You Can’t Be Serious!
By Nancy Muldoon<\/p>\n

I heard on the news this morning that ‘politician’ Marion Barry was arrested for stalking a woman. Are we surprised by this behavior? We shouldn’t be. <\/p>\n

Lets do a little time travel through history. In 1990 Marion Barry, then Mayor of Washington D.C was caught on tape smoking crack cocaine in a Washington hotel room. <\/p>\n

His famous quote, “The bitch set me up” became tabloid fodder and the quote was immortalized on t-shirts worn by many in the black community.<\/p>\n

He again ran for Mayor and in 1994 was unbelievably re-elected. You can’t make this stuff up. Marion Barry clearly has difficulty getting out of his own way.<\/p>\n

This is the same guy who also in 1994, told Sally Quinn of the Washington Post that mandatory Norplant for single mothers would be okay with him. Below is a direct quote from Barry:<\/p>\n

“You start out with the philosophy that you can have as many babies as you want…..if you don’t ask the government to take care of them. But when you start asking the government to take care of them, the government ought to have some control over you. I would say, for people like that, if they want the government to take care of their children I would be for something like Norplant, mandatory Norplant.” <\/p>\n

Marion Barry is a very pointed example of abuse of power and public office. His behavior is nothing less than outrageous. This guy is a predator, has been a predator and quite honestly has been stalking the American taxpayers for far too long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
