Baltimore: The big picture. First, the good jobs disappeared. City infrastructure crumbles, then the middle class fled to the suburbs, public schools fail, more jobs shipped overseas, police crack down to keep lid on the many disenfranchised.

What do you expect after decades of Libtard administration but a failed city?
Show me a successful city run by Democrats and I’ll show you either a city manager system or one that hasn’t been long under Democratic control.

See, it the other party’s fault and while our party doesn’t have a proven working solution, we can blame them quite loudly.

“First, the good jobs disappeared”. Like magic? Or like high taxes and regulations? And maybe, just maybe, Mayor(now Presidential candidate) Martin O’Malley’s ‘enforcement by the numbers’ policy had something to do with it.

This cartoon hits America right on the nose. Stifle the bastards, turn them down at every turn, don’t give them a break, just be rude and cruel it’s all that they deserve. Give them bunk, there like the rats living in the dump.

Your quote is quite close. LBJ didn’t say "…voting Democratic for the next two hundred years” Instead, he said “For if we don’t move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there’ll be no way of stopping them, we’ll lose the filibuster and there’ll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It’ll be Reconstruction all over again.” But it’s much the same sentiment, I’d guess. But LBJ understood that there was a long history of racial problems in the US. Self-evident, right? So the so-called Great Society stuff came to pass. Good intentions, with bad out comes. Seems to me you have to keep the good intention and try something else. I guess I’ve said this a few times in a few comments over the last few days, because the conservative voices seem not to be paying attention. The late progressive Senator Daniel Patrick Moynahan noted the issue with fatherless families. But we can’t turn the clock back, and you can’t ignore the racial facts in our country. Well, you can ignore them, but it’s a denial of the obvious, right? So why don’t we try to reform AFDC and SNAP to encourage intact families? Doesn’t that make sense?
