The Democrats and Their Prophetic Failure. Again. - American Thinker

The Democrats and Their Prophetic Failure. Again. - American Thinker
"It was only last October that I diagnosed the Democrats as suffering from “prophetic failure.” 
That’s what happens when the prophecies of a religious cult fail to turn up on cue. 
Image result for Prophetic Failure...These are not the actions of a cunning political party carefully plotting how to win 51 percent of the vote at the next election. 
These are the desperate actions of a religious cult traumatized by the failure of prophecy. 
And never mind the science! 

  • That mucking around with the labor market hurts people at the bottom. 
  • That rifles are not a major cause of gun deaths. 
  • That “broken windows” policing broke the crime wave in New York City.
Here’s an example of how bad things are: a new fully-qualified high-school English teacher who’s quit teaching, after one quarter of full-time teaching. 
She “loved teaching English and engaging with students,” but...
From Quillette:
But nationwide, issues like administrative lack of support and incompetence, overwhelming class size, burdensome paperwork, and disciplinary issues overshadow the joys of teaching and make public schools intolerable places to build a career.
So what are our liberal friends doing about this? 
They are gutting school discipline, because racism. 
So education is going to get worse, a lot worse, before it gets better.
At least when you are a conservative you do not get to live in a cocoon where nobody is allowed to criticize you.
It’s the old problem. 
What do you do about a crazy religious cult convinced that the rest of the world is evil?"
