Here is one of the many ruined public buildings in Detroit. Rather large chunks of the city look like this. See how soon you can make your city part of Satan’s kingdom!
Detroit now has exactly what it needs, the answer to its problems, just what the doctor ordered–a nine-foot tall, one ton, bronze statue of… no, not Al Kaline…of Satan ( http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2015/07/25/group-to-unveil-satan-statue-in-detroit-during-largest-public-satanic-ceremony-in-history/ ).
Erecting a statue of Satan in a building called The Satanic Temple may seem like a jejune and sophomoric thing to do–but who better to serve Satan than jejune and sophomoric idiots?
The monstrosity was originally going to be put up in Oklahoma City, but they couldn’t swing it–although they did persuade a “judge” to ban the state capitol’s Ten Commandments monument. But it’s really much more suitable to Detroit. If you want to see what Satan’s kingdom looks like, you can’t go wrong by starting in Detroit.
The ninnies at The Satanic Temple say they are advocates for the separation of church and state. You bet they are. They are also buckling down to fight a great battle against “theocrats.” This shows how it’s a good idea to choose your battles wisely. Theocrats have absolutely no influence whatever on American culture or public policy. No risk of being defeated by them!
So, why not take a few days off to visit Detroit, groove on the lovely urban scenery, and reflect on how long it’ll take for your city to have a great big statue of Satan, too?
Did I mention Detroit is a city ruled lock, stock, and barrel by Democrats?
When I am next in Detroit I will take up your offer and visit the statue. I believe the statue is only in Detroit on a temporary basis, its final location is as yet undecided.
Obviously it’s destined for Washington, D.C.
It would look good on the White House lawn.
Such a fitting place to put a statue of Satan, in the murder capital of America.
With respect to the picture, it looks like a beautiful building to rehab from a historical preservation perspective. What were the predominant political affiliations for the owners of these abandonments? The owners are to blame for the mess, not the successive governmental administrations of the City. If we, the public, are held responsible to clean up this mess, we would have to taxed to death. Neglectful owners, and their heirs should have to pay for the rehab or the the removal of abandoned structures, even if it required liens on other properties or accounts they own until the atrocities are resolved. Somebody, at some point, had to have been very rich to have owned a building like the one you pictured. I doubt if that money disappeared with the owners’ deaths. The heirs should be held responsible. My bet is that the heirs just took the inheritance money and ran away from their responsibilities, expecting taxpayers to clean up after their mess. Doesn’t sound like you or I have done our research.
I knew it! “The rich” messed up Detroit! Now why didn’t I think of that?
