Comments on: Obama’s brand new old idea http://www.blackinformant.com/uncategorized/obamas-brand-new-old-idea Engaging the culture by challenging the status quo Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:52:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: LLR http://www.blackinformant.com/uncategorized/obamas-brand-new-old-idea/comment-page-1#comment-4615 LLR Fri, 20 Jul 2007 13:29:12 +0000 http://blackinformant.com/2007/07/19/obamas-brand-new-old-idea/#comment-4615 I won’t go into deep detail about all of this BS that Obama is talking about, but he just seems like every other Democrat that comes along. I am still waiting for that “moderate” that everyone is talking about. Obama placed the 1000th nail in the coffin for me when he started talking about a permanent assault weapons ban (w/o actually defining what an assault weapon is), sex-ed for 5 year olds and gov’t funded abortions.

Isn't it amazing that people somehow managed to get along before the government got involved in all this sort of stuff? I've always thought the best way to fix a problem is at the point closest to it. Got an elderly neighbor who doesn't have a lot of money and who's house needs painting? Forget about govt grants, etc. That'll take forever. Just take up a collection among a few of the neighborhood guys, and go paint their house for them on a weekend. Direct action beats indirect action every time. The thing is — even these programs that supposedly “work” could easily and much more inexpensively be replaced by a handful of local volunteer parents.
