JACKSON IS NO HELP

Jesse Jackson, what does he really do? I've got a pretty good idea.

First, he comes to the Lowcountry and quickly proceeds to polarize people: 
blacks against whites, police against the people they have promised to 
serve and protect, schools and school districts against the students and 
their parents. And if that is not bad enough, Jesse uses these difficult 
and serious situations for personal and financial gain for his Rainbow/PUSH 
Coalition. Incredible!

To top it all off, on "Talkback" with Warren Peper, Jesse had the nerve to 
talk about how our policemen and school officials have lost their "moral 
authority" because of these recent incidents. Please! Moral authority? How 
about a "Reverend" who was caught having an affair and a child with another 
woman besides his wife?

Do we have some problems to solve in the Lowcountry? We certainly do, but 
we would be much better off without Jesse Jackson's help. He is not a part 
of the solution. He is part of the problem.
