She's so involved in circles, she's going around in one. It's one thing to feed the hungry, it's another to feed a person's reason to not be a responsible citizen or even a visitor to this nation.
2 Thess 3:10 says: "For even when we (Paul and his entourage) were with you, we commmanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat".
Please read this, Ms. McCormick. These conservative pundits have a long history of attacking do-gooders who feed spongers: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/580838/posts
Don't you know that the DJIA doesn't matter much to someone living on the street? /sarcasm
Because their "piety" is actually altruism. C.f. "The Virtue of Selfishness" by Ayn Rand. It's a short, short hop from acting charitably to looking down on those that aren't acting charitably, and another short hop to feeling entitled to FORCE them to contribute to your charity.
Sounds like another immature attempt at Rush. Yes even Red Kansas has it's far left liberals.
I don't recall Rush defending himself using a "Sensible Drug Policy" argument. He has stated that he did wrong and he has taken his lumps. His argument about his drug addiction problem has been that there are laws concerning "Right to Privacy" issues that are being Selectivly Ignored in order to persecute/prosecute Limbaugh
when did Rush make these comments?
For many years, my husband and I rented a building to a ministry that provided "homeless" housing and ran a free meals program. It was very evident that for every truly needy person, there were a dozen lazy, drunken, or drugged up freeloaders. Instead of helping them, it just enabled to support their chosen lifestyles. Most "homeless" are that way by choice. They choose not to work, be responsible, and fulfill their obligations. Rush is right!
Oh, please. These are multi-millionaires. It's like me giving a penny to charity and work A COUPLE HOURS at a charity function and then have the press broadcast their "good works" to the public which they made sure they would be headline news. It's a publicity stunt, and I'm sure that if I gave the same percentage of my wages to charity as they do, and work a couple hours as a publicity stunt so that my name hit the headlines, I would be branded a "slime ball". Well, if your rich and famous, you're not a slimeball, you're kind, generous, charitable, and a humanitarian. It's a matter of who and how famous you are that makes the difference.

Precisely! The law of supply and demand. If it's free the demand is created.
The liberals do not understand the FREE MARKET. They do understand COMMUNES.
Ergo - liberals are communists. No two ways about it.
"One that begins and ends with individuals, people to whom we're all linked."
So, how is this writer "linked" to Rush Limbaugh? How is he showing his empathy to Rush as an "individual"? How is he being a "blessing"? The courts in California recently ruled that "Catholic" Charities is not even a religious organization. The audacity of calling misguided human "work" the "Lord's Diner" is beyond outrageous. This is strictly feel-good puffery, expounded upon by a pompous and bitter buffoon.
"He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain people shall have poverty enough." Proverbs 28:19
Marky's just feeling a little lonely....a bluey living in a deeply red state.
Leviticus 19:
14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.
15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
16 Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I am the LORD.
I heard the show referenced in the article.
IIRC, Rush's point was that there are people
who need help, but not freebies.
Freebies attract all sorts of people who are
not in need of help.
To help these folks, teach them how to help themselves.
This woman's heart is in the right place,
but she surely does have an ugly mouth.
I heard the Limbaugh show that day. He was reading/commenting on the article in the paper.
Sorry..Ms Glick...I have to agree with Rush. There ARE
lots of people who take advantage of soup kitchens, Church
Charity Furniture/clothing stores (give aways) and Overnight Sleepovers. I know because I work for the PADS organization at our Church, and the wife does the laundry the next day for all the people who show up. They get a dinner meal, a bed with fresh sheets made up for them (maid
service), a chance for a shower (most don't take it, many don't even brush their teeth in the a.m.) and after a night's sleep away from the weather outside, they get breakfast before being put on a bus and driven back to their point of origin about 8 miles away. Some of them live "on the streets." Others have housing of some kind, maybe the family car.
We see mostly the same faces every week, Moms, Dads, kids.
I happen to have seen a couple of those same faces playing
Bingo in a different town. Once I found a family that had spent a night with us buying a nice meal in a restaurant. I've seen one or two in the grocery store buying food and cigarettes with government stamps. And I've seen some coming out of a liquor store with groery bags of booze. Don't know where they get the money. We don't furnish money. Our program is all voluntary. People in our Church figure we're involved in the Faith Based Project President Bush advocated.
That's not to say there are folks out there who are truly
down and out on their luck; have even given up hope perhaps. But there are the free-loaders, too. Like Ms.
Glick, we wouldn't think of embarrassing any of them. But
they know they're cheating. And I think their kids do, too.
fyi - Mark McCormick is non-caucasian.
