Former NFL Pro Explains Why He’s a Republican: Democrats Are Destroying Black Communities
Independent Journal Review ^ | 8-8-14 | Michael Hausam

Posted on 08/08/2014 5:10:00 PM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

Garry Cobb played football for USC and then for 11 years with the Philadelphia Eagles. He is now running for New Jersey’s 1st District seat as a Republican, and his explanation of why he is no longer a Democrat is very compelling.

Explaining that he kind of discovered that he was Republican due to his upbringing, he said that the massively negative effects of Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty had the most impact:

This was an incentive for the man to leave the home and it’s destroyed African-American families throughout the country.

I didn’t realize it but as I started thinking about it and growing up, because as a kid going to college, you know I was all into the Democratic Party and everything; then I started realizing they helped destroy our communities and we’re supposed to be celebrating electing these people.

One of the towns in our areas, Camden, is still suffering. I want to put an end to this.

He goes on to explain further how the Democratic party and its policies have impacted youth, the economy, and more. He has some not-so-complimentary things to say about the President as well.

It’s refreshing to see a man in a position like Cobb’s so clearly explain why liberal economic and social policies are not as compassionate as many are led to believe…

good for him he figured it out. i hope he also figures it out how planned parenthood primarily targeted blacks to abort their children. again, democrats destroying the black family from another angle of attack.

i tink that’s actually how we get them seeing clearly. angles of attack on the black family by democrats while they tell them they are helping them.

He’ll be labelled an uncle Tom. People won’t wake up until a very important figure says ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Someone so entrenched in the Democratic party or someone so progressive that it would shock even us. Someone like Hillary Clinton, or John Kerry, coming out and saying the Democratic/Liberal ideology is a fraud.

But I agree, FIGHT ON! Kudos to this man.

Democrats are destroying black communities. Democrats are destroying white communities. Democrats are destroying American communities. Democrats are destroying America.

I hope Mr. Cobb’s thinking is broad.

Yep.

But there is a way to instantly overcome this.

It’s called sales !!!!

There is a very simple way to take way any and all attacks that will be leveled at him.

Getting rid of the black middle class and black communities with their own businesses and so forth was the primary goal of "Urban Renewal".
