Just like Washington, D.C, the closer a city is located to the locus of national political power the more corrupt they will become.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Republican contribution to the slow-motion demise of America&#8217;s cities, that&#8217;s a no brainer for anyone who understands the very nature of their legislative process. \u00a0Cities are left to take care of themselves regardless of the challenges or calamities they face. \u00a0The GOP has always approached the nation&#8217;s metropolitan hubs as bastions of Democratic power and influence; therefore, they get nothing, nada, no help, financial or otherwise &#8230; just as the entire world witnessed during Hurricane Katrina in NOLA.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"article\">Giuliani: Decades of Liberal Democratic Rule Hasn&#8217;t Helped Baltimore<\/h1>\n<p>By Greg Richter<br \/>\nNEWSMAX<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14613\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/c41d3420-cd10-4ef6-8ac0-1f02dc2f9159.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14613\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14613\" src=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/c41d3420-cd10-4ef6-8ac0-1f02dc2f9159.jpg\" alt=\"Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, July 10, 2013, before the House Homeland Security Committee hearing on assessing attacks on the Homeland: From Fort Hood to Boston.

This is a Democratic city.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Democrat Martin O&#8217;Malley was the governor for eight years and mayor of Baltimore eight years before than, Giuliani noted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If those people are suffering from economic depravation, then what the heck have they done?,&#8221; he asked. &#8220;What has (Rep.) Elijah Cummings done for his city? \u2026 What kind of economic development have they done?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Democrats and left-leaning pundits have pointed to systemic racism and poverty for causing the boiling over of tensions in Baltimore and other cities as black men have died in police custody. The most recent was 25-year-old Freddie Gray in Baltimore, sparking protests and rioting.<\/p>\n<p>Giuliani blamed the problems on &#8220;very left wing policies of dependency&#8221; and leaders who &#8220;don&#8217;t do anything about the schools, let the teachers union push you around so you can&#8217;t have vouchers, don&#8217;t support charter schools, don&#8217;t move people off welfare.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; He Conveniently Ignores Republican Responsibility For Urban Decay SOTN Editor&#8217;s Note: Giuliani has pointed out the obvious by identifying the woeful neglect of 30 straight years of Democratic mayors in Baltimore. \u00a0His observation is just as relevant when evaluating &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=14612\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14612","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14612"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14612\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
