The Effectiveness of Voting with Your Feet

From The Detroit News [1]today, we get a rough idea of how left wing ideologues operate;

DETROIT — The state’s largest city has no immediate plans to stop giving favor to businesses owned by minorities and women, despite the state ban on racial and gender preferences that begins Saturday.

Detroit gives extra points to minority- and female-owned companies when assessing bids for city contracts. Those efforts to encourage diversity will continue beyond Saturday, said Matt Allen, a spokesman for Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.

The city will not be violating the state law, Allen said Thursday, because city officials believe affirmative action is a federal issue, not a state one.

And the idea that discrimination… of which this set aside is clearly an example… is not a moral one, eh?  And what of the morality, or more correctly the lack thereof, of not following the will of the voters?

And on a side note, in the same paper, we see that Michigan’s population is dropping [2], rather dramatically.  Given that people are exiting California at a similar rate, and their politics are similar in each state.. increasingly moonbat left, one might almost detect a pattern, here.

The phenomenon that we witnessed following hurricane Katrina, where most of the people from New Orleans didn’t bother going back, was about as damning a judgment against the city and state administration… all Democrats… as you could find.  Most news outlets, however didn’t bother making the connection between the two situations.  Those people who didn’t come back apparently don’t count for much.

But given what we see going on in Detroit, versus the population trends there, and what we’ve seen for many years going on in California, and the population trends there… well, it actually somebody’s going to figure out that there’s a connection between the politics and the people leaving.  The press has already tipped its hand on this; they’re not going to report on the connection between the two situations.

But one could wonder, logically, if eventually that exodus would change the politics in the affected areas, at all?  And the likely answer, is, alas, no.  Mostly, because by the time people figure out two plus two dozen equal four, all that will be left in the affected areas is the moon bats.  In short the asylum is being run by the inmates, now.
