Savagery, the new American norm

Nope, its based on reality. Nothing you posted changed reality.

Unknown to you is that what is more correct is that reality didn't change for you. Reality is that Democrats lost the election....the opposition won.
Largely over anti-American ideals such as expressed by Obama in the video.

A trademark of a propagandist is their constant use of one liners without any evidence. Cutesy punch lines, Jon Stewart....sometimes humorous, but content less.
I posted links and commentary.
Evidence to at least back my POV...right or wrong. You posted nothing but self assured pats on your own back.

You are so clearly willfully ignoring the context and the substance of the interview.
And this probably won't help you see reality any better....but it may be helpful to those willing to open their eyes.

One last chance for you to get an understanding of the video....from an unbiased, common sense point of view.....
About that video of Obama encouraging illegal immigrants to vote? « Hot Air
 
The claim is true. Again, denial doesn't change anything.
I have read the liberal / Progressive attempts to "explain" some other meaning to what he said.

However, the larger context is that Obama has absolutely encouraged illegal immigration over his 8 years. He has not only encouraged it, he has protected it.
Do your own research if truth matters to you.

In the context of his overall actions, it becomes clear that not only would he say this......he did.

The assumption that Obama and the Democrats have not harmed this nation is both naive and misguided, but also evidenced in the fact that Americans came out against Democrats in November for exactly these reasons.

Where did I mention Obama to you? Seems you are having trouble controlling your partisan hyperbolic dishonest meltdowns and strawmen. I guess Ill just repeat my original text which is supported by facts.

it's neither a right or left issue, its a media issue and how media is now all about ratings 1 and everything else including honesty is second. As for "savagery" violent crime is down in the US and has been going down for a while. Your whole post is based on a falsehood.
 
Seems every time you read or watch the news, another example of savagery is exposed.
From brutal murders, to the knockout "game", to kidnapping to road rage to gun toting thugs posing as UPS drivers to rob people.
From a standpoint of left vs right, is this a more a result of leftist policies or right wing policies and why?

My opinion is that nearly all of it is a result of left wing policies that cater to bigger more intrusive government and the left's apparent propensity to maliciously and recklessly gain power and retain power through nefarious means that often harm American society in serious ways.

Specifically, a recent example would be the recent Democrat President openly encouraging ILLEGAL immigrants to vote. This is unprecedented.
Another would be so called "sanctuary" cities where illegal immigrants are basically protected and provided ID's, health care and rights and it can be presumed that in exchange, they will vote "properly" in elections in exchange for these taxpayer funded "services". Yet another would be the current Democrat President attending funerals and speaking on behalf of black families of perpetrators who eventually were found to be guilty of crimes. Another would be the apparent lack of support for law enforcement by the current Democratic President. There are many more and I'm sure others will present some I've omitted.

We also recently learned that the interim DNC chairwoman provided Hillary Clinton with the debate questions to be asked in a Presidential debate BEFORE the debate. And Hillary Clinton accepted them.
It seems corruption and the willingness to break the law is of no concern to Democrats when political power is at stake. This means that their political power, and not policies that best serve and protect American lives, is most important to them.

What examples can the left present as evidence of the right's support of the decay of law and order and the rise of savagery?

In liberal universities around the nation, teaching that white America owes something to certain groups and by government institution of policies that make it easy for poor people to become dependent on government, the left has built generations of angry, irresponsible, dangerous misfits who are turning to savage behavior.

You are right that we are a savage nation, a nation of savages. That despite our claims to be a Christian nation.

A recent poll shows that about 60% of americans support torture, and that qualifies as a nation of savages, at least 60% savages.

Mr. Justice Brandeis claimed in his Olmstead dissent that the government, for better or for worse, sets an example that is many times followed by the citizens. 15 years of a fraudulent and undeclared war sets a strong example to the citizens that violence is the solution for many perceived problems.

It's a human thing, not a left-right thing. You should live up to your name here, NoLeftNoRight.
 
Nothing to see here....the liberal loons have denied the problem, therefore the problem doesn't exist.....

And....illegals did not vote...Hillary will win in a landslide...The chair of the DNC would never pass the debate questions to Hillary...Obama would not stoop to midnight flurry of EO's or release a record number of felons....and let's not forget....if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor...

Savagery on the rise?.....nahhhh

My view:


The view that "brutal murders, to the knockout "game", to kidnapping to road rage to gun toting thugs posing as UPS drivers to rob people" is the left's fault is the stupidest most biased view possible.

As usual, your mouth opens before your mind has done so.

Read the post again. Examples are listed. Argue those specifically, present your own evidence or stop making pointless opinion posts.

I have to laugh when I read someone say "Actual violent crime is on a downward slide".

Hard to believe the statistics when a record number of law enforcement officers are dying and Chicago is officially a war zone.
I see more crime in the areas around me (urban area). I also see much more irresponsible driving and road anger than ever.
I tend to trust what I see locally over what the Feds report.

The left also reports gun crime rising sharply, then out of the other corner of their mouth says overall crime is down. Go figure.
Not saying you...just in general.

You cited a statistic as a reason to disbelieve "the" statistics? Your OP is about crime nationally and your response is "oh yeah, chicago!"? You assume that crime rates are directly correlated to gun-crime rates?




What a hopelessly absurd post!

Criminal behavior is not partisan. If anything, those people have things other than politics on their minds, if you know what I mean. Jeffrey Dahmer wasn't reading the OP Ed of the Milwaukee Journal, just the recipe section.
