Meanwhile, the bus goes through the projects. Now I don’t go downtown much, so while the bus weaved through one of the projects I remember from yet another bus ride (remember enforced intergration bussing?) one that I saw going to elementary school via the same route and same project. As the bus turned down the old school street, I saw 2 community centers; a Boys and Girls club; a huge playground, and a new elementary school within 2 blocks of the project.

Those families have been living in that project for over 40 years folks. Every decade they get some new MAJOR perk (I wish our neighborhood had even HALF that project has…hasn’t been a playground here for 60 years, until very recently, after a black kid was killed when hit by a car playing in the only area he could — the street). Guess what? They’ll remain in that project for yet another 40 years. Why leave when the roof is repaired; the lawns cut; the faucet and toilet is fixed; and the project has more perks than a $700/mon apartment complex?

The bus continued down the road past abandoned shotgun houses, and run downed cottages that littered the place. Turning down another street I saw homes with increasely more iron bars on the windows (one had black wrought iron so tight that the space between bars was about 1 inch apart and covered all windows all the way to the top). At this point I was getting angry about all what’s wasted on folks who’ll just keep on going downhill on some payback and hangout teet, and the thought those other folks will die in a house fire to protect their inside property. Then, in a blink of an eye, the bus passed this pretty little oasis in a sea of urban decay. Not only was the house painted; lawn mowned; flower beds attended; windows even shaded with blinds; there was a GARRISON SIZED AMERICAN FLAG IN THE FRONT YARD [on a proper flag pole even]!!

That made my day, folks. Out of all that generational misery I saw — even in the middle of it — someone defied the norms of “Entitlement Theology”, and planted a king-sized Stars and Stripes in a beautiful yard with care.

Why can’t Obama wear a simple flag pin to show he cares about a home he want’s to inherit (the White House)?

Why not fight back before it’s too late?

McCain isn’t worse than Obama, that’s why.

As bad as he is, compared to Barry, Dems could stomach 4 more years of him (they know what to expect and can at least plan for it), than even a year of Obama (so unknown, no one knows what’ll he do, or even have helping him run the government).

I am in total disbelief that we are re-enacting Bush.

Even Bush isn’t this bad. He at least had some experience before entering the White House.

Barry? A high school student could be more experienced in government.

My WV neighbor shot a thief through the seat of his pants with it, and the neighborhood was crime free for a decade.

Home boyz with their 9mms are no match.

I am have been left to wonder about the exploitation of all ethinicities by making one of them the boogeyman. we are seeing the results of this BS on the body politic.

Tis not the future I want for my kids. It so far removed from the words of MLK and others.

Inline with BO’s intimate friendship with Ayers, is the “Multi-culturalism” that is a “of the rails” threat to civil society.

“It is the ties that bind us.”

Make sure you know what’s what, before you game.

I really think they want to go into Africa, and Barry is their guy.

If McCain is yours, watch it closely, you have A LOT of middle eastern ops in the Africa/Obama camp, the unthinkable CAN happen to republicans, too.

I would also venture Russians in his camp, the usual poppurri of stench.

They’ll do anything, and they’re not intimidated by republican oil, that is.

But then how to explain Russert, and Matthews and Olbermann, are they too female journalists, those with even bigger crushes on Obama?

Would that then make them OLD lesbians, as compared with their young counterparts?

And we all know what old lesbains like to read, Obama romance porn.

Uh huh, that’s right.

And there you are, the Obama romance novel for lonely OLD lesbos, Gertrude Stein if she were stupid, frumpy and a broadcast journalist for NBC.

Or woking for big oil.
