I write this editorial today, not with smugness or with an attitude of haughtiness, But one of sadness and dismay for my beloved city in which I grew up. I sit here tonight at 4:19 A.M. absolutely disgusted by what I read about the Mayor of the City of Detroit.
It seems that Detroit’s Democrat Mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick is involved, in yet, another scandal. This is because Kilpatrick supposedly “pulled strings” to get some Baptist Preacher off some Prostitution Charges.
Local Station WXYZ-TV’s Steve Wilson has the story:
I simply am going to ask this, What in the name of the Almighty God, is it going to take for Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to resign as Detroit’s Mayor? Will it take dragging his poor mother through the mud? Will it take the State of Michigan to file charges against this man and him possibly him ending up in jail, and ruining his family?
How is it that a man, who seems to believe that he is on some sort of Messianic mission to be the Mayor of the City of Detroit, can simply be deluded enough in his own mind to believe that he is above the law? Christians are no more above the law, than anyone else in this wonderful Country of ours. The very idea that the Mayor of the City Detroit knowingly lied under oath to protect himself and his female lover for a lawsuit speaks to the very core of the Kilpatrick’s soul. In that soul, I see not a man who has been changed by Christ, but rather a dark soul, who will do anything to avoid being held accountable for his actions.
Yet, when the very citizens of the city that Kilpatrick was sworn to serve, attempt to hold Kilpatrick accountable. People like the local Detroit media, the first that that this liberal thug likes to play is, of course, the race card.
“I have never been called…. A nigger”
They were the words that sent shockwaves around this city. An African-American Democrat Mayor, who just months previous to this had marched with the N.A.A.C.P. to ceremonially bury the N-Word forever was now lashing out at those who dared to question him about his conduct, while in office.
What started out as a local story, has now evolved, into national disgrace, a disgrace to the Democrat Party; of which Presidential hopeful Barack Obama was not seen with, at all, for fear it would hurt his campaign. A disgrace to all of the African-America leaders who gave their lives, got their heads beaten in, all so some Mayor could act like he was above the law.
However, is not that what Socialism is, an attitude of entitlement? You must give me this, because I am black? It is certainly, what the Democrat Party promotes in their ideology.
It is anyone’s guess how this will all play out. If Kilpatrick had any semblance of common sense; which seems to be in short supply within the Democrat Party these days, (just look who is running for President), Kilpatrick would resign and give the City of Detroit it’s sense of dignity back.
However, I know that will not happen. Because in Kilpatrick’s mind, Jesus put him in that position and only Jesus will get him out.
That, my friends, is the disgrace of Detroit.

What a disgrace indeed. Him and his buddy Eliot Spitzer need to keep their pants zipped up big time.
