The first thing I noticed was that ALL of the "hungry poor" were VERY fat black women with several children. No "homeless". No whites. The next segment was a spot on the need for "free Wi Fi" in the same "hood" so that the same welfare parasites could have more "opportunity". All this and more for the same 12 square block "hood" that has featured 75% of the total murders in the state for the passed five years running. --RayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-41240317864137856762015-06-13T00:35:07.027-04:002015-06-13T00:35:07.027-04:00Anonymous beat me to it.

Obama phones, to be followed by Obama Internet, Obama McMansions, and Obama Bentleys and Mercedes. <br /><br />I once had a young co-worker - who supported Obama and Obamacare because, at one time in his life, he and his mother could not get the medical care they wanted, perhaps even needed. He was a nurse in the VA system (as was I at the time Obamacare was being discussed), a compassionate fellow who treated all the veterans on our unit as his friends, and was living with and caring for his diabetic mother.<br /><br />I was able to introduce him into the gun culture, which he maintains an interest in (including more training and practice), but could not convince him that Obamacare was theft. I warned him that, when the government ran out of resources to give to illegal immigrants he and his mother might - as Matt Bracken fictionalized in one of his books - very well find themselves sharing his small condo with a large family of Mexicans or Guatemalans, if the Left had its way. Sadly, he would not consider the possibility, even going so far as to threaten to stop responding if I continued with that sort of political monologue. <br /><br />Not wanting to alienate him, as he still might see the light, I have not asked him if he had signed his mother up for Obamacare, or if he was able to add her to his Blue Cross/Blue Shield policy which he gets at work ($460 a month for family coverage).<br /><br />If there was any justice in this world, the Left would be made responsible for all of the "benefits", the "equality of outcome" for which they want the rest of us to be responsible. "If it is important to you, then _you_ pay for it." Of course, that is a concept which completely escapes most of them, and is laughed off by the elite.<br /><br />Reg Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099612693763932005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-79153945846376730222015-06-12T23:05:01.990-04:002015-06-12T23:05:01.990-04:00Free in this context is the opposite of coerced. ...Free in this context is the opposite of coerced.

On a positive note though, it has provided stark, bloody evidence which has caused a number of Progressives in the local teaching community to start questioning numerous fallacies that before were beyond reproach.<br /><br />Matt Bracken wrote a blog post some years ago at this point about revolutions and insurgencies in general, but specifically why America's second Civil War would likely be the bloodiest ever witnessed on earth. He specifically mentioned this forced integration of thugs among normal folks. 1104wrhmr6rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14654474444429985222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-91896635521363248092015-06-12T11:41:21.790-04:002015-06-12T11:41:21.790-04:00It's a crazy friggen world, isn't it?

It was the beginning of my inability to respect him as much as his orders would seem to require. I told him that our duty was to teach them right from wrong and "teach them to fish" so they could have the dignity of being responsible for themselves. Their choices are their choices.<br /><br />He totally lost me when he told me that muslim suicide bombers go to heaven because they're following the dictates of their consciences.<br /><br />Pray for our clergy.Weetabixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106614092497408546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-29382560225850370752015-06-12T10:43:08.644-04:002015-06-12T10:43:08.644-04:00Last Summer we bought a Hyundai Sonata 2.0 Turbo a...Last Summer we bought a Hyundai Sonata 2.0 Turbo and paid cash for it. This was the result of some considerable overtime and a Weltanschauung of frugality. I guess this must mean that Leviathan should buy cars of at least equal value for the Free S**t Army to ensure their votes.<br />_revjen45Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
