Akron police say they aren’t ready to call it a hate crime.
It came after a family night of celebrating America and freedom with a fireworks show at Firestone Stadium. Marshall, his family and two friends were gathered outside a friend’s home in South Akron.

But to Marty Marshall, his wife and two kids, it seems pretty clear.

Out of nowhere, the six were attacked by dozens of teenage boys, who shouted ”This is our world” and ”This is a black world” as they confronted Marshall and his family.

The Marshalls, who are white, say the crowd of teens who attacked them and two friends June 27 on Girard Street numbered close to 50. The teens were all black.

     It seems that it is becoming a sin to acquire wealth. Those who have acquired it, and are in power to legislate social reforms, now believe that the wealthy must foot the bill for ObamaCare:

WASHINGTON – House Democrats working on President Barack Obama’s goal of health legislation are narrowing in on an income tax surcharge on the highest-paid wage earners to help subsidize insurance for the 50 million people who lack it.

Pushing to complete a comprehensive health care overhaul plan by Friday and bring it up for committee votes next week, House Democrats abandoned earlier money-raising proposals, including a payroll tax. They met behind closed doors Thursday to fine-tune the details.

The action in the House stood in contrast to the Senate, where Democrats edged away from their goal of passing health care legislation by early August amid heightening partisan controversy over tax increases and a proposed new government role in providing insurance to consumers.

Let’s mourn the real American heroes

Flags flew at half-staff this week in California’s state capitol. No, not for Michael Jackson. For Private First Class Justin Casillas.

Pfc. Casillas died in a jihadi suicide bombing attack on his Army base in eastern Afghanistan on the Fourth of July. While Americans enjoyed fireworks and Hollyweird mourned the “King of Pop” with wretched excess, the family of Pfc. Casillas learned that the 19-year-old paratrooper with the U.S. Army’s Alaska-based 509th Airborne had given his life for his country. His father told the Woodland (Calif.) Daily Democrat that Justin just “wanted to do his part.”

The family has a legacy of service: Casillas’s grandfather served in the Pacific theater during World War II; his father served in Vietnam. But the death of Pfc. Casillas didn’t make front-page headlines. His funeral won’t receive wall-to-wall coverage on cable TV.

Instead, it’s been all-MJ, all night and day: Nurses! Nannies! Doctors! Drug raids! Custody battles! Casket rides!

Jacko fever spread to the Beltway, where the House of Representatives held a moment of silence for the entertainer. President Obama sent a highly-publicized letter of condolence to the Jackson family. And topping them all, Texas Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee drafted a 1,600-word congressional resolution that “recognizes Michael Jackson as a global humanitarian and a noted leader in the fight against worldwide hunger and medical crises; and celebrates Michael Jackson as an accomplished contributor to the worlds of arts and entertainment, scientific advances in the treatment of HIV/AIDS, and global food security.”

What is President Obama hiding by keeping the “Long Form” under wraps?:

     We tell our children that is far easier to tell the truth. Mr. President, take a lesson!

     The UPI article on November 4th, 2008 quotes Obama from his book Audacity of Hope, where he states that he was born at Queens Hospital. But, on January 24, 2009, the new President sends a letter to the Kapi’olani Hospital to commemorate their anniversary, and states he was born there.

For the record, George W. Bush was born at Grace-New Haven Community Hospital, New Haven CT. His father, George HW Bush, was born at :

Bill Clinton was born at Julia Chester Hospital in Hope, AR. President Kennedy was born at 83 Beals Street, Brookline MA, and the house still has the bed he was born in.  Ronald Reagan was born in the second floor apartment at 111 S. Main St., Tampico, IL, almost 100 years ago!  The point to this: we have the “records” of the birthplaces of some of our 20th century Presidents, and in the 2st century, in this day of technology, we have no clue where our President was born…… kind of makes you wonder why he isn’t being more forthright!!

WASHINGTON –

The powerful Internet attack that overwhelmed computers at U.S. and South Korean government agencies for days was even broader than initially realized, pestering the White House, the Pentagon and the New York Stock Exchange and shutting down other official Web sites.

Targets of the most widespread cyber offensive of recent years also included the National Security Agency, Homeland Security Department and State Department, the Nasdaq stock market and The Washington Post, according to an early analysis of the malicious software used in the attacks.

The cyber assault on the White House site had “absolutely no effect on the White House’s day-to-day operations,” said spokesman Nick Shapiro.
