The evidence suggests very strongly that the left-wing, Democratic claques that run a great many American cities — particularly the poor and black cities — are not capable of running a school system or a police department. They are incompetent, they are corrupt, and they are breathtakingly arrogant.


In my city the same is happening. And whats unfortunate is the local GOP has surrendered, not bothering to launch a campaign with a Conservative message. Heck I suspect some Republicans here have voted for that Stalinist Steve Cohen(D).

For 48 years, or since 1967m Baltimore, Maryland has been governed exclusively by Democratic mayors and city councils.

For 28 years, or since 1987, Democrats have controlled both of Maryland's seats in the U.S. Senate.

Democrats currently compose NINE of Maryland's ten-member Congressional delegation.

In his televised comments Obama intimated that you and I are to blame when he said we, "need to do some soul searching".

I would agree with him that those who vote democRAT should reevaluate their support for a political party and its policies that have allowed and even caused the black family to deteriorate the way it has.

Same as in Detroit. The last republican elected in that city was 1964. I tried to point this out to a couple of my UAW coworkers recently only to be told it was the fault of the greedy rich CEOs of the auto industry that killed prosperity there. There is no fixing stupid.

It really doesn’t take a ‘genius’ to figure out that LBJ and his ‘grate [sic] society’ managed to do what slavery (from rounding them up in Africa, transporting, reassigning, working the fields in America), segregation, the KKK, Jim Crow etal, couldn’t do -

Break up the Black Family Structure.

American cities are by and large Democratic-party monopolies, monopolies generally dominated by the so-called progressive wing of the party. The results have been catastrophic....

....but are in the main looting businesses and carrying out acts of wanton opportunistic vandalism...

Toilet paper and hair extensions. The pettiness of it stands in stark contrast to the havoc they wreak.

Adam Jackson declared that in Baltimore “the Democrats and the Republicans have both failed.” Really? Which Republicans? Ulysses S. Grant?

There's been a Republican governor for three months. That must be whom Jackson is referring to.

...from which no one seems to be willing to draw the obvious conclusion:

Nor will the day ever come.

nd the kids in the street screaming about “inequality”? Somebody should tell them that the locale in these United States with the least economic inequality is Utah, i.e. the state farthest away from the reach of the people who run Baltimore.

Interesting.... Hadn't considered Utah for residence till now.

Same as Chicago. The last Republican mayor, Big Bill Thompson, unfortunately as corrupt as they can get, left office in 1931....84 years of Democrat rule. The city is incredibly corrupt, insolvent, and crime ridden. Democrats, the wrecking crew, all the way. Tragic.

There’s nothing ‘Democratic’ about the DemocRAT party.

When are the Blacks going to realize what the Democrats have done to them over the years? They voted against the Civil Rights Act, they perpetuated poverty through creation of ghettos and tenements giving the welfare check, they created the ‘hood’ and hopelessness, they created a gang atmosphere, they kept Blacks dependent upon their social programs, and on and on and on.
