It was a parody.
I heard Rush talking about this the day it aired. This woman IS being taken advantage of, but she doesn't care. And the people that fund her don't care.
It's a feel-good exercise by that particular organization. I mean, I give to my Food Pantry on a regular basis, but I, too, have been re-thinking it because I'm not 100% certain the foodstuffs are going to the people that really need it.
Gotta look into this further. See? This is what I LOVE about Rush. I may not always agree with him 100%, but he always makes me THINK, and I then go on to research topics that effect me directly. That alone, is an awesome (free!)service, thanks to Rush. :)
According to the dims, the economy is always bad, unless they are the ones in power
True believers know that the only sure way to insure peace and harmony is to hold hands in a circle on a mountain while humming.
Which while admirable is not an argument that the economy is in sad shape, or that there is a mass of physically neglected.
I'm from Dayton OH and I remember hearing from my grandparents telling stories for years about all of the well-to-do people who showed up for the annual Elder-Beerman free Thanksgiving dinner. Maybe this is how the rich stay wealthy, by eating meals intended for the needy.
"A liberal condemning someone for being "judgemental" by being judgemental."
Good point.
Yeah, then they give away all our money and tell us the economy is good when its bad.
I need some help here. What "sensible drug policies" is he "railing" against? That looks like a cheap DU-type shot. (but I really want to hear your explanation).
Look, I'm a Bush supporter but I can think for myself.
Sensible drug policies? Holland has less drug abuse than we do. How's that?
It's none of the government's business if I choose to do drugs. I'm over 18, I pay my taxes, I pay for my own health care, and it's none of their business.
EVER HEARD OF PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY?
If they want to make it their business, then they should set up programs to help people who want to be helped. I think it's just another social welfare program, but so is sending people to jail for $35,000 a year because they want to do ilegal drugs.
Rush believes that people who do illegal drugs should go to jail. He doesn't believe they should "take responsibility for their actions", he believes they should go to jail. So I really don't care if people want to take cheap shots against him on this issue. He doesn't believe that PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN DRUG USE- He believes the government is.
When he has enough compassion on people who use drugs to argue for leaving them alone, I'll have compassion on him. Otherwise, why should I?
And by the way, why has everyone become liberal wussies when it comes to Rush? Hmmmm?
hmmmm, I wonder if this group's concern for the needy extended to 'helping' them VOTE this past election...
Apparently, unlike "Lord's Diner", Mark McCormick of the Wichita Eagle DOES.
What a self serving cheap shot.
My Crack-Head sister and her Crack-Head friends eat at the Lord's Diner here in Wichita, I am not joking about this. They can't feed themselves because it cuts into their drug money. BTW, all are on Welfare and other assistance. Pathetic bunch.
Yes, many of the poor choose to live that way.
But, your attitude is not one Christ would want us to have.
And, it is no a very good American one either...we have the attitude in crime that it is better for 100 guilty to get away with murder than for one innocent to be imprisoned. I think it should be the same with ministry. Yeah, some are freeloaders. But, that doesn't make such ministries bad...they are vital.
