If a person happens to point out that Baltimore’s criminally inept government has been run exclusively by Democrats since 1967 (with one Republican mayor since 1947), and features not a single council member who isn’t a liberal, they may be called a “lazy apparatchik.” Because not everything, you see, is reducible to mere party politics.
Now, if an economic renaissance sparked by the progressive policies of Stephanie Rawlings-Blake had lifted Baltimore from poverty, I imagine Democrats would be eager to claim credit for the accomplishment. Entire political debates are predicated on the effectiveness of partisan ideas. We blame presidents for recessions they probably have little to do with, yet, according to liberal pundits, the party overseeing a city riddled with poverty, failing schools, high crime rates, and racial tension bears no responsibility for what’s happening.
The president disagrees. Sort of. After a night of violence and looting in Baltimore, Barack Obama spoke to the press and said that “we,” as a country, “have to do some soul searching” – by which he meant “they,” as in conservatives, need to get on board.

Quit electing democrats, Baltimore.
{{{CRICKETS}}}
Policies have consequences.. Or they should.
“Policies have consequences.. Or they should.”
The tone is that these riots are bad for the Democrats. The Democrats want riots. That’s why they have the policies. Think of them as community organizers. They need the community stirred up and angry because directing those angry rioter as they please gives them the power to do things. Recall “never let a crisis go to waste?” Well, the purpose is to cause a crisis. Here it is.
The chaos of the Middle East is now on American shores in Baltimore. When you watch the fires buring you cannot tell if you are in Baltimore or in a city under ISIS control.
Baltimore is now bankrupt Detroit. It is the proverbial Thunderdome in Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome.

Always have. Always will. We sure never hear any national windbags explain that liberal policies over, at least, five decades have crumbled the foundation, the most basic fabric of decent, moral society.
Liberals have done everything possible to destroy the "family," and a village can't replace it.
The other things they have done, undermine benefits of hard work, ridicule adages that make life worth living and steal the freedom of American citizens made that goal of destroying the family more effective.
I read somewhere that Baltimore is a city that consists of ninety percent half siblings with biological fathers in the home nearly an extinct species. The number may be exaggerated, but the problem is fatal. Until you fix that, there isn't enough money in the Universe to improve the citizens existence.
After you fix it, the money needed will become a pitttance.
The only way to fix it is to tell the citizens that self destruction is voluntary. The taxpayers will no longer subsidize it. You can encourage the moribund to seek help at charities, but the treasury can no longer function as that charity. People have to attack the new life cold turkey.
Until our quote-endquote leaders are willing to tell the truth about this, every other proposed solution is a complete waste of air.
Wait till the riots hit after those officers who were charged without factual basis are found not guilty. That will be the end of Baltimore.
The officers are thrown to the lions. The mob exploded in a paroxysm of irrational jubilation. A Che Guevara style tribunal will judge the accused policemen - no more innocent until proven guilty according to mob law. Four of the six accused officers are the ones charged with manslaughter. Of those 4, three are Blacks and one is White. Their heads will be presented to the mobs in a silver plate to placate the rabble of noisy angry thugs.
“The liberal left can be as rigid and destructive as any force in American life.” Dem. senator Daniel Moynihan
Democratic hard left control of Baltimore is the root causes of the riots and racial division in spite that all the power is in the hand of Black democrats for several generations.
Baltimore Mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, ordered the police: to “stand down” “LET THEM LOOT. IT’ S ONLY PROPERTY”. We saw hell explode after the Black democratic mayor gave the thugs carte blanche to destroy the city. The police weren’t allowed to defend the city. More than 100 officers were injured, some seriously.
Why the Baltimore riots, looting and destruction of their own Black neighborhoods? Did the Blacks doubted for a moment that the Black establishment in control of Baltimore will fail to condemn the officers to the highest penalty allowed by Law?
Facts are irrelevant for Anarchists, Communists, professionals agitators and “community organizers” followers of Marxist Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” strategy.
Obama is the most racist and divisive president in our history. Obama does not want unity. He wants to keep the country as polarized and disoriented as possible. Obama has been inflaming racial tension since he took power. According Alinisky’s tactics adopted by Obama, change has to be brought through relentless agitation and “trouble making” of a kind that radically disrupts society as it is.
David Horowitz' excellent recently published pamphlet "Barack Obama's Rules for Revolution: The Alinsky Model" offers keen insights into Alinsky and what it might mean when Alinsky followers are in positions of power. The conclusions he reaches are not pleasant but are borne out by current events, public utterances of the president, his history, and the work of Alinsky himself.
What we are seeing is the most radical President in our country’s history who is unable to govern because governing is not his purpose. The Alinskyite, ever the destroyer of institutions, cannot govern because governments and societies are built upon institutions.
Do Black lives really matter? How many of the parents of Blacks murdered by Blacks received a call of Obama or send his personal representative to the funeral? Did our condolences in chief has ever called the parents of so many Whites killed by Blacks?
As Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke said : Obama ‘Quietly Enjoying’ Unrest in Baltimore.
Yep! I was listening to Hannity Friday and he said that according to his sources there will be no convictions of the officers. Do you know that that Mosby character the state’s attorney is only 35 years old? She is going to be eaten alive, She looks so inexperienced and honestly downright stupid that she has no idea what she is in for.
In any case Baltimore is the new bankrupt Detroit. That city is toast.
I don’t mind that that idiot Mosby gets destroyed by this stupid decision to charge the officers in the absence of evidence against them. She deserves to end up with the same result as the Duke prosecutor—in jail. What bothers me about it is that what she did will be the cause of a lot of damage and some potential injury and death when those who don’t understand what is required for a criminal conviction hear only that the po-leece got off yet again, and tear down the city. That will be a crying shame.

Baltimore is now THROW AWAY. The city is out of control and headed to decay and ruins like Detroit or maybe much much worse.
Any business that is still there when the officers are found not guilty and the riots begin again will be responsible for their own smoldering ruins. Anyone with half a brain will begin evacuating right now, while there is still some property value. If the Republican governor is smart, he will work to delay any trial until Obama is out of office. Then, he can call in the National Guard without interference, and stop the state from burning down.
