Breaking The Promise of America

[Sunni Man]

That's Trump winning for America....not for the party, you dunce.

Democrats do not understand that concept, and find it offensive. ...

 

[Dragonlady]

But Roosevelt did what Democrats always do….put their political future ahead of what benefits Americans.

Republicans sometimes do that also.

But Democrats live to destroy America and turn it into a 3rd world banana republic. ...

Clearly true.


Winning is all that counts for the Left....not what is best for the nation, or the character of its people.

Where do you come up with this bullshit? It’s your clown of a President who’s obsessed with winning.

That's Trump winning for America....not for the party, you dunce.

You have no room to call anyone a dunce. You can’t even make a post without copying or pasting other people’s ideas and thought. No thoughtful insightful posts from the brain of Politically Clueless.

I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt here since I haven’t seen any evidence whatsoever that you even have a brain. No critical thinking skills, no independent ideas. Just cut and paste.

Even your insults are cut and pasted. How clueless is that.

What about this "promise of American"?

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! "

We're breaking the shit outta this one.

Clean up your language, dunce.


The Emma Lazarus poem was published in 1883, when immigrants came to America to work, not for handouts.

If you don't think today's immigrants come to work, you're as ignorant as a doorstop.

Why do you lying low-lives always say 'immigrants' when the issue is 'illegal immigrants.'

It is said most of the illegals reported to the border and were turned away. After being turned away, many crossed between border stations and then turned themselves in on this side of the border seeking asylum. If true, and I'm sure this is verifiable, then your heartless lack of understanding and compassion is evident in the pompous piety displayed by the cartoon.

Who’s Taking College Spots From Top Asian Americans? Privileged Whites.
by Daniel Golden

The Trump administration is preparing to investigate whether Asian Americans are treated unfairly as a result of admissions policies intended to boost the chances of other racial minorities.

More than a decade ago, I chatted with Asian-American seniors at Hunter College High School in New York City about their college admission prospects. One young woman told me she had scored 1530 out of a maximum 1600 on the SAT. When I congratulated her, she said that her score was what she and her friends called “an Asian fail.” She predicted it wouldn’t be enough to get into her dream school, Yale. She was right. The next day, she learned that Yale had rejected her.

I remembered our conversation when I read last week that the Justice Department plans to investigate a complaint by Asian-American organizations that Harvard discriminates against them by giving an edge to other racial minorities. My immediate response was: right victim, wrong culprit.

Asian Americans are indeed treated unfairly in admissions, but affirmative action is a convenient scapegoat for those who seek to pit minority groups against each other. A more logical target would be “the preferences of privilege,” as I called them in my 2006 book, “The Price of Admission.”

These policies elevate predominantly white, affluent applicants: children of alumni, big non-alumni donors, politicians and celebrities, as well as recruited athletes in upper-crust sports like golf, sailing, horseback riding, crew and even, at some colleges, polo. The number of whites enjoying the preferences of privilege, I concluded, outweighed the number of minorities aided by affirmative action.

By giving more slots to already advantaged students, these preferences displace more deserving candidates from other backgrounds, including Asian Americans and middle-class whites, without achieving the goals of affirmative action, such as diversity and redressing historical discrimination.

Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, has become the poster boy for this practice. As I reported in my book, Harvard accepted Kushner soon after receiving a $2.5 million pledge from his father, a real-estate developer and New York University graduate. While sources at Jared’s high school told me that he wasn’t near the top of his class, and didn’t always take the most challenging courses, a spokeswoman for Kushner Companies has described him as “an excellent student” and denied that his father’s gift was intended to improve his chances of admission.

In my book, I described Asian Americans as “the new Jews.” Like Jews before the 1960s, whose Ivy League enrollment was restricted by quotas, Asian Americans are overrepresented at selective colleges compared with their U.S. population, but are shortchanged relative to their academic performance.

Much as Ivy League administrators once justified anti-Jewish policies with ethnic stereotypes, so Asian Americans, I found, were typecast in college admissions offices. Asked why the Massachusetts Institute of Technology had turned down one high-achieving Korean-American youth, the then dean of admissions told me it was possible that he “looked like a thousand other Korean kids with the exact same profile of grades and activities and temperament. My guess is that he just wasn’t involved or interesting enough to surface to the top.”

My research indicated that college admissions officers tended to compare stellar Asian-American candidates to each other, rather than to the rest of the applicant pool. The result at some universities amounted to an informal quota system, with the percentage of Asian Americans admitted as freshman changing little from year to year. The proportion at Harvard, which long hovered below 20 percent, reached 22.2 percent for the class of 2021. Who takes the places of the spurned Asians? As far back as 1990, an investigation of Harvard by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights pointed to recipients of so-called “white affirmative action.”

Harvard admitted Asian-American applicants “at a significantly lower rate than white applicants” despite their “slightly stronger” SAT scores and grades, it found. Accounting for most of the admissions gap was “preference given to legacies and recruited athletes — groups that are predominantly white.” In that era, Asian Americans composed 15.7 percent of all Harvard applicants but only 3.5 percent of alumni children and 4.1 percent of recruited athletes.

Unlike affirmative action, the preferences of privilege aren’t inherently race-based, which makes it tougher to challenge them legally.

The promise of America is ‘Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.’

Not if Liberals/Progressives have their way.




1.It’s not the Left doesn’t want folks to be happy….it’s that they don’t understand how to get there.

“Earned success is the secret to meaningful happiness. The government can improve your net worth with a check, but it cannot improve your self-worth.” Jonah Goldberg

Or, maybe they do understand it….but just don’t care.




2. And, if one imagines that the Liberal welfare system is designed to end poverty, well….a half-century of failure to do that identifies one as a dolt. On the other hand, raiding the treasury has proved an immense success at what it was actually designed to do: generate Democrat votes.



3. Duplicity and Democrats…..synonymous???
"The lessons of history … show conclusively that continued dependence upon relief induces a spiritual and moral disintegration fundamentally destructive to the national fiber. To dole out relief in this way is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit."
These searing words about Depression-era welfare are from Franklin Roosevelt's 1935 State of the Union Address




But Roosevelt did what Democrats always do….put their political future ahead of what benefits Americans.

Economist Jim Powell, in “FDR’s Folly,” notes that a disproportionate amount of FDR’s relief and public works spending “went not to the poorest states such as the South, but to western states were people were better off , apparently because there were ‘swing’ states which could yield FDR more votes in the next election.”



And, of course, the Democrat demand for illegal immigration is based on the very same design.

So, you want to have the poor, sick, disabled, children to starve & die in the street.

You are certainly a Trumpette.

Economist Jim Powell, in “FDR’s Folly,” notes that a disproportionate amount of FDR’s relief and public works spending “went not to the poorest states such as the South, but to western states were people were better off , apparently because there were ‘swing’ states which could yield FDR more votes in the next election.”



And, of course, the Democrat demand for illegal immigration is based on the very same design.

So, you want to have the poor, sick, disabled, children to starve & die in the street.

You are certainly a Trumpette.

Let's check and compare:


1... in today’s recovery — the slowest in the modern era going back to 1947 — private capital investment has lagged badly. ... so has the jobs situation, with 92 million dropping out of the workforce altogether. A labor-participation rate of 62.8% and an employment-to-population rate of 58% are historic lows indicative of the anemic jobs recovery.

The promise of America is ‘Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.’

Not if Liberals/Progressives have their way.




1.It’s not the Left doesn’t want folks to be happy….it’s that they don’t understand how to get there.

“Earned success is the secret to meaningful happiness. The government can improve your net worth with a check, but it cannot improve your self-worth.” Jonah Goldberg

Or, maybe they do understand it….but just don’t care.




2. And, if one imagines that the Liberal welfare system is designed to end poverty, well….a half-century of failure to do that identifies one as a dolt. On the other hand, raiding the treasury has proved an immense success at what it was actually designed to do: generate Democrat votes.



3. Duplicity and Democrats…..synonymous???
"The lessons of history … show conclusively that continued dependence upon relief induces a spiritual and moral disintegration fundamentally destructive to the national fiber. To dole out relief in this way is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit."

And along the way, President Trump even outdid his own expectations and slashed at least 11 major legacy items of former President Barack Obama, including cracking down on the open border, slowing recognition of communist Cuba and effectively killing Obamacare by ending the mandate that everyone have health insurance or face a tax."
