I take homage with your blog post on several fronts:
First, you seem to argue that Jindal is a pawn in a greater game, that he is dense and must dumb down his speech to speak to "first-graders." Millions of people probably loved his speech, which was heavy on substance(unlike Obama's), and light on "fluffy" rhetoric(again, unlike Obama's).
You seem to be a very angry person, in that you preferred to attack an individual(in this case Jindal), and imply that he is indicative of a broader, "racist" movement, yet you offer no direct connection between Jindal and some of America's admittedly racist policies of the past. In a sense, is it Jindal's fault you can't let go of that red herring?
Contrary to what I assume is your belief, TAX CUTS WORK EVERYTIME THEY'RE TRIED. Under the Bush-led tax cuts, our economy was rolling for the first six years of his administration. The deficit did not explode in size because of tax cuts, as many liberals assume. The government's over-the-top spending practices were to blame. It was over-regulation of the housing market, which led to government-mandated "sub-prime" lending, which led to our current economic crisis. Which, by the way, is NOWHERE close to the terrible times of the Great Depression. Under Obama, we can only go in that direction, if he continues his policies of economic suicide.
The Democratic Congress "let this one go." Chris Dodd and Barney Frank were, and still are, the arbiters of the same tax-and-spend nonsense that got us into this mess in the first place.
Obama did indeed promise tax cuts to 95% of Americans during his campaign. Why would he do that, if in his "enlightened" state above the rest of us "common folk," he saw that tax cuts did not work: merely to deceive the public, perhaps?
Again, I reiterate with emphasis: The present economic crisis did not stem from the market. Actually, it really came from the government. You're love of the government is ill-founded. I wonder why you put your faith in an currently inept Congress.
Phew, I'm gonna cut-and-paste this into my blog. Good day.
