This past week, the Bush administration touted that there was a 30 percent drop (from 175,914 in 2005 to 123,833 in 2007) in the number of "chronically homeless" people in the nation -- those who are unaccompanied, disabled and have been homeless for longer than one year. I have my differences with the Bush administration, but credit needs to be given where credit is due. It is a step in the right direction that 50,000 more "chronically homeless" (of the roughly 750,000 total homeless in the U.S.) are off the streets, out of shelters and in secure environments. (Not counted here are those recently affected by the swell of foreclosures -- 739,714 filings in the second quarter of 2008 alone.) If we fail with "Operation Patriotism", the Liberal media, schools, and government train our future generations! Operation Patriotism, documentary DVD, is a powerful Patriotism war weapon to win American hearts and minds by preserving Patriotic symbols and traditions… The American Flag The "Old Glory" history presented by a crack U. S. Military Unit to live audiences in community settings across America, raising up inspired Patriots with values! The Pledge of Allegiance "Under God" is not all Liberals want to "change"! Operation Patriotism presents in satire a dangerous liberal newspaper editor "rewriting" the Pledge of Allegiance, too realistic to ignore! Click Here to Learn More |
In particular, the executive director of the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness, Philip Mangano, should be commended for leading communities across the country to develop plans for reducing homelessness. Also very helpful are the community outreaches by Rolling Thunder and other groups that are extending their helping hands to homeless veterans. I'm not writing this column to propose some one-size-fits-all homeless solution. I'm writing it because I thought, even though Congress left on a five-week hiatus without helping us with our energy (gas) crisis, I want to encourage Americans not to follow suit and turn a blind eye to the needs of others around us -- even on vacation. I realize that caring for the homeless in particular can often be complicated, and we never should jeopardize our safety in doing so. But we can't allow complications or even callousness to stop our compassion. Let me give you a recent example of how my family was reminded of that. "Dangerous Liberals" Card Deck Calls Obama's Bluff  We've always known that liberals aren't "playing with a full deck," but it's never been more evident than during the 2008 Elections. HUMAN EVENTS has identified which liberals to keep an eye on during the 2008 elections. Each card in the brand new 2008 Election Edition of the "52 Most Dangerous Liberals in America" Card Deck features a "Dangerous Liberal" and a self-condemning quote to back up why that particular Leftist has made the cut to be included in this notorious deck.
