As a resident of one the greatest cities in the Republic, I find Mayor Michael Nutter guilty of the following crimes against residents of Philadelphia:
•His failure to be an effective mayor for the city of Philadelphia.
• His proposed cuts of an additional $20 million to services such as libraries, swimming pools, and recreation centers.
• His disgraceful handling of the SEPTA Strike reported throughout the nation as a national disgrace.
• His failure to provide funding for quality programs for youth and adolescents.
• His lack of leadership to hire an individual(s) to combat an increase of more than 49% of adolescents not completing school, graduating functioning illiterates, and failure to fix public schools' decaying infrastructure.
• His failure as Mayor of Philadelphia to make even the most “minuscule effort” in combating the continued increase of corrupt city elected officials.
In finding Mayor Nutter guilty, he should be sentenced to a life-time banishment of serving Philadelphians as an elected official. The handing down of this decision will deter individuals seeking political office who campaign as effective public officials to get elected and be hopelessly "ineffective."
Mr. Nutter is the worst mayor Philadelphia has ever had, and what makes it all the more "ghastly" is he may easily be reelected in 2012.
Four more years of Michael Nutter as mayor is equivalent to strapping me to a chair and forcing me to watch Glenn Beck or the cast of New Jersey Shore for 24 hours straight with no commercial interruptions.
Is there anyone in Philadelphia that will challenge him in 2012?
Conversely, Mayor Nutter is an embarrassing disgrace to one of the Republics great cities.

“The Way I see it, the Confederate Flag is a Symbol of Treason.”
The way I see it, the Confederate Flag is a symbol of treason, and those who support it are criminals.
When South Carolina followed by Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas left the Republic, Southern politicians created a new constitution, a flag, and a new name for their country--the Confederate States of America. In this act they were asserting that states had a right to secede from the United States. But they were wrong! The government of the United States of America regarded secession as illegal and refused to recognize the Confederate States of America which culminated with the Civil War.
Okay! So at the end of the Civil War, which 2% of the population that fought in it died, the Confederate States of America were defeated by the Union, and in that defeat, they also lost the right to display their flag for all eternity; at least in America.
Some people believe the Confederate Flag represents Southern traditions while others view it as racial, a reminder of a time where cotton, slaves and states rights were the order of the day. Although both arguments are debatable, one fact is clear: the Confederate Flag is a symbol of “treason,” pure and simple. The Confederate Flag was used in the Civil War by 11 states that declared themselves separate from the Union, and thereby, establishing their own country.
By allowing states, North, South, East, and West, to continue to display the “rebel” flag in 2010, is an affront to all those that gave their lives to the “preservation of the Republic.”
