The price of Leftist theory

I want you to take a mental trip with me.

When people say "Detroit" today, it brings to mind something very different than it used to.  I don't want you to think of the connotation of today.  Let's take a trip back to the 50's and 60's.

Back in those days, Detroit was one of the Shining Cities of America.  The Holy Land of the automobile.  A hub of commerce and culture.  A showcase of daring architecture and phenomenal music.  A launching point to an unimaginably bright future, where anything was possible.

Think about that.  Take as long as you like.  Let your mind wander freely and openly.  Consider all the wonderful things the Detroit of yesteryear promised America and the world.  Think about all the potential it offered humanity.



And now it's dead.  But not from natural causes.  No, indeed--it was murder most foul.

Detroit decided to become an experiment in Leftist policy.  From the unions to the schools to the government, it followed the Oppressive playbook to the letter.

And this is the result.  One of the greatest marvels ever produced by humanity is now a blasted wasteland.  Over half the population has evacuated.  At least a quarter of the city is abandoned and rotting.  Crime has soared.  People are planting gardens in vacant lots.  Not neighborhood-beautification flower gardens...vegetable gardensSo they can eat.

But fear not.  The Leftists are still running the show, and they have the ultimate solution to Detroit's woes...Light Rail.  Yeah, that'll certainly get everything back on track.  Really.

Some of you may be given to question my vitriol towards Big Gubmint in general and the Left in particular.  This is why.  Because Leftist policies murder all that is good about the human race.  It's all they accomplish.  It's all they can accomplish.  Were I a Christian, I would state unequivocally that Leftism is absolutely and completely of the Devil.

You bastards utterly destroyed one of our country's greatest treasures, and now you want to do the same to the rest of America.

NOT.  ON.  MY.  WATCH.  Consider yourselves duly warned.
