Democrats.
...What's behind the crime problem?<br /><br />Democrats.<br /><br />Think of all of America's big cities. All of them have chronic crime. All of them have large criminal gangs. And all of them have Democrat political machines.<br /><br />This is not a coincidence.<br /><br />Who gets out the vote on Election Day (including shuttling the "floaters" from polling place to polling place)? Why, energetic young "community organizers" with prison tattoos, gold teeth, and wads of hundred dollar bills in their back pockets to take care of minor problems. Major problems get taken care of by a carload of other young "community organizers" with bats and steel-toed boots.<br /><br />In exchange for their enthusiastic volunteer work on Election Day, these young "community organizers" can depend on the city political machine to quash investigations, lowball plea-bargain deals, and lean on witnesses. <br /><br />The gangs give money and material assistance to the politicians, who in turn feed taxpayer money to "community organizations" and steer law enforcement away. The El Rukns gang in Chicago for years got Federal aid money for their work in "organizing the community."<br /><br />Quite simply, the Democratic Party is a massive criminal enterprise. Only when every Democrat politician, party worker, and media enabler is in jail or under the dirt will this country be able to solve its problems.Trimegistusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-62579491947387893412016-06-21T18:02:25.200-05:002016-06-21T18:02:25.200-05:00Not to say there aren't good cops in CHI-RAQ, ...Not to say there aren't good cops in CHI-RAQ, but the combination of gangs, corrupt pols and some police, why, I'm shocked, SHOCKED, I tell you, that Chicago is becoming ungovernable.

Congratulations. That makes you part of the problem, not of the solution. I venture to suggest that I probably know a hell of a lot more than you do about black Africans, from several decades of lived experience all over that continent. Furthermore, there isn't a single geneticist in the world who'll agree with you. Scientifically and medically speaking, you couldn't be more wrong.<br /><br />As for me being frightened of "offending the ultra violent crime gangs and their ACLU leadership" . . . you clearly have never met me, haven't read many of my more than eight years of posts on this blog, and know nothing about my personal history.

Wow, who knew! I figured they'd be delighted to cast aside due process of law when it came to evil, evil guns! I'm using a lot of exclamation points. I'll stop. *anyway* I was pleasantly surprised...I still have to read the statement, but I'm told that they still managed to imply that the 2nd amendment is less important...but hell, at least they're defending it, even if reluctantly! It's amazing how many people just throw the constitution out the window when the word "terrorist" is used. It's not a "terrorist watch list". It's a secret government list of suspected undesirables. Senators have been on it. Three year old children. It's a terrible idea to use such a list as a basis for stripping people of their constitutionally guaranteed freedoms without their ever having been convicted of a crime. And the freaking *democrats* are leading the charge, with all too many republicans following close behind!

As to my generation,...Peter, I largely agree but...<br />As to my generation, we are represented as college students in the media, but fewer and fewer of us go to or complete college, and no one talks about those of us who have started business.<br />There are a ton of responsible people in my generation, but we are just keeping our heads down and trying to live our lives.<br />Sure, we have a lot of loudmouths, but we also have no actual power. We don't run the ACLU, or have candidates for political office. We don't have a say even at the local level, and certainly not at the federal (Sanders included. He is a frigging dinosaur, the only reason he has traction in the younger crowd is he has all the political thought of a teenager).<br />I guess just give us some time to get out from under Gen X. There is a lot of baggage for us to deal with because no one thought how their brilliant ideas would screw us.Hideousdwarfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263002476207555653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-83874311534062918192016-06-21T09:12:44.863-05:002016-06-21T09:12:44.863-05:00"New Mogadishu"."New Mogadishu". ravennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-44780700325338369232016-06-21T09:08:51.439-05:002016-06-21T09:08:51.439-05:00I wondered the same thing.

Honestly I'm not sure whether I can really feel bad about the police having their every move scrutinized, even if it's by an organization like the present-day version of the ACLU. (The ACLU has a noble ideal behind it...but in my opinion they're no longer truly dedicated to that ideal. The ACLU who grudgingly, but nobly, defended a Nazi group's right to march in a Jewish neighborhood, despite -understandably- their loathing for the Nazis in question, is no more, as far as I can tell.) I don't like the consequences inasmuch as it means more people getting hurt...but maybe it'll help remind folks that, per the Supreme Court, the police are *not* there to protect them. Their job (and understand, I don't dislike the police at all -minus the corrupt, authoritarian ones- I just can't stand the idea, pervasive today, that police officers are somehow supposed to be magic talismans whose very reason for existing is to render self-defense and basic prudence no longer necessary...y'know?) is less about preventing theft, or murder, or other crimes, and more about documenting it when it occurs and then catching the alleged perpetrators...any deterrent effects are entirely secondary, at least in theory. Places like New York and Chicago have had this principle abandoned, for a variety of reasons, from organized crime to the childish mentality of many urban dwellers w/ regards to personal defense...and the city governments do their best to enforce and encourage this childish attitude, again, for many reasons. In my opinion, at least, lol. <br /><br />Dang, and I was just planning on saying "yeah, I know...what *was* he trying to say?" ...I can't stop myself!
