Unfortunately when you have black men making a rap video and publishing it on You Tube on how they are abusing their link cards, and let me be very clear here, not just black men or women abuse these cards, all kinds of men and women are doing it, then yes the system is getting abused. We have people getting 600-800 dollars a month, and not working for 99 months or more, and that is in several states in some cases, example in indiana and in illinois so they are getting 1200-1600 dollars a month instead of going to a job. This is an extreme abuse of not only these young men and women talents, but they are settling for less than they are worth in the working world. In many cases this goes back four generations. If you are in a neighborhood that is the same kind of neighborhood you parents grew up in, your grandparents, you are in a co-dependent system number one, and number two the people representing you like you not to live to your full potential, so they can keep you in their pocket. When politicians cannot provide continuous improvement in the places that you live, then they aren't doing you the service you hired them to do. Example in Jesse Jacksons district, they were appalled at fist fights in those chicago neighborhoods now we get 90 calls each for three ambulance services because of all the knife and gun wounds in gang turf wars. In other words long as you are struggling, you can't see what they "Jesse Jackson Jr." for example isdoing to you. If he were doing the right thing, you'ld be living in middle class neighborhoods in the very hood you live in now. It's a national disgrace how these people are railroaded into this audacious political system, and caught in the middle of it for a link card. How about getting them a $4,000 a month job friends, now that givers them a fair shot, link cards just perpetuated the problems and make them dependent on the politicians that they serve in the ballot boxs. it is a national disgrace. The real issue is not the link cards that are getting abused, the real issue is the political system that serves link cards instead of decent jobs, decent educations, and decent lives. The same people in charge of those areas in this world are the same ones holding these people down.

Mr Rick Santorum you clearly said Black in this video as well as another one i saw on the internet can't take it back now Be a True and Honest Christian Man you claim to be and own up to it. If you can't then you are not the Christian you say you are. Let me remind you that christ died for all of US.

Dear friends,

Our Economy is so BAD, that in times of Huge Unemployment,
a Couple of Military Soldiers are using iPhones without a world wide web and
the others large group of soldier are still using Expensive Satellite Communication to contact home base!
Watch Military Communication Today;
1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKamHymiZF4&feature=related
2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag3YRQedEMw&feature=related

That 's how Bad the Economy is!

Advice:
In order to cut the expensive satellite defense communication budget
President Barack Hussein Obama,
The United States Congress (the House of Representatives & the Senate) and
The United States Secretary of Defense (Leon Edward Panetta) must provide
ALL(Junior, Senior and Admiral) Soldiers iPhones with a World Wide Web Internet access,
where the soldiers have Face to Face Real-time Conversations(Military Skype Conversations) with families at home!
Unfortunately, the military ISRTUBE does not provide Face to Face Real-time conversations with families at home!
iPhones with a World Wide Web Internet access will;
- Reduces Defense Cost,
- Creates Less Troubled American Families and Less Troubled Soldiers,
who will deliver Excellent work in Deterring war and Protecting the Security of our country!
WATCH How Internet is working in the USA Today;

Jurgen R. Brul

PS. May Our Good Soldiers and Civilians, who Serve and Protect Their Nation, Rest in Peace!

He totally said "Black People's lives easier" and it's something he should just apologize for. Don't deny it just apologize. Your going to make mistakes when you are speaking. Go back to the video, watch yourself say it, and then say that you are sorry and totally didn't mean to say it. I meant something else just sounds cheesy. Someone someday in the political arena will stand up for a comment they made and apologize for it instead of trying to dodge it. I think it will help in the long run to just be honest about it.

He said "bly". Something like when you start to say "big" and "huge" at the same time and come out with "hig". He did not say "black".

Sharpton and Jackson have complained about black unemployment, black poverty, and black families relying on welfare because of lack of hope. I didn't hear the same outcry. Wonder why?

Yes I definitely see the far left socialist demos as the true MODERN SLAVERS!

Hyack's (sp) book "The road to serfdom" has it right on! That is where we are headed as a nation at this point. WE will all be needing food stamps if we don't follow a course of less govt. spending without raising taxes on anyone or thing. The Government must be cut down to do ONLY what the Federal Govt. is expected to do...defend the nation.

I have already said what I think is the key point in this flap about what Newt and Santorum have said about "better to work for the money than steal it"

If the Black leaders focused on altering the present status of the general black role MODELS all of us would be better off (except of course the neo slave owners.... the Democrat party. The country needs more right wing black leaders to show themselves and shine. There are MANY )AND
I DOUBT THAT HAVING A 13 LONG MISTRESS HAS ANYTHING TO DO DO WITH THIS.)

Is this the best that the Republicans can do for sincere representation?

The best man for President is in the White House right now! My President and his administration managed over 20 natural disasters in three years, managed 2 wars that someone else botched up and started, two major man made disasters and a group of Republican thugs that's been on government welfare by taking a pay check for over 8 years and doing nothing! My President put the lights out of almost every enemy that has plagued us over the last 30 years, came to the rescue of millions who lost their jobs and homes from 2001 to 2008 and you guys wasted time looking for a birth certificate. IS THIS THE BEST YOU CAN? Stop looking at your skin color and look and listen to your brain! He put the respect back into the White House by addressing the problems that was left behind.
ASK these rich boys to disclose their secret bank accounts and their hands on trading with the communist China! Now that the straight talk for you and I have been working since I was 12 years old, almost 60 now, six well educated children, and have never seen a welfare check or government cheese!
SAY SOMETHING THAT IS RESPECTFUL!
