-cigarette movement. And dictionary.com went with "exposure," related to the fears surrounding […]
In 2014, the Ebola virus, widespread theft of personal information, and shocking acts of violence and brutality dominated the news. Vulnerability and visibility were at the core of the year's most notable headlines. Encapsulating those themes, Dictionary.com's Word of the Year for 2014 is exposure.
The word exposure entered English in the early 1600s to refer to a state of being without shelter or protection. Over the course of the next few centuries, it picked up numerous meanings, four of which were particularly germane to 2014. In the spring, one of these took on grave importance:
Exposure: the condition of being exposed to danger or harm.
Over 14,000 cases of Ebola were counted in West Africa by mid-November of this year, with over 5,000 confirmed deaths. The outbreak was described by the World Health Organization as the "most severe acute health emergency in modern times." Exposure to the disease was of paramount concern as health workers in countries including Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone struggled to contain the deadly virus and provide the best possible care to those infected.
In the US a second sense of exposure became increasingly relevant as the conversation about the virus spread through the airwaves. In the mid-1950s, a media-centric sense of exposure arose in the US to discuss the emerging power of broadcasting and advertising:
Exposure: the act of bringing to public attention, especially through media coverage; publicity.
Ebola gained widespread publicity within the US in late summer and early fall. In the three weeks spanning September 29 to October 17, around the time of Thomas Eric Duncan's death in Dallas, three top network nightly news programs, ABC World News, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News, gave 28 percent of their total broadcast time to Ebola. Of that time, 11.7 percent was devoted to the outbreak in Africa. A poll released on October 8 by the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling at Rutgers University in New Jersey revealed that people who consume high levels of Ebola-related news were the most confused on the topic. The media blitz eventually softened and large-scale fundraising efforts were launched by both Facebook and Google to support efforts in West Africa. The arc and nature of the publicity surrounding Ebola sparked discussion on not only the transmission of the virus, but also the transmission and distortion of ideas.
A third meaning of exposure set several critical conversations into motion in 2014:
Exposure: an act or instance of bringing to light, revealing, or unmasking crime, misconduct, or evil.
On August 9, Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old black male, was fatally shot by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. In the days following the shooting, residents of Ferguson took to the streets in protest. The police force there responded to the protests with riot gear, armored trucks, and tear gas. Social media saw an outpouring of activity exposing experiences of racism and prejudice far beyond Ferguson, often gaining traction with hashtags, most notably #IfTheyGunnedMeDown. On August 11, the FBI opened a civil rights inquiry into the shooting of Brown. On August 20, a grand jury began hearing evidence to determine whether to indict Darren Wilson, the officer who shot Brown. Awaiting the jury's decision in November, the hacktivist group Anonymous began exposing the identities of members of the Ku Klux Klan and seized the KKK's Twitter account after the hate group threatened to use "lethal force" against protesters. Ferguson became a flash point for discussions on racism, police militarization, and abuse of power, prompting many to reflect on how far we have come in the Obama era.
In February, the celebrity gossip site TMZ released footage of NFL player Ray Rice dragging his unconscious then-fiancée Janay Palmer out of an elevator in Atlantic City. The footage resulted in Rice's suspension from two games in the season. The punishment earned widespread criticism, prompting the NFL to rethink their policy on domestic violence. In August, the NFL announced a new policy of a six-game unpaid ban for first offenses of domestic violence and a lifetime ban for second offenses. The following month, TMZ released footage of Rice punching Palmer inside the elevator; hours later Rice's contract with the Baltimore Ravens was terminated. Set against the backdrop of these events, President Obama launched an initiative to raise awareness of sexual violence on college campuses, telling reporters at the campaign's unveiling,"The fact is from sport leagues to pop culture to politics, our society does not sufficiently value women."
In late summer, the world was exposed to two shocking acts of violence in graphic detail as the terrorist organization ISIS posted YouTube videos of the beheadings of American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff. For many, these videos, along with the organization's methods of aggressive and direct engagement on social media, brought a terrifying and gruesome reality of our times into stark focus.
Exposure has another sense that pervaded the headlines and scandals of 2014:
Exposure: disclosure of something private or secret.
As our credit cards, passwords, and private photos were hacked, stolen, and distributed this year, we became aware of the vulnerability of personal information. In January, Target disclosed that 110 million customers had credit cards, pin numbers, and other information stolen. In April, the security bug Heartbleed was reported, revealing that millions of people's passwords and behavior online was insecure. In September, Home Depot announced that 56 million credit and debit card numbers were stolen from their system, and in October, JPMorgan Chase revealed that contact information for about 76 million households and 7 million small businesses was hacked in a cyberattack over the summer.
Another form of stolen private information captured our attention this summer: in August, Apple's iCloud was hacked resulting in the exposure of nude photos of over 100 celebrities, including Jennifer Lawrence, who called the attack a "sex crime" when she told Vanity Fair, "The law needs to be changed, and we need to change." The widespread, involuntary exposure of personal information reminded us that our reliance on our technology introduces new kinds of risks.
From the pervading sense of vulnerability surrounding Ebola to the visibility into acts of crime or misconduct that ignited critical conversations about race, gender, and violence, various senses of exposure were out in the open this year. How did you see exposure in the news?

"Puckersnatch" should be "the word of the year" as long as ignorant nobody Barack is still in the "Offal" (now) Office admiring himself.
You might think he ignorant, and wether or not he is in unimportant but to say he's a nobody is a nobody is like saying that your life is equivalent to a gram of fiber that makes up a rotting cardboard box left out and forgotten about. Nobody deserves being called a nobody, even if you hate him he's still human.
P.S.: "Offal" really is it that difficult to spell "Oval"

With the abundance of words available in the English language, I am perplexed by the chosen word for the year 2014 – exposure. In a time that was appropriately analyzed on its face as vulnerable, the analysis neglects to expose the complete record for the year 2014, and in my opinion, incomplete resulting in an inadequate word. Is 2014 simply exposure without response? Or is there hope and imagination abounding in the year 2014? Yes hope and imagination abound!
As a fellow logophile, I humbly propose a second look at the headlines to determine the 2014 WORD of the YEAR, considering both the shock and awe headlines and the human reaction found in the after stories. Vulnerability and visibility may have been at the core of the year's most notable headlines yet exposure is not the only word available to encapsulate the root causes and responses.
I propose the 2014 WORD or the YEAR should be humanity.
Introduced 1350-1400 during the Middle English period, the word humanity defines all human beings collectively, the human race or in a word humankind. The noun humanity celebrates the quality or condition of being human and expression of our human nature in passion, greed, and corruption alongside our ability to be humane, kind and benevolent.
Considering the word will remain in perpetuity, humanity is well-balanced and complete in describing the people behind the headlines.
An excellent point of view and definition of about what's happening around the world. Exposure and vulnerability should be wrapped up as the as the definition of humanity or humankind. We all know that being human we are always exposed and vulnerable, that's just a fact of life and certainly not saying very much about humanity or humankind. There is so much more about humanity or humankind then meets the eye.

Why are all the reasons negative? Could this word not have been elected for a positive sense?
no pokemon shouldve been word of the year
i think it should be:
1. awesome
I think picking exposure was stupid because it just makes people want to cry.
Dictionary.com asked on their homepage recently
"If you could summarize 2014 in a single word, what would it be?"
"Why did you pick this word?"
I answered :"SAD" my explanation is below..and I see that they agreed!
I answered:
Long winter, death of comedians, beheadings, police brutality, "Apple"
haters, public partiality for some and not for others (NFL, ESPN)
further loss of American cohesion-locally, politically etc.
this is a funny topic
Well, as a professional Kumite fighter and a main character in a famous movie called BloodSport I would have liked the word of the year to be something like 'fighting', 'boxing', or 'blood'. But the word I would have liked to be the word of the year the most would have been 'Kumite' which as I have mentioned before I am a professional at.
Thank You Dictionary.com, Van Damme
[…] and visibility were at the core of the year's most notable headlines. Encapsulating those themes, Dictionary.com's Word of the Year for 2014 […]
Wait now i read the whole thing the word was not ebola.
'Exposure'… Good word, good research and examples. Perhaps next year's could be 'Surveillance'.
Nice article and unbetterable video.
is unbetterable a word
I am both impressed and disappointed by the choice of "exposure" as the word of the year.
I am impressed with the thought process relating the different emergent meanings of the word to the more impactful issues of 2014 and with the consideration of how the word relates to the fundamental effect these issues are having upon people in almost any context. This stands in brilliant contrast to the so-called standards of language reference (like Oxford) who have devolved their criterion to usage popularity and Internet trends.
However, I am disappointed in that the word does not represent the year with distinction. I can not think of a single year in which there were not issues that are also represented by the different meanings of the word. Since the word can equally represent all years, can it really be considered a word for just one or even a finite set of years? It just seems like the word is actually a lazy fall-back for those who gave up on looking for a word that distinctly represents a year.
Exposure is a fantastic word of the year. Exposure brings transparency. Transparency brings justice peace and harmony. I grant it won't all happen overnight, but it will happen.
You mention Ebola, that man made virus that has a patent number attached to it. The Ebola virus is being spread by the vaccination itself. All those being vaccinated get the virus.
They (the psychopaths that run this planet at the moment), did this with the poor of the Indian, Mexican, and African peoples. The WHO and the FDA pushed huge vaccination programs onto poor of these Nations under the guise of preventing Cancer of the womb in young women. All these vaccinations did was to make these young women unable to bear children in the future.
The culling agenda of humanity by the cabal goes on.The sooner these psychopaths are arrested and hung, or, jailed for life, the sooner mankind will live in peace and prosperity.
Where is this claimed patent number? I've heard the stories and seen the tweets, but the patent number they point at does not exist or points to an entirely different record.
Whaaaaat? That went weird fast.
Why can't we stick to what we know to be facts? By all means, question these if you will; but don't hold up unfounded and specious conspiracy theories to be an indisputable truth.
i read that the word of the year for 2013 was privacy, interesting that word of the year this year is exposure… couldn't those words be considered as opposites? yet privacy had been chosen for awareness of internet exposure, and now exposure is being chosen because of infectious disease affecting those who have limited capacity to contain illness with privacy? just a thought…
Obviously Dictionary.com dd a good job in choosing a word for the year, just look at the fact people are doing more than just reading the blog and leaving, they feel the need to respond to the blog and to each other. I don't think they'd have done their job right if the word wasn't controversial to some degree. Or at least message provoking.
As for Micheal Brown, all that matters is that he is gone. And he did nothing to deserve that. I think we can all agree on that. A similar incident happened a few years back in Toronto (Canada) The poor guy was on the back of the bus, i don't remember the details, but police shot him and he had nothing but an umbrella. Cops later said they thought it was a rifle. I hope those officers had their eyes checked afterwards, I mean, there's the way you hold a rifle and the way you hold your umbrella. Sad to see lives lost like this.
As for Ebola, Why can't the governments force pharmaceutical companies to make the vaccine by the truckload? What B.S. is it when Canada sits by and watches 4 years pass without forcing the company they chose to make the vaccine to get their S%T together? I'm embarrassed for my country. We are letting down the world by sitting on our hands when it comes to this vaccine. They should have had production up are running 24/7. I certainly want to know if it were to spread to Vancouver that I would have access to vaccines, but obviously not. I can't be the only person thinking Canada has to revoke the license given to Newlink Genetics and get the human trials started already. 2015 is too late to start testing if 5000 are already dead. How many of them would have tested your vaccine willingly? I understand caution, of course we don't want to give people something that is dangerous, and we need to know the minimum to use in order to stretch it, but by the time trials are over and that one dinky company puts out the vaccine it will be like 2016 or so. That is too late.
Well, I guess I've joined the rants,oops!
Peace all
I think that this should be blindly ignored (j.k)
That is two words
ebola is serious and is spreading in Africa
Ebola is serious
Well Duh! Obviously Ebola is serious! Who in the world didn't know that?!
well it not making fun of it. it is just the word of the year
I am so tired of people wanting to defend these officers may be he should have got a promotion like the 2 white officers that beat a little black girl unconscious just because she was black. It makes no sense why he is not in jail. "it's not a racism thing" You all get mad at us for getting sick and tired of the constant abuse and no justice. The fact is we live in a white nation African Americans are just foreigners that they bought and released we will never get the the justice we deserve. But it says" for liberty and justice for all" bull-crap. I can't even go outside without wondering if I am going to be shot the next second . You don't realize that there are still many white people that would rather us to be picking cotton in a field. You're saying he stole things and they said Trevon Martin was armed and the only thing he had was an ice tea and skittle they also said he stole something to. How ironic. George Zimmerman was not white which shows you how many people do not like us. At least there are some decent people in the world. I am not saying black people don't do any thing wrong because that would be one big lie but just no the difference between facts and people trying to cover their dirt up.
I agree! I'm a 30 year old white woman who is sick and tired of all this prejudice nonsense. We should be beyond all this by now! The Trevon Martin case had me in tears! And I'm finding that every time I turn on the news my heart sinks due to another case of racism and pure stupidity. Racism is not the only issue with all these cases but it is a HUGE one. All these officers pull out their guns at a whim and that shouldn't be allowed. I have two sons and even though they are white I'm still in fear for them. These officers are getting ridiculous and it's time we review our laws and stop allowing these officers to kill at their own discretion!
I totaly agree but dirtbags is a bit harsh dont you think.
i meant jake my name is jake
really dirtbag
Nobody ever said 'dirtbag.' Quit putting words in other people's mouths.
Not all white people are bad you know not all white people are prejudust not all weight people think African Americans should be in the Cotten fields picking Cotten but on the other hand not all African Americans are bad but just like white people I think every should be equal but we're not wemen and men aren't equil white people and African Americans are not equil but they should be because people are people but the wild can not be changed by pretty words alone it takes action to make things happen and one person can't change the world with out a little help I'm not saying all African Americans are bad or good but neither are white people I do not support what those officers did I think you should Jude by what's on the inside instead if what's on the outside I am sorry you feel that way but just remember every dog backs if they don't know the person
I ment world and judgeand barks my phone is acting up
Yet we elected an African American president. If you feel that the country is as racist as you say, why on earth would you continue living here? Fraught with such danger and prejudice, and terrified to leave your own home ? For God sakes , seek refuge in a safer country! Umm, what country would you suggest??
The "word of the year" is nonsense- especially because the explanation for its selection has sparked such silly outrage by the likes of the previous commentator.
Thanks Dave.
Finally the real answer we needed.
Quit crying people. The world sucks and is full of psycho bullies who carry guns and think differently than you.
Jeff, that's outta line. That kind of judgmenting doesn't get anyone anywhere.
The word of the year should have been deceitful; our government at the highest levels time and time again have operated on the assumption that the vast majority of the American electorate is stupid; apathetic with no ability to know what is good for them.
The Obama administration; which touted from the start would be the most transparent executive office ever maybe the worst since the Nixon Administration. Maybe the worst ever in this great countries history. Some of the highest ranking officials in our government from President Obama, to the Senate majority leader Reid, House minority leader Pelosi to Secretary of State Clinton and Attorney Gen. Holder have not been forthright at best and may have lied to the American public at worst on issues like; the Affordable Health Care Act; Fast and Furious; Benghazi even politicizing and dividing the country on the Ferguson, MO shooting and the inept handling of Ebola. The President now has plans to continue to over reach his executive authority concerning immigration another act laced with deceitful rhetoric. These are all significant reasons for choosing deceitful as the true word of the year.
Maybe if there were enough honest journalism in the news media more people in this country and around the world would know the truth and exposure would have been validated as the word of the year. Again another validation for the word of the year to be DECEITFUL.
Yes, people like you who get their "news" from the likes of Limbaugh, Beck, Palin and Faux News are stupid. Sure, the Obama administration has made its share of mistakes, but to even equate it with some of the worst in American history just betrays the level of your historical ignorance. If you look at the American history, some of the most corrupt and inept presidents were Republican. U.S. Grant, Warren Harding, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush to name the most prominent. How many American people died from the implementation of ACA, the ebola outbreak, Benghazi ( the Right's fascination with this event is truly bordering on OCD) combined? Now compare that with how many Americans died from Bush's willful lie about WMD in Iraq? How about his administration's failure to police the financial world that led to the worst recession since the Great Depression. If not the ACA, what's GOP's answer to tackling the plight of 50 million or so uninsured Americans and taming the cost of ever escalating health care cost? Other than the usual "Just trust the market" non-solution, nothing.
Keep drinking the koolaid and watching MSNBC and Jon Stewart and reading People mag…and the Democrat party's architects will continue to call the people stupid. But I guess you have not heard about that because no network and only Fox News reported that story; about the learned professor from MIT Jonathan Gruber who has great admiration for those that feel the way you do.Liberals are generally unable to articulate a coherent argument they get frustrated when facing the truth…that is why the Democrats love their base they can tell them anything and they accept it hook, line and sinker. Instead of looking at all the facts it is easier for liberals to call people names and pick out the parts of history that suit their feelings. The entire free world believed WMD's existed; go back and hear things Hillary Clinton and John Kerry stood on the Senate floor and said. Not to mention how many times the weak links of the UN so powerfully pened resolutions condemning Iraq and demanding inspections drawing as this President does lines in the sand then do nothing. And just because they did not find any does not mean WMD's never existed. Health Insurance cost; that is a good one; this President's AHC act will be brutal on millions of middle class Americans but not the elites this administration runs with. Another liberalism is how quickly they forget what they said or who they knew.
sorry about saying that two times my pc froze
I'm happy I don't live in America……….. oh wait.
I'm happy I don't live in America……….. oh wait.

i thought the world of the year was imbecile
I think the word of the year is really fitting and I also think I don't have to be the only who isn't going to whine about this blog.
I agree. Further, regardless of whether the cop was black or white, the truth is that he shot Michael. The issue of racism does not relate to him being afraid to disobey the cop. Perhaps he did not want to bow down to the white cop. We do not know what happened except that the boy died at the hands of the cop and he cannot give his side of the story.
Excuse me, but it's only the middle of November. There's still 13% of the year left. Could something drastic happen in these next six weeks that could push "exposure" off the charts – of course there is.
'X of the year' should NEVER be published, IMHO, until after the 25th of December.
you're posting in a forum full of trolls and teenagers and somehow managed to leave the least valuable of all the comments on this article. congrats

seresily the word the years is Ebola ! That's just so stupid, I would think the word would be more , series .
The word of the year is not Ebola. The word of the year is EXPOSURE. Ebola is just one of the many, many reasons why…
And you "seresily" need to learn to spell. Ebola does not describe our year. Exposure does; people get exposed to ebola and various other acts of exposure happened throughout the year.
"Intolerance" also flourished – or "anti" as a prefix: anti-gay, anti-abortion, anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, anti-Moslem, anti Christian, anti-women anti-Obamacare….the list is endless.

[…] Ebola. Ferguson, Mo. Ray Rice. ISIS. Data breaches. Nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence. The editors and lexicographers at Dictionary.com see all these people and places that drove the news in 2014 connected through a single word: exposure, their pick for 2014′s word of the year. […]

While it is extremely sad that Michael Brown lost his life, he was not the innocent teenager as the media has portrayed him to be. Minimal "exposure" was given to the fact that Michael used his size and strength to bully the clerk in the store where Michael had stolen some items. When the clerk tried to stop him, the clerk was physically threatened. While we don't know what actually happened between the officer and Michael, Michael's belligerence toward the store clerk speaks volumes–once a bully, always a bully. This is not a race issue, but rather a character issue. Irrespective of Michael's skin color, he chose wrong over right. If there was really rampant, and true racism in Ferguson, Michael would have been afraid to disobey a white cop. It's obvious that Michael was not afraid. The actual racism in Ferguson is being perpetrated by the protesters who are trying to crucify a cop because he is white. The media seems to be too afraid to "expose" that!
That is so true Susan. There is too much propaganda in the media these days.
P.S. Monsterdog9 learn how to spell. That was atrocious.
"once a bully, always a bully"
Yeah, no. People change.
Exactly. Thank you Juan.
So true. The race card needs to be finally played the other way. Who is the minority? People paying their taxes, doing the right thing and working hard. The black vs white race thing is a media-hyped joke.
I agree. Further, regardless of whether the cop was black or white, the truth is that he shot Michael. The issue of racism does not relate to him being afraid to disobey the cop. Perhaps he did not want to bow down to the white cop. We do not know what happened except that the boy died at the hands of the cop and he cannot give his side of the story.

Dear Juan and Wetzer,
People don't change within minutes of having bullied someone! Michael's propensity for bullying was, unfortunately, part of his character.
The ONLY way that people can truly change sinful behavior is through the power of the Holy Spirit AFTER they have repented of their sin. Repentance means to turn away from wrong-doing; to right-doing.
Dear Juan and Wtzer,
People don't change within minutes of bullying someone. Michael's propensity for bullying was, unfortunately, part of his character.
The only way people can truly change negative behavior is by the power of the Holy Spirit AFTER they have repented of their sin. Repentance means to turn away from wrong-doing and turn to right-doing—it's an attitude of the heart.
I guess it was worth repeating…
Love you guys!
I'm sorry, did you just say that a college-bound young man threatening a store clerk (even though he was unarmed) deserves the death penalty? Additionally, the Ferguson PD long ago admitted that Michael Brown had nothing whatsoever to do with the theft, and that they were lying the whole time to cover it up. An autopsy performed by one of the best in the nation found that Michael Brown had his hands raised when he was shot. It's a fact that race was a key factor in Brown's death–please do not deny this.
Well written Susan.
I think an antonym of expose would be a better choice for 2014. Expose only works in a negative connotation, e.g. – the public will not be exposed to a version of the Ferguson case that is not politically correct.
Seems like everyday we learn more about what wasn't exposed in ObamaCare.
The media didn't "expose" anything which didn't fit their agenda.
Sadly 2014 was more about what was hidden.
Good one, J.P.!
I understand where you're coming from and I do agree with some of what you are saying. However, Michael obeying or disobeying the white officer nor his fear of the white officer have anything to do with racism. Michael would have no knowledge of this white officers agenda nor his racial preferences and opinions. Therefore, Michael would not know if the white officer was or was not prejudice and decide to obey him based on that fact. I acknowledge Michael made a poor decision in stealing and intimidating the store clerk and I would never condone that behavior, however people do make mistakes, especially in their youth and I can't bring myself to say that those particular incidents justify death.
you say it is a character issue and not a racist thing but how do you know? You automatically think he was a bully because of his size? If you are not African-american or of some other minority you do not understand the struggles of our culture like every time you walk in the store people assume that your stealing or just some other "ghetto" black person there have been many white officers killing black people but Micheal brown is one of the few that got recognized. The bottom line is he did not deserved to be killed. Nobody does. Also I bet your opinion would change if that was your son. African -American people are tired of being abused and our voices not being heard to many events have not been justified like a young black male asking a white officer why he is getting pulled over but the officer never replied he just broke his car window and tased him in front of his kids. You want us to stop judging white officers and assuming about them, then tell them to stop doing evil things in front of children and mabey they won't grow up hating white police officers.
Children, children, children– I must forgive you for being so obtuse–"He that has an ear, let him hear."
I never said that Michael deserved a "death penalty," Selena. I am truly sad that he died, and as a mother of sons, I grieve for Michael's mother. But, we are all responsible for our choices, and sometimes there are unexpected consequences for our choices. Whether or not Michael was college-bound has no bearing whatsoever on the events of that day.
Furthermore, Selena, what you are calling facts are just conjecture. The Grand Jury has not yet determined whether there is enough evidence to even bring charges against the officer, but you, and others have already tried and convicted him. If the Grand Jury decides to indict, there will be a trial, & any evidence presented will become part of the public record. Until, then please stop pre-judging. I hope you never fall victim to this "lynch mob" way of thinking and acting—you know the kind that is now threatening the Grand Jury with violence if they fail to indict the officer.
Lalesha, I was trying to point out that IF racism was/is rampant in Ferguson, Michael would have been afraid of the possible consequences for disobeying a "white officer." I think Michael's belligerence worked against him that day, but he absolutely did not deserve to die for his misdeed(s). As I previously stated, sometimes there are unexpected consequences for our choices. Some consequences are more tragic than others—Michael's death is a prime example of that.
Dear "Get your facts straight," I wish that you would "practice what you preach." Michael's size did not make him a bully, but he clearly used his size to intimidate that clerk; did you actually see the video clip? Michael's propensity for bullying revealed a flaw in his character. Regardless of our backgrounds, there is never an excuse to choose wrong-doing over right-doing.
Thank God that Dr. King did not espouse your way of thinking. In fact, your way of thinking and justifying wrong-doing is an insult to his memory. He would be ashamed of you! I firmly believe in personal accountability. I don't make excuses for my wrong-doing, and I don't tolerate self-justification in others, either.
As my sons were approaching their teen years, I reminded them about obeying the "Law of the Land" (based on Bible teaching with which they were quite familiar). I also told them that if they ever did break the law that I would personally turn them in to the authorities. My sons knew from experience that I meant what I said. Happily, that scenario was never played out.
GYFS, there's one more thing I'd like to address—police officers are only human; humans err—skin color has nothing to do with it! Our police men and women put their lives on the line every day, trying to uphold the law and protect law-abiding citizens. Many are killed or maimed in the line of duty. Hate against cops or anyone is outright SIN! In fact, Jesus equated "hate" with "murder." Dr. King preached the love of God, and only God's love shed abroad in our hearts can remove hate, and other sins FROM our hearts & minds.. "A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of." Luke 6:45 (NIV) Let us all allow God to purify our hearts.
boo exposure!It should be interrobang!
If everyone would just shut up about race, then future generations wouldn't even notice nor care. Nationality is what should be important, and seeing as we are all American, we in theory should be united and able to work together. That isn't the case however, we are more of a stew than a melting pot. I think their are too manner cases of racial profiling on all ends and it's bs. Also, just want to say that it's annoying when someone says that a white person is "acting black" or a black person is "acting white" what does that mean exactly? If a white person grew up in the same neighborhood as a black person, isn't it possible they have the same culture? Just saying, people always like to be the victim but lets get proactive about this and strive for peace, damn.
I'm black btw, just to tack that on to give some perspective…oh, and let me go ahead and apologize for those grammatical errors above. Just gonna nip that in the bud…yep, I think that's all I got. *drops mic*
Don't worry about any errors, Oni; it's all good. BTW, I thought all of us humans were different shades of beige.
Well said, Oni. We adults need to have the innocence of babies and little children; they're "color blind" until prejudiced adults pollute their minds.
I was right there with you until you said "nationality is what should be important". The blind worship of "nationality" has been responsible for so many atrocities in the past and inhibits us from reaching mutual peace and understanding with the rest of the people on this planet. I agree that it's important for a nation to work together, but it should do so to bring goodness to the world in general as well as its own people. Love of "nationality" is part of what keeps North Koreans indoctrinated and allowed German citizens to buy into Hitler's propaganda. We do not, in fact, bleed red, white, and blue, and no one should unquestioningly adulate his country just because they play the national anthem before sports events. People in other countries have the same capacity for intelligence, emotion, kindness, evil, and hatred as we do; we are all people.
