Inequality equals prosperity in a world without socialists.
If everything were equal then there would be no incentive to strive to get ahead.
Wallow in the past. Avoid talking about how to move forward and deal with current cultural issues.
equating income inequality with slavery, jim crow, and internment as the base of our economy cannot be overcome. it is perpetual outrage time.
The up side of inequality. How good intentions undermine the middle class - Edward Conrad.
Yep!
Voter suppression, an old term, is NOT the problem.
Voter INFLATION is the real problem.
People who talk about suppression are living in the fifties.
And within a few years, you’ll dine on your pets, use banana leaves for toilet tissue and ply the sewers & storm drains for water.
True. The Demnocrats often seem to feel that we are still Jim Crow America and that poll taxes, reading tests and other devices are currently in use all across the country to make sure blacks can't vote.
Meanwhile, parts of Philadelphia seem to have 110% voter turnout, and the votes are all for Democrats. Weird, huh?
And have the nerve to charge admission? What about all those poverty stricken lefties?
The destruction of freedom is every Democrats core craving. Democrats need racial issues to excuse their oppression.
I saw ‘Charlottesville’ in the headline and had an immediate gag reflex. Truly sad. 20 years ago, it was one of my fav places in the state to visit. Great antique shops, food, and Skyline was not far away. Now, I just think Uggggg.
"Teaching girls" is all the rage among progressives. Gave the corrupt Obamas a $100 million scam of our tax dollars.
====================================
Then-F/L Michele, her mother and daughters in the Moroccan palace.
Look at that smile----Obama gave her $100 million tax dollars----"to teach Muslim girls in Morocco."
AND GET THIS: The $100 mill is to be held by the Obama Foundation, in Chicago, to be doled out when necessary (cue laugh machine here).
==========================================
NOTE WELL: The $100 million "for Muslim girls" came out of the Millenium Challenge Fund at the State Dept----Hillary's fave slush fund.
ACTION NOW: Demand the books be opened-----taxpayers demand to know where the Millenium funds are going.

Charlottesville welcomed Neo-Nazis to their city.
Not Obama’s daughter
“As it turns out, this is not Obamas daughter. The young lady Michelle Obama is hugging is reported to be a student from Yemen.”
Michelle really endorses the student’s mortarboard message.
There is no evidence that I can find that Mohammed said it. He did say
The Prophet said, “He who has a slave-girl and teaches her good manners and improves her education and then manumits and marries her, will get a double reward; and any slave who observes Allah’s right and his master’s right will get a double reward.”
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari, in Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 46, Number 723
