In January 2013, a 32-second radio advertisement was broadcast in Milwaukee, and — quite by accident — a political star was born. Hoping to encourage local residents to play a part in their own protection, the commercial’s progenitor went firmly on the record in favor of the private ownership of firearms: “With officers laid off and furloughed, simply calling 911 and waiting is no longer your best option.” Rather, listeners were invited to “consider taking a certified safety course in handling a firearm.” “You have a duty to protect yourself and your family,” the commercial intoned. “Can I count on you?”

Sheriff David Clarke is a true patriot. We could use thousands more like him across the USA.

Sorry it only covers the first part of the story. Gotta pay to read the whole thing but I think you may get the gist of it.

“Sheriff David Clarke is a true patriot. We could use thousands more like him across the USA.”

And Tom Barrett is the typical POS DemoRAT/Marxist mayor that most of our disfunctional large cities have today.

“You nailed it Vette.I ask the Democrats I know ( none I call friends) to name one major American city run by Democrats that is not hosed up. I am hearing silence from them.Sheriff Clarke is a rock solid American and LEO.”

And at the risk of being called racist, I will take it one step further and say that the worst of the worst of our large cities are by and large run by minority “leaders.” I suppose this is because their constituents are largely also minority, but it’s an amazing phenominon that you could have a once shining city, Detroit, tumble into abject disrepair and disfunctionallity with twenty plus years of “black leadership.” These places suffer from a dearth in education and a desire by the populus to be “taken care of.” But in the end it just crashes, and yet they go on believing that the RATs can indeed turn $hit into gold for them.

They are continually told, and the education establishment confirms it, that their problems are all the result of racism and white privileged.

It is much easier to believe an excuse that relieves you of responsibility, than it is to assume that responsibility.

And since their “culture”eschews education as a white man’s tool of oppression, they walk around with their pants at half mast wondering why nothing ever changes for them.
