strikebackusa presents StrikebackUSA – The Politics of Race posted at Strikeback, saying, “A Valentines Day treat for Americans! Headlines are showing Hillary Clinton’s campaign is in turmoil. There have been shakeups in the upper echelon of Clinton’s campaign staff. From the Wall Street Journal’s Monica Langley and Amy Chozick:

Some Hispanic leaders had written to Mrs. Clinton that it would be “troubling to many” if Ms. Solis Doyle, the first Latina to run a presidential campaign, was removed because of primary losses that were other people’s fault. The campaign urged Ms. Solis Doyle, whose parents and siblings emigrated from Mexico, to state publicly that she wasn’t forced out. Ms. Solis Doyle told reporters: “This is my decision, my choice; my timing….There was no pressure.”
I feel your pain hermano.
Some American taxpayers have said it would be troubling for many if she became president. Hillary would be the first opaque Marxist Anti-American to be running for president it would be right if she lost the nomination.
Clinton cannot even rearrange the chairs on the Titanic that is her campaign without first bowing to the forces of political correctness. Why shouldn’t Clinton be able to ask someone to step down? If Solis Doyle is not getting the desired results is that not reason enough? Hillary has fought for the right’s of the under qualified all of her adult life. Should she not now have to taste the bitter fruit that she was instrumental in planting? Can you say poetic justice?”

Michael Bass presents Guns and The Power of Free People posted at Debt Prison, saying, “Currently America is divided on the issue of gun control.

The massacres we have witnessed at Virginia Tech, Northern Illinois University, and other institutions are a result of the ongoing legal conflict surrounding the gun control issue.”
