Re: Jones' leaving the Obama Admin/Liberal theory and success in Black America:

Jones is nothing but a cleaned up street thug whose extremism made him relatively easy to displace.  The next target is Mark Lloyd and at least 20 more high-profile Obamatrons embedded into our national government.  They all want to kill our economy, destroy our faith in ourselves.  They want to punish America and plunder us in service of their need to cover for/finance the black community's failure to take advantage of education and work. 

Instead of being able to attend to their community-building tasks at hand, black communities have succumed to race-baiting of my former political party, Al Franken, Al Sharpton, et al.   Clearly there's been racism/legitimate problems plaguing the black communities which indeed have held back their progress/prosperity. 

The biggest problem for black communities, however, has been receipt of their multi-faceted gifts from white liberals: Destroyed families, wrecked business/social climate (creating mass poverty), rotten schools (in service of teachers' unions/resulting illiteracy), elevated crime, drug use encouraged by liberals, huge governmental intrusion/controls requiring submission of the people, corrupt governance, high homicide rates.  These are a few of white liberals' gifts to black communities, which are covered up by Democrats whose open MSM appeals to black racism they've  striven to transfer to Republicans, WHO HAVEN'T EVEN GOVERNED THESE CITIES FOR DECADES.  Democrats capitalize upon and entrench ever-continuing failure in these communities!

Detroit is a pristine example of the 'Rise of American Third World City' whose dramatic failures are paid for by American workers in Fort Wayne, Sacramento, Birmingham and Oklahoma City, via corrupt DC.

White liberals are the enemy to the internal elevation of (and building of pride in) the black communities throughout our land.  Everywhere on earth strong communities prosper by the natural sanctity of the family and the intrinsic worth of each individual.  White liberals are perfectly willing to sacrifice as many black children, and adults to advancing their self-serving political power entrenchment schemes as are required to die, have no families/ education/hopes/marketable skills/personal pride/sense of community, or sense of individual self worth.  So much human loss to our fellow black Americans has accrued from these liberal gifts, as to not be catalogueable.  Margaret Sanger's legacy of millions of dead black babies at liberal hands is cheered on.  "For the Children": Obama-speak, er, I mean Clinton-speak,  oh, I mean Orwell-speak.

Black Americans are just as intelligent, capable and able to succeed as the rest of us.  Their communities' leadership has been hijacked and displaced by the likes of Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson, both of whom stoke MSM's racist underpinnings for their 'success'.  Like any tin pot dictator, they accrue their success by compounding their communities' failures.  They enjoy each new episode of failure (by their own fattened bank accounts) which somehow result from every freshly failed promise.  Failed promises whose disappointments they ever-default to "the evil white man".

Clearly we see race-baiting is big business, amplified by white liberal MSM.  What we don't see: Black Americans get to suffer as party faithful pour blame onto conservatives and Republicans who could actually help these communities grow and prosper by community members' own hands.

Criminal gangs are but one dynamic outcome of white liberals' arguably race-based benign neglect: which translates to self-serving liberals gain of overweening political power using other peoples' money, regardless of the hypocrisy of who suffers.

Hugh,

#1:  Great show!  You've been saying Macy's has lost 4% sales.  In Sacramento, we've noticed that Macy's is the Sacramento Bee's single biggest bank-roller.  Macy's heavy ad buys, saving the Bee, support MSM's message.  I've called Macy's SF headquarters re: bankrolling Sacramento's big deceiver, communicating I won't go to Macy's until they spread their ad buys.  Tersely telling me to go to hell, Macy's continues liberally supporting MSM papers.

As a teacher, I've found the Sac Bee's editors vicious/mean-spirited.  Once a heavy Bee reader (and democrat), I've called the editors re: functional lies in their stories.  Some lies intended, they've condescended to, sworn at and hung up on me several times, proving their love of marxist Kool Aide.

Our Weeklies Are a Way For Sacramento Readers/So Also Is Republican Takeover of Dying Big City Papers:
 
Hugh, our local weeklies print upbeat stories about Sacramentans helping each other (Boy Scouts giving $700 to old folks home); instead of the Bee's hate-based offerings.  Even most liberals are bored w/the Bee.  All of our local weeklies are flourishing, even having little/no on-line presence, because weeklies give readers positive stories and a forum for peoples' ideas.  Their circulations grow as Bee's circulation shrinks.

These weeklies are: The American River Messenger, The Sacramento Union, The Carmichael Times, The Rancho Cordova Grapevine, The Auburn Journal, The Arden-Carmichael News and many others near and far.  The Carmichael Times, dead a year ago, now flourishes and new weeklies are popping up.

I'm telling you, Hugh, that this is a Micro-Model for What the Conservatives Can Do Nationally: namely, buy up liberal-crashed papers and innovate them into community assets that All citizens value!  MSM"s tiresome hatred of conservatives can give way to massive innovation surpassing MSM's timeworn 60's-era business/editorial models.  Numerous dying dailies provide unparalleled opportunity, at long last, to print Conservative messaging.

#2:  We need you to help Fox realize the value of buying up the Bee's carcass.  Knowledgeable people say Bee editors are in their dying daze.  We need Fox to Come to the Capitol of The ONCE 4th Greatest Economy on Earth.  A capitol run by insular gerry-mandered demos for 15 years.  We need Fox to buy this dying cancer and a local TV station.  Fox's spotlight would breach the MSM/Democrat alliance.  The resulting battle re: America's Spirit would electrify people, profiting Fox's influence.

My former party has taxed to death or run out Many Thousands of California's Businesses/Jobs overseas/across the American West.  I've talked to many business owners who've left just to survive (month's worth of interviews right there).  The repubs sit in silence as demos destroyed our prosperity, killing the goose that laid the golden egg!  When are we going to start talking?  Never in MSM.  We have no voice.  I have written some on this.

I'll send my thoughts if you want.  Since every person on the street agrees this is an opportunity!

#3:  ***The big hidden economic story is that California's democrats are Purposefully destroying California's economy.   Now the whole American economy is in peril under their influence.  My former party WANTS to destroy the economy so They can take it over!  This is classic Alinsky.  Hating the freedom we once had, they want control over all of us, whether we be business owner, citizen or worker, and all of our families***

Mark my words!, as a teacher in Ca. I've painfully learned they intend to destroy our economy just as they're wrecking Cal Ed.  In an earlier incarnation, liberals tried to Fix our economic woes.  "Covered" by MSM, they now want to Wreck it, to wreck America.  You, Medved, Prager, Levin and Savage have aided Rush's efforts to illuminate MSM's Alinsky treason.

The **** paragraph is the main part! ****

Thanks.

Obama's just the smoother talker that any con man must be in order to get your natural greed up so he can sell you out using your own greed.  The con man must be your friend.  That's the rule. In the politically criminal world of Chicago machine politics (where the dead have always voted), it would take the smoothest of the smooth talkers and agile shape-shifting promisers to rise up within it, without being shut down.

Obama and the American left which so blindly supports him are political cousins to the marxists who murdered so many more millions of people than did Hitler that comparatively, Hitler looks the bungling kid.  Notice who Never, Never criticsizes Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot or Ho Chi Minh.  It's the left and their friends in the media and the universities who lionize these mass-murderers, no matter how many millions of human beings had to die in service to the universities' friends' marxist god.

As a one-time leftist, I have found my road to my Real Education blocked as much as possible by the same people who blindly back Obama now.  The 'change' they keep hyping may be they worst thing possible for America.  I remember that Hitler was the 'savior' of the German people in 1933.  None of my university professors ever, remotely told of the unimaginable horrors under which all those 'other people' got to exist, before they were mass-murdered by their marxist state-sponsored mass-murdering communist controllers.

I'm not saying that Obama has this in mind, but he is, and his supporters are, the political cousins of those who unapologetically committed these massive human rights crimes "for the good of the people".

People may not want to remember the fact that under the Clintons, at Waco, America joined other nations of the world which have murdered an entire religious community destroying their homes, just like the Soviets and Maoists communists did in greater numbers.  The Clintons conspired with Castro to take Elian Gonzales away from his rescuing family in Florida (his mother's last wish), and return him to pc Cuba where his father (still not yet escaped), was held under guard by Castro's gunmen and allowed to come to Florida to pick up his son (under heavy guard, guards who threatened him to keep his mouth shut) according to witnesses of the father's "interview" by compliant US journalists.

Anyone who likes the horrific governmental wastelands of Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland (where teens recently videoed their beating to death of a helpless homeless man, w/passersby NOT helping), Obama is your man.  I'm speaking here of the overall culture of Cleveland under it's governments of the last 40 years, precursors and progenitors of Obama.  The degeneration of these three cities taking up billions of dollars from the rest of our nation, all to no avail.  Their problems remain dynamically unsolved under Obama-type city governments.

Mr. Stossel, on your exclaiming to legalize drugs:

I disagree, partly or even mostly.  I see two vastly different views before me in this thread; one a straight talking person w/strong personal connection w/the drug problem re: his childhood w/his mom on drugs, the other, a political/emotional stance person being a bit self-righteously shallow re: the destruction of other people's children.

As a teacher here in Sac. Ca. having worked in rough schools, I strongly disagree with the impetus of Stossel's remarks.  I've seen great kids go down by the tens each year in our high school.  The adults you reference, yes can make a slightly better set of choices in this area, but the vague-ness of your concept doesn't seem to notice or care that the kids will merge in with this chaos-ridden "adult" diversion which will-go-devilish w/unguided kids.  A great young man I ran across in a bank spoke of the "gift" our local school system gave his family (in addition to not educating his sibkings); his sister got addicted to hard drugs within the school system, under the tuteledge of the rough high school's primitiveness guided by permissive imperatives.. 

Stossel is full of it on this part of the issue, which is hopefully because he has no idea of the pure roughness of it all; and how far, how fast and how permanently drugs can do their thing.  But, hey it's only other people's kids, right?  He is right, though, on the drug war not achieving the desired goal, in fact, totally unintended results.  I would suggest he attend narcaholics' anonymous meetings a few times to see the heroics required to even begin to handle these addictions.  Or talk to sports docs who are paid monster bucks to get big athletes off these drugs, when it can be done.

Since we can't go the way of the Euro-weaklings who won't have their countries much longer because of that very impulse (legalize everything where there is contention); we must act differently, hunting for effectiveness.  I'd suggest a mix of more involved police, fathers, teachers, Boy Scouts, Church groups, et al with the youth of America.  Since the teachers unions would refuse any useful change and the school system's job is to screw up education wherever they find it, they won't help and would also fight the Boy Scouts or Church groups helping the kids, especially at "their" schools.  The dems would scream and hollor that the kids were being hurt by the help they might be getting.  P.C. feminist activists would demonize fathers or males in general as bad influences.  So much for civilized methods.

Among other possibilities is the enforced quick death of drug gangs/their leaders.  After a few thousand of them were just plain killed, possibly some of the affected communities (that haven't been slow motion destroyed these last few decades) may be able to come together and save their remaining most precious possessions, their children.  It's gone past he time when hopefully smiling, over-optimistic citizens can just throw more money at boondoggling school systems in the hope that someone else can fix their problems.
