DELMAR CHRISTMAS PARADE POSTPONED
Hi Joe,
I just got word from our Parade Chairperson, Roger Martinson that the Delmar Christmas Parade scheduled for tomorrow, Dec. 5th at 2pm has been postponed to Sunday at 2, due to the weather forecast for rain.
We would really appreciate your help in getting the word out and we hope everyone will plan to join us on Sunday.
We have been told that the Delmar Football team will be able to be in the parade on Sunday and we are hoping that will be as State Champions! Either way, win or lose for them tomorrow, everyone in Delmar is so proud of them and need to come out and show their appreciation for these athletes.
Thank you

Louise Smith Purposely Takes Over Council Chambers Monday Night
PUBLIC NOTICE
CHANGE IN MEETING LOCATION
The December 7, 2009 Special Meeting of the City Council will be held
in Council Chambers (Room 301) of the Government Office Building
(125 N. Division Street). The Special Meeting will begin at 4:00 p.m.
While Mayor Ireton welcomes the entire community to join him immediately after our Rally Monday night, Louise Smith has demanded the Council Chambers even though they will be in the Conference Room for a Work Session.
That being said, Mayor Ireton has assured me that he will immediately send me a text message just as soon as Louise Smith is finished with their new "Special Meeting."
I am more than excited to see Mayor Ireton recognizing the citizens have had enough, so much so they know there will be hundreds of people attending this rally. To open the Council Chambers and invite each and every one of you there to openly discuss ideas is EXACTLY where we all have wanted to be with our government officials. That being said, my hat is tipped to Mayor Ireton.
Please Folkls, there can't be enough people attending this event Monday night. This could be your last chance to speak up about crime and fear. Ask your neighbors, friends, family, victims and associates who have ANYTHING to do with Salisbury to attend. If you want to make a difference, be there or SHUT UP.
While Louise and Gary are steamrolling this special meeting down the taxpayers throats, listen to the audio tape again. Listen to how they REALLY feel about crime. Funding SPD It may take a while to listen to it but trust me, this is some of the best information we have ever delivered to you on Salisbury News.
Found Dog
Joe can you please post this for my friend? A mixed breed yellow dog, looks like it is mixed with a yellow lab has been found in the Delmar area on Pepperbox Rd. It is wearing a black collar with no tags. Please call Hilda @ 302-846-0432 if you think this may be your dog.
Thanks Joe!
Thanks Joe!
Breaking News! STABBING IN SALSBURY
A 42 year old male has been stabbed twice in the back on Hazel Ave. in Salisbury. More to come........
MAYOR INVITES PUBLIC TO SPEAK ON CRIME
Salisbury Mayor James Ireton, Jr., will open Council Chambers at the Government Office Building (125 N. Division Street) on Monday, December 7, 2009, to give the public the opportunity to share concerns and solutions to the 12% increase in Part 1 crimes in Salisbury. The public meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. and will be open until all interested residents have had an opportunity to speak.
“I believe that unfiltered, ungaveled honesty from the public is what we need as elected officials,” said Mayor Ireton. “With the change in position of one of our council members, we may now have an opening to truly effect change in our community.
I encourage concerns, new ideas and stability as I turn the microphone over to the public. Citizens know that a healthy civic discourse is the only way government moves forward. Our City is facing many battles on many fronts – crime, the economy, the wastewater treatment plant – yet I am confident we can weather the storms, united in our efforts. This open forum, based on civility and respect, is the public’s opportunity to let me know, first hand, what they need from City government.”

Indoctrination in Wicomico County Public Schools
My children came home from school today saying that in their 4th Grade SCIENCE class they were required to watch the following video. They were given a hand out of the lyrics to take home.
They were then instructed after watching the video to; "write a paragraph on how they could help the world."
My daughter tapped the teacher and privately said; "but I don't like Obama." The teacher then announced to the entire class:
"Hey everybody, this child (her name) said she doesn't like Obama, but that doesn't mean you don't like his speeches."
My daughter said to me later; "That's stupid Mommie. Why would I like his speeches if I don't like him?"
My kid says they then had to turn in the assignment for grading I presume.
My daughters came home and said; "I don't understand why we had to watch the video. Why couldn't we just have been asked what we can do to help the world?"
Smart kid.
The principal at Fruitland Intermediate will be hearing from me Monday.

Record Days Continue To Help Salisbury News Alexa Ratings
Love us or hate us, everyone is coming to Salisbury News and there's no more denying that fact. Certainly "The Joe Albero Show" isn't hurting us and with the additional 140,000 viewers and daily evidence these new viewers are returning every day, these Alexa numbers aren't surprising.
Which reminds me, you're going to LOVE this week's Show! It airs at 10:30 AM tomorrow and for what it's worth, I'll even be watching. I don't normally watch the Show but we have some new technical people on board with us and you'll see some very high tech commercials and a very different Joe Albero.
You wanted me to be the real me. Well, this week I delivered. We aired the Show right at Sam's Club where I was ringing the bell all week, (I'll be there again all day today from 10 to 6) and we had a blast. I have some great Guests on this week, not one but two.
Thanks again for ALL of your support Folks. Together we are by far one of the best Websites in Maryland, if not the entire United States. Come see me today at Sam's Club. I want to add, thanks to all of the people who have driven up to Sam's knowing I was there and dropping off a donation. There have been many and you have no idea how good that feels after standing out there 10 hours each day. It makes it all worth while and the day passes very quickly because of it.
Finally...........It Is Said Publicly
Pat Buchanan had the guts to say it. It is about time
BUCHANAN TO OBAMA
By Patrick J. Buchanan
Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America. Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to... This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:
First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known. Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.
Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the ' 60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream. Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants. Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.
We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude???
Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks. Let him go to Altoona ? And Johnstown , and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids.? Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America ? Is it really white America 's fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?
Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?
As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?
Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?
We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena .. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.
Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago.
We are a Christian Nation even if Mr. Obama says we are not.

Your View: City of Salisbury needs a new chief of police
It is time for Salisbury's police chief to go.
He does not have Salisbury's best interest at heart. He is only looking out for himself -- and has been that way since he was hired.
The original job posting had set a salary range and required residing in Salisbury city limits.
He demanded a higher salary and refused to live inside the city limits.
Say goodbye, chief.

Fort Hood's New Islamist Instructor
Over at the Corner, Andy McCarthy points out that Louay Safi, a top official at the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), has been brought into Fort Hood to teach our troops about Islam. There’s just one problem. As McCarthy and others have reminded us, ISNA has a variety of disturbing ties to Islamic extremists and terrorists--and ISNA itself has been identified by federal prosecutors as an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Here is one more ISNA tie worth remembering, adapted from a post I wrote in June. (Keep in mind that this same organization has sent an official to teach American servicemen about Islam.)
In a must-read expose on the financial ties between Saudi Arabia, including members of the royal family, and al Qaeda, the New York Times linked to several supporting documents [in June]. One of these documents is a dossier prepared by German criminal investigators in 2003.
The Germans investigated the financial dealings of an organization called the Third World Relief Agency (TWRA), which moved hundreds of millions of dollars around in its sponsorship of terrorism.
TWRA was run by senior Bosnian government officials, and sponsored the relocation of hundreds, if not thousands, of jihadists to Bosnia to fight in the 1990s. While carrying out some legitimate humanitarian functions as a cover, TWRA was really a front for global terrorist operations.
And the ISNA was likely one of its donors.

A Letter To The Editor
Joe,
Just wanted to give you a Daily Times Heads Up. They had several different stories on delmarvanow.com and I put in the comment section in reference to the rally on Monday evening. They contacted me earlier this afternoon in reference to the story. I informed them that we were trying to get a rally together to protest crime, let them know how fed up we are with it and that we want Chief Webster removed from office. I explained to them that this was something that was started on YOUR website and that if they want to do a story on it that they could contact you directly. I certainly hope that they will follow through so that we can have as many people there as possible. I hope that I didn't step on your toes as that was not the intent. I just think the more people we have there the better. I also explained that Monday night was selected as that is when the council members met. One of the biggest things that I emphasized to them that whether you were a Joe Albero fan or not that wasn't the issue here. The issue here is that we don't want to live in fear any more and that the current administration obviously has their priorities screwed up. I also explained that this would be a peaceful rally and that enough is enough as far as Webster is concerned. As I stated before, I hope that I didn't step on your toes. If they contact you and do a story on it, I think it would be great publicity. Let me also add that while I am not a resident of City of Salisbury, I have family and friends that are and they are scared. I am planning on attending the rally because I think it's time to send a very clear message to this administration. Get off your ass and do something. It's not political, it's a matter of quality of life.
