Are you my Baskin-Robbins friend? If not, disregard. If so, you'll know what I'm talking about. I couldn't remember which FReeper it was. Still too new to remember names very well.
You have mail.
I also live on the west side of Houston (Kirkwood & Westheimer), and sadly our area has turned to total crap.. the teenage thugs are walking everywhere, all hours of the day and night, up to no good. We've made the decision to relocate to the Hill Country for peace of mind & quality of life,and to save our little boy from the gangs. Bill White ruined our city and I'm sure his legacy will be just that -- destroyed Houston for good. Houston will be the next New Orleans 9th ward.
Oh my gosh, that President Bush! Look what he did to his own home state of Texas! /sarcasm
Yet we are supposed to be feeling so very sorry for these people to this day.
Like I've said before, as long as those thugs OFF each other I have no problem. Alas, that has not been the case in all of the crimes. This ought to be a lesson to the politicians........be careful what and who you ask for.......you might get it.
In the past year, not one single low income project has yet to be built and/or remodeled in New Orleans,(yeah, that's Nagin for you, I guess he wants to be the only thug in town) ... HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM: These people are not leaving as long as we keep them on govt assistance, they are not used to working... they don't beleive in matrimony, their kids don't have a father figure, they feel no shame taking freebies, mooching off the system. These women have no self respect or dignity (except for very few). I was at wal-mart the other day, and there SHE is with 3 brats, cart full of groceries, and paying with some lonestar voucher.. And trust me this woman had NO SHAME. Why aren't we paying them to get vasectomies and tubuligations -- FREE??? That would be a good investment for the tax payers of Houston.
...no, good deed goes unpunished!
Have you heard any audio of last night's town meeting at Grace Baptist? Pat Gray is playing some on 950 AM.
Mayor White asked the assembled Houstonians how they wanted to solve the problem, and one woman says, "We just want the New Orleans residents to go home."
Pat's characterizing this as a little mean-spirited, but what are we supposed to say?
Houston opened our homes, our hearts, and our checkbooks to New Orleans residents, and they thanked us with a 25% spike in murders and a better than 30% spike in other violent crimes.
Are all NoLa residents like that? No. But just about all NoLa residents consistently vote to keep in place a system that fosters the welfare lifestyle and overlooks violent crime. So yes, it may not be every New Orleanian's fault, but it is their problem.
And now it's our problem, and I resent the hell out of that.
I believe it was Garrett Morris, of Saturday Night Live fame, who recited that line as the only English he knew when being interviewed as a major league ballplayer character he portrayed.
It's all comin' back . . . the character was Chico Escuela!
Damn, but Morris was funny. Thinking about him singing "I'm gonna get me a shotgun and kill all the whiteys I see" has me cracking up!
If he does he'll find some way to blame Bush for it.
"HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM: These people are not leaving as long as we keep them on govt assistance, they are not used to working.."
Ah, I see you are a candidate for Political Correctness re-education camps.
Remember: Gubmint Welfare Macht Free
