RE: Epic Fail: The War On Poverty
last time I looked (2010), black folk were only 40% of the welfare-client population, and yet efforts to reform welfare spending are deemed "racist"
The term I use for the black "leadership" is sonderkommando, after the Jews the fed other Jews into the ovens for the Nazis...and yet the conmen Jackson, Sharpton, etc, sell out the black community for personal profit, not for another few days of life.
My point exactly... That's why I began with you can't discuss poverty in this country without bringing up race
Here in the real world- blacks and whites (that aren't a part of the whole race-baiting paradigm) are pretty much the same... Even though the nuclear black family has been all but destroyed.
the democong knew what they were doing; that Johnson quote shows that.
We can't look at black folk as if they were dumber than white folk, however.
Boston Irish were some patriotic sunsabitches, but they voted that drunk fat traitor in year after year even after Chappaquiddick
Speaking of fat drunk Irishmen... I used to live down the street from Tip O'Neill- what a great guy! There were 4 of us, all Nam vets, Bruce and Doug Wilcox (Doug was 2nd Marine Recon & Bruce was a door gunner on a Huey) John Mason was 101 Airborne and me. We rented a big house in N Cambridge and used to sit on the porch drinking beer and smoking weed. When Tip would walk by we'd invite him up and he'd lift a few with us (no weed though). he'd say "No, better not- you guys go ahead though"
One winter we had a big storm and Tip was in DC so we went over and shoveled Millie's walk out so she could get around. She tried to pay us but... Tip used to say he was glad we were in the neighborhood- he felt safer. That guy knew everybody... and don't ask me how I got off on this track!
politicans are usually likable in person
Tip was one of those guys that was well read and understood the problems we faced, and yet voted squarely in the democong camp every damn time
I guess you gotta dance with the one that brung ya!
corruption and kickback are inherent to any human organization; the point is understanding when the parasite kills or weakens the host.
A little enlightenend self-interest never killed anybody, and is the norm. going along for the ride once the main arteries are bleeding is consent to killing the host. That's what Tip did.
