The greatest tragedy in U.S. history

[Sundance508]

No - it's not the murder of 5 police officers in Dallas, or 3 police officers in Louisiana. It's not 9/11 or the Oklahoma City bombing. It's not the Watts Riots, the LA Riots, or the New Orleans Riots. It's not the $19 trillion in national debt or the erosion or rights. Unbelievably, it's not even slavery.

The greatest tragedy in U.S. history (in world history for that matter) is the unimaginable sacrifices men and women who founded this country and fought in wars to protect it, made - only to have modern-day liberals take their sacrifices and turn them into bargaining chips to be traded in for pitiful government table scraps and other handouts.

I guess for some - who never had to make any sacrifices and had freedom handed to them on a silver platter - liberty just doesn't mean that much. Millions throughout U.S. history made tremendous sacrifices - up to and including giving their lives - only to have it voluntarily surrendered by those on the left for some stamps allowing the purchase of cigarettes and beer.

The Sacrifices Made by the Men Who Signed the Declaration

Great post ...I had never seen the sacrifices the signers made....listed before...very interesting to see that.

I absolutely agree regarding how those who have defended this country(many paying the ultimate price) are not appreciated to the degree they should be....you see many academicians...professors etc. who in fact condemn not only the founders of this nation but those who have fought to defend it...in the name of some lofty idealism of modern day equalism....the nation is more divided today than at any time since The War Between The States...some call it a culture war that we are witnessing...I think a more accurate term would be Good Vs. Evil aka...... The Judaeo-Christian heritage that not only made America but made it great vs. modern day secuarlism,socialism and marxism.

The story is most disingenuous....

 

[Moonglow]

About 55 innocent people were murdered during the Rodney King riots partially because the liberal media encouraged violence as a solution for perceived legal injustice. The reckless conduct of the liberal media is the greatest tragedy in modern times.

Fox News, to their credit, plays down these tragedies to minimize copycat or wildfire casualties. MSNBC and CNN are the worst offenders who at times appear to be fanning the flames of civil unrest, trading blood for ratings and "civil rights" political agendas..

Again another disingenuous post..

so what, my taxes should not cover any luxery. they didnt earn any, they shouldnt get any. Period.
all they need are the basic food items. nothing more. they dont need a steak, or a lobster, basic items only. no chips, no beer no twinkies nothing. If they want those things make them work for it. make them suffer in order to give them the initiative to go out and get better.

It's not for a luxury. The cash is to buy things that are essential non-food items. As I've told several people as misguided as yourself, you are not the only person that pays taxes. I've worked and paid taxes. My parents have worked and paid taxes. Their parents have worked and paid taxes...and it goes on and on. I work part-time currently and go to school full-time. I qualify for food stamps. Does that make me a bad person living off YOUR taxes? Fuck no. and this is true for many other people across this country.

It does make you a tick on the ass of society. As such, your opinion should be ignored.

And your response makes you an asshole. I know which I'd rather be.

"Asshole" must be a euphemism meaning "taxpayer." In other words, it refers to those who make it possible for you to get free stuff. That's the classic ingrate attitude of ticks towards their benefactors.

Funny coming form someone who is obviously a Republican who believes in the Constitution...so you want to shut up my rights to Free Speech? As I said, I worked all my life and paid taxes and continue to work and pay taxes. I'm not living off of anyone. If you don't like the system, move somewhere else.

You move to Canada. Here we have this things called elections where I can vote to get rid of things I don't like. RIght now you are sucking off of taxpayers like me who get no government benefits.

Not SNAP food benefits...SNAP money benefits.

PS. I'll go one step further. Just give me your address and I'll send you YOUR taxes back each month that I get in food stamps. I'll send you 1/82,000,000th of a cent each month via paypal.

so you leech off of society.
This explains your misguided opinion on the money for moochers program.

I don't leech off of anything. I'm 40 years old and worked all my life. I paid taxes...I'm getting nothing but something back in the benefits that I paid for myself...and continue to pay as I'm still working.

see, i didnt know that the taxes I pay would be for me to go in and get back.
How do I get my free food, phone, transportation, spending money, house, electric and water.
honestly people that collect the leech pay should not be allowed to vote.

Well equality during the beginning of this nation was limited to white propertied males..

Of course corporate welfare is many times more dollars than social welfare.

lets look at that shall we?
the corporation pays employees that in turn pay taxes. So, the corporation is generating income for the treasury department.
The scum that suck off of the taxpayer do nothing for society, they are a useless drain.
If you were looking at your household expenses and saw something you were paying for that served you no purpose, you would get rid of whatever that thing might be.
try again, there is no such thing as corporate welfare, unless you refer to all of those green companies that took our money, paid their executives and then went under.. Of course thats different in your mind because your idiot obama came up with the idea

Right? I should move to Canada because you don't like the fact that my taxes and those of all the people before me is going towards a social program I am a part of? Maybe you should quit driving on the roads that I helped pave? Maybe you should quit calling the cops that my tax dollars have helped pay for. Maybe you should never call the fire department of the people my tax dollars have helped build...SNAP is not the only social program out there. Of which I seriously doubt you have, or have never used.

if you make so little that you are getting hand outs from the taxpayer, chances are that you actually dont pay tax when all is said and done.
even if you did pay a little bit (which i doubt),, it would be offset by the money contributed by others.
your theory that you pay taxes fails

Ive paid taxes my entire working life, I am now back in college, and working and paying more in tax than what the average yearly income is for the country.
You failed yourself somewhere. At your age you should not be even close for eligibility for the leech programs.

let try that with the IRS next time around. Im not paying you anything because I bought stuff and paid tax already.
Besides, if he pays tax with money that he got for free from other peoples tax,, how exactly is that helping anything?
leech.

 

[Lewdog]

The funny thing, is that I know how I treat my fellow human beings and that when I die, I can die with a conscience about that. I doubt the people on here that want to degrade people over Food Stamps and complain about their taxes can say the same... unless they are lying and know deep down that they can't.

here is a clue. make it charity, real charity, give people the option to pay into the leech fund.
Easy for you to fight for it since you collect and dont pay. I might fight to keep free stuff too if I were uneducated enough to qualify for it.
