"THIRD WORLD NELLIE FROM PITTSTON"
Is this what she was talking about??????
The other day Mrs. LuLac and I had to attend an event for our church. So I got home a little early to change and get going. As I was suiting up, I had Steve Corbett on. This was Monday afternoon at about 5:56PM. Corbett got a call from a rather condescending woman from Pittston who used very familiar terms with him. She called him “sweetie” and “dear” which I thought was kind of odd. But then things got worse. She told the WILK Talk Show host that the United States was becoming a third world country. She of course blamed the President and the Democrats. Corbett asked her if she was ever in a third world country and by that time she was just talking gibberish.
Whoever that woman was, and I’ll call her Nellie from Pittston, let me just review a couple of things here.
If America was third world country, she would not be able to get clean drinking water out of her tap.
If America were a Third World country, her roads would be impassable and if there was any concrete it would be used for the power elite and not mass transportation.
If America were a Third World country, there would not be any free media to speak of. Corbett would be in a gulag and she’d be taken away for voicing her opinions.
If this were a Third World country, there would be no housing for the poor. They’d live in shacks and on the street.
If this were a Third World Country, fear would reign and medical workers focusing on helping children getting vaccines would be killed.
If this were a Third World Country, there would be no electrical grid to speak of and no creature comforts.
If this were a Third World Country, this loudmouth would be taking a dump in the street instead of using facilities.
The beauty of America and Talk Radio for that matter is that we encourage the ignorance of the dullards among us to be exhibited fully in all their masterful glory. In America, we laugh at the ignorant slobs who latch onto a catch phrase and run with it. In a Third World Country they wouldn’t have that opportunity.
Every time I hear someone like this, I alternately get amused and scared. This woman actually can vote and I shudder to think, might actually be able to or has bred.
THE POSTER BOY????
Bill Stinson. He was a Philadelphia lawmaker charged with vote fraud in 1995. As my friend L.A. Tarone told us Wednesday night Stinson used dubious means to gain election to the State Senate in a Special Election. He was caught and left office being urged to by then Mayor Ed Rendell and other Democratic power brokers.
Since then Stinson has been used as an example of voter fraud in Pennsylvania. My question is this. Has there be any egregious efforts to defraud voters in Pennsylvania since that time? I’m not asking could there be a problem, or what if this could happen, will happen, might happen, etc. I’m asking if there was any major case involving vote fraud in Pennsylvania since Bill Stinson? The answer is NO. And to dig this guy up every time the GOP wants to disenfranchise voters by complaining about early voting, or making the process more inclusive shows that the process is working just fine.
No one is gaming the system except guys like Mike Turzai the current GOP Majority Leader who said this at a 2012 GOP Party meeting when going through a laundry list of the State House accomplishments. "Voter ID, which is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done.”And just who carried Pennsylvania?
By the way, this from the New York Times twenty years ago:
Acquittal in Vote-Fraud Case
Published: June 23, 1994
Former State Senator William G. Stinson 3d, who was stripped of his seat because of election fraud, was acquitted today of charges that he illegally opened voting machines and absentee ballots on Election Day.
Mr. Stinson, a Democrat who was once an assistant Deputy Mayor of Philadelphia, said: "I just feel good that justice has been done. Now I can get back to my family and a normal life."
The guy who has been vilified as stealing an election was……wait for it…….ACQUITTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So let’s not have people gin up the fans of fear with an isolated incident from twenty years ago. Some say there is voter fraud all the time. I heard that on the radio and TV too in every election where a Democrat is leading. Two words: PROVE IT!

The classical music guy is going to moderate the debates? Yeah that's brilliant.
I did not hear "Ms. Nellie" but you were equally condescending Yonk.
So maybe she was never in a Third World country. Perhaps she is drawing that conclusion when she compares her life and surroundings over that last decade or so.
Maybe she's not sophisticated and this is her way of expressing her frustration with her disappearing cultural markers, like churches and schools and such.
Better pay attention - these kind of folks will turn on the Dems in response.
I heard that looney tune. Corbett was respectful but she was horrid. Ignorant and proud. If I were the screener, I'd ban her nonsense.
Any time you try to stop the vote, you stop democracy in America. Shame on the GOP and their very deluded followers.
Commenting on phone callers? Out of ideas today? Perhaps if you listened a little more closely, you would have heard the woman was speaking out of fear, and yes, some ignorance. The Ebola thing and the pathetic government response has frightened a lot of people. I won't even to begin to talk about crime and increasing poverty.
I lived on the West Side of Cleveland and loved spending time in the Diamond Necklace/Metro Parks
system, but never heard of Lake Isaac. Where do you come up with some of this stuff? I'll check it out next time I visit. Back in my day Cleveland was like a third world country. The Browns were mediocre, the Cavs were terrible and the Tribe was the Tribe of old!

IN RESPONSE
Commenting on phone callers? Out of ideas today? IT IS PART OF THE POLITICAL DYNAMIC IN OUR AREA SO IT IS FAIR GAME. OUT OF IDEAS? HARDLY.
The Ebola thing and the pathetic government response has frightened a lot of people. I won't even to begin to talk about crime and increasing poverty.
I AGREE. BUT TO COMPARE THIS COUNTRY TO A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY WAS BEYOND REASONABLE. ACTUALLY TO ME, IT BORDERS ON UNPATRIOTIC. PEOPLE, AND SOME NATIONAL COMMENTATORS DO THIS TOO CAN'T BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY IF YOU USE THOSE WORDS. I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK THAT IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER OCCUPANT IN THE WHITE HOUSE RIGHT NOW THOSE WORDS WOULD NEVER BE USED.
Nellie is no different than the people who cry poverty and want more of my money in the form of government entitlements.
Don't THEY know that they are better off than the poor in any other country in this world?
It bothers the cr@p out of me that I'm scrambling to make ends meet, making some damn tough decisions for the family and then hear the whining.
BTW: My health care premium and deductible are going UP. The last 6 years I've been running in place faster and faster. I hope the R's sweep the D's (with my help!)
Steve Corbett has his looney tunes and it is obvious from these comments that the Younstur has his fair share of looney tunes.
We go into the weekend with another school shooting in the US! To cling to the idea that guns are not a problem is madness. It is a problem which will never be corrected as evidenced by the reaction to the slightest efforts made to make a start in any way. Newtown horrific as it was has been too easily and soon forgotten. It will happen again. Get right with God and get several guns and the beat and the senseless killing goes on in America...
Yonki ... Yonki ... YONKI !

Once again what the media called "a heartbroken community" attempts to deal with a school shooting and the deaths of young men and women who were sitting in a school cafeteria eating lunch. Where is the outrage?
And as you stated, any effort in the direction of "gun sanity" is met with the old their comin after all our guns mentality fueled by the NRA.
Another American situation with no hope of solution.
Wanna bet the high school shooter was taking pharmaceuticals for ADHD or depression?
You anti-gun guys: next time a fire starts at your house, don't grab the fire extinguisher - call the fire department.
Also would you ban fire extinguishers because some kid sets one off in the school?
Lets see how the kids blood test and other forensics turn out before we make a move - unless you just want to take my pistol away.The resIFP
