They are finally realizing that welfare statism is not in their best interest in the long run.Libtardism is what is causing the never ending and worsening group warfare in and the decline and decay of the country and impoverishment of the masses and middle class.
So then. According to this article, not voting is a good thing for America.
I couldn’t agree more.
Code for "welfare giveaways."
Because we know better than you what is in your best interest. What an arrogant prick,
“They won’t stay bought, damn it!” :)
"Mr. Taggart" -- she jerked her head in a shudder and looked straight at him -- "we were stinking poor and not giving a damn about it. That's what I couldn't take -- that they really give a damn. Not enough to lift a finger. Not enough to empty the garbage pail. And the woman next door saying it was my duty to help them, saying it made no difference what became of me or of her or of any of us, because what could anybody do anyway!"
Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, Part I, Chapter IX, p. 261
People are beginning to get it. Not enough to scrawl dollar signs on walls in protest, but the light is starting to come on in people's heads. There is something profoundly immoral about our welfare state.
Who turned the author’s blue state red? That’s easy. Democrats did...by abandoning any semblance of the principles this country was founded upon in favor of the clown freak show that they’ve become and fully embraced.
As it turns out, a good number of people won’t completely sell out and abandon their core beliefs quite so easily.
The idiot writer seems unaware that it is Democrat policies that have caused "the collapse of the area's coal industry".
After having her first child as a teenager, marrying young and divorcing, Ms. Dougherty had faced bleak prospects. But she had gotten safety-net support — most crucially, taxpayer-funded tuition breaks to attend community college, where she’d earned her nursing degree.
The idiot writer fails to make a distinction between "safety-net programs" that help people get jobs and "safety-net programs" that allow people to stay at home and watch TV.
Ms. Dougherty wanted a job so she could support herself and her child. I don't mind helping her get a nurse's degree. I DO mind paying Ms Fatstuff to watch As The World Turns.
Why is it that liberals seem totally unaware of these distinctions?
Probably because the rabid Anti-American Leftism of the current crop of Democrat leaders is so obvious that not even the traditionalist “Granddad and Dad were Democrat” crowd can ignore it any longer.
the red is the blood the terrorists will shed in the streets of NYC
this time though america will not compassionately send millions of $$$ to people that are anti america
That’s because the working class is tired of working so the welfare class can sit on their assets all day long watching Jerry Springer.
The electoral college map has been very consistent since 1976. The state house map has been evolving: states like Kentucky that voted Republican in Presidential elections, starting voting Republican in Congressional elections, and are now also voting Republican in state elections.
To examine things in further detail, the blue states have been becoming more blue. California used to be within reach in a big Republican year. On the other hand, numerous purple states have been drifting red. Iowa looks pretty much like a red state. Wisconsin and Pennsylvania look like possibilities. The one purple state that has been drifting blue is Virginia. And, yes, the reason for these changes is that the Democrats have lost the middle-class white vote.
In 2012, Carl Rove promulgated the “and 1” strategy: the McCain states + Indiana and North Carolina + Florida, Ohio and Virginia + one more state (if pressed, the “and 1” state was Colorado). Romney won the McCain states and he won Indiana and North Carolina. That was it. To update Rove’s model, we can start with the Romney states and recognize there is no way we can win without Florida. After that, we have a now of options and don’t have to worry about threading the needle.
Dependantcy is the progressives way of saying slavery.
Maybe it's because those programs are not "safety-nets" so much as they are millstones tied around the necks of the poor, keeping them downtrodden and dependent on the government for everything. It is a horrific thing to not only keep subsidizing poverty, but to disincentivize poor people so that they have no ambition to strive for better lives.
Democrats dehumanize people for their votes. Conservative Republicans encourage everyone to reach their potential.
We can say the same thing about Virginia.....Why changed our red state blue? We just cannot lose another state or we are done. I still worry about the Presidential race regardless of the nominee due to the Democrats having such an advantage in the electoral college.
Uh....Did they miss the part were the Democrats came out of the closet as the Kill Whitey party?
More “poor whites are voting against their self interest” garbage. Any White person would have to be an idiot or insane to vote democrat, while that’s true for everyone, it’s especially so for White people.
Working class whites see their jobs taken by immigrants, Section 8 people moving into their neighborhoods and destroying property values and the schools, and they cant afford college for their kids (while blacks get affirmative action financial aid)
Do not be surprised if whites leave the Dems in 2016.
Obama and his minions did, by forcing policies on people against their will. Political Correctness, the Nanny State, and a Blame America foreign policy is more than they are willing to stand.
Even more than George W. Bush helped Obama get elected (accidentally), Barack Obama may help Donald Trump get elected by revulsion against his policies.
