Baghdad on the lake

So far this year, 113 people have been killed across Chicago, the same number of U.S. troops killed in Iraq and Afghanistan combined in the same period, Fritchey said.

The really, really bad new is that the people who are in charge of solving this problem are Jeremiah Wright, Jesse Jackson, "Father" Pfleger, Joseph Lowery, Harry Belafonte, Cornel West, and Louis Farrakhan.

Heaven help Chicagoans, because they are about to see hell unleashed.

Earlier this month ABC News described efforts by Chicago residents to persuade officials to let them arm themselves against the crime wave. They are going to the US Supreme Court to force the city to let exercise their Constitutional rights. “Otis McDonald, 76, is afraid for his life in his crime-saturated Chicago neighborhood and he is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn his city’s strict ban on handguns in the home.”

...What can go wrong? What happens next? Will there soon be serious proposals to use unmanned surveillance technology in urban settings? Requests for intelligence support? Anyone who thinks this can’t happen should think again. The real price of fantasy public fixes like Green Jobs or gun control to stop drug gangs in Chicago or describing those who want to stop illegal immigration as Nazis is that, by making common sense impossible, they make the use of overwhelming stupidity inevitable. If the Republic dies it will have committed suicide. RIP, SOS. Rest in Peace, Stuck on Stupid.

Some Democrat Illinois lawmakers asked for the National Guard to be called out to quiet Chicago streets, but they can't call the Guard unless Mayor Daly asks the governor for help. In true Daly fashion, he said the Guard wasn't needed, what is needed is more gun control.

Now what was that definition of insanity again?
