BUSHES FAULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

it's what happens when the government puts all the 'feed' in one area....SHAME SHAME SHAME....poor herders for the sheople

they always have the excuse "no one made them stay"

it IS  a pyramid/cast.....no free capitalism there.....is everyone happy with their handlers?


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

It is not all gloom and doom for Detroit.  There are some silver linings in the clouds including some new manufacturing firms setting up shop in the city.  Some neighborhoods are fairing better than others -- like the neighborhoods where my relatives and some friends live.

The demise of Detroit was a long time in the making.  It was definitely well underway in the mid 1970's.  But it was still a great city then.  It was actually a great place to live.  Lots of fun and wonderful memories.  Quite honestly, I wouldn't be adverse to living there again -- even under the current circumstances.  Detroit and Michigan are pretty cool places to live in.  God willing, Detroit will rise again.

What a stupid thing to say.  Skin color has absolutely nothing to do with it.

When the president suggests race affects the justice system, then it would be logical that race affects all of society.  That is the damage caused by the politicizing of the Zimmerman trial.  Race is once again used to blame what is perceived as negative outcomes.  It's wrong, but when the highest office in the land uses it, it trickles down to the ignorant.

BINGO!!!!

and the pendulum keeps swinging because our leaders like to divide us and have us looking at our neighbors and blaming
them instead of those at the controls of society.

That's what happens when you put all your eggs in basket.
In Detroit's case, it was the auto industry, and when it died, Detroit died.

In Schenectady's case, it was G.E..

There is no doubt that the city would be doing much better if we still had 30,000 people employed downtown.

The corrupt system (dems/reps) don't care about the average working folks. The only reason they like us around is because we are their slaves.....rats on a wheel that keeps the money rolling in so they can share it with their friends and family club.

that's the way it works folks!! DEM OR REP.........same coin...........
