During venire, or jury selection, is when both the defense and the prosecution question potential jurors and make choices of whom they believe will be best suited to find a verdict that they are pursuing. Question? Was watching Fox News considered a detriment to the prosecution&#8217;s side because liberals find Fox News to be conservative and not \u201cfair and balanced\u201d as Fox claims? (2.) Also, a note to those bellyaching about the 5:1 ratio of 5 whites to 1 black on the jury, one out of six is not at all off base to represent the black community by percentage of the US population \u2013 because the Zimmerman jury was 16.7% black and according to the 2010 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #0099ff\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: small\">Demographics <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #0099ff\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: small\">of the USA, only 12.6% of the US population is African-American.

Today, in certain corners of the Internet, you are wrong. It&#8217;s Martin who was the true bigot. As <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2013\/07\/16\/cnn_the_embodiment_of_low_information\">Rush Limbaugh<\/a> told listeners Tuesday, &#8220;Zimmerman got beat up because Trayvon thought he was gay.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b><small>RELATED: <\/small><\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatlanticwire.com\/national\/2013\/06\/cameras-courtroom-rachel-jeantel-supreme-court\/66708\/\">America Has Cameras in All the Wrong Courtrooms<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_9_1_19_1374109009959_212\">In an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/tv\/rachel-jeantel-tells-piers-she-and-trayvon-feared-zimmerman-might-be-gay-rapist\/\">interview with CNN&#8217;s Piers Morgan<\/a> on Monday night, Rachel Jeantel said she told Martin to run from George Zimmerman because he might be a rapist, during their phone call in the last minutes of Martin&#8217;s life. &#8220;For every boy or every man who\u2019s not that kind of way, seeing a grown man following them, would they be creeped out?&#8221; she said. This is not new. When Jeantel said the same thing in court in June, it didn&#8217;t make much news\u2014people were focused on her &#8220;creepy-ass cracker&#8221; description of Zimmerman instead of the rape angle. But now, it&#8217;s the main story on the Drudge Report. Limbaugh spent a good part of his radio show talking about it.

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America! You are losing your freedoms, your children and your country.
