I am not surprised by any of this. Romney was a carp candidate.

So we've gone from a goldwater candidate (1964) to a goldfish candidate (2012)?

>>>He also called for “fair trade,” a “domestic trade zone. We need a domestic OPEC,” he said. “In Chicago, for example, there are 100,000 vacant homes or abandoned lots; 40,000 in Baltimore. If we were to rebuild 25 percent, if we take down the boards and put in window panes, fix the broken sidewalks, cut the grass, fix the roofing, we’d create more jobs than there are people, just rebuilding where we live.” <<<

As a matter of fact, he’s correct about this. Wealth is created by adding value to raw materials and creating something new. His problem, though, is that he doesn’t understand that this can’t be done without a culture of hard work, perservance, and sacrifice which comes from each individual. This is why the heirs of the Protestant work ethic, the Jews, Chinese immigrants, and many other cultural groups succeed while other remain in poverty around them.

It would be a blessing for this country to see the black community reach up, buy those homes that are dilapadated or ruined, and spend sweat equity rebuilding them. Sadly, the Rev. Jackson thinks this will happen simply by taking money from some people and giving it to others. Depressing as hell.

God help us.
