The problem I have is with folks who call themselves Conservatives laughing and making fun of the place instead of suggesting ways that reflect Conservative principles to pick up the pieces...
And rubbing the faces of the Detroit municipality and majority voters in their own stupidity, malevolence and hubris is simply humble service of the truth. They really won't understand how depraved and malevolent their actions were in any other way.
You are making pious excuses as to why we shouldn't hold a mirror up to evil.
Sorry, not going to happen. You can hold a pity-party for Marxism on your own time.
The problem is we've been telling Detroit for 50 years ways to avoid this disaster. Many have given solution after solution. All have been ignored. You are acting like this is some sudden disaster that snuck up on the city unawares, and not the predictable consequence of decades of stupidity.
If I tell a grown man not to put a fork into a light socket and he does so, I might pity him. If he continues to do so over and over again, he's a moron and doesn't deserve my pity...
