The Schadenfreude is great whenever liberal interests collide….

Demanding that your legally-founded right of access to city sidewalks paid for with your tax dollars be actually enforced is hardly a "liberal interest."

As soon as I see the title, I start thinking of the skit from Portlandia where two of the characters are temporarily disabled via injury and join a Disability Rights group to have their grievances addressed....

Read on.

In any case, libs love any aggrieved groups including handicapped (I don’t play liberal word games with preferred words), and do ridiculous absurd things in their honor, so them clashing is sweet. Happens often, though, when libs don’t realize those preferrred groups don’t prefer each other.

“this pushy tribe of obnoxious winers”
Those that are legitimately physically
challenged may not have the mindset of
your friend who had every opportunity
to take advantage of what ADA has to
offer.
I can bet a dollar to a donut that you
suffer no such maladies.
Sure, there are those that abuse the
system, but those that suffer pain or
loss of mobility need access to facilities
that require shorter distances of
gaining that access.
I’m paralyzed on one side from an accident
that occurred some time ago. Time has
taken its’ toll, as I now have sciatica
due to over compensation for the paralysis.
Stuck on the couch for three days and
pi**in in a bottle during an attack.
A hundred yard walk places me in that
situation.
Please be mindful of those that really
need those overabundance of handicapped
parking spaces.

Along with disability issue it’s a city violation to be defecating, urinating on a public street, health violation. These same Health authorities give citations, close down businesses for bugs, water not hot enough, fridge temps, bathrooms, food storage issues, yet they allow people to piss and crap outside a business on a public sidewalk, block people, etc.

Watch for Portland to create lines in the sidewalk for homeless.
Yea that will fix it.

That’s the problem with the ADA law...Can’t pick and choose which disabled group you want to help...THE DEMOCRATS ARE STUCK HELPING ALL OF THEM.....
