I wish I could say you were right....but there is a permanent majority of ignorant and dependent now. There is a one-party system, and they keep a cadre of boogie men and straw women in the media as scape goats. Do not underestimate the bitter partisanship of those who are in power and wrote this story.
It is a machine. You can't beat the machine. It will be interesting to see if Slockett and his office of partisans use the same care to canvass elections.........lol, they do not. when it is to their candidate's advantage to have "looser" control and integrity with elections.
It is hard to armchair the performance of the Partisans because who knows what alternatives would have achieved. I do know why people are partisan in this county: Misguided social issue warfare that is contrived and wedged upon us, ancestral ignorance, suprising amount of over-educated and under-informed voters, and being cocktail party fashionable.
Actually, I mock the "social science" degree'd paper-wasters, but I must mock myself even more as they probably will ascend to tenure at some university, college, community college or other untouchable education industry stronghold. Great pay, recession-proof, great benefits with long vacations and TIACREFF(google that little scam they got going in Iowa). Send your children away to most colleges and you are rolling the dice that these types won't convert them to tatoos on the neck, gauged-eared rebels without clues.
Tomper, why even get a degree beyond the minimal one it takes you to get a position with a government-employee-union bargaining unit. Unless you are uber-rich, that is where the next layer of security is going to be in New America.
Should I be a Sociology major or an Anthropology major?
Why on earth would anyone give you a negative for that post? Yet, they did. The internet is full of salaried propagandists trying to affect public opinion I tell you! War Room politics 24/7.
On a sincere note, I am sure Mr. Culver Senior feels the way he does, but he helped create the Federal/State/Local trickle-down bureaucracy that is incrementally changing America into some second-rate oligarchy of wonks.
Are they safe for texting at 80mph?
nobody is going to get their legs cut off in November....If sheeple were not awake to this before, it isn't going to make a difference now. They have achieved a permanent majority of ignorant and government dependent. Our government policies and preoccupations are totally unsustainable...yet look at this board, rife with concern over stupid social red herrings and bitter partisan hackery. The Chinese and others who do not have this nation's best interests will pull the financial rug out in sudden and transformative fashion.
Greek riots and worse coming to an urban area in America soon.
You get it dusty. The partisans who do not understand we have entered an era where unsustainable revenue extraction by government will have a reckoning. This is what over-centralization of government has brought. Very UN-American. People spend millions of dollars chasing and "grant writing" to get a few million more of somebody else's money, and then nobody rolls up their sleeves to fix any problems or get any work done for fear of bureaucratic retribution.....but our populist politicians want to get the plebs excited about race and other victim-status so-called rights all the time.
Why must the Gazette offer up a photo op of a politician--of any party--with furrowed brow acting concerned for the latest disaster? Is this a Federal problem? Our reporters dutifully report everything as if they are Federal concerns...they are just printing money for food stamps, obesity advertising awareness campaigns, Census advertising awareness campaigns, roads, potholes, student loans. Could many issues--like floods-- be handled better in a different jurisdiction? Ask anyone in CR. Nero is fiddling and Louis XVIII has got the cowbell. And yes, I expect a -15 points by ignorant partisans within 24 hours.
You must have been watching those "Baby Einstein" videos that were proven so successful. I hope they show them at our new mandated 4year-old pre-K centers.
Prediction 4 years for now: "We MUST have preschool for 3 year olds! Our nation depends upon it to compete in the world economy! What, you are against "education"???? Crucify him!!!!"
