Don't believe the hype when they say no redistribution of wealth

The Associated Press: Thousands mob Detroit center in hopes of free cash

Thousands mob Detroit center in hopes of free cash
By COREY WILLIAMS (AP) – 38 minutes ago

DETROIT — Police say authorities had to break up scuffles after thousands of Detroit residents tried to apply for free federal money.

Long lines snaked into a downtown center Wednesday morning, but applications ran out quickly on the final day to get paperwork for a homelessness prevention program.

Police say fights broke out as people pushed and shoved for spots in line. Several people have been treated for fainting and exhaustion.

City officials say many falsely believed they were registering for $3,000 stimulus checks from the Obama administration.

The federally funded program is for low-income residents who recently became homeless or are near homelessness. At least one in four Detroit households is in poverty.

It's just about right, when you consider the size of our potential opponents (Russia, China, or a combo of both) while simultaneously needing the ability to defend the majority of North America (Mexicans and Canadians are both a little light on F-22's and Apaches).

Dude, you're utterly clueless on this. Defend against what? The Chinese invasion of Wal-Mart? WTF do the Russians have? They get a hard on when they overrun small countries on their border they outnumber 100-to-1 in population...

I think it's a little late for that.

We need some sort of new word for these posts.

Can I suggest anti-posts?

Posts that after you read them you actually know less.

Sesh, you posted a classic definition of anything GAR posts around here.

OK Patton has spoken...

They are a POTENTIAL Threat, no matter what you may think about the ACTUAL chances of an attack. The weapons are in place as a strategic deterrent, as they should be.

We are largely a socialist population...

I prefer Gen. Lucian Truscott...

They're relatively poor, spend a fraction of what we do on the military, and if it were just about defending North America, we'd spend a fraction of the annual budget on defense do now.
