It says "RECENT" comments. <br /><br /><b>OK, So the NAACP knew of GINGRICH'S COMMENTS FOR ALMOST A YEAR and DID NOT SAY A WORD publicly. Can anyone figure out why???</b><br /><br />Nothing but politics...truth is not essential to the process. even Gingrich would have had better sense than to simply bring it up out of the blue. The news and NAACP were fanning the flames and he responded to what they questioned. <br /><br />A whole LIE made up out of a partial truth. Sad day for us!District Supt.

It is much easier to wait until or favorite leader, politician, bishop puts their spin on the truth, tells me what I should think and feel, won't take the time to verify the facts. They leave the thinking to the experts, fly in a V-formation like the rest of the geese following blindly and stupidly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357475346759651140.post-89675588879030179472012-01-10T08:51:32.305-06:002012-01-10T08:51:32.305-06:00Why do folk grandstand over this issue.

The problem was that under Clinton the Republicans, led by Gingrich, demanded welfare reform. <br /><br />Now, some say that was a bad thing. I don't see it that way.Some of the atrocities up until that time were horrible. I personally knew some people who would have children every couple of years for an increase in checks. White and Black!<br /><br />I guess we think that money is a never ending resource and that it will never run out. Or maybe like President Obama, just take what we need from the rich, like a modern day Robin Hood.District Supt. Harvey Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15315686602819371111noreply@blogger.com
