Changing the Narrative - Why Doesn't Debbie Wasserman-Schultz Want to Help the Poor?

Since I have decided that the only real way to point out to people the stupidity of liberal logic is to turn it around, I am asking the question why doesn't DNC Chairman want to help poor people?  Instead of allowing them to call asking for an ID in order to vote we should be asking them to explain why they don't want to help the poor people who don't have ID's.  According to her 11% of Americans have no valid ID, of which 25% are black .  That would mean that more than 34 million people (8.5 million are black.  Which means she is saying that almost 22% of blacks in this country have no ID) in this country are unable to work, unable to fly, unable to enter many government buildings, unable to open a bank account, and even unable to make a return to major retailer without a receipt.  Since they have no ID or bank account, they must be paying cash.  So the retailers can't look up past receipts.  I had to show ID several weeks ago to make a return to Macy's (I was told today that the poor don't shop at Macy's, well do they shop at Walmart or Target?  They have same policy).  They must be raaaaacist!!!

So the question needs to become why does she hate the poor so much?  What kind of quality of life are these people experiencing without an a valid ID?  Very simple things that most of us take for granted can't be done without one.  I recently carded at a bar when I was out celebrating a friend's birthday.  Sad to say, but I don't look under 21 by a long shot.  

Chairwoman Debbie keeps saying that these are akin to Jim Crow laws and are racist in nature.  She says that there is no issue with voter fraud.  I guess she missed the video of a white kid obtaining a Eric Holder's ballot in Washington, D.C. recently.  I guess she missed the arrests and convictions of ACORN employees too.  But for argument's sake, there is no voter fraud.  Why would states providing  these 34 million people a valid ID to help improve their lives be a bad thing?  Most states will offer these ID's at no charge if you are poor.  In South Carolina, Gov. Nikki Haley funded a program to give ID's at no charge along with free rides to the DMV to get the ID's.  30 people took advantage of it.  Just 30.  This was widely publicized, even making national news.  

No longer allow the question to be why are you so raaaaacist for wanting people to show ID's to vote, ask them why they don't want to help the poor in this country better their lives by having an ID?  No longer allow the far left to dictate the argument.  

Tavis Smiley Getting a Taste of the Race Card

Tavis Smiley, a favorite of mine, is getting a taste of the leftist use of the race card.  Smiley is an activist for issues within the black community.  He wants the issues of poverty and high unemployment addressed.  While he and I agree on that, we strongly disagree with ways in which to accomplish them.  When I talk about the president and how his policies are failing, I get called a racist.  


Well, Mr. Smiley is seeing how annoying it is to have your dissent thrown back in your face.  Smiley was scheduled to be a speaker at a celebration remembering the life of Dr. Martin Luther King and he has been summarily dismissed.  Why?  He has been critical of the president.  


It doesn't seem to matter that Smiley has a point and the needs of the black community have not been addressed under this administration.  The unemployment numbers are reaching historical proportions, the levels of people becoming dependent upon food stamps is growing and has long since reached record numbers.  


The latest numbers are that more than 26% of those on food stamps are black, while they only make up 12.6% of the total population.  That is a staggering number.  Smiley has the right to be outraged at these numbers.  The black community is falling further behind, partially due to the 'great recession", but that is far from the only reason.  


But, apparently, he is not allowed to say so.  Heaven forbid a left leaning black man say anything against "The One".  The great black hope, that has done nothing to deserve that title.  He has done nothing to help that community address the real issues that are plaguing them.  Of course he is the president of the entire country, but there were expectations of what he would do for the black community.  


Both he and Michelle have not really addressed some of the real issues.  Poor educational choices (oh, that's right, they don't believe in choice except when it comes to abortion), rising unemployment, 72% of all children are born to single mothers.  Study after study has shown that babies born into single homes are far more likely to face a life of poverty and are less likely to get a college degree.  Without a good education the chances of lifting yourself out of poverty become almost non-existent.  None of these issues have been addresses by the first family.  


It has been extremely disappointing to see the first black president who by all appearances has a close family unit not addressing the problems within their own community.  He has the perfect platform to stand up and talk about being involved in your child's life.  He grew up without a dad, he knows how that can affect a child.  He knows how that can affect the financial stability within a family.  Yet he says very little.  Michelle should be out making these points, yet she has chosen to worry about obesity.  Not fitness, but obesity.  She has chosen to help create one size fits all government programs to address these issues and force the non obese to comply to them as well.  She spends little to no time addressing the family unit.  


Well Tavis, welcome to my world.  Saying anything against this president means one thing and one thing only, you are a raaaaacist.  The so called black leaders in this country are more interested in appearances than calling the president out on these issues.  Remember when Emanuel Cleaver said this?

“If (former President) Bill Clinton had been in the White House and had failed to address this problem, we probably would be marching on the White House, there is a less-volatile reaction in the CBC because nobody wants to do anything that would empower the people who hate the president.”

So you see Tavis, it has never been about whether the president is addressing the issues.  It is about you knowing your place.  You are not allowed to criticize his holiness.  You are not allowed to the leave the democratic plantation; pointing out that all the poor get under this president is more handouts that keep them dependent.  He is the great black hope, just ignore the fact that his hope and change has been a big fat failure.  As I said, welcome to my world.  


As an aside, maybe Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich were not too far off about there comments there Tavis.  They just may have been on to something.
