She is very mannish looking. This is from Feb 2012 I wonder if there have been any changes. The whole thing just screams out “scam” to me.
But not her of course. Because it’s not her problem...she just had the kids...someone else i.e. taxpayers should pay for them. C’mon folks, it’s time to stop the insanity. Any applicant for welfare should agree to sterilization. Any male found not supporting his children should be castrated/sterilized. If not, this insanity will still be around one hundred years hence.
Unbelievable. This female has a mental capacity only slightly better than the obamaphone lady. Talk about the entitlement mentality!
This guy in jail fathered 10. Where is/are the others? Why are no fingers pointing to them?
The world’s foremost expert on ceilings speaks.
Wow.
Those poor kids are off to a miserable start. In this case it really will take a village.
Pa was shaking his head. “We’re going to have a hard winter,” he said, not liking the prospect.
“Why, how do you know?” Laura asked in surprise.
“The colder the winter will be, the thicker the muskrats build the walls of their houses, “ Pa told her.
“I never saw a heavier-built muskrat’s house than that one.”
Laura looked at it again. It was very solid and big. But the sun was blazing, burning on her shoulders through the faded, thin, calico and the hot wind was blowing, and stronger than the damp-mud smell of the slough was the ripening smell of grasses parching in the heat. Laura could hardly think of ice and snow and cruel cold.
“Pa, how can the muskrats know?” she asked.
“I don’t know how they know,” Pa said. “But they do. God tells them, somehow, I suppose.”
“The why doesn’t God tell us?” Laura wanted to know. “Because,” said Pa, “we’re not animals. We’re humans, and like it says in the Declaration of Independence, God created us free. That means we got to take care of ourselves.” Laura said faintly, “I thought God takes care of us.”
“He does,” Pa said, “so far as we do what’s right. And He gives us a conscience and brains to know what’s right. But He leaves it to us to do as we please. That’s the difference between us and everything else in creation.”
“Can’t muskrats do what they please?” Laura asked, amazed.
“No,” said Pa. “I don’t know why they can’t but you can see they can’t. Look at that muskrat house. Muskrats have to build that kind of house. They always have and they always will. It’s plain they can’t build any other kind. But folks build all kinds of houses. A man can build any kind of house he can think of. So if his house don’t keep out the weather, that’s his look-out; he’s free and independent.”
Pa stood thinking for a minute, then he jerked his head. “Come along, little Half-Pint. We better make hay while the sun shines.”

It’s amazing how far the thinking in our country has descended as we have moved further and further from belief and knowledge of the Bible. Now, people would rather be slaves than free and independent, would rather be told what to do and "taken care of" by someone else, would rather forcibly take money from others via the government rather than provide themselves. It used to be only criminals thought that way, now entire large portions of our population think it’s ok. People in Laura Ingalls day would have been mortified and ashamed to say such things.
It’s old.
Someone needs her knees sewn together.
