Ineptocracy - Sad but True!

The next step is to see the bigger picture though and put stupid liberal policies in the same flawed boat as the stupid neoconservative policies, all as if they were the same sin, which they are.

That's good news for me. Kick ass countries going broke = kick ass places to live for pennies on the dollar.

Sad but true? Fuck that. Megadeth is way better than Metallica (helium-inhaling fool Hetfield, whiny napster-hating, but all of a sudden download-loving Ulrich, ape-man Trujillo and faggy boy Hammet).

All hail Dave Mustaine! The only person telling the world of the political turmoil in the US of A.

Umm, I heard there's also a guy named Ron Paul or something that has said a thing or two about it...

I think it should be pointed out that Detroit has a higher population than the entire state of vermont...since for some weird reason these two are being compared?

The policies pushed by both parties are whatever the lobbyists tell them to push. Small businesses get less love than the large multinationals because they have less money to lobby with. Poor people have unions and other special interests to lobby for them, not because they give a fuck about poor people, but because more government programs mean more government jobs needed to administer those programs. They actually have an incentive to keep people poor for their own job security.

Both parties are full of shit but for different reasons. The difference though is businesses actually do create jobs, whereas handouts just create dependent people that can't take care of themselves.

When you really look at the outcome of the policies you'll realize just how discriminatory and sometimes flat out racist most liberal policies are. The entire liberal ideology is based around telling certain groups of people that they are not capable of doing well on their own. They ingrain that shit in people from an early age that the only way they can make it in life is with help from the government, but all it does is create dependence.

It's very simple. If one man is offering to teach you to fish and another man is offering to give you a fish, who is doing you more harm? It can be tempting to take the easy way out but if you never learn to fish you have to keep going back to the other man to give you a fish everyday, which means you are essentially his slave for life.

Good point you got there. I agree

Let me try and explain it like this. On the national stage, we have liberals and conservatives battling it out. One group may run things for awhile, then the other and they keep switching back and forth. As a result, every group wants to take credit for the good, and blame the other for the bad.

The only way to know how liberal or conservative policies really work would be to isolate them for a long time - say, 40+ years. Give one ideology complete and total control of all branches of government for 40+ years and I think we could make some conclusions on the effectiveness of that ideology.

Well it just so happens that we have a perfect candidate for that.

Detroit

That's right, my hometown. Beautiful Detroit Michigan has been run completely by liberal mayors, city council and judges for over 40 years. And we have conclusive results from that little social experiment. Come have a look for yourself. Just try not to get shot while making Kool-Aid.

So when conservatives or libertarians say that these policies are fucked up, it's not because they hate poor people. It's because they don't work.

Lol Detroit is full of bum ass corruption and ignorance stemmed from a disease - liberalism.

Detroit

Yes, liberals know how to manage their money.

Any policies that are specific to New Orleans? Food stamps and section 8 housing, for example, are federal policies that apply the same to people in Berkeley California or any other town in the nation. Louisiana has a republican governor and state legislature.





State governments arguably have more influence over people than city ones, so they can't be ignored if we are looking for correlations.

Oklahoma City and Tulsa are top 20 crime cities. Every county in Oklahoma overwhelmingly voted for McCain.

Another exception would be : Alaska Progress Report: Anchorage fifth most dangerous city in US


Also, the rural conservative areas of the US would still have much higher crime and such in comparison to many of the big liberal cities in other parts of the planet. Crime rates are very low throughout many entire nations that are much more liberal than anywhere in the US.

You're logic is completely flawed. You can't compare Oklahoma City and Tulsa to the rest of the state. Neither of those cities are anything like the rest of the state.

The comparisons are of rates, not totals.

Where did I say they were?
