Profiles in Countermoonbattery: Star Parker
Kudos to Star Parker, for placing the blame for poverty in this country where it belongs: on the doorstep of Dems and their phony "war on poverty."
As she recently told the Heritage Foundation:
After 40 years of failure, they still insist that they want to expand this war, that they think they should pour more money into this war. Already, over $3 trillion has been spent on the war on poverty, and so far, we've not seen results.
Unless of course you count the results that Democrats actually seem to be after: more poverty, resulting in more government dependency, resulting in more votes.
Parker points out that the war on poverty is actually a war on four other things: family, thought, tradition, and religion. From her speech:
The poverty that we see today is directly related to people having children outside of marriage and then not working to support those children.
They started with the war on the Black family, and they totally destroyed this family. They spread this message of moral relativism and welfare dependency.
Lots of liberals got hold of the Black community and started convincing them that there is nothing wrong with dependence on government — we started seeing the Black family destroyed. We saw welfare policy enter in with rules that say don't work, don't save, don't get married, and we'll fix all of your life problems for you.
If only someone would fix the problems this creates for society. Parker credits the war on poverty for two out of three pregnancies in the black community ending in abortion, and seven of ten children who make it past Planned Parenthood et al. being born out of wedlock. Family breakdown inevitably leads to three awful things: crime, government dependency, and more power for liberals.
Parker knows what kind of trap the libs set, baited with free money extracted from our paychecks. She was a single welfare mother herself. Unlike many, she had the strength of character to rise out of that pit by becoming a Christian, getting an education, and starting a magazine. Now she's founder and president of the Coalition on Urban Renewal & Education (CURE), which focuses on faith-based and free market solutions to poverty.

Sounds like she does have a clue.
She realizes after all these years, that people or groups that are seen to be in desperate straits are painted there by people who have more to gain who want to keep them there.
The Jesse Jackson's and Al Sharpton's of the world realize that offering up un-realized achievement on the part of black people is the white man's fault and that blaming the social and economic ills of the the blacks on a shadow white establishment has played its last tune.
They have help set up a contra-social and economic sub-culture they does not want to join modern day American life but wants to do everything they can to oppose the very base ideals which will lift them out of the despair these two have wrought on their minority population.
The sooner the blacks in this country realize that Jackson and Sharpton are nothing more than organized crime, in the name of social justice, the better off the vast majority of the blacks will be.
Hey, to all you blacks in despair out there; go to the Jackson or Sharpton mansion tonite and ask the to help you or take you in.

Put her on The View instead of Whoopie Goldberg.

Star Parker is AWESOME. Her columns are a joy to read and I email them to the Rainbow Coalition from time to time for Jesse "SHAKE EM DOWN" Jackson to read.

I've enjoyed reading Star Parker's commentary for some time now. She's a voice of sanity in a world that increasingly seems crazy.
I wish more people would listen.

it's really a shame that most blacks will rate her right up there (or down there, depending) with michael steele, thomas sowell, alan keyes and others.
people in need rarely listen to the voices of reason and that's what it boils down to - quick fixes.
word picture:
we had a tire on one of our vehicles that was going low through the course of the last few months - we invested about four bucks a week putting "fix-a-flat" in it - that was $16 a month! i'd had enough and finally took it to the tire shop and had them fix it - NINE BUCKS! he informed me that it's difficult to fix a tire that's been filled so much with "fix-a-flat" and to please bring any tires in before doing so.
moral of the story: "fix-a-flat" exacerbates the problem in the longrun.

Star has been a guest member of the View. She is a Christian conservative and hasn't been asked back.

I remember that appearance...she was "shushed" by Baba Wawa.
