It’s Not ‘Compassionate’ to Allow Addicts and the Mentally Ill to Live on the Streets

Simple solution. There is none. The solution is simply to let the liberals be compassionate and open minded and to let the rest of the country be.

First, to the homeless give them two choices. Get your act together, or go live someplace where you can be a nuisance and a bum.

To those who want a job, want a home, want to be responsible citizens, give them greyhound tickets to middle America and other economic sustainable areas. They can be paid for by churches like they do in Texas.

When they get there, they can check into a Christian mission or salvation army base that will have al-anon, a clinic maybe, a clothing deposit, hot meals and other services they can take advantage of, maybe even a van that will drop them off at Labor Ready or some other place to work and get some spending money for clothes and stuff.

They can then apply for jobs there at McDs, Wal-mart or someplace that will hire them and climb up the ladder.

TOO THE REST, THE ONES WHO ARE UNEMPLOYABLE OR DON'T GIVE A S**T, SEND THEM TO CALIFORNIA, OREGON, WASHINGTON, MAINE MICHIGAN OR MASSACHUSETTS.

They love them there, they can have them. They can sleep outside, smoke pot, have sex, do not work and let the liberal elite and the big fat government take care of them till they OD and die or god willing wake up.

Even better still, buy them a plane ticket to Europe. They love them there even more. Again, churches and private charities can foot the bill.

We save taxes, we help the needy (really truly needy) we clear the streets of riff raff and criminals, we have lower crime, lower unemployment, the nation does better.

Again, not the best solution but one that works. Like I said on another article on my blog, Greyhound therapy works. Works wonders. I know because I bought people greyhound tickets to get out of Maine and Mass and go to Kansas and Nebraska and Texas. Works wonders.

First, a light pole collapsed downtown, crushing a car and barely missing the driver. The cause? It had been corroded by urine aimed at it by street people.

BS!!! BS!! BS!! BS!! BS!! That is a big fat lie told by liberals to get more money for pet projects!!

It fell apart because of a lack of maintenence, because the money instead of going where its supposed to go, fixing infrastructure goes into the pockets of Bureaucrats!

I know this because in Portland maine when I was living there they tried that schtick and Jon Baldaccia wanted to encourage more money for the homeless (In reality more money for city hall and Augusta)and other pet projects by Democrats.

For urine to corrode a street light in that manner, it would take decades of that and no rain and it Rains in SF so there goes that.

Thought I should bring that up. Maybe I should write about it.
