More proof that Liberalism is

Damn OP, a little effort would be nice.
quote:
Crime is heavily spiking in the city of Portland. Shocking news, I know. There have been over 250 shootings so far this year. That is a drastic increase from the 111 shootings that had occurred through this same time last year. But for anyone paying attention, this isn’t surprising. It is a problem that needs to be addressed, however. Except the solution being put forward is a real head scratcher. First off, Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell is acknowledging that there is a major issue at his. “We know this work is important,” he said, via KGW. “It’s some of the most important work we do ’cause it really impacts people’s lives and safety every day.”
quote:
So what is that solution I mentioned? Well, the Portland city council has approved a $6 million plan that is designed to combat the increasing rate of shootings. Not a dime of it will go towards the city’s police bureau, though. Of that money, $4.1 million will go towards community groups for work in the neighborhoods most affected by the gun violence. Another $1.4 million will go towards “unarmed park rangers” who will be patrolling around the clock. Yes, you read that correctly. The plan includes having the good guys politely asking the bad guys to stop. What could go wrong? Unfortunately, this could cost lives before the entirety of some people’s stupidity is realized.

Liberalism has been dead for a long time.
Liberalism is (was)
Anti war
Pro markets
Pro free speech (used to be bigger advocates than the republicans)
And pro civil liberties.
There is no more liberal party. Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson have won. The progressives have won.
Rothbard was 100% spot on.
The progressives have merged corporatism with the state.
And I’m afraid we won’t ever go back.
I wish republicans would wake up and start calling for more extreme free market ideas. But there is no longer a Conservative party as well.
Lesson
READ ROTHBARD

I wouldn't say liberalism so much as leftism. Liberalism is free thought, free enterprise, civil liberties. Basically, limited government. Leftism is what is the idea that you destroy everything you don't understand or like.

Loved his work with the Allman Brothers and the Rolling Stones. It’s an odd career move to get into law enforcement at his age, but best of luck to him!

Can we just jettison the entire west coast and start over?

This is corruption at its finest. People will pocket the money and you won’t see any reduction in deaths.
That should make that the performance criteria. You don’t get paid until you show reduced crime.
