This is not to say that those with bad grammar and spelling aren’t intelligent, but it does limit ones ability to obtain a higher paying position.
Besides all that…I took a queue from you and made a smart assed remark. Surely you can relate to that.

Actually if you want to draw a connection between the two you can also include the Democratic party. I saw a LOT of beaters with Kerry bumper stickers, soon to be Hildabeast, on them. Don't see a lot of GOP signs in the Gheto.

Just to let you know intelligence has nothing to do with education. Intelligence is what you are born with. Eduction is just a medium for the intelect....
That is where libbs have it wrong and there eliteist comes out. Just because you are educated doesn't mean your intelligent. |

I wont argue that fact with you. I would like to see welfare reform and limits. I believe those on welfare should at minimum, perform some sort of public service for their checks, and be enrolled in a High School G.E.D. course or some sort of training course to be qualified for welfare services.
By the way, it's spelled Ghetto.

How many lives have been lost do to the war on poverty. It's been 43 years now since JFk and the democrats proclaimed the war on poverty. Where are the results. Why hasn't it been one milestone met. I dont think they have any type of plan. How come no one is asking the tuff questions

When is the last time the US gov't won any war? War on poverty, drugs(mary jane is now the largest cash crop), cancer, Vietnam, Korea and the list goes on. The "wars" are just a means of keeping the tax dollars flowing and circulating in the system - they are not designed to win anything. |

The war on poverty was a slogan for the liberals to be able to sleep at night. Plus it is a why they can say they care about the poor, so they will continue to vote for them.
