The Evil Side to Progressive Politics…Unintended Consequences. Who Is Responsible?

                The really awful thing about being a two faced hypocrite in the 21^st century is that you’re probably on video saying something you can’t back up with facts…so you’re forced to utter stupidities that will haunt you.  One such utterance was made famous when Secretary Clinton was trying to show off how she was empathetic and caring, by saying “It takes a village to raise a child”, an African proverb she borrowed to say that it’s ok to be a single mother, because your community/government is obligated to help you raise your child.  Well, let’s see how that’s working out.  Flash mobs involving dozens to hundreds of black youths robbing businesses with impunity…where are their parents?  Fourteen year old black girls beating students, pedestrians and anyone else they can find in a McDonalds at night…where are their parents?   Schools in America failing to educate because they are committed first to forcing social fairness policies and blaming society’s  ills on those who choose to be productive, while showing the next generation of welfare bums how to fill out government forms for welfare, food stamps and housing vouchers…where are the parents?  It looks to me that the fabric of American historical hegemonic culture is unraveling and the American Dream in the inner cities is dead; replaced with a general acceptance of an infinite cycle of poverty and imaginary repression.  This is the direct result of Progressive Politics, endorsed by the media, politicians and worst of all, the supposed leaders of the minority community who live lavish lifestyles including bling, hookers and drugs…the new American dream for inner city youth being raised by a village of idiots.  It isn’t surprising though, as we are in our 5^th decade on the war on poverty…with nothing to show for it but the graft and waste that comes with every government program ever tried.  Perhaps a new path is needed…

                George Will wrote in 2005 that there are three rules to escape poverty.  Graduate High School, don’t have children before marriage, and don’t get married in your teens.  Let us look at this in terms of the war on poverty.  In 2005, 68.2% of black children born in the US were born  to single moms.   What “War on Poverty” law is addressing this?  More welfare for more children?   For all of those Progressives who think that government action is needed to combat poverty, would you demand sterilization programs for black women and men?  No…instead you help Planned Parenthood set up abortion on demand in low income neighborhoods.  That’s just as good, and since the rest of the country pays for it in taxes, it isn’t a burden on the already poor.   The US spends roughly $1 TRILLION a year on poverty, which according to census numbers means that every poor person should get $27,000.  A family of three would clear $81,000.  Solved, no more poor.  Right?  Looks like the more money we throw at the problem, the more it costs the next year for the same failed results. 

                What George Will and others didn’t know in 2005 was that in just 4 short years, we would have our first black president in the USA and he would be the guiding light, the shining example for poor people everywhere to get themselves on a path to prosperity.  Only that isn’t happening.  Black unemployment is the highest in the US, and there are parks all over the country full of people who think corporate greed is bad…they even blog about it from their IPhones.   Why is this happening?  What is the reason that the great Obama hasn’t inspired “his people”?  After all, he’s constantly ranting about staying in school, not having children out of wedlock…etc.  Isn’t he?  If eating lobster and vacationing and playing more golf than Tiger Woods is the new American Dream, why aren’t inner city kids emulating Obama?  Maybe everyone is too focused on his NCAA basketball picks, or his disappointment at the NBA season delays…or maybe…just maybe…Obama knows that  to be successful takes more than filing an unemployment claim, or suing for discrimination when you don’t get what you want.  He knows it takes powerful executives in many industries getting sweetheart government contracts and loans in order to get ahead.  He knows that having a stooge as Attorney General means that you won’t get investigated.  He knows that no matter how much he wants to solve poverty, it can’t be done from the President’s desk.  It takes drive, determination and hard work…who exemplifies that?

                Enter Herman Cain.  Black, conservative and unashamedly successful through many years of hard work, determination and discipline.  Clarence Thomas…black conservative and successful through many years of hard work, study and shunning handouts.   JC Watts, Walter Williams and others have become successful as well by their habitual work ethic and dedication to NOT being on welfare…thankfully the Media and Liberal elitists embrace them for their courage and their willingness to be good examples for blacks throughout the country.  Are you kidding me…these guys are called Uncle Toms, Political Coons, and every possible bigoted name in the book…because they believe in self reliance, not government reliance.   It’s the same hypocrisy that allows these buffoons like Maddow, Olberman and Wallace to spout things like the Tea Party is racist because it wants to stop welfare and handouts.  I contend that it is those same mental midgets on the left who are the racists.  If there was a Hitleresque plan devised in secret to keep the poor in their lot…it could not be more successful than what we are doing now.  Somewhere there is a Neo-Nazi white supremacist applauding the liberal big government ideology of treating blacks like they aren’t good enough to work hard and progress. 

                This same theory of government intervention has been tried on poverty, drug abuse, health care, education, energy…and so on.  Have they solved ANYTHING????  Please name one gov’t policy that has led to the eradication of the said problem.  Even if it helps in the short term…what ends up happening is long term corruption and graft seeps into the programs to make the whole  program more of a waste of taxpayer money, and then the taxpayer is called a pejorative when they suggest we get rid of the failing overspending program.  Who is more at fault?  The politician who doesn’t react quick enough to stave off criticism from self important blowhard rappers like Kanye West’s “Bush doesn’t like black people.”…or the politician who repeatedly secures money for pork projects worth hundreds of millions in New Orleans…but NEVER fixes their levee system that many said was not up to code?   If New Orleans is indeed a “Chocolate city”…then the leadership in it is about as realistic as the Easter Bunny.  But we can’t blame the Easter Bunny for poverty, so let’s blame those who aren’t poor…they had to have cheated the people while playing within the rules the government set up.  Let’s equate success in America with cheating and greed, then when the frothy rabid mouths of the hungry and poor  are ready to riot…let’s draw them a map to the rich people’s homes so they can use scare tactics and mob mentality to show how the people are fed up with being poor and need more government help to succeed…and the cycle begins again.   The only problem with this method is that the rulemakers and the rule following bankers are on the same side of the problem, in fact one of the largest donators to the political parties in power are the same people vilified for their greed.  What about not voting for the candidate that raises the most money?  What about having all these unwashed messes organizing on the lawn of the White House instead of Wall Street?  What about spending the afternoon looking for a job instead of camping out bitching about how your education at a university hasn’t prepared you for work in the real world?   How about marching up and down the street of the university deans and teachers?  Talk about biting the hand that feeds you…that would be like biting the hand that taught you that you can’t survive without them.  Now that’s progressive.
