Ain\u2019t Got No Home, Clarence ‘Frogman\u2019 Henry, that\u2019s from 1956, and from Channel 4 Denver: ‘The City of Denver has been working to make sure everything is in tip-top shape for all the visitors coming to town for the Democratic National Convention, and now a local salon is helping in that effort. It seems to be a first.\u2019 They have given up on the idea of moving the homeless. Remember they were going to give movie tickets, they were going to give \u2019em bus tickets, they were going to get \u2019em out of town. I don\u2019t know why it matters, by the way, because the cameras never show us what\u2019s going on outside these venues anyway. They swept the homeless off the streets in New York back in 1992. It wasn\u2019t necessary. The cameras are not outside, the C-SPAN cameras are, but anyway, they\u2019re gonna clean \u2019em up now rather than move \u2019em. ‘That was the work of one salon and the recipients didn\u2019t even seem to care if the Democrats were coming to town. Sly\u2019s Salon at 17th and Grant was offering free haircuts to the homeless,\u2019 earlier this week. ”To give them haircuts and make them all spiffed up for the Democratic National Convention, because they are part of our community as well,\u2019 said Ghandia Gohnson, co-owner of Sly\u2019s Salon.\u2019 (interruption) What\u2019s insulting about it? They just want to clean \u2019em up out there, Snerdley. When the Democrats are someplace, their definition of diversity does not include filth and unkemptness. <\/p>\n

Now, when the Democrats aren\u2019t anywhere around like when these same people show up in libraries and stink to high hell, you\u2019re supposed to sit there and smell \u2019em because you made \u2019em that way. But when the Democrats are coming — (interruption) when they do what? Well, you can\u2019t wall \u2019em off because if you wall \u2019em off you wall off the Democrats in the convention. The homeless, walls are their protection sometimes. Build a wall out there and the homeless are gonna try to climb over it \u2019cause everybody wants to know what\u2019s on the other side of the wall. No, this is revolutionary, clean \u2019em up and give \u2019em haircuts at the Democrat National Convention. Let \u2019em stay dirty until the Democrats come to town, that\u2019s next week. They\u2019ll go back to being dirty when the Democrats leave.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: One thing about these homeless people out in Denver who got their hair cut. I mean some of these people hadn\u2019t had a haircut in three or four months, but did you see the reporter? Did you hear what some of the people actually said about the experience of these homeless people? They said they felt better about themselves than they had in a long time because they looked good. They gave them a little food, spiffed them up in a bunch of ways at Sly\u2019s Salon, and they talked about how looking good was \u2019empowering.\u2019 One said that she felt so good she was going to go look for a job. Now, how cheap was it to create that job? Did it take massive government spending? Did it take loads and loads of shopping carts? All it took was private sector initiative to give these people a haircut and clean \u2019em up a little bit and somebody said, ‘Damn! I look so good I\u2019m going to go get a job,\u2019 which is the objective in removing people either from homelessness or poverty. <\/p>\n

If you just give these people baths and haircuts, just once a week; you don\u2019t even have to do it every day. Just give them baths and haircuts once a week, and they\u2019ll feel so good about themselves, they will go out there, and they\u2019ll want to find work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
