"Want to know what America would look like under President Romney? You can go to Detroit now and see what it would look like."

Crystalline idiocy. Detroit has had Democratic mayors since 1962.

Comparing Detroit to Hiroshima, then and now.

That would make an excellent one-liner talking point when confronting our domestic enemies. "Liberal economic policies have destroyed more cities than nuclear weapons."

Detriot is a picture postcard of what happens when RATS are allowed free reign.

Coming next: California.

Dave Bing represents the only semblance of sanity in this God forsaken city. Charles Pugh, former newscaster, is a complete buffoon as are the rest of the Council Members. The best thing that could happen here is that they go broke and renegotiate all the city contracts and get people who actually want to work.

then those who will suffer most are Detroit’s government employees.

You’ve got to be kidding me? They actually had the audacity to write that?

Detroit has ONLY had extreme liberal governance and policies to make it what it is today?

How could they seriously write that?

I mean, WTF?!?!?!

True insanity. Does anyone read that rag of a magazine? Why doesn’t someone make a youtube video calling out that absurdity.

Man we are living in 1984.

Isn't California doomed to get nuked and have headquarters for an evil Master Computer named Skynet in the Near Future?

“Yes, it’s always been a mystery to me that the media remains liberal despite their certain knowledge that liberalism breeds problems with attaining and maintaining economic prosperity.”

Power, not prosperity. Communism was never about prosperity.

Of course. Detroit is part of the plan for all of us. The left wants power, and they are perfectly fine with casting all of humanity in a pit of misery so they become the only option for any hope at all. For them to have power you have to lose all control over your life. No self-reliance or work ethic or morality to guide you. Only trust in them as they hold absolute power.

Their plan is working exactly as they intend. Romney and Bush got to share the blame for the last four years which were engineered by democrats.

They say, "The worse it is, the better it is," and "Never let a crisis go to waste." Their allies in the media warp reality and hide the truth while they play on the darkest human emotions such as envy, racism, hatred, and self-pity to turn the country against itself. They are planting a very dark, evil seed and the crop it produces will be very ugly for us all.

You’re absolutely right. How stupid of me. How could I forget that?

” Now they have a former NBA basketball player as mayor. “

Well, I think he also did...”fairly well” as a businessman, owner of steel companies. He certainly could have retired very well off years ago but he took this extremely tough job as a civic responsibility. I don’t think he can be classified as a loafer...

That was not my inference. But he, like his predecessors, has not been successful You can go 90 MPH in entirely the wrong direction. Liberalism does that to people.

Let's give that a little due emphasis.

"Liberal economic policies have destroyed more cities than nuclear weapons."

Detriot got what it deserved when they elected a hardcore Communist Party member as mayor, Coleman Young; kept electing a hardcore Communist as their Representative, John Conyers Jr., and kept electing Communist Party supporters (then DSA leaders) as the head of the City Council (Maryann Mahaffey and Erma Henderson), plus Jackie Vaugh, I believe a Cockrell was on it, Carl Levin, and other leftists.

As you sow, so shall ye reap.

Let us not forget Kwame Kilpatrick. Purveyor of all things shady, criminal, and downright ghetto.
