Of course the liberal utopia is built upon happy thoughts and good intentions.

Pay no attention to those people who want to harm you though.

Helping kids whose parents didn’t serve in no way denigrates the kids of parents who served.

Just thought I’d clear that muddled thought up for you there.

You left off a “do” there, Ksgrm.

Spend your money as you will just don’t try to spend mine. I will help every needy child I can and do – who do you help with your money and not mine?

Dems talk a good game like Madam Hillary and the Pulet prize winner Algore but check their charitable contributions – The clintons once gave a value of $2.50 to used underwear of Bills that were donated to charity and Algore gave less that $100 his first year in office.

Dems talk repubs do.

For a second there, I almost thought you were sincere.

We have the biggest military in the world.

Wait, no.

We spend more money on our military than the top ten nations of the world combined.

Wait, no.

We spend more on our military than ALL THE OTHER NATION’S SPEND ON THEIRS COMBINED.

You don’t have to be a Rhodes Scholar like Bill Clinton to see that when you pick people’s pockets to give it huge multinationals like Boeing, McDonald Douglas (or whatever conglomerate they are now), Raytheon, Halliburton, Bechtold, CACI, etc. etc., we might not have enough for CHILDREN’S health in this country.

It’s a matter of priorities, Ksgrm. You want to take my money and spend it on the richest companies in the world.

I want to spend it on our nation’s children.

Does Kansas also believe that the children who get scholarships from Sen. Reids letter sale are also being “insulted”?

“Isnt that what some folks said about those SCHIP families??? They should have been more prepared for a dilemma to strike???

I guess it doesnt work the same for military families, huh???

Chas I see you and Cosmos are as obtuse as ever. How hard is it you wrap your mind around the concept that willingly giving money to a charity and that charity then giving the money to the recipients of their choice is an entirely different ball of wax from the government picking the pockets of unwilling donors to give to recipients the donors feel are unworthy and are lazy to boot. Nothing is being said about the truely needy but we all know the system is rife with abusers.

Cosmos are you really stupid enough to think you can insult the distinquished veterans who have served to protect our country without being called out on it? I think the entire GW thing has cooked your braincells.

WTF?

Military actually do something for their country, instead of having the ever-reaching handout “gimme” crowd.

That’s what it means to be a CON in a nutshell.

A two year old whose dad dies from a heart attack while peeling potatoes DESERVES taxpayer help.

The two year old whose dad dies while starting his own wind tower business deserves nothing.

It’s that two year old kid’s fault that he was born into an undeserving family.

Does Kansas also believe that the children who get scholarships from Sen. Reids letter sale are also being “insulted”?

Why don’t you stand up and face the millions of retired military and say that to their face if you have the courage instead of hiding behind a computer.

Go ahead, make a full page ad in the newspaper of your choice explaining your stance on retired military and tell them how they get a handout.

That’s what I thought. Insult one and you insult us all.

Incorrect.

The Army and Air Force Exchange System along with the Navy Exchange system are ran through non-appropriated funds. That is, the profits they make go back into the upkeep of the organization that provides the products and services.

Taxpayers fund the military. Posted by: cosmos | October 19, 2007 at 01:02 AM

Military members are taxpayers as well.

Posted by: Kansas | October 19, 2007 at 12:35 AM

The military does what they’re ordered to do, and the results are not always positive (see Iraq).

Taxpayers fund the military.

What percent discount does Kansas get when he shops at the military PX? That’s a taxpayer “handout”.

I am sorry

I do not wish to be unkind.

If I did a search of your posts here, my memory says you were at one time on food stamps.

I could probably complete it before your answer. If I’m wtong I will say so.

I just think it is a really bad message for the President to veto a health care package extension to benefit CHILDREN…. I mean, those kids only know they are sick, and cant get well… they could care less about democrat or republican… liberal or conservative…. that is the really sad part…

WTF?

It is still Charity for THEM…

Also, what PMom said

How much money have you given to provide for the health care of others Chas?

Political Mom?
