As the 2012 Presidential and Congressional races begin, the incumbent Democrats are beginning to try out their tried-and-true sound bites – ‘Racism‘, ‘Jim Crow‘, lynching, and ‘TEA Party‘.  There will be a steady daily diet of these charges for the next 14 months, and many voters will be duly intimidated.

47% [about200,000] of Detroit’s residents are ‘functionally illiterate‘. They can’t read a want ad, fill out a job application, read a newspaper, – or a ballot. Wow! How’d that happen?
