A very lengthy explanation for what I truly believe on the face of it. Just telling me “Obama’s conduct as President caused this and many, many other murders” is enough really.
This many is on the verge of starting an all out race war. The collective “we” are not going to put up with this one-sided onslaught much longer.
“Just as when those bored kids look into an empty future of no jobs or career of any kind, they realize they have nothing to lose.”
The Dems just can’t abort them quickly enough, so they simply re-direct them away from their yuppie neighborhoods with their class warfare rhetoric. Commissar Bloomberg is a prime example of wealthy libs telling them to sh!t somewhere else.
The angry, hateful children were only 9 and 11 years old when Obama was elected. Their attitude and racist has been molded by his conduct and the example he sets.
enough braying
You got it and it is only going to get worse. He has to deflect is absolute failure and promote racism.
Excellent, Bray! We should have a series of these on the unintended consequences of liberalism for smart conservatives to run on in 2014/2016. For instance, child labor laws... By restricting the ability of young kids to work, they don’t have a chance to do something constructive over the summers - earn money for school or even play. Especially in agricultural areas, where the producers now need another source of cheap labor & end up employing illegals, who start receiving benefits from the tax payers & create another series of problems. It goes on & on. Liberalism is a mental illness!
Amen twotone, kids can’t even pick strawberries and beans due to regulations.
Thanks.
Wow, very good article and it explains exactly what is going on. This article needs to be placed on the front page of every newspaper in the US.
I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

I would question whether or not they are “unintended” consequences.
Thank you very much, I appreciate that.
Sometimes you have to wonder if they are unintended. But most libs I know are totally into FEELING, not thinking. I doubt if they give a moments thought to consequences. Logic isn’t in them.
You are talking about the useful dupes, not the leaders. The leaders are well aware of the consequences and believe the ends justify the means. Destroying farms is worth kids not having jobs.
The history of the world since the dawn of civilization is the history of rule by oligarchy. In the beginning we had oligarchies based on blood ties, religious dogmas, or ideological purity. Now the coat of paint is called 'democratic capitalism', but it is still an oligarchy.
The vast majority of people are too busy just trying to keep their own little lives from spinning out of control. Very few people spend much time outside of tending to their families, supporting their friends, and doing their jobs with no time left over to help keep the whole complex system afloat.
The people that keep the system afloat are the oligarchs. We can talk about Adam Smith's "invisible hand" all we want, but nature abhors a vacuum. If there are no laws preventing the market from being manipulated, then it will be manipulated. Or the laws will be changed to guarantee its manipulation.
The oligarchy this time is not as bad as those in the past. Anyone of us theoretically could become one of the oligarchs. There is no genetic test or religious test or ideological purity test in order to join their ranks. All you need to do is find someway to make lots of money that is either legal or can be made legal by a sufficient amount of lobbying.
Obama doesn't care about the poor or his fellow Blacks or the Marxist professors. The people he cares about are the people keeping him in office: the oligarchs.
The oligarchs are human too and are constantly experimenting to see what works best. They seem to have decided that a quasi-capitalist economic system with a large welfare safety net is a decent compromise. When they tried to control everything like in Russia or China, things went horribly bad. There's no way they would experiment with libertarian ideas as that would open them up to too much "destabilizing" competition. Even during the "robber baron" days when the safety net was nearly non-existent, they still decided that manipulating government was a necessity. The railroads needed their free land after all.
Maybe it would be better to have less of a safety net. Maybe the oligarchs will have to try out that experiment when tax dollars go almost entirely to servicing the debt. But then maybe most people would be encouraged to commit more crimes if their government checks started shrinking.
The oligarchic enterprise will continue whatever happens because most people refuse to become engaged except as consumers and producers of an infinitesimal portion of the GDP. Free markets, democracies (direct or representative), and republics exist only in fairy tales and sci-fi futures that will never exist in any of the 10^500 universes that might exist.
Spot on. But the Blacks/Dems don’t want to know.
They were learning this nonsense when Obama was a baby; here in the NYC metro area we’ve had hate crimes like this for decades. Al $harpton made his name agitating with this kind of nonsense 30 years ago.
Obama certainly isn’t helping things, though it is easier now than then to see that they are irrelevant demographically. They are being displaced by Hispanics in every aspect of American life (including maternity wards), and have become the modern equivalent of Indians on public housing reservations.
You clearly took my suggestion(s) and your essay is the better for it. :)
I’m fifty-seven years old and a former liberal. In all my years I don’t ever remember anyone, other than Ronald Reagan when he made a campaign stop in the South Bronx in 1980, EVER talk about ‘’black unemployment’’! It was just assumed ‘’Homey’’ got a check from the government and that was that. If ‘’black community leaders’’ were so concerned about ‘’black unemployment’’ they be the loudest yelling about the need to stop illegal immigration and seal the borders from the millions of Mexicans, Central and South Americans who come here and take low-skill entry level jobs and good paying construction jobs that “homey’’ should be doing but doesn’t want to. And there isn’t a black or white politician ANYWHERE IN AMERICA WITH THE BALLS TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS!!!.
Wow, that nails it. Maybe with one exception, though. Indians have come to be a major political force and lobbying power - at least up here in the Pacific Northwest.
