S. Carolina delivers!
 

The lolz. :lol:

"[My grandmother] told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed. You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better."

-- SC Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer, on government assistance...

It makes perfect sense. If you stop providing school lunches, poor kids will starve to death before they are old enough to breed.

Saw that on Colbert last night. Hilarious!

He did come back and clarify his statements by saying, "I have nothing against animals"

hahahahahahaha

What was the context of the quote?

Thanks 'slice.

I feel the same way about Haiti.

Darwin ftmfw.

Isn't this the same state where the Governor flew to Argentina to get a piece of ass?

Yep. :lol:


Bauer made the comment as part of an argument that people should lose government benefits if they fail drug tests or don't attend parent-teacher conferences or PTA meetings.

"Look folks, if you receive goods or services from the government and you don't attend a parent-teacher conference, bam, you lose your benefits," he said. In a follow-up story, the Greenville News reports that Bauer said "he would penalize only adults and that he never advocated taking away a child's free or reduced-price lunch. His speech was about breaking the cycle of dependence on government aid, he said."

Follow up, as in, trying to cover your ass after exposing yourself as a complete douchebag.

JC

How does he propose to penalize the adults, then? And who is collecting exact attendance records at PTA meetings anyway?

Being a douchebag for being a politician ballsy enough to say what millions of people across the country say, even if it maybe isn't the most politically correct? Makes sense.

Let's recap:

1. Compares poor people to stray animals.

2. Implies that kids should lose their lunch money, if their parents don't attend PTA meetings. (Mind you, this is in a state with one of the worst, and under-funded, school systems in the country).

3. Later says he "has nothing against animals". :lol:

4. Claims remark was taken out of context. Don't they all...

Add it all up, spells douchebag to me.

JC

I don't live in SC but I work in SC. The town I work in brags about having the 'best schools in SC.' Considering SC ranks so low nationally, what are they really saying? :lol:

He may have been a little extreme in his comparison, but I agree with his overall point about cutting back welfare.

Don't back-pedal now, Nancy.

Be a man, t.

Say it with me: I agree with his statement.

Period.

He's right

It's time to knock the freeloaders off welfare :idk: they've been hitching a free ride for way too long

"nothing against birds" of course :D

Where is PETA when you need them.:lol:

You should only get benefits for so long, and only so many times. After that, you're on your own.

We're on 6th generation lifetime recipients now….where they are now so educated on the loopholes it’s a money MAKING process.

I agree with his statement, ppl should not be allowed to skate through life on the coat tails of the rich, that being said I am for the goverment stepping in and trying aid the situation, but the ppl must want to be helped for to to be successful, there in lies the problem

one set amount no "bonus money" for extra kids. one kid or twenty you all get the same.

$100 bonus if you have no kids.

So do I, but school lunches? Really?

JC

Thats where it becomes tough for the people wh need/can use it to help them get back on thier feet., as opposed to the ones who just want to leetch off of the govt and not get a real job.

Last I heard, they were in Canada, throwing TOFU pies at your officials. :lol:

JC

I have family who live this life. I know people slightly older than me with six kids.

It makes me angry because there are people who need it, and they get screwed and looked down upon because lazy people work the system for everything they can get..

Good lord even the Canadian gets it...

My mom worked for the Child support enforcement division of social services for 37 years......in her time she saw many faces, but she could keep track of a lot of them. The ones that worked the system would have 6-8 kids starting when they were 13-15....give one to their mom, sister, aunt....etc, so THEY could get support and welfare, and sure enough, when THAT child turned 13-15 they would start producing little profit-sharing generators themselves. It’s a racket and it’s all these people know how to do. It needs to be stopped. But NOW….whoever stops it will be accused of taking food from the mouths of babies. Fuggin ridiculous!

He's not a freeloader.
He's the pilot.

shhhhh....you're messing up the chorus


Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you'll never change.
And this bird you can not change.

asshole...
Now I have it stuck in my head (that and the scene from Forest Gump)

Cant pass a drug test, no soup for you. No food stamps, no govt cheese, no WIC, no unemployment.
Dont have a comment on the douche from SC, i dont care BUT
If i have to stay clean and sober and working to pay my taxes you should do the same to collect benefits.

There is alot of merit to the quote....

Unfortunately we've turned natural selection on its head, which is why this country is going downhill so fast. :idk:

So true
