Let Them Eat Chalk!

Mr. Bumble's philosophy in "Oliver Twist" is to keep the boys and girls in the workhouse hungry. He thinks they work more efficiently on empty stomachs.

Congresswoman Virginia Foxx's philosophy is that the School Lunch Program is a shocking expenditure and has no place in America. Yesterday Foxx was one of only 13 Republican members of the U.S. Congress to vote against H Res 362. Foxx was alone even among the North Carolina Republican delegation. Patrick McHenry voted for the resolution. Sue Myrick voted for the resolution. Every Republican voted for it except Foxx and her dozen fellow Mr. Bumbles.

Foxx's ideology has no heart, just as corporations have no birth certificate.

Nothing surprises me with this crazy person. She needs to be put out to pasture!

Liberal POV said...

Think of the characters, Ms Foxx, Senator Bunning, Dick Cheney, Rush, O'Reilly, and opportunist Palin.
Dickens couldn't have written such characters to show the greed of our time. History will not be kind to these people and their grandchildren will be ashamed to claim them.

Nice thoughts, Lib POV. But grandkids will first inherit millions of dollars. That might sway history to the kind scale, but just until the money runs out. Greed may be hereditary.

PS: How' "the right side/" I became so bored by those a-holes: n ot worth arguing. They will give you no points; they are always right and you are wrong. I got too angry dealing with the tea baggers who rewrote their own history. You still there/

It's a strange crowd over there, they have started censorship of the hard questions like what is the tea party plan to fix anything.

"...On a hunch, I decided to look up the word sociopath, which it turns out isn't defined much differently than psychopath. Here are some of the most common characteristics of both:

What's next? Foxx entering a Puppy tossing contest or a Kitten Jugging Act?

Just Sayin',

It's a great article.  My only problem with it is the selective defining of the word "sociopath".  The extensive definition the author provides ignores the basic definition of the word, in order to fit the author's description of the politicians he discusses.

Lib POV: They don't get their disconnect. On one hand they will not allow one dollar of their money going to feed local HUNGRY impoverished children in school. In the next breath, they discuss their faith in Jesus. Didn't Jesus feed the poor? I thought I read that somewhere.

Are you still on that site giving them a hard time? If so, give them hell for me!

What would Jesus think of Mrs. Foxx? She needs to read Mathew 25:35.

I get depressed when I spend much time there.

Bridle: Thanks for making me USE my Bible. YES, THAT's what Jusus would say.
Mathew 25:41
