That’s why leftists do all their “charity” through the State - because when the resources run out, they just put a gun in the taxpayers’ face. They don’t have to worry about resources, and they get to feel good about themselves, which is the whole point.

A private charity inherently has to judge the worthiness of those receiving its resources. Leftists don’t like that, because that causes an examination of the recipients’ behaviors.

In the hood, the school budget has nothing to do with education, it has everything about providing jobs for the folks

____________________________________________________________

Where is Senator Cummings on this point?

Seems to me that when o was elected, certain people thought, ‘oh good now I can get what I want and stay home and watch t.v.’

Well that’s not how you maintain a life style. You find a job, it might not be in ‘the hood’ so leave Baltimore and go find a job, get an apartment, a savings account, and end up ‘being somebody’

You can pour mounds of money into something, if there aren’t people to work it, its going to fail....can you tell me why Senator Cummings is that stupid NOT to see this?

I heard Starbucks say they were going to open a store in Ferguson. No doubt trying to prove how liberal they are.

But the question is, how profitable will that location be?

I heard that too. Maybe they will open a token location just to show they are doing their part. I feel sorry for the people who will be working there—but at least they can quit.

Has anyone blamed Republicans or George Bush for the mayhem in Baltimore?

A scarier thought is organized thugs being transported around to trash other places

Maybe thews guys can help....Obama's "Public Allies"

www.publicallies.org

http://www.publicallies.org/site/c.liKUL3PNLvF/b.5106423/k.BD7E/Home.htm

Before she got to the White House, First Lady Michelle Obama lived some of her happiest times founding Public Allies Chicago in the early '90s

Public Allies 5 core values are 1) Diversity/Inclusion; 2) Collaboration; 3) Continuous Learning; 4) Integrity; and 5) Building on Assets

** Each Public Allies site manages their own recruitment process but use the same application. It is important to reach out to the site(s) that you are interested in applying to and talking with staff about their program and processes.

You and I both know the Dems don’t want things to change. Like LBJ said fifty years ago, they want to “keep these n.....s voting Dem” in perpetuity.

Nothing epitomizes the bankruptcy of liberal "thought" than their crusade against gentrification.

When whites left big cities in droves after their neighborhoods deteriorated due to a flood of welfare blacks, they were called racists. Now whites are buying back into the city neighborhoods, and what are they called? Racists.

When whites moved out they were called racists because according to libs they didn't want to live with black neighbors. The real reason they moved out is that didn't want their housing values to deteriorate, and they didn't want to be victims of black crime.

Now black activists actually have the nerve to say nobody but blacks should live in "their" (previously all white) neighborhoods. Unbelievable.

The multi-level recruitment sounds like Amway for social/political malcontents. I wonder how the money flows... what the ratio is of individual contributions to grants; what’s in it for the various sub-organizers, etc.

Baltimore County too, hon,

home of the white libs (and wealthy Jewish democrats) who elected Senator Cardin who makes Biden look like a genius.

Heard from Cardin or Mikulski lately?
