~ “I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts.” Ronald Reagan.
Approximately 40,000 welfare, food stamp and unemployment recipients were told this month that their electronic benefit card information may have been viewed by hackers.
There’s no evidence that anyone actually suffered a loss from the electronic intrusion, but officials are wondering why the major bank that administers the cards, J.P. Morgan Chase, took nearly three months to tell them about the breach….
The breach occurred last summer in New York State between the period of July 17 and Sept. 17, 2013 and it took J. P. Morgan Chase, a major distributor of the cards three months to report the breach. The majority of EBT cardholders affected received their cards through New York State’s Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance and Department of Labor.
CINCINNATI – Ohio residents who use food stamps will see a reduction in their benefit starting January.
The $50 monthly reduction comes as a result of the way the federal government calculates utility expenses.
In the wake of last year’s warm winter and lower natural gas prices those who receive the standard utility allowance have theoretically saved money and will, therefore, receive less money for food.
However, not everyone uses natural gas to heat their home or apartment says Ben Johnson with Ohio’s Department of Job and Family Services and so some families will simply have their food allowance cut without the benefit of a lower utility bill.
‘Some people use home heating oil, some people use propane, some people use electric and we’re aware of that so those people might not see an actual decrease in their utility cost but they will see the same decrease in their benefits because of the decrease in the standard utility allowance,’ said Johnson….
NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED so what better way to repay Ohioans who are primarily responsible for sticking Americans with another four years of Obamao than to cut their food stamp benefits.
I thought Obama was going to give free stuff to his cultists not taketh away. Apparently, THAT was all hype and a lie too.
Get used to it cultists, this is only the beginning. Obama needs those funds to build his utopiaFEMA campsprisonsgulagsplantationscommunitarians intentional communities. After all, per Obamao, it is for the greater good.
To those cultists who during the election were stupid enough to donate their wedding and birthday presents while denying their families a meal for the benefit of Barack Mugabe Hussein Obamao, tell me that you did not see this coming.
Obama puppets did not see this moment coming because Obamao and his elitist band of Marxists bamboozled “useful idiots” into believing that Obama was all about giving them free stuff and Mitt Romney was all about taking it away.
Teachable moment: There are no free rides. I know, I know, it’s not Obama’s fault. He couldn’t help it.
In any event, I am sure the malignant narcissist thanks you for your vote, your money and your sacrifice (my tax dollars).
Last week Congressman Allen West visited Temecula, CA to make a speech, which is sure to go down in history as Congressman Allen West’s “Field of Dreams” speech. Besides exposing the tyranny of an administration inebriated by its own power, West speech inspires Americans to vote November 6 taking a stand against big government, tyranny, i.e., a Godless administration intent on destroying that that took 236 years to build.
EXCERPT:
(10:31) ….Will we be the first generation that does not allow the subsequent generations to step up to the plate with bat in hand and knock it out of the park. Not on my watch either….
…Ladies and gentlemen, your mission is very simple. Your mission is to make sure that home plate is dusted off for the next generation….
…These are the times that try men’s souls. When the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will in this crisis shriek from their duties but to those who will make a stand they will gain the love, admiration of all men and women.
The question that you have to ask yourselves between now and the 6th of November and continuing on when you look at yourselves in the mirror, was I a summer solder? Was I a sunshine patriot? Or did I make a stand to gain the admiration of subsequent generations so that when the history books write the history books will say on the 6th of November in 2012, the American people once again remembered what the land of dreams was about….
What an inspiration. America needs more politicians like Congressman West, who gets it. This is one of the most powerful and patriotic speeches that I have heard.
Congressman West is a patriot, hero and a true leader.
Congressman Allen West is one of the most explosive soldiers We The People have on the battlefield of conservatism. He is teaching so many, in so many ways, about the intrusive nature of Big Government and what We The People have to lose. Today, he is asking you, YES YOU, are you willing to be a watchman on the walls of America by voting out those who have savaged this great Republic! God Bless America
‘He concluded on a historical note: ‘The question that you have to ask yourself, between now and the 6th of November and continuing on, when you look at yourself in the mirror, ‘Was I a summer soldier? Was I a sunshine patriot?’….
“Carolyn Goodman may be the only mayor in the United States on food stamps, but it’s only temporary. Goodman is taking part in a local food bank’s challenge to live on $4.06 per day– the amount a single person who qualifies for food stamps receives.”
Good for Goodman, but with the USA fast approaching a $16 trillion debt, how about ALL politicians giving up their perks and cadillac insurance plans? Now that would be sacrifice.
“…The Texas congresswoman’s comments came in response to a question about remarks she made on the House floor Wednesday, when she said there are ‘candidates like Newt Gingrich who want to throw fuel and matches and fire to develop sort of an explosiveness in this country’ and there are ‘underlying suggestions’ to calling Obama the “food stamp president.’….
…To say children in New York should ‘pick up a broom and work…is a code word to, if you will, portray poor children and poor school districts that they have seen no one work legitimately,’ she said. ‘That they don‘t have a work ethic and these janitors are overpaid unionized workers who don’t have family and are not making $37,000 a year…”
That is an increase of 15,382,932 people collecting food stamps under the Obama administration.

Hence, Obama owns the title, Food Stamp King lock, stock and barrel.
As far as children earning money picking up a broom or doing janitorial work, what the hell is wrong with that?
Lee’s generation, which happens to be my own, was taught by our parents from early on that you have to start somewhere and that there is nothing wrong with hard work, as long as it is honest.
My mother’s exact words, which I have repeated to my children on numerous occasions, were “you have to crawl before you walk.”
We were told that you do what you have to do even if it meant cleaning the streets or working as a janitor.
Lee makes it sound as if America’s youth are too damned good to work as janitors but just right to spend a lifetime government dependent.
Being a janitor is hard work and it is honest work. Lee should not be so damned condescending to Black America and insolent towards janitors.
Her words expose her as a snobbish heffa, a B.S. artist and a liar better yet a house slave guilty of plantation politics. The rhetoric as espoused by Lee is for the sole purpose of keeping Black America dumbed down, in poverty and slaves to government.
Lee’s message, very much in line Nancy Pelosi’s “you don’t have to work” message is about making young Americans lazy and government dependent. To hear Progressives tell it, it is better to collect a government check than to take a job as a janitor.
While we are on the subject, allow me to point out the correct title for a janitor employed in NYC schools is “Custodian” or “Custodian Engineer.”
Gingrich suggestion of NYC students working as part-time custodians makes perfect sense.
While working as a part-time custodian, the student would earn credits and work experience towards a full-time custodial position upon graduation from high school should they decide not to attend college.
Choosing to deceive, this Progressive witch fails to reveal that custodians employed in NYC schools are unionized and when it comes to choosing a side, Lee has chosen the side of labor unions over providing American teenagers an employment opportunity.
Shame on Sheila Jackson Lee and sorry if I have offended anyone except Progressives. Hmmmmmm, there I feel much better.
Casting aside God’s word, the Obama administration has apparently decreed that Sunday church is for political campaigning, deriding the GOP, dividing the country and getting re-elected. Even more repulsive is that his supporters have no objection to such irreverence.
“One day before Martin Luther King Day, Senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett spoke at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia.
Her appearance was notable for a number of reasons. To begin with, King was a preacher at the church, so the timing of the address, during which she praised the civil rights leader for paving the way for Obama’s historic presidency, was appropriate.
But of additional interest was Jarrett’s politically-charged speech, which, according to the Weekly Standard, she delivered to the church’s congregants just before the house of worship hosted a voter registration drive. Rather than dancing around the political nature of her position to deliver a sermon or a message rooted purely in Biblical nature, she took the opportunity to lambaste Republicans.
‘Teachers, and firefighters, and policemen, whose jobs are now in jeopardy because Congress — well let me be specific — because the Republicans in Congress,’ she said….
…Additionally, the church’s pastor, Raphael Warnock, lambasted Republican Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich during his sermon. Warnock took particular issue with comments that the presidential contender made about food stamps and the African American community.
‘He is playing an old game that’s part of the southern strategy…I think he’s relying on old logic of scapegoating and race baiting,’ he said.”
“Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.” Romans 16:17-18
Are moonbats so enamored with Barack Obama, a false prophet that they willingly accept deceptive rhetoric espoused by Progressives, in this case, Jarrett…in God’s House?
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15
After services, the church then went on to hold a voter registration drive. Where is the IRS when you need them?
Pursuant to the accusations of Newt Gingrich “scapegoating and race baiting”, I must beg to differ. Progressives own “scapegoating and race baiting” hands down.
That is an increase of 15,382,932 people collecting food stamps under the Obama administration. Hence, Obama owns the title, Food Stamp King lock, stock and barrel.
Moving on, the separation of church and state apparently does not apply to Progressives nor do the hypocrisy and profanity that surrounds them.
Even more disconcerting is the willingness of Black America to follow Obama back down the road to serfdom but I will reserve that dialogue for another post.
