"While most of the country is trying to straighten itself out after the socialist gymnastics Obama put us through the past eight years, not Minneapolis. Nope. They are going the other direction. If anything, Obama was too tepid for them."
Great article in the local paper this morning. Was it some new truism? Something horribly profound? Not a bit. It was an article which reiterates what most of us already know. In an increasingly red Minnesota, we still have a bright island of blue. Or putting it another way, we have a big group of later day hippies who still don't "get it".
Who am I talking about. Why the Twin Cities of course! In particular, Minneapolis. This is the group of nincompoops who are keeping this state "blue" on the electoral map. Yes, there is that many of these progressives/socialists/commies who live in the inner city. How bad is it really? The article in the paper said in Minneapolis these days, there is the Left and the much further Left than Left. Republicans are banished from any elected position. In other words, it is hopeless.
While most of the country is trying to straighten itself out after the socialist gymnastics Obama put us through the past eight years, not Minneapolis. Nope. They are going the other direction. If anything, Obama was too tepid for them. A reconstituted Karl Marx would have been much better, thank you. So the battle lines have already started to form for the next Minneapolis City Council race. It will be those who are navy blue, against those who are florescent blue.
Besides the Minneapolis City Council race, I am going to be particularly interested in seeing who will replace Keith Ellison, should he be selected to head the DNC. Right now (according to the pundits), Keith has the upper hand. Congressional District 5 (which Keith represents), is right in the heart of the beast. I look for the next Democrat who represents that seat (remember - Republicans like hen's teeth in that area), to be even more progressive.
People I have run into who live outside Minnesota, and who have not consumed the "bath water", ask me a similar question - "What the hell has happened to the Twin Cities?" As much as I would like to give some scholarly answer to that vexing question, I am stumped. The once fine metro has turned into a cauldron of commies. A cesspool of socialism. A pigsty of progressive nonsense.
One final word before I go watch college bowl games. Many of the ill informed who live in Minneapolis have a seething hatred for "Big Business". They want to punish business - end any corporate welfare. Stick them with $15/hour, more regulations and mandatory sick and maternity leave. What they don't realize is simply this. "Big business" can leave - and many have. It often times takes a bit of "corporate welfare" to lure a business into this expensive city. And the Lefties in Minneapolis are forgetting one vital fact. Driving out "Big Business" is cutting off your nose despite your face.
To the poor people who are stuck in Minneapolis and do not believe in this socialistic dribble, you have our sympathy. I would like to say things will get better, but they will not. That is, until you can turn your deep blue into at least a light purple.
