"America Doesn't Have a Gun Problem, It Has a Democrat Problem."

"These cities are the heartland of America’s real gun culture. It isn’t the bitter gun-and-bible clingers in McCain and Romney territory who are racking up a more horrifying annual kill rate than Al Qaeda; it’s Obama’s own voting base."

Galaxie_Man said...: Don't forget Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven, Worcester, and Springfield here in New England. Not comparatively high total numbers because of smaller populations, but a large percentage increase from the previous year. The scourge of liberal democrat policies spreads far and wide, and is the common denominator in all these cities.

From the article: SPRINGFIELD — With 2015 coming to a close, homicide rates surged in Springfield and Hartford this year, while the total number of people killed in Boston and Providence declined from last year.

As of Dec. 30, Springfield had 18 homicides, a 28.5 percent increase from the 14 killings in 2014. With a population of almost 154,000, New England's fourth-largest city had 19 homicides in 2013 and 12 in 2012.

Hartford, a city with 30,000 fewer residents, saw a dramatic spike in murders this year, from 19 in 2014 to 31 as of Dec. 12 – an increase of more than 63 percent.

In Worcester, New England's second-biggest city with roughly 183,000 residents, there were nine homicides this year, two more than in 2014.

In New Haven, New England's sixth-largest city with a population of 130,000, there were 15 homicides as of Dec. 8, two more than last year's total.

In Bridgeport, New England's fifth-biggest city with a population over 147,000, this year's murder rate spiked by about 58 percent, from 12 in 2014 to 19 as of Christmas Eve. That's when 14-year-old Luis Colon was gunned down by a 23-year-old man.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
