by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:
What did we think was going to happen? We allowed liberals to run most of our major cities for decades, and now those cities have degenerated into drug-ridden, crime-infested hellholes. Forty years ago, my elderly grandmother lived in one of those major cities, and she would take us on very long walks through the heart of her city without any concern for our safety whatsoever. And that was because the city was safe. But now everything has changed. The worst areas of our largest cities now look like something out of a post-apocalyptic horror movie on a permanent basis, and the rest of the world is laughing at us.

Needless to say, we didn’t get here by accident.
What we are currently experiencing is the inevitable result of decades of liberal policies. And when I use the term “liberal”, I am not just talking about Democrats. I personally know some Republican politicians that pretend to be “conservative” to get votes, but in reality there is very little that sets them apart from the other party.
Over time, we have allowed our politicians and our courts to push traditional American values almost completely out of public life, and that includes our system of public education.
But that doesn’t mean that our kids aren’t being taught any values at all. New “values” that are diametrically opposed to the old values are being relentlessly pushed on our children, and as a result the way that they view the world is being deeply warped.
Meanwhile, the quality of the education that our children are receiving has gone into the dumpster. At this point, a very high percentage of U.S. kids cannot even read “at a basic level of comprehension”…
About one in three children in the United States cannot read at a basic level of comprehension, according to a key national exam. The outcomes are particularly troubling for Black and Native American children, nearly half of whom score “below basic” by eighth grade.
“The kids can’t read — nobody wants to just say that,” said Kareem Weaver, an activist with the N.A.A.C.P. in Oakland, Calif., who has framed literacy as a civil rights issue and stars in a new documentary, “The Right to Read.”
Our system is producing vast numbers of young people that lack the skills necessary to function in society at even a very basic level, and they have also been endlessly indoctrinated to see the world from an extremely liberal point of view.
Of course the consequences have been absolutely horrific.
For example, just consider what has happened to the city of Philadelphia. If Benjamin Franklin could see what has happened to his once great city, I am sure that it would make him want to vomit.
In the worst areas of Philadelphia, you literally need to watch every step that you take so that you won’t step on discarded drug needles, human feces or human blood…
In fact, someone just stole approximately two million dimes from a Walmart parking lot in northeast Philadelphia…
Police are investigating after someone broke into a trailer containing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of dimes in Northeast Philadelphia.
The discovery was made around 6 a.m. Thursday in a Walmart parking lot on the 4300 block of Byberry Road.
Police on the scene say an estimated two million dimes, worth $200,000, were stolen. That’s an increase from an earlier estimate of one million dimes.
Philadelphia didn’t have to turn out this way.
But it has been run by liberals for ages.
The same thing has happened to Chicago.
Once upon a time, it was such a beautiful city, but they just kept electing one liberal after another.
In the most recent election, the citizens of Chicago kicked out Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
That was a good thing.
But then they replaced her with someone even more liberal.
