Arthur Schaper: Mind Your Own Business, Mister Governor
Friday, July 26, 2013
There's Reverend Al Sharpton, who lost lots of weight, his every bid for the White House, and all credibility since his racist profiling of the Duke University Lacrosse team. Then there's Reverend Jesse Jackson, a failed politician who invidiously described New York City as "Hymie-town", fathered a child out of wedlock, and claimed live that he wanted to cut off President Obama's private parts. Of course President Obama has also injected himself into the racial uproar following the Zimmerman verdict, claiming that "I would have been Trayvon Martin thirty-five years ago." President Obama descemds from mixed heritage, born in Hawaii, raised in Indonesia, attended private schools, graduate from Harvard (where he edited the Law Review), then lived in high-class wealth in Illinois organizing communities, voting "present" in the state legislature, then from US Senator to become President in four years. That's right, Barry, just put on a hoodie and the "white Hispanics" will get you.
Beyond Sharpton, Jackson, and Obama, Deval Patrick of Massachusetts the second African-American governor in US History, also voiced his criticism on the Zimmerman verdict. He must think that everyone in Massachusetts wears a hoodie, like the deceased Trayvon Martin, since his attention to a criminal trial in Florida has taken such precedence over many pressing matters in the Commonwealth:
"But of what I understand the facts, it's a chilling thought that you can be in a neighborhood out buying a soda or a pack of Skittles and have your life taken from you by somebody who just thinks you don't look like you belong there."
What's really chilling, however, is that the most famous name in Boston is James "Whitey" Bulger, a career Irish mafia thug who still puts the hit on residents. Yet Boston residents have more respect for the mobster than the legal crooks who inhabit (or rather inhibit) good governance in Beacon Hill. Bulger was an honest crook, unlike Patrick and his Democratic cronies.
About neighborhoods, Patrick should investigate the Congressmen-turned Senators who do not even live in the neighborhoods they claim to represent (Markey, anyone?). Of course, Patrick might want to consider why more residents are fleeing Massachusetts neighborhoods. Not because they fear for the lives, but rather they resist the hooded government overreach into their lives which has expanded under Patrick's administration. From higher taxes and government regulations gone wild, people are getting shot and wounded every day in the Bay State because of the cost of living and doing business in their state. Recently, Governor Patrick enacted price controls on health care, since RomneyCare has not cared for the better interests of Massachusetts. Granted, former Governor Willard "Mitt" Romney never cared for the dependent 47% in this country, yet now they comprise 70% and growing in Massachusetts because of Patrick and his pilfering policies.
Regarding soda and skittles, Patrick proposed taxing those goodies this year. Instead of telling people to watch their intake, why doesn't he watch the outflow from Beacon Hill? How about cutting the crap and "busting a cap" in the spending spree which is bankrupting Massachusetts? With a tax on soda and candy, every child, black or white, will have to look over his shoulder, wondering if the taxman is going to hit him with higher costs. Massachusetts already has one of the highest tax burdens in the country, and now Patrick has profiled everyone, even the kids, for their money.
Patrick continued (unfortunately):
"We all suffer from the suppositions that we make about people based on what they look like and where they are and whether you think they belong where they are."
With the way that Governor Patrick runs Massachusetts, he must assume that everyone is wearing a hoodie which reads "Dumb, blind, and Made of Money". Patrick must assume that they are blind to his dumb policies, which have diminished security and prosperity for his constituents. He thinks that everyone is made of money, and owes the state everything and more. Then again, perhaps Patrick believes that residents are made for money, as in other people's. Like most Bay State residents, the Tsarnaev brothers were living off welfare when they blew up the Boston Marathon. Like many minority youth, kids in Massachusetts struggle in strangled public schools, where the "free and compulsory" education has granted them nothing but bondage and dependence, all paid for by the taxpayer.
Instead of complaining about the Zimmerman verdict, Governor Patrick should mind his own business, take off the "hoodie" of big government and poor leadership, and demand justice for the residents in Massachusetts.
