Former San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros accepted a speaking engagement at a local state university campus during the early Nineties. I was in attendance and recall that he was accompanied by an attractive blonde. The woman was an Anglo.

Sometime later, I realized that the woman was the mayor’s mistress when the scandal broke about Cisneros paying hush money to cover up his long term extramarital affair.

The Next Generation, unlike the denizens of Star Trek fame, are here already. They are the babies that qualify mothers for WICs, they are the dependents that qualify them for SNAP. They qualify their parents, usually parent, for EITC, TANF, Section 8 and so on.

On many of my trips to Walmart, I see three generations of them. Baby, no-baby-daddy, Momma (who nearly always could stand to lose 50 lbs) and dear old grandma (not really old because she had her youngun at 15-16 like her momma did). Grandma is there with the SS cash to buy the liquor and cigarettes....

In my little county of north Georgia, the towns and country roads are littered with the hundreds, maybe a thousands or so, of rental trailers (you can tell them by the dozens of Georgia Rental Inspection Decals affixed to them). Most of these ‘residents’ are the current ‘Generation’ raising the next.

Hey ladies! Which would you rather have, an abortion or a j.o.b.?


It’s funny but this comment just hit me like a lightening bolt. With today’s economy of Government Entitlements. You don’t need a J.O.B. all you need is to have kids out of wedlock and you’ll be raking in the Dough, EBT Cards, Section 8 Housing, Cash, Free Medical, etc.

That means you you don’t want or need abortion because you need the kids for the Bennies.

On the OTHER hand if you have the J.O.B. you might need the abortions because you can barely afford to feed/cloth/shelter yourself on what is left over after the Government takes their “Fair Share” of your life, (Time/Money/Blood/Sweat/Toil).

“Julian Castro is no Barack Obama.”

Really? They were both reared by Communist parents. Both are Affirmative Action Harvard products. Both believe that government should provide “social justice,” which being interpreted means, “Make Whitey pay for his sins.” They could be twins....or triplets, since Julian already has a twin who is running for office in Texas.

This bunch of slick, toothy Leftists needs to be defeated at every turn, because their mutual goal is to see if Communism will succeed in the USA after it has failed everywhere else.

Absolutely correct, IMO

To be fair, this is one case where Obama’s “you didn’’t build that”, certainly applies. Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Bart Stupak, Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee, Charlie Rangel, Barney Frank and countless others have had just as much impact on filthying the dem party as Obama has.

“Obviously, the liberal-leftist Dem (or Dim) view of America still holds enormous appeal for America’s yutes.”

That is because they have been brainwashed by the Marxist moron mill that is America’s public re-education system.

The 10th plank of the communist manifesto calls for free public “education”.

“There are plenty of young guns rising in the Republican party.”

Yes, indeed. In the 2010 election, more than 700 patriots and conservatives were elected to state legislatures. They are capable of taking on and defeating the rats. Wisconsin is one example.

These young guns will be moving on to the US Congress and replacing the weak RINO traitors. That task has already started.

We have a very good farm team of patriots and constitutionalists. I believe that Ryan is one of these. Unlike some people here, I’m optimistic for the future.

I think the question is bigger than 'where are the up and coming Democrat Party stars?'. The real question is where is there an elected Democrat, who is a decent human being?

Elected Democrats are one wing of the party, the con men. The other wing were represented by the delegates, the dupes. Those are your choices, if you want to be a Democrat.
