Why Are The Most Dangerous Places All Run By Democrats?

Today at Townhall.com, Kevin McCullough asked the question Why Do Democrats Run All Of The Dangerous And Rodent Infested Cities? It is not a new question, and the answer is by now well answered, but it still bears repeating. Just as Democrats were the party of slavery, and Jim Crow, and remain the party of people like Ilhan Omar and Ms. Cortez, apparently the voters in these cities have not gotten the memo.

Rep. Cummings, while being very obsessed with Russia, seems utterly bewildered with the idea that anyone could dare question why so many billions of federal dollars flow to places like West Baltimore when they are obviously doing no good.

Look at other cities in similar dilapidation and there holds a unique truth: Democrats run them all.

How long will sewage run down the streets of San Francisco? How long will St. Louis, Detroit, and Baltimore, continue to rotate as the nation’s most dangerous crime infested metros? And how long will federal dollars keep chasing bad money with new?

McCullough thinks he knows why these things keep happening:

In my life I’ve spent multiple seasons, time, and resources going to the actual third world. The heartbreak in places like Haiti, Guatemala, Ghana and the Congo, is that they have no opportunity to make their lives better. Those economies are largely run by corrupt governments whose only ambition is to use public office to enrich themselves. A lot like Cummings, Sanders, and Pelosi have done.

Look, a congressman's salary provides a very comfortable living in Washington, DC. But no one will never get rich on it. Indeed, people are not supposed to get rich. The Founders did not intend for someone to make a career out of being in Congress. Rather, the idea was that people who had already been successful in their various fields would chose to sacrifice some time and effort to go into Congress for a term or two to keep the country running. Note that running for Congress was envisioned as a sacrifice not as a way to get rich. Today, we have too many people of limited accomplishments and average talent going into Congress to frankly take advantage of their positions for personal gain.

This needs to change.
