Welfare on a grand scale

[a-phoenix-afire.livejournal.com]

I know it's hard to hear the truth from a source that can't be easily dismissed as rabidly republican or right wing fascist, but there it is. It's the same thing conservatives have been saying about the nanny state since the late 70s heyday of the president Peanut debacle.

Personally, I think that the high ranking libs are completely aware of the travesty that large scale welfare programs create, and are simply using our money to devastate the African and Afro-American communities, while publicly decrying the opposition as stingy, racist and stupid.

It's the best of both worlds, while they line their pockets by passing pork, and stuff the ballot boxes by fooling the uneducated who look to the likes of Rev.s Loudmouth and Blackmailer for guidance.

On the bright side... GW has more than doubled Aids aid to Africa for this coming year(something the MSM is loath to report for some inexplicable reason), so you can say that THIS is all his fault too.
