Too many minority ethnic groups have taken welfare on as a career. Instead of listening to Bill Cosby they’ve been listening (if they listen at all) to Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson and others like them. Lack of responsible fathers who wander hither and yon producing babies for the mother who will receive yet more government money in one form or another, for each child born. This has been going on for years (decades) and Al and Jessie make a pretty good living = there are also Eugene Robinson and others who produce hatred for the white people…

Incidentally, when measuring poverty figures, the non-cash goodies like housing money and other subsidies are not counted. Dr. Thomas Sowell has made good research and published opinion articles that blow the “poor” back up into a situation where they are getting as much or more than those who work. For the workers, then, “why work at all?” comes into play.

How dare you say these things about Republicans–I am deeply offended
You sound like the typical radical-socialist liberal

This article was obviously written by a racist, either a democrat or liberal black. The truth is, most black folks are “takers” that are on some form of receiving government check, whether it is a government job or welfare. Due to this they, overwelmingly support the democrat party as to do otherwise would jeopardize their gravey train.

Martha Jo Billy, sorry you left the Baptist Church, but they probably would not marry you to your wife, but the Methodist Church would. Also, you probably have something against blacks and whites marrying so that makes you a racist.

This is extremely racist article – I am disappointed that the Capital Times choose to publish this hate speech.

To Mr. Maupin’s broader point – the GOP is experiencing an identity crisis nationwide; “grass-roots” vs “establishment” Republicans. The entire party will continue to fail until their is a meeting of the minds between the two. Mr. Maupin obviously missed this basic point due to his myopic obsession with the “white devil”

I cannot speak for the all of the Republican Party, however I can say without a doubt that the South Mountain GOP (www.SouthMountainGOP.com), which is in Mr. Maupin’s legislative district, is open and interested in all CONSERVATIVES regardless of color, creed or sex.

Thank you,

Mr. Maupin fails to mention Frederick Douglas had a young pretty “white” secretary who became his second wife after his wife died. His secretary was as young or a year younger than is youngest daughter, I cannot recall which now. His children did not like the marriage and there was conflict over his will. His young wife ended up with the house and preserved it, that is why it is a historical government park in D.C. today. He could very well have been involved sexually with her prior to his wife’s death. He visited with Pres. Lincoln, although I cannot recall a specific number of times now. Also, he was part “white”, having a white father who owned his mother. I have been to the house on a tour which is on a hill with a beautiful view of the Patomic River.
Also, something the Republicans fail to ever mention, while proclaiming Pres. Lincoln as “their” president, is the fact Lincoln was a member of the Whig Party which fell apart in the months before he was nominated. He was not even at the Republican Convention when he was nominated, being at home in Ill. This was the custom of the time. Too bad it isn’t today.
I was reared a Southern Baptist, I left it several years ago due to rabid radical religious right it was leaning into. So.Baptists do not follow the true church any longer. I now am a member of the United Methodist Church. Martha Jo Billy
