Governor Palin: Helping Haiti This Christmas
Here’s the latest Facebook posting from Governor Palin, about her trip to Haiti with her daughter Bristol.
As bad as things are in Haiti, I also want to remind everyone that things are pretty bad in the Southside of Chicago too…and in Cleveland…and in Detroit…and in Pittsburgh.
So, we should all applaud any efforts to help those in Haiti…while simultaneously asking why, exactly, people live in conditions similar to Haiti in the major Democrat-controlled cities across this country.
Whatever’s keeping people in Haiti down, generation to generation, is also keeping people down in our own cities.
Corruption.
An entitlement mentality.
People who are told it’s easier to collect checks from the government than to become entrepreneurs and chart their own destiny.
Democrats don’t want anyone in the urban areas to improve themselves…because they are easier to control as voters when they are dependent on the government for everything. It’s very similar to what happens in countries like Haiti, or in South America or Africa, where corrupt government officials embezzle most of the funds pouring in from well-meaning private organizations or foreign aid (like the massive amounts of cash the United States gives to countries all over the world, only to see it fall into the hands of warlords).
In major urban areas, like Chicago, the warlords are people like Mayor Daley…who oversee their machines, which are designed to benefit those who support the machines and keep large segments of the population impoverished so they are easier for Democrats to control…and thus, make it easier for Democrats to retain power.
Before we can ever stop this cycle from repeating in foreign countries like Haiti, we need to find a way to stop it in Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, New York, you name it.
Don’t tell me this isn’t a deliberate part of Democrats’ strategy for staying in power.

"and in Pittsburgh."
not really(marcellus shale and utica). merry christmas.
Hey, the Pens won tonight, 5-2 over the Florida Panthers. So it can't be that bad…
Kevin since you mentioned our beloved Cleveland …
…do you still follow the front page columns in the Cleveland Plain Dealer (go to cleveland.com) by the wife of Ohio democratic Senator Sherrod Brown? You wouldn't know it's his wife as she goes by "Connie Schultz"
In the spirt of the new "net neutrality rules – I really think you need to ask for equal time with columns – should the wife/spouse of any Senator have a 2-3 times a week column in a major daily (also syndicated)?
just look at today's dribble and propaganda – this is just today's example to prove your point above of Ds control poor urban areas like Cleveland – the people don't have a chance with this bs –
be sure to check out past topics on her link – all D talking points and propaganda being test-marketed on the unsuspecting working poor of Cleveland.

I've not been to Cleveland, BUT I have been to Haiti (about 5 years ago, long before the current damage) and I would guess that the poverty in Cleveland comes nowhere near the poverty in Haiti! In the areas outside of Port au Prince, there is no electricity, no running water even before the disaster. People live in one-room cement buildings with no windows (just decorative cinder block with the holes, ya know?). They only sleep there and they do everything else outside. The only "jobs" in the villages we were in were those who made charcoal or were working for foreign charities in some capacity (usually orphanages). High school is something you have to pay to attend and very few get to do so, especially outside Port au Prince, so the illiteracy rate is very high. Besides, what would they read?? There is no local library. In one village, the sewage from the village ran into the lake in which the people bathed and fished. Their hair and eyes were orange because of malnutrition and/or hepatitis. We saw street children all over Port au Prince, digging through the garbage in the dry waterways along with the goats and other animals. Almost anyone living in the United States is better off, even if living in poverty, compared to those who live in Haiti, with no hope of an education or a job. Whether those in Cleveland realize it or not, they DO have possibilities, they CAN escape poverty if they will take advantage of a free education, but not in Haiti.
No kidding. Compare photos of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to the worst parts of Chicago.
Chicago has never been leveled to atomic rubble and yet, there are places of that great city that look like a war zone.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not only bombed, but incinerated by an atomic bomb. If you didn't know the history of WWII, you wouldn't know that those two cities were once reduced to rubble.
It's incredible what lasting damage political corruption and the Entitlement Mentality can do to a society!
