You just need to look at the statistics for the more liberal states to see that this is true. Oh wait.... Turns out that <a href="http://www.statemaster.com/graph/lif_div_rat-lifestyle-divorce-rate" rel="nofollow">divorce rates</a>, <a href="http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/teen_preg_stats.html" rel="nofollow">teen pregnancy</a> (PDF file), and <a href="http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_7584821" rel="nofollow">teen suicide</a> seem to be more prevalent in traditionally <em>conservative </em>areas. Imagine that? <a href="http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0004912.html" rel="nofollow">Violent crime</a> seems to be pretty well distributed between conservative and liberal states, and that's counting that more liberal states have bigger urban areas. <a href="http://www.statehealthfacts.org/comparemaptable.jsp?cat=10&ind=465" rel="nofollow">Teen abortion</a> seems to have an even spread between more liberal and more conservative states as well. You can still blame it on the liberals if you like, and say that just because it's the conservative areas that are doing it doesn't mean it's not the liberals fault, but I'd bet some hard cold cash that if the statistics were the other way around, every conservative in America would be pointing to them as proof that liberalism is to blame for societies ills. Amazing what a bit of google can do, even at two in the morning, eh? the misguided belief system that liberals have forced on us over the last 40 years has inflicted the following wounds on America, the nation that succors him: Divorce rates upTeen pregnancy upAbortions upTeen suicides upViolent crime upYep, those damn liberals, they’ve messed up the whole system so anything goes.
