the latest Woodpile Report is up.

Ol’Remus on Detroit:
‘..We Shall Overcome wasn’t understood as a dewey-eyed ideal in Detroit, it was understood as a blatant threat and license for violent aggression. And aggression there was. Noncombatants started leaving after the 1967 riots and, as it went on, literally without end, fully half the population self-evacuated. Since the year 2000, another twenty-five per cent have left. A quarter of Detroit’s 140 square miles is deserted outright. Much of what’s left makes mere squalor look good…’
The inevitable endpoint of “progressivism”…read it and weep.

Dunedin Council’s thieving bastards:

‘The humble sausage sizzle could soon come with a serving of red tape in the deep South.
Dunedin City Council is considering charging schools, clubs and other not-for-profit groups $16 register their sausage sizzles.
….The changes were part of a drive by the council’s environmental health team to offset the rising cost of policing a growing number of fundraising events and community markets, team leader Ros MacGill said…’
When did a council department magically become a “team”?  I’ve yet to come into contact with any bureaucrat who understood the meaning of the term. And if this rip-off is to “offset the cost of policing” then how about cutting back on useless leftard social programs, funded from ratepayer’s money? Better still, they could simply mind their own fucking business. I detest these bastards–if every one of ’em contracted cholera, I’d feel sorry for the cholera bug.

Liar-in-Chief

‘ ..Occupy Oakland protesters broke into City Hall, stole an American flag from the City Council chamber and set it on fire Saturday night, punctuating a wild day in which police deployed tear gas, arrested more than 400 marchers and dodged hurling objects. Demonstrators spent the day trying to break into a convention center and temporarily occupying City Hall and a YMCA…’
“They’re not that different from some of the protests that we saw coming from the Tea Party.” — Barack Obama

The disaster relief racket:

‘..Haiti’s prime minister has pointed out that 40 per cent of aid money supports the foreigners handing it out. Undoubtedly, huge sums have been wasted: for example, humanitarian groups paid double local rates for lorry loads of water.
One car dealer sold more than 250 Toyota Land Cruisers a month at £40,000 each. ‘You see traffic jams at Friday lunchtime of all the white NGO and UN four-wheel drives heading off early to the beaches for the weekend,’ said one Irish aid worker. ‘It makes me sick.’..’        HERE

“Get the Hell Out of the United States of America”

Allen West:
“Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else. You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America.”

‘Allen West being redistricted out of existence in effort led by Romney Florida spokesman
The establishment is fighting back, alright.
This has not received a lot of national attention, but the Republican legislature in Florida is about to push through a plan which puts Allen West at serious risk, and the person leading the effort is one of Mitt Romney’s spokemen…’
Thanks to Pascal for the tip.
