How the Democrats Support the Poor

As I have previously written, you need to look no further than the city of Detroit to see how the Democratic Party has “taken care of the poor”

The plight of Detroit is a perfect example of what a socialist system does to the poor. It rewards those at the bottom by allowing them to squeak by on a meager existence by giving them a monthly check which amounts to the same pay they would make at a minimum wage job after taxes, food and shelter. The government takes care of the food portion for them by way of the bridge card (food stamp program) they get free health care at any emergency room, their heat and electricity are paid for by programs such as MPSC Assistance Program, People Care program and the State Emergency Relief just to name a few and rent is dirt cheap in the city.

All of these programs have one thing in common; they are paid for by our tax dollars.

These politicians have driven the life out of the city, they are constantly trying to bring it back with more of our tax dollars being spent on improvement projects, entitlement programs, jobs bills but none of these work. The only thing that will revive the city is free market capitalism.

If a young professional who works in the city wants to move downtown figuring they’ll be closer to work, there are many nice places to live along the riverfront. However, if that person wants to go buy groceries, shop for clothing, hardware and such, they have to leave the city. The crime in the inner city has driven all of these types of business out.

Neighborhood revitalization will only take place after the city has been scrubbed of crime both on the streets and in city hall.

Crooked politicians like Kwame Kilpatrick, Monica Conyers and Coleman Young have left a bad taste in the mouth of so many. Kwame’s mother Carolyn ‘Cheek’ Kilpatrick, John Conyers, Monica’s husband are among the many that perpetuate this situation.

The jobs in Detroit are becoming non-existent and one of the problems adding to this is illegal immigrants. Michigan is a border state and NumbersUSA.com has rated politicians in our state on how they stand on enforcing our borders to protect our economy, jobs and ultimately its citizens.

Looking over the list of grades given by NumbersUSA for politicians that support protecting our border, we find the bottom 6 US representatives from Michigan are all democrats and all but one represent the Detroit area the only exception is Dale Kildee who hails from Flint. Dale scored a solid D, Sander Levin scored a D-, the two John’s; Conyers and Dingell scored an F and Carolyn “Cheeks” Kilpatrick and Carl Levin scored an F-

People in suburbs are fed up with Detroit. When the people of the city re-elected Kwame even after knowing his crimes, the people in the burbs were greatly disappointed and many washed their hands of the city. A city council member was recorded on camera’s slamming his fist on a table at a council meeting demanding that because the city of “Detroit has an 88% minority rate; 88% of the casino employee’s then should be minorities”. The people in suburbs said “OK, we’ll stay of the casino’s then and see what kind of money they make with just minorities gambling in them” hence the casino’s are now looking at bankruptcy.

The city of Detroit supplies water to most of the suburbs but no one from the ‘burbs’ is allowed on the board that oversees it. I know first-hand how city services work. If you’ve got $50, you can get someone with a tool to turn the water back on if it was shut off for non-payment and it could be years before they find out and if at all. Trash pick-up works the same way; if you own a business, you are required to dump most of your refuse into a rented dumpster, but if you contact the city trash collectors as they go through your alleyway, they’ll take all the trash you have for a $20 bill.

Detroit is probably the most segregated city in the nation. Until the residents become aware of what is really happening in their city and top electing crooks, I’m afraid it will only get worse until Detroit eventually mowed down for farm land and then we’ll have to start all over again.

This is how the democrats support the poor, yet the people still vote for these blood-suckers.

Sen. John Kerry and his Yacht

Sen. John Kerry, who is one of the biggest supporters of tax increases, moved his yacht to Newport RI to avoid a six figure payment in taxes. Apparently higher taxes are good enough for us, but not for him. This is the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party. “It’s a good thing to spread the wealth so long as it’s not mine”

Kerry should move to were the taxes are the highest. He should fill out the short form when doing his income taxes to make sure he pays the most possible taxes because that is what is good for the America.

This would the patriotic thing to do according to the Obama administration.
Kerry chose to park his yacht in RI rather than MA where he lives because MA would have charged him $437,500 in sales taxes on his $7 million boat and an annual fee of $70,000

So because of higher taxes enacted in Massachusetts in 1993 on these luxury items, we see how higher taxes harm small businesses and reduces jobs.
Kerry stated in February of 2009: “If you put a tax cut in the hands of a business or family, there’s no guarantee that they’re going to invest that or invest it in America”

Pretty good statement from a guy that spent $7 million on a yacht made in New Zealand and then had it delivered through an out-of-state distributor to avoid taxes.

Moderate Muslim?

Via the internet, author unknown:

"We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the specter of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.

The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.

The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is intimidated and irrelevant.

Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.

The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.

And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'?

History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points:
Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence.
Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like those in Germany, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.

Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late. As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts -- the fanatics who threaten our way of life."

There are no moderate Muslims! Have you ever heard anyone refer to other religions this way? Moderate Catholics or Moderate Baptists. The stories above shows why we need to stay engaged and stop the spread of this disease that the current administration is trying to coddle and defend. If the peace loving Muslims will not speak out against the hate-filled religious wack-jobs that have taken over their religion, we will have to do it for them.

Where did the jobs go?

Obama is blaming the republicans for blocking passage of yet another unemployment extension. The unemployed don’t want hand-outs they want jobs. We’ve spent $1 trillion on jobs stimulus, with the promise that unemployment would not exceed 8% yet here we are at 10%.

The ruling class (democrats) the very people that are now asking where the jobs are, can’t figure out where the jobs went to.
They can’t find them because they are the ones that destroyed them with their tax plans and the destruction of the private sector businesses such as the auto industry, oil industry and the health care industry.

Obama won’t allow the oil companies to drill, he won’t allow loggers to cut and he won’t allow new power plants to be built. These all equal = jobs lost.

He spent all this money on stimulus and yet they are not creating jobs. He did create 300 jobs here in Michigan producing batteries for electric cars and it only cost us $502,000 per job to create! I think he should have given the half million to these 300 people and had then open a business with the money so they could hire a few people.

We’re at 99 weeks of unemployment extensions. The average time for the economy to rebound is generally 8 months if we do nothing. Obama’s policies are not “stimulating” the economy they are doing just the opposite. The democrats have been in power since 2006 and have been forcing their tax and spend policies since then and this is the result.

One republican senator said it best when he stated “why don’t we just put everyone on the payroll and call it a day”

Race and Blame

When all else fails the Obama administration knows two things; pull the race card and start the blame game. When anyone starts to question the administrations failed policies they quickly change ponies and start blaming George Bush and BP oil. Currently they are releasing their attack dogs, the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) and the NAACP on the tea party groups.

The lame stream media is right there on Obama’s lap, trying to sell the lies that a few in the tea party members uttered racial remarks to a few democratic black congressmen as they walked from one building to another. This event was filmed by no less than 5 video cameras and not one of them caught the alleged off-color remark. Andrew Breitbart offered a $100,000 reward to anyone that could provide proof that it happened -- no one has come forward.

This same media cannot bring itself to run the videos of the NBPP leader “Minister King Samir Shabazz” (aka Maurice Heath) claiming “I hate white people -- you want freedom? You're gonna have to kill some crackers! You're gonna have to kill some of their babies!"
These are the same people that aggressively and successfully lobbied the White House to drop charges against the NBPP members that were accused of voter intimidation in the 2008 elections.

The White House has taken to task to use our money to file a lawsuit against a law that 70% of American’s support. That of course is the Arizona Illegal Immigration Law. The law itself mirrors federal law but there’s a problem – the Fed’s won’t enforce the law so Arizona had to fend for itself and now they have to fight the federal government in court so that they can protect the citizens of their state.

If this makes your head spin; you’ll love this next part. The White has stated that it will not seek to reprimand or prosecute the so named “sanctuary cities”. These are cities that receive federal dollars (our tax dollars) to enforce immigration laws but decided not to and to use the money for other projects.

So to put this in perspective; the Obama administration will sue you for trying to do the job they are supposed to do, namely protecting it’s citizens and our borders, but will not bother you if you break the law when it comes to immigration. If you mess with the law, it’s OK, but if you interfere with Obama’s vision, you’re in their crosshairs.

When the NAACP stands up and explains why they:

A) lobbied the Obama White House to dismiss voter intimidation charges against the thugs of the New Black Panther Party
B) oppose the 21st century school choice movement to free poor minority students from rotten government schools
C) choose "diversity" above academic study as its primary education goal
D) are pushing our country back to the pre-civil rights era using race-based classification
E) can explain the racist sneers and smears like those leveled by the St. Louis NAACP chapter against black limited-government activist Kenneth Gladney, who was labeled by civil rights leaders as an "Uncle Tom" after he was beaten bloody by Service Employees International Union henchmen last summer

Then and only then will their claim of “racists” among the tea partiers seem like a valid claim, problem is there has been no proof of any of the claims brought forward.

Every group has a few loose cannons and I’m sure there are a few in some tea parties. I personally have not seen one. I witnessed a sign at a town hall meeting showing Obama as Hitler with the little mustache, but it was being carried by a young black man.

Obama says we need to talk about racism in this country. This was Pat Buchanan’s response:

“Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America... Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation... White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to... This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:

First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known. Rev. Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.

Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the '60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream.

Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants. Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.

We hear the grievances.
Where is the gratitude??

Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks. Let him go to Altoona and Johnstown, and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids…

Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America? Is it really white America's fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?

Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?

Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?

We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al Sharpton about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena which all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.
Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago”

Pat makes some great points in this speech and he backs them with facts and the truth. When the NAACP or the NBPP can do that, maybe they will have a leg to stand on.

Entitlements

Enough of the nanny state crap and these entitlement programs that the democrats have pushed into our society. They have effectively removed the father from the home and replaced him with a welfare check. Jimmy Carters entitlement programs have destroyed major cities such as Detroit with his policies. Once the family is gone so are all the moralities that went along with it.

Does anyone think we are better off now than we were back in the 50’s and 60’s when you could trust your neighbor and leave your doors unlocked and children were respectful of their elders calling them Sir and Ma’am?

The democrats have taken the paddle out of the parents and teachers hands and made the father a passing figure by entitling single mother’s to a paycheck. Some of these women have made a career out of this lifestyle; if they want a raise, they have another baby. They toss “daddy” to the curb because they no longer need his support but the ones that suffer initially are the children. In the long run we as a society also suffer the consequences of these policies.

Amnesty for illegal aliens will only perpetuate this situation. The democrats are telling us that “people cannot be “illegal’s” that by using such a term we are degrading them. Calling people that illegally enter this country is exactly what they are illegal’s. So by the democrats thought process; are aborted babies then not human?

Obama and his clan of misguided, misinformed and inexperienced followers are spending time, energy and our tax dollars on fighting laws like the one Arizona passed… instead of seeing what happens when this law is enacted, they are fighting it tooth and nail to stop it before it takes effect. They are not interested in the results that will most likely result from the outcome as they are sure it will show that a drop in illegal’s in Arizona will lift the state wide economy and drastically slow the drug and human trafficking.

This does not bode well for a group that is in dire need of votes come 2012 and who do you think these illegal’s will cast a vote for? The people that offer them a study program to citizenship through hard work like every other immigrant did over the last 150 years or the guy that gives them everything for free. The democrats know they will reap the votes from this group of immigrants but they most likely won’t be eligible to vote by 2012 and that is unacceptable by the liberal democrats.

Obama’s arrogance will be his undoing by pressing this lawsuit against Arizona and his blatant attempt to destroy the oil industry. He and his cronies are paddling upstream against the current by fighting the will of the American people. They are pushing and pushing for more government control of the free market system that has served us well for over 200 years.

They keep digging in deeper by moving in these directions rather than finding solutions to things the American people are seeking such as bolstering the economy and taking steps to create jobs.

This again goes against all that they hold sacred because in order to create jobs, government has to get out of the way and let the free market work. This current administration has no clue of how to handle anything. Not one of them has ever had a job that wasn’t taxpayer subsidized. None of them has run a successful corporation or business, none of them has had any military experience and none of them have the experience to handle a crisis such as the Gulf Oil Spill or to protect our borders.
The problem is not with Obama; the problem is with the people that were suckered in to voting for this charlatan. The dummying down of the American public’s view of politics aided by a press that has also drank the Kool-Aid by not reporting the truth is leading the people astray.

If your one of those that wait until Election Day to decide who you are going to vote for or vote for them because you saw the name on a sign on the way to the polls or because it’s easy to pronounce, you my friend, are the problem.

Cloward-Piven-Alinsky

Anybody that is above ground and breathing that supports Obama does not pay attention to what he does. They only listen to what he says and even that is starting to scare off even his most supportive zombies.

Obama has no intent of letting up on his plan spelled out by Cloward-Piven and Alinsky to bring the U.S. down by any means necessary. Obama believes that the white “rich” man has stolen all the earth’s riches while holding down the minorities on this planet and that all of the riches of the earth should be divided equally upon all on the populace regardless of how much money the mean old rich man invested and studied to gain the technology to extract the resources. Nor the fact that these rich tyrants employed millions of people that moved them from plowing rocks and living in shacks to air conditioning and indoor toilets.

Obama sat in the same church for 20 years listening to his pastor trash talk America and his racist views on the white man yet he never considered this a reason to leave the church nor condemn the Rev. Jeremiah Wright until it became a campaign problem then Obama threw him directly under the bus.

Oprah had all she could stand and had the intelligence to walk away from this bigoted idiot.

Obama’s associations with Tony Resko and Gov. Blagojevich ended the same way; they too were set on fire when it was convenient for the Obama administration to hide their crooked connections with these characters and others.

The Obama administration has single handedly re-introduced racism in this country and they are moving ahead full steam to make sure that it sticks. Anything they can use to take more of our liberties for any reason they will.

To Alinsky, Cloward and Piven this was a theory or a practice; to Obama it is a life mission

Obama Logic

There must be a simply logical reason why Obama won’t let Arizona secure its borders or protect its citizens, right?

Or why he won’t let Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana clean up the spill along the beaches of his state.

Gov. Jindal brought a lawsuit against the federal government after they put a moratorium on off-shore drilling because of the spill in the Gulf. A judge in Louisiana over-ruled the moratorium, but the Obama administration said that they will file another suit effectively creating a “de-fact-o moratorium” and costing the state 20,000 more jobs.

Obama, with his health care bill has brought about lawsuits is 15 states so far because it is unconstitutional.

He mandates that any state that receives stimulus money (our own money) must erect signs over road projects stating that this “Project funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act." Not one single job has been created by these signs. This is tax payer dollars being wasted by a mandate so that Obama can self-promote. It’s costing taxpayers $20 million for these signs, $650,000 in Illinois alone.

Obama’s DOJ and Eric Holder decided not to prosecute the New Black Panther Party members who threatened voters at the polls in 2008. One of them King Samir Shabazz spoke out to the Philadelphia Inquirer

"I'm about the total destruction of white people. I'm about the total liberation of black people. I hate white people. I hate my enemy... The only thing the cracker understands is violence... The only thing the cracker understands is gunpowder. You got to take violence to violence."

A documentary shot by National Geographic in 2009 shows King Samir Shabazz spewing his hatred stating "You want freedom? You're gonna have to kill some crackers! You're gonna have to kill some of their babies!"

This is the goal of the Obama administration; to destroy our way of life. In every situation Obama has gone against the will of the people. In November we will have a chance to speak to him loudly and clearly at the polls.
