“Liberal Paradise” Up in Flames
Thomas DiLorenzo
Baltimore Sun columnist Thomas Schaller, a political science professor at the University of Maryland-Baltimore County, cheerfully heralded the state of Maryland as a “liberal paradise”in 2013. Maryland is indeed by far the most left-wing state in America, a veritable showcase of the “liberal” welfare state. It has huge populations of both government employees and welfare parasites; one of the most generous welfare systems of any state; its “public” schools have long been destroyed by belligerent teachers’ unions; is a very high-tax state; routinely wages political war on whatever is left of real capitalism — its politicians proudly boast that the regulation of business is more onerous than any other state, and usually exceeds even federal regulatory dictates; and coddles criminals, endlessly repeating the “liberal” mantra that criminals are not responsible for the crimes they commit, “society” is. And of course the “war on drugs” rages in inner-city Baltimore as much as anywhere, complete with ever-increasing police brutality with an increasingly militarized and federalized police force.
As in many other cities, in Baltimore the black family has been all-but-destroyed by the welfare state (See Losing Ground by Charles Murray for an explanation of how welfare eliminated the stigma that was once attached to abandoning one’s children). The Baltimore Sun reports that, for decades, at least 80% of all black children are born without a father being a part of their life, with white families catching up rapidly. This has created several Lord-of-the-Flies generations. The rotten “public” schools in Baltimore city have destroyed the employment opportunities of tens of thousands of these children, while the war on drugs, which has caused skyrocketing drug prices and profits, lures them into lives of crime (and death by crime). All of this is a recipe for the mindless destruction of small businesses that was on display in yesterday’s riots and looting. With Al Sharpton reportedly headed to Baltimore, things are bound to get worse before they get better. No sane business person would ever invest in these neighborhoods. Once this is realized in a few years, the absence of drug stores, grocery stores, etc. will of course be blamed on the racism of white capitalists. “Paradise” will at last have been realized.

Just another excuse for the jb's to loot liquor stores.
Nothing to see here folks, move along.
Well seems i am seeing something else, with some comments, like some are saying it can be excused because they suffered.
Its not ok no matter where it comes from. Period.
Baltimore has been under unbroken liberal control for decades, as have most major U.S. urban areas.
What do you think would happen if came out that black cops were systemically abusing there position of shooting and killing white suspects illegally in arrest and is custody?
Exactly brother!
God is punishing them for giving rights and privileges to those who they should be putting to death! The word tells us to not to mingle with these demons, but liberals want to spread 'love and equality' when they should be immediately arresting and executing these 'minorities' that should be called faggots, the more we give 'minority' sympathy to them the worse we get and now we have riots from it!
Read the Word and know the Path and you will see removing faggots will put us back in line. each:
There is no systematic abuse going on. I think you're using that word without thinking through what it actually means.
Boy that post has just made me reconsider by pro life stance.
No brother, do not give into this 'minority' sympathy! Read the Word and Know His Way. Gay is wrong. each:
Your orginal post was so full of hate, misinformation, bigotry, stupidity and vileness, that my gut reaction was that the world would have been a better place if you had never entered it.
I was wrong to do so but you made me reconsider for a few seconds.
If you don't like God, America or this forum, you can leave! I do not sympathize with the minority rights that are trying to be enforced. Jesus is not pro-faggot, he made that very clear! each:
First you have been here 2 mins I don't think you run the show.
I love God that's why I violently disagree with just about everything that comes out of your mouth.
America? well like most brtis we have love hate relationship with it, but beneath all that we really do like you as a nation.
As regadrs rights i'm not sure how the baltrimore things was ever about homosexuality, i thought it was about the police breaking the law and killing black men, why are you even mentioning faggots?
On a matter of point Jesus never mentioned homosexuality once, I agree according to the bible homosexuality is a sin, but if you are going to argue about it at least know what Jesus did and didn't say.
I don't believe you speak for God or America, you speak for a bunch of insecure, hateful ,spiteful, stupid, racist people, who we unfortunately we have the whole world over.
