"My appeal was for the moral content of his message to not only deal with the personal and moral responsibility of black males, but to deal with the collective moral responsibility of government and the public policy which would be a corrective action for the lack of good choices that often led to their irresponsibility.''
It is the gubments "RESPONSIBILITY" to take corrective action for an individuals lack of good choices, where is that in the constitution?
Is it the lack of good choices that leads to irresponsibility, or is it more likely that irresponsibility leads to lack of good choices?
Its a question of liberties versus gubmint control. A free state vs a totalitarian state. And it all starts with the idea of free society vs a welfare state.
Once the government was viewed as the guardian of the individual's welfare, that role of authority over choices was naturally shifted to said government. Responsibility of government then seems to take on bigger and unconstitutional proportions. That is exactly what big brother and all totalitarian governments allege, that they are working for the common good.
Responsibility for choices made by individuals, or even states, was never intended by the founding fathers. The idea of the federal government as responsible for our choices started in seemingly necessary issues such as slavery in the days of the civil war, and the socialist programs of FDR during the depression and WW2, two of the worst presidents as far as freedom from federal tyranny.
Today the tyranny is helped by seemingly polar opposites. Special interest groups of all types are crying for the government to address their agendas. It may have seemed like a good idea where racism and economic oppression was found. But somehow we let those issues morph the federal government into the role of "the decider".
#2 Another racially motivated loaded question by PBR.
Your statement is racially motivated. Why do you put down responsible black men? Do you think only black people should be allowed to talk about other black people? All #1 was doing was quoting what black American Barak Obama said. You're just like those stupid black people who called Bill Cosby an Uncle Tom for telling the truth. Get off your darn high horse!
I'm sure you would call it something negative if I had said Barak Hussein Obama while saying Hillary Rodham Clinton is ok.
Voting for either candidate and race are both irrelevant to whether or not it is the gubments responsibility to take corrective action for an individuals lack of good choices.
