Tim Mak / The Daily Beast:
Democrats Pay Black Staffers 30% Less — Campaign staffers who are people of color routinely get paid less than their white counterparts, and are often given less glamorous jobs. How an antiquated understanding of race relations results in minority staffers getting the short shrift.
Editor's notes: They are further down the wage scale than before Obama. They are less employed than before Obama. They are less honored within the Democrat Party than before Obama. Because of Obama's opposition to charter schools and parental choice, black youth have fewer educational choices and remain less successful, educationally. The current immigration crisis takes jobs away from Blacks, more so than any other ethic group. And, all this, the result of policies of the First Black President, a man who surrounds himself with black staff. There is no greater irony in American politics, today, than the First Black President governing with help of members of the black community, and, yet, a leader who has done next to nothing for his ethnic constituency.
The one existential issue that is most consistent in the life of B Hussein Obama, is his remarkable duplicity. He accepts credit but never blame, charging Bush, for example, for the economy and Iraq when things are going poorly but claiming credit when the news is good.
He prefers a lie to truth, yet, exemplifies little ability to manage his lies, seldom looking at the long term results. ObamaCare is the perfect example of this last point. Never once, during 2009 - 2012, did this man tell the truth about his only major piece of legislation . . . . . not once. I say "prefers," because I believe turning to the lie is a pathological circumstance in his life, a man who used the lie to win friends and influence people; raised without a father, by a mother who had no sense of direction in her life. hence, her atheism. "The lie" worked for him over the years. He appears to be the king of the hill in high school, dating and running with the beautiful people, the whites, until he entered college. Once there, he realized that color and ability to talk, when combined, served purposes that extended his influence and power, and, so, he became "black." Unfortunately, he learned his "blackness" from the rebel crowd typified by Jeremiah Wright. Over the years, he became an angry black man, while having had nothing to do with the black issues of the civil rights movement, or the meanness of the Southern Democrat hatred for blacks. His anger, today, is the result of an academic bias to the white man and the cultural/plantation circumstance that was taught him.
At any rate, implicit promises of "hope and change," solely based upon the color of his skin, drove blacks to him to the point of writing songs of worship, song to tunes once dedicated to Jesus. And, now, at the end of his political life as an American politician (he may continue on the world scene if he pays homage to the power brokers at that level, as he has done, domestically), disillusionment within his own ethnic community is becoming more and more of a reality. He has no time left, in 2014, to get anything of merit done, and only 2015 before national politics, without him, becomes the dominate news of the day. For the first time in his adult life, he is faced with personal failure, and has no idea how to handle the matter. He has failed and cannot solve the problem with "bullshit," and he is lost.
He came into power, thinking his election and the related super-majorities in Congress would be enough to complete his dream without the cooperation of anyone else. As it turns out, he was defeated in this effort, by ambitious members of his own party, not the least of which were Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. The confusion and ineptitude we so often attribute to Obama, is as much a fault of his party's leadership, as it is an indictment on his person. His refusal to prioritize Black domestic needs at any level, is one of his poorest presidential monuments. As a result, we have the above headline.
Haters gonna hate.
ReplyDeleteBigots gonna hate.
Bad enough to be a loser, but a sore loser is worse.
You should know. You never stopped talking down Bush, after he won two elections and talked the Congress into supporting him in Iraq. That's all you Marxists do - spread hate and division. 250,000 died in the Civil War because of you Democrats and your refusal to give up on slavery. Then you all resorted to the KKK and killing as many blacks as you could. Your environmental crap has killed 20 million in Africa because they could not stop malaria. Your war on Coal is costing the poor, in the north east, dearly. ObamaCare has turned this nation's work week into a 30 hour affair, while the morons in the Progressive Movement preach deliverance from "job lock," not understanding that a part-time job does not supply a living wage. Just a bunch of Marxist Morons . At least you haven't reproduced, but maybe that is because you have your problems with marriage is it that you spend too much time in the bathroom? You all are kind of a joke, and with the new media, you no longer have the overwhelming power of the bully pulpit.
ReplyDeleteYou don't even know what Marxism means. It is a buzz word popular with Tbaggers, that infers some boogyman. You didn't even know what 'teabag' meant as slang. You just throw words around with ignorance, having only some dim concept of what you speak in your small hidebound brain.
ReplyDelete"T-bagger" is either a complimentary word referring to the Boston tea party event, or it is an expletive, intended to deride and insult those to whom the word is directed, your bullshit pretense aside. I know exactly what the word means in the profane world, and is a filthy minded term, used as an accusation, not a compliment.
DeleteSecondly, Marxism, in its original definition, has proven to be a failed concept. Societies are never over-run by the common man, resulting in a classless society . . . . . never. Russia failed in this sense of the term. China, has incorporated free market values and processes, and has saved its economy, as a result. And, in America, "Marxism" is used to describe a postmodern revolt against the traditions and founding principles of the once great nation, A :classless society is now "a world without borders," and "capitalism," while hated by the Progressives Malcontents, is only hated for the purpose of winning election. Neo-Marixism is about societal control, a new-world order that exludes old fat cats to make room for the new fat cats. Because Marxism is grounded in the dialectical materialism, it cannot allow any form of mysticism. In context, "God" is a mystical concept, not a material or physical concept, and must be excluded for that reason.. . . . . . his followers included. Neo-Marxism results in a "servant state," where all are enslaved by the state, are benefited by the state, work for the state, and whose lives are ordered by the state.
BTW, we are not going to continue the discussion of "t-bag."
