It’s ludicrous, it really is. Everything the left touches, it seems, gets ruined. And the crazy thing is that, in some skewed way, they really DO have the best of intentions.
They had the noble idea of helping the down-and-out and unemployed have a safety net so they could get on their feet. They screwed it up though, and we have Welfare.
They had the noble idea of providing a means for the elderly to supplement their livlihood, in the event that retirement just couldn’t cover their expenses. They screwed it up though, and we have Social Security and Medicare.
And some of their programs are simply laughable. Take affirmative action for instance: Never have I come across such a racist piece of legislature in modern time. Seriously, think about it. “Oh, poor Latino man, are you trying to get a job? Well, obviously you NEED the help, because you are just a poor man of Spanish descent, so we’re going to force someone to take you on, whether or not you are qualified; we’ll just assume you wouldn’t qualify on your own, since you’re a different color.”
“And you, poor little black girl, you want to go to college? Well, obviously, JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE BLACK, you need SPECIAL help, so we’ll single you out for acceptance, based on nothing but the color of your skin.”
Of course, it’s not racist if THEY do it; they’re just helping out those people that are naturally handicapped by their non-whiteness. And they call anybody who doesn’t agree with them racist. Makes me laugh.
They’re always so angry because they see their good intentions go up in smoke, and they don’t get why. It’s because in order for their programs to work, people have to fundamentally different, andthat’s just not going to happen.
And some times, they just screw up horribly. I mean, you can trace the vast majority of Middle Eastern hatred for the US directly back to Jimmy Carter and how he handled the Mecca incident of ’76 (or was it ’77? It was the same time as the embassy attacks back then). Way to go, you guys made the Muslims hate us, because we couldn’t keep our noses out of matters that didn’t concern us.
