The New York Times certainly isn't a conservative newspaper. If even they are saying Portland has become horrible, it must be worse than anybody can imagine.

As soon as you try to, you fundamentally misunderstand what makes us the greatest country on Earth.

Is it the number of children shot in schools? Or is it the wealth inequality? Or maybe our disregard for the environment? Or were you referring to our incarceration rate? Or obesity? Our homicide rate? Or is it the amount we spend on healthcare?

Few people actually want to take these steps, but they’d solve the problem fully and quickly.

Nobody wants to take those steps because studies have already shown that they are not the solution.

As far as Americans are concerned, the only proven means to kick a drug habit is to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. That has a 100% success rate, far above any other approach

That simply isn't true.
