The Penetrating Intelligence of Jesse Jackson Jr.
Belmont Club ｻ Economics 101 Where do jobs come from?
Jesse Jackson Jr continues his thoughts on the subject. In the video below he claims the Ipad is threatening employment at Borders Bookstores.. Earlier, Jesse Jackson Jr waxed poetic on the potential of the Ipad and wanted to change the Constitution to make sure everybody got one. But that was before he realized they closed bookstores.

Your Say
The mental state of Jackson, father or son, are the result of the silence caused by enforced public toleration. Even outright malice will correct faults which flattery causes. Disrespect is what they need, but we are conditioned to indifference or aversion.

We are conditioned to not speak the truth, James, because the truth is this: These are men and women, as with Obama, Maxine Waters and all those black mayors, and self-appointed leaders who have benefited from White Guilt.
Affirmative Action promised a leg up, a leveled playing field, and instead delivered to us men and women with university degrees who, not getting what they want because they were incompetent, became politicians. We look away at the failures of welfare, of failed urban schools, of violent ghettos and prisons filled with mostly black men, and refuse to acknowledge the ruinous consequences of white liberals' good intentions.

I'll call that hand, Jewel, and raise you: they are not and never were well-intentioned. What the Englishman famously said was not that they were well-intentioned, but that they meant to think well of themselves. This they do, no reflection and no limits.

No "collective salvation" for you, james and Jewel! And I'm afraid neither of you will qualify for the iPad either, even though it technically falls under "the pursuit of happiness" like Obamacare. I don't think they actually believe a word of what they preach, even if their sheeple do. But as long as they can blame racism and then use it to demand more and more entitlements, why should they be required to actually "believe" in anything?

RC is right. The constituency of dumb, black welfare queens is the Jacksons' access pass to the government teat, and as long as that constituency remains dumber than they are (not a high bar), the Jacksons will continue to prosper.

When Obama runs out of his 'stash', it will be on his watch, and we'll see how monolithic his peeps and homies remain.
