Bob Smith declares Allentonians, especially Republican Allentonians, are still worked up over former Mayor Roy Afflerbach and his goofy contracts.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.

It's Koncrete Kid, not Cement
ReplyDeleteDon't forget your original stomping ground on Easton Avenue when you were a Hellertownian.

ReplyDelete"I would have liked to known you, but I was just a kid. The candle burned out long before......the legend ever did."
ReplyDeleteThis guy belongs on NOrco COuncil. He's wasted in Allen's Town. HE's a character AND he allows himself to be filmed so he's the first Non-Amish politician we have in both counties!
ReplyDeleteHe certainly seems whacky enough to joint the Northampton New Democrats. Of course Roy Shuman has to approve the membership.
ReplyDeleteBob has passion, courage and smarts. What's more, he knew enough to be quiet when others speak. He's a very helpful addition to any party he chooses. Had he been an Allentown Dem instead of R, he would probably be president of city council.
ReplyDeleteAllentown doesn't need any dissenting voices. Everything is just great as it is.

ReplyDeleteI have deleted a long OT comment directed at Obama. I have no problem w/ anyone who wants to criticize or praise Obama, but it's way OT here.
