It is a sad commentary when the possible deployment of the National Guard is to do anything other than assist citizens in a time of natural disaster...
We worry so much about the rest of the world. Suffering anywhere is tragic, but how are we suppose to be there for the rest of the world when we have a city imploding on itself like Chicago?
I, as is well known, all for law and order... I just have a hard time wrapping my mind around deploying military against our own people. I firmly believe people bring their own problems upon themselves... But, I also believe we as a nation need to address what is going on in America, and I do say America other than Chicago since I do not see Chicago as an isolated occurrence. Other cities may not be as bad yet, but they are working on it.
I do not think the stick is the answer. Nor am I for distributing pallets of money. I saw a piece on TV where a women was using the tired term, "economic opportunities" is what Chicago needs. And if the economy in Chicago were booming crime would decrease. Should the federal government give everybody in Chicago a job?
I do notice that nobody has actually offered anything other than the same bullet points over and over...
Chicago, needs "economic opportunities", more jobs, business need to hire, more people need to start businesses... But nobody seems to have a clue HOW... That question that people run from as hard and fast as they can... HOW? My wife's cat gets Chicago needs "economic opportunities", where are the politicians who are paid to figure out HOW?

Chicago needs the same thing all cities need. Don't have kids until you are married, stay married, put emphasis on kid's education, and raise good kids. All else by and large works itself out.
Yes, now it has gotten so bad maybe it is time to do something drastic to get some order and safety in place.

Do you and Don Juan live in the land of OZ? You can't possibly be that naive. All you have to do is click your heels together and most importantly... believe. And all your glorious and magical dreams can come true.
You talk like those con artist motivational speakers.

Sadly you are correct that this generation may be lost. But I have optimism for the future generations. They can change things. What do we say? Today's youth is 100% of tomorrow's future.
Maybe you are right that we are too far down this path exemplified by Detroit, Chicago, I.E. But if we could get back to tried and true methods we can turn it around, I hope.

This generation is lost and there is no future. No one can change anything because the United States has become an aristocracy. All of our schools subliminally promote a Democratic-Republic and republicans subliminally promote an Aristo-theocracy. We are currently living in an aristocratic-democratic-republic police state. The evidence is all around us.
No one can stop the machine. The people are just pawns given the illusion of choice in a rigged subliminal game of divide and conquer chess. You can thank Nixon and Reagan for all of those deaths and the billions of other deaths as a result of the stupid drug war. The Republican Party deserves a round of applause. Republicans hate dark people so they don’t give a damn about what’s happening and democrats only give a damn about Latinos.

Wow. So all this is coming to fruition in Chicago of all places. Hard to believe this subliminal racist Republican conspiracy could do so well in such a Democratic bastion.

Not sure what this means? Who is dividing and conquering what? This is a well-planned thing? What would be the next step in a dumpster fire like Detroit or Chicago?

What? The location is completely irrelevant. What’s happening in Chicago is the result of an irreversible republican national policy, not state or local.
Billionaire donors buy politicians and those bought politicians divide the country in order to conquer it. Collateral damage is a consequence in political chess. That’s all Chicago and Detroit are.

How so? I would argue it is just the opposite. The liberal policies are accentuated in Liberal-run cities. We have dropped/encouraged this lack of education, lack of strict law enforcement, lack of family unit, etc. These are the Liberal policies coming to fruition here. Look at the teen unemployment rate and lack of education among the youth in these cities.

I needed a good laugh this morn... Thank You...
Just out of curiosity... When you make tin foil hats... Do you want the shiny side toward you or on the outside?

So, liberals want people to be stupid, total anarchy and are against marriage? Funny considering liberals are pro-college intellectuals that create more laws/rules/regulations and dream of a hippy hugging utopia.
You have it backwards. Republicans hate that big city book learnin’ and want tha coppers’ a’wastin time on victimless crimes and constantly block consenting happy adults from building families. The drug war is the cause of what’s happening.
I agree liberals are to blame for some of the mess but are not the cause of the mess. I can dismiss it because the root of the problem is caused by a national policy. The drug war is not a liberal creation.

I can list all the documentaries and books that prove my positions. I wouldn’t be laughing if I was you. Remember you claim to be an alien from the future with a message for the central core and believe that aliens are preparing an invasion?

Liberals may not want people to be stupid but they do need people to be dependent. The only government program conservatives promote is the military. Let's take a look at programs liberals promote...
Welfare/Food Stamps Unemployment Illegal Immigration Obamacare/Medicaid Public Education Social Security/SSI
The more people dependent on the above programs the more voters liberal politicians have. You ever heard the phrase "Those that rob Peter to pay Paul will always have the support Paul"

This continued argument of liberal/conservative run cities is such intellectual dishonesty. It presupposes facts that one cannot possibly prove (for example, that no Republican law/agenda would have any impact on a specific city and vice-versa).
Cities like Chicago have significant problems, but so did NY years ago. Some of that was directly impacted by a Mayor who installed more police (and more police power) but also because the federal government had set aside money for more police.
Detroit's problems have more to do with the longstanding employment issues associated with the cities main source of employment (a failed industry). Many mill towns have the same issues, with much less size.

No they don't. It is just that their policies lead to it is all. They absolutely mean well. It is more the War on Poverty than the War on Drugs to me. This is a very good article on this that happened to come out last week I think. But he has written on this before in depth as we have talked about before on here.
Not sure if the big-book learning is good or bad, whether it is Left or Right. Sometimes the tried and true methods may be best. I mean don't you think you really can outthink yourself sometimes with 'new and improved methods'?
Let's say there was no War on Drugs. It is a free wheel and deal situation. There are no consequences for dealing or using. You think that then all those folks would be encouraged to maintain family units, emphasize education, work-ethic, etc.? I just don't think so. The Liberal policies have (with good intentions) led to people getting away from these good habits that have worked to amek the country great. As Williams points out in the article---this started way before the War on Drugs. These programs and attitudes have made the drug trade more viable and accepted is all.
I think you see this exemplified in the big inner cities that have huge Liberal leadership and policies. Detroit, Philly, Chicago, D.C., etc.
