WHEN I WAS young, public service television commercials were not uncommon. One of the more famous ones featured an American Indian looking at a polluted landscape.

That American Indian was an Italian American

>>Under the guise of fighting voting fraud, some states are trying to make it harder for low-income people, poorly educated people and seniors who are both poor and non-white to register to vote.<<

Funny. These people seem to have no problem coming up with an ID to get welfare benefits. And an ID with that EBT Debit card? Flashed out faster than a switchblade!

Actually, he was Italian, and, like most of the 60s Great Society garbage, was an invention of leftist society destroyers.

At this point, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?

“I'll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.

1964. LBJ touting his underlying intentions for the "Great Society" programs, as LBJ confided with two like-minded governors on Air Force One.

Dang it. You know you need a BARF ALERT when you post pukeage like this.

Looking back, Long Island was always a very segregated place — maybe not by law, but by economics, and I expect years back, subtle red-lining. As bad as things may be today, they aren't like that.

No kidding. They're worse. Much worse.

That made me gag.

“I see seniors and working moms unable to pay for basic food at a grocery store because they have no government assistance.”

Maybe if most of these Mom’s got married and then had kids they wouldn’t have to struggle. No sympathy from me.

Fifty years after the enactment of the Civil Rights Act, there is a movement afoot in America to rip apart the safety net constructed thread-by-thread by Johnson. I think back to the old commercial about polluted rivers and streams and I see a new commercial: I see people lining up at polling places denied the right to register to vote, I see roadblocks toward higher education, I see seniors and working moms unable to pay for basic food at a grocery store because they have no government assistance. And I see not an American Indian towering on the screen. I see Lyndon Johnson, a complex and not-always-heroic leader, holding in his hands copies of the legislation that created The Great Society. A single tear streams down his face.
 

Don't get me started. GRrrrrr. LBJ was the worst president in history. Even FUBO has yet to reach the substandard levels of evilness that LBJ had. I hope and pray that someday the effects of the Great Sociery will be gone and destroyed forever.

Unfortunately the power, prestige and greatness that was America will likely be destroyed first. Then a rebuilding can occur.

... the only way to ensure that everyone is treated equally is by the passage of legislation that forces that...

Ding! Ding! Ding ding! Ding! Ding ding ding! Ding! Ding!

Progressive ideology is the enemy of freedom and enabler of tyrants. Expressed here in a nutshell. Pretty much explicitly.

And... btw... the Great Society did not create a "safety" net, it created a "poverty" and "dependency" net.

Nah, no attacks: we just want to know what the exit strategy for the “War on Poverty” is.

We’ve been at it 50 years, and seem to be at the “we were waste-deep in Big Muddy, and the big fool said ‘push on’” stage. It’s obviously a quagmire, and we need an exit strategy.

I also wonder the same thing about the “War on Drugs”, which, despite the name being only about 40 years old we’ve really been at for over a century now.

The great society has been and epic failure.

We had subsidized the 80 IQ crowd and granted them more “rights” and resources as their numbers have swelled.

Attack the Great Scoity...it should be ENDED AS A FAILURE.

It’s OBVIOUS that Voter ID is breaking open some pretty sophisticated fraud rings, or the push back would not be nearly as strong as it is, and all on one side.

You DO NOT hear the Republicans complain about people not having IDs, because there are very few - on EITHER side. As posted above, if you’re poor, no ID means no goodies from the government. People have ID. If you use health insurance, you have ID. And the list goes on-and-on.

In fact, if an adult is so disengaged from society to be able to survive without an ID, I don’t think that person should be allowed to vote in the first place.

A superintendent is showing a substandard apartment — it needs a lot of work. If I recall, he shows the bathroom and how getting a nickel washer from the hardware store would fix the plumbing. The commercial's goal was to educate people of color that there were laws protecting them against housing discrimination.

God forbid that a black person be expected to buy and install his own nickel washer.

That would be racist.

“Obama’s signature health care reform is not as radical as the Civil Rights Act was in its day, “

Yet, in order to receive a policy under Obamacare, one must present a valid ID! Must be a racist law afterall...

Morons....

I thought the Civil Rights Act was all about making sure black Americans could not be forced to use separate washrooms and water fountains. Or chased away from the lunch counter. Or made to sit in the back of the bus. Or denied their right to vote so long as they were not a felon.

The over-the-top fantasy that he concocts in this editorial is not surprising. Just take it as a lesson of what type of liberal zealots and fools run newspaper editorial boards.

Call me crazy, but I don’t think low and no information citizens SHOULD be voting. If you don’t understand the basics of government, law, and politics, why should you have a say ?
