A prominent sign at the Detroit water protest...
"Where do you expect us to sh**?"
where shit

Detroit liberals marched to demand free water on Friday.
The leftists don’t believe they should have to pay for it.
It’s not their responsibility.

Hollywood liberal Mark Ruffalo joined the protesters to demand free water as did many attendees from Netroots Nation.

The scarey part is that Socialism is spreading like a virus.

You can't contain it. You have to actively fight it and the only reason any of this is going on is because the Michigan GOP is fighting it. I just wish other states would quit kicking the can down the road about their cities.

Few of the netroots clowns are even from Detroit and know nothing about the issue. The only reason they're going through this round of shutoffs is because they're trying to eliminate some of the debt to attract more private investors which is a good thing. In most cases, private can legally compete with municipal services.

Detroit is just the beginning.

The libs had 50 years to trash Detroit and they did a splendid job. I’m surprised it took this long.

Now it appears they have run out of OPM (other people’s money) and the big hurt is slapping them down.

It’s always been just a matter of time. The time is now and the vultures have come home to roost.

I don’t think it’s too early to write/call your congresscritters demanding they vote no on any FedGov bail-out of the Motor City.

In other words, the protesters demand the slavery without pay of all Waterworks and sewerage employees and legalized theft of all materials needed to distribute the water/collect the sewerage to serve their desires and bodily functions.

I wanna guess -- decades of Democrat government in Detroit & Michigan, and big unions?

That certainly fits for Detroit, but not all of Michigan. Michigan is not Detroit. Republicans control both state houses right now, and we have a Republican Governor. If we could lop off Detroit and Flint, Michigan would go red in every election.

The Paris Of The Midwest has turned into the Monrovia Of The Midwest within 50 short years.

Just imagine what America will look like in 50 more years if we continue on the same Liberal path!

Maybe these lazy LIV progressives should go and read this article: Jersey City to launch citywide initiative to collect rainwater.

Nah, way too proactive.

I would be okay paying for the water if we could put something in the water that kept liberals (any race) from breeding.

How about DDT? It works on most pests.

Aewn’t they free to collect free rainwater as well as that they can carry from streams and rivers? Third world people do it all the time.

I would be happy if they just quit breeding more welfare pigs.

Put a Norplant in their arm until they show they can pay for their own babies.

All over the city, just like you have been for the past 50 or 60 years.

Like I said, why do these nutroots idiots think water is free? Is it free where they came from? Maybe they should ask their parents.

Every city in America has a water utilities charge

Ironically, they want free stuff FROM THE GOVERNMENT. The government pays them money to pay their water bill and they don’t pay it.

Too ironic.

But if paid for by higher taxes, surely they would not be impacted. The burden would fall on the “rich” and the working man, not them. This is just another cry for more free stuff. They can’t pay for water but I’ll bet they have plenty of money for other purchases. Our government has failed this nation by promoting dependency on others. Those who want and promote socialism either sit at the top or expect to be sitting there. Increase the masses of the poor and ignorant, fill them with hate and envy, paint them as victims, throw them a bone and you will have their vote. Look at our major cities who expanded social programs and welfare. What did they get in return? A large population of unemployable, frequently criminal, and dependent citizens. And what did our cities get in return? A massive exodus of the working class resulting in lower tax revenues. And who benefitted from these policies? Corrupt politicians and their friends. And now that the city is ruined, where do they go? To the next highest level of government, the state level. From there to the national level, and eventually a ruined nation. If we are to survive as a nation, this cancer must be stopped. America must once again be a “ can do” nation rather then a “ can’t do” one.

Bingo. BTW, your post is the only time ever I have heard that phrase since my dad died decades ago. And he was the only person I ever heard say it.

Thank you for the memory.
