Latino and Black Americans - For God's Sake, WAKE UP!

LATINO & BLACK AMERICANS - FOR GOD'S SAKE, WAKE UP!

The pivotal election of 2012 is over. The most liberal, progressive candidate in the history of American politics, with the worst record on the economy in his first term, Barack Hussein Obama, won re-election to a second term by 1.5-2.0% of the vote.

The over-riding segments of the population that enabled his victory were the Black vote (who voted for him by over 90%) and the Latino vote (who voted for him by over 70%).

And they did so, absolutely against their own best interest. Oh, in the short term it can certainly be argued that Obama's campaign of "social justice," and equalizing the playing field from his perspective...which perspective is a socialist, redistribution of wealth perspective at best, and a marxist perspective at worst, is appealing to voters who find themselves as a group in the lower echelons of the American public in terms of employment, family stability, poverty, and crime rates.

When a politician promises specifically to "right these wrongs," and to give these voting blocks "stuff," be it contraceptives, food stamps, a portion of richer people's income, free school loans, easier housing, etc., etc. one can see why people would be tempted to vote for them. And make no mistake, that is exactly what the progressive left is doing, as they have done for decades. Dangling entitlements and free "stuff," in front of people in an effort to buy their vote.

But everything has a cost...as we shall see, the cost is horrific for those whose life styles, livelihoods, and social positioning are adversly impacted.

Despite it being hard to look beyond the entitlements and hand-outrs, it is all the more important to examine the record of the politicians promising such things. Pewrhaps they do so to hide their actual record. What they have actually done (or not done) for these constituencies, is critical to determine before making a decision as to who should lead this nation and address ts economic and social problems.

This nation spends over a trillion dollars on welfare every year. Since the inception of "Great Society" under Lyndon Johnson in the 1960s, this nation has spent tens of trillions of dollars at the behest of the progressive left to try and "equalize," things by "giving" away money, perqs, food stamps, house loans, school loans, etc., etc.

Have things improved?

No, they have not.

By abandoning the time honored and proven methods of hard work, personal accountability and responsibility, advancement due to merit, and the natural competiveness and reward of the free market, these socialist policies have and are failing here in the United States...and failing miserably...just like they have every where else on earth they have been attempted.

The ultimate outcome will be less for all, poverty for more and more, bankruptcy for the nation, and less and less wealth in the hands of the people as a whole, and more and more wealth and power in the hands of progressive government politicians and appoitnees who will live like kings and queens as they "govern" the rest of us. For example, take Barack and Michelle Obama. As President and the 1st Lady, in 2011, their upkeep, outside of official duties in the office of the Presidnecy cost the US taxpayers 1.4 billion dollars alone!.

And while they live like royalty (which Americans fought to gain their independence from in the 1770s and 1780s), here are the brutal statistics for Latinos and Blacks regarding major demographics that they experience day in and day out in the society created by the progressive liberal left:

STATISTICAL DATA BY RACE

UNEMPLOYMENT RATES: (1)
Blacks: 14.3%
Latinos: 10.0%
Whites: 7.0%

POVERTY RATES: (2)
Blacks: 27.3%
Latinos: 25.6%
Whites: 9.8%

DIVORCE RATES: (1st time marriages) (3)
Blacks: 30.1 %
Latino: 18.1%
Whites: 16.3%

CRIME RATES: (Commission) (4)
Blacks: 1.33%
Latinos:0.67%
Whites: 0.47%

CRIME RATES: (Victim) (5)
Blacks: 2.30%
Latinos: 2.00%
Whites: 1.10%

GANG MEMBERSHIP AMONG YOUTH: (6)
Blacks: 31%
Latinos: 47%
Whites: 13% Asian/Other: 9%

Thjese are the results of what Barack Hussein Obama has presided over. A man who took a wholly preventable and manufactured economic crisis in 2008...which crisis was predominantly a result of these same failed policies...and then made it worse between 2008 and 2012.

All of this simply goes to show the abject failure of the progressive, leftists policies that Obama has presided over, and which he will increase in his next four years. The very policies the Black and Latino populations are suffering under...and which they voted for in overwhelming numbers.

WAKE UP FELLOW AMERICANS!

Like a watchman on the wall, the the warning bell must be tolled. Yes, "WAKE UP FELLOW AMERICANS!" Do not succumb to the promise of free "stuff," and social equalization promised by politicians who have failed to improve the lot and standard of living and way of life for the very people they claim to help. They have no intention of "helping," they have every intention of "controlling." They want to ensure permanent voting blocks, taking advantage of people in these bad circumstances...which circumstances they themselves have created and then continually promises to "fix"...a fix which never comes.

They never intend for it to. In fact, the only "fix" is that the "fix is in."

Awaken to your dilema and divorce yourselves from the Pied Piper mentality these leftist politicians and race baiters, and divisive, class envy promoters are peddling!

Instead, hold fast to the time honored traditions and values we all hold dear as Americans...depending on our God and ourselves to provide as best we can for ourselves, and depending on families, our churches, and private charitable organizations to help when in need...and not a government and politicans who want to use the needy for their own ends. No longer listen to or give credence to the absolutely misleading, illogic of the progressive left.

Faith in God, strong families, hard work, personal responsibility, honesty, integrity, the free market, and a reliance on our unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are the keys. No one can "give you," happiness. You must use these fundamental values and then pursue and find it for yourselve! THAT is the promise of America...that you are free to do so.

...and this does not even begin to discuss the 100% moral turnaround this President made on marriage, the most critical and imporant institution in our society, the destruction and demeaning of which adversely impacts every one of those demographich measurements mentioned (and a lot more) listed above. President Barrack Obama stated as the President of the United States, that marirage should be defined as including two men or two women instead of the Biblically revealed and clear principle that marriage, ordained of God, is between a man and a woman.

Beware any man or woman or party that promises a quick fix for you on the backs of others. Or promises that your "special interests," no matter how perverse, will be included as the norm for society. Such politicians are snake oil salesmen of the worst sort and their attempts to use class envy, a promise of free stuff, and thier power in government to force these things are nothing but a deceit and lie to empower themselves at your expense.

God bless America, and God bless her people to turn to Him and His time-honored and proven moral and societal values for our hope and for our success!

Remember, 2014 and then 2016 are coming! How and who you vote for makes a difference...a real difference that has impact beyond the rhetoric and platitudes. Vote for an impact that will allow YOU tp improve your life and that of your children and grandchildren. Vote for self determination, for personal responsibility and accountability, and for real promise...promise that leads to success and your own personal improvement and that of your family, neighbors and friends...and away from this endless captivity and morass.

The will not wake up until Other People’s Money runs out and the resulting unpleasantness gets them nothing more than a shrug and a show of empty pockets by Big Daddy Government.

The Free Stuff Army Is Here!

With a clear choice between Freedom or Free Stuff they chose Free Stuff.

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy."

Blacks are acting as though they can’t take care of themselves. They are letting the government replace the plantation.

Demographics aren’t everything. Obama won’t be running next time, and there is no way for even the donks to ensure that their ultimate candidate has the requisite racial makeup to get out the minority vote.

I love Mexican people. I love their food. I love their culture. I speak their language, albeit badly and slowly.

I hate their politics. They will never change so long as the Dems play to their resentments and give them free stuff. Not going to happen.

Unfortunately, liberalism is opiate for the vast majority of ethnic minorities. You will always have a small amount of Latino and Black Conservatives, but you will never convert the minority masses to Conservatism. They will always see the GOP as the party for wealthy White guys.

Nice preaching in the article but it won’t resonate with the Democrats’ choir.

What you said, well said and same here.
It’s axiomatic that even Americans generally vote their pocketbooks over patriotism.
Why would “immigrants” who don’t speak a word of English choose Uncle Sam over Uncle Sugar? `The gueros are handing out free money!’
The line, I mean—the mob starts at the window where they hand out “free” stuff: One vote=three hots and a hammock. Everything’s free in America. What a great country.

Regarding the gloating grasshapper statists advising us as to what we “have to do to get fixed”: We don’t have to do anything but wait.
The “people” wanted Democracy, well, they’re going to get it—and they’re going to get it good and hard.
You and me and most everyone here, no one here but us ants.
We’ll be fine.

Yes we are...and things look dim...but there is a God in Heaven and if we continue to give our all, He will help us. If He would save Sodom and Gomorah for fifty’s sake, He will save America for 50 million’s sake.

But we may have to pass through the shadow of the valley to get there.

In the mean time, we fight on and do all in our power.

Fight on! Never Falter, Never Waver!

Well, Jeff. How do you propose to do what you want to do when you, even in these phrases, have set yourself upon a throne of superiority? When a socialist liberal talks to me in the tone and with the attitude that you have, that who I am and what I believe make me less than they are, I call that a patronizing tone, and I am immediately closed to anything else that they have to say. Before you fix them, you probably have to fix yourself. That patronizing tone is probably why many Hawaiians rejected the message the missionaries wanted to give them. Can you blame them?

I’ve been around the corner a few times my friend...never is far too all encompassing.

If we try, and if we speak truth and do not attempt to color it...then there will be those that hear...and as time goes on the seeds we plant will take root and they will see and remember. We have to be in this for the long haul and do everything we can.

We do it for our kids and grandkids, and for our fellow Americans. We also do it to show our God we are worthy of His strong arm.

In the end, right will bear sway and win out.

And it may well be we have to pass through the absolute refiner’s fire before we geet there. If so, so be it. but I will do all I can to avoid it if it is possible while still holding fast to and bearing true faith and allegiance to our Constitution.

“Demographics aren’t everything. Obama won’t be running next time, and there is no way for even the donks to ensure that their ultimate candidate has the requisite racial makeup to get out the minority vote.”

That’s true, but what they are building now is a machine, like the Chicago machine that has maintained power there for decades. They have the names of the voters, and they will call, and call, and cajole, and prod, until those those people march into the polls and pull the lever for the Party, or better yet, fill in their ballot at home and send it in. I do think that there’s not much hope for the GOP anytime soon at the national level.

Please...give that up TN. For God’s sake we are talking about the future of this nation and how to best educate people to the evils of this day, and those pied piping them and us to destruction.

I believe in Jesus Christ, He is my Savior as you well know. Get off your rediculous bigotry and self-righous judgemental attitude. This is not a religious thread so don’t bring in here.

Try and contribute to the fight to save the country for all of our kids and grandkids sake.

I do not have the time or the disposition to put up with such sophmoric and self-destrructive banter...so please, take it elsewhere.
