The city of Chicago, Illinois has been led exclusively by Democratic mayors since 1931. Under the “progressive” policies of such notables as Richard J. Daley, Michael Bilandic, Jane Byrne, and Harold Washington, the city’s economic and social fabric decayed markedly during the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s. These trends were accompanied by a steep decline in Chicago’s population, which fell from 3.62 million in 1950 to 2.78 million by 1990.

The population today is 2.707 million.

I would not live there if someone paid me to. I will not permit them to turn the rest of our nation into that cesspool.

Are we watching the Balkanization of America or are we all going to be Chicago in the end ?

Paying it back is not their problem. America, like Chicago, is too big to fail.

The machine operators live in a world where the people and the cities are collateral to be borrowed against. As long as they control governments, they imagine that there will always be greedy suckers ponying up a few trillion which the next generation will pay off and the one after that.

It never occurs to them that the rest of the world is filled with starving human collateral and the ruins of old cities. It never occurs to them that Chicago, Detroit and New York are just places where people made things and earned a living. And that a city without an economy is just Somalia or El Salvador with a lot of tall buildings.

America is now being run by the logic of the urban machine. The rules on which the cities run are being applied to the rest of the country when it comes to gun control, health care and race. The rules broke the cities and they are breaking the country. And there is no escaping the rules without breaking the power of the urban political machine that now controls the country.

That article is absolutely brilliant, and absolutely spot on. That's why I refer to machine politicians as cogs in the machinery of Mordor.

We are living in a time when this Republic is confronted by a monumental cross-roads.

This Republic is confronted with the prospect of having an illigitimate,undocumented alien in the White House....pretending to be "president".

The lines have been drawn. States like Alaska, Texas, Wyoming, Montana, and Oklahoma I might add... are serving notice on the Communist Dictator-wanna-be-in-chief Maobama that it just ain't gonna go down quite like you and your comrades imagined.

The "debate " over the Second Amendment was resolved in 1791 when it was ratified.

Keep on pushing against it..... and you will find out precisely WHAT the Second Amendment "means".

Washington, D.C. wasn't the first choice for a Capitol, and it won't be the last.

we have our problems here in Texas as well .... Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Dallas ....

It's only going to get worse.

One of two things will happen. Either good will win or evil will trigger a war. Too many Americans have been free for too long to go quietly into the gulags. Let us pray that good wins, because war is good for no one, especially the very young and the elderly.
