By Writer Larry Benjamin of Random Thoughts Blog

She was for years a supporting force in the fight for Democratic values. These values may have been something she learned from her father a life-long Democratic supporter. She knew she was in a minority among the many in her realm of activity but she held firm in her convictions.

that the media in the U.S. lies, she is not very informed.

Is she not aware that the corporate media manipulates the news ???

Is she not aware that a Florida court ruled the news does not have to be truthful or factual ??

If she has access to the internet she should research what is actually happening in Ferguson and all over the U.S.
