How many homicides are committed in Washington DC in a year?
So far, according to the police’s website, there has been 65 through May. Down 1 from last year. (why the website says -2 just proves more things)
In comparison, as of April, Omaha had 11, equal to last year.
Omaha operates under the state’s concealed-carry law. Washington DC, twice the size of Omaha, had 6 times the homicide rate. They operate under a total gun ban.
Sorry, Obama…once again, the liberal theory flies into the wall of the real.
On how many issues are the liberal intellectual ‘theories’ about how things should work fail? Gun control is but just one of those areas. But why the RNC, McCain, and those wealthy enough to be able to help them make ad buys do not act on this sort of information is beyond me. I am beginning to hark wistfully back to the days of ‘straight talking’ Ross Perot. Though I think the man was crazy, he at least put the statistics in front of people.

I’ve decided it is time for me to be even more vocal. Yes, this means I am finally enabling comments on the blog.
Due to what I have seen at other conservative blogs, I have had commenting turned off for quite a while now on this one. I did not want to sit and have to play policeman while I have other things to do. Contrary to what you may think, it was not because I did not want criticism of my views, but I want true, constructive criticism. Unfortunately, there are too many people who cannot behave rationally when it comes to the Internet.
What I am not going to promise is a more regular schedule of postings on the blog, though the comments may unintentionally do that. The last time I promised to put more comments onto the blog, it was 8 months before I started posting again.

The Democrats are about to run out of real estate. There is only a few more months of the ‘Love Guru’ influence on Obama before he has to start stating what ‘change’ he is really touting.
Those in the know realize the ‘change’ Obama is for is change towards a government more in line with that of the National Socialists. Do you really think Obama will legalize drug usage beyond medical marijuana? Do you really think Obama will stop the attacks on piracy by the RIAA and MPAA (especially considering most of the members in the sponsoring organizations of those two entities have endorsed him)? Do you actually think we’ll get out of Iraq? Do you think he will actually rescind the Patriot Act?
If you believe any of that, you had better look again at the candidates running. Obama is the candidate for those advocating a police state, not freedom. It amazes me how he can put up a smokescreen and avoid the truth like he does.
