There isn't a dumbocrat on this board who has lived a life 1/10th as difficult as Michael Oher. He went from extreme poverty, to multi-millionare. And he did it without government. In fact, he achieved what he was able to achieve through his own hard work and through the charitable actions of free-willed Americans.
In his book "I Beat The Odds", he writes: Its true that we cant help the circumstances were born into and some of us start out in a much tougher place than other people. But just because we started there doesnt mean we have to end there.

Lessee...he went to public schools (that's government help)
Was in and out of the foster care system (that's government help), put there by the actions of child protective services (that's government help).
He went to the University of Mississippi on a scholarship, (which is at least partially government help).
He drives to work each day on public highways (that's government help) and when the team flies to a game, they do so under the guidance of air traffic controllers (that's government help).
Need I go on?
Don't you have all those things? Don't we all? Why doesn't everyone do what he did?
um, because everyone isn't 6'4", 315 lbs?
just a guess, fuckwit
