anyone read it^^^?

One cool thing in it was that the crime rate dropped in the 90s so much was because abortion was legalized. Years before when it was first allowed, poor people stopped having as many children to live in squalor and turn to a life of crime. (not trying to be racist against poor people). So the crime rate dropped years later. Suprising on how so few people know that.

You can't be racist against poor people.

What is it when you are biased against other social classes?

I read 5 chapters of that damn book before throwing it across the room. It's all propagand, achieved by showing only figures that would spin things against the ideals of neo-conservatism. I'm not saying that the new order of Republicans are the best thing ever (keep in mind, I do not assosciate myself with either party) but the Democrats are doing nothing to solve the problems.

You're fucking retarded. I am a social conservative and a fiscal liberal. In other words I am an outcast of the Republicans because I do not believe in their supposed perfect economic infrastructure, and am conversely not a Democrat because I agree with the morality of the conservatives, which the Democrats deem ridiculous. I did say that I believe that the Democrats are doing nothing to solve the problems economically in this country, and that is true. I did not say that the Republicans are doing anything to solve them either. Both parties are locked in a fierce partisan battle that is only going to lead American to a Second Great Depression. Think before you fucking post.
