Democrats destroy whatever they touch.

Liberals say they want ‘livable’ cities, but their policies produce high taxes, crime and chaos.

New York is the backdrop for famous holiday films such as “Miracle on 34th Street,” “Home Alone 2” and “Elf.” This year came a less felicitous kind when a video appeared of a woman burning to death on the subway while the man who lit her on fire fanned the flames. It was a nightmare before Christmas.

The video ignited conversation at my family’s table and doubtless many others. What happened? On Dec. 22, a 33-year-old undocumented immigrant from Guatemala allegedly lit the sleeping subway rider on fire. Police identified his most recent address as a homeless shelter in Brooklyn for men with substance-abuse problems.

The video is a snapshot of the city’s problems: crime, mentally deranged and intoxicated vagrants, undocumented migrants and unsafe subways. It’s also an apt metaphor for the destruction of the Big Apple and of other once-great cities by progressive arsonists.
