Oh, I believe that liberal policies play a part.  The policy that a woman can't receive welfare if a man is in the home is crazy, agreed?  That's why I pointed out that with no dad or other man in their lives mentoring them, they turn to gangs for identity and validation.  but liberal policies alone are not the problem.  Dropping out, no faith belief, too much violence coming from Hollywood.  I and others go to Chicago because it is a petri dish for a problem that has nothing to do with guns, but people.
