Zimmerman Charged With 2nd Degree Murder Maybe Will Now Have To Prove His Innocence...

...and yes I know that in most criminal cases you are presumed innocent until proven guilty and so will be Zimmerman. Yet, he has been charged with 2nd Degree Murder and he has been claiming self defense. If he continues to claim self-defense, then yes - he probably will be obligated to prove that it was self defense. The burden of proof as to a claim of self defense is that of the person making the claim. It is called an Affirmative Defense. Of course, if the this falls through, the prosecutor does not get a freebie and still has to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Zimmerman is guilty. The thing is, if the self defense claim falls apart, it will be pretty much a given that Zimmerman will be found guilty of something even if not the current top charge against him - 2nd Degree Murder.

And to think, almost all of the national outcry over this may have been fanned into a flaming frenzy by a media employee who edited the tape of the 911 call to make it seem as if Zimmerman had targeted Martin because of race! The outrage I feel over that single fact has me seething, screw the mud slinging media.

Voting Catholics May Be What Is Needed To Help Defeat Obama

I was raised Catholic. Right now I am pretty much an agnostic at best. I have not practiced the Catholic faith in many years although I will admit to stopping in a church now and again. Heck, even when I went through my cancer I did not even think of turning to the Catholic faith or any other. I maybe said one or two 'if there is a god please watch over my family type of prayer' but that was it, I said none for myself. That is changing though, I my consider returning to the Church. If not, then I am thinking of at least supporting the Church if not actually becoming a practicing Catholic again. Why? Because of all this stuff with the health care bill and birth control being forced upon the Church by way of them being an employer that will be required to supply health care including birth control.

After having watched the embedded video, I have to agree with the Church that the upcoming elections need people to get out to vote. If the message in the video was not clear enough for you, allow me to say it outright - VOTE AGAINST PRESIDENT OBAMA AND VOTE FOR THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE! One can only hope and pray that as many Catholics as possible see the video. The Church is a powerful force with many members in the USA, many among them registered voters. If they push this enough, it may wind up having been exactly what was needed to turn the tide, to get Obama out of office.

Obama Has Secretely Signed Law Making Some Protests A Felony

This is some crazy stuff. We truly are under the thumb of a tyrant, I no longer have any doubt of it. If president Obama is reelected we stand to lose every Constitutional Freedom we currently enjoy and some of us maybe even our lives trying to defend those freedoms. I say that because I am pretty convinced that should he be reelected there will be a revolution in this country within the next couple to few years at most. He and his rights smashing agenda need to be stopped once and for all, so vote and make certain you do your best to encourage others to vote against him (not for a third party candidate, not for a mustang, but for the Republican Party's candidate). Otherwise I fear we are doomed to a change for the worse, in America, like we have never seen before.
