zz3 just needs to use a spell check program and clean up his grammar a bit- I know what he's getting at though.
PH's attack- in it's viciousness- reminds me of a sadistic school teacher ridiculing a student for grammatical errors in front of the whole class. Reading her post (I assume it's a woman- they're usually the cruelest), I detected a number of errors which I won't enumerate.
P.S. I imagine, anyone reading my posts would find a lot of mistakes, too. As far as I know, only one perfect human being (and He was half-God) ever existed- Jesus Christ.
For PH- Nice rant! So, whose the Looney? All I said is that Tea Party supporters reminded me of Boston Patriots and Liberals (most of them) reminded me of Bolsheviks. I stand by my statement.
And, by the way, none of this (at least for me and, I believe, the overwhelming majority of Conservatives is RACIAL) the race issue is just a "red herring" thrown out by Libs to deflect attention from the real issues.Bottom Line: Obama is a nice, highly intelligent African-American man with a nice family with whom I disagree on issues. Jimmy Carter was a nice, highly intelligent Southern Caucasian man with a nice family with whom I disagreed on issues. Get it? Both Liberals- with similar values- and my opposition to them is based on their values, not their skin color and, I believe, the majority of Conservatives feel that way. So, who is the real racist?
By the way, Liberals- Democrats in general- haven't done a hell of a lot to benefit African-Americans in a long time- if they ever did. Look at their actual record- discounting the stump speeches. Makes pretty sad reading. Only an Ostrich with their head in the sand would continue supporting that party.
Furthermore, the Tea Party position and attitude is very close to that of the Patriots who founded this country: the original Boston Tea Party which resisted British oppression. If they had "knuckled under" to central authority, we'd still be British Subjects. Remember, Our Constitution gives us, the People, the right to overthrow a government which becomes oppressive (Liberals don't like to hear that- which is why they hate the Constitution- except where it suits their purposes).
If the Tea Party members remind me of Boston Patriots, it's equally true, Liberals, most of them, remind me of Bolsheviks. They preach class envy and hatred in exactly the same way. And we know what the Bolsheviks did to the Russian People- subjected them to 70 years of tyranny and impoverishment.
One of the commentators called TEA party members "loons". I don't understand that. Their position (the Tea Party) is that the Federal Government is out control, that we pay too much in taxes for programs that don't work (apart from outright waste) and that the taxpayers should have greater control as to how their (hard-earned) money is spent.
Now, if That is "Lunacy", then, I guess, I prefer lunacy to so-called "Sanity" (defined by the Liberals) any day!
Asbestos, once buried, is not a problem to anyone (it's mined in the first place). Inhalation of lead fumes poses serious health problems, but only in a confined, non-ventilated area and in extremely high doses.
These kinds of scare tactics are routinely used by the radical environmentalists to corral the gullible into supporting their agenda. Controlled burns, supervised by the Fire Department are the best, cheapest way of taking down wooden structures. Period.
For taxme: It's a school! It's there for the students and their parents not as an instrument for social improvement. If people want to leave that neighborhood (apart from the condition of the building itself), well, that's what democracy is all about, right? - Oops, I'm sorry, I forgot, were talking about the Catholic Church here: not exactly a pillar of democracy, is it?
There's plenty of cheap land in Y-Town (Youngstown has a land bank: you can buy a lot for 81 Bucks), but it doesn't do you any good if you have to be afraid to go or stay there. The bottom line is the perception of Y-town is a town run by corrupt politicians and street thugs- land may be cheap- but it ain't cheap- the cost of a funeral these days- if you get yourself shot for it.
(Also, the horrible, horrible, horrible school system- only a parent who hated his kids would choose to send them into that jungle. I'd like to know about the City Big Wigs- the Mayor and all the rest of them: where do their kids and grand kids go to school- in Youngstown or somewhere else? Maybe they follow Barack's and Michelle's example- who send theirs to the toney and pricey Sidwell Academy while mouthing platitudes about the importance of "public education". You can't really grow a city without a good school system)
Children shouldn't be used as pawns on a chess board. The Mooney Location decision should be based on what is best for them- the present and future students of Mooney- and not what helps the City of Youngstown in its fight to stay afloat.
Interestingly, Bishop Murray is an executive in an organization not always known- at least not lately if we can believe the headlines- dedicated to the welfare of children.
The truth is that the cheapest way to get rid of an old house that nobody wants is to burn it down- a controlled burn supervised by the Fire Department (far cheaper than demolition) and it gives the fire men practice. The EPA again- as always- places their own rarefied priorities ahead of common sense and serving the public.
Hazardous Waste? What would you expect to be left after a 1700 degrees fire except charcoal and ash? Makes more sense than to truck everything away and bury it somewhere.
If I were a parent planning to send my children to a school- public or private- my only concern- apart from academics- would be where will my children be safest- Mooney on Erie, or Mooney on Western Reserve? Easy choice.
Obama administration is using intimidation with shades of fascism

North Siders: Unfinished demolitions escalating crime, blight
