I would really like to hear the other side of this story...

From her article as posted Ohio.com...

Unemployment, and my new car

Thanks for the link.

That woman is absolutely, certifiably mad - MAD as in crazy and dangerous.

Here's the evidence:

"A friend just lost her job — the lousy job that barely covered her mortgage and didn't last long enough to get her unemployment — and I don't want to drive my new car over to commiserate with her. I actually thought about taking the old car and just not mentioning that I had bought a new one. She's the first person who would be happy for me, who would tell me life is too short and to enjoy it, but when I heard she'd lost her job I felt sick — about my new car. In all honesty, I bought the car and cried all the way home from the dealer."

"I can afford to drive my wonderful new car, but I can't help being embarrassed by it."

"When I lost my job, I let my one-day-every-other-week housekeeper go. The car payment would pay her salary, but I'm home now and I can clean my own house. I feel guilty about her and about the memberships to the Sierra Club and the ACLU and others that we've let lapse. But this is Los Angeles, and I have to drive wherever it's necessary for job possibilities and to the super-cheap grocery store miles away and to my therapy group, which is actually free but very far from home."

So much hypocrisy in this, from so many different angles-the living breathing personification of liberals who want to impose their “morality” on others but not live with the consequences themselves. I bet she loves higher gas prices.

Hypocritical liberal moron.

I am sure her idea of a ‘super cheap’ grocery store is Trader Joe’s which advertises in a way that reinforces the few that people who make it to their store are smarter than anyone else. Their prices tend to be higher than my local Walmart, so I get there once every two weeks or so, mostly to take the kids to get their supplemental homeschooling books at the local Barnes and Nobel.

There is one in a fashionable seaside community that is 25 feet away from a laboratory with walls that are two feet thick and filled with Barium to absorb radiation, permitting certain kinds of unusual experiments. I often chuckle that the clientele of that store would be very offended if they knew what went on a few feet away.

When I lived in Texas, my interracial family was no big deal to the local Republicans. The local Democrats were offended, and tried to get tickets written for our lawn. The local Libertarians (I lived in Ron Paul’s district) wouldn’t serve us when we went to their functions.
