More heartache for David Frum as three Americans use handguns to defend themselves

How insensitive of these three. Don’t they know how hard they are making it for David Frum to Tweet smart ass things mocking self-defense and gun owners?

In Detroit, MI two teens, 16-and 17-year old brothers, tried to rob two men working on a public lighting pole. The brothers pulled out a weapon and aimed it at the workers; one of the workers has a carry conceal permit and was armed at the time. He shot both of the teens, who are now recovering in the hospital. The workers were questioned and released.

A robber in Phoenix, AZ was not so lucky. A man arrived home and saw his carport door was wide open. He decided to enter through the front door and found his house ransacked. Two suspects escaped through the carport door, while two more ran out of the bedroom. One of them followed the other two out of the door, but 16-year-old Mario Barcenas decided to run at the homeowner.

Unfortunately for Barcenas the homeowner was carrying his gun. He took it out and shot Barcenas with one round. He was taken to the hospital and later died. Police are investigating, but said the homeowner was acting in self-defense and no charges have been filed against him.

Poor Frum, you poor ignorant, over-educated bastard!

 

From the some religions are more equal than others department

Comes a story from Michigan, where an ad that questions the existence of God is OK, but an ad questioning the existence of Muhammed, not so much. Zion’s Trumpet has it

This ad ran on Detroit SMART buses here

Crains Business wrote this:

While the ads may offend some, SMART’s Beth Dryden tells Shea they met the system guidelines and were vetted by their legal department.

March 3, Crain’s: Additionally, because the ads are what SMART considers “viewpoint-neutral content” the agency can’t reject them, she said. That’s because a government agency cannot censor such content, which is protected by the First Amendment.

Got that? Good.We submitted the ad below to this same transit agency in Detroit/Dearborn, SMART, and we were DENIED. This ad was rejected:

Here’s what SMART said:

The proposed advertisement submitted by Pamela Geller has been reviewed under SMART’s content policy. SMART, consistent with its review process, also reviewed the referred-to website:thetruthaboutmuhammed.com.  Consistent with its policy, with the Sixth Circuit opinion in AFDI v SMART, and consistent with other law, SMART declines to post the advertisement.

Our message parallels the atheist ads. Since they were accepted, I modeled this ad after theirs, to see if the freedom of speech applied to criticism of Islam in our cowardly and politically correct age. This is the same government agency that refused to run our “Leaving Islam?” ads that were designed to help Muslim girls who wanted to lead more Western lives escape dangerous devout households. SMART refused. My legal team, David Yerushalmi and Robert Muise of the American Freedom Law Centerand I sued. We won. They appealed to the 6th circuit court (a sharia-sensitive court). The Sixth Circuit said that the ad was a political ad — SMART doesn’t run political ads. So in my quest to fight on, I wanted to point out their hypocrisy as we go back to court. This rejection does just that.  We fight on.

America has a gang problem

Not a gun problem, but a GANG problem. Daniel Greenfield mows down the Liberal case that more gun control will reduce our murder rate

Chicago’s murder numbers have hit that magic 500. Baltimore’s murder toll has passed 200. In Philly, it’s up to 324, the highest since 2007. In Detroit, it’s approaching 400, another record. InNew Orleans, it’s almost at 200. New York City is down to 414 from 508. InLos Angeles, it’s over 500. In St. Louis it’s 113 and 130 in Oakland.  It’s 121 inMemphis and 76 in Birmingham.

Washington, D.C., home of the boys and girls who can solve it all, is nearing its own big 100.

Those 12 cities alone account for nearly 3,200 dead and nearly a quarter of all murders in the United States. And we haven’t even visited sunny Atlanta or chilly Cleveland.

These cities are the heartland of America’s real gun culture. It isn’t the bitter gun-and-bible clingers in McCain and Romney territory who are racking up a more horrifying annual kill rate than Al Qaeda; it’s Obama’s own voting base.

Chicago, where Obama delivered his victory speech, has homicide numbers that match all of Japan and are higher than Spain, Poland and pre-war Syria. If Chicago gets any worse, it will find itself passing the number of murders for the entire country of Canada.

Chicago’s murder rate of 15.65 per 100,000 people looks nothing like the American 4.2 rate, the Midwestern 4.5 or the Illinois’ 5.6 rates, but it does look like the murder rates in failed countries like Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe. To achieve Chicago’s murder rate, African countries usually have to experience a bloody genocidal civil war or decades of tyranny.

But Chicago isn’t even all that unique. Or the worst case scenario. That would be New Orleans which at an incredible 72.8 murder rate is ten times higher than the national average. If New Orleans were a country, it would have the 2^ndhighest murder rate in the world, beating out El Salvador.

Louisiana went red for Romney 58 to 40, but Orleans Parish went blue for Obama 80 to 17.

St. Louis has a murder rate just a little lower than Belize. Baltimore has a worse murder rate than South Africa and Detroit has a worse murder rate than Colombia. Obama won both St. Louis and Baltimore by comfortable margins. He won Detroit’s Wayne County 73 to 26.

Homicide rates like these show that something is broken, but it isn’t broken among the Romney voters rushing to stock up on assault rifles every time Obama begins threatening their right to buy them; it’s broken among Obama’s base.

Read the rest, Greenfield points out the problem very well. Liberals can whine all day about “getting the guns” but they should be focusing on “getting the gangs”

A breakdown of the Chicago killing fields shows that 83% of those murdered in Chicago last year had criminal records. In Philly, it’s 75%. In Milwaukee it’s 77% percent. In New Orleans, it’s 64%. In Baltimore, it’s 91%. Many were felons who had served time. And as many as 80% of the homicides were gang related.

Chicago’s problem isn’t guns; it’s gangs. Gun control efforts in Chicago or any other major city are doomed because gangs represent organized crime networks which stretch down to Mexico, and trying to cut off their gun supply will be as effective as trying to cut off their drug supply.

America’s murder rate isn’t the work of the suburban and rural homeowners who shop for guns at sporting goods stores and at gun shows, and whom news shows profile after every shooting, but by the gangs embedded in the urban areas controlled by the Democratic machine. The gangs who drive up America’s murder rate look nothing like the occasional mentally ill suburban white kid who goes off his medication and decides to shoot up a school. Lanza, like most serial killers, is a media aberration, not the norm.

National murder statistics show that blacks are far more likely to be killers than whites and they are also far more likely to be killed. The single largest cause of homicides is the argument. 4^th on the list is juvenile gang activity with 676 murders, which combined with various flavors of gangland killings takes us nearly to the 1,000 mark. America has more gangland murders than Sierra Leone, Eritrea and Puerto Rico have murders.

 

Only 7% Of Detroit Public-School 8th Graders Proficient In Reading

Only 7% Of Detroit Public-School 8th Graders Proficient In Reading – CNS

In the public schools in Detroit, Mich., according to the U.S. Department of Education, only 7 percent of the eighth graders are grade-level proficient or better in reading.

Some public school teachers in the City of Detroit and around the state of Michigan are reportedly taking a vacation or a sick day today to protest right-to-work legislation likely to be approved by the state legislature. Under current law, Michigan public school teachers must pay dues to the teachers’ union. If the right-to-work law is enacted, Michigan public-school teachers will be free to join the union and pay dues to it if they wish, but they will also be free not to join the union and not to pay it dues.

Detroit public-school eighth graders do even worse in math than they do in reading, according to the Department of Education. While only 7 percent scored highly enough on the department’s National Assessment of Educational Progress test in 2011 to be rated “proficient” or better in reading, only 4 percent scored highly enough to be rated “proficient” or better in math.

Statewide in Michigan, only 32 percent of public-school eighth graders scored grade-level proficient or better in reading, and only 31 percent scored grade-level proficient or better in math.

68 percent of Michigan public-school eighth graders are not proficient in reading and 69 percent are not proficient in math.

Over the past decade, Michigan’s public school have shown no improvement at all in teaching children how to read. In 2002 just as in 2011, according to the U.S. Department of Education, only 32 percent of Michigan public-school eighth graders scored proficient or better in reading.

The state’s public schools have made a slight improvement in teaching math. In 2000, only 28 percent of Michigan public-school eighth graders were proficient or better in math. By 2011, that had inched up to 31 percent.

Tigers sweep away Yankees head to Fall Classic

Tigers finished off the Yankees 8-1 Thursday afternoon

Prince Fielder waved his arms franticly, gleefully calling off his teammates while the crowd at Comerica Park roared.

From the moment the big first baseman signed his massive contract in January, an entire city had been waiting for a chance to celebrate like this. After another dazzling effort by Detroit’s starting pitchers and another soaring home run by Miguel Cabrera, Fielder caught the final out to send the Tigers to the World Series — with a sweep of the New York Yankees, no less.

“There’s still along way to go but this is an awesome feeling,” Fielder said.

Max Scherzer capped a stupendous stretch for Detroit’s rotation, and the Tigers won their second pennant in seven years by beating the Yankees 8-1 Thursday for a four-game sweep of the AL championship series.

Cabrera and Jhonny Peralta hit two-run homers in a four-run fourth inning against CC Sabathia, who was unable to prevent the Yankees from getting swept in a postseason series for the first time in 32 years.

Congrats to the Tigers who are seeking their first World Series win since 1984

 

Tigers shut out Yankees 3-0 lead ALCS 2-0

Detroit seeks their first world title in 28 years

Anibal Sanchez and the Detroit Tigers made the plays, got a favorable call from an umpire and took advantage of their few chances at the plate.

The reward: a commanding lead in the AL championship series, and a trip home with their ace ready to start.

Sanchez shut down a Yankees lineup minus injured Derek Jeter, and Detroit won without any drama, beating New York 3-0 Sunday for a 2-0 cushion.

Yankees starter Hiroki Kuroda pitched perfect ball into the sixth inning. But the slumping New York hitters looked lost a day after their captain broke his ankle in the 12th inning of a 6-4 loss.

 

Tigers top Yanks in extra innings, Jeter gone for the year

It took twelve innings but Detroit finally took game 1 of the ALCS 6-4, and the Yankees lost a lot more than just a game

The New York Yankees lost the AL Championship Series opener and their captain when Derek Jeter broke his left ankle moments after Detroit’s Delmon Youngdoubled home the go-ahead run in the 12th inning, giving the Tigers a bizarre 6-4 win on Saturday night.

In a game of wild swings and wild swings of emotion, the Tigers took a 4-0 lead into the ninth before Raul Ibanez struck again, hitting a tying, two-run homer with two outs that turned a somber crowd into a delirious one.

And then came a little grounder up the middle that devastated the Yankees and their fans, who saw their leader writhing on the ground, screaming in pain.

Jeter rolled when he reached down in an attempt to glove Jhonny Peralta‘s grounder up the middle in the 12th, planted his left foot and tumbled, landing on his stomach. Unable to move, he backflipped the ball toward second baseman Robinson Cano.

You never want to see anyone get hurt, even if you are pulling for their team to lose.

 

Tigers edge A’s in 9th lead series 2-0

 

Detroit is one win away from the ALCS

A dropped fly, two wild pitches and a little smooch for the baseball by a relieved reliever.

Then Don Kelly brought it all to an end with a simple fly ball.

Kelly scored the tying run on a wild pitch in the eighth inning, then hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth that lifted the Detroit Tigers over the Oakland Athletics 5-4 Sunday for a 2-0 lead in their AL playoff series.

“Was looking for a fastball and I got it,” Kelly said. “It’s a great feeling. To be able to go out there in that situation and do that.”

Detroit will go for a sweep of the division series matchup in Game 3 on Tuesday at Oakland.

 

Why are Liberal women so obsessed with their vaginas?

I always thought women were PEOPLE, not any certain body part, or parts. Isn’t that what Feminists are supposed to believe? So why do so many Feminist women seem so eager to reduce themselves to a vagina? I’m a Man has similar questions

Was it Tourette’s Syndrome Awareness Day at the Michigan State House?  Of course not!  It was just another friendly abortion debate pitting evil Republicans against vaginas everywhere.

Rep. Lisa Brown, a Democrat from suburban Detroit, was silenced after Republicans who control the chamber said she violated decorum. While speaking Wednesday against a bill requiring doctors to ensure women aren’t coerced into ending their pregnancies, Brown told Republicans, “I’m flattered you’re all so concerned about my vagina. But no means no.” Continue reading here…

Rep. Barb Byrum was also barred from speaking Friday after violating the same rules of decorum by uttering the word “vasectomies” when asked to step away from the microphone.

While I find their speaking bans a little ridiculous, I wonder about the intent behind their words.  Does Rep. Brown think anyone cares about her vagina?  Does she believe the abortion debate is about controlling women?  Does Rep. Byrum equate vasectomy coverage to murdering a child?  Really?

I suppose it boils down to this, when you cannot defend abortion on demand with medical facts, or reason, you must go to the emotionalistic rhetoric well huh?

Penguins hold off Flyers, stay alive, Red Wings ousted by Predators

Two teams faced elimination last night in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. One staved off defeat, the other are the Detroit Red Wings.

Pittsburgh, once doe 3-0 to the Flyers won their second straight elimination game and forced a game 6 back in Philadelphia Sunday.

In Nashville, the Red Wings had no answer for Predator goalie Pekka Rinne, and fell four games to one. This was an early exit for Detroit, which has won four Stanley Cups and played in two more finals since the 1994-95 season. The Red Wings become the first team to exit these playoffs, and Nashville will wait to see who they play in the conference semis.

What does the Left do when all their lies are exposed?

Why they come up with MORE lies of course! The Left has tried just about every trick to spin the Trayvon Martin case into what they want it to be.

Editing the 9-11 tape? YEP, NBC took care of that

Endless race baiting? Check

Plastering what they thought was George Zimmerman’s address on Twitter? Way to go Spike Lee, you dumb ass!

Doing everything imaginable to portray Zimmerman as a racist thug? Check! Doing everything possible to paint Martin as a choirboy? Check!

Media coverage that has ignored anything that does not fit their narrative of a racist murder? Oh yes!

Throw as many racially inflammatory words and phrases around as is humanly possible? You bet!

I could go on, but you get the point. And now, that their smears have proven to be BS, what does the Left do? Invent stories about Neo-Nazis stalking Sanford, Florida apparently.

The latest wildfire spreading through the media and blogosphere is that armed neo-Nazis are patrolling Sanford, FL, in anticipation of trouble if George Zimmerman is not charged in the killing of Trayvon Martin.  In what has become a prime example of media malpractice, none of the major publications spreading the rumors bothered to check with local law enforcement.  I did, and the Sanford Police deny any indication of neo-Nazi patrols.

It all started with this blog post in The Miami New Times, Armed Neo-Nazis Now Patrolling Sanford, Say They Are “Prepared” For Post-Trayvon Martin Violence:

Neo-Nazis are currently conducting heavily armed patrols in and around Sanford, Florida and are “prepared” for violence in the case of a race riot. The patrols are to protect “white citizens in the area who are concerned for their safety” in the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting last month, says Commander Jeff Schoep of the National Socialist Movement. “We are not advocating any type of violence or attacks on anybody, but we are prepared for it,” he says. “We are not the type of white people who are going to be walked all over.”

Because nothing diffuses racial tension like gun-toting racial separatists patrolling an already on-edge community….

The patrols are comprised of between 10 and 20 locals and “volunteers” from across the state, including some from Miami, he added. He couldn’t go into specifics on what kind of firepower, exactly, the patrols had with them.

The blog post quotes someone from a supposed neo-Nazi group in Detroit, and contains photos of armed patrols not in Sanford, but in Arizona.  The author of the blog post provides no confirmation that such patrols actually are taking place.

The blog post already has generated over 1100 comments, and was picked up with reckless abandon by the usual suspects, including Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs:

Well of course Johnsom would jump all over this like a crackhead looking for their pipe. He has as much objectivity as MSNBS does. Maybe that is what CJ is hoping for? A gig on The ED Show maybe? I am sure Ed Schultz needs someone to fetch his sandwiches and dry cleaning, Johnson might be able to do those tasks.

What a pity that the Left does the same thing every time they see a tragedy that they think they can exploit. They jump on with both feet, shrieking, and screaming, doing their best to smear the Right. Then, as their false accusations are proven false, they just keep repeating the same lies, and, of course, make up new ones. Trust me folks, the Left is NEVER going to say anything about this case that does not fit their narrative. Ten years from now, the same race pimps will be telling the same lies about this case!

Ah, the aftershock of Liberal government!

One of the most destructive forces known to man is unchecked liberalism, just check out what it did for to Detroit! Check out what Mike Brownfield found.

What happens when a city buys the liberal dream hook, line and sinker? Just take a look at the City of Detroit. The once-great city lost 237,493 residents over the last decade according to the 2010 Census, bringing it to 713,777 – a population plunge of 25%. That’s its lowest population since 1910, and it marks the city’s fall from a 1950s peak of two million, over 60%. And that’s just the people who can afford to leave.

Detroit, once known as “the great arsenal of democracy,” has made headlines of late for its notorious fall from grace. The “Big Three” automakers are no longer the biggest, falling behind their overseas rivals, and the Michigan economy lost 450,000 manufacturing jobs over the past 10 years all while Detroit lost population. And while the Motor City suffers unemployment from a decimated automotive industry, it suffers crime, high taxes, poor city services, plummeting home values, and a public education system in shambles with a $327 million budget deficit and a 19 percent dropout rate. Is it any wonder people are leaving in droves?

But to understand why folks are really leaving Detroit, it’s worth looking where they’re headed. As Detroit suffered a population loss, its neighboring suburban counties with lower crime, better schools and an improving economic outlook saw their population increase. One former Detroiter told The Detroit News, “Detroit just got too messy for me … I was not getting the benefits of those tax dollars. The city services are poor and I could not use the school system. And you look at the cost of living and the corruption, we had to leave.” In other words, bad government drove her out, and she’s seeking greener pastures elsewhere.

For the record, Detroit has been under liberal leadership for decades. And the city’s big problem today is that its road forward is blocked by the very same political machine that helped deliver it to its state of ruin. Case in point: the state’s powerful teachers unions. In 2003, a philanthropist pledged $200 million for the creation of 15 charter schools in the city. Despite the city’s tragic public school system, the plan failed and the offer was withdrawn following protests by the Detroit Federation of Teachers. Little has changed, eight years later. A state-appointed emergency financial manager has proposed sweeping changes to the city’s public school system, including a plan to convert 41 of the city’s schools to charter schools. Guess who’s opposed to the reforms? That very same union.

Yes, and for further evidence of just how devastating Liberalism can be, when allowed to take root, look at what Milton Wolfe found, pictures really ARE worth a thousand words, at least!

Census: Detroit’s Population Plummets 25 Percent

Census: Detroit’s Population Plummets 25 Percent – Portland Press Herald

Hammered by the auto industry’s slump, Detroit saw its population plummet 25 percent over the past decade, according to census numbers released Tuesday that reflect the severity of an economic downturn in the only state where overall population declined.

The statistics show that the Motor City’s population fell from 951,270 in 2000 to 713,777 last year. Although a significant drop was expected, state demographer Ken Darga said the total is “considerably lower” than the Census Bureau’s estimate last year.

“That’s just incredible,” added Kurt Metzger, a demographer with a Data Driven Detroit, a nonprofit that collects statistics used by area planners. “It’s certainly the largest population loss percentage-wise that we’ve ever had in this city.”

Detroit’s population peaked at 1.8 million in 1950, when it ranked fifth nationally. But the new numbers reflect a steady downsizing of the auto industry – the city’s economic lifeblood for a century – and an exodus of many residents to the suburbs.

Mayor Dave Bing disputed the new population data and plans to appeal. He said his city has at least 750,000 residents, which he called an important threshold for qualifying for some state and federal financial programs. He didn’t say how so many people may have been missed.

City Council President Charles Pugh suggested that thousands of people “who are skeptical, distrustful of the government” avoided the count, such as convicted felons, illegal immigrants and residents who list suburban addresses to get lower car insurance.

The drop-off of more than 237,000 people in Detroit helped Michigan become the only state that suffered an overall population decline between 2000 and 2010, slipping 0.6 percent to 9,883,640. But the city, the state’s largest, was not solely responsible for the dubious distinction.

The population fell 18 percent in Flint, another city heavily dependent on the auto industry and the birthplace of General Motors. Pontiac and Saginaw, which also lost jobs in auto and parts manufacturing, dropped 12 percent and 17 percent respectively.

Nearly half of the state’s 83 counties lost residents, underscoring the ripple effect from Michigan’s reliance on the ailing manufacturing sector. Michigan has lost nearly 860,000 jobs since 2000, and its unemployment rate has long been among the nation’s highest.

“The census figures clearly show how crucial it is to reinvent Michigan,” Gov. Rick Snyder said. “It is time for all of us to realign our expectations so that they reflect today’s realities. We cannot cling to the old ways of doing business.”

Metzger, the demographer, said Detroit’s population drop partially reflects the migration of middle-class blacks to suburban counties, a trend that the mayor acknowledged. The numbers also suggest that some blacks have given up on Michigan altogether: the state’s non-Hispanic black population fell 1.8 percent, from 1,408,522 to 1,383,756.

That marks Michigan’s first drop in black residents since statehood, and a historically significant change for a state that was long a magnet for blacks leaving the South to escape discrimination and find jobs, said William Frey, a Brookings Institution demographer.

The recent housing crisis has accelerated foreclosures and driven down prices, which Metzger said has enabled more black families to buy houses in the suburbs.

“The next wave of ex-Detroiters with the same hopes and dreams has moved to the suburbs,” he said.

Altogether, Michigan’s cities lost 7 percent of their populations. Flint’s population now stands at 102,434 residents. The capital city of Lansing suffered a 4 percent drop to 114,297, and even Grand Rapids – Michigan’s second largest city, located in the less hard-hit western part of the state – was down 5 percent to 188,040.

Population increases were recorded in mostly suburban and some rural areas, the largest in counties on the fringe of metropolitan areas with large numbers of suburban commuters. Clinton County, north of Lansing, jumped 16.5 percent and Livingston County, between Detroit and Lansing, was up 15.3 percent.

Some rural areas fared badly. For example, the Upper Peninsula saw populations drop in 13 of its 15 counties, including a 13.3 percent drop – the worst statewide among counties – in far northwestern Ontonagon County.

Sharp increases were seen in Michigan’s Asian and Hispanic populations.

The non-Hispanic Asian population was 236,490, up 35 percent over the decade – Michigan’s fastest growing racial group – and now accounts for 2.4 percent of the state’s residents. The state’s Hispanic population grew by 34.7 percent, to 436,358, or 4.4 percent of the overall population.

The American Indian population inched up 1.3 percent to 54,665.

Redistribution of wealth by any other name is still, well, Marxism

Adrienne has a story about giving “free computers” to school kids in Detroit, Now, you might be thinking what is wrong with that, and you might be wondering how in the heck that helping to educate kids could have anything to do with redistributing wealth or Marxism. Adrienne explains

Remember when there was a kerfuffle about the Merion School District in Pennsylvania spying on the kids through their laptops? My first (and second, and third) thought was why the kids were given free laptops in the first place.  Some of the funds came from the district and the rest was “grant” money (which undoubtedly means the Feds chipped in.)

Now the school district in  Detroit has received $530 million from the feds with $49 million of it for computers – 40 thousand laptop computers, to be exact as well as 5 thousand desktops. This is nothing more than redistribution of wealth.  Take money from the citizens of the country and hand it out to whomever the elites wish to curry favor.

Exactly correct! This is the elites, the government, deciding how YOUR money, and MY money should be spent. And i ask you to consider this. The more money the government has, the more power they have, the more we will all be dependent upon them. How is that freedom? It is, at best nothing but semi-freedom. And that in turn is nothing better than semi-slavery. Is this how you wish to live? Do you really want government deciding how much money you “need” and how much of, again, YOUR money someone else “needs”? Are you willing to allow the government that much control  of your life and liberty?

Laura Berman, the uber-liberal Detroit News columnist who has a serious case of Palin Derangement Syndrome, is at it again. Today, she is touting the wonders of Detroit’s status as a ‘Third World’ city. She even goes as far as describing the city as having a Third World ‘Aura.’

Via The DetNews:

Tim Bryan took his company to Bangalore, India, in 2002. Now, he’s moving it into the new Third World alternative: Detroit.

At the foot of Woodward, adjacent to Campus Martius, Bryan is steadily hiring information technology professionals to work in GalaxE Systems Inc.’s new Detroit hub.

The New Jersey-based firm is leasing at least two stories of a 25-story office tower that’s otherwise almost vacant — a star-crossed building that in the 1960s was built to be the dazzling headquarters for First Federal Bank of Detroit.

GalaxE’s entry onto the scene shows how even Detroit’s notoriety can be a selling point to American companies that want to put their dollars to work in the United States. (emphasis added)

According to one of Detroit’s ‘opinion leaders’ its a great thing that Detroit is now regarded by business leaders as a ‘Third World’ destination.

It is amusing, in a very sad kind of way, to watch Libs stoop to unbelievable levels of stupidity to defend the results of Liberalism
