Crime & Self-Defense: Putting The Lie to Media Propaganda

As welcome a reality check as Ben Swann’s fact checking is, with respect to gun-related crime, it doesn’t include a dose of race realism. Even liberal hypocrites know which zip codes to avoid in order to stay out of the line of fire.

Here is Ben Swann’s Reality Check, paraphrased:

First up on Swann’s list is Piers’ single most touted fact: that the UK, having banned guns 15 or so years back, suffered only 35 gun-related deaths in 2011, against 11,000 in the US. FBI crime stats reveal that, of the 12,664 homicides we had in 2011, 8,583 were gun-related.

With a population of 62.6 million, Britain in fact saw 59 gun-related homicides in 2011, and not the number Piers persistently cites. But as our fact checker points out, is it any surprise that gun-related homicides in a country that has banned guns will be lower than in one that has not effected such a ban?

The cretin’s claims (Morgan’s) for no-guns-equals-lower-crime rates dissolves. The US has the highest gun ownership rates in the world. But, despite being number one in gun ownership, the US is 28th in gun-related homicides, and has a remarkably low overall murder rate: 2.97 per 100,000.

The UK has the second highest overall crime rate in the EU, the fifth highest robbery rate, the fourth highest burglary rate. And the EU crowned Britain as the most violent country in the EU, with 2,034 violent crimes per 100,000 people.

The US has only 466 violent crimes per 100,000.

The Comfort of Strangers

Thank you all, on Facebook and beyond, for wishing me a happy birthday in so many nice ways.

These many wishes, mostly from strangers, made me think of the one and only message I took away from Gran Torino, an awfully mundane, politically correct flick, in which the white old veteran is depicted as the rank racist; his Hmong neighbors—a South-east Asian minority that contributes significantly to crime in the US—act as founts of multicultural wisdom.

Walt Kowalski, “played with grandstanding gusto and unfakeable star quality by Clint Eastwood,” is treated with callousness by his family and great kindness by the cloistered Hmong, who, paradoxically, attempt to rid the old American of his biases.

Consequently, the veteran character bequeaths his worldly goods, including his prized ride, to his Hmong friends. That made good sense to me.

So often the greatest kindness comes from unrelated strangers.

Republican Attack Dogs Go For Mitt Romney, Again

A good gauge of Republican treachery is the manner in which these drag queens of politics (no offense to drag queens) have beaten up on Mitt Romney whenever he spoke the truth.

They still do.

Romeny’s latest manifestly true words were these, via the New York Times:

In explaining his overwhelming electoral college defeat last week, Romney said Obama followed what he called the “old playbook” of seeking votes from specific interest groups, “especially the African-American community, the Hispanic community and young people,” the New York Times said. “In each case they were very generous in what they gave to those groups,” he added, according to the paper.
The question of how to appeal to the nation’s changing demographics is sensitive for Republicans, especially because Romney lost the non-white vote so badly to Obama, the nation’s first African American president.

Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, Fat Man Newt Gingrich, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez (deemed another GOP rising star), MSNBC token conservative, and “Morning Joe” co-host, Joe Scarborough: All these deeply stupid Republicans can’t quite say why Mitt Romney’s analysis of the role of the give-me constituency in his electoral loss is incorrect. All they can do is malign the man because their jobs as electable parasites hinge on maligning Mitt Romney.

Establishment Republicans make me sick: lead me to the vomitorium, please.

Joining the cobra head that rose to spit at Romney was Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. But leading the pack in puke factor was Obama’s New BFF (Best Friend Forever), New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R). No one beats that bit of human waste when it comes to political back stabbing.

As the Republican doctrine has it, it is impermissible to observe that America is riven by race and gender.

White Millennials Are Not Complete Morons

Scroll down to the “Vote by Age and Race” breakdown, on CNN. Buried in the exit poll analysis was this tidbit:

Whites aged 18-29 years backed Mitt Romney by 51 percent to 44 percent, giving the Republican candidate an 11 percent edge. (And remember that, “Ultimately, elections are about perception—the way in which the people perceive the political planks of the two parties. The American people perceive the Democratic Party as the party of entitlements. They think of the Republican Party as the party of austerity.” To the extent they cast a vote for the latter, to that extent they are against the moocher mentality.)

No longer able to ignore the differing racial voting patterns that emerged in the 2012 election, USA Today seconded the above fact in the analysis titled, “A nation moving further apart.”

“Among younger voters, African Americans and Hispanics slipped slightly in their support [for BHO]; the significant erosion was among whites under 30. In 2008, they had backed Obama by 10 points. This time, they support [sic] Romney by eight.”

The sense of loss is etched allover these fresh faces.

Oops: The most celebrated, centrally planned, multicultural mobocracy has failed. You win some you lose some, right? What’s a country between friends, hey? I hope the gamble was worth it.

My, my, and how individuals like Dick Morris muddied matters.
