LBJ’s so-called “War on Poverty,” like all of Barack Obama’s initiatives, was in reality a “fundamental change” to America, and as such was in reality a “War on America.”

It had nothing to do with “helping,” anyone. It had and has everything to do with entrapping whole segments of society economically and making them dependent and beholden to government so they would vote for those who were “helping” them.

I heard the greatest quote on LBJ last night...I think it was on Fox. Moderator/interviewer was speaking to the usual pair of guests...one Lib, one Con.

He said, "LBJ will go down in history as one of the most underestimated forces of destruction ever."

You could hear the Lib woman actually gasp. It was hilarious.

epic failure

LBJ's 'War on Poverty' was a success as it herded millions of Americans, primarily blacks, into lifelong dependence on government and in the process, ensured the Democrat party generations of voters eager to keep the money flowing by voting Democrat. That LBJ knew exactly what he was doing is obvious and that The Great Society' devastated the black community, first by making single women who were promiscuous even more so by offering them 'benefits' for having children out of wedlock then making black men irresponsible by ensuring that their presence in the home would diminish the income to the mother of their children. Today, we are confronted with a once-unimaginable illegitimacy rate of 70% in the black community. Those same communities are in chaos, infested with crime and awash in drugs. The 'projects' that were intended to offer poor people a decent place to live are usually destroyed by their tenants and torn down.

Just as LBJ predicted, for all the failures of Democrat welfare schemes and the damage they've inflicted on the poor, black Americans still vote for Democrats by huge margins because so many are trapped in the web of government dependence and have not been taught the way out. There are exceptions of course but the majority of American blacks are mired in near-poverty and kept there by 'War On Poverty' policies that are intended to sustain them but never boost them into the productive middle class. LBJ would be proud.

We fought poverty and poverty won.

Our government is run by fools... or government workers who don’t care what damage they do as long as they get money, prestige and influence.

They work to create hell on earth.
