I was watching the ABC democrat debate in New Hampshire the other day and Charlie Rose asked if the candidates were willing to say the surge in Iraq was now working. The unilateral “NO” was stunning.
My Hypothesis is this: Democrats care more about American Combat Troops then they do about the African American poor and particularly the African American poor young men in America’s cities. Fact: It’s less dangerous to be a young African American male serving in military combat in Iraq then it is for a young African American Man to live in Chicago. More young African American men have died by violence in Chicago in the last five years then all the combat fatalities in Iraq for the Americans.
If Democrats are so concerned about stopping violence them why not look at the destruction taking place in America’s cities and slums. Democrats really don’t care about the tragedy taking place at home.
Mike Huckabee has put his money where his mouth is when it comes to helping the poor and down and out. He didn’t throw money at the problem like Mitt and the gang; he rolled up his sleeves and changed lives. Just like Christ ordered.
