Many years ago a large housing project on the west side Pittsburgh was set to be closed. Distraught residents of Broadhead Manor refused to leave. The residents of this project considered it to be their home. It was a heartbreaking scene as a woman cried unto news cameras “Why are they making us leave our homes? We have lived here for years, why do we have to go?”
This poor woman simply did not understand that the purpose of a housing project was to be a temporary place to stay while you get on your feet. Whether by accident or on purpose, liberals have found a very effective way to garner and maintain power. People who are DEPENDENT upon your goodwill just to survive WILL consistently vote for you thinking they are helping themselves.
The government advertises in English and Spanish so people will sign up for government housing, health insurance, food, cash, smartphones…
Uncle Sam has taken on the role of Husband and Father – the Provider for millions. Divorced or Unwed mothers are encouraged to count on the government for all their needs. Whenever a government shutdown looms, these unwed mothers and their kids are held up as victims. Seniors are expected to live off the government as well. Remember when a male was not considered a Man if he didn’t take care of his kids? Not just child support; actually being present in his kids life?
Remember when Mom or Dad moved in with their adult kids as they aged?
Who benefits? The poor routinely vote straight Santa Claus party. They don’t worry about the National Debt or abuses by the NSA.
So the Santa Claus party takes the poor for granted. Every so often they throw up a scare to keep them in line. During the health care debate Rep Grayson(D) claimed the Republican Party wanted the sick and elderly to “Die quickly”. Vice President Biden told the NAACP “They (GOP) wanta put y’all back in chains”.
Clearly this rhetoric isn’t aimed at informed voters.
For the record, The GOP is the party to oppose slavery. The GOP health care plan leaves health care choices in the patients hands.
I suggest the elderly, poor and minority voters should be present in great numbers in BOTH parties. That forces both parties to pay attention to all the voters. That way the voters will benefit in good governerance instead of wild rhetoric and lies.
