I will address one of these with a simple question. Out of all named; who receives the bulk of food stamp money? Why do they want it to keep going?

In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinborough, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior:

"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship."

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to complacency; From complacency to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage."

Hey Arch, if Democrat/Progressive policies are so devastating, how is it that most of these states, run by Republicans, are doing so bad?

Never was a more true statement ever made. When you have lost that agressive nature needed to tame a wild land and just fight to stay alive, you start down hill. Men from that time would not stand around and let the crap going on now last a New York Minute. :cry: :cry: :cry:

They have more than one thing in common. They all have been run by Democrats and their failed policies for decades.

Just where is all of this food stamp money ending up?

I say it ends up in the large companies that sell the food,

Take a look at how it holds up farm prices.

You will most likely go to your grave blaming the wrong people for the problems you see.

Most of us are in leaky boats trying to stay a float while those in the big ships pay no heed to the people floating in leaky boats or those that have just a leaky inner tube.

And who signed NAFTA? Clinton.

Hunger and the will to survive are great motivators; just ask the Irish who emigrated to Canada and the U.S. during the famine (and who were more despised and discriminated against than Blacks were/are).
