When you do not have the truth on your side - smear, smear, smear

| No Comments
This is disgusting and the mainstream media is doing nothing to correct this. From John Hinderaker at PowerLine:
The Democrats Continue Their Smear of Paul Ryan
I wrote here about the Democratic Party�s disgraceful attempt to smear Paul Ryan and Bill Bennett as part of their ongoing fundraising effort. Last week, Ryan appeared on Bennett�s Morning In America radio show and, among other topics, he and Bennett discussed urban poverty. This is what Ryan said, as transcribed by me:
Bennett � Fatherless problem is a big one.
Ryan � Absolutely � that�s the tailspin or spiral that we�re looking at in our communities � your buddy Charles Murray or Bob Putnam over at Harvard, those guys have written books on this, which is, we have got this tailspin of culture in our inner cities in particular of men not working and just generations of men not even thinking about working or learning the value and the culture of work � so there is a real culture problem here that has to be dealt with. Everybody�s got to get involved. So this is what we talk about when we talk about civil society. If you�re driving from the suburb to the sports arena downtown by these blighted neighborhoods, you can�t just say �I�m paying my taxes, government�s going to fix that.� You need to get involved. You need to get involved yourself, whether through a good mentor program or some religious charity, whatever it is to make a difference, and that�s how we help resuscitate our culture.
The party of slavery and Jim Crow responded by sending out an email calling Ryan�s words a �thinly veiled racial attack� and a �dog-whistle to ugly racial politics.� The Democrats claimed�without actually quoting Ryan, of course�that he �told ultra-conservative radio host Bill Bennett that poverty in America is caused by a �culture problem� of �inner city� men too lazy to work.� The Democrats� goal, as always, was to stir up and mislead their party�s faithful so as to raise money. They also called on their followers to sign an online petition denouncing Paul Ryan.
More at the site -- shame on the progressives. What Ryan said was true -- we cannot depend on Government to efficiently lift these people out of poverty. It is our responsibility to help them and to train them. The Democrats do not want to get their actual hands dirty, they just want to keep spending other people's money and concentrating their power. I have said this before but the liberals are operating on Karl Marx's failed theory. Marx was a trust-fund baby and never held a position of financial responsibility in his life. His failed theory was that there is a fixed pool of capital and the inequities of the world stem from an uneven distribution of said capital. Bullcrap -- capital is fungible. It can be created and it can be destroyed. When the banks failed in 2008, where were the trucks carrying away the lost money? A single mom created a multi-billion dollar business in ten years*. Where were the trucks? *Click the link below for the single mom's identity and her business.
