He must have meant Gale...oh, he was a Bear too. I don't know who he can mean. Dickerson? Hmmm.

he meant dickerson i'm sure and the rams decline did coincidently (IMO) coincide with his trade. the mistake wasn't trading dickerson, it was trading him for complete garbage.

I assume you think you know the answer. What I know is that introduction of mandated welfare exacerbated the problem, on a massive scale. It's not limited to race. The stats suggest that your proxy argument might be true, but it's one sorry ass excuse.

Where my folks were from, everyone was broke. There is no relative level of broke. Some found a way, some didn't.

It's not genetic, but it is generational and getting worse.

I agree 100 percent.

and somehow you just know that limbaugh thinks it's because of race right?

I think that if you really got him to be honest and with no filter, he would say some significant component of it is. Put it this way: even if he doesn't believe that, he has said a lot of things that seem to dangle that theory out there and then done very little to disabuse people of it. Until now, that is.

I happen to think that its partly because he really does think it. And partly because he realizes that a certain portion of his regular audience does and that his statements alluding to it, even if cryptic, cement his lock on that audience.

No point in being a talk show host and trying to resolve minor differences of opinion on issues that aren't all that controversial to begin with. It is far more lucrative to stake out territory on the extreme.

and liberals and obama telling minorities they can't get out of poverty because of america's deep seeded racism isn't helping anything.

This might surprise you, but I happen to agree that such arguments don't help witht he situation, at all. What our country fails to realize is that an entire segment of the population (minority and white, but overwhelmingly poor and uneducated) will continue to produce generations of more people who, as BPV says, are falling further and further behind.

Some people take the easy way out, don't think about what that means for our society at a time when it is struggling with a lot of things, and don't want the added burden. They'd rather write those folks off.

And the easiest way to do that is to satisfy yourself that they are beyond help. That investing in education and jobs growth woouldn't make a difference because they are doomed, anyway.

Invest more in education? Good Lord.

How do we invest in job growth? Gov't?

Have you by chance caught the first 5-10 minutes of the movie Idiocracy?

There are way too many who have become content draining the system. No amount of education is going to inspire them to change their life for the better because they have become content with it.

The best option as I see it is to remove those who do not help themselves, force them to sink or swim. Government assistance isn't needed for more than 6 to 9 months unless you are disabled mentally or physically. After that time if you have not improved your situation it is because you are content.

It may sound harsh but allowing more and more children to grow up without any ambition is much more cruel.

there's a study out that shows that all the gains made by the various Pre-K and Headstart programs are gone by the time the kid reaches the 3rd or 4th grade. The reversion is due to a complete lack of parental involvement.

Throwing money at a problem will never solve it, which is something LG is unwilling, or unable, to understand.

Limbaugh: Soros May Have Been in Rams Group

From the above article:

"What is about to happen to the National Football League has already happened to Wall Street," Limbaugh said. "Has already happened to the automobile business. The executive director of the NFL Players Association, Jeremy Swift is, an Obamaite. He voted for Obama, he is a Washington lobbyist, and I think he served on Obama's transition team. He has no experience in professional sports.

I don't care if RL wants to buy a professional sports team, that is up to him. But does he have any experience? Isn't this the pot calling the kettle black?

In his defense, Limbaugh worked in the KC Royals organization back in the late 70's or early 80's.

Anybody find it interesting that there are multiple players in the league that get DUI's and test positive for illegal drugs numerous times, but a guy that hosts a radio talk show is not allowed to be in a group that wants to buy a sports team?
