QuoteWhen liberals look at the poor, first and foremost, they see people who will vote for them in exchange for goodies. This gives liberals a perverse incentive to keep as many Americans mired in poverty as humanly possible.

    This is why liberals are always willing to make a government handout a little bigger, easier to qualify for, or to make sure as many people as possible are using it. They want poor people to remain poor – and no wonder. Show me a ghetto in America and I will show you an area that votes heavily Democrat despite the fact that its condition never seems to improve.

    Incidentally, that's just how liberals like it. If you're poor today, they'd like you to remain poor next year, the next ten years or even for the rest of your life. Then, not only do liberals get your vote, they get to feel better about themselves because they're "helping" a "pitiful, helpless failure" like you. It's the best of all worlds for liberals: they get to feel "generous," it helps keep them in power, and other people pick up the bill.

    Of course, it's certainly not the best of all worlds for the poor.

Yep, few remember that Dr. Martin Luther King was a Republican and that most blacks voted for the Party of Lincoln because it was the Republicans that gave them freedom.  (The Democrats actually fillabustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964). A brillant good old boy politician from Texas, got his chance to do something slimey, in the aftermath of the assassination of JFK;  he 'invented' a new plantation.  He created "the Great Society" enabling poor blacks folk to live in poverty for generations, receiving a hand out from their benevolent Mastahs in the Democrat Party!  Dr. King and his supporters used the slogan "We don't want a handout; all we want is your hand".   Other radical black leaders demanded more than friendship, equal opportunity and brotherly love...they wanted whitey to pay reparations for slavery (and the Democrats Jim Crow and KKK experience).

The rest, as they say, is history!

The dems have a significant number of willfully poor because they prefer the government dole to real work.  And they can make more money than getting minimum wages if they have kids!

Welcome to Easy Street.

QuoteI say, in my opinion, the blacks in America made great strides up until about 1964 when Lyndon Johnson started the Great Society give away programs, bot in money, food stamps, welfare and work programs that were total disasters. The blacks were moving forward, households had men in them, discipline was provided, but after Motown, Willy Mays, Jackie Robinson, and other role models passed by, they were replaced with the Gangster Rappers, the Black Panthers, Malcom X, drugs, alcohol, gangs, no fathers in the house, mothers on welfare and drugs, no leadership, no schools, no training, no skills, no self reliance instruction, no jobs, just  angry mean spirited youth growing into men becoming criminals, filling the prisons and graveyards every day.

If liberals who descended from slaveholders (including Ben Affleck) wish to pay reparations for slavery, I would first strongly suggest that all applicants PROVE they actually descended from a slave, and they're not trying a scam based on the color of their skin. DOCUMENTATION!

Of course it's just blindingly racist to say reparations for slavery should actually be decided like any other court issue, with proof and testimony and juries. (Racist, racist, racist.) And it's also racist to point to black births since 1865 and the soaring illegitimacy rate for each of those generations compared to the previous one.

Good luck proving you're related, under factual conditions like those.

I never in my entire life owned a slave.  Why ought I have to pay for somthing somebody else did to somebody a long time ago?  As a matter of fact, my family tree goes back to Scotland where our clan had been banished to Ireland for 500 years, not to return under pain of death. (for horse thievery)

Some Bloody British Bloke no doubt owns my Castle and lands!  Where are my reparations?

I descended from one of those condemned as a Salem witch. Where's mine? Does that give me the right to go drown, burn or crush a few liberals? (Where's Foxlaw when I need the precedents?)

I'm left-handed in an oppressive rightist society which cruelly designs everything for them and not for me and my kind. I demand unisex scissors and door handles! Froth! Snarl!

I had two great great great? grandfathers that fought for the Union in the Civil War.  One was killed and the other one spent most of the war in the Hospital.  He suffered the rest of his life from his injuries.

My family were all abolishists and several put their lives on the line and fought to end the terrible injustice of slavery. several died.  One of my ancestors was actually Horace Greeley ("Go west young man') who was one of the most prominent and outspoken abolishinsts of his day.

Why should I feel guilty because of the color of my skin?

When one reads the Federalist Papers, one discovers that the raging debate of the day was between those who wanted a union and a Federal goverment and those states who preferred the alternative of two "confederations of states"; one a northern confederation and one a southern confederation.  The southern conferation (confederacy) wanted to maintain their vested interests in the slavery brought to these colonies by their colonial ancestors.

Those who see the issue purely as "states rights" miss the brroader picture of why the "states" which were not united under the Artcles of Confederation, after our independance.  The indivdual state knew they could not and would not survive without some sort of unity.  Those who blame the Founders for their having not lived up to the words of the Declaration of Independence ("All men are created equal") fail to realize that without compromise, we would never have become a union of united states. 
Our "experiment" would have ended as Euopean goverments gobbled up their former colonies and fought over the spoils! 

Eventually, freedom did evolve; not only for "all men" but for women too.

How funny!  My lineage also goes back to Scotland.  My daughter immigrated back to Scotland and is keeping her eye on the family clan castle!!   One of the few clan castles still in the family.

Ah but your titles and property were all forfit to the King when ye committed treason and joined the rebels, here in the colonies.  (or were your ancestors Loyalists fighting for the Crown?  )

Libs get off on being in charge, they Love playing God and to have their own little fiefdom. That is what Govt is all about. These people idolize "education" they all consider themselves intellectuals coz they went to college and got some extended degree in whatever socialistic minded field, now that qualifies them for a 85K entry level job they think they are worth where they can "help the Poor" that is a buzz word for joining some Govt funded agency or program that they can weasel their way up the ladder, Lording it over the lesser mortals who are in their charge "The Poor".

More Money from the Govt, bigger program....more employee's to administer the program, now they are in charge of something, more ways to steal and pad the expense account...go to conferences and  "training": which is really a junket to party it up at taxpayers expense.

Of course they want more "poor" people to rack up the numbers and keep the ball rolling.

AND if they do a really good job, get a feather in the cap...who knows...RUN FOR OFFICE, be one of the big boys where you can go to the capitol building or even (dare they hope) Washington Dc as a Senator where they can make the laws to "help the poor"....and really steal.

Its the biggest scam going, of course the rest of us are just Peons who must bow to their wisdom, after all they are intellectuals and know what is best for everybody. Just like the pencil necked geek said while designing commie care
"the public is stupid"....he's right...but that is the contempt they have for middle class Americans.

I had a Scottish ancestor who was brought here to fight in the French and Indian wars.

  Yeah, no titles or property!  But the castle is still in the family (clan).... don't know anything about titles. 

My lineage first migrated to Northern Ireland for a few years and then moved on to the colonies a very long time ago.  I have an aunt that has compiled the entire family lineage in a book.... and I have a copy.  Don't know what it is good for.....
