Who Is To Blame

John Nolte, writing at Breitbart Big Government about the troubles in Baltimore, makes an interesting point about who is to blame:

Baltimore is not America’s problem or shame. That failed city is solely and completely a Democrat problem. (snip) Democrats and their union pals have had carte blanche to inflict their ideas and policies on Baltimore since 1967, the last time there was a Republican Mayor.

In 2012, after four years of his own failed policies, President Obama won a whopping 87.4% of the Baltimore City vote. Democrats run the city of Baltimore, the unions, the schools, and, yes, the police force.

Every single member of the Baltimore city council is a Democrat.

After Democrat policies result in despair and anarchy, Democrats always demand more of the same, only bigger.

And the media goes right along.

And things only get worse.

You can't say fairer than that, Democrats. It all happened on your watch. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.

Meanwhile, writing at City Journal, Matthew Hennessey suggests a solution:

In so much as anyone in Baltimore is angry at the “system,” they should direct their rage where it belongs—an unbroken, five-decade string of one-party rule in the city and a national War on Poverty that has systematically dismantled the black family. 

That will never happen, it's too sensible.
