It's Your Fault

Ever since Kansas City Chief's linebacker Jovan Belcher killed his girlfriend and then himself the liberal know-it-alls have been filling the media with excuses.  Those who have picked up on the current fad of blaming the violence of football for causing head injuries have claimed that as the reason for this tragedy well before there has been any evidence.  They have called for banning football.  Of course the television moguls shudder at the thought of banning their meal ticket, so Bob Costas had to get on a soapbox during halftime of Sunday night's Cowboys - Eagles game and blame the long standing primary liberal target - guns.  Since guns are the cause, they must be banned.  (By the way, guns aren't the problem, nor are bullets.  I'd say it's the trigger.)

Naturally, in today's increasingly feminized America, a growing popular cause of Belcher's action was to blame it all on being a man.  Yes, it's true.  Articles have been written and talk shows have discussed it.  Somehow it is due to masculinity, machismo, virility, manliness.  Supposedly men are programmed to kill.  Never mind the fact that the act of killing a woman, and particularly the mother of your child, would be the most unmanly thing a man could do.  Like everything else, liberals are changing the definition of what it means to be a man.

It would be interesting to see some statistics on the percentage of white, black, Latino and Asian men who murder people.  It would also be interesting to see the number of each ethnic group who use guns to commit those murders.  If the statistics indicated that a particular ethnic group had a significantly higher incidence of participation in those crimes, then a rational inference would be that perhaps the primary cause is genetic.  Of course that would be so politically incorrect as to be preposterous and unthinkable.

Perhaps another conclusion could be reached if the analysis of murders and the use of guns was based on either socio-economic status or social environment, i.e., inner-city versus suburban versus rural.  Those statistics might also prove to be politically incorrect as they are more than likely to show that the social policies imposed by the liberals over the last fifty years have not only been a major failure, but have made modern society more polarized, coldhearted and malicious.  Personally, I would bet money that this is the primary cause of America's violent nature.  Of course any evidence supporting this conclusion would also be swept under the rug.

Not that any of that really matters.  It is becoming a new America we live in, one that may soon see the disappearance of guns, football and real men.  Not only will that be an America I do not want to live in, it will be an America that cannot long survive.  It's a competitive and dangerous world out there.  The women and girliemen are taking over.  We'll see how that works out for them.
