THE MORNING RANT: Where is the Conservative Alternative to the Collapse of Municipal Government?Last Wednesday, both Ace and Joe Mannix had great posts in which they sought to explain why Democrat-run municipalities are in a state of failure and collapse, especially in regards to the human-caused mass casualty event in Maui. They both had different explanations, and both of their analyses are true. As I read those two essays, it reminded me of one of my great frustrations in the current political climate – there is a crying need for “municipal conservatism.” I now stand in awe of what Rudy Giuliani did as mayor of New York City, yet at the time I was critical of him for not being conservative enough. People like me in the 1990s thought conservatism was simply “lower taxes” and “less government.” We were wrong - that’s not what New Yorkers wanted. What they did want was civil order and effective government. Rudy delivered. Let’s take a quick look at a snippet or two from Ace’s and Mannix’s pieces: “Some Thoughts on Why Leftists Can Only Destroy and Never Create” [Ace – 8/23/2023] A few days ago, I wrote that Democratic governance is willfully incompetent because they simply are not concerned about the mundane-but-crucial tasks of basic management, instead choosing to focus only on quixotic campaigns to "save the world" and "end poverty." These goals are unaccomplishable, and are stupid, but they feel like heroic causes. “Wednesday Morning Rant” [Joe Mannix – 8/23/2023] As the details about the disastrous Maui fire continue to unfold, many people are left wondering how the hell a foul-up this spectacular is possible. How did everything go so wrong at every level of the response? Why did Maui have to wait for water authorization? Why were the emergency sirens not activated? Why was traffic allegedly blocked from leaving on the only good road out? Assuming that all of what we've heard is true, how did so much go wrong? I have often described cities such as Portland and Minneapolis as being run by “Pol Pot Mayors,” that is, they are run by revolutionaries who seek to destroy all of the old order. They may talk about a utopia they are trying to create, but they are mainly just destroying their cities, intentionally, much like Pol Pot destroyed and depopulated Phnom Penh as a step in reorganizing society. Ace’s essay describes these type of Democrat-run municipalities. There is a desperate need for a new era of Rudy Giulianis. We conservatives have abandoned the cities (and that includes me) and we mock city-dwellers for not voting Republican, yet we are not making a pitch for what we can do to make cities liveable again. Here is something I wrote before, so rather than rewrite it as if it’s an original thought, I’m going to plagiarize myself, because I do want to keep making this point. Although Democrat mayors in the 20th century may have been liberal, they generally wanted their cities to be successful, prosperous, and orderly. But now we suddenly find that Democrat mayors and councils in many major cities are committed to deconstructing western civilization, and to prove their commitment they are aggressively trying to burn down their own cities and destroy all social order. It’s unthinkable, but it’s happening. [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com] | Recent Comments
