Title: Memphis officially dangerous... Post by WD on 04/26/13 at 20:41:37 The police say so... These have been popping up all over the city limits. I find the truth in advertising rather refreshing... http://media.commercialappeal.com/media/img/photos/2013/04/23/900255_t607.JPG |

Title: Re: Memphis officially dangerous... Post by Dane Allen on 04/27/13 at 01:13:49 Is it more that the city doesn't support an overpaid union or is it about gun rights? Anyone know? |

Title: Re: Memphis officially dangerous... Post by srinath on 04/28/13 at 19:15:58 You do know that back door gun for drugs exchange program the police there run as you have said earlier plus this notice is a case of the cops playing both sides dont you ? They seem to be opening up their guns to criminals (who else will bring drugs to buy guns) while declaring they cant do their job cos its too hard ... Pinching the baby and rocking the cradle. Cool.

Title: Re: Memphis officially dangerous... Post by WD on 04/28/13 at 23:55:57 Highest grossing pimps in the city have badges... ::) City council member is a convicted prostitute and spouse abuser (and she's ugly as sin to boot)... ::) Another city council member is one of the city's "elite" crime family's well placed members (others have served in the state senate)... ::) Hood rats all... ;) People not from here find the city's nickname of "Memfrica" to be "crude, demeaning, insensitive, racist, blah blah blah"... I've been to Africa twice, believe me, it's accurate. |

Title: Re: Memphis officially dangerous... Post by Pine on 04/29/13 at 13:09:24 Wow... WD thats tough. Jackson is right there as well. Nobody wants to live... of any race. I dont think jackson police care enough to even put up a billboard. Its well known that the Memphis strip club owners also own one of the clubs in Jackson. I am not sure how that all works, but then I would be worried if I did know. |

Title: Re: Memphis officially dangerous... Post by WD on 04/29/13 at 16:35:21 I hate Jackson MS, it was bad when I'd roll through there in the mid-late 90s and it was 10x worse when I went through there to deal with Hurricane Irene and our Bay St Louis property. If it wasn't so far out of the way, I'd run 45 through Meridian all the way down and wind through the coastal backroads to bypass "Bilious-y and Gulfpit" (Biloxi and Gulfport). |

Title: Re: Memphis officially dangerous... Post by srinath on 04/29/13 at 20:00:13 MS and TN 2 more of those states that have been deep red for a century or more ... Like SC ... TEA party darling Nikki Haley cut welfare from 270 to 216 ... and almost immediately realized her mistake when the people of NJ sent her a thank you note ... (a joke by one of the local talk show people) Cool. Srinath. |

Sri.... pretty sure I know more about MS than you and the next 1000 people you know. As for it being deep red or having much to do with the Tea party... again I know first hand where things stand. The position MS is in has much more to do with Dems (or all of politicians) in washington and carpet baggers than anything the actual population of the state can do. In fact JUST this morning they reported how a group of democrats are demotrating to keep section 5 going. You know section 5, thats were washington looks at votes and then decides what gonna happen regardless of the votes. (ah kinda why we revolted against the King to begin with) http://www.justice.gov/crt/about/vot/sec_5/about.php |

Title: Re: Memphis officially dangerous... Post by srinath on 04/30/13 at 11:34:06 And yet Pine - evidence says ... MISSISSIPPI VOTING HISTORY Last 10 Elections ( State voted with the overall winning candidate) 1976 D [Winner: Jimmy Carter] 1980 R [Winner: Ronald Reagan] 1984 R [Winner: Ronald Reagan] 1988 R [Winner: George Bush] 1992 R 1996 R 2000 R [Winner: George W. Bush] 2004 R [Winner: George W. Bush] 2008 R 2012 R Here is more in text - Like many southern states, Mississippi voted almost exclusively with the Democratic Party from Reconstruction through the early 1960s, when civil rights legislation and a Republican tactic called the “Southern Strategy” helped turn the state “red.” Three times since World War II, Mississippi has voted all its electors for third-party candidates, more than any other state. Since 1972, the state has voted Republican, except for 1976 when it supported Jimmy Carter of Georgia. Unlike many other southern states, Mississippi has not experienced great population growth; the 2000 census led to the state being reduced from seven to six electoral votes, the lowest number since 1848. In 2012, Mitt Romney easily won the state by 55% to Barack Obama's 44%. Impressive for republicommunsts - dont you think ... Cool. Srinath. |

Title: Re: Memphis officially dangerous... Post by Midnightrider on 04/30/13 at 12:15:32 I think the Memphis Police should provide everyone with no criminal background a gun who doesnt have one or is traveling through town. If you cant do your job there's nothing wrong with asking for assistance. See what happens to the crime rates. |

Communism was not characterized by high taxes all the way across. The lower and middle incomes were taxed heavily (like my 23% or more in some other cases) and the higher incomes like say RMoney were taxed @ lower rates say like 13% cos they are managers or Job creators. And they want to be even lower taxes for themselves. Therefore Republicans like RMoney are communists of the 21st century. I'll say republican communists if you prefer since you complained about my composite "republicommunists" Then comes the slightly inferential part. You know the recent gun bill was defeated by 4 democraps among the republican communists voting against it. One of them was a long term Democrat senator from Montana called Max Bauchus. Pro gun, heavily pro gun. OK now about Montana. You can verify all of this ... Montana in the last 40 years has gone for the republican communist by double digits in all except 92. Dunno maybe lots of fat chicks turned up there in 92 and voted for clinton ... dunno ... but this is one very very red state. The local politicians can change their stance depending on how their state is ... the national party does not. A Montana democrap is very republican communist ... Same with Missisippi. Same with CA, NJ, NY etc etc in the opposite direction. You take a Montana democrat and drop him in the CA republican communist convention they would wonder why he is so far to the right. Mississippi's problems in this case are caused by Mississippi democrats ... who are in normal terms republican communist light. So dont quite blame democraps for the problems of MS or TN. The D is only in name. They are just light republican communists. Something like this wont apply to any state that has flip flopped over the years. OH, FL, NC, VA, CO, etc etc. In the hard core red or blue states the other party is purple. Cool. Srinath. |

Yea they should, and they should use the guns they are trading out the back door for drugs to certainly people who are criminals. Double benefit if you ask me. Seriously though if you complain to enough people in the position of authority enough times the problem will eventually get taken care of. From experience here ... Cool. Srinath. |

Title: Re: Memphis officially dangerous... Post by WD on 04/30/13 at 21:14:49 The rest of the state wants to see the city of Memphis implode, so... we're just kicking back to watch the show. |

Looks like all the Elvis and music tourist would wanna make the powers that be clean up the town. They're losing a lot of tourist money.Then you have that ex Goldman Sachs Lowlife running Chicago. Crime rates keep soaring and he lays off half the police force. That extra money is probably in that little house in the Caymans. I'm sure Goldman Sachs taught him well. |

This is a real estate site, they don't want to scare off potential clients, and the scores for Memphis versus national averages are horrifying. http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/tn/memphis/crime/ I live on the county line about 30 road miles north of Beale Street. |

Title: Re: Memphis officially dangerous... Post by Pine on 05/01/13 at 09:04:08 Unlike many other southern states, Mississippi has not experienced great population growth; the 2000 census led to the state being reduced from seven to six electoral votes, the lowest number since 1848. In 2012, Mitt Romney easily won the state by 55% to Barack Obama's 44%. Impressive for republicommunsts - dont you think ... Cool. I was a republician delegate for the local district, I attended the county republician convention and was at the building but not allowed to enter for the statewide republican convention. Romney BOUGHT/stole the MS nomination. The states GOP is currently run by a very few, very rich and very powerful people. There are NOW many unhappy "republician" voters in MS. If the states GOP does not attract the latino vote, they will be hurting. Note: MS President Republician Votes 2012 Romney 55.5% 674302 2008 McCain 56.2% 724,597 2004 Bush 59.44% 684,981 See a trend? Still, the local politics were dictated by out of state powers. Romney got the GOP MS nom, but very very few MS wanted him ( I suspect less than 30%) But once he got the nom, they pressed for beating Obama and yes basically the race card. At that point die hard repubs had no choice. However, the MS gop has LOST voters who are now Tea party ( kicked out of the MS repub, or libertiarian again kicked out). Guess who DIDNT vote repub?? and there you see it.. a loss of nearly 4% since Bush of 2004. You should also note that MS tends to vote "Mason Dixon" as much as anything.. Ie Carter, Bush, exception for Clinton. I would be willing to bet that had obama not been black and had the democrat been a southerner.. GOP would have lost so hard in MS that they might just close up shop. Such is MS. |

Title: Re: Memphis officially dangerous... Post by srinath on 05/01/13 at 09:58:59 Yea getting less and less red ... and that is cos the illegals are overrunning the place ? or their base is dying ? ... anyway your state's problems are cos its deep red ... the fact that it is not crimson now but just vermillion makes little difference now but it would in a few decades ... let me know after a few cycles of being a swing state. And yes RMoney stole the nomination ... that is true. And a big YES on the southern white democrat winning MS ... cos they are republican from the old school. Fiscally conservative, pro small biz, socially conservative, pro gun = southern democrat. And overall this is not a bad combo. This is old school republican. Fiscally liberal, pro rich tax cuts, pro big business, socially liberal, pro gun = National republican. Fiscally liberal, anti rich tax cuts, pro union, socially liberal, anti gun = national democrat. Anyway MS is deep red. Much like CA is deep blue. BTW when Arnold schwarznegger was running for and won the recall election for CA guvernator with 37% of the votes you know what people said ... he could have easily doubled his victory margin by running independent. Cool. Srinath. |

Fiscally conservative, pro small biz, socially conservative, pro gun = southern democrat. And overall this is not a bad combo. This is old school republican. It would help if they are a veteran. Such status still means something down here. Unfortunately, most of the candidates that run on a D ticket fit the national mold. Cutting off their own noses to spite their faces, in order to get their spot at the public trough... |

Even better if they are a veteran of the civil war ... ;D However - I dont agree with the next point - If they were a National democrat in a crimson red state they dont have a prayer ... They are very red democrats ... they would be republicans if you dropped them off in a battleground state like Ohio. If you drop em off at a republican convention in say CA, those guys will wonder why these guys are so extreme. Democrat or republican is relative in local politics. States that have been one party for several cycles tend to have both parties that are on the same side of the center. Montana democrats are pro gun and voted against the gun bill recently. D or R is relative. Cool. Srinath. |

Its the base.. but not just a simple "base is dying". With Obama there is re-newed sense "abilty" among democrats.. ie blacks are motovated to participate in politics (vote). Thus even if the same amount of republicians vote thier way... the percentage shifts because more people are voting and NOT voting republician. Add to that, the national republician ideal ( your post above).. to MOST MS republicians is the LAST thing they would vote for given any other choice (except... yeah, race). Again the national GOP and the MS GOP have delcared WAR on the tea party and libertarians. We are summarily "kicked out" of participating in that party. The Tea party in MS is dead. The liberatarians, which is not a party, but an ideal, is not. In fact just as you mentioned.. libertarians are working hard to make us a "swing state" .. ie actively fighting against republicians. The sword swings both ways... dont kick us out of the party and expect us to vote party anyway (which was thier exact expectation for Romney). And locally.. dont support GOP national norms and expect us to support you. Our favortite target.. repug senators that "kinda sorta" support libertarian ideals. Liberty or death... the politicians death MS ... its like its own little country |

Title: Re: Memphis officially dangerous... Post by srinath on 05/02/13 at 12:12:16 Oh OK the black voted cos there was a black man in the race ... that made a closer margin. OK I guess the state is redder than the 10% margin suggests ... Y'know you just made my point even sharper didn't you. Either way ... long running states of 1 color ... both parties are that color ... one deeper than the other. Else they will never get elected. NC - is also a mostly red state ... almost parallel to MS except 08. It was close in 12, and RMoney's 100K margin was helped by reverse coattails cos we hated Bev Perdue ... Much like she was helped by OBama coattails in 08. Cool. Srinath. |
