Obama wants us to cast stones. He wants to increase racial discord. It solidifies his base of victim interest groups and power-mad statists. Obama is the culmination of LBJ's policies, race pimping taken to the nth degree.
The children you speak of are the victims of the LBJs, Clintons and Obamas, the very men they think of as saviors. Meanwhile, someone like you who is truly working for their best interests, is, and I am guessing, castigated as racist for wanting to end these destructive programs.
Under all the fine sentiments and self-congratulations of the Great Society was calculated self interest: throw money at them and they will go away and stop bothering us. "We" could go back to our quasi-apartheid ways of previous generations and feel good about ourselves to boot.
Out of this strife will come more hatred, but also, perhaps, opportunity. Amidst the din of accusations, voices like yours will rise telling us all that we have been taking the wrong road all along. When conditions get bad enough, people may listen. It has happened that way before.
We will never be able to change the system that produces these evil dehumanized men and women until we stop funding the welfare state or radically reform it and have a national conversation about the failures of a culture that produces these individuals.
The left will do anything to protect the welfare state. They have also ingrained in Americans that we can’t acknowledge how badly the system is broken. Too many people are afraid of being labeled racists so they ignore it and hope for the best deluding themselves that the taxpayers are taking care of these people. The taxpayers and government are destroying them!!!
It’s really sad. These young children are in danger and most them the ones that live in the worst situations - drug addicted single parent households are statistically doomed. Even those who don’t care on moral grounds should understand the economic and societal consequences.
