Congressman Rangel Slams South Over Guns but Doesn’t Mention Chicago or Detroit
Congressman Rangel Slams South Over Guns but Doesn’t Mention Chicago or Detroit
Charles Rangel is a Democrat Congressman from New York. He is not a big believer in the Second Amendment. He’s also prejudice against the South. Speaking on MSNBC Live on January 16, 2013 Rangel said that “‘some of the southern areas have cultures that we have to overcome’ when it comes to gun control.” He went on to say:
“New York is a little different and more progressive in a lot of areas than some other states and some of the southern areas have cultures that we have to overcome.”
What he means by “more progressive” is more liberal. New York is pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, pro-high taxes, pro-government regulations, pro-union, and pro-being-a-busybody telling people what they can eat and drink.
I find it interesting that the violent crime rate in New York is higher than in Georgia: 3.98 per 1000 in New York and 3.73 per thousand in Georgia.
Maybe Rangel was talking about south Chicago:
“Homicides in Chicago spiked by 60 percent during the first three months of the year despite an increase in police resources in some of the city’s most dangerous neighborhoods, according to new police crime statistics. . . .
Final CNN Poll: Deadlocked at 49, Despite D+11 Sample
via townhall.com
Say, has anyone mentioned this race looks pretty close lately? Oh, that’s right — everyone has. CNN’s last national poll before Judgment Day shows the race tied at 49, with a D+11 partisan sample. This assumes Democrats will improve upon their extraordinary 2008 turnout by four percentage points. There’s a word for this. It’s “ludicrous.” CNN’s previous national poll gave Obama a three-point lead, so it suggests the GOP nominee is gaining steam. In light of the mind-blowing sample, how is the race even close, let alone tied?
(1) Independent voters are siding with Romney by 22 points, 59/37.
(2) Romney leads by nine on the economy — which is the top issue for voters, followed closely by the deficit, another Romney strong suit.
(3) Romney matches Obama on favorability and leadership qualities.
So there’s that. In case you’re curious, the poll was conducted Friday through Sunday, so any potential Sandy “bump” for Obama should be reflected in the numbers. Perhaps even more astonishing is the GOP’s one-point lead on the poll’s generic Congressional ballot (which may help explain stories like this). Have I mentioned this survey has a D+11 sample?
