In response to:
Meh; herd the poor into AZ and let 'em starve, it's the Christian thing to do...am I doing this right?
Every Thursday morning I go on the Jon Justice show in Southern Arizona. Today, I made a comment about the glorification of food stamps and apparently that sparked a deluge of calls like the one below in which the caller argues welfare stimulates the economy.
Considering Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi thinks the same way, I'm not surprised.
"It's the biggest bang for the buck."
mighty obamalike of you.
how about letting them feed themselves? you know, like nature intended? unlike YOU we CHOOSE to help others
you believe that gubmint must STEAL from us to provide for others.
so you admit that if gubmint didnt FORCEFULLY take from you, you would NOT help others willingly
good parasite as we know you are a taker and not a giver
One thing that I've never understood is conservatives who tell liberals that they believe something completely ridiculous, and then call them ridiculous for "believing" it. Argue reality, not your hyperbolic conception of what a liberal is. None of us believe that the government needs to steal from people. But we do believe that the government should provide basic services to care for the poor and indigent where capable. And we are certainly capable.
