This news item from 1949 reminds us that other than becoming more OPENLY radical, Democrats haven’t changed much over the past two generations:

Bring it NOW! I’m ready to end this entitlement crap.

I support myself and about four other families according to the stats. Who is going to provide MY entitlements? Nobody, that’s who.

I just got my new health insurance policy notice, it went up again. This time by over 12% but I am supposed to be thankful because I can get health insurance and it has gone up by as much as 35% in years past. I’ll be working until I’m 65 and hope there will still be medicare. At the current rate of increase I’ll be lucky if I am only paying $25,000 a year for health insurance by age 65. That is about twice what I earned when I started working for a major company.

Will somebody buy Brother West a haircut, cover up the electrical sockets in his house, and teach him how to speak English? Ebonics went out with bell-bottom pants.

However, this marxist ahole is a good bellweather of what the far-left is thinking and what their strategy is going to be in the future - major class warfare, using the dimwits of the Occupy movement as their shocktroops and lumpenproletariat.

If he only had a brain...

Sorry FRiends. I am so worried about the mess our economy is in, my husband, who is fatally ill, and our declining savings account that I am into the cheap boxed wine, and am making a fool of myself.

Please ignore the past posts. It isn’t fair to make fun of the victims. It is cheep humor, and I am instantly ashamed of myself.

Productive, working Americans have sent $trillion$ down the welfare toilet since the “war on poverty” was begun with the “Ingrate Society” under LBJ.
It’s a quagmire. Time to pull out.

It is life, little jeremiah. He gives us troubles to strengthen our faith and courage. I am doing my best, but I slipped into mean sarcasm while tired and discouraged, which was unwarranted.

Thank you for understanding my lapse. I hate people who are mean to others based on their inability to overcome, and I just did!

Fortunately, Someone greater than me will forgive me, I pray, and help me to do better from here on out.

Jacquej - life is a testing ground - people wonder why is there suffering in this world. It is meant to refine us, like fire burns the impurities out of gold.

Then the more we not just say, but experience “Dear Lord - Your will, not mine” and feel the comfort of knowing God is All Good and All Wise, then even in the midst of the tempest we can feel His loving arms around our hearts.

I pray you feel His comfort and love more and more.

One more time, the poverty statistics are bogus. It does not include what the leeches get in non-cash benefits, such as food stamps, free meals at school for the kiddies, Medicaid, free housing, free cell phones, government cheese, and on and on. Someone can be getting all these taxpayer supplied goodies, have some cash income, and will still be included as someone who is living in “poverty”.

Look at what poor people have in the US - cars, big screen TVs, cable TV, most own their own homes, etc. This is not poverty. Living on a garbage dump in a third world country is poverty. The libs have cleverly skewed the numbers to make the sheeple think that there are a whole bunch of naked, starving kids in the US, and it is not true (unless mom is a drug addict, perhaps).

Someone should tell Mr. West that the war on poverty was a quagmire, so we pulled out.
