Talk about elitist.
That’s 1300 flesh and blood people alive every year due to the mayor’s anti crime initiatives. Oh, but they are just New Yorkers ... so they don’t count, eh?
But, thank you for your convoluted arguments, just the same.
Well, first of all, just as you attribute others sporting an overestimate (& to a certain degree, you're right) of what a "pro-life" POTUS can do for the pre-born; in this case, you're attributing an overestimate of what one man did for NYers.
IOW, crime rates go up & down for a whole host of other reasons than crime-fighting measures by the powers that be. (I've seen more intensified measures implemented; and the crime rates still go up (go figure).
I just happen to think that we're more in line with that time in Germany where the Nazis had yet to declare war on multiple countries, but it was "open season" on Jews. [In my analogy, it's not the govt that is directly parallel to the "Nazis"...the true "powers that be" are the demonic agents of the air as described in Ephesians 6]. The Jews in our era are the pre-born. Oh, sure the govt. (like the German govt of '38 & '39) practices "law & order" on behalf of the rest of us. [Who knows, perhaps the German murder rate of non-German Jewish citizens went down by 1300 in 1938?] Somehow, I'd just don't think we'd give them an "A+" for "law & order" during the Krystalnacht era.
