Subject: Fw: Brilliance in 3 Parts...

Part I:
D. In three generations, there will be no Democrats.
I love it when a plan comes together; don’t you?!
Part II: 10 Poorest Cities in America  (How did it happen?)
City, State, % of People below the Poverty Level
1. Detroit, MI 32.5%
2. Buffalo, NY 29.9%
3. Cincinnati, OH 27.8%
4. Cleveland, OH 27.0%
5. Miami, FL 26.9%
5. St. Louis, MO 26.8%
7. El Paso, TX 26.4%
8. Milwaukee, WI 26.2%
9. Philadelphia, PA 25.1%
10. Newark, NJ 24.2%
What do the top ten cities (over 250,000 pop.) with the highest poverty rate all have in common?

Detroit, MI- (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961
Buffalo, NY- (2nd) hasn't elected one since 1954
Cincinnati, OH- (3rd) not since 1984
Cleveland, OH- (4th) not since 1989
St. Louis, MO- (6th) not since 1949
Milwaukee, WI- (8th) not since 1908
Philadelphia, PA- (9th) not since 1952
Newark, NJ- (10th) not since 1907


Part III:
"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
~Abraham Lincoln

~Henry Ford

  God HELP America!

Yes sir. And here's further proof that the Dems definitely need new "leadership": http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/reps-nancy-pelosi-elijah-cummings-fall-for-fake-flynn-account-on-twitter/ar-AAmX5hD?li=BBnbfcL&ocid=mailsignout

Dumb donkeys....

In a world where most Republicans seem to get their information from Fox News, I'd be careful about throwing stones.

On another note, the poor and poorly educated appear to have been behind the election of our current train wreck of a President.

As CharlieE already noted, I thought it was the poor, most particularly working class white men, who voted in droves for Trump. So I guess we'll see how that works out.

My other understanding was that the majority of Trump voters voted for him specifically because he wasn't a typical entrenched politician in either party. I'm still hearing his voters talk about how they wanted a businessman - I think that's a mistake, but that's just me - who was not part of either party's entrenched establishment.

Not only false, but grossly false. Miami has had Republican mayors for the majority of the last century. Including since 2009.

It's easy to flip this shit on its head and ask about the poorest states. Any guesses? Top 10 poorest states by percentage below poverty line:

1) Mississippi
2) New Mexico
3) Louisiana
4) Alabama
5) Kentucky
6) Arkansas
7) Georgia
8) West Virginia
9) Tennessee
10) Georgia

9 deep red states out of 10. In most of them the GOP controls the entire state government. They keep voting for Republicans and they keep staying poor. Maybe some day they'll wise up.

Lincoln was dead and buried 50 years before this was written.

Jeez, there you go, expecting RWD to be able to tell facts from alternative facts! If he could do that, he'd be a Left-Wing Dad.

delagar said...

As for the cunning plan in Part I, yes, please do follow that plan. Back off and stop trying to enforce your own personal notions about religion on other people.

I don't even care if you hug yourself gleefully and pretend you're doing it because you're going to outbreed us eeeevil progressives, just so long as you do it.

Seems to me that Native Americans were doing just fine until the Whities, like Henry Ford, muscled their way into this country and commenced to killing and enslaving Native Americans by forcing them on long marches away from their native lands. And if whites discovered that some reservation or another had valuable resources on it, then the Native Americans were forced to move somewhere else perceived to be of no value to whites.

Nowadays whites continue the usual treatment of Native Americans by forcing unsafe oil pipelines across rivers on their reservations (forced there by the US govt), while ensuring that rivers where whites live aren't jeopardized.

Henry Ford was a noted racist, so it's unsurprising that RWD would venerate his very disingenuous and super racist quote. It's used all the time by racist RWD to diss minorities and poor people.

Yet another head fake by rightwing think tanks to pit poor white RWD against other poor people, who happen to be minorities, including Native Americans. Nice going, RWD. You're easily played, as usual.
