Right, 'cause leading the world in incarceration is no big deal...

 
How you gonna stop blacks victimizing blacks, and when they do, whats your solution?
 
Give them a hug?
 
Social breakdown that's prevalent in that demographic is all the fault of democrats and their policies for decades. 
 
So what makes you think this time is gonna be different?

Nope, it's all part of the GOPs obsession with being "tough on crime."

But hey, maybe you can include their path forward on your list?

Welp since this demographic and crime has taken place in long held democrat cities, how was it the republicans fault?
 
So when a black gang member shoots another black, whats your solution that won't involve incarceration?
 
Send them a pass to disneyland?

No chance unintended consequences from feel good social programs creating a socio-economic sub class content to get by on the government dole and dabble in small business ventures on the corner, down the hood, providing social services to augment the big government lifestyle so many seem to cherish?

GOP's obsession?  C'mon......
 

 
“Under President Bill Clinton, the number of prisoners under federal jurisdiction doubled, and grew more than it did under the previous 12-years of Republican rule,combined,” states the JPI report (italics theirs). The federal incarceration rate in 1999, the last year of the Democrat’s term, was 42 per 100,000 — more than double the federal incarceration rate at the end of President Reagan’s term (17 per 100,000), and 61 percent higher than at the end of President George Bush’s term (25 per 100,000), according to JPI.

Every prez  has had a stance on crime, and both houses have been complicit in the 'problem'.

Clinton wasn't about to getting Willie Horten'ed the way Dukakis did...

Agree that a solution will only come from a bipartisan effort.

Obliviously you do since you commented on it.
 
So day three of you not answering what is asked of you, so let me repost it again.
 
You dont even know what socialism is, and you show that with all your posts.
 
Why dont you give us the real definition?
 
You do realize a socialist government owns major industries past example, all the airlines in Europe who were once government owned, Rolls Royce and many other companies were owned and controlled by government.
 
Show me where in Bernie's plan does he call for the nationalization of major industries and businesses.

If you don't think a rat like Bernie "Stalin" Sanders believes government should be running big business, I've got some swamp land.....

Can't wait to hear his speech that it should be a right, that every household owns a flat screen and Xbox!

 

[Kev3188]

Tell us more about the GOPs "small government" platform.

 

[southwind]

Tell us more about Socialist Bernie "Stalin" Sanders not being a socialist!

 

[Kev3188]

Who says he isn't?

 

[cltrat]

Who says he isn't?

700 doesn't seem to think he is

 

[townpete]

Tell us more about Socialist Bernie "Stalin" Sanders not being a socialist!

 
Shhhh, he's a supposed "Democratic Socialist" 
 

 
Like that's supposed to mean something...

 

[Kev3188]

It does mean something.

You'd know that if you weren't so busy embracing willful ignorance...

 

[Kev3188]

700 doesn't seem to think he is

Seems to me like 700 is more irked at how little understanding of things his fellow Americans have than anything else...

On President Trumps first day, 25% of fed employees have said they would quit. 'Operation End Around'.
 

You are all calling him a socialist and yet none of you show any of us where he intends to change our government from a republic to a socialist?

Where does he state he will nationalize major industries and businesses?

You all make the claim so back it up, oh wait you took a play out of petey's style.

 
Don't need to show anything. He already knows from past election runs, being a declared socialist scares away voters. Why do you think in that interview, he tells the guy yep, he's a socialist then rebuts quickly with 'a democrat socialist'.
 
Only one way to combat climate change and that will be government control of energy to keep emissions in check.
 
Global banking is ready to burst another bubble larger than the 2008 one, what would President Sanders recommend but nationalizing the banking industry?
 
It may not be listed in his platform now, but it sure as hell was before, now its in his back pocket.
 
You buddy Kevin likes most of Bernies old platform, why can't you?

Willful ignorance is being disillusioned with how things are, after voting for a liberal twice, then vote for another...and expecting a different outcome.
