Democrats: The Party of Food Stamps?

Full-time instigator and former House speaker Newt Gingrich is at it again. His latest "attack" calls the Democrats the party of food stamps. Surely The Right sees the jab a true, cutting and slightly mean. The Left sees it as really mean, insensitive and possibly race baiting.

How do you see it? Would Food Stamps exist without the Democrats?

Has White America Lost Its Mind?

Still digesting this at the moment... The left would have you believe that "White America" is out of control. Is this true? Do you feel like you're on the outside looking in? Or is it the other way around?

What Steven Thrasher would have you believe that this is a racial reaction rather than a cultural reaction that happens to have a racial element.

The point of this opus is:

White people have simply gone sheer f___ing insane.

Hmmm. That is some fine journalism there Mr. Thrasher.

The Ruling Class Tosses Americans Overboard

The saga of Senator John Kerry's  $ 7 million sailing yacht  tied up on the Newport waterfront in the tax haven of Rhode Island proved again how adept Democrats are at spending other people's money.  This time the $7 million was presumably spent from his wife's inherited fortune.

But the larger story here isn't about tax havens.  And it isn't about hypocrisy. And it's far less about trophy wives with trust funds.  It's not even about being a lifelong leech working  in government jobs sucking the blood out of beleaguered taxpayers. It's about the increasing distance and disconnects between the governing class and everybody else.  Geoffrey P. Hunt - American Thinker

Uplifting the Poor One Lie at a Time

Joseph Schumpeter, the great Austrian economist, observed that the first thing a man would do for his ideals is lie[1]. Nowhere is this more true than when defending America's burgeoning social welfare colossus. Deceit is almost a moral imperative.

King Had a Dream, but Blacks Now Face a Nightmare

It's time for black voters to elect candidates who will reverse the ambition-numbing effects of seventy years of liberals. It's time to turn the wheel in the other direction as hard as we can. If we did nothing else other than vote against liberals, we would be far better off. We would see immediate and incredible advances toward the society that Martin Luther King, Jr. dreamed of instead of this hellish nightmare that keeps getting worse

Chris W. Bell points out "black America is in a state of crisis."

The Poor Are Better Off Renting

Home ownership has been branded as the ultimate fulfillment of the American dream. This ignores the true American dream: upward mobility for us and for our children

Keeping Blacks poor

Democrats will defend everything from partial-birth abortion to distributing gay porn in the classroom, but some subjects are too hot for them to touch: The effect of their minimum-wage enthusiasm on black unemployment is one, and racial discrimination by their organized-labor constituents is another.

 You'd think that the Democrats would put jobs for blacks at the top of their list, but political calculations are perverse things: Black voters are a cheap date for Democrats says Kevin Williamson
