Wow - some very interesting information in your post - and especially at your link to the Justice Department....
I spent hours there......
Much of your post and the links were sent to my entire distribution list — which is so large I have to send in several blocks to avoid being identified as spam!
LOTS of pissed off comments...from my friends.
Many of my friends avoid the “news” by direction of their physicians, and most are fortunate enough to live in “sheltered high end communities” so they haven’t noticed the level of decay with our society.... It’s up to me to keep them informed!
Our group’s average age is somewhere over 70 — with several pushing 90. Lots of WWII experience and several B-24 Liberator crew members from the South Pacific...and brass from the Grunt Corps of course!
Keep shooting partner — your fire is effective!
LBJ's Great Society: 40 Years Later
-snip-
The following statistics are provided by Star Parker's Coalition of Urban Renewal, (CURE).
*60 percent of black children grow up in fatherless homes.
*800,000 black men are in jail or prison.
*70 percent of black babies are born to unwed mothers.
*Over 300,000 black babies are aborted annually.
*50 percent of new AIDS cases are in the black community.
*Almost half of young black men in America's cities are neither working nor in school. What we have here is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.
What was the message of the social programs that came out of LBJ's Great Society? One of the most devestating to the family was that if an unwed woman became pregnant, moved out of the home of her parents, did not name or know who the father was, then Big Daddy in Washington would provide for all her essential needs.
Ergo she no longer needed a husband or the support of her family. In fact, the more children she had out of wedlock, the more money she would receive from the government. This program was the death knell for many families, especially in the black community.
Unfortunately many black men saw this as the best of all possible worlds. They could father as many children as they wanted, from multiple women, without ever having to accept the responsibility of fatherhood. Many women rejected marriage in favor of a boyfriend who could slip in the back door and not jeopardize her government check.
