Zimmerman not guilty, how we know

The shooting death of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman was not a hate crime.  How do I know this? Let me explain...

A jury of 6 impartial jurors was hand picked in agreement by the prosecution and the defense.  These 6 women sat through days worth of eye witness testimony, first hand accounts,  recordings, and investigator and expert testimony.  It was their sole job to determine if they could find a reasonable doubt to show that George Zimmerman killed Trayvon in hateful malice, or if in fact he shot for the purpose of defending himself from "great bodily harm".

It would have been easy for them to assume that Zimmerman was a hot headed racist vigilante who just wanted to kill a black kid, but fortunately juries are sequestered and shielded from the main stream media and the racial activists who have stoked tensions,  even as Trayvon 's parents call for calm.

I'm sure it was very difficult for the jury to admit that killing a 17 year old young man was justified.  But after painstakingly sitting through every shred of evidence they were compelled to admit that Zimmerman was justified in pulling the trigger.

It's tough being a conservative republican these days...

Okay,  so at first I was upset specifically at Obama for duping the majority of average (politics-clueless) 'Joe Public', who simply wants to vote for nice sounding promises like "hope" and "change" and "fairness & equality & balance" in every law they'll pass.

Then I became upset at the democrats for supporting Obama's far left agenda of mass-socializing  healthcare, increasing American's taxes and the debt that American's owe,  growing the size, scope, and power of government while further restricting American's rights and liberties, and covering for the administration amidst scandals that cost us American's their privacy and even some lives (Benghazi - RIP Ambassador Stevens, others). 

And now at this point, I've become upset with the republicans too.  They have forgotten how to communicate conservative/libertarian principles in a compassionate way that can be understood clearly by the (politics-clueless) 'Joe Public'.  I appreciate that all republicans came together to oppose wasteful ineffective "stimulus" and "affordable care" policies too, but they need to also be loud and clear about offering positive alternatives that benefit all americans, regardless of their race, etc.

Simplify the messaging of why conservative & libertarian principles are best for society.
 
"Democrats encourage you to depend on the government, Republicans encourage you to be independent.  Which would you prefer for you and your able-bodied loved ones?". 

Things like this drive the message from an average guy perspective. 

"Shouldn't we constantly work to keep abortions only to situations where they're safe, rare, and as early in the pregnancy as possible to avoid unnecessary pain and suffering to the baby and mother?"

"Shouldn't the government constantly work to find ways to cut costs and expenses so that we don't place undue tax & debt burdens on the average Americans and businesses?"

Lower taxes and smaller government lead to more money and freedom for all Americans.
