How the War on Poverty Was Lost
I urge you to spend a few minutes to view this video:

Excellent video, and proof that not all young Americans have drunk the koolaid!

The Video was OK, the Blonde was better
The point was well made where people are discouraged by the system to raise themselves out of poverty.
You guys lost me when the young woman insinuated that there is a connection between Obama and poverty. We must remember that the economy was losing 7 to 8 hundred thousand jobs in the last months of the Bush Administration. |
Yea, but he promised that spending a trillion dollars would keep unemployment below 8% and we would live happily ever after.

I credit him with the Solyndra solar-company debacle and The Fast and Furious scandal. Wasting a trillion dollars, high unemployment etc. etc. |

Let's see the topic was:
How the Was on Poverty Was Lost Well, could be that we ran out of poor people, no, thant did not happen. Then maybe we ran out of granades to throw at poor people, no still have pelenty of those. Then maybe it might be the education that public schools are now teaching. Yep, that's what happened. |

This young woman made an unbias, logical and unemotional presentation clearly spelling out the cause(s) of poverty. These are the same principles spoken by say Herman Cain. Was he the child from a wealthy family? We all have witnessed the courage of severely disabled people who have overcome many obstacles to live comfortable lives such as Dr. CharlesKruthammer . Conversely normal healthy people who feel entitled and in fact demand it. I continue to ponder this question "Why do some people work so hard to disprove that a free market system is the best way out of poverty? The most important aspect of this video points to the fact that America is at a crossroads. Do they want the European model or push to to keep us as a free enterprise system? |

I spent a major portion of my adult life in Europe. They have a much safer and better lifestyle than most American have. I do fine in America because I am a rich white man, but if you are not, this is not a place to live the good life. |
Here we go again....Stupidski tactics.

There is a basic truism.
If you subsidize something, you get more of it. Think about that. |

Finally I don't believe you really meant what you said because I read many of your other posts and you are intelligent. You may want to reconsider and thank God you live in America despite some of its minor blemishes. |
Villager II, I guess you missed Europe in the 70s and 80s. Remember the Red Bridgade and Badder Meinhof gang. Not as safe as you think since they were killing people and blowing things up.
One of the reasons I retired and did not stay in Germany was because of them. Got tired of every morning crawling around my car checking for bombs, and was really glad that I was fortunate enough to be authorized to be armed all the time by the U. S. military and the German Government. After 13 years in Europe I was glad to be back in the United States. Glad that you are a rich white man, but rich or poor life in the US is much better than any place in Europe. |

Why would any one tell you to go to Europe? If you decided that Europe was a better place to live and YOU decided you want to go there, go, but never would I will you to go there. That would have to be your decision.
Having been in third world countries and all over Europe, there is no place like the US of A. Even with all our faults, this is the best place to live, just ask all those foreigners that want to come to the US of A. We must be doing something right or they would all stay home. Now tell me how any of your posts related to "How The War On Poverty Was Lost?" |

The fact that The Villager II (name remarkably similar to the ousted VillagerII) is also promoting this designation, and also talks of phantom "vicious attacks" by conservative posters is highly suspicious for someone who claims to be "conservative". I'm just saying. |
It is my personal belief that being conservative does not give me the right to insult people using any bullying tactic, like calling them intellectually challenged. I often disagree with liberals, but does that mean they are the one that is stupid. I think not. Many of the liberals on this board come from a very diverse background with worldly travels and higher educational experiences than us conservatives. With that in mind, this conservative is of the opinion, since I am not the all knowing GOD, they may just be right. Now that does not change my opinion of them, but it does give me reason to hold my comments down to civil debate rather than childish slander. I'm just saying.
NOTE: I have been here for 5 years, but I never heard of villagerII. I wanted The Villager, but it was taken so I used the villager II |
Richie,
I am glad to see you did not lump all liberals into the "intellectually challenged" grouping - just as I would not lump all the conservatives on this forum into the neo-facist grouping albeit there are some deserving that grouping. As for "brutally attacked" by someone on this forum - BULLFEATHERS! If your feelings are so easily hurt by a jibe, it is time to pull the plug on your computer connection. Take a deep breath and just enjoy reading the opinions of others even though you do not agree with all of them. Enjoy reactions of your husband or wife when you start out a conversation with, "Let me tell you something that was posted today on the Political forum on Talk of The Villages". It is fun to see their eyes roll around in their heads. |

Who specifically did I "bully" by saying "those liberals who are intellectually challenged"?; which was said, by the way, in response to the childish 6 PAC remarks now and in the past. Try comprehending my words a little better. Do you even know the real meaning of the word "bully". If you as a conservative with conservative ideals know the proper path to bring our country back into prosperity, how can you even doubt it to consider that maybe the socialist leaning liberal's agenda may be correct? A true conservative never doubts his "rightness". |
Quote:
Oh, and if I do tell my wife any more about this forum her eyes ARE going to roll right out of her head. You got that pegged also. |
Pretty good words, Richie, but I missed seeing "elitist" with the "socialist, left leaning liberal agenda. I thought that was a term you would discuss with your buddies and the baristas at Starbuck's.
Good to be back in The Villages even after a week of seeing outstanding fall leaves in New England. |
