Detroit,.........Nicely Done Democrats!
Detroit, a city under one party rule - Democrats - for the last 51 years, is now bankrupt with more than $20 Billion in the hole. A case of Democrat politicians driving businesses and the tax base away through negligence in managing. To be sure the Unions and their gold plated benefits and retirement plans are to blame as well, as well as generations of local corrupt politicans. Bit in the grand scheme of things, Detroit’s Bankruptcy Was Destined to Happen.
The below is commentary by a former Detroit resident, Sandra Snow, posted on Yahoo.
I have not lived in Detroit for many years. I left the city three days after being mugged in front of where I lived. That was in 1981. The building was razed to make way for nothing but open fields, along with dozens of others in a neighborhood not far from the decaying gentility of wealthy Indian Village. That abandonment of mine, which matched the abandonment of thousands fleeing the city, foretold this day was coming.
It was a great city once. That apartment building I lived in spoke to its former grandeur. It had marble floors and stairs in the lobby and hardwood floors in every apartment. All of that grandeur from the earlier part of the century is gone. The days of Henry Ford and automation, which gave unskilled workers decent-paying factory jobs, are gone. With those lost jobs, so went tax base of the city.
Am I surprised that this bankruptcy is the result of years automotive decline, high unemployment, high crime, and some -- of course not all -- corrupt mayors and officials who were going to enrich themselves at the expense of the city's residents? I didn't need a psychic to predict this. When officials are corrupt, and everyone knows it and tolerates it, morals in general decline, and crime skyrockets. The attitude of everyone becomes, "I am going to get mine, let other people get theirs," so a great institution like Detroit was bound to fall.
I still visited the city after leaving and still will. It has one of the great art museums of the country. It has an equally impressive and beautiful public library. It has a botanical garden and aquarium on Belle Isle, and a great ball park in Comerica Park. The sculptures alone in downtown Detroit are impressive. So much is right about Detroit that the city is worth saving, and I hope it can somehow be restored to its former greatness. It needs the management of someone who not only sees what it was like, but also who sees what it could become.

Helen Thomas, Obama and Jim Carrey - In The News 20 July 2013
Helen Thomas dies. Good Riddance. She is most famous for her racism against Israel (she is of Lebanese descent) highlighted by this quote: "Tell them (Israel) to get the hell out of Palestine,.....Remember, these people are occupied and it's their land. It's not Germany, it's not Poland." When Wrinkle Faced Thomas was asked where they (Israelis) should go, she answered, "They should go home." When asked where's home, Thomas replied: "Poland, Germany and America and everywhere else."
An on-line report on her career and death said that after she quit UPI in 2000 — by then an outsized figure in a shrunken organization — her influence waned. I would re-word that to say "a shrunken figure in a outsized organization,............".
Jim Carrey twitting anti-violence messages with one hand, cashing large checks for his violence laden movie with the other. Carrey made news recently when he twitted that he could e would not stand behind his violent comic-book film "Kick-Ass 2," because of the violent conten, in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary murders.
Carrey's "Kick Ass 2" co-star, John Leguizamo, said (in part) "He's entitled to think whatever he's thinking, (but) I just don't understand. When did you realize the movie was violent? I mean, didn't you see the first one? Didn't you read the script? I know you must have read the script! I don't understand."
We like to add that if Carrey feels so bad for his violent film, then we suggest he donates his proceeds to the families of the Sandy Hook murders. Some how we don't think he'll take us up on this suggestion.
Barack Obama President Barack Obama, making his first public remarks on the George Zimmerman acquittal, said on Friday that many African-Americans believe that “both the outcome and the aftermath might have been different” if Trayvon Martin had been white.
Mr President, you perpetuate that thinking in your significant efforts to influence public opinion, influence the State of Florida in the needless prosecution of Geroge Zimmerman, and inflame racial overtones through your rethoric when you said "You know, when Trayvon Martin was first shot, I said that this could have been my son.” Then you further said "And for those who resist that idea—that we should think about something like these 'stand your ground' laws—I just ask people to consider: If Trayvon Martin was of age and armed, could he have stood his ground on that sidewalk?"
Well, Mr President, I'm not going to let you get away with re-inventing the facts. Stand your ground was not the issue. Defneidng your life against possible death or grave bodily injury was. Trayvon Martin did not stand his ground....that was part of the problem. He closed with Zimmerman and assaulted him, that was the other half of the problem.

Sons of Goats and Pigs
مقطع لم ولن تشاهدو ا بمثل بشاعته شاهدوا يا عرب وشاهدوا يا مسلمين This is Arabic for "we are son's of goats and pigs, who torture and kill defenseless prisoners who are also son's of goats and pigs." It really doesn't matter which group the guy on the ground belongs to and which group the thugs belong to.
Another example of the Jihadist's beliefs is the recent interview of the Taliban commander in Pakistan who commented on shooting the (then) 15 year old girl in the head. This Taliban asshole apologized not for shooting the girl, but not for "warning her" that they were about to shoot her in the head......So far all you liberal ass hats who think we can negotiate with these non-humans,...go pound sand. Oh, and a question for you: Where is your outrage over daily events such as shown in the below video?
