The electorate has been described by our leaders as a "basket of deplorables", "garbage" and "scoundrels". Besides that, they do truly care.
Trust me when I tell you that this is the prevailing attitude among a majority of our political leaders. Dat's why they call them the "Elite" don't you know.
When the Chicago Police or Matt O'Shea's website sends out a crime alert, what its really saying beyond the "be aware" message is that the Chicago Police don't have the manpower to effectively respond to everything that's going on in Chicago and in the 19th ward in particular. Every month or so the media will report on the percentage of unsolved homicides in Chicago. Those figures of crimes solved are plummeting. Adding to the problem is the current administrations pandering to the black community. If the mayor or the police superintendent would show a little backbone, and cite the real reasons for skyrocketing crime progress could be made. Its like standing in an elevator and somebody shits their pants and you look around and say something like, "Geez, they sure don't make these elevators like they used to" instead of confronting the offending pooper.
And in the current climate of media assisted claims of racism, politicians are afraid of offending that segment of the voting public for fear of being voted out because these segments of our citizenry can't accept the responsibility for what they've brought into the world. Ironically, the person who seems to have the best handle on addressing this situation is none other than Louis Farrakhan. In his addresses before the nation of Islam he cites the lack of respect for women, the number of fatherless families, the lack of taking responsibility for their own actions and the self centered attitudes of play over work. On that score, I have to agree with Farrakhan, even though the rest of his diatribe is usually racially tinged bullshit.
So with the election season gearing up all the would be candidates are talking up law and order while the mayor for the past four years has been throwing the CPD under the bus. Meanwhile, the county's social worker in chief, AKA the Sheriff, still feels he's smarter than everyone else ever to hold the office and wants to empty the jails under the premise that all of its occupants are mentally ill instead of criminally inclined.
The end result of all of this is a continual downward spiral of a diminishing tax base as more and more Chicagoans head for other parts of the country. Way to go guys!
