Philly Police Chief Charles Ramsey Fed Up

Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey has message for parents after rioting last week involving thousands of youth.

I wish Arne Duncan could be forced to hear Ramsey's Press Conference replayed 1000 times. (would that be enough to deprogram Duncan? Might be considered torture by the Obama Administration....hmmm). But the fact is....Ramsey has it right.

This video features a "community activist" who was critical of Ramsey's comments. There is always a band of these "community activist" apologists in every big city across the Country - Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Baltimore, NYC, Memphis, Oakland, D.C., everywhere... They annoy me to no end. I tried to find an unedited video of his Press Conference...but this was unfortunately the best I could find.

Discussion Regarding Recent Threats to Members of Congress

NPR discussion delves into what motivates this kind of activity.

I love how James Clyburn speaks plainly...

I was more than irked by the way the Republican hack tried to create some sort of phony equivalence between the Republican Party, which has embraced fringe groups, and those on the other side. Yes, the left has always had fringe groups.... but they aren't usually brought into the mainstream. And there is no huge Progressive media machine using outright fear and misinformation to get the crazies all riled up.... riled up enough (in their deranged minds) to take action. The equivalence argument is bull----.

Listen here.

Why Obama Should Have Worked Harder On Economy

Forcing healthcare through Congress at a time when the issue was not a top priority for most Americans will likely cost the Democrats come November....as I have already mentioned. Obama & Co. should have at least been much more aggressive on plans for job growth while pushing for healthcare reform.... this would have helped in making them look less out of touch. His team of advisers are definitely not the most competent.

Now they want to tackle immigration... thinking (mistakenly) that the healthcare victory has somehow given them momentum for dealing with an issue even more contentious. Obama will end up wasting what little political capital he has left on Immigration Reform. Clueless doesn't seem adequate for describing Emanuel, Axelrod, Plouffe and all the rest.

There is still a little bit of time between now and November. Alot can change in that time. It looks like the economy may finally be creating jobs again.... after losing millions over the last two years. But it will take a long time to change the public's perception... especially when there are TV networks and radio stations dedicated to telling Americans that Barack Obama and the Democrats are devils, socialists, and that they are to blame for the economic collapse. (Americans are incredibly gullible and unfortunately they listen to the nonsense from Faux News and the rest).

Health Insurance Mandate Was A Republican Idea for Decades

The mandate in the Healthcare legislation was actually a Republican idea for decades. Now all of a sudden Republicans are pointing to the mandate in order to demonize the bill.

Classic Republican trickery.... and their followers just eat this stuff up.
