DEMOCRATS NEED TO READ THIS

December 28, 2016 |26 Comments

In the United States, the ideological differences between conservatives and liberals often boils down to one major difference.

Conservatives value facts, while liberals value feelings.

So we ask Democrats: Please, for once, just look at the hard data. Democrat and liberal policies aren’t just worrisome — they’re dangerous.
Simply look at what is happening in Democrat-run cities across the country. Detroit, Baltimore, Washington D.C., and Chicago all have massive drug and violence problems — and they’re spreading to other blue areas around the country.

According to Fox News, “San Francisco is earning a growing reputation for more than just its unmatched tech sector – for critics, the city stands as a profound example of the damage ultra-liberal policies can do.”

“After 20 years of envelope-pushing changes to grow government and ease law enforcement, the once-shining City by the Bay has turned into a place where:

•Property crime runs amok
•An online map is needed to track human feces on city streets
•Discarded syringes are common sightings
•Public urination is so widespread it has damaged subway elevators and escalators, building walls and power poles.”

The further left you go, the worse things get. In socialist Venezuela — whose leftist policies Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has praised — the starvation epidemic is so bad, the military has been reduced to food traffickers

“When hunger drew tens of thousands of Venezuelans to the streets in protest last summer, President Nicolas Maduro turned to the military to manage the country’s diminished food supply, putting generals in charge of everything from butter to rice. But instead of fighting hunger, the military is making money from it, an Associated Press investigation shows. That’s what grocer Jose Campos found when he ran out of pantry staples this year. In the middle of the night, he would travel to an illegal market run by the military to buy pallets of corn flour — at 100 times the government-set price,” the AP wrote Tuesday.

So we ask liberals — please, disregard your feelings for once, and look at the facts.

Liberal policies hurt the poor they’re designed to help.
