Sorry - way too much evidence of fraud and waste for me to feel even a twinge of sympathy for the author’s position.

Clean that up first, and we’ll talk about the truly needy.

The recent vote of House Republicans to cut $40 billion from the food stamp program reflects a deep-seated and insidious racial resentment toward Americans of color.

I suppose the only way to alleviate this situation, Ms. Cooper, is for me to apply for some of them food stamps . . . instead of working for a living.

Salon has an ugly reputation for flinging racial accusations at activist conservatives because they fear us. The real issue is not black and white, but left and right. Their agenda is always to advance the aims of the left, no matter how. This is not conjecture on my part. I have been their target in the past.

Really? The logic here evades me. Insult, bully and force white people to pay for "colored" people's food and when they cry uncle--that they can't pay anymore--call them racist.

How about "colored people" learn not to depend on the evil white man for sustenance? Then they don't need to worry about racism.

In a free society, anyone who wishes to buy food for another will not be stopped. Nor will anyone who doesn’t wish to buy food for another be coerced into doing so.

Food stamps are coerced funding of food through the unconstitutional US department of Agriculture. The food stamp program should be abolished.

What this fat bigot doesn’t mention is that this is $40 billion cut over TEN YEARS. Had she learned any math, she would know that this paltry $4 billion annual cut amounts to practically nothing, and is aimed at the rampant use of EBT cards for drugs, prostitutes and other non-food expenditures, such as casinos and shipping food to other countries where it is sold on the black market.

To me this is an admission of:

1)failure on the part of Dems/liberals to lift up the poor. All the money spent over the years on the welfare state and still, so much poverty. But, it does provide them with votes.

2)Another admission, this time from blacks, that they believe in staying on the Democrat "plantation" and feeding off the government teat, always looking to the government for their needs instead of themselves (a lot of whites do this, too).

Here's the larger problem of this article as I see it...

Her views and my views are NEVER going to agree on this subject.

Getting a free meal off of my sweat is not going to be something that I am ever going to agree with, and that sooner or later myself (and other such minded people) are going to vote people in to shut off this spicket.

When that happens people such as this author are going to be SOL, and it will be push come to shove, and let the games begin.

If we are going to use terms such as “people of color” why not simply call them colored?

I deny the author’s accusation of racism. I want to starve people of every race, sex, age and national origin. < /ludicrous level sarcasm>

Democrats understand the working poor, and they like them to remain the working poor, and they want more and more of them. If they can’t grow the ranks of the working poor from the once working successful, they will settle for the non-working poor, more and more of them, unable to rise above their plantation status.

Conservatives want to empower the working poor to become the working successful, and all races are invited to participate. Those who for whatever reasons choose not to be more than working or non working poor are left to remain on their leftist plantation.

Do “people of color” really receive more foodstamps than do whites?

If it’s racist to cut food stamps, then Salon must be admitting that blacks are the major recipients.

I guess cutting back on Obama phones is racist also.

But how come it isn’t racist to confiscate guns?

To say “an attack on food stamps is an attack on people of color” is one of the most racist things I have ever heard anyone say.
