Sorry, Louie. Shouldn’t have gone there. This isn’t about truth or what’s right or wrong any more. This isn’t about building a healthier nation by promoting individual earned success. This is about using POWER to reward your friends and punish your enemies.
Well at least ONE person sees the light. Too bad there are so many “blind” liberals that have difficulty grasping the truth. The problem isn’t going to get resolved anytime soon.
Another potential reason for all this is to create even MORE demodummie voters. Once they get into the welfare trough (and get their “free s&5t”, as they call it), they are hooked for life. There are exceptions to all this but they are VERY RARE.
Bravo, Louie!
Keep making their heads explode by telling the truth.

According to Hannity, Gohmert offered him his seat at the SOTU show. Hannity was undecided on whether he wold take him up on that offer.

Gohmert Breaks Down The ‘War on Poverty’

Around 10 min. Gohmert talks about the auto bailout and the unconstitutional actions of this administration, comparing it to the IRS targeting of conservatives, and calls out SCOTUS for their inaction.
Sidenote> one car dealership worth 5 million was given to a democrat to add to his car dealership. Car dealers who gave to the GOP were targeted.
Glad to call him my congressman....
Fifty years into the war, the illegitimacy rate – THE SINGLE MOST CONSISTENT PREDICTOR OF POVERTY – is 25 percent for whites, 42 percent for Hispanics and a truly staggering 72 percent for blacks.
Interesting - finally an explanation for how someone like Sharpton can be a 'leader'...
This from back in the late 19th century:
"George McGonegal, New York state superintendent of the poor, criticized programs wherein 'families are furnished a stated amount weekly or monthly, and this is continued week after week and year after year.' McGonegal argued that recipients soon 'lose their energy and self-respect and find it easier to rely upon the industry of others to furnish them their daily bread than to exert themselves to earn a livelihood.' He pointed out the danger of what we today call inter-generational dependency: When parents' prayers for a daily dole were answered,
their children learn to think that getting provisions and fuel from the overseer of the poor is perfectly right and proper, and they are almost certain to follow in the footsteps of their parents."
from The Tragedy of American Compassion by Marvin Olasky
Wonder how many "dads" were involved. Thank you LBJ, you sorry lowlife bastard.
“Tell the truth about welfare checks and unwed mothers – and say he got into politics to do something about it.”
I saw a documentary like 25 years ago and they were interviewing the welfare mothers. They all said the same thing, they got pregnant so they could get on welfare and get out of their mother’s house and get their own apt.
Then they interviewed a few older ones sitting around playing cards in the afternoon and they all said they didn’t try to get a job because they could live on welfare. At that time they were raking in about $23,000 per year.
Since if there was a man in the house, no check, it made economic sense.
