The Chickens Are Coming Home To Roost in NYC

It seems the chickens are coming home to roost in New York City. The Upper West Side neighborhood of Manhattan – long considered one of the most liberal communities in the country -- is up in arms as there are several new homeless shelters packed with junkies and registered sex offenders.

According to media reports, hundreds of homeless people have descended upon the area causing chaos. How many of those people blindly vote Democrat, yet are opposed to homelessness in their own backyard? Do these folks, who just a few months were clamoring to defund the police, expect police protection from those shooting drugs up in the streets by their homes? Do they just hope masturbators in the street will miraculously stop?

Against this backdrop, New York City is stopping cars at random checkpoints to enforce quarantine rules, but lets people commit crimes and get out of jail with no bail.

This week, I was thrown out of “Upper West Siders for Safer Streets,” a Facebook discussion group formed to discuss the problems of that neighborhood, for daring to suggest protesting Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio for their policies which are to blame for the issues in our city.

Organizers of these groups removed me for “discussing politics” as they advocate instead, calling City Council members. Nearly all of them vote Democrat and voted de Blasio.

Meanwhile, de Blasio has called people like me who are now living in the Hamptons “fair-weather friends,” saying:

I am a native New Yorker, a product of the NYC public school system who is raising a family in this city, and who has generated hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for this city. Where does it say we need to put our families in danger?

For the next few years, the city that never sleeps will be sleeping. Without restaurants, culture and all the things that made our city great, many residents have left and will not return. Taxes, over-regulation, and soft-on-crime policies like bail reform leave many like this native of NYC wondering why the hell we need it.

Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio will go down in history as the great destroyers of New York City.

Let us pray sane minds prevail in New York City, but I don’t have my hopes up.

The way I see things is this:

Systemic Racism is a by-product of the democrat system. If you live in one of these blue cities there is indeed systemic racism baked into the way your ‘democracy’ is managed. Your community fails to receive proper representation in government. If you community is a nuisance community raked with poverty and drug, it is important to realize you are not a majority in your blue city. While your needs may be greater than the whole, you are not entitled to any more than the next community. Your well meaning representatives fail you at every turn. They are unable to alleviate your poverty and suffering. In the blue city one is indeed trapped in a system that offers very few ways out of the poverty. And those that swoop in to save your community are of ill-will. This you surely must recognize as laws, rules and regulations fail your community over and over again. Businesses build in your community only to be fenced off and employee people from outside your area. You were unable to obtain even the lowest of positions there due to the poor education you received or obtained on your own.

Right now you and your new marxist manipulators riot in the streets. Venting your great anger at this systemic racism. They’ve convinced you it is the white man’s system has failed you. And from your generational perspective, it is somewhat easy to understand in the blue city just how you might allow yourself to be exploited once again. But one must ask you, immigrants from all over the world come here, contribute, and succeed. Some to their wildest dreams they succeed. Why?

Is it really because of the color of their skin they succeed? Yes, yes, yes I know what your answer will be, but that answer rests on a false premise. I ask you as someone looking in our your blue city, what is it about the blue city system that is racist? Why does that system in particular and as evidenced across this nation...is in failure? No, you cannot answer the question for if you could, you would escape its clutches.

All men are created equal endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights. Among these rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

It is not White Fragility we see, it is Liberal Fragility failing. White guilt is a symptom of liberal fragility, of liberal failings, of liberal identity politics failing, of liberal teachings failing, of blue cities being burned to the ground in frustration. The vacuum being left behind is an open door for the marxist and communist. As we sit back and say things like, ‘let them burn/fail,’ we must be aware nature hates a vacuum. Right now that vacuum is being filled with a dangerous ideology and it is time we step up to stop it.

How do we ‘fix’ the blue cities? And no ...voting isn’t the answer right now. Massive cities with millions of people trapped in a system of their own making and manipulations of our own freedoms. Freedom, nor what our Nation represents should ever be a trap.
