Democrats were bragging that Joe Biden sponsored the Violence Against Women act. Abuse charges are a good way to get full custody and child support, the father gets supervised visitation that he pays for, and her legal fees. One figure that will never be quoted by the democrats/liberals, abuse by boyfriends vs husbands, especially of kids. The effect of the destruction of the family helped liberals take control of the families, with men’s money.

I find it disturbing that people who are trying to deal with a real and serious problem are once again taken advantage of by those who know how to “work the system.”

There are several groups who are being victimized and abused here. First is the group who have already been victimized by an abusive spouse who are now unable to get shelter because the space is occupied by a freeloader.

Second is the people who in good faith give their time and money to make this opportunity available. Their time and money is being stolen from them.

The third group that is being hurt is the group of honest and decent people in society who are once again jaded by the realization that the users of this world abuse the honesty and generosity of others.

News like this makes those who are charitable and compassionate think twice before spending their money or time on a charitable project.

Follow the money. . .like school programs that require a 'needy student population' and so participation encouraged, so as to keep the money flowing; so too it seems that many programs are set up as chicken/egg perpetuation programs.

This is the Government's model for guaranteeing it's future. It is outrageous and 'stupid are we' for allowing it. There is no 'moral ethic' in Liberalism; and why, where genuine 'Leftism' is the underlying MO; corruption 'natually' follows; and the corrupted as well.

. . .it is the Government Enhancement model. . .'if you build a program; they will come'.

This could be a story about every government give-a-way program in existance. Socialism creates a whole society of people who learn how to play the system. We see it all the time in the food pantry and in the senior citizen centers. I know several families who are in real need, yet refuse to take “charity”. What a far cry America has come from the self-sufficient proud people who built her from the ground up. It’s embarrassing.

Once the "abused" woman is released from the shelter, she moves to the front of the line for welfare benefits, HUD housing programs, and almost everything else. If she is an illegal immigrant, a work permit is almost a sure bet.

Yet another reason to starve the beast of unlimited government and step up border enforcement.

I only need help," Runge plaintively told me

I suggest she go to her local church and her local employment agency.

Fraud, waste and abuse in a tax-payer supported, government-sanctioned program?

Unheard of! *Rolleyes*

(Good article, though.)

This is hardly new. It’s been going on for over 20 years. A whole infrastructure exists which makes its living off of “abuse”. “Abuse” is the feminist equivalent of “racism”

What a joke. Some of these quotes were lifted DIRECTLY off an FR post a month ago. So let me get this straight...

Renew America (Alan Keyes) has an article complaing about how some women’s shelters don’t ask any questions and just take the word of some of their applicants...then write an article where they don’t ask any questions and just take the word of some anonymous posters when quoting them.

Renew America is a joke, Alan Keyes is a joke and this writer is a joke. This is why many parts of the conservative movement cannot ever get off the ground...they have the standards and integrity of the same people they chastise.

["free hostel for women with emotional problems if they are willing to hate their husbands enough and are willing to take out protective orders against their husbands."]
 
Sounds like a wonderful place for Rainbow Feminazi anti-males to indoctrinate new recruits. 
 
 
Additionally, I wonder if transgendered he/shes are now allowed inside Colorado shelters, given the asexual mandate of SB200?  
 
The Rainbow slide down the moral slope has accelerated to such a pace that conservatives need jet-powered skis just to stay ahead of the avalanche.
