it takes a lot of nerve to be a jesse jackson wanna-be!

How much nerve does it take to publically extort $25 million dollars from a major American city? How much nerve does it take to unabashedly exploit the record number of homicides in Indianapolis for the purpose of increasing personal wealth? Fifty liberal African-American ministers demanded that the city of Indianapolis cough up $25 million or they will disrupt the construction of Lucas Oil Stadium. The actions of these vipers are so vile on so many different levels that it is hard to know where to start. I suppose we should start with some questions?
1. Has there ever been a government-funded social program that ever had a positive impact on crime? Specifically, has there ever been a community-based youth program, or job training program, or family services program, or gun violence program, or substance abuse program, that ever made any difference whatsoever in the crime rate of a city? Until someone shows me otherwise, I will say that the answer is no.
2. If Indianapolis had $25 million just laying around (which they don't, thanks to the incompetent leadership of Democrat Mayor Bart Peterson), don't you think that it would be better spent on additional police patrols in high-crime areas?
3. Is there some kind of "Jesse Jackson Academy" that liberal black ministers go to for the purpose of learning the art of the "shakedown?" Is it necessary to speak in rhymes while perpetrating the shakedown, or is that a technique solely reserved for Jackson?

I read stories in the paper like this and I get so frustrated! These Jesse Jackson Wanna-Be's, in their thousand-dollar suits and their fancy cars, have the audacity to demand that government slide a portion of the people's money into their already-bulging pockets, or else they will derail a project that will add 4000 new jobs to Central Indiana and provide additional funding to Indianapolis Public Schools. Bishop T. Garrott Benjamin of The Light Of The World Christian Church has the nerve to label this job-creation package as a "symbol of our oppression." I think of people like Medgar Evars and Emmett Till and James Chaney and Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner and Martin Luther King, Jr. and little Denise McNair--authentic martyrs of the civil rights movement--and I just want to throw up when I see these modern-day Pharisees bastardize the cause that these previous heros died for. I am so glad I don't live in Indianapolis, because I am fairly certain that the gutless wonder they have for a mayor will succumb to the shakedown.
