I was also born of poor parents. My grandfather came to America legally with his wife and four daughters and managed to feed them as a janitor. My father's family came to America around 1850, legally. None were rich, but all fed multiple kids and wives with hard work. Shortly after my father and mother married, while I was still a small child, they were lucky enough to afford a potato for potato soup. But my father worked almost all my life until he died, seven days a week, yes 365 days a year, running a business he started on his own. He eventually reached the level of millionaire and still worked every day. He never asked for a thing from the government accept a fair chance to make his business a success.

He had this old grunt of a man who worked for him. The guy was having a hard time making ends meet and my father brought him into his office and offered to help him. He told my father that his family was his business and to keep out of it. That was a man even though he could only read enough to fill out his time card. He always worked at least 10 hours a day, often up to sixteen and six days a week. Responsibility.

That is the old days. Yes, some people could use a hand to get on their feet. Sometimes things happen and they have to many responsibilities and not enough options. I submitted the original posting for this string. Yes, this girl was pissed and wanted welfare recipients to do more of their share. We aren't vicious monsters. Some people for various reasons will never be able to help themselves and really need the help. No Conservative wants to completely cut them off. But there are to many on the welfare rolls that could get off if they worked like some of us describe. Yes, we're rightfully upset about some v****g for the ones who will give them more of a handout (democrats) instead of a hand up (Republicans). Yes, we're upset about having to pay so much for illegal invaders and their kids. Damn it, go home. Make your own country great through the hard work our parents did. We don't lack compassion. Just a different version then democrats. We think that these continuous handouts hurt America. We're in a s**t house full of debt and the democrats and yes, the Republicans are standing over us with a shovel and shoveling away. We need to start using a little more common sense and less blind unhelpful compassion. Maybe more workfare like that girl suggested. More rice and beans and no soda pop, beer, and steaks.

Now. blast away.

Clark Hunt,CEO and owner of the kansas City Chiefs called a meeting with all his coaches and players and firmly told them;
"you are all simply paid performers on a stage.And that football field is my stage.
You will stand with your hand over your heart with respect when our country's National Anthem is played.
Or you will no longer be a Kansas City Chief,a coach for the Kansas City Chiefs,or have any association with this organization.
I will immediately fire you,no matter who you are.You can make your political statements off the field.
When you are employed by me,and I'm signing your check,I demand that you make our fans proud,and not embarrass them
