"Hey Black Person, Don't work hard and you are owed something. Peace out, Black Delegation."
Mr. News
Privileged pigs like Hannity, who really DO believe that society owes them EVERYTHING because they are rich and white, make me sick.
The blame and spotlight should be on the greedy ones who condone, support and benefit from an evil oppressive way of life.
This nation used to be built on the idea that even a poor man could make the choice to pull himself up and be successful... no longer, the new American dream is "get rich quick, sue somebody" or at least find some way to ditch responsibility for your current position and get some money from someone else anyway.....
The minute population who honestly believe that the government owes them something is wrong in their thinking and will never acheive the American dream. I'm saying that all kids deserve the same chance and we have to find a way to provide every kid that chance. And the solution is not school vouchers. The solution is to provide a quality public education to every child. And if that child isn't college bound, provide job training like they do in other countries. In most countries, they test kids in the lower grades and if they aren't capable of a college education they go into a different system that provides job training. It benefits the whole country. I know we spend a decent portion of tax dollars on the educational system, but it skewered to the wealthier population and it's not working.
Not to mention, the hero of the Alger books often turned out to be the heir to a massive trust fund, which sure didn't hurt his rise to the top.
You would think that the only black people who have ever made money are athletes, entertainers and black republicans. The black republicans are always caught on camera bashing the less fortunate. Successful black liberals do exist and they are realize there is some truth to the points these people are making. However these are not the only reasons why it is difficult for minorities progress.
It is very important that they have a fair fighting chance so that if they do put in the work they can build themselves up. As a black person you are faced with having to far exceed or peers academically so that you can be on the same level. This put together with the fact that most people get jobs through recommendations makes it a very tough road. Parents just want to be able to get by so they can give their children a chance be who they want to be. Black people are hungry and want to work hard by nature they can put the work in. The reason why you end up seeing criminals is because they eventually find a way to make the money they have always dreamed of making. It takes a smart hard working person to be a criminal to be a rich one.
This attack on the less fortunate needs to stop. On one hand you have some people who are content and believe that it all comes down to letting companies determine their fate and if they stay in line they will make it. On the other hand you have people how have seen the lie in the promise and are learning to feel defeated by it as each generation passes. They now believe a chance is coming and they happen to be black. There is nothing worse than asking someone to accept the order of things because you have created that order for personal benefit.
We all know now that the "Free market" is really the "Unquestioned market" the need the people to be under their thumb to survive. The right is always spreading fer about an Orwellian system because the people at the top are running hypocritical Orwellian strategy.
The right is so concerned about telling people how they should think and act and the left is trying to encourage people to think for themselves and question inconsistencies in the dream they are being sold.
Most conservatives actually believe in an individuals right to determine their own destiny. Telling people how they should think and act is the last thing on any conservative's agenda. Freedom for the individual regardless of race, sex, creed, or financial status is our motto. No true conservatives are "attacking" the less fortunate as you say. The difference between our philosophies is that we believe that ANY man or woman should be free to pursue happiness unfettered by Government regulation that arrogantly supposes it knows what is good for me. Sorry, I know what is good for me, not my Government. It really comes down to freedom, something the left claims to embrace while at the same time chipping away at the facade of liberty with its chisels of restrictive legislation. Do those people less fortunate than me deserve my help? Absolutely! I just don't think that more Government spending, more social welfare, and more entitlement programs will help those in need to find a better life.
There is a lot of hate, anger, and revulsion on this and other political sites I have visited lately, from both sides of the political spectrum. It is disturbing. We are all Americans and all want our country and its people to succeed and do better. It is a total falsehood that conservatives are racists, uncaring, greedy, and uninterested in anything except enriching themselves. We want the same things you do, we just feel there might be a better way to get there. I and a growing group of conservatives are completely disenchanted with the Republican party. Many of us (myself included) voted for Obama because we too, were sick of the leadership in Washington. He promised change and I personally could not support John McCain after he came out in support of the bailout. Obama is an extremely attractive candidate. He is the best public speaker we have had in the White House in 100 years. I and other independents who voted for him were excited to hear him promise to curtail earmarks and thrilled to hear him espouse "transparency" in government. We would soon be disappointed though when the very first piece of legislation he passed, the stimulus, was chock full of the same earmarks he promised us he would do away with. Well, we still held out hope. Then came healthcare reform meetings, totally held in secret and never being posted on the web as promised. Then the car company bailouts kowtowing to the Union bosses that had been promised a "seat at the table". It soon became clear to us that he is nothing more, better or worse than the rest of the a holes in DC. GOP, Democrat, whatever. If you think they have YOUR interests in mind, you're high. The current administration is beholden to special interest just as Bush and his cronies were. Bush and the boys were in the pockets of Wall Street, Obama and his posse dance to the tune sung by the powerful labor unions and special advocacy groups. Don't think for a minute that Blacks or any other minority or special interest group will get what they "deserve" from Obama. They will only get what every other group has gotten from their chosen politician. Only enough to get re-elected.
Real change will not and cannot come about until the system is changed from the inside out. Without campaign finance reform, an absolute ban on any lobbying (special interest groups) of any sort in Washington, term limits for Congress, salary restructure for Congress that rewards progress and punishes waste, and a complete turnover of the current members of the house, senate, and administration nothing is going to change. We conservatives and liberals have much more in common than you think. We are both getting screwed by the fat cats in the beltway who are treated like rock stars from the moment the get to Washington. They make very good salaries and the Congressional pension plan ensures that if they don't get re-elected, the have a steady income and the best health care available for the rest of their lives! Who do you think created this system? They did! They lie, cheat, and steal. They don't pay their taxes, then sic the IRS on anyone who dares to question their integrity! Do you really believe Obama has your best interests in mind? Do you think he is going to take money from the rich and distribute it to the poor? Where do you think he eats? Wendy's $1 hamburgers? And even if he did redistribute the wealth in our country, do you really think that is the best way to raise those who are impoverished up from the gutter? By giving them someone else's money? REALLY? Have you heard the proverb, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.? The politicians don't want to teach the poor to fish. They want to give them a fish for dinner. Why? Because then those people become dependent upon others rather than learning to take care of themselves. Wake up. Don't fall for the lies from both sides anymore. We the people of this great nation deserve better. I don't care if you and I are from different backgrounds, are of different races, or have different core beliefs. We both deserve to be represented by a government that is honest, ethical, and accountable to the people. Don't put your head in the sand and think that Obama and his crew are any better than Georgie boy and his homies. They are not! If people like you, I and others from different political persuasions could come together and demand better government, we might actually make a difference. Then again, we could keep doing the same old BS we have done for the last 100 years. Vote my guy in, vote yours out. Your guy in, mine out. Forever and ever and ever........
Consider how Rush, Sean, Glenn, et al change their claims not only day by day, but sometimes hour by hour (or word by word). There seems to be a lack or memory (both long term and short term) as an indication of just who these people are.
Deep inside each one of us is a big dream struggling to free itself from the limitations of our past experiences,present circumstances,and self imposed doubts.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
Thank goodness for Sean Hannity; for, without him, not ONLY would we never know how badly white people have it in this country, or how hard it is for Sean to give on-air rehab to racists [Hal Turner, Andy Martin, Dog Chapman] . . . we can always count on Sean to bring on plenty of white guests -- or, in this case, ONE SINGLE, SOLITARY BLACK WOMAN -- that have their fingers on the pulse of the ENTIRE African American community . . .
Because of stress and exhaustion my health deteriorates and because I have no insurance I use the emergency ward for my health care. I get layed off from one of my low paying jobs because I am starting to miss work because of my health, then I lose the other job eventually I go on unemployment and food stamps, and now I am being evicted because I can't pay my rent. So I join the military where everything is taken care of, and I can defend the system that gave me this opportunity. Hey the system works!!
Ok! Just ignore that every race in this country has a poor class. Since she is of african-american background she should smear her race on TV. How about defending our race and say that the education system is the problem, along with job growth. The more better paying jobs the more people do not have to rely on welfare.
Job growth has stalled every since the 1980's. Our education system is horrible. Especially with privatation of plenty of school and the lack of intrest in public school. And they say people are lazy! YEAH RIGHT!
Unless it's about something other than their tax dollars. I know, that's pretty far-fetched. </sarc.>
