yeah they tend to distort and take things out of context, which means nothing to a sheep like you.
Hell I know Fincher, if you want to bitch about susidies, lets do it. I'm all for getting the govt out of business and pretty much anything but it's original purpose defense.

My brother is an arch conservative, and has been since long before the tea party. He is against all forms of government welfare, at federal ,state, county, and city levels. He has nothing but contempt for those on food stamps , section 8 housing, etc., etc.

Oh, let me back up a little. My brother worked for a major defense contractor for 50 years. Every paycheck he got was due to government contracts for defence. His son got a government loan to go to college. His wife has MS, and all of her expenses for the last 8 years have been paid by Medicare. He lives in a custom built house that is worth about $600,000 with no mortgage, but draws his SS check every month. He just had surgery last month, again, paid by Medicare. In spite of that, he considers "Obamacare' to be socialistic. When we were growing up, our grandmother got monthly food subsidies , like penut butter and bread, which were provided by the government through their programs to buy and distribute farm surplues. Between that, and my mother's support, she did not starve. He hates unions, in spite of the fact that when our father lost his job, which meant that we would lose our home, the union got his job back for him.

I was on food stamps once. It was after Katrina, and all the banks and ATMS were closed. Almost all employers were closed. It was impossible to access one's money. There was no mail delivery, and even trying to use a credit card was very Iffy". With a food stamp card, I could go to Walmart, buy canned food, swip the food stamp card, and feed my family. I guess that makes me a welfare king, too lazy and irresponsible to rely on myself.

So they didn't take this out of context so....what's your problem? You want everyone to ignore it?

GOPer Who Got Millions in Farm Subsidies Thinks the Poor Should Starve Rather Than Get Food Stamps | Alternet

Republican Congressman Stephen Fincher of Tennessee, who supports cuts to the program, had his own Bible verse from the Book of Thessalonians to quote back to Vargas: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat,” he said.

I'll add this quote because the talking points will be repeated..

He fulminates about people who are allegedly "unwilling to work" sucking off the government teat with impunity. This is a patently dishonest representation of the SNAP program. Most people who receive food stamps cannot be dismissed as losers who are "unwilling to work." Nearly half (47%) of all food stamp recipients are children. Another 8% are 60 years of age or older. The "working poor" - people who live in a household with income from work - represent another 41%. Between children, the elderly, the working poor, and people who want a job but cannot find one - someone should tell Fincher that there are still more than 3 unemployed job seekers for every 1 opening - that leaves very few people who can be accurately described as being "unwilling" to work. It's also worth noting that the average monthly SNAP benefit is a whopping $287.

Compassionate Conservatives quoting the bible to justify letting the poor starve

Taking a quote out of context! We should help the helpless, but not the hopeless. Why should one be reward for his/her refusal to work. Part of the problem with food is the rapid inflation of the cost. What causes this inflation in food prices? Over-burdensome regulation on business to which the costs get pushed onto the consumer. Over-business taxation. Massive over-spending that leads to massive printing of money. All this has increased inflation and food prices!

Also the farm subsidies are a conservative subsidy. Where do you come up with such bull shit?

He didn't "come up" with that bullshit. That would imply the post was a researched and thought out oppinion. He merely regurgitated some inane drivel a fellow bed wetter posted on facebook.

Usually when someone says something was taken out of context they prove it. You didn't. Can you not provide the entire context to show what I posted is a lie? You cant or you woulda done it already.

Poor you

 

[Lonestar_logic]

So the government should steal money, give it to someone else and this will help cash flow in the food market?

Sure, if you're into theft, market manipulation and the corruption/abuse that always comes with these types of "subsidies".

So, are you "stealing" public roadways? Are you "stealing" police services? Are you "stealing" your disability payments? Perhaps you are; I'm only wondering.

Did the masons actually allow someone as stupid as you to join? If so I'm glad I didn't pursue membership after all.

Trust me, he's no Mason.

 

[Lonestar_logic]

Next time read what you quote instead of going on auto-pilot with your talking points. The poor do work. Now time for you to find a new justification for being an asshole

The poor do work? No not all of them do so stop being dishonest.

These clowns do not want to work and they don't.

You want honesty? Tell me who said ALL POOR people work mr Honesty?

Well to be perfectly honest you made no distinction between those that do or do not work.

So you pretty much left it up to interpretation.

You opted for welfare and your brother didn't. So what's your point?

a very typical liberal response we hear is if conservatives are agains abortion, why aren't they out adopting babies? well if liberals are so bent on helping the hungry and homeless why aren't they inviting them into their houses and feeding them?

Sad,

People that are in real need sometimes need help...Totally understandable if they're abled adults that are using the system.

Abled bodied adults should be expected to enter a work program to get help.

 

[francoHFW]

Nobody refuses to work, and the myths you KNOW are hater bs. The min wage is a joke, and having to lose Medicaid to get work is a disgrace, ending next year. Pass a real gd jobs bill and a living wage, dupes. Also, those farm subsidies are usually a good idea when you know the facts, chumps lol.

What's even worse is that because of the sloths in the system, people who really do deserve help suffer a lower standard of living than we should otherwise be able to provide.

Nah, I'm saying Alternet openly lies. Slander and Libel are the product that Alternet provides.

Only an idiot, and I mean a COMPLETE fucking idiot, believes one word from that putrid sewer of hate.

Of course the fact that they shamelessly lie about those you hate is what you like about Alternet.
