Crime and Liberalism
Posted by Moonage on 16 Aug 2005 | Tagged as: Comments from the Host, National Politics
This one has been touched on by others. Borrowing from two previous posts, I have combined the Liberal City index again, this time with safest and most dangerous places to live index. This is what comes out:
| Safest 10: | Most Dangerous 10: | ||||
| 1 | San Jose, CA | 74 | 1 | Detroit, MI | 1 |
| 2 | El Paso, TX | 116 | 2 | Washington, DC | 4 |
| 3 | Honolulu, HI | 146 | 3 | Baltimore, MD | 14 |
| 4 | Austin, TX | 93 | 4 | Memphis, TN | 39 |
| 5 | New York, NY | 21 | 5 | Dallas, TX | 32 |
| 6 | Louisville, KY | 151 | 6 | Philadelphia, PA | 18 |
| 7 | San Diego, CA | 119 | 7 | Columbus, OH | 78 |
| 8 | San Antonio, TX | 175 | 8 | Nashville, TN | 121 |
| 9 | San Francisco, CA | 9 | 9 | Houston, TX | 177 |
| 10 | Fort Worth, TX | 163 | 10 | Phoenix, AZ | 172 |
Liberals have a stranglehold on the most crime ridden societies in the US. The mid-point is about 119. Nashville barely qualifies as a conservative town. Houston and Phoenix are more conservative than liberal. But, Detroit not only ranks as the most violent city in the US, it’s also the most liberal city in the country as well. The second most dangerous place to live is the fourth most liberal. The third most dangerous is the 14th most liberal. The shining example for the liberals is San Francisco coming in as the ninth safest place to live, and the ninth most liberal. Although New York City fairs pretty well, they’re trumped by Detroit, Washington and Baltimore. If you crunch numbers even more, you’ll find that of the safest cities, the conservative cities averaged 150, the liberal cities averaged 62. Basically, the safe conservative cities were pretty conservative. The safe liberal cities were not all that liberal. If you do the same for the dangerous cities, the conservative dangerous cities averaged 157, the liberal dangerous cities averaged 27. Basically, the conservative dangerous cities were not terribly conservative, and, the liberal dangerous cities were very liberal.
I hope the message is pretty obvious: Don’t be liberal with the law.

Keep drinking your own cool-aid, skippy. Too bad I wasted 30 seconds of my life on your sophomoric blather.

See previous post on Dense voters. The ACLU would have the inmates running the asylum if we let them. Time to get some real lawyers to fight back and take control of the ACLU pursestrings. We need to put an end to this madness and do it by beating the ACLU at its own game.
I would like to see some posts from a few attorneys on this one.

Well, Hank, there’s a lot of content there. Shame you don’t see it. For instance, is there truly a connection between extreme liberalism and crime? Is it just a coincedence that the most violent cities are the most liberal? Is it a clue that very liberal policies don’t work? I mean, this could be a very deep discussion. But, you’ve missed it all. All I’m doing is tossing concepts out there. Hopefully others will think instead of reacting.

Blacks have brains that are on average 4 cubic inches smaller in size than white brains.

What a jackass! This is not a black or white issue. This is a crime issue. New York City is a perfect example. New York State has what are known as the Rockerfeller Laws which mandate mandatory minimum sentencing for drug convictions. New York is basically a liberal city but is limited by strict conservative law enforcement, hence the lower crime rate. Having a brain that on average is 4 cubic inches bigger is useless if you don’t use it.I do not beleive there is such a thing as scientific proof of brain size relative to the color of ones skin, however; if there is, you have made the perfect argument as to why it doesn’t make a bit of difference.

Hmmm. Being as the cognitive process only uses a small fraction of the brain itself, what does that prove?
