Hard to argue with facts like that. I am sure some idiot liberal will, however.

Blacks are 15x more likely to commit a violent crime with a gun. Obama and the libs refuse to talk about that. It could be a moral issue?

[Huskrrrr]

Wow, the population of Chicago has decreased. It used to be the second largest city.

Gotta get this publication broadcasted. Good stuff. Especially if you had more similar examples and found the reverse to be almost non existent. Would take some in-depth research, but if most/all comparisons of most/all major cities/areas came up with similar results, that would merit bona-fide broadcasting in major media, at least Fox News and comparable publications.

If Houston ousts the liberal sodomite mayor, the homicide rate would be even lower. Mayor Annise Parker is lowlife scum. Although born in Texas, she embraces none of our values: Christianity, Conservatism, pro-life, pro-gun, pro-military and anti-homosexuality.

Dr. Pepper instead of Dairy Queen?

[re_nortex]

(DP - that's what I like about Texas) = Death Penalty - that's (among the many things) I like about Texas. I'd like to see "Old Sparky" brought back and get it running 24/7 to delete the scum from the Lone Star state:

Then who voted her in? Were they transplants? And where did she get her leftist values?

I’m in AZ and we have Tucson to contend with so I feel your pain. It helps to live outside the city limits.

Then who voted her [Annise Parker] in? Were they transplants? And where did she get her leftist values?

Even here in Texas, like Arizona, the cities are overrun with criminal invaders from Mexico. The well-known election fraud cases enables these pro-abortion, pro-sodomy candidates to win. Fortunately real Texans still control the suburbs and rural areas. Like everywhere else, urban areas are the home of thugs, abortionists, sodomites and other such liberals.

There's also a large mooselimb community in Houston. The nice areas are places like The Woodlands where Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz spoke to a tremendous crowd of Patriots just a couple years ago. Places such as that are were genuine Texas values are strong.

I grew up in NYC, ca 1948. The state once sent around a large tractor-trailer-type truck that had a copy of The Chair used at Sing Sing set up in the middle. It would arrive in the neighborhood with some fanfare and the parents made all their kids go through it.

While they didn’t strap you in or put the beanie on your head, you did have to sit in it. It was one Helluva experience which even sobered up the tough guys.

That was my epiphany. In later life, when I heard arguments against the death penalty and the “it doesn’t deter crime” B/S came up, I’d tell people how us kids felt after a trip through the truck.

You knew you were up against a stone wall when you heard “That’s Cruel!”, or the piece-de-resistance, “Well, THAT’s just YOUR opinion!”.

After Anise Porker was elected, she was photographed with lots of people wearing SEIU t-shirts on. Probably lots of multiple voting and lots of homeless types voting multiple times. She is a democrat, so cheating is expected.
And she has a same mindset city council, so no one accused anyone of wrongdoing. She is not alone though, because Houston has had a run of real winners as mayor.
Hence the growth of communities in the outlying area of Houston. There are communities to the west and North that contain LOTS of former Houstonions. Their communities are run by right thinking people for the most part.

Well, like Ron White said, Texas is a death penalty state...

We have an “express lane” on our death row...

[re_nortex]

Well, like Ron White said, Texas is a death penalty state...

That's among the numerous reasons why the Lone Star state is such a great place. Murderers will be eliminated, not nearly fast enough, IMHO, but eliminated they will be. That's the ultimate deterrent. One noteworthy data point is to compare these maps. The states under the tyranny of union mobsters have outlawed the death penalty. Liberalism, unionism, abortionism and opposing the death penalty go hand in hand.

[stevie_d_64]

Good stuff!!!

“Liberalism, unionism, abortionism and opposing the death penalty go hand in hand.”

You know, it kinda goes with the idea I have that states that “allow” its citizens the right to defend themselves with the use of deadly force to stop an imminent threat against themselves or others, the act of deadly force being a serious issue people need to fully understand and be comfortable in its use, when and if the threat manifests itself against that person...

Those states (and citizens) that understand that to take a life to protect a life, is the cost of that responsibility...

That that graphic you posted tells a lot about how regional our rights are when it comes to the protection of INNOCENT life...(i.e.: abortion, concealed or other “firearm” carry laws)...
