My answer to a suburban culture warrior

Today some nobody on some right-wing blog posted a self-righteous rant titled "Why liberals insist living in our cities is better and safer than suburban living."

My answer: Because living in a city really is better and safer than suburban living. Most Americans agree, and that's why they're moving back to the cities.

Cities work. Corrupt statewide political machines do not. Period. Full stop. End of story.

However, I must give that blog credit for providing a treasure trove of right-wing hilarity that can be easily countered just by changing each instance of "liberal" to "conservative." On the down side, their blog is full of pop-up ads.

In the meantime, I plan on going to the Take Back Your Power rally at Cincinnati City Hall on June 12 that urges cities to reclaim the power that's been robbed from them by the fascist Right. Right-wing control freaks like to talk about "states' rights", but I think it's time for cities' rights.
