Does socialism work? Has it ever?
A little wisdom from Rush.
You can't have somebody who is a success because that's offensive to somebody who hasn't succeeded. You can't have somebody have a good time because that's offensive to people who are not having a good time. You can't have somebody succeed in school because that's offensive and stigmatizes people who don't do well. So once again the left has shown us that they shoot for the lowest common denominator and this comes from their arrogance and their elitism and their own vaunted elitist view that they stand so high above everybody else. It's okay for them to succeed; it's okay for them to achieve. But that's because they're special people, the average bloke in this country doesn't have a chance.
The average bloke in this country doesn't have a prayer of succeeding and so liberals must do what they do in order to make everybody's lives at least passable. Hello, New Orleans! If you want to see what liberalism unchecked, unbridled, unstopped, does to people, take a look at New Orleans. We know what the Census figures are there. We know 75, 80% of the population is black. What does that mean? It means they can't charge racism down there. You can't charge racism down there, and you can't say that they need affirmative action down there, and yet look at the poverty rate down there. Look at the poverty rate.
This is a city that, rather than modernize and move forward, has chosen to celebrate its past and try to hold onto it because some people think it's quaint, and as a result, you get rampant poverty down there, and this hurricane brought it to shore, brought it to fore, and what the thing that everybody needs to see is, that liberals and Democrats have run that place, the whole state, city, for 60 years. It ought to be a panacea. It ought to be a Utopia. It ought to be so nice that no hurricane would dare get near it. It ought to be so nice that it's indestructible (said jokingly). There ought be no crime because everybody's happy and sufficient, their bellies are full, they all have jobs, they all have health care, the government does everything for them at the whim of the moment, everybody should be just the happiest people in the world in New Orleans.
