It really boggles my mind how minorities haven't ever woken up to liberalism's lies. I can understand how the Democrats won the minority vote with the War on Poverty in the first place. When it was new. But that was 50 years ago. Isn't it about time they woke up and said "Hey leftists, where are your results?"

I mean even if you are naive enough to actually believe what Democrats say, the only logical conclusion is that they are completely incompetent. You still end up with the question - even if you honestly believe if liberalism is right and true - how come we spend more than any nation on the planet and people are still poor, unemployed, and undereducated after half a century?

First, there are abundant examples of how minorities have benefited from those liberal programs.
Second, you can't understand how Democrats, not Republicans get the black vote? Try this on for size:

American conservatism at its heart is exclusionary. Conservatives believe that certain people deserve and other people don't and that is the way of the world.

Conservatives believe that certain people are real patriotic Americans, the makers, job creators, the special people and the government should do things for those special people.

Conservatives believe that the special people and basically only those people should run America or be the ones to decide who runs America.

Conservatives believe that everyone else is destroying America and is a taker, loser, moocher.

Conservatives don't want those people to vote. Conservatives don't think that those people's interests are legitimate problems that should be address by government.


This is why conservatives hate government spending that goes to those people, hate the Democratic party or more specifically liberals who design programs to help those people, hate a lot of their fellow Americans for merely existing and being poor or black or a single mom or hispanic or muslim, hate democracy itself really.


This is why those Americans generally don't vote for the conservative party.

Life is exclusionary....not conservatism.

Some deluded Liberals cling to the theory that "we are all in this together" because we are social creatures. But we are only "social" by forced associations through man made devices. There are studies showing humans to be social....but not the way a Federal Government is trying to force associations across a collective of 300 MILLION human beings..

Good luck finding any study proving THAT is natural.

A "collective" can be two single individuals.

We have social norms that extend WAY WAYYYYYY behind a man made institution of money or racism that we exclude people. And many of them Liberals engage in everyday. So let's not be pretentious, ok?

Government shouldn't be doing anything special for anybody....Because that's how a government gains consent from people to do whatever the hell they want at the end of the day.

What makes Government special? Because they are elected by a convoluted and very opaque process? What is the belief that government is the end all be all?

No, they don't....Are you just talking out your exhaust now? But regardless, there ARE plenty of people who ARE takers.

And Liberals believe everybody should be taken care of. Well, that is until their preference starts getting slang around. This is why they are more hypocritical than anybody. See issue #1 that was addressed.

You have two types of Liberals...

The first believes that everybody deserves a 4th, 5th, 6th and nth chance. Everything and anything has to have unlimited resources thrown at it. Of course, this is OK because it's not THEIR money directly being burned..It's just comes from the one, big, unwieldy and bottomless rainy day fund.

The second believes that everybody deserves a chance, but until they cross a certain threshold. This kind is usually an Athiest..They pretty much hold the stance that "Everybody is free...except THOSE people". They usually hide within legislation as their personal lord and savior. These are the absolute WORST kind of Liberals because they are simply statists. I can't think of a more damaging individual that disregards religion but puts complete faith in the government to do what is "right"

These kind take endless stipends and compromise everybody else because they have been pigeonholed by single tracked voting preference. And these types are TOTALLY in denial about it.

I think I have laid this out for you pretty well...not much to address here. Except for the racial dynamic. And people exclude not because of race but because of culture. And this is quite normal everywhere you go. Love Sweden? Sure, they have a GREAT system where everybody pays upwards of 40% income tax. They love each other and it's a utopia....

But guess what? You BETTER speak Swedish. There goes that exclusionary stuff.

And hope you don't rent...Sweden has a nasty black market rental market where subletting and sub-subletting run rampant and black money wins contracts.

Man, gotta love all inclusive Utopias.

Or maybe Germany... Ah yes, a bastion of diversity and a near perfect model of living. All people are on the dole, Black, White, Asian... All living in racial harmony.... Nobody who likes to swap DNA with the same sex is vilified. It truly stands alone as the shining example of what America should be.

Except the country had to go through one of the darkest moments in modern history AND house a regime that wanted to commit genocide on EVERY other demographic to get there. In addition, they now have an economy (that is not only run by a robust private sector) that is a global leader in making WEAPONS. ASSAULT WEAPONS. And selling them to EVERYBODY else.

If they aren't selling fully assembled weapons and artillery, they get around trade sanctions by selling parts and components to nations with plenty of human rights violations.

Ah, yes... Irony tastes great in the morning doesn't it?
