“Glad to see more young people that see the light early. You give us hope for the future generations.”

Here’s hoping. Like what most of what mainstream media says, not every teenager voted (or hoped to vote–I turned eighteen on the twenty-first of January–sour irony there) for Obama. Have to admit it’s not hard to believe when my AP European History book practically SYMPATHIZED with socialist ideals (snort). In it, if you read between the lines and pay attention to adjectives, LIBERALS= good guys, CONSERVATIVES= grungy, mean, racist men. Good ole brainwashing right there. (roll eyes)

“I am raising my granddaughter with correct values. She has a mild learning disability but she gets it. She understands responsibiliy and commitment. Makes you really wonder about so called “intellectuals” on the left.”

As one of my co-workers sometimes jokes: “Calculus may look good on your school record, but common sense and some values gets you at least minimum wage. See which one feeds ya faster.”

(Caligirl is now looking for a cornbread mix …)

The incentives all seem to point people toward giving up instead of working their way out.

Reward the parasite, punish the working poor.

I see your problem tho…You are productive! That will never do! Just kidding LOL.

Glad I’m not alone. You apparently were well reared.

And, Squito, I also agree with your point about the cheese sandwiches – I ate what was put before me. And I gave thanks for it – whether I wanted to or not! lol

Forcing people to pay for something that isn’t their fault (in this situation, a woman who screwed two random guys and ended up prego without a decent job to support her spawn and herself) is also wrong.

It’s about as ridiculous as those people who get disability checks for being alcoholics and drug addicts.

Boo-frickity-hoo. I know everyone’s said it, but gimme a break: if the kid was hungry, she’d appreciate the cheese sandwich. I know I did, along with the milk and apple my brother and I got with our lunches in grade school after my mom and dad went through a nasty divorce.

I used to think Food Stamps were okay (help the poor and hungry, all that jazz), but after I started work as a cashier, the only “food” I see people purchase are donuts, ice cream, candy, and other edible garbage. Just today, a woman barely two or three years older than me (maybe 21?) used her EBT card to buy Marlboros and another one used his for condoms (I was practically shaking with anger)! I’m becoming more and more of a misanthrope because of these f###ing welfare vultures. What right do these monsters have to my or anyone’s taxes? (explodes into expletives)

By the way, I’m extremely glad I found this site. (Signed up a while ago, but haven’t had a chance to really get on the Web between school, work, and college plans.) It’s a bit disconcerting around where I live where people are bearing their Obama hats/shirts/bumper stickers with pride and only a few people I know outside of family have a clue about current events. (My own Economics teacher thinks the “Stimulus” bill is a good thing–which is why I agree with Ann Coulter about public schools. Haha.)

It’s just hard to know who really needs reduced fee/free meals … and how many are just taking advantage of the system.
