Ode To The Welfare State- "Democrat Dialogue" 1949 poem

This is making the rounds again. I'm not sure if it is authentic or not, but it's certainly apropos considering so many EU nanny states are in dire straits, and the Democratic Party continues to try and drag us down that same road. If left-leaning Snopes seems to think it is "probably" authentic, then it probably is.

Written in response to a Harry Truman speech on November 3, 1949 and published in the Daily News, the poem apparently appeared in other newspaper publications during that time period, including the Maryland, Daily Herald, and as a letter in the L.A. Times.

TN Dad With 30 Kids Wants Help From State

Desmond Hatchett, from Tennessee, has almost as many children as his age. The 33-year-old Knoxville father of 30 kids (by 11 women) is a minimum-wage worker whose meager salary is garnished to help support his brood, but now he is begging the state to help him. Half of Hatchett's paycheck is divvied up between the moms, but because he makes so little, some of them only get about $1.49- per month. I assume at some point in time he was a deadbeat dad, if the courts are garnishing his wages, but he hasn't broken any laws by having so many children so there is nothing officials can do to prevent him from having more. Well, they can't stop him from breeding, but they can say no to his appeal for taxpayer help.

His oldest is 14 with the youngest a toddler, so he must have started at 19 and has had those 30 kids in about 14 or so years.

According to an interview in 2009 when he only had 21 and said he was "done", he explained that he "had four kids in the same year. Twice.“   What a ho!

Hatchett is the poster child for the need for sterilization education. Someone needs to tell him to tie it up.

Greek Neo-Nazi Party Leader - "There were no ovens, no gas chambers"

Granted, Greece is a humongous mess, faltering dangerously on a precipice, but how on earth does a Neo-Nazi party win 21 seats in  parliament? The extreme far right skin-head Golden Dawn party won a whopping 7% of the vote during the May 6 elections, and now the head of the Chryssi Avghi party, Nikos Michaloliakos, has joined Mahmoud Ahmadeinjad and others in denying the Holocaust ever took place. Not that it's a novel stance for a neo-Nazi, but this man (and his party) is now part of the Greek government.

“There were no ovens, no gas chambers, it’s a lie,” , the head of the Chryssi Avghi (Golden Dawn) party, said during an interview aired on the private Mega television channel on Sunday night.

“Auschwitz, what Auschwitz? I didn’t go there. What happened there? Have you been there,” he asked a reporter in the interview, adding that he had “read lots of books casting doubt on the number of six million Jews” who died in the Holocaust.

Prior to the elections, Michaloliakos apparently kept mostly mum about the extent of his Holocaust-denying beliefs, but the Greek people would have to be pretty darn stupid to not realize that neo-Nazis aren't terribly different from the original murdering Nazis.
Yes, voters were fed up with all the austerity measures their socialist nanny state was forcing them to put up with to save the country from drowning, but that's not a good reason to vote in extremists.

And it still boggles my mind that there are people who actually deny that there were gas chambers, and ovens, and that millions were killed, not only Jews, in spite of all the photographs, the witnesses and the evidence.

Good luck to the Greeks, they're going to need it.

Nancy Pelosi's Daughter Pisses Off The Left With Video About Welfare Freeloaders

Alexandra, Nancy Pelosi's documentary filmmaker daughter, filmed a piece on redneck voters in Mississippi last week that caused a stir. To be fair, she also filmed a piece on welfare freeloaders or "freeloading welfare queens" as she calls them, in New York City that has the left hopping mad- because it's okay to lambaste toothless rednecks who will vote Republican, but not okay to criticize  those who will vote for Obama “because he gives me stuff,” and “because he’s black.”
You have to give her and Bill Maher credit for having the cojones to air it on "Real Time" in spite of the fact that HBO honchos were dead set against it.

Pelosi said,

“We have to address the fact that this is why Democrats are losing ground. And this is a problem in America. The entitlement culture has gotten so big that we are losing our own people."  

Ouch. But she's absolutely right.
