This is a reply to an article made by a leftist named Cynthia The article blasts tradition of all kinds as racist. Here's my response...
I got done reading an article of yours in which you claim you do not mourn the loss of America's traditional values. You then use the liberal tactic of blasting those such as Ms Fields as racist supporters of Jim Crow and lynching. Typical and disgusting.
You might mourn the loss of yester year but with the exception of racism, I do as do most people I know.
50 years ago if you wanted to purchase a firearm to protect your family and property, you could do it without a waiting period or without being denied. Criminals back then knew the dangers of facing armed homeowners.
I mourn that loss.
Today, law abiding citizens are considered criminals. We can't buy weapons but criminals will still have access to guns. Rape, theft, burglary and murder are skyrocketing as a result. The life of a rapist or a thief is easier than ever before thanks to people like you.
50 years ago, we had prayer in school and in the home. Most Americans took seriously God's commandment of thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not kill and thou shalt not bear false witness. Atheists and those with no moral absolutes were very minor and kept their evil beliefs hidden. In our schools the worst things that happened was talking back running in the halls, ETC. There was a time you could leave your door unlocked and let your children play alone.
I mourn the loss of that America.
Today it is a crime to mention God or prayer in any school. Atheism is crammed down the throats of our kids.. When they graduate if they don't drop out first, they will go around believing, "Hey! No God, No Heaven No hell, I can do anything if I just get away with it! I'm not accountable!" Our politicians, judges and legislators make an oath to uphold the constitution but since they don't acknowledge God, they can just go ahead and do what they like. Our schools are now war zones. Children can be expelled simply for the mention of God or for carrying a cell phone. If a student is picked on or dresses differently, he is profiled even expelled.
Long ago we didn't need welfare. There were more jobs available, employers didn't have to worry about a lot of the communist policies of government dictating how to run a business, even the poor managed. Our poor are fat. Remember the King of the Road? Two hours pushing broom buys a flop house room? You do that for two hours these days you couldn't even buy a box! Businesses especially smaller ones are taxed to pay for lazy drug addicts in housing projects, trailer parks and other places who don't want to work. We all pay for it. Higher taxes means business must cut back wages and jobs. I
In Maine where I live we have the third highest tax burden in America and the largest government. As a result we are the fourth poorest state in the nation ahead of only Michigan Louisiana and West Virginia and right behind Rhode Island, Alaska, Mississippi (Yup! That's right!) Tennessee and Kentucky and California. BTW, The states that made the top ten were almost all red conservative American states. Virginia ranking Numero Uno, Texas also ranked high I believe, those low tax small government states you people all decry. Your own Georgia is among the top ten. That will change quickly if Obama and his supporters have anything to say about it.
In Maine, we have few jobs, only lazy bums who don't want to do work. Everything is expensive. A friend of mine in Texas who is a blue collar worker from Maine now makes far more than he did in Maine. In Maine the government takes 1/3 of your paycheck to support those who will not work. In Texas he keeps his money. Laundry costs only a buck fifty to do. In Maine, six dollars. That is because we are more concerned about conservation and with fish than the working poor. Just like other liberal utopias. Food costs more, gas costs more, rent costs more, we have some of the highest property taxes in the Northeast, ironically the highest rents. That's because what you liberals don't get is that when you raise taxes, the rich just force the cost onto us.
Whether Obama wins or loses, the America in which Fields grew up — preserved as perfect in the amber of her memory — is passing away. The monochromatic America of Christian prayers before football games and New Testament scriptures read in fifth-grade classrooms; the America of constitutional liberties, the America of safety. and safe classrooms; the America of men who were honorable and American women who were abstinent and pure, the America of George Washington, John Addams and Thomas Jefferson— that America recedes before a new tide.
You may not mourn its passing...
But I do and I'm not alone.
She responded in kind as follows:
Long ago we didn't need welfare? Clearly, your parents told you NOTHING about the Great Depression
To which I responded:
No we did not! Welfare is nothing more than a hand out taken from hard working Americans to subsidize the lazy. The taxes and fees used to collect for it are one of the reason our jobs are going overseas and why more people were out of work, that and because of immigration. Like I said, King of the Road... 2 hours pushing broom for a flop house room. I used to live in one and I had to work two jobs for 55+ hours a week to pay for it along with other comforts because of politicians with your mindset. No one should get a hand out unless they are crippled, retarded or out of their mind. 10 years before the depresion we had a boom. Obviously no need for hand outs then.
I still got a few more responses after this just struggling to defend welfare. After looking through my blog and going over the articles I wrote it is clear, welfare is more of a burden.
Why bother responding to ignorant leftist rantings. The lady you talked with was probably a black person who blames all their troubles on white people. And, no offense, but how can we expect respect from people who, if left to their own devices, build places like Rwanda and Zimbabwe?

Cynthia Tucker is a flat out nazi! I do give her credit for answering your email.
Know this, and know it good, blacks live better in the U.S. than anywhere else in the world. Even during the days of slavery, blacks lived better here than in their own beloved Africa - which virtually none ever return to - I wonder why?
Cynthia Tucker is a flat out socialist with no respect for America in any form.

I don't even believe Farakhan or Jesse Jackson are as racist and stupid as this woman.
Pretty place to visit, hard place to make a living.
I miss the people (native Mainahs). The transplants from Boston? Not so much.
I am the grandaughter of migrant California farm workers who moved from Oklahoma during the dust bowl. My mother was born in 1933. Her parents struggled to put food on the table, but she’s still alive and I’m here as well as millions of other children of children of the Depression. Poverty doesn’t have to KILL you. Sometimes, it forces you to revise your life and move forward in whatever way you can.
I get so frustrated when we act like we have to save dying urban areas like Detroit and other big cities across the country that are failing. We have literally millions of small towns across this great country that have been struggling for years in rural America filled with poor people who work hard, live within their means and make do. We also have thousands of ‘ghost towns’ where people did what had to be done when the work was gone. Pick up and move on. Why do people think that’s no longer a possibility?
I was watching 20/20 last Friday night and they were covering these people living in Florida who were having trouble making their payments on their homes and were in foreclosure. This former hedge fund manager was delivering pizzas. Why couldn’t they move? “Oh we don’t want to take our kids out of their school...” Well, no, that would be too bad, but it’s not the end of the world. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do, and that includes MOVING.
No, now, we have people living in homeless shelters in Los Angeles because they lost their jobs and they got kicked out of their apartments. They used up all their savings living in a hotel in LA. Hey! Get a bus ticket, or a plane ticket and find a job some place else! I just don’t understand what happened to the notion that you went where the work was. Oh wait...now I remember. Welfare. No welfare during the depression. Now, welfare keeps people where there are no jobs and no prospect for jobs. And we pay to keep them there.
What a world, what a world...
No surprise there - Cynthia Tucker is pro-gun control and wrote a silly article about America’s love affair with guns....
