Closing Thought–20Feb18
Earlier today I wrote a post about the protests that are being lead by the kids of the school that suffered the attack….in case you missed my post……..

Sorry for beating you about head with this subject but this is something that needed to be posted.
I am writing another one because of something I read after my article was posted……I was wondering in the post how long it would take for the pigs on the right to start attacking these children…..well to answer my question….not long at all…..
CNN viewers on Tuesday demanded that the network fire conservative contributor Jack Kingston after he suggested that students who survived the mass shooting in Parkland, Florida were being organized by liberal activists.
During an interview on CNN, Kingston asserted that students organizing for gun safety laws were being “hijacked by left-wing groups that have an agenda.”
“I would say to you very plainly that organized groups that are out there like George Soros are always ready to take up the charge, and it’s kind of like instant rally, instant protest and those groups are ready to take it — take it to the streets,” he added.
The remarks outraged CNN viewers, who wondered why Kingston was given a platform to speak on CNN. Some viewers called on the network to terminate the former Republican congressman.
A douche bag knows no limits……brings to question how much does this person owe the NRA to prompt him to attack children?
This man (I use the term loosely) needs to be made to be the face of the protests……he illustrates the Trumpian mindset….if you do not agree then insult…..it is tacky and shameful but pathetic mostly.
Damn! How low will these people (and I use this term loosely also) go?
Gun lobby and big money rules, chuq. That’s a given.
Best wishes, Pete.
Wish it wasn’t so but as long s we let them call the shots we will toads like this guy…..chuq
Trumpian mindset indicates that Trump and like-minded people wanted this massacre to happen. You couldn’t possibly mean THAT!?!
Nope I am referring to the insults for those that they do not agree with….chuq
I figured that, but I wanted to let you know how it sounds out here.
Thanx for the heads up I appreciate it….chuq
Yeah, I watched that too. Jack Kingston can get a bit whacked at times.. but sadly he reflects the mainstream Trumpian apologists. It’s does get kinda humorous when CNN brings Jack into a panel with anti-Trump people and they just slam him down.. but he hangs in there… and he keeps showing up for the CNN paycheck to be the “alternative side” that gets beat up when the talking heads panels need some balance. 🙂
He sounds like a masochist….or he is just too dumb to know what he says…..either way he is a d/bag….chuq
he suggested that students who survived the mass shooting in Parkland, Florida were being organized by liberal activists.
He has no idea. I was a high school teacher for 33 years. People would be astonished at what teenagers can do to organize an effort for community service and community awareness. Often the political support follows and a national movement can begin just as is happening here but the impetus came from a group of teenagers texting and uniting and the effort becomes infectious. We have to empower ourselves. This shows it is possible.
I agree with you totally, Carl.
I agree…I remember the students in the 70’s think what they could have accomplished with a social media back then….chuq
BTW chuq.. just finished an eight part posting on how I completely solve the gun problem.. well, sort of. 🙂

Thanx for the heads up….I will stop by after I finish this research I am in the middle of confusing myself….LOL chuq
You do not joke…8 parts….this will be a slow go for me….hang in there I will get to them…..chuq
Take the damn laptop into the bathroom.. good to concentrate on. 🙂
The only silence in the house….the “Oval Office” LOL chuq
Sorry to be D.A., but isnt unpopular speech precisely what the 1st Amendment protects? I see this tragedy as a failure of society to miss Cruz’s cues; he had made abt 30 verbal or written terroristic threats. Sadly, the authorities failed to respond by oressing charges fir these, and his need for mental healthcare. Thanks!
