Imagine a world without Democrats?

Imagine a world without Democrats.

Detroit -- an industrial powerhouse, building the best cars in the world, exported to all ends of the earth, with American quality second to none.

Chicago -- widely renowned for its safe streets and squeeky-clean politics.

San Francisco -- an ideal place for young families to raise their children with good morals and values

Berkeley -- an American flag on every street corner, the most patriotic people in the country

New Orleans -- widely renowned for competent city government

Washington D.C. -- clean streets, clean government, pro-business policies

Discuss.

 

Laughable!

Utter rubbish.

 

Name one thing other then boomerangs you make better then us Aussie.

 

Do Blackrook's threads always boil down to "Democrats = Satan-spawned scum of humanity"/"Republicans = saints of all saints"? Time to put this guy on ignore. His entire premise is garbage.

 

Discuss your dilusional state of mind? Oh, sorry, the nonsense you posted.

USA wars in all ME countries.

No regulation on industry, cases of respiratory problems skyrocket. Cases of industrial accidents skyrocket.

USA wars in Sth America

USA becomes a true christian nation, all other religions, banned.

Gun ownership mandatory in schools, 9 year olds caught in gun fights with real guns over arguments on who's turn it was to go in the swings.

Industrialisation of all America's natural parks, tourism drops significantly.

And on and on and on...

 

Detroit was an industrial powerhouse building the best cars on the road when they had their last Republican mayor and George Romney was in the shop. That is a win, that is exactly how the Republicans left it when Jerome Cavanuagh took over Detroit and passed sweeping liberal polices and legislation that solved the racial divide so well it caused a race riot, (the first the city had seen) in 6 years and a precipitous decline in population.

San Francisco - The last Republican left it in 1964, it was already a powerhouse of business attracting the wealthy and the adventurous. It had little debt and strong city finances. Housing was affordable to the middle class. Today, it has mounting debt despite high taxes, and a wealthy tax base. The middle class is fleeing to TX, as housing prices have gone out of control due to restrictive leftist housing policies.

Berkeley- Had Republican mayors until the late 70s. Eh...there biggest hippie days were under Republicans. It would probably just be safer then it is now. They are in the bottom 6% of safe towns now. Lots of rape there per capita, and lots of break ins. Many college towns have that though unfortunately, so I am going to call - "not much change" here. The school is a problem, and the mayor has no control over it. http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ca/berkeley/crime/

New Orleans - Has been Democrat since 1872. If it was Republican run it probably wouldnt be renown at all. It would be a sleepy fishing community about 20 miles downhill from a city, because after all to locate it in a flooding area is a bad idea.

Washington DC - How are you going to keep that place clean with the crime wave that migrates there during every session?

 

That's strange, where did the OP mention Australia and Australian products? The argument is Detroit building the best cars in the world. Still laughable.

 

You picked on American products, you get it back at you. Those are the rules. It isn't so laughable when the tables are reversed, is it?

What did you think about my other post, the brilliant one?

 

Detroit does not make the best cars in the world. The American car industry is heading down the same path as the British car industry in the 1970s. End of story.

 

It use to when republicans ran the town. That is the story of this thread. Also we sell more cars then anyone else and Detroit is the leading auto city still. So there is that to contend with.

What you should have said was "reliable financial assets" and thrown the recent global recession back at me. That would have been better.


Maybe the unions will kill Detroit liked they killed the UK car industry but there is right to work legislation passed now in MI. Maybe the culture will change. It is ripe for reform.

 

Selling the most of something doesn't make it the best.

 

According to the people who drive them it does. Who are you to decide?

Do we have to cater to the small low profit luxury car industry? Racing too? You can't go over 70 in most of this country and not over 80 anywhere I know of. We don't make toys, we make the most popular cars and trucks in the world.

 

Those are the rules for 12 year olds dude. And he's correct. American cars the best in the world? Sweet mother of god that's laughable.

 

American's predominently buy them... predoninently rednecks.

Educate yourself. You are lying out your arse atm.

 

Then why are Japanese models outselling American models in America's backyard?

 

A one-party state? No need to imagine....Russia had one for 70 years, Germany for 10.

 

Bush mused about how easy it would all be if he was a dictator...

 

A world without Democrats:

no more unions.

no more environmental regulations.

no more child labor laws.

no more voting rights for blacks, minorities, and women.

segregation is legal again.

even the smallest crimes get the death penalty or life in prison.

Christianity is the state religion.

Islam is outlawed in the USA.

Israel is declared the 51st State.

 

Only since they opened up factories in the south.

 

Sounds good, except we are the party of religious freedom and we are the party that ended segregation and legal racial discrimination. There has never been a time in American history that democrats didn't support laws that discriminate based on race. The opposite can be said of republicans.

 

So you find the truth offensive or what?

Why do you even care, its not like you believe in god, saints or even satan?

Ya know things could be different if maybe democrats didnt constantly insist on slaughtering the unborn, and letting pedophiles outta prison for "good behavior"

 

Republicans are now the racists in government and society.

They are the ones who want to roll back the Voting Rights Act and Civil Rights Act.

Republicans have taken over what CONSERVATIVE Democrats started in 1890.

 

Thats completely false. Republicans are the party of Lincoln, and MLK.

 

That is not true at all though of course. Name the year the republicans advocated legislation that treated people differently based on race. Then try to name the year the democrats didn't support discriminatory legislation. If you can't, then it seems the republicans haven't changed an the democrats still are diving the nation based on skin color.

I await those years. If you can't find them you should just drop it and admit the democrat party legislates based on skin color and the republican party does not

 

Martin Luther King wasn't a Republican.

...and Republicans hated having a holiday for MLK:

Senators Jesse Helms and John Porter East (both North Carolina Republicans) led opposition to the bill and questioned whether King was important enough to receive such an honor. Helms criticized King's opposition to the Vietnam War and accused him of espousing "action-oriented Marxism".[7] Helms led a filibuster against the bill and on October 3, 1983, submitted a 300-page document to the Senate alleging that King had associations with communists. New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan declared the document a "packet of filth", threw it on the Senate floor and stomped on it.[8][9]

President Ronald Reagan originally opposed the holiday, citing cost concerns.[7] He grudgingly signed the measure only after Congress passed it with an overwhelming veto-proof majority (338 to 90 in the House of Representatives and 78 to 22 in the Senate).[citation needed] Reagan earlier said that he would do so because "Congress seemed bent on making it a national holiday."[10]

Sen. John McCain (Republican of Arizona) voted against the creation of the holiday to honor King, and later defended Arizona Republican Governor Evan Mecham's rescission of the state holiday in honor of King created by his Democratic predecessor
