Wow!<br /><br />Oh, what a surprise abt "Common" spreading his vitriol at Michelle's church, where all the people are saying, "Amen!" That, too, is disturbing on so many levels.<br /><br />I have wondered the same thing for years abt Hitler and Germany. Our media does seem hellbent on protecting Obama, propping him up, and cleaning up after him. So, yes - I can see how it happened in Germany. Now, anyway.<br /><br />Well, ME, I have to say, I thought abt Obama's close personal friend, convicted felon, Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick of Detroit. What a surprise (not) that things have gone to hell in a handbasket in Detroit. And in other cities, for that matter, as you pointed out. <br /><br />What happened to your daughter is just horrible, Mary Ellen, and NEVER would have been tolerated before. Good grief. That is just shocking.<br /><br />Again, great comment. You nailed it!Rabble Rouser Reverend Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965609706204555067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208401365281331903.post-11705017608839822672011-05-10T11:25:08.763-04:002011-05-10T11:25:08.763-04:00Regarding Michelle's "poetry" readin...Regarding Michelle's "poetry" reading, I'm not surprised. Common has done his rap routine in Reverend Wright's church many times. There are YouTubes out there and he had the house rocking with his hate rap. <br /><br />I always wondered how Hitler was able to say the things he did and act on his hate and killing while much of the German population sat silent or worse, went along with him. I can see in now, in our own country, where things like this can go on in the White House and the media doesn't say "boo". It's just sickening. <br /><br />Regarding the Detroit illiteracy, I'm not surprised at all. I do believe that the biggest source of the problem is the teacher's union and the city government who kowtow to them. This same problem is going on in the Chicago school districts and they keep throwing good money after bad and the results are always the same...the kids are getting shorthanded because they are being taught by teachers who either don't care or those who do, are being held back from helping the students. Having a daughter who taught in the Chicago school district in one of the roughest neighborhoods in Chicago...the unions did NOTHING to help her when she was being called "Whitey" by the office staff or when she was told to "just get the students passed" and not worry if they were leaning. This is the same stuff that goes on in Detroit.<br /><br />That's the Detroit tax dollars at work...the unions are raking in the dough so they can spend it on getting their favorite politician voted in and the city is to the point that it may never recover.Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18096051756459933731noreply@blogger.com
