From her front porch, Alice Dembowski has watched her city change, one tidy house at a time.Couple that with widespread urban blight, a high crime rate, and an overall reputation as America's most dangerous city, and the net result is a place where few people who value law, order, and traditional American values want to live.
“Chinese, Polish, Bosnian, Polish, Bengali,” she recites, her finger moving down the block. “They were all Polish at one time.
“I’ve made friends. I go to their weddings. (But) we’re losing our tradition and I’m getting mad,” Dembowski said. “If they’re going to live in America, why can’t they be more American?”
Next month, Hamtramck will become one of the few cities in the United States where the Islamic call to prayer is broadcast onto public streets.
With this in mind, we offer the following story.
The Afghan Quarterback
The coach had put together the perfect team for the Detroit Lions. The only thing that was missing was a good quarterback. He had scouted all the colleges and even the Canadian and European Leagues, but he couldn't find a ringer who could ensure a Super Bowl win.
Then one night while watching CNN he saw a war-zone scene in Afghanistan .. In one corner of the background, he spotted a young Afghan Muslim soldier with a truly incredible arm. He threw a hand-grenade straight into a 15th story window 100 yards away.
KABOOM!
He threw another hand-grenade 75 yards away, right into a chimney.
KA-BLOOEY!
Then he threw another at a passing car going 90 mph.
BULLS-EYE!
"I've got to get this guy!" coach said to himself. "He has the perfect arm!"
So, he brings him to the States and teaches him the great game of football. And the Lions go on to win the Super Bowl.
The young Afghan is hailed as the great hero of football, and when the coach asks him what he wants, all the young man wants is to call his mother.
"Mom," he says into the phone, "I just won the Super Bowl!"
"I don't want to talk to you," the old Muslim woman says. "You are not my son!"
"I don't think you understand, Mother," the young man pleads. "I've won the greatest sporting event in the world. I'm here among thousands of my adoring fans."
"No! Let me tell you!" his mother retorts. "At this very moment, there are gunshots all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. Your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week, and I have to keep your sister in the house so she doesn't get raped!" The old lady pauses, and then tearfully says:
"I will never forgive you for making us move to Detroit !"

A LOT closer to the truth than folks want to admit...
Agreed Old NFO.
The Political Correctness and bleeding heart Liberals are jamming this "multi-cultural tripe down the throats of Americans.
I remember as a youngster joining the Boy scouts of America. I had to swear an oath to obey the rules of the Scouts and dress in my uniform when the meeting were held.Inspections were held and tests were given.
Betcha today, after 55-years the rules are gone and every thing and anything goes.
Never thought I'd say I was glad to be almost 70.
I don't have to put up with america's decline into a putrid quagmire for too long.
Back in the day I was a Boy Scout also. Today they're under attack from liberals because they still hang on to old-fashioned values like integrity, religion, and love of country ("...do my duty to God and my country...").
They're also denied funding and use of facilities by a lot organizations because they refuse to allow atheists and gays to join or serve as Scoutmasters.
Just another sign that our culture is in decline.
