“Let me guess -— all run for decades by DhminiCRAPS”

Of course.

But look a little further. All populated by people susceptible to democratic demagougery. “It’s us against the corporate Fat Cats”, etc.

I’m a native Clevelander. I’m afraid the people around here got what they wanted.

Dayton is smaller and thus less noticeable but it should be the ‘trophy’ city: run by and for liberal Democrats who can watch Fortune 500 firms dashing out of town and huge plants shut down (GM, Delco, etc.) and still claim that they are somehow pro-growth, pro-business, etc.

They have refused to do the bare minimum when it comes to criminals having the run of the place and downtown in particular is a no-go zone (not that there’s anything to do or see any more).

Separated by 50-60 miles, Dayton was always the blue-collar old-line Dem complement to Republican stronghold Cincinnati but Dayton seemed to actually believe the Dem rhetoric about “the werkin’ man” until there were no “werkin’ men” left.

Younger freepers might find it hard to believe that Detroit was once a vibrant, industrious American city.

Video #1: Detroit 1965

After 55 years of solid blue Democrat leadership, Detroit fundamentally changed.

Video #2: Detroit 2009
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hhJ_49leBw

It is truly shocking to compare the Detroits depicted in these two videos.

There really are two Americas: socialist, welfare-state hellholes like Detroit that are utterly dependent upon the federal government and the American civil society comprised of productive business, professions, families, and other voluntary civic, social, and religious organizations. The Democrat dream is to eliminate the latter to unify America in the former ... just like they’ve done in Detroit.
