Hillary and Other Democrats Hold the Keys to Heaven and Hell – Good to Know!

Black Americans voted overwhelmingly for Barack Obama. Somehow they thought that having a Black President* would benefit them. In reality, it is a President’s policies that help or hurt people, not the color of their skin. Too bad many people do not understand this simple concept. Nor do they seem to understand what policies help or hurt them. If they did, they would not continue to vote for Liberals.

Since Barack Obama took office in 2009 race relations have gotten worse, not because whites have become more racist under Barack Obama, but because he , Eric Holder and other Democrats have fanned the flames of disaffection in Black communities across America.  Adding to that disaffection is a sluggish economy.  In fact we have had the slowest economic recovery since WWII under Barack Obama, which is, in part, BECAUSE of this President’s anti-business policies.

How has the Barack Obama Presidency helped Black people in America? Contrary to the “Hope” Barack Obama held out for them, they have not fared well. We need to look no further than a comparison of the latest unemployment rate between White-Americans, African-Americans, and Asian-Americans. According to the Barack Obama’s own Federal Bureau of Labor, the unemployment rate in January 2016 for Whites was 4.7%, for Asians it was 3.7%, but for Blacks it was 9.1%.

Now we hear foolish things coming from supporters of Hillary Clinton like, “There’s a special place in hell” for women who don’t vote for Hillary. How is it that Hillary’s gender will somehow translate into a benefit for all women if she is elected? It is the same anti-intellectual thought process that has disappointed so many Black people who thought Barack Obama would be their savior.

Hillary cackles at Madeleine Albright’s “Special place in hell for women” comment in New Hampshire. Silly people in the background applaud the stupidity.

It is the Liberal-progressive politicians’ policies, their obsession with race, their anti-business attitudes and their cronyism that hurts the majority of Americans. While the rest of us suffer, they benefit in power and money. Just look at how much money Hillary and Bill Clinton have reaped in speaking fees from the big Wall Street banks. It may be legal, but it stinks like a dead fish and reveals clearly that Hillary is in the pocket of those banks. Contrary to her promises, she will not be looking out for the little people if she becomes President. She is a snake – forked tongue and dangerous.

Democratic Party – The Party of Diversity?

Presidential Race 2016

Democratic Party  – the self-anointed party of “Diversity”? Which looks more diverse to you?

 Or the Republicans:

Actually the Republican Party is very diverse. It’s just that Democrats and the mainstream media don’t want this truth to be known. It’s part of their duplicitous strategy to keep African- Americans, and other minorities and women from voting for anyone except Democrats. It’s groupthink strategy. Democratic Party – the party of conformity.

Obama’s Lost Generation

“Nice work, if you can get it…”

Excruciating…

Even though I tried to tune him out; I think I heard President Obama call for an increase in the minimum wage during his State of the Union speech last night.

I am sure this idea sounds great to those of his supporters who are attracted to speeches that sound good rather than ones that are grounded in reality. After all, the President’s call really gives an unthinking person the feeling that he, President Obama, really must “care” about those poor people at the bottom of the economic ladder.

For those who believe in this fantasy, I have a question: The U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the unemployment rate in January for Black teenagers was 37.8% and a staggering 43.3% for Black, teenage males. My question is: How will raising the minimum wage help these teenagers find a job?

Answer: It won’t. In fact, raising the minimum wage will increase teenage unemployment. If many business owners cannot afford to hire and pay Black teenagers in their communities the current minimum wage of $7.25 an hour why would anyone with an ounce of intelligence think that the same employers would jump at the chance to hire Black teenagers for the higher mandated wage of $9.00 an hour?

President Obama’s call for an increase in the minimum wage is nothing but pure feel-good politics and it is proof for me that even though African-Americans twice voted overwhelmingly for this man, the first Black President does not really care about what is in the best interest of his own people. If he did, then he would not be pushing a minimum wage increase which will make legitimate jobs increasingly unobtainable for many of America’s  Black youth, and White ones, and Hispanic ones and Asian ones too. If President Obama gets his way, maybe the new minimum wage law should be named the “Teenager Job Prevention Act” or the “Nail in the Coffin of Small Businesses Act,” because these would be truthful titles.

In the alternate universe embodied in President Obama’s rhetoric, bad ideas prosper and are lovingly supported by people who cannot, or who refuse to, grasp reality.

Unfortunately, the young people who are and who will be prevented from entering the workforce by unwise, “progressive” policies will truly end up being the “lost generation.” That is not good.
