Liberals-ANY liberals-could really care less about the homeless. They just wanna look like they do! I'm sure that anyone who reads this and counts themselves a liberal, you would agree w me, correct?

Some people actually do care about the homeless. But most of us, liberal or conservative, want to care about the homeless because that would mean we're good people, but ultimately it's a difficult cause to devote much to.

I think tom p has it. There are, reportedly, an awful lot of racist threats being bandied about these days.

I'll wait to see the 2013 inauguration security setup before I conclude I'm in a fascist state.

This is especially true of Obama. He will pretend to care, but it is w the purpose of increasing the public sector. So instead of giving them shelter, he just has his people sweep them off of the street.

Pathetic hypocrites. And Obama hasn't even taken office yet!

I'm so sick of the homeless. I know I'm not supposed to say it but all they do is walk around drunk asking for money. Oh, and steel. In DC of all places there are more than enough options for housing, programs, and rehab.

Um, don't we complain about human rights violations when communist countries do this?

It's negative 24 degrees in Chicago. Obama will probably wonder why everyone in D.C. is wearing coats.

There’s one guy who screams “Change” every time I walk outside my building.

Perhaps some enterprising person will hire somebody to stand on the opposite street corner and yell “Hope!”

Might the security procedures be different because they are expecting much, much larger crowds of participants this time?
