Ex-NFL Linebacker Describes Destruction of Black Community by Great Society

Gary Cobb is a former NFL linebacker.  He is a candidate for the 1^st Congressional District of New Jersey.  In an interview with Steve Malzberg of Newsmax TV, Mr. Cobb described growing up and watching Lydon Johnson’s Great Society destroy the black community.  Here is an excerpt from a TPNN article:

Cobb, 57, explained that Democrat Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society programs, supposedly designed to combat poverty, had the opposite effect on black Americans, forcing fathers out of homes and destroying black families. 

“In order to get on the program (LBJ’s eliminate poverty program), the man had to leave the home,” Cobb said. “It’s destroyed African-American families throughout the country.” 

“I was all into the Democratic Party and everything and then I started realizing they helped destroy our communities and we’re celebrating electing these people,” Cobb, who volunteers his time helping underprivileged youth in the Camden, New Jersey area, recalled. 

“African American communities throughout the country are doing horribly under Democratic-run cities and that’s why I want to put an end to it,” Cobb said.

Hurricane Sandy Transforms the American Northeast

Hey America, welcome to what a total transformation looks like.  The Northeast is tragically living out Obama’s dreams from his father.  People are standing in lines for gas; dumpster diving for food; and freezing to death for want of electricity.  In the meantime, the political elites are parading their fake commiseration around, while supplying the media with supersized generators.  After all, we don’t want those elites to suffer the vicissitudes of Mother Nature while reporting on a marathon.  Oh, I forgot.  Hurricane Sandy was a man-made event just like this race.  What in the hell was I thinking?

And for intermission at this theater of the absurd, utility workers traveled all the way from Alabama to help out the good people of New Jersey, only to be harassed and ran out of town by union workers.  Obamaville will freeze over before “scabs” are allowed to work.  And by the way, you Jerseyite plebeians will shut your mouths and enjoy your collective misery.  This is the new norm and you will like it.

For what it’s worth Northeasterners, we toothless inbreeds in flyover country feel your pain.  Maybe this election cycle your village won’t vote for the idiot to run things – just saying.

N.C. Legislature Scrooged Over Education Cost

New Jersey’s Governor Christie is in an epic battle with one of the most powerful special interest groups in the United States: the teacher’s union. The cost of education has become the third rail of politics with every leftist organization rallying to the call of the Horn of Gondor when the national, state or local government questions the cost. It seems the village doesn’t have enough cash to raise children in the proper way socialist see fit.


North Carolina is no different. The Charlotte Observer published a cartoon portraying the incoming North Carolina General Assembly as Scrooge. Keep in mind that this is the first time the Republican Party has gained the majority in the legislature in both houses in over 100 years. I guess you can say this is a preemptive strike.

A study by Civitas displays the cost of education:



How Much Does North Carolina Spend to Produce one High School Diploma?


K-12 public education remains one of the most talked about policy issues in North Carolina. Public interest derives not only from the importance of the task, but also the level of public spending. In the 2010-11 state budget, 37 percent of state spending approximately $7.1 billion is devoted to K-12 public education. In 2008-09, state, federal and local expenditures for K-12 public education totaled $12.2 billion on a student population of 1.4 million. The economic challenges facing North Carolinians underscore the importance of understanding how much North Carolina is spending for education and how well our institutions are performing. One question that flows from this discussion is: How much does it cost to produce a high school graduate in North Carolina?1


Methodology


To answer this question, annual per student average expenditures were gathered for 13 years (1996-97 to 2008-09) grades K-12) for the 10 largest local education agencies (LEAs) in North Carolina.2 In 2008-09, the ten largest LEAs accounted for approximately 40 percent of all K-12 students enrolled in North Carolina public schools. Annual per student expenditure figure sum state, local and federal per pupil expenditures The figures are then adjusted for inflation. Annual totals are then divided by the LEAs 2008 graduation rate. Since the costs of a diploma should accurately reflect all educational costs, the costs of those who fail to graduate are included. According to Department of Public Instruction data, 70 percent of 9th grade students who enrolled as freshmen in 2005-06, graduated four years later in 2008-09.


Data for this study is from the Education Statistics Access System (ESAS), available on the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction web site.

Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses? Only for the taxpayers who are chained to the education boondoggle, and the socialist utopian dream.

Governor Christie Confronts President of Teachers Union

This guy is freakin awesome.  We need more governors like him.  And dare I say presidents?

New Jersey Teachers Gone Wild

New Jersey teachers let loose.  One makes an astonishing admission of negotiating in bad faith.  Governor Christie has a serious problem with these people.  This video is worth watching.

Head of Teachers' Union Prays for Governor Christie's Death

New Jersey Governor Christie takes no prisoners when it comes to the cost of education and the teachers union.  This man is straight forward and tells it like it is. 

A big shot in the teachers union sent an email to its members informing them to pray for Christie's death.  What kind of crap is that?  I thought we had a separation of church and state.

Federal Bureaucracy Gone Wild or Obama Thugocracy?

So a misplaced page denies the State of New Jersey a federal grant?  Something doesn't pass the smell test.

The Obama Administration is vindictive and petty; just look at what's happening to America's Sheriff in Arizona:

Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the Maricopa County, Arizona, man who calls himself “America’s toughest sheriff,” has until Sept. 10 to comply with a Justice Department request to explain his office’s “operations, policies and procedures” involving the arrest and detention of Hispanics, according to a letter obtained by ABC News.



The Department has been investigating the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office for alleged civil rights violations. Officials set the deadline following a meeting Tuesday with Arpaio’s attorneys in Washington.


“If we do not receive clear and specific agreement for all of the [requests], we will conclude that completion cannot be achieved by voluntary means,” Judy Preston, acting chief of the agency’s Special Litigation Section, wrote to Sheriff’s Office attorney Robert Driscoll.


The Department has outlined 51 requests for documents and information on how the Sheriff's Office conducts traffic stops and searches, trains new recruits and treats prisoners held in county jails. Officials also asked for access to arrest records from Jan. 2008 and to interview officers and inmates at county facilities.


An attorney for the Sheriff’s Office said he is preparing a response to Preston’s request but reiterated complaints that the Department’s allegations of wrongdoing remain unclear.

“I now know after the meeting that they involve Hispanics, but they refuse to provide any specific allegations,” said Driscoll. “This case is pretty unusual, I think. They don’t seem to have any evidence.”

How's that hope and change working for you?

New Jersey Tea Partiers to Recall Senator Menendez

The New Jersey tea partiers are taking their anger at public officials to a whole new level. They won an appellate court case that would allow them to recall U.S. Senator Robert Menendez. However they must collect 1.3 million signatures to put Menendez on the ballot.

In 1993 New Jersey voted themselves the right to recall elected officials in the state legislature or those who represent them in the United States Congress. In 1995 the New Jersey's state constitution was officially amended under Article I, 2b.

"the power to recall, after at least one year of service, any elected official in this State or representing this State or representing this State in the United States Congress."

Secretary of State Nina Wells tried to deny the tea partiers by stating that the "New Jersey constitution was unconstitutional." The appellate court thought otherwise.

Secretary Wells is a controversial character. Biggovernment.com outlined her exploits:

Appointed to her post in January 2006 by outgoing Democratic Governor Jon Corzine, Wells was a key democratic fundraiser and close friend to Corzine. She has been called one of the Garden State's 101 most influential people, and NJ Monthly profiled her and high-profile attorney husband Ted Wells in its Power Issue. Daughter Teresa worked on Senator John Edwards' presidential campaign and as Corzine's traveling press secretary, prior to accepting a position at the Rockefeller Foundation as chief media strategist. In her capacity as Secretary of State, Ms. Wells is perhaps best known for the Obama birth certificate case, Donofrio v. Wells. But Wells has faced more plausible scrutiny, such as fallout after a Princeton University professor's successful hacking attempts on NJ voting machines, and a multitude of indictments of Vote-by-Mail voter fraud, including forgery of messenger ballots, on her watch (see here, here, here, here, and Dem. State Committee lawyer Josephson letter here). In 2008, Wells also overlooked a state law prohibiting candidates from running for President and US Senate in the same election, and improperly certified candidate Jeff Boss for both offices. (who on an unrelated note runs on a 9/11 truther platform).

There are currently 18 states whose constitution allows the recall of public officials as outlined by the National Conference of State Legislatures:
