A Lesson in Irony
Friday, November 23, 2012 at 06:12AM The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing this year the greatest amount of free Meals and Food Stamps ever, to 46 million people.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us "Please Do Not Feed the Animals." Their stated reason for the policy is because "The animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves."
Thus ends today's lesson in irony.

all Jim Splaine's stuff asap.
Work for Welfare! Oh wait we had that but President Barry Soetoro decided this was too onerous and racist so he gave the States waivers from this requirement!

The United States can easily feed all the hungry here and the rest of the world where starvation/hunger is real and not a political weapon.
Its buying votes with food stamps that gets expensive.
Democrats have been luring minority voters toward food stamps instead of jobs, so the result is what we have now - 1 in 5.
Congrats, liberals! Soon, the poor will have to pay for part of their own welfare.
And Bob -- Work For Welfare is still the rule of the program, but there aren't so many jobs available nowadays, if you haven't noticed. So, if we can't put someone "to work," what do we do? Deny assistance? Fortunately, we don't do that in America. The concept of "freedom" doesn't mean to die in the streets if you have no job.
So, back to my question (and if they get all my "stuff" it ain't much because I don't have much), what's your solution to hunger in America? Thank goodness we have the Food Stamp Program. While others would like to have us return to the 1930s, we're better than that.
You support non-resident voting which makes all your liberal hot air arguments irrelevant.
Not cool Jim, Woodstock is over.
Who are YOU to decide they don't "live" here? To "live" here do they have to, in your criteria, have to pay a Head & Poll Tax -- we did away with that decades ago? Right now, they have to fill out a statement verifying that they "live" here, and that they're only voting here. Are YOU going to expect we'll empower you to go to the place they say they "live" to verify that? Of course, you can do that I guess -- be careful of the stocking laws, though. And if you have any question, you should go to the N.H. Attorney General's Office -- empowered by law to check into voting fraud.
So, Ed -- I support Americans voting. If you're here, you're here -- and it isn't up to you, or me, to take the right of voting (as provided for in the N.H. and U.S. Constitutions) away from anyone.
And I think we saw in New Hampshire and nationwide that the hot air arguments of some people have been soundly rejected.
Actually I do decide who "lives" here. I have rights as well.
Here is how sad it is for the Democrats to use college kids:
When you trick kids into voting here they are still bound by other states laws, sorry to say.
So keeping that out of state drivers licence and voting here may peak the interest of their local and state officials.
I guess we will find out because I will be posting their names on the internet and just like the Deerfield non-resident voters they will probably email asking me to stop because it is one of the first things to pop up when they Google their names.
Clever, eh?
That someone happens to have an out-of-state ID, license, car registration, or family but they decide to vote here and only here and have declared residency in New Hampshire is NOT fraud. It's not illegal. It is their right, just as you have a right to reside where you do. Our New Hampshire and U.S. Constitutions give them that right.
Thank God for the United States of America.
So uncool Jim.
No one "just happens" to have a drivers licence from another state. You have to be a resident of that state to have one - and a valid street address. Other states don't have same day drivers license givaways where you get a license and decide you don't want it the next day - but keep it. That would be something a NH judge would find attractive , if that person voted Democrat.
You see, other states actually have laws written in English that some AGs take seriously.
Nothing you have to worry about though, you tricked college students, not known for being all that forward thinking, into voting here to win this election, congrats.
Now they will be exposed to their home state. You can play word games, I can play "Pin The Tail On The Foolish Voter."And as several have done in the past, call me to ask if I will stop posting their name.
Maybe the NHLWV can help these kids out.
This reminds me of how liberals use women and people on SS.
There are a lot of independent thinkers in the world, Ed. People who might not watch Faux News or fall for the "birther" diatribe. People who see that "Forward," the theme of President Obama and the Democrats this year, means more to them and is more relevant to their lives than the message of returning to the 1940s and 1950s that Republican right-wingers chose.
And by the way, if I choose to live in another state -- and vote there -- my New Hampshire driver's license would still be good for the five-year span for which it is issued. States recognize one another's driver's licenses. Yet another of your myths bites the dust.
Thank God for the United States of America. It protects us from abuse from our abusers.
– C. dog backtracking to his lair for a nip of freedom
It appears Stacie Marie Laughton got USED big time by you fellas
Now Raybo The Bully wants her out?????
There is no shame in winning, right?
As I predicted (before you deleted my post), a clean sweep for democrats and now the Republican party is an unmitigated disaster. Keep fighting the good fight though! It is people like you, Mr Naile, that keep driving the wedge through the party and keep it divided. Well done! Saul Alinsky would be proud of your good work!
Once the bill comes due on the Dumbocrats' impending spending spree, it'll be time for the grown-ups to return and tell the kids they can't afford their toys and lofty ideals. Better yet, they should sit the next one out and let the playpen go bankrupt.

One truism that will always hold is that liberal Democrats always poop in the soup.
I don't remember deleting anything worth reading, so no harm except to feelings most liberals operate by.
Spend away moonbats!
