My logic is that it isn’t logical to feign concern for unborn babies while also refusing money allocated to support children.


But money already goes to them. And their parents.


You aren’t actually advocating for helping anyone. Just wealth transfer.

There are plenty of avenues you could help children. You should do it instead of asking the fricking government.

It is not about just refusing money. There are heavy administrative costs which some states have cited as the reason for refusing the funds. The money from the federal government can't be used to cover the cost of program administration.

How? When did I say anything about a wealth transfer?

When did I ask the government for help or to help?

When I first signed up, I was 20 or so and was Fox News watching koolaid drinker, so I fit right in here. I unfortunately grew up and had to live in the real world, which is when my views changed.

Louisiana folks would rather use that money as welfare for the farming and oil industry

So… never? You made an assumption and it’s wrong so I guess you better just gaslight me and double down claiming I did something I never did. Brilliant strategy.

I wonder why DHHS or DCFS wouldn’t just say this when asked.

Seems like less teens working at these places and legit seeing grandma scanning and bagging groceries. The young ones have too much idle time.


This is what I am seeing. Old people returning to work because the younger ones dont want to put out the effort.

They obviously dont need money.

The Dems create all these wonderful 'titles' for their duplicitous and ulterior motivated and pernicious Programs. They might give away food, but require those serving it to be Trans perverts normalizing their behavior in the minds of innocent children whose parents totally reject such as being Pagan ideology, inspired by Demonic Powers.

I want to know every single aspect of a Program before I judge it as being 'pro-life' or destructive of life. Satan will appear "as an angel of light". Just like with votes, validate the signatures of voters, the Witness and the address. ANY Program or supposedly altruistic process which is not totally open, is questionable. Like Reagan said, "trust but verify". No verify...no trust.

You are smart and well-intentioned, 4C; and given the current division, that demand is not outside of honest government. Or we can continue to challenge each other's motivations and end up fighting it out in the streets. Where those children will die by the millions.

Wtf does this have to do with killing babies in the womb?


That's the problem with the unprincipled right today. "Pro life" goes beyond abortion. It should apply to all life, not just conditional selective partisan arguments. That's no better than the way libtards look at things. Pro life means humanitarian decisions no matter what. No genocide, ahem, no war, ahem....etc.

The oil industry is the most penalized industry in the country. There is no "oil subsidy"

Do you believe every single dumb leftist platitude in existence?

How many of those agencies prohibit women from accessing abortions though?


A murder charity is an interesting concept.

It does. Giving people free shite is antithetical to pro life.

quote:

Such trends are not unique to blacks, nor even to the United States. The welfare state has led to remarkably similar trends among the white underclass in England over the same period. Just read “Life at the Bottom,” by Theodore Dalrymple, a British physician who worked in a hospital in a white slum neighborhood.

You cannot take any people, of any color, and exempt them from the requirements of civilization — including work, behavioral standards, personal responsibility and all the other basic things that the clever intelligentsia disdain — without ruinous consequences to them and to society at large.

Non-judgmental subsidies of counterproductive lifestyles are treating people as if they were livestock, to be fed and tended by others in a welfare state — and yet expecting them to develop as human beings have developed when facing the challenges of life themselves.


THOMAS SOWELL

Welfare and free shite creates dependency and dysfunction.
