We elected a black president.
Turned out skin color was a poor choice in deciding same, didn't it.
Skin color was not a factor but it did turn out that the man was a good choice.
Jobs, economic recovery, stock market and more have flourished under his leadership. Meanwhile, the Repubs have done nothing but gerrymander, obstruct and vacation.
It seems incredible that the President's obvious successes are so easily dismissed by the Conservatives. I think it means that the Conservatives would have brought us more of what they left in 2008, but we would have to excuse the Conservative presidency for all crimes foreign and domestic. These may include starting expensive wars and introducing vile methods to conduct them with, again, foreign and domestic.
But this thread is what the Conservatives think we should stop, for the good of the poor, both Black and White. The Conservatives think that aid to women and children is something the poor would be better off without. SNAP benefits and the aid to the elderly and infirmed is holding these folks back from their potential. More police support (without, hopefully, the militarization of that support) is something to be withheld from the poor for their own good. Surely concealed carry permits and more guns on the mean streets could only mean greater safety for the public.
Conservatives think that public housing units as well as Section Eight rent subsidized units are really oppressing the poor. Without these safety nets, more of the privately rented properties would be, no doubt, decent, safe and sanitary without the hampering intrusion of housing inspections.
Yes sir! The Conservatives aren't wishing to take anything away from the poor that is not absolutely necessary. Things like food, shelter and clothing.
It's for the good of the poor, doncha know.
