So Ms Parker [HERE] now recommends personal responsibility, ownership and faith as the mission for the NAACP and suggest they have not embraced such tenets all along . She is not only arrogantly wrong about the NAACP but a purposely and insidiously disingenuous messenger. Ms Parker is of a dubious background to be an heralded expert on social and fiscal policy , being a former welfare cheat , gang member and now person of faith qualifies one quite narrowly, I think . Further,she has had even more dubious proponents, in her brief period of righteous acclaim ; Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity hardly qualify as considered thinkers or policy experts .
Sadly , our nation's plutocrats use their Star Parker's primarily to help create a veneer of legitimacy and acceptance for their anti-civil rights, anti-just society agenda. If she were just misguided , a big alarm clock
and some expresso might help her. But as we know this is not a case of simply being misguided , so I suggest she undertake a more complete review of the teachings of Christ , especially the passages about helping our
fellow man .
Her adopted plutocrat infused brand of personal responsibility, ownership and faith bidding is the same " don't fight for your rights , just bend over and take it" , message conservatives have been spewing since the
days of Ronald Reagan's sermonizing to the bootless to " pull yourself up by your own bootstraps " . At the same time they proselytize a "society don't owe you nothing " message to the middle class and the poor , they cut
taxes for the richest among us and shift the tax burden to pay for programs favored by the rich to the middle class and the poor , David Cay Johnston lays out this little slight of hand in his book " Perfectly Legal. "
Further, while preaching their disingenuous self-serving "help thy self"crap to those least able to do so , these plutocrats gut labor and civil rights laws , eliminate funding for legal aid to the poor , cut funding for food , shelter and healthcare to the disadvantaged, pretend to increase funding for education and flood the country with illegal quasi slave labor .
Star Parker's patrons think nothing of funding Star Wars like defense programs , corporate agriculture subsidies and trade programs and policies which primarily benefit the top managers of corporations and the wealthy. They have created an America in which Wal-Mart is now our nations largest employer and are to selfish to recognize that this kind of economic reality threatens even themselves along with everyone else ; 66% of our economy
depends on consumer spending , now ! just what are we gonna buy on a Wal-Mart incomes.
Finally , the NAACP hardly benefits from or needs consultation from a wiling or unwitting serpent in the garden.
