If the thread poster was foreclosed, how is he posting on the Internet?
I never thought I’d ever say this, but I’d rather hire an H1-B with a work ethic than a spoiled RAT who wants everything given to him.
I go to our local Special Collections Library at least once a week working on our family tree (genealogy). The library has about eight computer monitors sitting on desks. Everytime I go there at least six of them are being used by individuals who appear to be either homeless or living on the edge. Shoddy clothes, scruffy, etc. I have no idea what their status is but it does seem a bit odd to see over half of these computers being used to play Solitaire or on-line games. And it does not cost anything to use them, only a sign on procedure with the Library System, tantamount to a library card.
We were at my wife’s alma mater today for reunion and other stuff. One building we went to on campus was the very nice libary. On the way out I noticed this one fellow with a laptop with stickers. One said “be a smartass, vote democrat”. I wonder how much his folks fork out for him to go to this rather pricey private college? How long will he be living in their basement when he wraps it up there?
Same way many of our own Free Republic Kindergarten Economists do since the oh-how-surprising mortgage meltdown caught them flat-footed -- down at the local library.
Probably from the library, behind which he has his cardboard box home...
Attention in this case is the liberal codeword meaning FREE SH*T.
I have been a conservative for more than 20 years and have finally figured out what drives every one of these people. Mainly that they all have one universal, overriding belief that bonds them all together. This is that the government's purpose is to give them things. THATS ALL! It is not always a direct monetary gift as in the case of say, college professors or union leadership, but help in continuing and expanding their privileged positions.
I came to this epiphany watching the Spector Philly townhall video on Youtube awhile back and reading the Lib's comments there. The liberals on the Youtube video above expressed bewilderment about how government healthcare can possibly be opposed by anyone. Comments like, "You people are acting against your own self interest." As in, the feds want to give you something, how can you not take it? They just can't understand why we are leery about all this. They cannot grasp the concept that nothing is really free. Some of the lefty posters reasoned that the angry people at the meeting were paid by the insurance companies to disrupt the proceedings and were doing this simply to protect their profits. Others named specific rightwing PAC’s who were there in force with paid operatives trained to trip up the speakers and sow havoc, Lol. (I wonder how much they paid and why I was never notified of this gig.) In the liberal mind there can be no other explanation for this outrage. They actually believe this stuff and justify it in their minds.
The desire for government largess is also the reason they can easily overlook the Dem's criminal activity and outright contradictions. This used to drive me crazy when debating liberals and applying logic to no effect. They just don't care. What matters is what is in it for them.
