Judas...there is no way to discuss this with you. Really?
No. Not when you take two completely different concepts, cut out the entire middle and mash them together as if one is the answer to the other.
Society. Is society better off?
About 5% of the country is on government assistance. Of that 5% nearly half have been on it at least two years and 20% more than five.
Lyndon Johnson's idiot ass declared a "war on poverty" in 1964 that dovetailed with the Civil Rights movement.
In 1964 the "poverty rate" was 18% and steadily declining.
Introduce government assistance.
Today the "poverty rate" is 16% and steadily climbing.
Obama increased federal welfare spending by 41% since he took office. To what effect? More and more people swearing fealty to the government instead of finding the way out.
I don't believe in forced anything. I don't believe the government has the right to tell me to whom I can rent my house. If I elect not to rent it to Muslims, lesbians or vegetarians that should be my prerogative. It's MY house, I bought it.
If I buy the land to start a golf club and think I can survive economically by limiting membership to Auburn fans then that should be my right. I shouldn't be forced or shamed into allowing LSU fans to play there if I don't want them.
Should we go back to segregation? I don't know. If you leave people alone and don't force them to do things that's what will naturally occur for the most part. It's what people choose when given the choice without fear. People tend go gather on the basis of similar likes and dislikes, similar cultural references, similar religious practices and similar economic standing -- when left to their own devices.
I don't like artificially jamming round pegs in square holes because the benevolent government thinks its best for me.
I don't like an entire layer of society feeding from the government teat and being herded along like sheep. At some point, and maybe it won't be in our lifetime somebody like Obama is going to decide that he's too important to follow the two-term rule. When that happens there will be enough hogs slopping at the government trough that the opposition will be trampled. And then it will all come crashing down.
I think this country is going to hell in a hurry and those who are driving that hell-bound train do so on the tracks of class warfare -- which in this country is best identified by race.
