If Obama had a city, it would look like Detroit!

(This just in: Bill Nojay writes in today's Wall Street Journal about his 8-mo. stint at the chief operating officer of the Detroit Dept. of Transportation. Almost daily, he found problems arising along with solutions but implementing them in Detroit was IMPOSSIBLE. You must read this first hand account of how this dysfunctional city is being run.)
Obama has said, “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin.” And, if Obama had a city, it would look like Detroit. In fact, Detroit is the poster-child and metaphor for what thieves and parasites can do to destroy a great American city. Detroit is our modern day "Mad Max"-- a reflection of where Obama and the Democrat party want to take America

In 1961, the last Republican mayor left office. Detroit has been run by Democrats on an unbroken streak for the past 52 yrs. In 2009 Detroit Public School students had the lowest scores ever recorded in the national math proficiency test over a 21-year history. Only 1.8 percent of students were considered capable of doing college level work. Corruption is rampant, Detroit has been voted the most dangerous city in America. 34.5 percent are on food stamps. Out-of-wedlock birthrate is 75 percent. Yet the city doubles down on Democrat policies and politicians. In a city of 700,000, only 6000 voted for the Republican presidential candidate! 98% voted Democrat! Detroit is a prime example of “getting the government you vote for.”

According to Zev Chafet's book, "Devil's Night: and Other True Tales of Detroit" (this book is about to be re-published thanks to overwhelming demand in recent days)--it's not just liberalism that reduced Detroit to rubble; it was race and racism.

In the early 1960s, the city was segregated along racial lines with blacks squeezed into small neighborhoods. Racial tensions mounted erupting into the Detroit Riots of 1967 which prompted a mass exodus of whites from Detroit, abandoning Detroit for the suburbs and moving into homes that were unfinished with no electricity or water. They couldn’t get out of “Motor City: fast enough.

Coleman Young, mayor of Detroit for 20 yrs.

In 1973, the majority black population elected Coleman Young, a black, radical leftist who did not believe in turning the other cheek. He accused whites of trying to control Detroit from outside the city. During his 20-year reign, Mr. Coleman ignored crime, inflamed racial tensions and built a patronage machine" He went to war with the city’s major institutions and then sought help from the government in the form of subsidies. As Detroit’s government became less and less effective, even middle-class blacks fled the city.

Mayor Young divided Detroit according to race, creating separate layoff lists for white and black officers. He and his handpicked police chief made it clear to the officers that too many tickets and too many arrests were being made in the black community (much as Obama is charging today). One black officer confided to a journalist, “I wouldn’t write tickets for black kids.”

Detroit--once, a shining jewel of a city

Meanwhile, the increasingly distressed city became a fiscal ward of the state and federal governments. As Ms. Jacoby wrote, by the late 1970s federal grants paid the salaries of up to one-third of Detroit's workforce.

As history shows, sending more cash to Detroit won't fix its breakdown in self-government. Another bailout would merely support its toxic political culture of neglect and corruption.

In closing, there are some wonderful, dedicated Christian groups working to bring hope and restoration to Detroit. In various parts of the city, there are some encouraging signs of renewal, thanks to the prayers and tireless efforts of a number of faithful Christian believers. 

However, here’s my parting thought: Detroit needs more than just a handout, or even an urban renewal campaign. Detroit needs an honest-to-goodness REVIVAL that starts with repentance (a change in thinking, behavior, a radical 180-degree turn in another direction). It would be awesome if some esteemed black evangelist (are there any?) who truly preaches the Word of God would come to Detroit and have a month-long campaign, nightly calling the people of Detroit to repent and get right with God and their fellow man. The black residents of Detroit need to repent for the racist attitudes toward the white man, and especially their hatred for those who are white, conservative Republicans. The black community needs to repent of their victimization mindset and start taking responsibility for themselves and their families. I would also hope that the evangelistic campaign in the heart of Detroit would also draw whites from the surrounding communities who repent as well for their racist attitudes and bigotry and lack of love or concern for their black neighbor.

If there is true repentance, maybe then, there can be hope for change (sounds like an Obama campaign slogan) along with solid teaching from the Word of God on loving God, loving your neighbor, on the Good Samaritan, righteousness and walking uprightly, hating evil and loving that which is good—then maybe, Detroit can be reborn from the ashes of hopelessness and despair

Islam's Trojan Horse--the "All-American Muslim" .

Before you read today's post, do me a favor and go halfway down the column on the right and sign-up to become a member. Right now, there are ONLY 22 members to this blog--that's pitiful. As Obama said, "I might as well just pack it in and go home." Ok....maybe I won't, but it would help boost my self-esteem if a many of you who are reading this post would sign-up as members, get your little face icon on there, and then you get my post delivered to your email in-box a couple times a week, or less. As Nike used to say, "Just do it!!!"

Now on to more important matters...

Islam and Sharia law are making inroads here in the United States. You might wonder how this is happening? It's sometimes referred to as "stealth jihad" or the "Trojan Horse" effect.

Most Muslims believe that they are obliged to confront and subdue non-Muslims (insert your name here) until every nation adopts sharia. Radical Islamists want to impose Sharia law by the edge of the sword or through terrorist acts, while non-violent Islamists want to patiently follow a sophisticated strategy of imposing sharia law through a society's institutions.

For the past several decades, there has been an effort underway to infiltrate and dominate American institutions. Many of our most prestigious schools like Cornell, Harvard, Georgetown, etc. are recipients of Arab money to set up special programs and chairs and to fund new professors. This money also serves to silence the university on matters of the Middle East. You will find very little criticism of Islam or Arab states coming from these schools that receive Arab dollars. However, it's very fashionable to criticize Israel and of course, your Arab sponsors encourage it and may even write you a bonus contribution check. Muslims have pledged to conquer America. They have launched a stealth jihad right under our nose.

4  Christian missionaries arrested at Dearborn's Arab Festival

Islamists have a knack for finding the weak links in our society and exploiting them to their advantage. The city of Dearborn, Michigan is the heaviest concentration of Muslim immigrants in the U.S. I've been there and  it looks like a Middle Eastern city with 32 mosques in Dearborn alone! I visited one of them during prayers on a Friday afternoon.

Last June, four Christian missionaries were arrested by uniformed police outside an Arab Festival. They were accused of disturbing the peace. Their crime? They were handing out copies of St. John's Gospel on a public street. One of the missionaries managed to videotape the goings-on, at least, until his camera was seized. Plainly, they were not engaged in a form of incitement or public commotion--not in the United States. What these four missionaries were violating was sharia law--specifically, its prohibition against preaching other religions, other than Islam. And the Dearborn police, paid for by taxes of all the people, were the willing accomplices who helped enforce Shariah law rather than the constitutional right to free assembly and freedom of religion.

Islam is using our own democracy to destroy us. That's where the Trojan Horse analogy comes into play. When I visited the Arab-American Festival in Dearborn, Michigan along with several Christian friends, I saw several booths set-up to register Muslims in the Democrat Party. Republicans need not bother--they are NOT welcome in Dearborn. The Democrat Party is the home of Islam and stealth jihad. They know that by becoming politically active here in the U.S., they can affect public policy and institute Sharia law into our courts, schools, public institutions including our local police departments, as is the case in Dearborn.

Recently, a judge was petitioned by Muslim prison inmates for the right to congregate as a group to pray 5 times a day to Allah. Even though this poses a great security risk and all kinds of logistical problems for the prison, the judge, wanting to be tolerant of Islam, granted their request. But, here's the rub-there is NOTHING in Islam that says you have to pray together as a group. You can pray to Allah 5 times a day in your cell by yourself.


Here in the West, our experts and elitists are so desperate to believe that there is no such thing as an Islamic threat, they won't even use the word, "Islamic terrorist." You can't say that term if you are in the Obama administration, or the Associated Press, or NBC (politically-correct Comcast), USA Today, etc.

One of the goals of Islam's Trojan Horse strategy is to establish autonomous Muslim enclaves, parallel societies that are adherent to sharia law. This is exactly what has happened in Dearborn, Michigan. This enclave strategy has been implemented to great effect in Europe. Muslims are now capitalizing on their growth and strength in Europe to push for the adoption of shariah law. In England, any criticism of Islam can be deemed "hate speech." Britons are now being banned from swimming at a popular sports club in London during "Muslim men only" sessions.

Canada has voted to repeal its traditional embrace of Judeo-Christian religious tribunals for the voluntary settling of family law matters. This was done to appease the Muslims in their country. It counted for nothing that Judaism and Christianity, the dominant religious traditions of North America, promote harmony and tolerance within the Canadian society. It counts for nothing when the enclave strategy is fueling an agressive promotion of sharia law.

Terrorist-killer, Maj. Nidal Hassan, Ft. Hood massacre, Nov. 5, 2009

By the end of 1992, after a contentious meeting of over 40 Muslim Brotherhood leaders at a Days Inn on the Georgia-Tennessee border, and decision was made to create a new entity that would not call itself the Muslim Brotherhood, but would instead call itself the "Muslim American Society."

MAS members would be instructed to dodge all questions about their Brotherhood ties by saying that they were "independent" and that of course, they were "opposed to terrorism" while at the same time pointing out that "jihad" was one of each Muslim's "divine legal rights" to be used both in self-defense and for the spread of Islam. They were told to obscure their tenets from outsiders, so that Americans could not know that they believed that America, religion and politics could not be separated and that all three had to come under the umbrella of sharia law.

They would remain guarded about their ultimate goal, the transformation of the United States into an Islamic country under Islamic law. They would keep their plan for achieving that goal under wraps. The goal: to use the democratic process to elect likeminded Muslims to political office and to seed likeminded Muslims through the U.S. government bureaucracies, while ever more Americans were being converted to Islam, and more and more American muslims were being born.

So far, they're accomplishing all their goals under the radar, while most Americans are asleep and our watchful media and press give Islam a free pass every time? Why? Next time: Islam and the Revolutionary Left---Strange Bedfellows!
