Who Caused Baltimore’s Collapse?
The Federalist ^ | May 18, 2015 | Newt Gingrich

Posted on 05/18/2015 9:17:02 AM PDT by Texas Fossil

A better future for poor Americans trapped in Baltimore and across the country must start with a fact-based analysis of how we got here and who has been responsible.

Fact: The last Republican city council member in Baltimore City left office in 1942. That is 73 years of solid Democrat city councils.

Fact: The last Republican mayor of Baltimore City left office in 1967. That is 48 years of unbroken Democrat control of the mayor’s office.

Fact: The Maryland Senate is currently 33 Democrats to 14 Republicans.

Fact: The Maryland House is currently 90 Democrats to 50 Republicans.

Fact: The last time Republicans held both the Maryland Senate and the Maryland House of Delegates was 1897.

Fact: The last time Republicans held even one chamber of the Maryland General Assembly—the House—was 1917. That is unbroken Democrat control of the Maryland legislature since 1918, or nearly a century of Democrat control.

Fact: Seven out of eight members of the Maryland delegation in the U.S. House are Democrats.

Newt had his faults, but he is 100% correct in this article.

I excerpted it, because formatting at site makes it easier to read full content.

Baltimore.

Here we have an African-American President appointing an African-American Attorney General to investigate the African-American-lead police force of an African-American city with an African-American mayor. About their racism.

It’s the fault of the Republicans for not letting Rats turn the state into a socialist paradise.

True, Newt isn’t perfect, but who is? I welcome his input - particularly these days since the stakes are so high.

They are no longer Democrats, they long ago merged fully with the CPUSA. 1984 was the last year that CPUSA ran a presidential candidate. Ever since then they have always endorsed the Democrat candidate.

So it is no long the Democrat party, it is now the ComDem Party.

Soon, we will have Baltimore© just as have Selma© and white people will be called racists for using their privilege to speak a term that by rights, belongs to blacks.

Then we can call it “the “B” word”.

FACT: The Maryland Senate uses the Mike V. Miller Senate Office Building.

FACT: The Preaident is the Senate is the same Mike V. Miller- no corruption or cronyism there huh?

FACT: (or rather hearsay that’s probably fact) a friend was told by a Baltimore City school administrator that their history classes BEGIN with the civil rights movement

Let is totally collapse around their shoulders.

ferguson, baltimore, oakland, new york city ... all areas being pushed for social unrest. and the same players will often times be found in each location, like fire bugs lighting forest fires.

but who gave them the matches? who bought the gasoline?

the same people that started jade helm... the other half of the equation.

this is fast & furious part II, but this time they aren’t after the 2nd amendment. this time, they’re pushing for martial law
