This article, Unchanged by Welfare Reform documents what can be done with Welfare reform.

MILWAUKEE — Angela Jobe, 38, is a grandmother who has lived most of her adult life at ground zero of the struggle to “end welfare as we know it.” At about the time candidate Bill Clinton was promising to do that — in autumn 1991 — she boarded a bus in Chicago, heading for Milwaukee, lured by Wisconsin’s larger benefits and lower rents. Unmarried, uneducated and unemployed, she already had three children and eight years on welfare.
Today she is in her ninth year of employment in a nursing home, earning $10.50 an hour. How she left welfare, and how her life did and did not change, is one of the entwined stories in Jason DeParle’s riveting new book, “American Dream: Three Women, Ten Kids and a Nation’s Drive to End Welfare,” the fruit of DeParle’s seven years of immersion in Jobe’s world.

A grandmother at 38 should tell you something. That both her and her child gave birth around 16 years old. That is the first thing what we must take care of, teenage pregnancy. It cites in the story that today, 70 percent of the mothers giving birth on Welfare are unmarried. That’s because Welfare (at least used to) punished women for trying to get off Welfare (by getting married or get a job) and rewarded them with more money when they had more kids.
Now this lady is off Welfare and she has a job. It’s not much, but she is now a tax producer instead of a tax consumer. She’s never going to have a $50,000 a year job, but then again since my illness I’m never going to have one again either.
There will always be a left side of the bell curve. You can’t do away with it as long as people are individuals. Turn us into ants and we might have a chance. The only thing we can do is move the curve in its entirety right, but there will always be someone on the bottom. You can’t help it.
So don’t worry about “helping” the person on the bottom of the curve. Let them earn a life with dignity and you won’t have to fret over them. Give them something like Welfare and you ruin them as far as their self-worth goes. Teach a man to fish and all that.

This article, Americans Are Tired documents what is wrong with our country.
From the evening news to Liberal Hollywood, from the UN to the homeless problem, Americans ARE tired.
This is the only point I have a contention with:

Americans are tired of hearing about the homeless or as the Liberals that print the newspapers refer to them, the less fortunate. Most of these people choose to live this way. Most are drug addicts, drunks and the like. The stories we read in the papers, (only since 2000 by they way because when there is a Democrat in office there are no homeless stories in the papers of record because there are no homeless), are written to make the public feel guilty for getting ahead in life. Things like getting up sober, going to work without doing drugs and putting in a good days work is never mentioned in the stories. We are treated to the “they live in the woods” stories each time. Why do they live in the woods, because these people do not like living by societies rules. If you go to a shelter you have to live by their rules. If you live in the woods or in an alley, in a box you can do as you please. Back in my parent’s days these people were called what they are, Bums.

While I agree that there were no homeless during Democrat administrations, that is not what I disagree with.
Many of our homeless suffer from mental illness, and turn to illegal drugs and alcohol to self-medicate. They are, for one reason or another, untreatable by the mental health system. Either their illness doesn’t allow them to seek treatment, or they won’t face the fact that they have a problem. Either way, they can’t be helped because they don’t want the help. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink the old saying goes.
But yes, us “slope headed, single brow, knuckle dragging, Conservatives and Blue Dog Democrats” are tired and one day we are going to get fed up with all of the childish whining by the Left and we are going to take back this country. The process is starting, but there are many things in the way (like the ACLU) that must be gotten rid of before we can pick up some steam.
Conservatives, arise! Take back the country and restore some common sense to the country.

Here’s more of the total BS that “global warming causes earthquakes.” Environmentalists Surf Tsunami Tragedy.
These idiotic, tree-hugging idiots will try to hang their hat on anything to “prove” what their “religion” tells them is the “truth.”
And the insurance companies are getting into it as well.

Exploitation of tragedy is a sport played not only by environmentalists. Insurer Munich Re used the event as an opportunity to renew its call for action to fight global warming, which the insurance industry has recently started to blame for natural disasters.
Concerned about large payouts for natural disaster claims, insurance companies are very eager to establish global warming (search) as a contributing factor to those disasters, so they can sue deep-pocket businesses supposedly responsible for that global warming. Efforts to invoke supposed global warming as the culprit for this week’s death and destruction are patently absurd as the multiple tsunamis were not a “weather event” in the slightest. The tsunamis were caused by an earthquake, which, by the way, is a real, not a “so-called,” natural disaster.

The truth is plain to see, unless you are filtering everything you see and hear through your “global warming” paradigm.

Earthquakes aren’t caused by the weather or greenhouse gas emissions; they’re caused by tectonics — that is naturally moving geological faults. While tectonics may cause climate changes, the reverse is not true.
Despite the fictional tsunami that hit New York in the movie “The Day After Tomorrow,” there is no realistic climate change scenario that could possibly cause a tsunami-spawning earthquake.

There you go. That’s the truth of the matter.

Environmentalists are also looking to blame economic development for the devastation wreaked by the tsunamis in hopes of slowing down progress in the third world.

Ah. So there IS an agenda behind the Environmentalists yelling and screaming. It’s been proven that technologically advanced nations are cleaner than those who aren’t advanced. In fact, did you see the headline that said “Air pollution reduced by 10% over last four years”? No you didn’t, because that would have meant that President Bush did something right, and that will not do for environmentalists and the MSM. It’s out there somewhere, I saw it but I lost the link.
Anyway, the tree-huggers would rather let the third world wallow in filth, undeveloped, dirty, disease ridden lives, because it is more “natural.” Feh. Have them visit there for a while and see what kind of lives they have. Not much.
Don’t believe that Man can affect the climate. One volcano can cause more pollution on a wider scale than 100 years of smoke stacks.
