BY THEIR FRUITS SHALL YE KNOW THEM.

John Stossel brings the smack.

I laughed when I saw The Washington Post headline: "Minneapolis had progressive policies, but its economy still left black families behind."

The media are so clueless. Instead of "but," the headline should have said, "therefore," or "so, obviously."

Of course, progressive policies failed! They almost always do.

Unfortunately, True Believers, like any other faith-based community, will resist engaging the counterexamples and counter-arguments. Read the article to get a sense of the epistemic closure in the latest incarnation of Detroit. "'When socialism fails,' says [Minnesota Republican senate hopeful Jason] Lewis, 'the apologists always say, 'We just didn't do it enough, just didn't do it the right way.' (But) it's always failed.'"  All have sinned, and all have fallen short of the glory that is Social Engineering Realized.
