So much wrong here, period, take a look at the pictures; for what, 62 slots and they can only come up with this. Was more like a protest in Kenya at the capitol mall, people demanding, “we wants mores…you’s owes us!”

You can bet President Amabo the Black National Regime leader and political class is going to put on more stuff like this up to and after the November election.

You think the crowd would be as large if they were handing out employment applications for entry-level, minimum wage jobs?

Just askin’.

so.. umm... i work... and am forced to take 50% of what i earn, 66% next year, and give it to the government... who will take 50-60% of it and give it to other people... to pay for their homes, food, cell phones, broadband, etc

of course, those people are able to stop spending their money on such things... thereby being able to buy more booze, drugs, and cigarettes

since when was i supposed to work to pay other peoples bills???

You have to realize that this meant 30,000 people HAD NOTHING PRODUCTIVE TO DO this morning, or yesterday, and so on.

Sad.

No wonder they vote for more handouts; it’s what they know. And there are few REAL jobs in that area.

Ever watch the opening scene in Blackhawk Down?

Today is't housing. Tomorrow it's food.

Even if there were jobs, do you think these people would be working?

Since regular folks decided being called an R-word was the worst thing ever.

You WILL fork over the lion's share of your income for redistribution. You WILL not complain when you have to feed them. You WILL not complain when you have to pay to house them in YOUR own neighborhood.

Buckle up, folks.

Some “Great Society”, eh Lyndon? And no. I don’t want to see your scar OR see you pick up your dog by the ears.

Actually I think many (OK some) would. Every summer I do construction mission work in poor/rough neighborhoods. That means of course the residents are identifiably ‘black.’ Many of the folks there ARE losers. But many are just hopeless. Their neighborhood sucks. Their schools suck. Their lives suck. AND there are FEW jobs of real meaning within 30 minutes. It’s really no wonder they respond to a message like Obama’s.

I’ve worked with ‘families’ that are fourth and fifth generation no-job-I-live-in-the projects. They CANNOT see a bright future. They simply DO NOT have the values we wish they would have to be productive in a high-tech society. AND they have people there telling them it’s your and my fault. We try to do our part to spread the Gospel, spread some love, and add a touch of real hope.

... and this summer we wouldn’t let the kids sleep in the top bunks by the windows in case random rounds came through the windows of the school we were quartered in. (none did, although someone DID empty a small caliber revolver real close by).

I’m pretty sure there’s a passage in the Bible that says something about casting pearls before swine.

I was trying to but they all seem so diverse. Maybe someone can figure it out with a multi million dollar grant. There must be a thread of connection here someplace.

Yes, umbrellas. It’s stinking hot down here. You don’t want to be in the sun for long when it’s pushing 100 and so humid you could swim home. Bring shade if you have to.

The other side of that car no longer has rims, wheels or side panels.

I tried helping a poor family once, going to their home and repairing furniture.
While there one of the girls came and asked me if I had some plastic sheets to cover a window because they had just torn out the screen.
I finished up, left, and have had no interest in helping such self-destructive people again.
