Charlotte Consumed by a Virulent Strain of Libtardism





Southerners are well aware of kudzu. This parasitic plant is a real life version of the Blob; it consumes everything that gets in its way. When I drive down a country road and see nothing but kudzu, I can’t help but think about progressives and their constant screwups. It was a New Deal program that spread alien seedlings throughout the South in an attempt to curtail erosion. Now look at what we got: another good intention gone bad.


The Charlotte/Mecklenburg County primaries are another example of a creeping, invasive species. This was the first time in years I didn’t vote. I woke up one morning and found out progressivism has spread throughout the city strangling the life out of all common sense. Even reasonable Democrats were thrown out of office.


Mecklenburg County Sheriff Irwin Carmichael didn’t survive his party’s virulent strain of libtardism. This incumbent believed in the rule of law and the safety of the community. He did a good job. But that’s not good enough for the virtue signalers in this one-party town.


The overwhelming majority of Democrats, including the new sheriff, declared they want to put an end to 287(g). This program established a partnership with ICE and the Sheriff’s Department in helping to get rid of criminal, illegal aliens. You would think citizens would want to get rid of foreign criminals; not if you’re a Democrat. Here is an excerpt from the Charlotte Observer:


The sheriff's primary race attracted national attention as a referendum on immigration, because the candidates were split on the jail's controversial 287(g) program.


Carmichael has supported the program, which involves screening everyone arrested in the county to see whether they are here illegally. Under the program, an arrest can send people without documentation into deportation proceedings — whether they've been charged with a violent crime or a minor offense.


Fewer than 60 jurisdictions in the United States participate in 287(g), which has been used in Mecklenburg County since 2006. More than 15,000 people have been processed for deportation after an arrest in Mecklenburg County since the program began
.


The decision to get rid of this program has rendered Charlotte a de facto sanctuary city. Welcome to Libtardville, everybody!


I happened to listen to Governor Pat McCrory’s radio program yesterday morning. He made an interesting observation: Charlotte has become a segregated city. What he meant by that is citizens are separating themselves based on political ideology. I can say without hesitation my area has been consumed by a kudzu-esqe strain of liberalism that I want nothing to do with. Worse, I don’t believe Charlotte can get rid of this invasive, anti-American ideology.
