Today they withold food from the disabled and homeless, soon the government is going to have the power to take away food from your own family.

[Le Chien Rouge]

Long story, short...the left has ALWAYS been about population control.

Abortion, Eugenics or controlling food production is just a few of the many tools the left use to reduce the herd.

well they do have a point feeding the homeless just enables their lifestyle and frees up what resources they have drugs and booze. I don’t take the states side here if someone wants to feel like a good liberal/christian/altruist and buy a homeless guy a sandwich or give them ten bucks for food (which is spent on vodka) than thats their bussiness.

Food rationing worked in England during WWII. There would have to be a similarly patriotic rationale for a free people to accept any form of mandatory food distribution.

Of course, the current generation has moved away from the simple pleasure and purpose of vegetable gardens, much less raising a few hens for eggs & meat.

I vaguely remember a Victory Garden revival under Jimmy Carter or was it Gerald Ford?

There is one liberal family in St. Paul who are friends, and we do find many areas of commons ground. One is that the best charity is that which is private, voluntary, and actually helps people. This is much superior to the faceless bureaucrat on a control trip, holding people down in order to justify his/her job. Organizations such as the Salvation Army have the biggest positive impact for each dollar.
This is all about control. And the bureaucrats in Los Angeles are being extremely heavy handed aobut this.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Can’t call them liberals any more. They are marxists. They want to control every aspect of society and economics. They want complete control over who eats what. That will give them control to starve future Terri Schiavos and old people.

I disagree with your premise. The liberals are not out to deny food to the poor. They are out to take our incomes to give food, shelter, cellphones and ipods to the poor. And make us poor in the process.

[Texas Fossil]

H.R. 2749 and S 510 bills are the evidence that the left intends to do exactly what is stated to the U.S.

H.R. 2749 passed the house last year, but if you look at the markup in the senate it is evident that some in the senate understand. It is a horror of a bill that has not received the proper coverage in the news.

Throw into the list of examples the Ethiopian “famine”. While there was a drought in Ethiopia, much of the hunger was due to a forced relocation scheme by the Mengistu regime. The food that was raised by the feel good “We are the world” campaign sat on the docks and either rotted, or was sold on the black market elsewheres by Mengistu’s thugs. In other words, the famine was really a deliberate genocide campaign, patterned on Stalin’s programs - Mengistu was a Stalinist. I shocked a lot of people in 1988 when I said that the best way to end the Ethiopian famine would be a well placed sniper round.

The libs (marxists) will not starve the homeless and disabled, provided that they stay in line. The libs (marxists) will starve counter-revolutionaries as they have in the past.

A few weeks before GWB began his first term, WJC publicly opined that the USA should cease farming, and import all food from third world countries that could farm “better and cheaper” than could the US. He presented this as a win-win: The USA could concentrate on high tech industries and service sector jobs, and third world countries would get much needed $$$$$$ in exchange for their crops. Can’t remember the source for the original article in which WJC shared this “brilliant” notion, and googling was unsuccessful. The article was posted to FR; if anyone has a link please post it to this article, which reminds me of that long ago proposal .

[The Comedian]

Make no mistake.

There is only one side in this (so far ) cold civil war who has any concept of the value of human life.

And it ain't them.

They *will* unemploy, starve, torture, imprison, and *kill* you if it seems to assist in achieving their goals. And they will sleep like babies after pulling your kid apart in front of you.

There is a reason why the Left and Islam get along so well.

They both consider the lives of those who are not actively assisting in the plots-du-jure of their respective cults to be forfeit.

Don't assume that because it drives a car and can whistle a tune that it's human.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
