Let us pray;
“Lord Jesus bring Kerry’s true racism out, (if it is so as we believe), to the surface. May it be exposed loudly and clearly to the public. Let the “N” word come from Kerry’s mouth before this election so that the public may know the truth about Kerry. Or Lord Jesus reveal his racism in another way; please Lord ‘just reveal it’. May the black community and everyone else see what Kerry is about,turn from him and not vote for him. Amen and thank you Lord Jesus!”

My comment is this.

Why do so many blacks and patronizing whites support an absolute fraud like kerry or clinton? These people only spout their support when needing votes. Then they walk away from the supporters, but show up every 2-4 years to love all. My family in lala land Minnesota support all this “we love everyone, support minorities, unfortunates, and public schools”, but put their kids into private schools, just as the Jesse Jackson’s, Gore, Clinton, and some of the other party.

(k)erry and those others pander for the black vote, but are so racist that they don’t give credit to the fine/hard-working black/others that succeed! I live in a neighborhood of about 85% black.

So far, I’ve not been mugged, attacked, or even been threatened by these “stereotypical” robbers and non-workers. :):). We’re mostly retired/active duty military people who get along very well. Something kerry and his group are totally unaware of!

Bless you for your thoughts and writng.

I’m sorry, it wasn’t intended to be an insult. It’s just that when the rubber meets the road, most will choose the gubmint.

In my human wisdom, I see neither problem abating soon. Pray ceaselessly for our nation.

I think that was pretty uncalled-for. The princliple of limited government has yet to be seriously discredited, and we accuse those who defend it with hypocrisy. And as for the government *never* constraining itself? While it is true that the government in Washington permitted and abetted things that I will not attempt to justify here, the fact remains that until relatively recently it fulfilled all of its powers and obligations with a minimum of bother to Joe Citizen. And this without significant deficits or debts (remember, this took place for the most part in the days of the gold standard, when merely ‘printing more money’ was not an option).

Chances are you will make yourself available to using some government program in the future.

“Let he who has not benefitted from government subsidies cast the first stone..”
I benefitted from subsidies in the past, so what. That doesn’t mean I can’t look back and say; ‘know what? We’d be better off w/o these gimme programs’.

It doesn’t, but those are few. Many of the same people who whine and complain about “dependence on government” actually do so themselves. Yet they want to slam the Black community?

So true Dark Star. Some people are willing to slam the black community while feeding from the government trough profitably. Many point the finger at a black welfare mother, but maintain a mysterious silence when it comes to corporate welfare, such as trade quotas or subsidises to rich corporate farmers (mostly white). Many shake their heads at those Negroes in poverty, but fail to point out the comfortable sinecures and jobs obtained by the white dominated bureaucracies that have arisen (and constantly expanded) to “solve” the problem.

And I disagree with Andy on the government constraining itself. It never has. In fact the government (at various levels) has itself been rather unrestrained throughout US history when it comes to subsidizing favored groups. It was government after all that subsidized big cotton, sugar and tobacco barons in the old South by legalizing and enforcing a system of cheap labor, via black slavery.

It was government after all that indirectly subsidized white employment by creating and enforcing a system of Jim Crow that effectively locked Black, Hispanic and Asian competition out of numerous fields for more than half a century- the original affirmative action in Ameircan history.

It was government after all that recklessly dispossessed tribes of Native Americans despite “treaties” to the contrary, and handed millions of acres of that confiscated land over to the railroads, sometimes dispossessing smaller white farmers as well.

So again, before folks slam the Negro for government dependence they would do well to examine the whole record. Let he who has not benefitted from government subsidies cast the first stone..

I’m glad that you made it clear with the latest post and I’m with you on that. For a while there I thot you were taking issue only with fairness vs race-based handouts. In that sense, I have no issue with the “fairness” of certain handouts, while I’ll readily slam the other as mentioned previously.

In a “perfect” world, there would be no handouts of any sort, because no matter how charitable they may be in intent, unintended consequences pop up requiring additional legislation and on and on it goes. In and of itself, the law has become big business.

Our government should constrain itself to the business of governance as outlined in the Constitution and get out of the parenting business. Yet, much of what Washington does these days is unconstitutional. This abuse of authority goes on because we as a nation have forgotten basic truths and allowed politicians to bribe us with powers that they were never given in the 1st place.
