Anyone else have a link to Free Republic's charity drive?
Are the patriotic "good Christians" raising money to feed the hungry? Help the widows and orphans? Benefit homeless veterans?

Speaks volumes. If private charity can replace government aid, where are they?

3. Freepers don't give, like Reagan.
I remember during the 1980 campaign Reagan was very reluctant to make his tax records known. When they finally came out it showed that Reagan had never given any money to charity! His cock-and-bull story was that "He gave of his time and talent." Hypocritical bastards.

7. Yeah, the keyboard commandos
are busy saving America.

I think any person who has a soft place in their heart, however small, is quickly shown the door.

5. This is what they think of "the hungry"
"Ummm, don’t these “poor people” get food stamps?"

"This
“Ummm, don’t these “poor people” get food stamps?”
Why yes yes they do
One wonders what the parent spends the food stamp money on? Ding dongs and full sugar soda?
And keep in mind if there is a child under 5 in the family that child and the mother also get WIC

"I call BS on so many children/ people going hungry. IF they are it is their choice"

When do parents have to feed their own kids? A box of cereal and peanut butter and jelly is too much to ask parents to do?

I think parents who neglect their duty to their children should lose them. Public government schools have no authority to force others to pay for parents who cant or wont do what they should.

Instead we pay twice for this. Parents get food stamps and sell them, knowing that food stamps wont buy drugs and goodies like a Cadillac or big screen TV. They know the schools will feed their kids for them, so its easy to work the system. And they do it very well."

8. This doesn't make sense
"I think parents who neglect their duty to their children should lose them."

And when they are taken away, where are these children going to go? There's tons of kids waiting to be adopted right now -- waiting in government-run homes! I guess only those with money should have children.

6. Some day very soon, the SPLC will designate them a hate group.
And then, we can relegate them to the bottom of the slag heap where they belong.
