Here is what DF American liberals, communists, and progressives will never understand nor accept... The TRUTH from The Great Thomas Sowell.

Oh...if only liberalism would die soon...

Slavery is a classic example. The history of slavery across the centuries and in many countries around the world is a painful history to read-- not only in terms of how slaves have been treated, but because of what that says about the whole human species-- because slaves and enslavers alike have been of every race, religion and nationality.

If the history of slavery ought to teach us anything, it is that human beings cannot be trusted with unbridled power over other human beings-- no matter what color or creed any of them are. The history of ancient despotism and modern totalitarianism practically shouts that same message from the blood-stained pages of history.

If American society and Western civilization are different from other societies and civilization, it is that they eventually turned against slavery, and stamped it out, at a time when non-Western societies around the world were still maintaining slavery and resisting Western pressures to end slavery, including in some cases armed resistance.

Only the fact that the West had more firepower than others put an end to slavery in many non-Western societies during the age of Western imperialism. Yet today there are Americans who have gone to Africa to apologize for slavery-- on a continent where slavery has still not been completely ended, to this very moment.

The party with a long history of slavery (Dem Party for those of you lacking knowledge) continues this policy today and yet few are aware. How could this be?

Great video...some black Americans are speaking out. No doubt the left will paint them as Uncle Toms.

Isn't this quite the conundrum. While many decry slavery in the form of the past enslavement of Blacks, and that of communism, they never seem to see the form of slavery becoming prevalent in the United States in the form of corporatism which can only exist with the cooperation of the government.

This form was also prevalent in the time of the Founders in Europe, especially England, and had its same form in feudalism. Yet we see its rise here.

Perhaps it is just that people can't really handle freedom, and have some innate desire to have a "master".
 
It never fails to amuse me that libs are far more concerned about slaves 160+ years ago than all the ones today. They could actually do something to help but prefer to make up excuses to focus on slaves long since dead and gone. Typical of them really, all talk and no action.
 
Blacks are still treated like slaves by the libs..Consider Blacks. In 1967, Black enjoyed the highest rate of employment in their history. This was before the civil rights act of 1968 and the gigundus war on poverty. Today in 2010, Blacks enjoy the highest unemployment rate, the highest welfare rate at 60% of their total population. They have 96% of their children born out of wedlock. 90% of the jailed violent criminals, highest rate of drug addiction, highest crime rate and I guess we could say the lowest britches in America. That is called losing ground.

So whatever virtues you think the Democrats have shown to the black culture, I would say the direction looks backwards. Eric holder is the guy that said we as a nation don't talk enough about the problems of race.

I have a solution however. My solution is to place every black citizen under the roof of a first generation Asian citizen. Blacks would lean to speak English like Asians, study like Asians, stay in school like Asians, economize like Asians, get a work ethic like Asians, etc.

I love the story of the Boat people. They came from Vietnam were shoved down in the coast off Alabama with one hundred dollars in their pocket. These were real fugitive from the Vietcong.

They lived in shanties, 10 to shed. They sent their kids to school. The fathers went to work fishing, the mothers repaired nets and kept the home. The children were coached in English.

The men were turned away from the fishing boats in Mobile but they remained available for work right on time. The Boat owners gave them a chance and could not believe their work ethic. They became preferred hires over the redneck trash and blacks.

After a year or so the men pooled their money and bought a small but worthy craft. They were laughed at by the big ship owners. The men used their day off from the big ships to man their little boat. And off they went to fish. When they came home, nobody would buy their catch.

So these citizens started driving inland in a truck to sell fish to food joints and other fish shops. And the best fish always went to their customers.

By now the older students had formed a chain through the schools, coaching and instructing the young students. They did not hangout on the streets. The went home each day and instructed the younger children.

Twenty five years later... the top students in the Alabama high schools are all Asians. They have a 100% graduation rate and nearly 100% went off to colleges and studied engineering, sciences, medicine... not black studies like Obama.

Today the American dream lives. At present 60% of the fishing boats over sixty feet in length are owned by individuals that came here as humble boat people. And not surprisingly... They are Republicans!!!!!

So you see it is not about Race at all. It is however about discipline. The American dream is not a big government dream. And it sure isn't the perversion of the Democrat's dream of welfare and socialism for all.
 
I just noticed this from the snip...

Only the fact that the West had more firepower than others put an end to slavery in many non-Western societies during the age of Western imperialism.

Mr Sowell seems to not realize that only the United States ended slavery with the blood fo 500k+ of it's citizens and the destruction of 40% of it's economy. Everyone else, apart from a minor bruhaha or two in Central Amarica, made it moot peacefully over the course of a 50 year span inthe middle of the 1800's. The need for slaves was rapidly dimishing and the practice of paying off the "depreciation" of the remaining slaves made it a simple program to implement and carry out. (This refers to the western hemisphere and excluding Africa which has never really stopped the practice.)

Kinda makes you ask yourself why Mr Lincoln insisted on warfare as the only option here.

Conservatives can never seem to understand that corporatism is not free enterprise. Neither can they understand that most workers in this country are but slaves to their bosses who wield arbitrary power over them while paying coolie wages. I suspect that most of them have never worked in a factory, mine, slaughter house, or other corporate structure. What little benefits and wages they do receive has been the result of organized labor, albeit rapidly diminishing under the yoke of corporate greed.

Yeah, the first thing the Boat People (see Nobull's post above) did when they got to America was set up a union demanding lots of benefits and high wages. Unions are the answer?

Never mind what they did to the Big 3 and are currently doing to American taxpayers. :rolleyes:

I worked in a union factory and did not like it. So guess what? I got an education much like the Boat People.
 
Did you know slavery still exists in America? According to a liberal kook at Newsweek, the Tea Party are slave owners. The Left is out of their minds...but some continue to believe their lies.

SUCKERS!


Better Angels and Killer Angels
A century and a half after Abraham Lincoln was elected, some truths go marching on. Take heed, Obama.

Led by South Carolina (now home to Sen. Jim DeMint), seven of 33 states had already seceded from the Union to form the Confederacy at that point…the secessionists of 1860 are the ideological forebears of the Tea Party movement today.

…there is in American politics today a discourse of such cupidity, bigotry, and self-delusion about the role of government that it would have been familiar to anyone following the rhetoric of the Southern “fire-eaters” pushing the country toward a conflagration 150 years ago.

The rhetoric in 1860, as now, was essentially about throwing off the burden of federal authority, getting rid of the tariffs and taxes Washington imposed, and protecting private property from the depredations of central government. There was one essential difference back then, of course: the private property in question in 1860 was human…

They might have talked about states’ rights and the right to liberty, and many did then, as many do now, but the core freedom defended by those activists of 1860 was the freedom to enslave black people and to spread their racist system of forced labor across the continent.
