Oy Veh! Is THIS the new and improved version of the "welfare mom"?
:puke:
I am constantly being laden with sugary snacks, potato chips, soda pop, sugar cereals, maccaroni and cheese in boxes, pop tarts, tweenkies, etc. and pushed around by a 300 lb white woman in flip flops and a mumu (who is wider than me) with a 2 year old in nothing but diapers in my basket, and a couple of half-black kids barefooted with snotty noses hanging on my handle.

Never any real nutricious foods ever get thrown in me.

She then rolls me up to the check out counter, checks this garbage out, whips out her Lone Star card for the "groceries", then pays for a couple of packs of smokes with greenback dollars.

I get tired. Please help me.

2. Aren't they though?
They are the ugly underbelly of society.

3. Besides being probably an urban legend
Only a minuscule of our tax dollars go to social programs for relief. On the other hand, roughly 40 percent of our federal income taxes we pay go to the defense industry. And, we just bailed out some banks and insurance companies. Tell me again, who are the real "welfare queens"?

4. We all know that
But they hang on to their strawmen like they are security blankets.

5. Oh, yeah, I know that I'm preaching to the choir here
But I bring this up all the time to winger friends and relatives, and they brush it aside. It's as if this fact doesn't exist. It's always about welfare and "welfare queens." Shit, I'm so sick of their lack of curiosity and stupidity.

6. Paris, TX, who'da thunk? A fine little POS town where Christains cherry pick the Bible to suit
their needs. And, much like the movie "Harvest Home" they create that which they choose to despise and attack.
