Vice President Biden has heated up the campaign rhetoric this week by stating that Republican’s “Don’t Get Us.” Speaking before a crowd of manufacturing workers, Biden specifically said, “I resent when they talk about families like mine that I grew up in. I resent the fact that they think we’re talking about envy; it’s job envy, it’s wealthy envy, that we don’t dream.” He went on to rant that, “My mother believed and my father believed that if I wanted to be president of the United States, that I could be, I could be vice president! My mother and father believed that if my brother or sister wanted to be a millionaire, they could be a millionaire! My mother and father dreamed as much as any rich man dreams!
Now lets analyze that little rant folks. Let me begin with a little background of my own. My mother was a homemaker and my father built truck tires for a living at the local Kelly Springfield plant. We were not rich by any stretch. My Dad worked harder than any man I know so I know first hand what a “manufacturing” job is. I worked construction and maintenance jobs while attending college. I know what work is. I learned real early what it was by cutting lawns for a few bucks. My Dad taught me all those things.
My parents taught my brother and I to dream. They encouraged college. The encouraged us to take chances and do great things. We were pushed to do well in sports and in school. Competition was a good thing in our house. My Dad taught me that America was about opportunity and that if we worked hard we could become very successful and yes well off.
Here is where the comparison between Vice President Biden and I stops. The very dream he was ranting on is being destroyed in America now by folks just like him. We have a Vice President and President who tell American’s they need to “pay their fair share.” They tell us that if you work hard and become successful you must pay the highest tax rates in the modern world. They tell us that success is nothing but luck and that the “fortunate” owe everyone else.
Most incredibly they have promoted policies that punish success. They openly promote income re-distribution. The very policies they promote have actually encouraged the “disadvantaged” to remain in that place in their life. That is perhaps the biggest lie of all. Vote democrat if you are a “working man.” Really? I mean honestly?
So Mr. Vice President, do not preach to those of us who work hard and take chances. We believe in America and the American Dream. We know that America guarantees everyone a shot. It does not guarantee everyone the same shot or even success. Knowing the difference is kinda big deal Mr. Vice President.
He’s right. We don’t them. We don’t get how they can punish our success, while they become successful. We don’t get how they trash the wealthy 1%, when they ARE the 1%. We don’t get how they think it’s ok to kill innocent unborn children and throw them out like yesterday’s trash. We don’t get why they trash our troops. We don’t get why they apologize to our enemies and ignore and disrespect our allies. We don’t get them at all…
I would have to say that the BONDS/CHAINS OF POVERTY ARE alive and well, WITHIN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY…..NOT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY…. BONDS…..CHAINS…??? MORE WELFARE??? Make sense? Ring a bell?”…….TO ALL you, including acquaintances of mine, who call Black Republicans “TOKENS” or “UNCLE TOM” …..MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, THE SMALL NUMBER OF BLACK REPUBLICANS IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE “HUGE NUMBER” OF BLACK DEMOCRATS LIVING OFF THE TAX PAYERS (BONDS/CHAINS OF POVERTY)…………Black Republicans are, perhaps, living the American dream.,…taking advantage of the LAND OF OPPORTUNITY…FREEDOM FROM THE BONDS/CHAINS OF POVERTY(taken advantage of by the majority of Black Democrats.) Why insult a BLACK REPUBLICAN who is successful by calling them TOKENS OR UNCLE TOMS? Is this really what you think of CONDI RICE? She is the highest example of a successful and wonderful, decent BLACK REPUBLICAN., as are all the other BLACK REPUBLICANS I see. They are NOT BEING USED by the party….they are TOO INTELLIGENT AND RESPECTABLE FOR THAT. I happen to have 9 biracial great grands so I have a lot of contact with Blacks. I better shut up. I hope I got my point across.
BTW…As far as COUNTING Blacks at the RNC….THERE WEREN’T THAT MANY BLACKS AT THE DNC…MAYBE 1%.
