Ha ha...priceless!
That pretty much describes a LOT of the SNAP/EBT users I see in WalMart all the time.
In my life.
BIG BUMP!!!
Libs thrive on the 7 deadly sins:
Lust - out-of-wedlock births, all kinds of sexual deviance
Gluttony - as long as “I got mine” to heck with everyone and every other ideal.
Greed - more and more taxes needed to feed the government maw, while accusing the real producers of the same sin.
Sloth - slack off, sponge, or hope to hit the lawsuit lottery
Wrath - call the opposition all kinds of names, incite racial and other hatreds.
Envy - tax the rich
Pride - gay pride, black pride, etc. (instead of work ethic and morality) and Obama’s constant “I, I, I, me, me”
A sloth can actually run 15 mph. Don’t let them fool you. So maybe “sloth” is not the best descriptor for these indolent tubs of truculent goo.
An important stop on the path to liberalism.
So...being bleak and dejected is a sin?
bump
Hey,hey,
Sloth works.
Look at the Obamadork.
Golf, anyone?
Sloth is, essentially, the desire to sit on your butt and pick lint from your navel because you’re a jaded and dejected, bleak little monkey. Sloth is the sin, according to Dorothy Sayers, “which believes nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, loves nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and only remains alive because there is nothing it will die for.”
I would also say that it goes hand in hand with the cynicism that permeates our society. The feeling that you and I can’t do anything, shouldn’t bother. Lofty cynicism gives a genteel hiding place for sloth.
Born in ‘52 when self-sufficiency was still an asset instead of an attempt to overthrow the government. Had an uncle who had some weird disease that rendered him “disabled” but never seemed to affect his ability to build a canoe from a kit, go fishing, etc. He was a true odd duck and was probably unemployable other than as a janitor, but I can assert that he was also the black sheep of the family for not doing what he could to earn some of his own money. That was a time when Blacks (Negroes) were purchasing houses and eventually became the majority in our neighborhood. The family next door revitalized their house to a very nice, if pink, looking structure and were personal friends. The family structure was strong and we were all neighbors who took care of family and earned an income. After the race riots of the ‘60s, the area became a slum and fell into disrepair - we had some of the original Black families living in the same suburban housing community that we moved into to escape the inner city - the rest went along with the rioters in deciding that hating Whitey and getting the government (which all liberals seemed to hate at the time) to take care of them. The ‘50s - ‘60s era was the fulcrum which tipped the scales to what we have today.
The left promotes and feeds on the dark side of human nature, especially envy and greed. Sloth, economic chaos and selfishness, in the name of noble ideals, are the sources of power of the totalitarians. Absolute dependence on government will grant them absolute power, and we know where that will lead.
Welfare started to become generally stigmatized in the 1950’s as it became associated with single mothers, divorced women and black women with kids but without a man in the house (primarily AFDC). Probably a lot more than today simply caught up in the wrong situation falsely stereotyped and judged as scamming the system or not doing their part to advance themselves.
What timing! Today there was a Jack Hanna program on TV where he was visiting a wildlife rescue center in Panama where they have rescued numerous baby sloths and raised them until they can live on their own in the wild. Cute little animals.
