I have written about Detroit’s sad state of affairs for a
long time now; about its racism, about the total incompetence and corruption of
its leadership and about the total arrogance of so called Baptist pastors
(everyone is a reverend of some sort) that keep preaching that the appointment
of an emergency manager to get the city out of its fiscal mess is somehow
depriving them of their civil rights.
Our governor is a little scared to do what is fiscally
responsible because of his fear that the radical racists in the city will riot;
making this a strictly race issue and making him into a racist overseer or
plantation owner; yes, that is exactly how some see the situation.
Let me state that the people playing the race card and
trying to create a lynch mob mentality in Detroit
are in a minority albeit a very vocal minority; they are on the news every day.
Responsible individuals in Detroit, together with the media,
know what has to be done to restore the city to a viable position and build
from there, are 100% behind what the governor is trying to do BUT for the
governor to truly escape being politically tainted by a racial label, he needs
to let the city go BANKRUPT.
In this way, all the idiots that are screaming against the
appointment of an emergency manager will be digging their own graves. The city
will be dismembered by a judge who will sell all assets to pay the city’s
bills. He will terminate all union contracts and lay off all workers to save
money; services for the residents will be nonexistent but they have been that
way for years.
I feel bad for Detroiters who represent the silent majority
because they are the ones that will suffer the consequences of their
incompetent leadership; leading with emotion and not brains.
I urge our governor to just wash his hands and allow Detroit to commit suicide;
there will be a lesson in that move, one that we all will learn from.
But alas, I hear the governor will appoint an emergency
manager tomorrow (Friday 29th). Ironically, Pope Benedict just
resigned and an emergency manager pope will be appointed to fix the mess
Catholicism is in.
I hope Governor Snyder appoints someone from out of state
with a thick skin, commanding presence, financial smarts and diplomatic savvy;
he or she will need all the tools they can muster and bring to the table.
