POS NEWT:


"....GOP Presidential Candidate and Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Poor Children - "Here are the facts... really poor children, in really poor neighborhoods have no habits of working and have nobody around them who works so they have no habit of showing up on Monday...they have no habit of staying all day, they have no habit of I do this and you give me cash unless IT IS ILLEGAL," he added...

1. Take away jobs and safety nets and add discrimination and all you've got left is FREE MARKET.

FREE MARKET means no laws. Now that's criminal.

[aquart]

2. The free market regulates by death.

[valerief]

16. Bingo!

[RDANGELO]

3. This reeks of tribalism.

Those other people who don't know how to work for a living.

[Populist_Prole]

4. It absolutely resonates with those on the hard right

They hate everybody they don't know personally, unless they're rich.

[Segami]

5. This lard a$$ is no different than other elitists who love to claim blueblood lineage from Kings

6. his presumption is that all or almost all poverty is caused by individual irresponsibility

well some of it is. But most poverty is caused by circumstances beyond an individual's control. He seems incapable of conceiving of misfortune. Which means that when he looks at a poor person - all he is psychologically capable of seeing are people of inferior character. Thus we are back to the Calvinist notion that success is a sign of noble character and failure is a sign of poor character. It is chilling to imagine someone looking at the world that way. It answers the age old question of , "how can someone be so heartless? How can someone be so cruel?" If misfortune is entirely one's own fault - then sympathy and empathy are nothing more than naive excuse making for the lazy and irresponsible.

[Smilo]

7. Dumb

fcuk....

[DesertRat]

8. This arrogant prick mustn't be listening to the gospel readings in church

Caring for the poor is an integral part of Catholic social teaching. He should be ashamed of himself. :grr:

[olegramps]

13. How can he be a member of the Catholic Church when he is according to them living in sin?

The Catholic Church used to hold absolutely with the words of Jesus that marriage was a permanent bond. According to that teaching, which was upheld for centuries, until the new breed of pedophiles and their enablers took over their was no way out short of death. There could be no forgiveness until the person agreed to break their relationship and return to their wife or agree to live without sex. It was a tough standard. Now they grant annulments, however, someone that has been married for a number of years and have children would be facing objections. You can agree with it or not, but that was the teaching. Newt is a disgusting bastard at best. The perfect Republican candidate for president.

[DesertRat]

15. He's a recent convert to the Catholic Church

So I guess his previous marriages weren't recognized by the church.

He is a loathsome person. I hope that his parish priest sets him straight about church teachings on social justice and the poor.

9. Fuck you NG! How many rich kids fight and die for our country?

Fucking CHICKEN HAWKS are all the same. Just ALL MOUTH. That's all they got. Nothing but a big fat mouth.

You mean like looting TRILLIONS and TRILLIONS of dollars from the United States? Oh yeah, that's right. THOSE ILLEGAL thefts don't count since they were made by RICH KIDS who grew up to become bankers, stock brokers or bribed off politicians.

I bet if you added up all the illegally gotten money from poor folks and combined it all. It would only be a tiny fraction of what rich folks have gotten illegally.


:rant:

[DesertRat]

10. "How many rich kids fight and die for our country?"

Excellent point, Xicano. Of course he never served in the military. He received a deferment during Vietnam because he was studing at Tulane University.

[Xicano]

12. Thanks DesertRat..

These people (if you can call them that) are sickening aren't they..

[Segami]

17. +1000

[GiveMeFreedom]

11. Jebus!

FUCK YOU NEWT WITH A HUGE FUCK YOU !!!

[JDPriestly]

14. Unemployment of 9-20% among adults, and Gingrich is

concerned about employing children.

The man is totally irrelevant and totally unaware of what is going on in this country.

18. Where's my clue-by-four?!
