If
you needed another reason to avoid Detroit entirely, we have one for
you: there are people impersonating police officers, pulling over
civilians, pistol-whipping and robbing them.
Show
me a city governed by Democrats for two decades or more,
and I'll show you a city in decay. Like Detroit. Super Hero
thoR~ sent me the link to
that story, which in turn reminded me of this AmericanThinker article I
earmarked a few days ago; Schadenfreude,
Michigan, and Mitt's Big Fumble. Mitt's entire campaign was a cluster-fluck.
Most of that was due to media reporting his daily message through
the prism of charges, rumor and falsehood fed by the Obama
campaign. Still, this tale is representative of how GOP
candidates handle those—by now expected— pressures; by
junking their common sense to curry favor. Will it ever
change? No. Not as long as the legacy GOP control
things. If they are not in bed with the NY Times and the DNC.
they act like they are.

After all, we both know that people in the Motor City, and the state of
Michigan in fact, have brought this doom on themselves with their very
liberal ballot habits of the past 60 years. Conservatives have warned
them about it for at least several decades, to no avail. Hell, even a
casual viewing of Gran Torino or the show Hardcore Pawn tells the
story's inevitable end. This is a colossal "we told you so" moment --
and something Biblical about reaping and sowing comes to mind.
(Memo
to Obama lo-fo's who just got offended: I know Detroit's problems
started well before Obama was out of his choom days, but everything he
has always stood for, and is still out pitching today on the campaign
trail, has been the law in the city for decades. Thus, applied
Obamanomics indeed.)
On the other hand, with the failure of the
liberal mecca of Detroit imminent, and the reasons for it obvious to
anyone not named Melissa Harris Perry -- or is it Melissa Perry Harris
-- this financial holocaust was an amazing slam-dunk election issue for
Mitt Romney and the Republicans in 2012. So what did Mitt and company
do to take advantage of this real life and undeniable object lesson in
applied Obamanomics and other leftist governing fantasies? Nothing
Actually, what the Republican campaign did
was worse than nothing. Mitt and his campaign agreed with Obama
publicly on his handling of the automaker bailouts. Romney knows
better, with his deep background in business in general, and Detroit
auto making specifically. Moreover, Paul Ryan, who also knows better,
agreed with Joe Biden on national TV in the VP debate that poor ole Joe
and Obama had "inherited" a mess from Bush and the Republicans. Ryan
even let Joe "Bite Me" get away with taking credit for saving Detroit!
Check the videotape in case you've forgotten.
Yes, in typical establishment fashion, the official GOP campaign shied
away from the big and confrontational philosophical arguments about
liberal versus conservative economic realities -- and instead ran to
smooch up to the voters of Michigan in a careful and focus-group-tested
way so as not to offend.
I do better with
no words; only pictures. But, you know.

I live across the Columbia from Portland, Oregon, a city, and state for that matter, that is run be Dimocrats. And has been for more than 30 years. Portland's last mayor was openly gay and chased after a 17-year-old boy. The Oregon House of Representatives' Speaker is an openly gay woman. Oregon's Dimocrat governor is on his third (and hopefully last) term and has done some stupid things. Tha last blunder was hiring a guy named Rudy Crew to be the Oregon Superintendent of Schools for $280,000.00 per year. That is more that twice what the governor makes. Crew stayed for just over a year, traveled to various parts of the country giving speeches an things not remotely relatd to Oregon schools and collected hefty fees, all the while charging his expenses back to Oregon. About two weeks ago, without any prior notice, he packed up and went back to New York to be president of Medgar Evers University. And collected another year's pay with his leaving. One other thing: He is black.
ReplyDeleteOne more thing: The Multnomah County Council Chair was caught up with this last week having an affair with a woman in the County Courthouse. He recently hired her over four other qualified people for about $100,000.00 a year. Then, after they were caught up with, he had the County Attorney fire her. The other members of the County Council ca;;ed for his resignationj. He refused. BTW, All 5 members of the County Council are Dimocrats.
So, we cannot trust any Dimocrat to run any government, city, county, state or Federal. And we damn sure cannot trust any black Dimocrat politicians and/or their black sycophants. The Komrade Mother-f***ing Liar-in-Chief an his Shyster General are prime examples of that statement.

Pretty bizarre, there, Scottie. Let's get a few things in perspective:
ReplyDeletePorkland's last mayor has never worked a day in his life. He's done nothing but politics. He got into trouble for grooming a 17-year-old kid, then having sex with him shortly after he turned 18 - and persuading the kid to lie about it. Yet recall efforts failed.
Governor Retread hired Rudy Crew, yes, and Crew ripped off Oregon, yes. However, PPS has hired several 'superintendents' - several of whom quickly vacated the place and cost taxpayers spectacularly large sums of money.
Jeff Cogen, Chair of Multnomah County Commission, had to admit to an "affair" with a married woman who worked in the County Health Department. Cogen, himself married for 20 years but working through his second such event in 16 years, had to admit to it because emails circulating among County staff made it abundantly clear that the infidelity had not only occurred, but that a new job with a 20% pay increase had been created for his girlfriend.
There are a couple of things worth noting, here, Scottie: 1) you don't know as much about these events as you think you do, and 2) the skin color of the participants doesn't have anything to do with these events. All, save Crew, are white in skin tone (though Cogen's also Jewish, so you might want to latch onto that).
My favorite stat. Several years ago (2008 I think) it was reported that as people moved out of Detroit they were moving dead relatives too. Detroit was loosing 700 dead people a year! That has to make the democrat voting rolls shrink.

"And we damn sure cannot trust any black Dimocrat politicians and/or their black sycophants."
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that statement can be backed up by facts and figures but of course it would be racist to do so seeing how the GOP is mostly White and only a fool trusts them...in my opinion.
It's all okay, most laws, rules and/or moral proscriptions don't apply to the ruling class. Or Hollywood for that matter.

OK, Max. Maybe I don't know as much as I think I do. But, I get my talking points from the Oregonian. And we both know that they are always right, don't we. Lars refers to the Oregonian as the Daily Dead Fish Wrapper. And he is right about that. And maybe I did not get as detailed in my little dissertation as you probably would have liked. But, as your probable heroine, Hillary, would have said, "What difference does it make?". I pretty much got the basics right, again, according to the DDFW. Sam Adams is out of City politics, a least for the foreseeable future. Jeff Cogan is hanging in there, at least for now, in spite of his fellow Commissioners calling for him to resign. Rudy Crew is gone, with his pockets full of cash, back to New York City to rip them off as he did here to the people of Oregon.
ReplyDeleteI will give you this: It does not matter that Rudy Crew is black. He still ripped off the People of Oregon. And I still do not trust black politicians in general. Can you, Mas, honestly say that you trust Obama, Shyster General Holder,Al Sharpton, Shiela Jackson Lee, Cynthia McKinney, or Charie Rangle? I damn sure don't. Anmd if you do, then there is no hope. . . .
But then, I don't trust Patty Murray, Maria Cantwell, Jay Inslee, John Kitzhaber, John McCain, Don Benton, Harry Reid, Vancouver mayor Tim Leavitt,or Nancy Pelosi either.

Now you're getting somewhere, Scottie - I don't trust any of the folks named in your second paragraph. Unfortunately, Scam Adams is far from out of City politics - he got hired as executive director of Porkland City Club, which is about as political as you can get around here without actually holding office.
ReplyDeleteHe's a stain that can't be eradicated easily.
Doc Rex prescribes a 168 grain lead pill for Mr. Adams' constipated condition. That always seems to clear out the undesirable problem with rapidity.
ReplyDeleteI mean that in the kindest way….
