Yes, Nancy Pelosi’s dad helped dedicate a statue to Robert E. Lee and ‘Stonewall’ Jackson

Although Mrs.Pelosi has always demonstrated her simpleminded approach to politics from an extreme leftist agenda her actions and comments in recent years shows serious diminished mental capicity . This is probably dimensia of some form and degree that can no longer be hidden from view . If she is sick let’s help her with the affordable health care act but first let’s remove her ability to injure herself and others by removing her from office .
As for the statues : Baltimore was a southern city with Confederate leanings so the Union Army held Fort McHenry and trained the cannons from Federal Hill down on the city . This gave the towns people an ultimatum , Stay with the Union or go Confederate and be blasted to dust . They had mere hours or minutes to decide !
Nothing like the federal government with a gun held to your head to help you make the correct decision . Remember that on April 15th every year and the taxes you decided to pay is voluntary . LOL
As for Baltimore it’s like any other city now , pockets of prosperity surrounded by poverty and pathetic job oppurtunities for most . But some how statues of old confederate hero’s taken down is a fix . The real tax base of high paying blue collar industrial jobs are gone and the City government blathers about low paying jobs like they have some successful secret plan that $15 bucks an hour will make you a tax paying city homeowner . In the fabled words of LOUISE JEFFERSON “Negro Please”

Just to add a detail or two: Pelosi was born into a Baltimore political dynasty. Pelosi’s father, Baltimore Mayor Tommy D’Alesandro, Jr., dedicated the statue in question, and Pelosi’s brother, Baltimore Mayor, Tommy D’Alesandro III (1967-1971), failed to take any action towards removing it even at the height of the Civil Rights movement in the late 1960’s. The 1968 Civil Rights Riots in Baltimore occurred on her brother’s watch as Mayor, btw, although I don’t know if Pelosi herself had moved to San Francisco with her husband by that time. One thing about her is that she came by her flaming hypocrisy honestly! As Mayors, both father and brother were neck-deep in the prevalent corruption of their days, some of which involved misuse and mismanagement of the Baltimore City Police.

TampaRed, Mark Steyn is a natural born Canadian citizen who also spent part of his life in the UK, but he has lived in New Hampshire, USA with his wife and family for quite some time. I believe his wife is American. He is of both Jewish and Catholic ancestry, but I don’t know what religion he himself practices, if any. His books and website are worthy reads.
