Certainly not the Republicrats who feverishly seek bi-partisanship (surrender) for the sake of getting along in order to garner more earmarks.
She’s right. The sad thing is that so few people seem to recognize the implications of the US becoming a socialist country - massive failure and loss of freedom.

After 45 years of “the War on Poverty”:
“Trillions of dollars later, black poverty is the same. But black families are not, with triple the incidence of single-parent homes and out-of-wedlock births.”
Can we agree “This war is lost?”
Run for office, Star.
The thing is, we can’t lay all of this at the feet of “The One”. Amazingly, we were on the road to welfare reform during Clinton’s years. Then we have Bush, the “Compassionate Conservative” who starts signing up all of the charities to be on the plantation. We should expect the socialist party to want more of Uncle Sam’s plantation. Who we should really be mad at are the ones that are supposed to be on our side. Judging by how the first two months of “The One’s” presidency has gone, I’m not sure “our side” has gotten it yet. I hope we never see the term “Compassionate Conservative” again!!
I've been saying that one of the objectives of That One would be to round up all us "freeman" former slaves and get us back on the plantation, along with the new captives but I never made the Lincoln connection until reading this. Very sharp, Ms. Parker!
It’s amazing how many of these programs started off with good intentions and are complete failures that have been institutionalized in our government. I don’t remember who said it, but the quote “There’s no such thing as a temporary government program†is really appropriate. No matter how bad the program is, no one wants to be the one who abolishes it.
