Uniformed Legislators-Serious Problem

1 Comment

congressmen/ no interest in education...

Don't think for a microsecond that our 'elected' officials are not educated in the art of politics.

Until the Islamo-Fascisti light off a nuke in Toledo they need not be concerned. Getting votes is their concern, and they are well educated in this matter.

It is safer to walk most big cities in Iraq than to wander around Philly, Dallas, Boston, New Orleans or, my favourite, Baltimore City at midnight alone. NYC has been cleaned up a bit since I used to be a peddler there in the 70s.

Note that of the top 12 cities in the US most average about 200-400 murders a year EACH and we are into our 3.5 year in Iraq with only 3000 dead. We shoot down more people in the US in a year than the terrorists do in three years!

If our politicos cannot address crime in the cites how can we expect them to address crime in Iraq??

The ugly political reality is that nobody has to sweep up for the mayhem in Baltimore any more than in Baghdad. The view here seems to be that US crime is mostly black on black and the Iraqi crimes are mostly Islam v Islam.

Now, who gets the prize for stopping crime in either place??

Baltimore City is the same kind of swamp as Baghdad.

And millions of illegal aliens pour through the borders every year. Every year. Where is the conern except for the potential votes??

There is no solution except for giving speeches and calling for more tax money to throw at the problem.

But, don't worry and just talk peace. After all, this is America and we wouldn't ever have a revolution, race riots, a civil war with 700,000 dead and 2,000,000 wounded, participate in two World Wars with millions of dead and all that.

The politicians know best. Just ask them!
