McAllen, Tex. — They were already running late for a doctor’s appointment, but first the Salas family hurried into their kitchen for another breakfast paid for by the federal government. The 4-year-old grabbed a bag of cheddar-flavored potato chips and a granola bar. The 9-year-old filled a bowl with sugary cereal and then gulped down chocolate milk. Their mother, Blanca, arrived at the refrigerator and reached into the drawer where she stored the insulin needed to treat her diabetes. She filled a needle with fluid and injected it into her stomach with a practiced jab.
A doctor's appointment after eating a breakfast paid for by food stamps? Gee, I wonder who will be paying for that medical visit!
Quote:
The family checkup had been scheduled at the insistence of a school nurse, who wanted the Salas family to address two concerns: They were suffering from both a shortage of nutritious food and a diet of excess — paradoxical problems that have become increasingly interconnected in the United States, and especially in South Texas.
Of course, when a conservative steps up to try to put a stop to this madness, Democrats and liberals demagogue them (us) to death for trying to deprive little Juan or Tyrone or Jimmy of his Fruity Pebbles!

Now Blanca herself was too sick to work, receiving disability payments at age 40 and testing her blood-sugar level twice each day to guard against the stroke doctors warned was forthcoming as a result of her diet.
Quote:
Blanca’s parents emigrated from Mexico in the 1950s to pick strawberries and cherries, and they often repeated an aphorism about the border fence. “On one side you’re skinny. On the other you’re fat,” they said. Now millions more had crossed through the fence, both legally and illegally, making Hidalgo County one of the fastest-growing places in America.
This woman is the THE PERFECT example of failed liberal ideology. She's the child of immigrants. She's fat. She's disabled. She does not work. She receive's food stamps. She has 5 obese children.
Is there a more perfect example of how liberals and liberalism are the death of America?
Why complain - you did consent, didn't you?
Withdraw consent, if it bothers you so much.

In fact, if a mere 3% withdrew, the government would collapse in a matter of days.
I'm not rooting for government collapse. I am rooting for total government reform, including a top to bottom reformation of the government handout apparatus.

why do you assume she is a liberal? I heard she was a founding member of the local tea party chapter in her community.
On another note, when I see the local right wing conservative, gun toting local militia wanna-bees all dressed in camo gear, with the "come and take em" bumper stickers, they all look like they swallowed a bowling ball and without exception, they are fat, morbidly obese, loud mouth, judgmental bastards.

That would **** off Wall Street. They own the government, so forget about it.

You know what I'm talkin about???
Her personal political ideology is not the point. The point is that liberalism feeds, supports, foments, protects, and encourages her ability to be a net drag on society. Apparently, that went right over your head.

This is exactly why they are pouring over the border. What other country would allow millions to come and pay them to breed. This woman never has to worry about working for the rest of her life.

Exactly. And this is what liberals are pushing for through amnesty. They want the vote, America be damned. This is also why I, and many others, believe that John McCain, Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, and others should be purged from the Republican Party. They support the very liberal ideology that us common folk know is the death spiral of our nation.
