The madness
of liberalism has created a “state of emergency” in Chicago. That’s according to Father Michael Pfleger,
the uber-leftwing Catholic priest and “social activist” who’s been a longtime fixture
on the more violent side of Chicago.
Actually, Pfleger only said there was a state of emergency in Chicago (just
like a fire or a flood, he informs us).
It was I who added the part about the madness of liberalism being the
cause, because what else can you call it when people double down on Democrat
leadership and policies that are ruining their cities? Sounds like madness to me.
In response
to the latest news on Chicago’s ever-rising violence, Donald Trump tweeted on
January 2, 2017:
“Chicago murder rate is record
setting - 4,331 shooting victims with 762 murders in 2016. If Mayor can't do it
he must ask for Federal help!”
Actually, if
the Mayor can’t do it he should resign, and he should take his Democrat cronies
with him.
I’m not sure
what Mr. Trump has in mind but as a taxpayer whose money helps fund the federal
government and pay for the resources that Mr. Trump is so generously offering,
I would like to suggest that we institute a policy of not using federal money
to rescue people from perpetually making bad decisions. Mr. Trump is always free to offer up a piece
of his own personal fortune if he sincerely believes it will be money well
spent. It is not the responsibility of
taxpayers, who are already paying to police their own communities, to save
Chicagoans from their own mistakes. In
fact, rescuing them with federal money will only reward and embolden the
stupidity, and ensure a bottomless pit of need.
What ails Chicago is an absence of common-sense (read: conservative) leadership, and you don’t need
money for that. You just need people to
suffer the consequences of their own decisions and to finally get tired of the
pain.
