Poor Me..........

The liberal left, (progressive), movement in our government, relies on seven base groups for support. Voters in these demographic are the easiest lured toward entitlements. They are.....

Unions
Voters of retirement age
The black community
The youth
The Latino community
The poor
The gay community

The Union support is simply a pay to play relationship. Unions are looking to buy a political edge and favoritism. Campaign contributions from the unions and it's individual members buy the support of the elected official. Union leadership is also riddled with left wing radicals who would love a political career but their questionable backgrounds remove them from consideration for public service. Elected union officials aren't as scrutinized as a government official. Nominee's love the political support of the union base as it represents a large block of voters who vote for politicians the union brass support almost without question. It's what's best for the union and they are loyal to the union because it insures their bread has the butter. As I've pointed out before they sacrifice some freedom for security, and that is paid for by voting blindly for a candidate they might not necessarily approve of, because it's what's good for the union.

The poor, black, gay, and latino communities share a commonality when it comes to choosing their elected officials. Liberals are quick to point out they are oppressed and the rich conservatives are the cause. Liberals use the victim mentality, and promises of entitlements to win their support. I'm all about improving your status in life, but painting yourself as a victim is not the way to do it. Entitlements are handouts, while a hand up is what is required here.

Seniors are pandered to through social security, medicare and medicaid. Promise them increases and you'll encounter little resistance at the ballot box. Challenge those entitlements and you'll find yourself on the outside looking in.

The youth are looking for a better world. They want what they are bequeathed to be peaceful, lucrative, and pollution free. With all those angles handled life would be a breeze,no? Who could blame them for seeking utopia? Look sharp and promise them a better world with a couple of entitlement perks and your the man/woman, they support. Nobody likes the old guy with the money/power, who appears to be dictating what's best for the country.

Liberals promote the wrong assumptions to these groups. Once your beliefs are rooted in misguided assumptions it's extremely hard to come to the proper conclusions. Each of these groups share the same assumption, (What benefits us), not what's best for the country. The left panders to this selfishness. It's extremely difficult to have a rational discussion opposing their beliefs after you've reinforced the ignorance that led them there.

The democrats recently found that out when they challenged seniors and threatened their health care. Fist waving retirees flocked to town hall meetings to give them what for! Isn't it ironic the entitlement programs the progressive left introduced returns to haunt them today? Yet they still plow on ready to pass out more!

Democrats are always looking to expand their support. They can't make you gay, they can't make you black, they can't make you old nor can they make you latino. They can't make you the naive youth of yesteryear, but...... They can make you join the union and they can make you poor. I submit to you that is their agenda. Look for clues!
