Chicago's murder numbers have hit that magic 500. Baltimore's murder toll has passed 200. In Philly, it's up to 324, the highest since 2007. In Detroit, it's approaching 400, another record. In New Orleans, it's almost at 200. New York City is down to 414 from 508. In Los Angeles, it's over 500. In St. Louis it's 113 and 130 in Oakland. It’s 121 in Memphis and 76 in Birmingham...
It isn’t the bitter gun-and-bible clingers in McCain and Romney territory who are racking up a more horrifying annual kill rate than Al Qaeda; it’s Obama’s own voting base....
Chicago’s problem isn’t guns; it’s gangs. Gun control efforts in Chicago or any other major city are doomed because gangs represent organized crime networks which stretch down to Mexico, and trying to cut off their gun supply will be as effective as trying to cut off their drug supply....
Lanza and Newtown are comforting aberrations. They allow us to take refuge in the fantasy that homicides in America are the work of the occasional serial killer...
They fool us into thinking that there is something American about our murder rate that can be traced to hunting season, patriotism and bad mothers.
America is, on a county by county basis, not a violent country, just as it, on a county by county basis, did not vote for Obama.
It is being dragged down by broken cities full of broken families whose mayors would like to trash the Bill of Rights for the entire country in the vain hope that national gun control will save their cities, even though gun control is likely to be as much help to Chicago or New Orleans as the War on Drugs.

I don’t discuss anything with liberals but that is what they would say. I’ve read enough of their delusional thinking to know what their trite replies would be.
Conformity has a firm grip.
Well, I don’t talk to very many people these days. However there are some subjects that I overhear, and have made a decision to speak up.
Like the person in our local pharmacy started complaining about the Governor taking milk out of the mouths of babies.
It wasn’t true. I happened to know that there had been no change to the WIC rules regarding milk. So I just flat out told the woman that it was not true and what the rule was.
I also pointed out that the citizens of Mo. had just voted no to a tax increase, and the legislature had to come up with a balanced budget.
I further suggested that she should write her legislators and let them know her better solution, if she had one, rather than complaining and using the Governor as a scapegoat.
This was in a room full of people-we were all waiting for our meds - sitting in chairs, and not feeling that great.
She shut up and no one else said a word.
Blessings! Good for you!
I speak up (OR) SPEAK OUT, TOO.
I’m long past sitting silently while complainers lie about their grievances.
Yep. At least a decade ago. These idiots want to spread their propaganda in public, fine - I ain’t gonna sit there and listen while they tell lies.
FAN-TAS-TIC!
I feel great after I have my say!!
I’m certain you did, too.
Yep, it’s a great stress reliever. LOL
That’s a very interesting graph. Thanks for sharing.
Your post nails it.
“I am thinking that Sweden is not a safe place these days - too many refugees.”
Thats their version of our democrat problem.
