When Liberals Run Cities

Look at most any urban city school system in this country. Their expenditures/student are generally much higher that surrounding areas not under the governmental thumb of that city. Adding further insult to injury, these school systems largely do far worse on most measures of achievement and learning by their students.

When the odd case arises where these comprehensive pupil achievement/learning turn out well, there is the likely potential of teacher/administrator shenanigans with the proctoring of testing or grading. (see Atlanta/Fulton County Teachers sentenced for test fraud).

Unfortunately, it's not only the school systems. This same sort of incompetence and activity is pervasive through the whole city government.

Strike “to own” from that graphic and it would read better.

Those photos actually illustrate the mindset of psychotic, adolescent Progressives. They’re absolutely bonkers, filled with hate, and operating under delusions that are glaring yet embraced.

My future sister in law (besides being hot) is an idiotic union voter. She lives in a great Italian American neighborhood, her and her electrician husband make a bundle together, and yet she votes dem to protect those raises!!!

It wouldn't mater if they spent 399999 dollars in each kid, when mom is too busy chasing that career, at best, or smoking crack and whoring at worst, when dad left house with the young blond or never lived in the house to begin with, all the money in the world wont work.

But liberals can never accept that because it is more prevalent in certain groups and you CAN'T say that today. Mom tells me school was some books and a pencil in a cold room back in the day. She's 82. She became a nurse. Now they get three squares and pretty soon liberals will be looking for workers to wipe their a..es.

The riots in Baltimore are about the dereliction of the entire government structure of the city.
The city’s politicians and bureaucrats have brought the wrath of “their people” down around their own precious necks. They are simply too benighted to see it, yet.
Another important effect of the Baltimore riots is to end any possibly sympathy or compassion from the rest of the US citizenry. Frankly, they can burn themselves down. Maybe that will create opportunity for real change.

Yeah, that’s awkward.

Poverty is a major industry in this country; the urban livestock provide a lucrative income to many - who will perpetuate the misery forever to keep the gravy train rolling. There would be no Democratic Party without millions of unassimilated urban folk with outstretched palms.

There is no civility in them, no decency, only destruction.

In no way will any of them pictured there ever be able to become taxpaying citizens and contribute to making this country greater.

Instead, they wil be a drain on the criminal justice system and produce numerous like minded soawn, further deteriorating this country and our way of life.

Great image, great idea though. Execution just needs a slight tweak.

When total control freaks run anything you just know you are headed for disaster. The ideologies of progressives /socialists / democrats and Marxists all have one thing in common. They are all control freaks that think they know what is best for every one else. They have basically two ilks. One that truly believes that they are doing the right thing and the other are total sociopaths. It's hard to say which is more destructive to society.

The most frightening thing about this mentality is that when their goofball ideas inevitably fail, these idiots think that they have simply too little control over their fellow man and need more control.

Thus is the nature of Tyranny.

I despise control freaks. In most cases where any of them gets the tiniest bit of control, things go to hell in my experience.

The government has to keep busy moving money around from the producers to the leeches so they can have it pass through their hands to get their cut. They can come up with more ways to extort money from the makers, to give to the takers, because that’s how these thieves in government-I mean “public servants”-become millionaires

[mrsmel]

It will more likely create the opportunity for the thieves in government to extort the taxpayers to rebuild what the criminals destroyed (not completely though, they have to get their cut after all). It will also create opportunities for crony capitalists to get tax breaks, write-offs, and deductions for going and rebuilding, so they can crow about their "good intentions" and assuage their white guilt. But you'll never see them moving to live there (though they will gladly and quickly call for section 8 vouchers to move the criminals into our communities).

[Gritty]

The criminals rioting in the streets as thugs and running the cities as politicians and union bosses.

There is no hope here until honest government shows up and parasites give up their criminal ways. It is obvious throwing all the money in the world isn't going to solve these problems.

Thanks, LBJ! Thanks, Great Society! Thanks, Liberals! Thanks, union thugs! Thanks, ignorance! Thanks, sin!
