The War on Poverty was intended to create a class of people permanently dependent on the government. It worked, just like President Johnson said it would. Combined with Senator Kennedy’s immigration bill, and a couple of really nice timebombs from the New Deal, and this country is in serious jeopardy.

“But there have already been statements in the media and in politics proclaiming that this vast and costly array of anti-poverty programs “worked.”

Right.

If it ‘worked’ why did America elect and RE elect a ‘gimme more freebies’/’I'm SO exploited and under served’/’How come I can't go to Disneyland every year’,etc. candidate who never opened his mouth except to ‘re educate’ his whining base on how cheated, disenfranchised and otherwise locked into the 'have-not', indolent, victimhood mentality they have permitted themselves to BECOME!?

The murder rate had been going down for decades, and in 1960 was only half of what it had been in 1934. That trend suddenly reversed after the liberal changes in criminal laws during the 1960s. By 1974, the murder rate was more than twice as high as it had been in 1961.

True, but incomplete. The murder rate peaked in the 80s and has been declining since.

The numbers aren't in yet, but it is quite possible 2013 will post a record low rate, below 1960.

Do liberals also come in Low-Fact and Reduced-Fact?
