So right, words mean things, the good news is everyone understands AMNESTY.

[sirchtruth]

Uninformed and unthinking Americans fall easy prey to this demagoguery.

Unthinking? We're are such a productive nation, but have been taught to NOT think, it's all provided for you.

You know, sometimes I think WW takes the long walk around the block to reach his neighbors house when just cutting thru the yard would get him there faster, but in that trip he shows how clever he is in choosing that long route. He’s fun to read, and I always learn something new from the man.

“Affordable housing” is one of my favorites. It is “affordable” because someone else is paying for it.

” That’s because, since there’s no Santa Claus or Tooth Fairy, in order for government to give one American a dollar, it must, through intimidation, threats and coercion, confiscate that dollar from some other American.”

That might be true, if there were no printing presses.

Before Bush, Republicans were known as Fiscal Conservatives and Law and Order people.....Bush’s spending and wrist slapping of Sandy Burglar and othet Clintonoids and now AMNESTY for all these ILLEGAL aliens have put the stake in the heart of both of those.

In our old neighborhood, several houses were taken over by the city and rented out to people unable to get housing otherwise. A really horrid woman with children she did NOT take care of, got a rental two doors down from us and she paid $4 monthly for the house. Of course she was able bodied and capable of work, but she never worked. She had all sorts of benefits and advantages over working homeowners and those kids were pitiful. One boy used to come over and ask for food. He was sad and she was awful to him. I will never forget them. Of course the neighborhood went straight to h^%$$. The point is, on my own I would do anything for that kid and (if I had a choice) I would not do one thing for his awful ‘mother’.

[3AngelaD]

If the kid was asking for food on a regular basis, not just trolling occasionally for chocolate chip cookies, that indicates child neglect and you should have called social services.

Housing for people like that should be provided next door to whoever is running the "affordable housing" program.

[andy58-in-nh]

A right, such as a right to free speech, imposes no obligation on another, except that of non-interference. The so-called right to health care, food or housing, whether a person can afford it or not, is something entirely different. It does impose an obligation on another.

A breath of fresh air from the brilliant Doctor Williams.

The next time one of your liberal friends tells you that health care is a "right", please remind them that a thing is not a right if it must be provided forcibly at another person's expense. One person's need does not constitute a claim on someone else's rights.

[SMARTY]

“Housing for people like that should be provided next door to whoever is running the “affordable housing” program.”

TOOOO TRUE!!!

[djf]

It’s still true in a roundabout way. As they print more and more dollars, the dollars people already have are worth less and less...

confiscation by inflation.
