Expressions of Liberty

A commentary on the governmental respect for natural human rights as expressed by the founders of the United States and how it effects us today. I also show how the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution and other related documents are not dead documents in America today, but merely ignored and misused.

Name:
Location: Champaign, Illinois, United States

I am a classical liberal which is considered a type of conservative in these modern days. I am pro-right to life, pro-right to liberty, pro-parental rights, pro-right to property and a number of other natural human rights.

Camden, NJ A Victim Of Liberal Assault On The General Welfare

The city of Camden, NJ to the company Morgan Quitno's ranking and they feel picked on. The state of New Jersey has invested $175 million into the city to spur development and take over city government. A higher police presence with higher level technical assistance has reputedly lowed the violent crime by up to 18%

All of this barely touches on the real cause behind Camden’s ills. Camden has a liberal culture and the ills of that culture of no fault divorce and sex outside of marriage is a higher level of violence. According to the 2000 Census data 26.14% of the population live in married households. Camden is also a poor city which only adds insult to injury. If the state really wants to aid Camden and its other cities then they need to encourage stable marriages and make divorce harder.

Stronger marriages will not cure all ills, but the evidence shows that it will decrease the level of violent crime. Lower crime will encourage the growth of businesses and more students will attend the local university as the people feel more safe and secure from the tyranny of others. The institutionalized population is 4.32% or about 1 person for every 25 individuals. Institutionalized individuals include such individuals as those in prison, mental hospitals, and senior citizen homes.

Provo, UT has a marriage rate of 56.96 and an institutionalized population of .84% according to the 2000 census data. It also has a violent crime rate of 140.1 per 100,000 people in 2004. No one should be surprised it is a wealthy but very conservative city in a conservative state. Compare that with Camden, NJ which had a violent crime rate of 2261.7 per 100,000 during the same period. That is 16 times greater and New Jersey is a very liberal state. Boston, MA is also very liberal city in a liberal state with a marriage rate of 27.45% and an institutionalized population of 1.44%. It has a violent crime level of 1192.4 incidents per 100,000 population which is approximately half of Camden’s. According to City-data.com their incomes are as follows Camden, NJ, $23,421; Boston, MA, $39,629; and Provo, UT 34,313.

In conclusion the liberal cultural is linked to low marriage rates which leads to high crime rates. So while the modern liberal philosophy dominates the Democratic party a vote for a Democrat is a vote against marriage and a vote for higher crime.
