Actually, suburbanization started even before the turn of the century. In fact, segregation by income was fairly common even then. What you call “white flight” is actually repeated by members of minority groups whenever their incomes increase. When minorities do it it is called taking advantage of opportunity, when whites do it is called racism.

Actually the white flight of the 70’s and 80’s were are DIRECT result of educational bussing and parents not wanting their children to go to school with black kids. It’s a well recognized phenomena.

Why ever? St. Louis is a fine city.

The Vietnamese boat people who were processed here at Ft. Chaffee tended to stay in the Fort Smith area. I’m proud to say that as a Vietnamese speaker, I assisted those people some in getting established.

You speak Vietnamese? WOW! That’s a different and rather specific skill to have.

I’m guess there’s no good pho near you?
 
Archbishop Chaput: Democrats Have ‘Gotten Worse’ on Abortion Because Catholics Haven’t Abandoned Them
In a video interview with Catholic News Service, Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia said that the position of the Democrat Party on abortion has “gotten worse” over time because Catholics within the party haven’t taken a strong moral stand and shown a willingness to abandon the Democrat Party.

“I think many of the Democrats have [taken] Democrat Catholic votes for granted because they’ll go with them no matter what the party position might be on abortion,” Archbishop Chaput said. “That’s why the position of the Democrat Party has gotten worse, and worse, and worse as time goes on because Catholics haven’t abandoned them as they’ve moved in that direction.”

Chaput said that in the earliest days of the abortion debate in the United States, most people probably thought that the Republican Party would’ve “easily embraced abortion,” and that Democrats would have been the political party standing for the defense of life because of the large number of Catholics within the party.

“Catholics have been historically part of the Democrat Party in great numbers, and I think really could’ve stopped that great development movement if they tried, but they didn’t in order to accommodate people from the other side of the issue,” he said.

The Archbishop also said that you can’t always trust the Republican Party to stand for the defense of life either.

“You know you can’t trust the Republicans to be pro-life 20 years from now. You can’t let any party take your vote for granted,” said Chaput.

Archbishop Chaput called on Catholics in the United States to put their Catholic identity ahead of their political party, and even their American citizenship, to stand united with the Church’s moral teaching opposing abortion.

“We’re Catholics before we’re Democrats. We’re Catholics before we’re Republicans. We’re even Catholics before we’re Americans because we know that God has a demand on us prior to any government demand on us,” he said. “And this has been the story of the martyrs through the centuries.”

“[Abortion] is a very serious issue that requires absolute adherence on the part of Catholics,” the Archbishop said, “and if we don’t stand united on this issue we’re bound to failure—not only in the area of protecting unborn human life but in maintaining our religious freedom.”

I sent in my absentee ballot last week, voting for Romney and Ryan.
I feel confident I made the best choice.
Only thing is, I can’t tell most people I know because I’m not sure they’ll bite my head off or not.:eek:
I don’t recall an election being so filled with hatred and stupidity. Or maybe I just wasn’t that aware in the past.
In any event, God help us to be a great and happy country again.

Show me the study establishing the causation. Not the correlation, but the causation.

The President was agressive, but I think his points missed the mark. His condescending comments about “your investments in China” (the President Illinois pension is also vested in those companies, and he has about as much control over those as Romney does over a blind trust…
Click to expand...
As Biden would say; malarky. Romney knew about those investments. He was called out on them back in 2007 and promised to divest himself of those items but, here we are, 5 years later and he’s still indirectly funding Iran’s nuclear program. If the media and your political opponents can so easily find out what they are then you can’t claim ignorance.

Perhaps not but its clear from whom the world would be most receptive when it comes to diplomacy.

Bayonet firms rip commander in chief’s 'ignorance’
TMZ spoke with multiple people in the bayonet industry who tell us they were shocked and even offended when Obama brought up the weapon during last night’s debate.

According to the official U.S. Marine Corps website, every Marine is STILL required to complete a bayonet training program … because “the weapon becomes just as effective [as a rifle] in close combat situations.”
