Their independence was not organized like the U.S.. Haiti was at best a sugarcane factory for France, and not a society of “citizens” rising in revolt over red tape issues.

They managed to win, but had no guiding pro to fall back on. The U.S. refused to recognize the place, and trading with the Spanish Empire was not happening because it would legitimize a slave uprising.

Haiti made a haphazard shot at governance the best they knew how. Even splitting into a republic and kingdom for a period.

But they were just screwed from the start. Add to that multiple U.S. interventions, and business deals, corrupt leaders, natural disasters, and you have a pepetual dirt poor nation surrounded by far better off nations that arent THAT different in terms of their resource wealth.

I challenge perpetually outraged liberals and the media (redundant) to perfectly describe the exact condition of most African countries with one word.

I don’t use profanity, but I stipulate that it has its place in our lexicon. I also stipulate that if that was the word he used, it was a proper use of the word and frankly, nothing I haven’t heard in many low and high level business meetings.

The following was typed just prior to the stories coming out this morning denying the President's use of the 'term' du jour.
Should it turn out to have been even more FAKE NEWS from the Enemedia, I believe they'll find that they've shot themselves in the ass YET AGAIN.
Why ?  Because now it's out there, in all its anti-PC glory, and there'll be no reeling it back in .. LOL !

- - - - - -

For me, the magnificent nucleus of POTUS's comment yesterday was its unapologetic butchering of one of PC's most sacred cows.
Having railed since the late 70s against the the implicit totalitarianism of 'political correctness', DJT's candor is a fresh breeze of truth to a suffocated nation.
His employment of that 'colorful' expression - agreed with by tens of millions - may prove to be the brightest light yet shone on the illegally invading cockroaches.

Trump needs to kill Daca now.

He created this March deadline but it's nothing but a Dem Never Trumper
Amnesty scam .

No one cares about it .

His base wants it dead .
All Daca does is insure 4 M new Dem. voters and four key states turn blue forever and Trump causes the 2018 midterms to be a Bloodbath .

What is his upside ????

Just stop the nonsense before Ryan and McConnell make it worse which those two Globalist traitors can do easily .

Never-Trumper turned compromising sometimes-never-trumper Hugh Hewitt dug himself a deep hole. He strongly attacked Trump for using a certain word, not because it was vulgar, but because it was racist. Then Hewitt went into a discussion of countries, including those he has visited, Guatemala, Mexico, etc. He made a whole string of comments that were negative about those countries and how he never wanted to go to any of them. His standard seemed to be “If the door to the hotel opens on the parking lot then it is beneath him.” But he used non-racist soft words like “unpleasant” rather than allegedly racist words.

The very same elites who get the vapors over harsh language don't even blink about the FBI and DNC gross misuse of the Federal government to wiretap the Trump campaign.

I found his whole presentation and WAPO editorial to be extremely hypocritical. Apparently it is not racist if you use the PC words to describe reality.

I'll admit that I'll wait to read anything of that sort because my stomach is partially full and I don't want anything coming back up--but if that's what he writes, then I agree with you that his reaction is fundamentally flawed.

If those countries are such wonderful places, why are the people streaming into the US?

Even Faux News took the “quote” and ran with it.....the “quote”, even if not what President Trump said, is spot on.

Hugh Hewitt is on at 6 AM in my area so thankfully I never have the radio on that early.

It has not been considered proper as long as I have been a member. This is mixed company, you know?

These countries governments are non functional, corrupt, and destructive to their inhabitants. What else would you call them?

Oslo, Norway

Port-au-Prince, Haiti

Visit Haiti and then Dominican Republic.
Vast difference

But both could be called $hitholes

Depends on how one defines the term

POTUS says no. I think if he had he would have admitted it.

You are losing your Country, while you are more worried about a descriptive word.

George Washington would have lined you up for the friendly firing squad.

Patton, I cannot fight because the enemy uses a bad word.
Patton, “Holy $hit, shoot this coward!”

So, how did other colonies bootstrap themselves to success? You seem to be all about listing excuses. How about listing the reasons for success by other nations who also had horrible and tragic histories? Or do you just prefer to list excuses? Every failed nation has a long list of those.
