Educators, leftists, welfare recipients, radicals, Occupiers, marxists, statists, communists and Obama-lovers everywhere.

Damn! I quickly scanned the article and thought Lieutenant Colonel West had gone off the deep end. The script blocker in my browser didn't allow the video to automatically load, so I didn't have the visual of Cornel West's ugly mug to preface the article.

I don't think you'll ever hear Allen West speaking those words.
The stupidity of some people continually amaze me.

You want a war against poverty? Ok, here you go: every girl, upon the age of menstruation, begins getting government mandated birth-control shots. They only end when she and her husband can prove that they have the financial wherewithal to actually support kids.
I also like the idea of everyone has to have at least a high school diploma, no dropping out and none of this GED crap.
Everytime you want to have another kid, you have to show up with all your financials and a letter from your employer that re-certifies your ability to support yet another child.
Then we can start some program that forces employers to hire you.
How 'bout that West? I can solve a whoooole lotta poverty issues ---all you have to do is sacrifice a few measly individual "rights."

You're really asking for it, and ACLU Lawsuit that is......that is infringing upon their rights/personal freedoms you know.

Even if you could solve 'the hungry' problem as it is seen today, I am positive that someone would/will find a way to find or make hungry people again.....it is as simple as redefinition and/or revision of what defines hungry.

The problem isn't hunger, it's a lack of work ethic; the people West refers to have a skewed sense of right and wrong.

In my circles we have a very effective form of birth control, its called tuition.

eggs-actly! And why is it skewed? Cornell and his type twist, reshape and redefine reality.......or at least the reality as you, me and a whole lot of other people view it.
What's considered Po-folk?
In Ethiopia it might appear as sparse meal 3-5 times a week (a guess on my part), sleeping on a dirt and a skeletal appearance. Whereas in the US it might look like 15,000 Junk Food calories a day, $300 sneakers, a SmartPhone and 300+ LBS. of Grade A Fat......but not having a XBox360 puts you into the poverty threshold.

That's just not true, anymore.
You can own an XBox now, and still be classified as "poor".
