Lions, and Tigers and Bears, Oh, My!

[ShaklesOfBigGov]

It happens to be the day they're dedicating the MLK statue, so it might be interesting to note...

50 years ago Conservatives were accusing Martin Luther King of being a Communist.

Nowadays, you have Conservatives running around trying to claim Martin Luther King was a Republican.

It might be interesting to note ....
almost 150 years ago on July 17, 1862 "The Second Confiscation Act" passed the Republican Congress, with unanimous Democratic opposition, stating that slaves of the Confederacy "shall be forever free".
The Second Confiscation Act July 17, 1862 - NAACPC.org

Nowadays you have liberal Democrats going around making the claim that they were on the right side of history, and that the GOP is racist without any concern for black Americans (see below)

No, I'm just pointing out, as I do every post in my sigline, that Conservatives are always on the wrong side of history.

This is what happens when certain people don't know enough about their own United States history. Obama, are you absolutely certain we should be allowing states to opt out of "No Child Left Behind?"

The Lions are 5-0 and showing signs of being a definite threat come playoff time

The Tigers got a beatdown from the Rangers last night and were sent packing

The Bears are overrated once again and don't have a chance in the same division as the Packers and the Lions

What about you birds????

Well, the Eagles suck big time. All that dream team talk showed they are just a fantasy football team

Falcons have been up and down but have a solid team

Cardinals and SeaHawks have horrible teams as usual

if the recession gets worse states and cities will have to cut back on employees !! i hope you are included in those cuts !!

So here is how the right thinking goes.

Generalizing about the tea party is stupid and dishonest

Generalizing about OWS is ok because the left was acting stupid and dishonest first.

You see, they don't even try to hide behind the excuse that they are doing it because they believe it, they do it because they want to mimic the left they claim to hate.

Just more colors from the leftist rainbow.

Progressive=Marxist=Socialist=Communist=Leftist=Fascist

They all want state control over everyone and everything. The only difference seems to be in the mechanics of how they achieve it. But in the end, they are effectively the same.

Of course, they all deny it, because they all think themselves unique... just like everybody else.

To the last one, they believe that if the government just gets to seize the wealth of individuals that government will distribute it among the people.

WHY? Whatever would make them believe that? Has it ever happened?

Guess again, lizard-skin!

I'm leaving that in, even though it's content-free fluff, because unlike a lot of insults it's kind of amusing. Not bad.

Today, more than 70% of black children are born to single women.

Right, I'm not disputing the statistic, just what it means, and also your assumptions about the cause. Regarding the first:

A child may be "born out of wedlock" or "born to a single women" if a) Dad knocked up Mom and split; b) Mom and Dad have a relationship that for whatever reason they choose not to formalize with legal marriage; or c) Mom and Dad had Junior before they were married but are married now. If we see an increase in "out of wedlock births," does that mean more of a), b), or c) is happening? The only problem is if it represents more of a).

I would also point out that out-of-wedlock births are on the rise worldwide, so the increase in the black community can't be treated as an isolated instance.

And there's also this:

The math on Black out of wedlock births - Ta-Nehisi Coates - Entertainment - The Atlantic

In other words, no one disputes that 70 percent of black babies are born out of wedlock--or maybe they do, I never have. What we dispute are the reasons why. One notion that's gained quite a bit of currency is that over the last 40 years, black mothers have, for whatever reason, decided that they'd much rather be single mothers. But the facts don't back this up. As the data shows unmarried black women are having less, not more, kids then they were having 40 years ago. Furthermore, the number of unmarried black women having kids is declining, while the number of unmarried women--overall--having babies is increasing.

More to the point, the assertion that welfare is responsible for the increase in out-of-wedlock births is one with no data to support it.

2. A key to why ‘poverty’ ceased to decline almost as soon as the ‘War on Poverty’ began,

This is a statement contrary to fact, thus we need no "key" to understand it -- it's just wrong.

http://www.nal.usda.gov/ric/ricpubs/rural_development_chap8.pdf

Rates of poverty fell throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. The Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 and the Social Security Act of 1965 were the primary initiatives of the War on Poverty. During the decade after they were introduced, poverty rates fell to their lowest level in history: 11.1% in 1973 compared to 17.3% when the measures were introduced. A decade after is not "almost as soon as."

Poverty rates began rising again in the mid 1970s, clearly as a result of the worsening economy, though, not because of welfare.

None of the remaining points you make are any better. All of them depend either on assertion of facts which are wrong, or on dubious comparisons between things that are not in fact comparable, or on assumptions of causation when no evidence of causation exists.

Try to keep you points straight, Kimodo....

Fascism lets you keep your wealth and property as long as you do what they say. If you don't do what they say, they kill you and give it to someone they think who will do what they say with your wealth. They may or may not be a government employee.

A distinction between socialism with nary a difference. Government still controls all.

"...to seize the wealth of individuals..."

Learning and experience seem to play no role in the behavior of the Left...
...the definition of 'wealthy' changes from minute to minute...
...one would think that they's catch on to the fact that the insatiable
government wants ALL income.

From Medved's blog:
"The overall result would mean those earning less than $50,000 (and paying more in payroll taxes than income taxes, if they pay income tax at all) would see major reductions in their tax payments. But those earning $100,000 or more would see burdens sharply increased-- with limited benefit from payroll tax cuts (which apply only to the first $106,800 we earn) but major increases in income tax on every dollar."

Way the Packers are playing it could work out that way

No conflict there, although I can see why it would look that way at first glance. Single parenthood among blacks isn't increasing, but it did increase in the past. It is increasing worldwide, therefore the increase in the black community (which DID happen even though it ISN'T happening anymore) can't be treated as an isolated instance.

Clear now?

How come you dropped 'Kimodo'?

Nah....only for folks who speak English.

Location: New York Congressional District 9! Republican after 88 years!

Now, to your post:
Logic isn't a strong point with you, is it.
In fact, it hardly exists.

Now, pay attention...
if the Republicans are "brainwashed," are they also the "bloated rich"?

Or are they out to support other, unrelated folks?
Do you have a theory as to how that would come about?
Drugs in the drinking water?
Oh...the idea of putting drugs in the drinking water was left-wing progressive Dr. John Holdren, Obama's 'science czar.'
Was he behind this, too?

Or, if the "bloated rich" are one and the same as Republicans...
... they wouldn't have to be "brainwashed" to act in
their own self interest, would they?

Beginning to see how logic works?

So, sadly, your post doesn't make much sense....does it?
See, that's why when you cut yourself, you bleed crystal meth.


Time for you to go back to your job as hostess on a live bait barge.

There was nothing wrong with my English. If you still see a conflict, your failing is logical, not linguistic.
