….and how the Democrat Party is in a fight on this day whether to being an American political party, or to take up permanent residence in Bernie’s world.
And what that means for America.
It all changed during Bernie’s formative years…..just before and during the 60s.
But first, jump to this week, a result of the factors that created Bernie's World....
1.“This past weekend, Americans learned of another mass shooting, …
Every American asks why. What was the killer’s motive? When we read there is “no known motive,” we are frustrated. Human beings want to make sense of life, especially of evil.
Liberals (in this regard, liberals’ views are essentially the same as leftists’) are virtually united in ascribing these shootings to guns. America had plenty of guns when its mass murder rate was much lower. Grant Duwe, who has a Ph.D. in criminology and is the director of research and evaluation at the Minnesota Department of Corrections, gathered data going back 100 years in his 2007 book, Mass Murder in the United States: A History.
Duwe’s data reveal: In the 20th century, every decade before the 1970s had fewer than ten mass public shootings. In the 1950s, for example, there was one mass shooting. And then a steep rise began. In the 1960s, there were six mass shootings. In the 1970s, the number rose to 13. In the 1980s, the number increased two and a half times, to 32. And it rose again in the 1990s, to 42. As for this century, the New York Times reported in 2014 that, according to the FBI, “mass shootings have risen drastically in the past half-dozen years.”
Given the same ubiquity of guns, wouldn’t the most productive question be what, if anything, has changed since the 1960s and ’70s? Of course it would.
And a great deal has changed. America is much more ethnically diverse and much less religious. Boys have far fewer male role models in their lives. Fewer men marry, and normal boy behavior is largely held in contempt by their feminist teachers, principals, and therapists. Do any or all of those factors matter more than the availability of guns?"
