I suspect that the term, There ain't no such thing as a free lunch, was popularized [View All]

[WCGreen]

by depression era "forgotten men", a nome de plume expression for an unemployed man that allowed, you guessed it, conservatives to ignore unemployed men as long as they kept to their camps...

Even though the expression was originated with saloon keepers promising a "free lunch", modern translation, * happy hour Hors d'oeuvre, for those who come in to drink, I am still going to say, with a lot of truth and a cocky self assurance, that the term was a complaint by those "forgotten men" who were forced to listen to sermons while eating at the local church run soup kitchen. I will even go so far, as my conservative opposites do all the time, to claim this term should be used to describe the underlying motive behind the rights move to privatize charitable deeds. Well, that would be true, but still say it with enough gusto to stamp out the politically incorrect crowd from making you sound like you are whining about something..

Oh boy did that feel good...

And in keeping with the rights wildly successful disinformation tactics, feel free to spread this in any way you care to but be sure to say you have it on a reliable source that this is the truth, so help you god...


* then as now, this free food is so full of salt that you just have to spend all the money in your pocket, or your credit limit, on drinks to quench a ravaging thirst. (Gee, it really easy to just say things without ever having to check up on the truth)
