Detroit's Coon Man

In April I wrote about a story that I saw in the Detroit News about the Coon Man (Coon Hunting, A Bear Named Obama, Teleprompters, Queen Touching, and Bush Fighting Zombies), and today there was a follow up to it in the Detroit News. Here is what I wrote when the story first came out:

Next, according to the Detroit News, a new industry is starting up in Detroit, and I suspect that it actually is the fast-growing industry in the city (other than working for the government). The new industry is urban hunting and skinning. Yes, like a scene out of I Am Legend, the wilderness is retaking the city of Detroit, and the animal population is moving into areas that were once inhabited by productive men. Years of Democrat control in action!

The story in the Detroit News is the story of a young 69-year old entrepreneur, who has to supplement his Social Security checks by hunting raccoons in the city of Detroit. Apparently this guy kills coons with the help of his rifle and coon dog, butchers the meat, and sells it to local residents, and he also sells the skins- but doesn't pay taxes on these sales (must be a Democrat). The meat is not USDA approved (probably something to do with rabies), but the video about the story (go to the link for the article to watch it and howl with laughter) shows coon meat being served with liver and onions and Faygo red pop- just the way mom made it!

Today the Detroit News has a follow-up story about Detroit's Coon Man, who is busy hunting away finding meals for people for the holidays. This is great reporting, by the way, and the type of stuff that makes you want to buy a newspaper- it isn't slanted, biased, or massaged to produce some sort of political action- it is simply a great story well reported on. But as I read it, I do come to some conclusions.

After Obama and the Democrats in Congress are done with our entire nation, will it be more or less like Detroit? Will wild animals roam streets that were once filled with industrious and happy people? Will crime and corruption run rampant? Will people be forced to buy and sell goods on the black market to supplement official government welfare checks? Once Obama and the Democrats have forced cap-and-tax, nationalized healthcare, more 'stimulus' projects, and massive interest-bearing debt on our nation, will our country look more or less like Detroit?

Detroit, for those of you who do not know, is a Democrat city. They hold all the political positions in the city, and elect not just Democrats, but the most liberal Democrats that there are. So if you want to see what happens when liberal Democrats win office, look to Detroit- it is an example of what happens after years of Democrat control. Detroit not a short 50 years ago was a gleaming city of hope, progress, industry, and innovation, and after 50 years of Democrat control, it is a city where people hunt through deserted streets looking for raccoons to kill to feed hungry families.
