MSNBC: GOV. GEORGE WALLACE WAS A REPUBLICAN by JOEL B. POLLAK 12 Jun 2013, 6:05 AM PDT MSNBC's All Inwith Chris Hayes tried to rewrite history on Tuesday, describing the late segregationist Gov. George Wallace of Alabama as a Republican. Wallace was a Democrat--as were most Jim Crow-era leaders.Hayes was trying to draw a parallel between the recent National Security Agency surveillance scandals and the extensive efforts by the U.S. government to spy on civil rights activists and black radicals in the 1960s. The federal government then, too, was governed by Democrats. As Rich Lowry noted recently, Democrats are often at great pains to blame Republicans for their own sordid racist history. And often, they succeed. Wallace, who later recanted his racist politics, has been a favored symbol of the left and the media lately to describe Republican opposition to President Barack Obama's agenda, such as his immigration reform policy.

Most long time homeowners in da hoods never move and don't believe in mortgages. Few speculators even want to mess with those areas so values didn't move up much even at the peak in 2006 so little equity extraction took place in the hoods for starters... Of course some took the 'free' money as it was shoved down their throats in 2003-07 but that didn't bring down the entire financial system to the brink of Great Depression 2.. It was all the new construction, speculation and prices tripling and quadrupling in a matter of 3-5 years via high leverage that set the stage

JESSE JACKSON JR. TO GRAB $8,700 PER MONTH IN DISABILITY, PLUS PENSION IN PRISON Convicted Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL) is scheduled to receive $8,700 per month in government disability pay, as well as a partial federal pension of $45,000. That generous $8,700 in disability comes thanks to Jackson’s sudden development of a “mood disorder” as the federal government began looking to indict him. Jackson, who was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison, had no history of mental illness during his prior 17 years in Congress. Rev. Jesse Jackson has defended his son’s claims of mental illness, stating to the court, “This time a year ago I thought we may have lost him.”
