For poverty existed in far greater measure in the Depression. Yet our parents and grandparents did not form mobs to burn, beat and loot. The West is in decline because the character of its people is in decline. In Europe, Christianity is dead. The moral code it gave men to live righteously is regarded with mockery. The London riots were the work of moral barbarians with no loyalty to the people in whose midst they live and no love for the society to which they give nothing, only take.

In America, millions of fatherless young seek out in gangs the familial ties they never knew. Those gangs are now almost always formed on the basis of ethnicity or race. What were the British thinking when they threw open their doors to mass immigration from the Third World?

Over centuries, they had failed to assimilate a few million Irish, who were European Christians. So, having failed to assimilate the Irish, they decided to invite in millions of Hindus and Muslims from South Asia, Arabs from the Middle East, Africans from the sub-Sahara, black folks from the Caribbean.

But with no common faith or culture to hold the nation together, Britain is coming apart. Multiculturalism has \”utterly failed,\” said Germany’s Angela Merkel, only to be echoed by Nicolas Sarkozy and David Cameron. Is multiculturalism a success here? Or does the sudden eruption of flash mobs suggest that the curtain has begun to be pulled back on diversity’s dark side here in America?

9/11 Memorial Taking Shape

Site work begins for memorial

To mark the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attack, Cherry Hill Township and the Cherry Hill Fire Department are erecting a special memorial. 

The memorial, to be located in front of the CHFD\’s Central Command building at 1100 Marlkress Road, was designed by CHFD Firefighter Ed Morris.

Cherry Hill Mayor Bernie Platt and Firefighter Ray Reis, the 9/11 Memorial Project Manager, review plans for the site

The monument will include a section of steel from the World Trade Center. This section of I-Beam from the WTC’s North Tower will serve as a bridge between two granite towers. This steel will forever symbolize the strength of the United States of America, and will serve as a fitting centerpiece of this memorial to honor those whose lives were lost that September day.

Lt. Jim Collins prepping for pavers to be laid.

Off-duty Cherry Hill firefighters and EMS members have been volunteering their time and muscle to construct the monument. Ken Lydic from Lydic Concrete has also donated manpower and equipment for the effort.

Three teams are still standing with one day to go in the American Legion World Series. Eden Prairie, Minn., put together back-to-back six-run innings in the sixth and seventh to rally from a 4-2 deficit against Tupelo, Miss., for a 14-4 triumph Monday night. That means the Minnesota champs will play Las Vegas — which beat Midland, Mich., 7-1 earlier in the today — in a matchup at 5 today. The winner then challenges Tupelo for the national championship at 8 p.m.

Eden Prairie (41-8), last year’s national runner-up, pounded out 15 hits against four Mississippi pitchers. That made a winner of reliever Lance Thonvold, the University of Minnesota signee who came to the mound in the sixth inning. Tupelo starter Cody Shrewsbury kept Eden Prairie in check until the sixth, but took the loss.
