We have now developed an urban badlands which is national and troubling because of the incredible numbers of people who are murdered or suffer the physical and psychological effects of violent crime. Our presidential candidates are quick on the draw when asked about the war on terror or homeland security, but the American people have not heard a peep from them about the concrete killing fields of our cities.

Wow. Very dramatic.
As long as the liberal attitude currently predominant in government and media endures - that overlooking criminal activity by young urban black males is a suitable remedy for past discrimination - this problem is not solvable.

The 2008 election should be about security issues only.
The War On Terror
The War in Iraq
Border Security
Gang Eradication
Urban Crime
We can’t deal with any of the political issues until the security situation has been resolved...
Wait a minute, where have I heard that one before?
This is a situation of blacks killing blacks, in black neighborhoods, in black cities, with black mayors, black police chiefs and black school superintendants.
And the only way that the problem can be stated is: "It's whitey's fault". And you will be pilloried if you state the problem in any other way.
So who's gonna sign up for that debate??
What Urban Crime ?
Democrats passed Midnight Basketball back when Clinton was president and Louie Farrakan had his Million Man March
Didn’t that solve the problem ????????????
In Democrat bastion cities. With their LibTard “Good Intentions”. The criminal, the perverse elements, aqre coddled and rewarded for turning the cities into Demo-Rat warrens.
What people look around their neighborhood and think the country needs to wake up? How about local control?
So who's gonna sign up for that debate??
We're afraid to even debate it?
Right on!!!! And, in 2002, we had the most blatent attempt to overthrow a legal US election since Chicago Mayor Daly found enough dead bodies to swing the vote in favor of Kennedy over Nixon in 1961. But isn’t reducing the US to a third world non entity exactly with the Demcraps want?
Damn right. A hurricane hit New Orleans, and the message went out "George Bush hates black people".
If a Republican were to say that urban crime is based on sociological factors stemming from the behavior of people living in urban areas, and that cultural changes need to be made in order to tone down the violence -- talk like that would be trumpeted as "The Klan Reborn".
I'll wait for the Democrats to clean up the cities. I moved out 10 years ago, and nowadays I don't even visit. It's not my problem.
Sure seems that way, doesn't it? And the Repubs aren't all a whole lot better.

High school dropouts will be underemployed. Period.
MSM needs to start a daily body count from the 50 largest metro areas.
Tancredo is (on one level, anyway), but he’s about the only one.
We are being converted to a third world nation. It is not accidental.
No kiddin !
Until law enforcement gets the support of the black and Hispanic communities this disgusting scenario will continue. These communities have decided that it is more likely that their offspring will be perpetrators than victims. Of course, liberals nourish this perverse insanity. OJ, call your office.
Well! Steeling a line from Golda Mier: Blacks will solve their problems when they learn to love their children as much as they hate Republicans.
Maybe they need more laws. Yeah, that's the ticket!

Unless and until people are allowed to defend themselves against predators of any stripe without recrimination, this will only get worse.
We can't. Women and minorities would be disproportionately affected.
And who teaches black americans to hate their families and their children???...DemoLiberals and their Hollwood socialist propagandizing comrades. Not to mention the Hate America
First pinko infiltrators in our educational system.
Local control caused the problems to start with. Every big city is run by RATS or liberal RINO’s.
I vote that the FED’s end every dime of support for cities and force them to pay for the problems they created and control.
The answer is gun control well actually, trigger control, the residents of these high crime areas need to be granted concealed carry, get some training in trigger control so they can plug 3 or 4 .45’s into the gangsta’s center of mass each time they see a violent crime.
Nope. Can't do that, it makes too much sense. I never leave home without my two S & W 38's {for which I have a CCW}. When I enter a mall, I have the "snubby" tucked in a pocket. You never know when you'll need protection, and it better not be in the glove box in your car.
S & W 38’s
Perfect answer, looks like you and I have solved the crime problem for ourselves and families. Can’t stop a wheelie from going boom, especially if it’s a hammerless airweight!
I agree with your second paint. Revenue sharing has made our cities basket cases. They asked for it, to be sure, but it has been a disaster otherwise known as the black community.
My plank on this:
Immediately suspend posse comitatus, send in the marines into the inner city neighborhoods, and clean out the nests. By and large enforcement knows who these worms are, just need to let them go get them.
I am sick of seeing a few hundred animals holding thousands of decent folks hostage.
Not exactly right. A hurricane MISSED New Orleans.
Katrina was only a Category 3 Hurricane when it MISSED New Orleans - so NO only felt the effects of say a CAT 2 storm. Still, it shows how the Democrats ran that whole mess.
They have local control but they aren’t forced to pay for their irresponsible actions with that control.
Civilization is in retreat in many places around the globe. The collapse of American civilization began in our inner cities and appears to be spreading inexorably outwards.
The brutality and crime stem from a cultural shortfall, indeed failing, in our urban areas. No president can bring a social revival and yet that is exactly what is needed in order to turn things around (if that is even possible).
How dare you choose to live in a safe place? It's not fair! Even the British are beginning to assess taxes against people who live in safe neighborhoods. The liberal approach in the USA is to build low income housing in the middle of a nice, high end neighborhood. Just to make it fair. Fill it with drug addled criminals so those high and mighty folks in the nice house get to see how the other half lives. Bring in a few burglars, rapists and pedophiles just for good measure.
