LOL. And that’s one thing I like about Free Republic, and about conservative websites in general. There’s lots of gentle humor.
If this were a liberal website, there’d be 150 comments about how panhandlers exist only because Republicans have ruined the economy. About half of those comments would be vulgar. And none of them wold be humorous. Those guys are deadly serious. Much like Lenin was.
Ha. That’s actually what my father said he would say to panhandlers in Chicago in the early 50’s.
