Congressman John Lewis: Obama must declare "martial law" in Ferguson MO

John Lewis On Ferguson: 'Declare Martial Law' By Alex Lazar Posted: 08/14/2014 1:52 pm EDT Civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) called on President Barack Obama to declare martial law in Ferguson, Missouri, where police and protesters have clashed after a police officer shot and killed unarmed black teenager Michael Brown on Saturday. "It is very sad and unbelievable. It's unreal to see what the police is doing there," Lewis said in a Thursday interview with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell. "First of all, Ferguson, Missouri, is part of the United States of America. People have a right to protest. They have a right to dissent. They have a right to march in an orderly, peaceful, nonviolent fashion. And the press has a right to cover it." Lewis, whose skull was fractured by police during the 1965 march over the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, told Mitchell that the situation in Ferguson reminds him of "the '40s, the '50s, the '60s," pointing to the dearth of black officers on the St. Louis suburb's police force. "So my own feeling, right now, is that President Obama should use the authority of his office to declare martial law. Federalize the Missouri National Guard to protect people as they protest," Lewis said. "And people should come together. Reasonable elected officials, community leaders and address what is happening there." He continued: "If we fail to act, the fires of frustration and discontent will continue to burn, not only in Ferguson, Missouri, but all across America."

Define "liberal." Define "conservative." Or shut up. You're ignoring this because you don't want to face reality, but reality - like this question - tends to make its presence known whether you want it or not.

Like I said, you would not believe me if I told you. "Liberal" = Marxist/collectivist/national-socialist/antisemitic, and "conservative" = the opposite of all of that. You going to call John Lewis "far right" too? LMAO!

Unfortunately, you haven't shown any indication that you're familiar with any of those other words you used. So now: Define "Marxist." Define "collectivist." Define "national-socialist." Define "antisemitic." Define "conservative." (Declaring it to be "the opposite" of a complex philosophy isn't actually a definition.)
