For Real?!

Sharon in her Section 8 home!

Sharon Jasper has spent 57 of her 58 years dedicated to one cause and one cause only, and has nothing to show for her dedicated servitude...

She has lived in Section 8 housing all but 1 of her 58 years.. It was a legacy passed down from her parents who moved into Section 8 housing in 1949 when she was six months old. She has passed the legacy down to her children, but fears they may have to get jobs to pay for the utilities and deposits.

She laments about her one year hiatus from the comfort of her Section 8 nirvana, ' I tried it for a year -- you know, working and all. It's not anything I would want to go through again, or wish on anyone in my family, but I am damn proud of that year..'

Sharon was moved out of her St. Bernard housing project after hurricane Katrina and into a new, yet albeit, substandard quarterage. As can be noted from the above photo of her new Section 8 home, it is repugnant and not suitable for someone of Sharon Jasper's seniority status in the system. 'Don't be fooled by them hardwood floors,' says Sharon . 'They told me they were putting in scraped wood floors cause it was more expensive and elegant, but I am not a fool -- that was just a way to make me take scratched up wood because I am black. The 60 inch HD TV? It may look nice but it is not plasma. It's not a plasma because I'm black. Now they want me to pay a deposit and utilities on this dump. 'Do you know why?'

She has held her tongue in silence through the years of abuse by the system, but it came to a head at the New Orleans ' city council meeting where discussions were under way about the tearing down of the St. Bernard projects. When a near riotous exchange between groups opposing the tearing down of St. Bernard and groups wanting the dilapidated buildings torn down and newer ones built, Sharon unleashed verbal hell with her once silenced tongue. The object of her oratory prowess was an acquiescent poor white boy in attendance. The context of her scathing rebuke was, 'Just because you pay for my house, my car, my big screen and my food, I will not be treated like a slave!' and 'Back up and Shut up! Shut up, white boy! Shut up, white boy!'

Recapping from the mental log of the city council minutes in her head, Sharon repines, 'Our families have been displaced all over the United States. They are being forced to commit crimes in cities they are unfamiliar with It is a very uncomfortable situation for them Bring them back, then let's talk about redevelopment.'

Sharon directs the reporter's attention across the street to Duncan Plaza where homeless people are living in tents and states that, 'I might do better out there with one of these tents.' She further lamented her sentiments about her situation, 'I might be poor, but I don't have to live poor.'

Any wonder why this country is in the shape it is? Maybe we should all just chip in and get her the plasma TV she so richly deserves!

Remember to pay your taxes - Sharon needs your help

Spread the wealth!

This is from an e-mail I received from some friends. There's a picture that go's with it but I didn't see the need to post that, other than to get peoples blood REALLY boiling.

Does anyone know if this is legitimate?

This stuff goes on ALL THE TIME.

I’m not kidding you.

I don’t know if this particular story is true but even if it isn’t there are OTHERS that are worse.

I forget what city is was ... maybe Detroit where HOMELESS people lined up for FREE HOUSING! It was “Obama money” that funded it. In other words, YOU and I, funded it through WORKING and paying TAXES.

A classic example of an American leechf*#k.

Such people are a disgrace to the human race.

It's a spoof with some elements of truth thrown in. See:

Satire based on reality according to Snopes. The picture is real.

The “Great Society” is a huge liberal success.
It has destroyed the black family.
And produced a generation of criminals, illiterates, and welfare “clients”.

Here’s the one I am talking about:

Detroit’s Model Citizens Line Up for Money from Obama’s “Stash”
October 8, 2009

Listen To It! WMP | RealPlayer

Audio clips available for Rush 24/7 members only — Join Now!

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Cobo Hall, Detroit. Listen to this. Now, we had audio out of there yesterday. We’re going to repeat that. We got new audio today from Ken Rogulski of our affiliate there, WJR. Detroit Free Press: “’Cobo a Scene of Desperation’ — Social service agencies are bracing for more troubles. The economic tsunami washing over metro Detroit swept its casualties to the doors of Cobo Center on Wednesday in the form of 35,000 people so desperate for help with mortgage and utility bills that threats were made, fights broke out and people were nearly trampled.” This is Obama’s America. This is what happens with socialism. You think these are long lines now, these brainwashed kids in that song on CNN talk about the long lines that are out there, you people haven’t seen long lines at the emergency room until Obamacare gets implemented.

“Some were treated by emergency medical workers on site,” as they showed up to pick up Obama money. “It was one of the most dramatic signs to date of how deeply joblessness and the home foreclosure crisis have pushed people from the lower and middle ends of the economic scale to seek help wherever they can. City officials said a total of about 65,000 people over the past few days have gotten applications — due next Wednesday — for a share of $15.2 million in federal stimulus money to help people avoid foreclosure or quickly rebound from homelessness.” But get this. “Ultimately, as few as 3,500 people may receive the help.” They think they got riots now, 3,500 people out of 65,000 filling out applications for this? Let’s go to audio sound bites, this week here’s a portion of Ken Rogulski reporting on WJR in Michigan, two people here in line for Obama cash.

ROGULSKI: Why are you here?

WOMAN #1: To get some money.

ROGULSKI: What kind of money?

WOMAN #1: Obama money.

ROGULSKI: Where’s it coming from?

WOMAN #1: Obama.

ROGULSKI: And where did Obama get it?

WOMAN #1: I don’t know, his stash. I don’t know. (laughter) I don’t know where he got it from, but he givin’ it to us, to help us.

WOMAN #2: And we love him.

WOMAN #1: We love him. That’s why we voted for him!

WOMEN: (chanting) Obama! Obama! Obama! (laughing)

RUSH: Now, yes, I think it’s fine to laugh. I think it’s frankly fine to laugh. (laughing) It’s freaking sad. Obama giving us money from his stash, that’s why we love him, Barack Hussein Obama, mmm, mmm, mmm. Here’s the report from yesterday, just to refresh your memory.

ROGULSKI: Did you get an application to fill out yet?

WOMAN: I sure did. And I filled it out, and I am waiting to see what the results are going to be.

ROGULSKI: Will you know today how much money you’re getting?

WOMAN: No, I won’t, but I’m waiting for a phone call.

ROGULSKI: Where’s the money coming from?

WOMAN: I believe it’s coming from the City of Detroit or the state.

ROGULSKI: Where did they get it from?

WOMAN: Some funds that was forgiven (sic) by Obama.

ROGULSKI: And where did Obama get the funds?

WOMAN: Obama getting the funds from... Ummm, I have no idea, to tell you the truth. He’s the president.

ROGULSKI: In downtown Detroit, Ken Rogulski, WJR News.

If this is satire, there is ring of truth in it.

“Squatters Rights” is the next BIG civil right to be mandated by the Obama Supreme Court on a 5/4 decision basis. Then it won’t be long until Section 8 clients will get title to their own home, and let other taxpayers pay higher property taxes while those who choose not to work think of even more benefits to demand from the great BO Plenty.

There is no link or attribution to that. How do you know someone didn’t just make it up. I believe there are people in situations like this, the way this is presented, there is no way to confirm or deny.

Indeed!

Those that voted for Johnson are now ADDICTED to GOVERNMENT. GOVERNMENT has destroyed their families and lives and they keep voting for more. Losers vote for this stuff. They just refuse to GET IT! It’s like a DRUG to them.
