IIRC, this was the city that gave Obama a big win in that state.

Yes but they sound perfect for 0bama's civilian corps (pronounced corpse) WITH ALL the funding of the military.

Undisciplined, fat and stupid. At least it will be hard for Der Führer to whip them into enough shape to use against us.

Obviously a cesspool of fat, lazy, NASCAR watching, armchair right wing tea-partyiers. Stinking GOP dumbing everyone down and making them fat criminals.

Not a problem. If they’re queer they’ll be able to get in soon enough if ADM Mullen has his way.

The report says 145,000 Philadelphians ages 18 to 24 cannot meet the military's medical, moral and mental standards.

I interpret that to mean that in this democratic enclave paradise they are so corrupt, so stupid and so fat they rely on the youth of the rest of the country for their defense and survival. The same is probably true, to a similar degree, of Detroit, Cleveland, Boston, Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle, Denver, Chicago, DC on and on.

They are unfit to serve but combined they have enough population to determine the outcome of any national election. Their electoral choices perpetuate their lifestyles and ruin the rest of the country.

This is the city that the big lefty Pew foundation was setup to educate. It says something about how your intent can be changed.

These Philly people who are 90% not fit for the military vote. Guess who they vote for? Pennsylvania would be a great state WITHOUT Philly!

lack of education

My guess is that this means they cannot read at some basic level.

Well, I’m sure it must be Bush’s fault. He made them be fat, uneducated, thugs.
I’m sure their parent had nothing to do with it.

criminal records, obesity or lack of education.

Criminal Record? bbbzzzzzzzzzzzzt! No go.

Obesity and lack of education? Obesity can be fixed in boot camp (even a month long remediation prior to boot). Lack of education? Might actually HELP the military. Not so much to de-program.

Hey, let's face facts, were talking 0300's here. Not Aviator's.

Take a ride through York, Lebanon, Harrisburg and then spin up to East Stroudsburg and Allentown. I know there are a lot more but those are the ones I know about directly.

P.S. I forgot Chester and Norristown.

Yes, Buffalo Bore is preferred. Performs like a 41 Remington Magnum. Guaranteed to sterilize all things that are ghetto related.

I'm thinking that maybe they could serve in Obama’s Civilian Defense Corp. You know, the one he wants to create because “he can no longer count on our military”...

If any foreign nation wants to take over America, they only need to make a promise to these people to continue their entitlement payments and cable TV and there will be no problems at all.

Did I really need a sarc tag?

Filthydelphia has been held down by unions and Dims for decades. They are the next Detroit.

And yet

at each election cycle

all the brilliant urbanites can ask is,

“Which OTHER leftist Democrat should we elect to fix these problems [the other leftist Democrats cause]?”

Wonder if these boys can hold an M-14 sideways and hit the target. Oh, wait. Holding your weapon sideway makes bullets go around the corner. I forgot. And if you run while shooting, the bullets come out faster.

Sorry. In the real world you wouldn't, but in this country's divided populace, it is not a bad idea to identify one's self upfront, even on FR.
