Crime movies made in the 1930s included prison scenes that portrayed convicts as all-white. These fictional films correctly depicted conditions as they were. A great majority of crimes were committed by whites: art imitating life. What, then, are we to make of K.C. Halloran’s Nov. 2 column, “Inmate population one example of racism,” referring to a majority of blacks in prison? Is it so difficult to comprehend that blacks have replaced whites as the majority in jail simply because they are committing most crimes? What does he propose we do with blacks convicted of murder, rape, assault and robbery? Since he is convinced that slavery — which was abolished more than a century ago — is responsible, do we set them free? What of the victims? White liberals have cravenly accepted all the racist propaganda and never cease making excuses for behavior they would never accept from other ethnic groups. ...............http://www.dailygazette.com/news/2008/nov/07/11-07_print/
All very true. It wasn't until the welfare society overtook and crucified the black family structure (another example of the road to hell being paved with good liberal intentions) that black people began committing the vast and overwhelming majority of violent crimes in America which as sadly lead them to be imprisoned in greater numbers. Soon there will be quotas on imprisonment and on health care. "Good news Mr. Jones- you are black so you don't have to serve time for this robbery since the quota for black males is used up this year in the prison system." And get ready for "Sorry, Mr. Smith- the quota for emergency heart bypasses for white males is full and the rest are reserved for people of color until January one, if you can wait 10 months we will be glad to schedule your surgery."
Go ahead and snicker. When the government takes over you health care, the rationing will have to be handled in some manner and racial, ethnic means generally make the most "sense" to liberals. It will be 'affirmative action in health care.' I guarantee it.
"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."
America Serves "When you choose to serve -- whether it's your nation, your community or simply your neighborhood -- you are connected to that fundamental American ideal that we want life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness not just for ourselves, but for all Americans. That's why it's called the American dream." The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation’s challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start.
Mandatory "community service" for those in Middle School, High School, or over the age of 55.
This seems to disagree with one other old fashioned, out of date, piece of paper that I know of.
AMENDMENT XIII Passed by Congress January 31, 1865. Ratified December 6, 1865.
Note: A portion of Article IV, section 2, of the Constitution was superseded by the 13th amendment.
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Hey...this is what the people wanted. Now they got it!!! COMMUNITY SERVICE??? Like we don't have enough churches and other non profits out there, huh?

UN folks....the UN charter......community service is no different than what Israel does for 'requirement of military service'......
community service can be in the form of the school band volunteering at the local nursing homes via concerts.......it's a way to fill a tax gap/lack of retirement $$ etc.......not enough folks to take care of the boomers so make them(cheaply too)---or we can hire those illegals.....cause I gotta tell ya folks the system for care of the elderly is SORELY lacking in help nor is it affordable and you cant raise a family on the wages paid, whether it be 'government money' or private......
...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.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
