Comments for The Anarchy in Baltimore is Endemic of Liberal Policies | Eastern North Carolina Now

Poverty of mind, poverty of spirit, poverty of intelligence in their elected officials, Baltimore has it all.

Maryland is a divided state between regular folks and the profoundly stupid, and for quite a while, the stupid have been winning.

Good one Ted on the redistribution of poverty angle. Maryland has the corner on it.

Believe it or not< once Maryland was considered a Southern state. There are many residents on the eastern shore and in their small spit of mountains wish they could be southerners. They detest their stupid elected leaders.

Maryland is a great example of when the electorate gets stupid, they elect the stupid.

Redistribution of Poverty. I came up with this brilliant idea after the 2nd cup of coffee.
This plan is working in Baltimore and can work in other major cities.

The Welfare Mayor of Baltimore, Ms. Rawlings-Blake, has now hired the Racist Al Sharpton to handle her media affairs.

Ms. Rawlings-Blake may continue to get the stupid vote, but how far can that take you in politics? Obviously, pretty far in Maryland.

The War on Poverty and Vietnam War both began to bankrupt America. Any common sense should have told us you can't fight and pay forever with nothing but dependency as the result.

The problem with Social Security now is that a Trust Fund designed to go up and down with inflation and calculated carefully to be a Supplemental Security Income (SSI) was sucked into the General Budget to cover the cost of War! Now the Budget gave only a 1.5% increase in a 5% inflation scenario this year. All of us who paid the tax through our working life are more than pissed at this!!!

Here is the ticket on war that Bush started: costsofwar.org

If we count a generation as 10 years, we now have FIVE generations of dependent Americans who should have worked their way up in the first 10 years or been cut off. Our Agencies to handle the program are in larger and larger buildings and growing in employees as well.

When Santee-Wateree did the first funding of programs, one was to provide a housekeeper to qualifying people who would go around each week and clean their houses for them. As the Pastor of the First Baptist Church of Bishopville, SC, we lived in the nicest parsonage in SC---BUT we did the housework. The custodian cut the grass, but I gladly kept the bushes and cut a tree down. I consulted with the County Agent and got directions to correct the fungus problems killing all the shrubs.

Some of my best thinking time for good sermons was when doing yard work. It made me fit and anyone who want to get out of poverty can think their way out as a first step---while doing work with a swing blade and mower!!!

2 wars, one killing and maiming my friend and the other making people into porch bunnies was STUPID!!!

I am going to sound harsh here on Welfare:

I think we have the perfect solution for WIC card obesity and unemployment~~~instead of hiring all the tractors and prisoners being used to keep roadsides---let each recipient do the same 40 hours a week of public work BEFORE the card is charged! They can fix potholes alongside DOT workers as well.

This is just the start of ending a 5-generation sucking of the tit on Title XX. Had I had my way, it would have terminated in year 10. If you can't get out of your hole in 10 years---TOO DAMN BAD!

I am TOTALLY in agreement with Ted on Welfare. It has now been 5 generations since I served on the Title XX (LBJ War on Poverty) funds going to the Santee-Wateree 5-county district of SC. I stated in the meeting--and still contend--any program which makes a person want to stay on government subsidies for a month longer than necessary---IS NOT DOING ANYONE A FAVOR!

Stan should kiss me on the cheek over that totally Conservative view---"I shall shave close," as General Patton said in his formal apology for hitting a soldier.

On the Baltimore Mess is say --- the whole thing looks like Brown Shirt thugs rounding up the Jews into their new Ghetto. If Siren gas gets used on the crowds, we will soon know if the Conservative Propaganda line is just a cover for Police Terrorism . . .

No peace no Snap Card. It is time to review all welfare programs.
