We're a long way from Mayberry. Even in 1960, crime was starting to skyrocket. Since then, the numbers have gotten steadily worse, as the following per capita crime rates show:

If you think crime is out of control, you're right. It's just less out of control than in the 80's and 90's.

I find it statistically significant that incidences of Rape have tripled. Boy, I recall with great clarity how the liberals repeatedly told us how sexually repressed we were in the late sixties and in the seventies.

We are paying a heavy price for buying into this lie from the pit of Hell. Homosexuality is rampant. Rapes have tripled. Children born out of wedlock is 71% in minority communities.

Wow, we have made such stunning “progress”.

That’s a very deceptive set of figures. You don’t show anything between 1961 and 2011 because crime figures went way up during that time and have been declining since the 90s.
