Black Republicans

[percysunshine]

You mean the free phones that started way before Oblama was president. I had a Bush phone years ago when I could not work because of health issues...I believe it was 2005 when I had my phone...

Are you telling us that Obama took credit for something Bush did?

Holy cow!

.

Are you a Hindu? i'm telling people like you that the phone service for the poor has been around longer than Bush or Oblama, but don't let me interfere with your myopic attempts at political humor..

Myopic political humor is one of my strong points.

And free phone service is an epicenter for government corruption.

Liberal policies and affirmative action programs are the reason for social mobility in this country, especially among Americans that got left behind.

Conservative policies have given us wage stagnation, pollution and billionaires.

Curing discrimination through discrimination!

LOL, sure it did. The primary discriminator was government. Jim Crow, school segregation, they were government.

In business we are totally bigots, we care only about green...

Yeah, nothing better than denying reality to earn a profit....

Great sloganeering.

But it's utter nonsense, of course, as capitalism is the great economic mobilizer of history, while the neo-liberal fascism of the Progressive era is the disease of the welfare state and crony capitalism. In other words, capitalism is the engine that could in spite of the corruption of corporatism and the wealth redistribution schemes of the progressive's income tax system, the planned economics of artificially inflated wages and prices that prolonged the Great Depression by more than a decade, the War on Poverty that devastated the community of "those ******* voting Democrat for the next 200 years" (LBJ), the Keynesianism of the decade of Stagflation, and the moral decay of cultural Marxism.

But then Reagan came along and the Republic was granted a reprieve, a twenty-year stay of historically unprecedented economic growth against the unrelenting swell of planned economics. Lefty's narrative is that of the zero-sum-game mentality, the stuff that delusions are made of. Capitalism is the in-spite-of engine of economic opportunity and prosperity.

But lefty will not be disabused of his fantasy, in spite of the obvious failures of Bush's flirtation with the old corporative paradigm and the on-going stagnation of Obamanomics: the overt resurrection of Keynesianism, and the corporate welfare of crony capitalism on steroids.

As for the so-called black community of America, yes, indeed, there are more black conservatives than ever before and that component of the political culture is growing, while at the same time, a significant number of blacks who voted for Obama have become disillusioned by the predictable outcomes of his policies. But that's not enough. Real conservatives must take back the Senate and the presidency as they hold the House, that they might, once again, educate America about the benefits of capitalism. And they must begin with the repeal of ObamaCare.

Government corruption is based on free phone service, what was the excuse before Clinton and the GOP congress passed the bill authorizing phone service to the poor? Which was a plan on land lines and eventually led to cell phones in 2008..

 

[Bush92]

It was not that way when AA was enacted, so it has done it's job...Time to move on...

Bakke vs. University of California Board of Regents came down in 1978. Affirmative action laws had come into play only a few years before. Affirmative Action was just another liberal political ploy that was good on the campaign trail but useless in practice.

When were you a black man looking for work in 1980?

There it is, "The Race Card." Wasn't Jimmy Carter President in 1980? Didn't Democrats control Both Houses of Congress in 1980? Didn't Democrats have almost exclusive control of the Congress from 1932 to 1994? So what's your point?

So the welfare office could call them and tell them to get a job.

No, government was the primary force that abolished legal discrimination. Government actions, btw, that most conservatives would like to roll back or end entirely.

Government = more wasted tax dollars and restrictions on businesses that create jobs and hire people of all races. Again, the more Blacks that achieve economic success, the more Black Republicans you will see. They have lots of pressure from within the Black community. A successful Black who is a conservative can expect to face rejection and labeling such as "Uncle Tom".

No, free phone service is one example. It is impossible to control the corruption at that level. Go within one mile of any casino in the US, and there will be more than one business which will exchange phone minutes for gambling credits at the casino.


btw, you asked if I was Hindu. An extensive internet search failed to turn up a single picture of a pig with a red dot on its forehead.

Back in 1984' after Reagan had been re-elected in a huge landslide , one of Tip O'Neil's colleagues in the House said to him, "I'm afraid we have made our grand kids a bunch of Republicans." This was reference to his belief that the New Deal and Great Society programs were responsible for one generation lifting out of poverty, and the next growing up middle class. If that be the case, then can we not expect more Black Republicans in the next 20 years? The fallacy in the Congressmans thinking was that liberal policies and affirmative action programs actually lift people up the economic ladder. I feel what happened in the 1980's was that people realized that they had achieved success through hard work and self reliance...not big government. I have a feeling that over time millions of successful Blacks will realize that it was their hard work that gave them success, not liberal Democrats. Ergo, an increase in Black Republicans.

What helped African Americans out of poverty was the opportunity for advancement through Affirmative Action. That program required that minorities have the same opportunities as everyone else.

The program worked, minorities were given access to better schools and better career opportunities.

Their own hard work came into play once they actually got those opportunities. The door was held open to them finally and they wisely made the most from that opportunity.

Had the conservatives gotten their way minorities would still be the lower class and wouldn't have the same opportunities they have today.

Conservatives have been trying to eliminate Affirmative Action for decades and now that they have control of the supreme court, they've actually been able to remove some Affirmative Action laws. Especially from colleges.

You are stating that Blacks can't compete with whites due to inferiority. Most of my black friends hate affirmative action. They state it doesn't give a level playing field. They says those hired under affirmative action are subjected to continual false belief by others they couldn't have accomplished their job position or acceptance into college without it. Once again being subjected to feelings of inferiority. Guess who that benefits? Dems. Keep them feeling inferior. Remember Biden's comments? What about Clinton's? That tells you the mindset of the leading Dems. They have fooled so many for so long to the detriment of many.

 

[Redfish]

The only people that are helped by big government liberal welfare disenfranchisement policies are Democrats running for office who need a never ending pool of victims to vote for them. "Keep em down and keep emDemocrat."

Yep, follow the example set by LBJ. Free stuff buys votes. Keep em poor so they need free stuff. Its amazes me that the libs on this site cannot grasp that simple concept.

Could you please provide the date of the last big financial crash and then in 25 words or less, please explain why it happened?

OK, but first tell me who wrote and sponsored Dodd/Frank

Utter tripe. Conservatives have opposed Affirmative Action and welfare schemes precisely because they do not work. Instead, they foster dependency and entrenched poverty. What conservatives did support was the Civil Rights movement of the 50's and 60's insofar as it served to dismantle institutional racism and end the violations of political rights. The rest is the bread and circuses of Democratic policies aimed at buying votes, rather than encouraging blacks to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps like every other peoples have done in American history.

LOL, a Marxist lecturing me about reality. That's priceless

 

[Bush92]

This is exactly why successful people are rugged individualist and do not lean on government to correct perceived wrongs in the economy. This is also why more and more minorities that are empowers by capitalism will become Republicans or Libertarians.

Wasn't free land line just for emergency uses?

 

[Bush92]

Most of New Deal was just for emergency use. Under LBJ the United States applied welfare to an economy that was not in crisis.

Americans don't get left behind. Some just can't keep up. Others are temporally slowed in traffic but the rewards of hard work and sacrifice are within reach.

-Geaux

I like that!

And President Taft agreed.


President Taft, an August 1, 1912 speech in the White House:

“[T]he fruits of energy, courage, enterprise, attention to duty, hard work, thrift, providence, restrains of appetite and passion will continue to have their reward under the present system…and laziness, lack of attention, lack of industry, the yielding to appetite and passion, carelessness, dishonesty, and disloyalty will ultimately find their own punishment in the world here.”

The democrat party is masterful of over promising and under delivering and apparently a lot of folks buy their propaganda and EVERY civil rights bill being opposed by democrats and supported by Republicans blacks switched to the party of slavery, go figure.

The Jews, with what you read on these boards and the treatment that Israel recieves from democrats why in the hell would any Jew vote democrat, yet they do.

Women, after the treatment Hillary received from the democrats and how any Republican woman is treated women still vote democrat.

With how the left "talks" about the 1 percenters all the really rich gravatate to the democrat party.

Really amazing bit of propanda, too bad the Republicans can't figure out a counter.

First thing they need to do is expose food stamps and public housing for what it is..."a huge scam." If the fed really investigated they would find that well in excess of 50% of welfare recipients are gaming the system. Democrats will fire back about "evil, mean, the Grinch that Stole Christmas" Republicans, but independents who pay taxes would be appalled. Welfare exist for Democrats to buy votes.

50% gaming the system? How do you know this? Where's your proof, or do you just know?

What you're saying is that blacks are too stupid to know that republicans know what's best for them, but being stupid, they vote democrat?
