Do liberals/socialists really believe that?

Question

government's duty is not to allow social change but to drive change in the direction the government chooses?

Racial preferences, it is what these people are all about, right? Their preferences involve identifying groups "disabled" by society -- victims, because of their lack of competence, must be treated as wards of state.

If you are a non-white do you feel disabled, a victim, do you agree with the Dems that you should be a ward of the Socialist State? Do you like how the Dems treat you as second class citizens? Do you think the Dems are messed up, dead wrong on this issue? Why would you continue to vote for them?

Answer 1

The old stump lines are still in play here in these United States.

People BELIEVE that the democratic party is for the common man, while the Republican party is for the rich man. This sentiment is passed down from the older generations, like the land and grandma's China.

The democrats that surround me, hold very little of the liberal views of today. They are hard working folk, who still have a belief in our government . . . they don't recognize the changes that have been implemented over the years.

A ninety y/o man, infirm and unable to get out of bed, told me one day: "I really like your ear-bobs. I never let my wife wear any, but yours are very nice." A few weeks later, he told me to "get the F outta his house," because he found out that I wasn't a dem . . .

Now, this man was also pro-life, anti-big government, pro-gun, and hated them "'so-n-so' welfare whorz" . . . A FAR right view today, I'd say. Why did he remain a dem supporter? 'cause that's what his daddy was.

Here again, education is KEY. I didn't try to flip this man . . . (LOL, nuts like him aren't crackable) but I did show his daughter-in-law some information. His son is proving to be a tougher sell. He actually likes Hill for pres. as he is certain that she will stop the gas prices from rising.

I can't speak for all, but that's the skinny on why those around here vote the way they do.

Answer 2

Great question. I love how the libs try and label you a racist for pointing out that giving 'special groups' of people unfair back door preferences is ALSO discrimination. Because of the history of civil rights in the United States, struggles for racial justice have had an enormous influence on the language available to talk about rights. Framing
something as a civil right requires grappling with issues of race, even though race may be entirely unrelated to the issue at hand. They are in fact, essentially telling a non-white person--you DON'T have to be as 'good' as your white counterpart--so we will lower the standards and make it nearly impossible for you to succeed. The failure of "racial preferences" that affirmative action embraces forges ethnic solidarity by virtue of setting people up to fail and reinforces feelings that non whites were victims of a racist society bent on their destruction. The democratic party is so blatantly racist it makes me wonder how they themselves (the 'enlightened') don't see it!

Democrats are struck dumb with terror, or reduced to pathetically disingenuous denials that affirmative action violates the sacred Color Blind Equal Opportunity principle.

Answer 3

I think they are sold on the idea of government being allowed to direct social change. They really give no support to a person's individual characteristics, but lump them into groups that they can feel sorry for. I can tell you the idea of education fixing everybody hasn't ever worked. I worked in a town where there were few jobs available locally. Most people drove to the closest large town to work. Those that didn't just kept getting more free education, but refused to go anywhere else to work. That is just one scenario that showed me why you can't fix people who are going to stay at the bottom no matter what.

Answer 4

You're argument is faulty. To identify a race is not to say that they are "disabled." Issues of race have to do with power, and the institutionalized racism that has been a part of our nation since it's beginning. If you don't think that's true then actually talk to someone who tried to buy a house in an all white neighborhood prior to the civil rights laws. The Democrats aren't trying to make anybody a "ward of the state." You've been listening to too much of that drugged up pscyho Rush Limbaugh.

Answer 5

Agrees

Answer 6

So trying to make sure everyone is treated fairly regardless of race is treating them as second class? That is a strange theory.

Answer 7

This is barely coherent. It seems like a stream of consciousness. What I want to know is that do you really think Dems are evil? I think you're misguided and afraid.

Answer 8

With the questions you ask it seems you have racial hatred issues.......
