Football fans may remember Burgess Owens, who played with the New York Jets and Oakland Raiders back in the 1970s and early 1980s. From WorldNetDaily, about the conservative Republican: "Owens said social welfare programs promoted by the Democratic Party have created a government dependency within black communities to the detriment of the family and economic progress. The progressive policies of the Democratic Party, he said, have created a culture of 'defeat, breakdown, failure and collapse” in the African-American community, where abortion has taken the lives of 13 million black babies since 1973, an average of 325,000 deaths each year."
The article continues: "Owens sees Obama building a central government structure typical of socialist governments that espouses advancement for minorities, while in reality enslaving them. 'There is still a desire, by most within the black community, to recapture for their children the ideals of a traditional family where moms and dads commit to each other and to their children through the lifelong bonds of marriage,' Owens concludes. 'We can be the kind of example as the black middle class was for decades to give encouragement to others who follow.'"
