Detroit’s Liberal Nightmare

Heritage  "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 Despite the city’s tragic public school system, the plan failed and the offer was withdrawn following protests by the Detroit Federation of Teachers.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." Obama's base of support. How can the African-American population continue to support a party that has been so instrumental in perpetuating this wretched state of affairs?

Many have seen this photo comparison of Hiroshima to Detroit, but if you haven't, you should. This one comes from Free Republic.
