Supposedly, America is a "center-right country" and a "Christian nation." Does that mean those two dominant ways of thinking are causing the problems in our country?

Mr. XXX is the perfect example of people's tendency to make idiotic conclusions that correlation = causation.

murderers often drive cars with big rims. big rims must cause murderous behavior.

Excellent post! While liberals will attempt to tear down the numbers by going down into the weeds to debate irrelevant minutia, the fact remains that somewhere embedded in your statistics is the damning truth. Progressive policies are the reason for these sordid statistics. They know that. And it bothers them. BADLY.

This would only be shocking if progressives had actually been in power more than right wingers since the 1960s. Sadly for your inane and ineffectual point, that is not the case.

What numbers are there to tear down? You accept his statistics without a source for the data and you think you're going to find the truth embedded in it? That's not the path to the truth - that's the path to ignorance.

["somewhere embedded in your statistics is the damning truth," is the most absurd statement I have ever read in this forum]

Are you of the opinion that in fact those social data points are actually BETTER than they were before progressivism took root in America? Common sense (and statistics) tells us that violent crime....abortions....divorce.....poverty....wedlo ck....etc are much worse than they were pre-1964. Numerous studies have proven this. As I said before, the minutia are all you folks are interested in discussing while willfully ignoring that in fact America's social fabric has been torn to shreds since the Great Society was enacted.

THIS IS A FACT.

Provide the data to support the argument. If it exists, then it should be easy to find.

[this isn't about my opinion - I want evidence]

Excellent post? He didn't back up his numbers. That might be an excellent post to a RWNJ like you, but not to anyone who likes facts on either side of the political spectrum.

This thread is 5 pages long. Are you telling me that NONE of you have the courage to start digging into statistics regarding violence, wedlock, abortion, poverty, etc? Is there a reason you won't simply look it up? I'll tell you why.....because you know deep down that such sordid statistics won't back up your assertions. Therefore, you do nothing. That's what this is all about. You should find a new excuse to tear down the OP. A lack of statistics (Google is your friend) is not an excuse. They exist....you're just too scared to look for fear of being WRONG.
