Transformation of US Making Headway
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 13 Sep 2013 | John Semmens

Posted on 09/15/2013 1:05:50 PM PDT by John Semmens

Recent statistics indicating that 48 percent of births in the United States now occur below the poverty line were hailed by Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius as “evidence we are making the strides in the transformation of this country that President Obama promised.”

“Throughout human history the enjoyment of sex and parenthood has been inhibited by the reluctance to take on the responsibility of rearing children,” Sebelius announced. “These data show we are alleviating some of these inhibitions. Hopefully, there will come a day when the freedom to procreate will be totally unconstrained by any financial apprehensions.”

The possibility that a growing proportion of dependency might become an unwieldy burden didn’t faze the Secretary. “I am confident that those who are able will pick up as heavy a load as society may require of them,” she declared. “Are we not all bidden to be our brother’s keeper?”

In other words, let someone else take responsibility for your children, i.e., the state. This is progress? Yes, for socialists. FU Sebelius and all your horses,

Gawd I hate that line “Are we not bidden to be our brothers keeper?”

Barrack has bastardized the Bible, Constitution and literary phrases for his expediency.

Nice post.
