Adam Carolla grills Gavin Newsom on
minority groups´ poverty numbers

Daily Caller, by Jeff Poor

Original Article

Posted By:Donttaxmebro, 3/4/2013 8:01:20 AM

During his Friday podcast, comedian Adam Carolla skewered California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom for not having a clear answer about why poverty strikes African-Americans and Hispanics in such high numbers. Newsom was a guest on Carolla’s show to promote his book “Citizenville,” which he co-authored with Lisa Dickey. But the Democratic politician invited an attack when he made said both African-American and Hispanics struggle with being prepared for financial hardship. “Think about it — half of African-Americans in the state of California, roughly half of Latino families have no access to a checking account or an ATM

Tell me, did Newsom manage to get their garbage dump renamed after George W. Bush? That was high in his priority list. @@

Obama (maybe): "Now you all have been gathered here because the system has forced you to be unemployed, despite my best efforts to make America a just nation. You are the real patriots, and you all voted for me, and The Man is trying to keep you down because of your righteous action.

So I´m recruiting any of you who are willing to be trained as a ten million man army of civilian patriots of the New America.

You will be very well paid. After training, you will be armed, and your mission will be to help disarm and bring for retraining the unpatriotic and greedy who are preventing our glorious future from coming about. You are the key to our future.

Welcome aboard!"

Here is a partial explanation. If a person is participating in the underground (cash) economy, selling drugs, running illegal drinking establishments, buying and selling food stamp allotments, that person does not want a bank account. Bank transactions could be viewed as money laundering, should the account be used. In addition, any bank transation of 3000 dollars or more, is subject to legal scrutiny.
Blacks and hispanics are much more likely participants in that underground economy.

So he asked the Elephant-In-The-Room question, didn´t he? Good on him!

Jeff Poor misses the boat with this:

The host surmised that the difference was the lack of a strong traditional family structure among blacks and Hispanics — specifically the lack of fathers in stable households.

No, I don´t think the host surmised that the reason was ENTIRELY that, but it´s safter than the whole truth to say that. Like me, the host could have surmised that another part of the equation is the generational welfare that keeps blacks and hispanics on the plantation. After all, Democrats need the welfare vote and are willing to subjugate entire minority groups in order to get those votes.

It´s insidious and insulting, but so long as we have ObamaPhone men and women around who really believe they´re better off with welfare than with work, we will have such LoFos around.

I applaud Carolla. We need more such openness. It will help to put PC-ness back into the cesspool from which it emerged.

FTA: “...half of African-Americans in the state of California, roughly half of Latino families have no access to a checking account or an ATM…”

Access to a checking account and/or an ATM has nothing to do with anything other than a track record of not paying your bills. Make your car or rent payments late, ignore traffic tickets, have your vehicle repo’ed, run up huge credit card debt, don’t pay ordered child support……voila!!! No access to a checking account, no access to a car loan, no access to a credit card account, can’t buy a house, everything becomes cash on the line.
No one’s fault except ones’ self.

Newsom claims to be the product of a single parent household with a mother working two jobs to make ends meet. Actually, his father was the tax attorney for Getty Oil. Hardly an "at risk" situation.

Earlier in the program, a cop stated that he was "not permitted to answer" the question regarding ticketing motorists, instead of rounding up the illegal aliens within clear sight.

Where is it stated that police officers are forbidden from answering certain questions? Does California muzzle certain groups? Legally?

I´m gonna call BS.

On his radio show this week, conservative talker Mark Levin said that Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, who on Tuesday claimed that opponents of same-sex marriage do nothing but “thump the Bible,” should stop degrading his audience. “Thump the Bible?” Levin asked. “Have I thumped the Bible once in an hour and a half on the air today? … Why are you putting down your audience? I thought you stood for the folks. And you sound like [President Barack] Obama, with the ‘clinging to their guns and religion’ line. You should show respect to your audience.”

On Dennis Prager’s radio show on Monday, conservative commentator Ann Coulter offered her takeaways from last weekend’s Conservative Political Action Conference held outside Washington, D.C., where Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul won the event’s presidential straw poll. Coulter, author of “Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama,” explained how that happened, which led to her critique of the libertarian movement within college campuses and its antics. “’How did that happen?’ you’re wondering,” she said. “Ron Paul used to win every year because these libertarian

In covering the selection of Pope Francis I, many in the media speculated as to whether the new head of the Roman Catholic Church would take a more liberal theological position on homosexuality and abortion. But in his regular Thursday appearance on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show, Mark Steyn, author of “After America: Get Ready for Armageddon,” viewed that media speculation along with other “trivial” aspects of the coverage to be ridiculous considering the church has held those same beliefs for thousands of years now. “Well, you know, I think the papal coverage in the so-called serious media

On Rush Limbaugh’s radio show on Monday, National Review’s Mark Steyn explained why an incident involving a seven-year-old boy’s punishment and the subsequent reaction for chewing a Pop Tart in the shape of a gun is a sign the country is “doomed.” Steyn, author of “After America: Get Ready for Armageddon,” compared this generation of children, who may have felt threatened by the so-called Pop Tart gun, to the American generation that stormed the beaches of Normandy. “You’re doomed, America,” Steyn said. “You’re done for.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.
