more paganism....but I believe the animal worshippers will get their way eventually...

what do you expect from a nation that pays for little babies to be sucked out of wombs and thrown into the sink....

we can't stop the insanity but we can minimize the taxes we pay to the Satanist govt.

“The friendliness and charity of our countrymen can always be relied upon to relieve their fellow citizens in misfortune. This has been repeatedly and quite lately demonstrated. Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the Government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character, while it prevents the indulgence among our people of that kindly sentiment and conduct which strengthens the bonds of a common brotherhood.”

Grover Cleveland, February 1887

Ol Uncle Ted said it best way back in the day...

“A topless grandmother in a sofa surrounded by dog feces? If you’re poor, you can’t have a dog! You start by eating the (expletive) pets! Am I out of my mind?”

As long as there’s a work requirement.
That’ll keep out all the cats and most of the dogs...

Why doesn’t he let the dog chew on the bones from the steaks he gets with his food stamps?

Why not? Let’s encourage and pay for more irresponsible behavior.

So if there is a crazy cat lady on welfare and she has 100 cats.. How much money a month do they think she should get?

I can also see people pretending to have pets to get extra money a month. The amount of fraud that would happen, if someone even agreed to this, would be enormous.
