But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Not a damn one of them with enough drive or intelligence to make something of themselves with their own sweat and hard work.
Liberalism Is The Philosophy Of The Stupid

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years.  The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Think of the resources that could be used for the good of mankind if the DUmpmonkeys would take a dirt nap.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

edit to say: tried education and it's tough working within establish structure. I never felt that I was free to help the kids that really needed it. A farm with kids would be ideal...

No DUmmy would or could put in the amount of work demanded of a farmer.
But of course, this is a democrat DUmmy, so he's talking about a hydroponic marijuana operation.

3. I put environment, but education is a biggie too...
 In fact, we need RE-Education...how to grow food in urban gardens, how to make things from scratch, how to help one another. C
So in essence, I would go into developing Cooperative Community plans that integrate many of our social needs...

how's THAT!?

(ps, actually, it IS what I am deciding to do with my business model ...working on some new angles, I'll let you guys know how it unfolds)

did you see that story from California? A guy accidently hurt his hand while building a bomb, at a licensed day care which doubled as an illegal pot farm.

Ah crap. I didn't get a MegaMillions ticket. It might have been THE night too. The jackpot is like $170M, after taxes and lump sum thats about $277 and change. I would definitely splurge.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong... but if money were no longer an issue, wouldn't his dream of helping "economically disadvantaged students" be a non-issue, because there would be no "economically disadvantaged" people...?
Where'd I go wrong? /sarc

That has already happened. They got their money from Obama's stash.
