Who would want to work in America?

This video is very very disturbing.

This young lady is espousing an attitude that I’ve seen quite a bit over the past few years. Her last statement is the most chilling.

“I mean who would want to work in America? This is what the taxpayers are paying for.“

She’s talking about manipulating a system of welfare such that instead of the system being a safety net, it’s a livelihood.

She rattles off how much money she can wrangle from the welfare state and how “others” increase their profits by playing games with the definition of child care.

While stuff like this really pisses me off, I have to acknowledge that folks who “work” the system like this are pretty damn clever.

Hell, I had a tough time getting fucking unemployment because the system was convoluted and strange. Folks like this lady navigate that kind of weirdness with ease.

I couldn’t help but wonder, If people like her put as much effort into actually working would we need a welfare state anymore?

The thing that always amazes me, is that the “Entitled” class is so short sighted that they fail to realize at some point the taxpayers won’t be able to bear the burden of the “entitled” class.

When that happens it’s going to be pretty damn ugly. I picture something like Somalia. Hell we might even get some cool pirates!

How can folks like this claim victimhood? Not that this lady is claiming she’s a victim but there are others that would step right in front of any microphone and claim that they were oppressed.

She’s not dressed in rags, She’s obviously spent some time at a nail salon, she looks like she’s sitting in a fairly middle class home.

She’s not stupid either. Why work, why bother? The state will take care of her and her kids from now until the day they die.

All she has to do to make more money is fuck, (which like all of us, she’d do anyway) and make more mouths to feed and care for.

If this what welfare and being oppressed looks like, I’m doing something seriously wrong…
Better yet, I’ll take one order of oppression to go! Can I get that at Subway?
Why should I keep paying my taxes, or bills, or anything for that matter? 
Let me get my lilly white ass on the welfare gravy train!

The FRC Has got to be kidding!

When I started writing this, I was annoyed, and very sarcastic. As I wrote I calmed down and the sarcasm level dropped. I went back and removed or re-worded the venom because I’d like this not to be a rant as much as I’d like it to be something that people read and say humm, I hadn’t thought about it that way.

The FRC (Family Research Council) published an article on their web site expressing their concern about modifications to the UCMJ (Universal Code of Military Justice).

They used a headline that reads “BESTIALITY SHOULD GIVE LEADERS PAWS IN TROOP BILL” saying they’re concerned about congress changing the UCMJ so that it wouldn’t include bestiality as an offense. 

The idea that our congresspeople wouldn’t understand how to edit a line like this is preposterous, but it gave FRC something to rattle cages with.

Specifically they’re concerned about the line that reads;

“Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy.”

I pray to God these folks review their Christian beliefs and consider the following; 

Not all troops are gay. Those that are gay, really worked hard and sacrificed a lot for the privilege of serving their country.

Yeah, most Gay Soldiers I’ve talked to think of it as a privilege.

Sadly, gay troops sometimes face open hostility from other gay people because they’re soldiers.

So much of the gay community is so far to the left that sometimes gay soldiers are treated like traitors or criminals. (You should see how the gay community reacts if you’re a Republican! You’re not even dateable.) This from the very community that is supposed to be inclusive and proud of them…

Yet they serve, without complaint, without drama, they just do their jobs.

The conservative religious people are effectively asking that America reward that kind of dedication and love of country with what?

Lies? Fear? Never being able to dance in public with their loved one? Revulsion? Being treated as something “Less” but good enough to die? It doesn’t seem very Christian to me, and it’s sure as hell not American.

The bottom line for all of our service members regardless of sexuality is this;

They shouldn’t have to lie, to serve.
They shouldn’t have to live in fear, to serve.
They shouldn’t have to live a half life, to serve
They protect our way of life and should be respected and treated fairly and equally due to their service.

The FRC will wrap itself in the flag, talk about equality and fairness and vehemently defend its rights while at the same time hypocritically denying others their rights.

But they’ll never answer the simple questions “Why are you afraid, and of what?”

Is it any wonder that so many people look at religion and religious institutions with suspicion?
