What about the lies that minorities (read blacks) tell themselves? That they are being held down by the white man, and that they are owed their welfare check and foodstamps from the gubmint because of slavery. What about those lies you ignorant wench? These liberal “journalists” really fry me.

Only non-college-educated white men should be allowed to vote.

Why would struggling wage earners support a candidate who would give tax cuts to the top 1 percent, a group that controls 43 percent of the wealth in the country . . . Well, let's just start listing a few reasons, such as:
- That nasty 1% also does most of the hiring. They have the choice of doing it here or moving their money off-shore to do it somewhere else. Guess where they are going to move it if we keep squeezing and demonizing them?
- The elitist nimrods who control the top 1 percent in media, academia, law and government have a far more dismal record on hiring. They redistribute wealth to their enablers to spend on propaganda dissemination, booze, drugs, lottery tickets and overpriced construction contracts for the 7% of the workforce which is unionized and an army of bureaucrats to enforce their new social order.
- Many of us struggling wage earners have stood behind EBT card users in grocery lines and seen them buy food we can't afford and drive away in cars we can't afford.
- Many of us struggling wage earners have had to take family members to ER or clinical visits where our loved-ones can't even be seen until we produce an insurance card and make a copay and have seen non-English speaking people waltz to the front of the line with no expectation to produce either. If we question it, we are branded as xenophobic racists.
- Many of us struggling wage earners frankly trust the elite 1% in business to provide us job opportunities to earn our way more than we trust the elite 1% in government (and their enablers in media, academia and law) to give us a handout of somebody else's money.
- Many of us struggling wage earners are smart enough to understand that even though Mitt Romney is far from our first choice, he is likely to do far more for us by helping the 1% in business do more hiring and giving us the opportunity to work than BO and his 1% in government can possibly do by fundamentally transforming America into a third world country like Kenya.

Mz Blumner is obviously a hed-hot passionate bigot of the first order. What about other groups, including blacks and Jews and “Latinos”, voting in a monolith? What sort of lies to those groups tell themselves. Hmmm? Mz Blumner?

The prospect of having a taxable income is surprisingly motivating.
The Left does not understand this.

Because those 1% are the most likely to create employment for the rest of us.

Well, you sure as hell won’t get rich sitting on your ass, doing the bare minimum, collecting welfare checks. You may survive though, minimally.

I notice she mentions that “we” think that being the recipient of a government handout is indicative of flawed character.
Yes, we as a society used to, and still should, see an able-bodied person living on the forcibly confiscated earnings of others as being indicative of a character flaw. It used to be SHAMEFUL. But, the left has done their best to remove the shame aspect.

Blumner is either an ignoramus or a typical deceitful lib scribbler. Or both. At no time do these overpaid, undereducated nitwits ever ask the question if we are spending our way to Greece-type insolvency. With these morons it's always the same tiresome drivel about middle-aged white men worrying about their "privileges" being taken away by minorites.
Has Blumner ever ventured outside her self-imposed lib cocoon and actually talked to people with conservative beliefs and asked them why they believe what they believe? Does she ever ask herself what the proper role of government should be? I seriously doubt it. Instead, Blumner offers up the same moronic, pompous, class warfare, leftist talking points you've read thousands of times.
To: KeyLargo
Ah, a “humanist”, someone that believes in the full autonomy (unaccountability) of humans, that “reason” can discover truth, and that mankind is perfectible if only the right environment is imposed on them.
When you start out with your feet dangling in mid-air on a false worldview, you’re going to reach obviously flawed conclusions such as she has.

See; here the moonbats go again. It’s all the working-class white guys’ fault. If he didn’t go to Berkeley but chose to work his ass off doing what HE wanted to, and then falls on less than good times, HE’S RACIST AND THE CAUSE OF ALL OF THE BLACK MAN’S PROBLEMS - especially Obammas’. Somebody please flush!

Not an original thought here.
