Are liberals the most predicatable creatures on earth? It seems so. Anyone who points out the stupidity and idiocy of their thought process and results of their policies is immediately attacked savagely with the usual screaming and propaganda assault from the liberal MSM like the NYT and MSNBC. The liberal media don’t like that uppity negro – Ben Carson – daring to dance to a different tune regarding black suppression and the welfare state policies that have enslaved blacks in poverty and self pity. The nerve of this guy, being raised in a poor neighborhood by a single mother and becoming a world reknowned surgeon, without using the race card. The leg tinglers at MSNBC and the rest of the liberal MSM are on a mission to destroy the good doctor before he can gain traction as a political candidate. The liberal lynch mob want to silence him the way they silenced Bill Cosby for speaking the truth about black culture and the violence it incites. Liberals are the most predictable of beasts.

Ben Carson endures predictable liberal assault

Sunday, April 14,2013

 Dr. Ben Carson stepped into the national spotlight in February, when, speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast to an audience that included President Barack Obama, he openly criticized the president’s approach to health care and his overall management of the nation’s economy.

Carson, who is director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, is a hero to many. His rise from a Detroit ghetto to a life of accomplishment and distinction is a story of American ideals on steroids.

Those ideals say that America is about merit, not circumstance. Your life, your achievements are the result of what you do and how you live, not where you came from.

The hard history of blacks in America has always made it a challenge for them to accept this credo. Many still carry a sense that those ideals may be true for whites, but they never were true, and still aren’t true, for blacks.

So in this context, Carson’s story is particularly important. It’s making liberals nervous, and the attacks on him are starting.

He’s now pulled out, under pressure, from giving the commencement address at Johns Hopkins University because some are unhappy with how, in an interview on Fox, he expressed his views regarding the importance of maintaining the integrity of traditional marriage.

Blacks have known about Carson for years. I gave his book, “Gifted Hands,” to my daughters to read when they were little girls. A highly acclaimed made-for-TV movie about his life aired in 2009, with Carson played by Oscar-winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr.

But this story of personal responsibility, hard work and traditional values is becoming a political story. It is becoming political because Ben Carson’s American dream story, according to the liberal script, is not supposed to work for blacks.

Carson is the biggest threat to liberals since Bill Cosby got out of line at an NAACP banquet in 2004 in Washington, D.C.

Cosby had the temerity to deliver tough, critical talk about what too many blacks are doing with the freedom that civil rights activists of the 1960’s fought to achieve.

He contrasted the Sixties generation with the new generation of black youths sitting in jail: “These are not political criminals. These are people going around stealing Coca-Cola. People getting shot in the back of the head over a piece of pound cake.”

Cosby attributed the chaos to a breakdown in values, family and personal responsibility. It’s the last thing the NAACP crowd wanted to hear that night and Cosby paid a price. He was vilified and marginalized until he backed off.

Liberals never take on what black conservatives actually say because they can’t. So the attacks become personal.

Trillions of tax dollars have been poured into black communities over the last half-century, producing virtually no change in the incidence of black poverty.

Yet, Carson, through diligence and traditional values, achieved on his own what those trillions of dollars of government programs were supposed to deliver.

Liberal black writer Ta-Nehisi Coates put the cards on the table in an article about Cosby that appeared in The Atlantic magazine in 2008. The typical black conservative votes for Democrats, he notes, “not out of love for abortion rights … but because he feels…. that the modern-day GOP draws on support of people who hate him.”

Stoking paranoia about racism has always been the strategy of liberals to fend off the political threat of conservative values that so many church-going blacks embrace.

Predictably, Coates has produced a New York Times column on Carson, reducing this great man to the usual caricature of a black empty suit manipulated by white conservatives.

Ben Carson is an accomplished and wealthy man. Americans, certainly black Americans, need him in public life more than he needs to be in public life. Let’s hope the left wing and the haters of traditional morality don’t succeed in making him conclude it’s not worth it.

DETROIT – PREVIEW OF THE AMERICAN COLLAPSE

Al Sharpton and his free shit army soldiers are on the march calling the black man chosen to try and save Detroit from its spiral into bankruptcy an Uncle Tom. I wonder what they call Star Parker, a black woman who says outrageous things like this:

“The more that human lives are governed by compulsion and entitlement rather than freedom, choice and personal responsibility, the outcomes are uniformly undesirable.”

Detroit and the top 10 poorest shithole urban kill zones in the country have been run by Democrats for decades. Their entitlement policies, rampant corruption, and utter failure in educating its children have made them unlivable for civilized human beings. Union thugs run the show. High taxes, high crime rates, and ignorant savages impregnating ignorant sluts has resulted in Detroits all over America.

These are the very same policies being implemented by Obama and his minions across the country. Detroit is unfixable. The $14 billion of unfunded liabilites will be defaulted on. This will happen in every urban municipality in this country. It will eventually happen in the entire country. Numbers do matter. Personal responsibility does matter. Being able to add or write a sentence does matter. Detroit is only the beginning.

Detroit’s financial debacle holds lessons

Friday, March 22,2013

We are now hearing the usual voices of protest in Detroit in the wake of Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder appointing an outside expert to take over financial management of the near-bankrupt city.

Detroit is the largest city in American history to be seized in this fashion and turned over to an outside manager.

The city’s reported deficit is $327 million and long-term liabilities are in the range of $14 billion.

But no matter to the unions, politicians and bureaucrats who have been at the helm for years as the city has spiraled into the depths of the black hole in which it now finds itself. These interest groups, which have been the driving force behind this fiscal travesty, have one interest: to keep their respective beds feathered. Citizens and public welfare be damned.

So they cry foul when adult supervision is sent in to take on the formidable rescue task.

The man Snyder has put in charge, Kevin Orr, is a high-powered Washington, D.C., black attorney who, according to USA Today, “has extensive experience in municipal finances, public infrastructure projects, public pension matters and litigation.”

Al Sharpton’s man in Detroit, the Rev. Charles Williams II, has called Orr an “Uncle Tom.”

The travesty now taking place in Detroit should be carefully watched by all Americans. This is not an exception to the rule, but rather just the latest case study of a pathology dragging down the whole nation. And it’s a pathology for which low-income minority Americans are paying the dearest price.

Walter Williams, a George Mason University economics professor, has noted that the common denominator of the nation’s 10 poorest cities with populations over 250,000 is that for decades they all have been controlled by liberal, Democratic mayors, the majority of which have been black. Detroit is No. 1 on the list, with the largest share of residents living in poverty.

Detroit’s former mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick, son of former congresswoman and Congressional Black Caucus member Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, is now in jail awaiting sentencing after being convicted on 24 counts of running a criminal enterprise out of the mayor’s office.

The point is that we need to discern a rule of thumb here: The more that human lives are governed by compulsion and entitlement rather than freedom, choice and personal responsibility, the outcomes are uniformly undesirable.

Compulsion and entitlement — meaning liberal government and union power — means less service, less efficiency, more fraud, corruption and waste, and insensitivity to changes in the marketplace.

If we are going to save our cities, we need to get back to what built them in the first place. Freedom, enterprise and entrepreneurship.

It took a hurricane and a flood to wake up and turn around the basket case that was New Orleans. Ray Nagin, New Orleans’ mayor during Katrina, who blamed everyone but himself for the debacle that occurred, in January was indicted on 21 counts of corruption.

New Orleans is now undergoing a renaissance. The public school system was turned over to a charter operator and the number of failing schools has dropped and test scores are improving.

Low taxes and a new spirit of entrepreneurship, spurred by such imaginative initiatives as The Idea Village entrepreneurship hub, have kept unemployment in New Orleans at less than two-thirds the national average.

Let’s get going with ideas like urban enterprise zones — championed by the late Congressman Jack Kemp and now by economist Arthur Laffer — and give preferential tax treatment to employers and employees in blighted urban areas.

Abolish the minimum wage in these areas and give kids a chance at entry-level jobs and learning critical job skills.

The possibilities are only limited by our courage and imagination. But only one theme will save our large, urban cities and their poor minority citizens.

Get them out from under political and union control and restore freedom, competition and entrepreneurship.

BLACK PEOPLE & GUN CONTROL

Some interesting facts in this article by a black woman about gun control and black people.  There are 5 times as many white people in this country as black people. From the U.S. Census Bureau there are approximately 80 million white households and 15 million black households. According to the article 42% of white households and 16% of black households own a gun. That means there are 33.6 million white households with a gun and 2.4 million black households with a gun. That means there are 14 times as many white households than black households with a gun. The article also states that blacks are 6 times more likely die by homicide and 8 times more likely to commit a homicide than white people, even though they are only one-fifth of the total white population. Obama’s efforts to disarm white people will not reduce the number of black homicides. It will just increase the number of white people susceptible to crime and the DHS.

Obama should be focused on why black people murder each other at such an alarming rate. But that isn’t his agenda. He doesn’t want to fix the real problems in this country because it’s the liberal do-gooder entitlement policies that have created the urban kill zones. It’s the liberals who are responsible for the thousands of black people murdered every year by other black people.  

Preserve gun rights, save black rights

Sunday, February 24,2013

My organization, CURE — the Center for Urban Renewal and Education — recently sponsored a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington to bring attention to the importance of rigorously defending the right of all Americans, guaranteed under the Second Amendment of our Constitution, to own a gun.

Our event provided a forum for black leaders — from the world of politics and public policy in Washington, from the business community, from academia, and from the clergy — to express their deep concern about current efforts to limit our God-given and constitutional individual right of self-defense.

Why would an organization like CURE, whose mission focuses on the relevance of American values of faith and freedom to minorities, be so concerned about guns?

Because, as conservative black Americans, we know that the soul of America is kept alive with the free flow of the oxygen of freedom. And we know that when that flow is interrupted in any way, the group that suffers first and most are blacks.

New gun control initiatives coming from our president and from Democrats in Congress to respond to a highly publicized tragedy by wanting to expand the power of government and limit the freedom of citizens comes as no surprise.

There is no problem facing America today that liberals do not believe should be solved by more government and less freedom. And liberals are consistent and predictable in their indifference to facts and experience that show whenever they do succeed in growing government and limiting freedom, they make matters worse, not better.

A substantial body of research already shows that gun controls empower criminals and weaken law-abiding citizens.

As John Lott, former chief economist of the U.S. Sentencing Commission, recently wrote in the Wall Street Journal, “With just a single exception, the attack in Tucson last year, every public shooting in the U.S. in which three or more people have been killed since at least 1950 has occurred in a place where people are not allowed to carry their own firearms.”

Regarding black reality, blacks are the least armed, least protected and defended, and the most assaulted citizens in our country.

According to a recent Pew Research Center survey, 42 percent of whites and 16 percent of blacks say that they have a pistol or rifle at home.

And, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, for the period 1980 to 2008, “Blacks were six times more likely than whites to be homicide victims and eight times more likely to commit a homicide.”

Law-abiding black citizens live under siege in crime-ridden urban centers. Somehow, they are supposed to buy the logic that they’ll be better off if more power is given to those in law enforcement (who already are charged with maintaining order, but don’t), while freedoms are stripped from those who obey the law.

In a Pew Research Center survey in 2009, 46 percent of whites compared to 24 percent of blacks said they had a “great deal” of confidence in their local police to enforce the law.

Can anyone whom God has blessed with a brain actually think that universal background checks will keep guns out of the hands of gang thugs? Or that these same checks, in which some past legal infraction might nullify a gun application, will not result in even fewer urban law-abiding blacks obtaining a weapon for protection?

Perhaps even worse than another make-pretend big-government “answer” that not only will not solve a problem but will make it worse: Gun control initiatives mask the issues that really need attention.

Those include: a culture that devalues personal responsibility, that fosters government dependence, that trashes traditional understanding of sex, marriage and family, and that bans these traditional values from our public schools and our public life.

Americans of all backgrounds must fight yet another misguided liberal attempt to undermine our personal freedom and sap the vitality of our nation.

BEN CARSON MUST APOLOGIZE TO THE EMPEROR

Star Parker doesn’t realize what she’s saying. Honesty and truth aren’t allowed in polite society today. Ben Carson telling the truth about Obama having no clothes was sacrilege to the liberal minded ruling class. How dare he speak what he believes. How dare he contradict the lies of Obama and his minions. How dare he invoke God’s name at a prayer breakfast. Doctor Carson clearly has ambitions to become a more prominent spokesman for rational dialogue and possibly higher office. I can guarantee you there has been a task force formed within the White House to dig up any dirt on Ben Carson. The corporate titans that run CNN, MSNBC and the rest of the liberal media have assigned their dimwitted journalists to write derogatory articles about him. If any of his patients have died, stories will be written about his malpractice. Count on it.

Truth is treason in an empire of lies.

Ben Carson owes no apology for honest talk

Monday, February 18,2013

According to Cal Thomas, well-known nationally syndicated columnist, Dr. Benjamin Carson owes President Obama an apology.

Carson spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., a bipartisan annual event held since 1953, attended by members of Congress and usually the president.

The president and Michelle Obama were present at the Feb. 7 event, and Thomas wrote that Carson was out of line for including in his remarks comments about public policy issues: our national debt, our tax system, our publics schools and health care.

According to Thomas, “Our politics have become so polarized and corrupted that a president of the United States cannot even attend an event devoted to drawing people closer to God and bridge partisan and cultural divides without being lectured about his policies.”

Carson is an African-American physician, director of pediatric neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore; he rose out of poverty in a ghetto in Detroit. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George W. Bush in 2008 and is a role model for every American of every background.

I’m proud that he serves on the national advisory board of my organization, CURE — the Center for Urban Renewal and Education, a nonprofit based in Washington, D.C.

Although Carson did mention these various aspects of how we manage — or mismanage — our national affairs, he never once referred to the president or associated his comments on these issues with any political party.

To the extent to which Obama might have taken Carson’s remarks as personal criticism, it would only be in the sense of “if the shoe fits, wear it.”

To the contrary, Carson began his remarks with citations from Proverbs and Chronicles, tying the issues he spoke about to his broader theme of our nation’s moral crisis today. He talked about the moral decay of ancient Romans and how “they destroyed themselves from within.”

He then expressed optimism that Americans would be able to solve our problems because “we are smart” and that “we have some of the most intellectually gifted people leading our nation.”

No, if Obama was offended by Carson’s penetrating remarks, it was because the president had to be the one losing perspective on the event’s moral tone and Carson’s observations.

What seems to offend Thomas is that Carson has not fallen victim to the Washington disease that Thomas himself seems to have contracted as a result of too many years in our nation’s capital.

Carson noted the vital importance of freedom of expression in America and how “political correctness keeps people from talking about important issues while the fabric of the society is being changed.” He warned that, “We can’t fall for this trick.”

What, after all, is the point of a National Prayer Breakfast, “devoted to drawing people closer to God,” if the core issue now dividing us is whether we are indeed a “nation under God” and whether this means that His Word, as revealed in Scripture, is even relevant to our national life and how we conduct our affairs?

This Word has already been banished from our public schools and increasingly from all our public spaces. Now, apparently, it’s even off limits at the National Prayer Breakfast.

If anything, Carson was forgiving to not mention our president’s support of the moral disaster of abortion, legal under any circumstances and responsible for a reported 55 million murdered unborn children since the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. Nor did he mention our president’s endorsement of same-sex marriage and today’s collapse of the American family.

The prophet Isaiah admonished, “To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to me? says the Lord. …Even when you make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood…. Cease to do evil, learn to do good. “

Religious ritual devoid of content is pointless and destructive. This was Isaiah’s message 2,800 years ago.

This is Dr. Ben Carson’s critical message for America today. It’s certainly nothing to apologize about.

LBJ WAS AN ACTUAL NITWIT

Did any U.S. President do more damage to the country in the space of five years than LBJ? He killed 50,000 American boys with his useless war in Vietnam. His Great Society War on Poverty programs have bankrupted the country and enslaved the poor in deeper poverty and dependence. Reading his words in the article below convinces me this idiot had an IQ below 90. His reasoning is on the level with a 3rd grader. The American people deserve everything we get when we elect people like LBJ, Bush and Obama.

Overreliance on entitlements harms U.S.

Sunday, January 27,2013

 

Journalist Bill Moyers, who worked as an assistant to President Lyndon Johnson, shared memories in a column last year about how his old boss thought about our entitlement programs.

It was under Johnson, who championed the “Great Society” in the 1960s, that a good portion of the runaway government spending we are trying to get under control today originated.

Johnson signed into law Medicare, Medicaid, the War on Poverty programs, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Moyers recounted that for Johnson, Social Security and Medicare “were about a lot more than economics.”

He recalls a time when the Johnson administration was supporting retroactive increases in Social Security payments. Moyers said he argued for the increases as economic stimulus. But Johnson called him and said:

“My inclination would be … that it ought be retroactive as far back as you can get it … because none of them ever get enough. That they are entitled to it. That’s an obligation of ours. It’s just like your mother writing you and saying she wants $20, and I always sent mine $100 when she did. I always did it because I thought she was entitled to it. … We do know that it affects the economy. But that’s not the basis to go to the Hill, or the justification. We’ve got to say that by God you can’t treat grandma this way. She’s entitled to it and we promised it to her.”

I don’t think we could have a clearer picture of Johnson’s muddled thinking about his job and the role of government, which contributed so much to the problems we have today.

Johnson’s words sound so wonderfully compassionate. But let’s get things in perspective.

He saw no difference in his relationship and responsibilities toward his own mother, and sending her his own money, and his responsibilities as president of the United States and the relationship of government to citizens.

There is a world of difference between the appropriate responsibility of parents toward their children and children toward their parents, and politicians deciding on how to spend someone else’s money for someone else’s children, parents or grandparents.

Johnson didn’t seem to grasp, or care, about the fact that family and government are two entirely different social institutions that serve very different purposes.

So the Johnson administration years marked not just the beginning of many huge government programs that we can’t pay for today, but they also marked a major cultural change where government began displacing family and personal responsibility.

It is no accident that as the American welfare state grew, the American family collapsed.

In 1960, 72 percent of American adults were married. By 2010, this was down to 51 percent.

The change is most pronounced among two of today’s largest Democratic Party constituencies: youths and blacks. In 1960, 45 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 were married compared to 9 percent today. In 1960, 61 percent of black adults were married, compared to 31 percent today.

Means testing, targeted tax increases on the wealthy, raising the retirement age — all proposed ways to keep Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid going as they are — all simply grow the American welfare state, increase dependence of working Americans on government and other taxpayers, and displace family and traditional values with socialism.

This is why Democratic leaders are not stressed out by the entitlements crisis facing us. More socialism in America is what they want.

They are not bothered that slow growth and high unemployment go hand in hand with this socialism.

Republicans won’t succeed as an opposition party if they keep tiptoeing around the fact that facing America today is a crisis of vision and values.

They need to stop selling the alternative to welfare as unpleasantness and spending cuts. They need to start selling that restored prosperity will only come with a rebirth of American freedom and the values that go with it.
