USA Today ran a timely piece on the ugliness that overshadows much of Chicago.
The levels of violence and depredation are truly heartbreaking. The authors as well as the sociologists, authorities, and politicians they interviewed—including, sadly, those identified as Christian—have all kinds of great ideas. Education. Stricter rules and enforcement. Positive activities. Increased parental involvement. All good things.
None of which will work.
You see, their common failure is to acknowledge the root of Chicago’s ills: sin. And the only cure for that disease was crucified, buried, and resurrected almost 2,000 years ago. But it’s not politically correct to point that out.
And so the darkness continues…
In Washington, D.C., a man was robbed and beaten into a coma by three young thugs.
His only protection? A surveillance camera and nonexistent cops.
Why? In D.C. It is illegal to carry a concealed weapon for your own self-defense.
Remember folks, self-defense is not only your right, but when you need help now and the police are minutes (at best) away—it is your right.

Fox News Fact Check: Is Romney’s tax rate really lower than yours?
Short answer: no. Not only is it not lower but, as is pointed out, his income is actually taxed twice. Can we stop worrying about Romney’s tax returns and worry about how Obama is wasting ours?

He hosts the Muslim Brotherhood but can’t be bothered to meet with Netanyahu. At least his priorities are consistent and clear. Israel, meet bus.

Fox NY Razor attack in Manhattan McDonald’s
Newsflash to the LGBT community: liberals don’t hold your best interests as a high priority. They pander to you with special-interest legislation which only serves to turn you into a victim class. Conservatives would rather see you armed and capable of defending yourselves.

No, there’s no effort underway to undermine the family or parents’ authority over their kids. How about reversing your policy so that parents have to opt in?

Lewis W. Diuguid@Kansas City Star The very wealthy are driven by a silent addiction for more
A couple hundred words of Leftist, class warfare drivel, this piece at least got me thinking. If wealth is a mental illness, shouldn’t we consider Obama’s presidency a resounding success? After all, he’s cured an awful lot of Americans of that particular ailment.
Jake Tapper@ABC President Obama Falsely Claims Fast and Furious Program “Begun Under the Previous Administration”
This goes beyond just making a false claim…straight to a deliberate lie. The gun stings run by the Bush administration were done with the full knowledge and cooperation of the Mexican government and the guns were never allowed to “walk”—they were tracked closely from beginning to end. Obama and his appointees have proven themselves incompetent already. Now they expect us to accept a bald lie about their own reckless actions, which have resulted in numerous murders on both sides of the border. It’s time for new management.

Oops.
Two police officers were gunned down in Manchester. One was armed with a Taser, which I’ve heard is very effective when facing an assailant armed with bullets.
How’s that gun ban working out for you?
