CAN GENERAL MOTORS WITHSTAND THE TEST OF TIME? Folks, I try to leave certain things alone, but I just couldn't hold my tongue any longer or I was going to pop if I didn't vent. What I am talking about is all of this bragging by the shallow minded liberals about saving general motors. Well, I for one have a different opinion about that matter. In my view liberals just simply doesn't have the depth to understand democracy or the free market, period. Our liberal created welfare state is what has created all these shallow minded liberals that are coming out of the wood works armed with unsound judgment. The liberals have not saved general motors what they really have done is made it another big government dependent. The very basics of understanding life, growth, and survival, or just existence itself are to know that you have to get rid of rot, decay, and inefficiency You just simply can't have progress, growth, and long term success without allowing failure. What government has actually done to general motors is create another burden on the American tax payers. And from now on it will always be a burden because its management will never make the hard decisions to get rid of enough rot, decay, and inefficiency to become totally independent and profitable. Sure, it is propped up now, but this government is broke and will soon be going under, then what? This nation has bankruptcy laws which mean general motors would have survived, but leaner and meaner. I think saving the unions and keeping liberal voters happy definitely was a big factor. But, instead we have a wobbly kneed colossal big government dependent for life. In closing, I'm just one self-made neurotic writer with an opinion, what the hell do I know? SIRMANS LOG: 6 SEPTEMBER 2012, 2337 HOURS WHAT DO AFRICANS AMERICANS AND WOMEN HAVE IN COMMON? They both have a very high dependency mentality. This is not intended to put these two demographics down in any way; this is to try to understand the why of this phenomenon. When are Africans Americans on a wide scale going to provide more of their own businesses to provide jobs and do more of the hiring of their own people, cry me a river? I am retired now, but over the years I have hired people and provided jobs. On a mass scale what the hell survival need can a poor black man offer a woman when uncle sugar is her Great white father provider, you tell me. How can you expect someone to be responsible when they have never been conditioned to be responsible, you can't logically? I totally blame the shallow minded liberals for this situation. If conservatives and republicans are thinking about winning these two groups over with reason, forget it, it ain't gonna happen. There is an emotional bond here with the Democratic Party that can't be broken with no amount of reasoning. These two groups see the Democratic Party like a child sees its parents. It is all about dependency versus independency. Dependency is the nesting syndrome, and the only way to break the nesting syndrome is to kick the dependent out of the nest, that is what the mother eagle does. But, for African Americans, mentally we are still in the nest and will stay there as long as we have a welfare state. And the really sad part is the welfare state has almost totally destroyed the African American culture and nuclear family and is fast working on the entire nation. And another thing, The poverty pimps are making sure that African Americans never leave the safety of the nest. They guarantee that African Americans won't ever be able to jettison their dependency slave mentality. African Americans still mentally see the master's beer as colder and if given a choice won't automatically support his look alike brothers and sisters in business or otherwise. The African American elite won't create zones in and around an all African American neighborhood to live but instead get as far away as they can afford. Our race owned and controlled far more before the welfare st
