Minute of 26:55 seconds...of the video above...

...Dr. Murray states the 'industriousness of MALES" have been undermined by the 1960s. He states creating jobs in 2012 is a waste of time BECAUSE these guys don't want to work. 


No sense to creating jobs. None. No reason to. It might be why Speaker Boner doesn't really care about it. It may be a real reason why 'ideologically' there are filibusters in the Senate and complete dysfunction in the House. Seriously.


Dr. Murray espouses the ideology of the extremists and it tracks for the eight years of Bush/Cheney. Rove worships this guy.


The GOP war on women is real and so is the racism of this political party. I mean eight years of trying to roll time back to the 1950s? Give me a break. This is real. This is the ideology they are following either knowingly or by osmosis from hearing Murdoch Right Wing extremism. Tell me it is not true. Go, ahead. Try. Come on convince me. Examples from the last administration and their priorities. Can't do it, I know you can't.


Murphy demonizes journalists and academicians. Sound familiar?


He goes on to state there is no reason why people are not family oriented in the way the Heritage Foundation defines it because the 'family wage' is only a little less today after 2008 than in the 1960s. He states the wages before the economic recession of 2008 were slightly better than the 1960s. He states the wages in the 1960s, outside of General Motors, was $16 to $17 US per hour for the 'working class.' Really? And this wage is slightly less than today? WHERE? Because most people are lucky to earn $40,000 per year in a TWO PERSON working relationship. There are households in the USA raising a family on $40,000 per year two person income and they consider themselves doing well. Now where are all these folks making nearly $16 to $17 per hour?


He states White Males are the way to attack the social issue, because, if the Black Males in the USA are a focus there is always cause to suspect racism. He states White Males are 'dropping out' of the work force in their 4th and 5th decade of life. In their 30s and 40s. Really? Where are the statistics stating that? I am quite confident if there were losses of income by 30 and 40 somethings in the USA of WHITE MALES it would be very noticeable. So, where are the all the stats? In the book, maybe? Sure, why not.


One of the reasons there is such immoral work ethics in the USA is because there have been some really good years, such as the late 1990s. Let's see, the late 1990s was Clinton. Not Reagan? Clinton produced really good years for the country? Hm. 


Dr. Murray sees no reason (somewhere around 29:00 to 29:49 minutes) for a compulsory service because that would only lead to the awareness of the public in general that military service was a way of obtaining upward mobility. Even though folks can benefit from the discipline of the military experience, there was no reason to make it a habit.  Dr. Murray was enamored with that view when he read it from David Brooks, who stated, "...it only teaches people to game the system." Really? Not that a person's life is on the line for their country or anything, but, hey we don't want them gaming the system. You betcha.


So, if these points of view are shared by others without prompting from Murray then the 'culture' of the 'conservative' is corrupted with it outside of 'the Murray cultists.'
