The new breadwinner in the Family..

 

The new breadwinner in the  Family... An  Emergency room physician told me that a woman in  Her late 20's came to the ER today with her  8thpregnancy.     She told  The first doctor she saw: "My Mama told me that  I am the  Breadwinner for the family." He asked  Her to explain. She said that she can make  Babies, and babies get money from the State for  The family. It goes like this:     The Grandma calls the Department of Child &  Family Services, and states that the unemployed  Daughter is not capable of caring for all of her  Kids.     DCFS agrees, and tells her the Children will need  To go into foster care. The Grandma then  Volunteers to be the foster  Parent, and receives a check for  $1500 per child each month in  Illinois .     Total yearly income: $144,000  Tax-free and nobody  Has to go to work!     In  Fact, they get more if there is  No  Husband/father/man in the home!     Not  To mention free healthcare (Medicaid), plus a  Monthly card entitling them to free groceries  And a voucher for 250 free Obamaphone minutes  Each month. This does not include WIC and other  Welfare benefits...that they are "entitled" to.     Indeed, Grandma Was correct that her fertile daughter is the  "breadwinner" for the family.  This is how the liberal  Politicians spend our tax dollars. When this Generous program was invented in the '60s, the  Great Society architects forgot to craft  An end date... And now we are hopelessly  Overrun with people who vote only for those who  Will continue to keep them on the dole....     No wonder our country is broke!   Worse, the Muslims have been paying attention, and by mandating that each Muslim family have eleven children, they will soon replace the voting bloc above and can be running this country within 25 years. Read the above again, until it sinks in, and then ask yourself if your Children, Grandchildren, and Great Grandchildren will survive these severe changes to America !!!     Are You alarmed yet?  Is anybody listening?

American Qualifications For Leadership. (The Fruit of Democratic Socialism)

American Qualifications For Leadership

 

By: William P Frasca

 

Have we as a Nation finally accepted stupidity, idiocies and incompetence identifying our elected and appointed government officials, who are making decisions on our quality of life? Are we accepting reduced intellectual competence instead of the unbelievable capabilities of wisdom initiated and administered by our forefathers?

 

Have we accepted these imbecilic morons free rein in humiliating our beloved Country without protest or outrage?

 

Let’s look at a few documented facts concerning these illogical senseless acts of foolish insanity, by our so-called leaders of the free world?

 

At any given day, at any given tine, at any airport in The United States, there’s accepted justification to strip search a baby in diapers, young adolescent child being held in their parent’s arms or an eighty year old woman being wheeled in a wheelchair being subjected to this unbearable humiliations by the T.S.A. While a woman in a burka or hijis is only searched from the neck and head. Then you definitely know imbecilic stupidity and arrogance are qualifications for leadership within our Nation.

 

A Country where parents have to give written permission for their child to go on a field trip, or to have an aspirin at school? Yet their child is not authorized to notify them or obtain their permission for an abortion. Rights as a parent of an under age child is completely undermined by a Board of Education and our Government. Then you definitely know imbecilic stupidity and arrogance are qualifications for leadership within our Nation.

 

A female teacher can become a sexual predator to one of her male students, eventually having sexual intercourse. When the secret is revealed and found guilty her punishment doesn’t come close to her male teacher counterpart, committing the same sick warped infraction because it is assumed the male student was elated to accept her sexual advances because of-course he's a young man. Then you definitely know imbecilic stupidity and arrogance are qualifications for leadership within our Nation.

 

No identification needed to vote, or to submit proper documentation to prove you are here legally in the United Sates. Why? Because it’s against the unwritten law of political correctness or called racist. Yet you must show a license in diving a car, proof of age to buy liquor or going to the movies, opening up a checking account, credit card, traveling on a plane, cashing a check, renting a video, checking a book out of the library. Then you definitely know imbecilic stupidity and arrogance are qualifications for leadership within our Nation.

 

Where a seven year old boy is suspended for using his index finger and thumb mimicking a gun or the government imposes illogical gun control on law abiding citizens. Yet they gave away to an unstable Egyptian Muslin brotherhood controlled government twenty F-16 fighter jets. Then you definitely know imbecilic stupidity and arrogance are qualifications for leadership within our Nation.

 

A student being suspended for wearing the American flag or showing their support for our troops are considered offensive in certain school district, but an illegal alien, receiving free American taxpayer education can wave and wear their Country’s flag and turn ours upside down in the name of political correctness and tolerance. Then you definitely know imbecilic stupidity and arrogance are qualifications for leadership within our Nation.

 

When the Mayor of New York wants to outlaw the Big Gulp soda’s claiming it’s hazardous to your health, while making you obese. Yet an individual can legally purchase two or more twelve once drinks separately, consuming them in one sitting, comprised of the same identical ingredients as the Big Gulp. Then you definitely know imbecilic stupidity and arrogance are qualifications for leadership within our Nation.

 

When a government truly believes it can reduce the deficit and our outrageous debt by spending more. Then you definitely know imbecilic stupidity and arrogance are qualifications for leadership within our Nation.

 

When illegal aliens, disobeying and totally disregarding our immigration laws have more rights, privileges and respect than each and every American citizen including our brave military personnel? Then you definitely know imbecilic stupidity and arrogance are qualifications for leadership within our Nation.

 

A nation where you can get arrested for driving a car without a license, but no punishment but potential reward of amnesty for undocumented illegal aliens entering and, staying. Then you definitely know imbecilic stupidity and arrogance are qualifications for leadership within our Nation.

 

The only perks for working hard is the privilege of subsidizing entitlements to all those who never contributed or gave back anything to our society. Then you definitely know imbecilic stupidity and arrogance are qualifications for leadership within our Nation.

 

When a public appointed official, Susan Rice, can go on National television while lying and fabricating situations relating to our brutally murdered ambassador and three other brave Americans at our Benghazi Embassy? She was given no reprimands or punishments, but a promotion. Then you definitely know imbecilic stupidity and arrogance are qualifications for leadership within our Nation.

 

When former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced under oath, “What difference Does it Make” referring to the four murders at our Benghazi Embassy, disgracefully resigns, and has a strong possibility of being the next President of the United States. Then you definitely know imbecilic stupidity and arrogance are qualifications for leadership within our Nation.

 

When the former Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi states “We must vote the bill into law to know what’s in it”. Then you definitely know imbecilic stupidity and arrogance are qualifications for leadership within our Nation.

Attorney General Eric Holder when asked about “Fast and Furious”, where a border patrol agent was murdered. He stated he had no recollection of the operation. It was later discovered he did. He then Ignored a Congressional subpoena, and then was told by President Obama to investigate himself. Then you definitely know imbecilic stupidity and arrogance are qualifications for leadership within our Nation.

 

When the N.S.A. builds a mass installation and sworn by Obama with a straight face, no phone calls will be monitored and absolutely no American citizen’s rights will be violated, with the Constitution being preserved and respected. Then you definitely know imbecilic stupidity and arrogance are qualifications for leadership within our Nation.

 

When two top I.R.S. officials Lois Lerner and Gregory Roseman condescendingly took the fifth, during a Congressional hearing, slapping the faces of every American taxpayer. Their actions prove a strong indication that they are apparently hiding some sort of guilt while protecting illegal acts within their Department. Then you definitely know imbecilic stupidity and arrogance are qualifications for leadership within our Nation.

 

When our President constantly goes on luxury vacations sometimes separate from his family, who are not bashful in spending our hard earned tax revenues for heir own enjoyment. While their subjects, the American people are suffering needlessly in poverty at his failed clueless policies administered by his insensitive Administration. Then you definitely know imbecilic stupidity and arrogance are qualifications for leadership within our Nation.

 

Democratic Senate President Harry Reid, one of the initiators and arm twister or Obamacare. Who was forcefully strong-arming his fellow Democrats to vote for the hideous bill, later stating “It will be a train wreck”. Then you definitely know imbecilic stupidity and arrogance are qualifications for leadership within our Nation.

 

Force compliance, with social/economic starvation. The Obama Administration empowers dictatorship instead of living the American dream. A government that rewards the non-contributor and punishes the self made motivator and achiever. Then you definitely know imbecilic stupidity and arrogance are qualifications for leadership within our Nation.

 

When the Liberals Democrats and the Progressive identify members of a Tea Party rally as anti-American Racist bigots? Yet the first lady at a 911 ceremony in New York says to her husband the President “All this for a dam flag”, in which the President grins and nodded his head. Then you definitely know imbecilic stupidity and arrogance are qualifications for leadership within our Nation.

 

 

The list goes on and on, but unfortunately it only proves one thing, we are accepting imbecilic stupidity and arrogance as qualifications in our leadership, but keep re-electing these idiots?

 

Regrettably we deserve what we elect. Remember this definition on insanity by Albert Einstein “Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

 

Wake up America! Break this sad cycle of controlling incompetence, before we find ourselves living in a subservient Nation full of fear!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 31, 2013 CONTACT: DEP Press Office,850.245.2112, DEPNews@dep.state.fl.us  DEP ISSUES PERMIT FOR MAJOR EVERGLADES RESTORATION PROJECT ~A-1 Flow Equalization Basin project part of Gov. Scott's Everglades Restoration Plan~ TALLAHASSEE –The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has issued a permit for the first major construction project as part of Governor Rick Scott's Everglades Water Quality Restoration Plan -- to the South Florida Water Management District authorizing construction, operation and maintenance of the A-1 Flow Equalization Basin, the largest component to be constructed in the historic plan. Governor Scott said, "I was proud to work with environmental stakeholders to create our $880 million plan to fully restore the Everglades. This session, we secured $70 million in the Florida Families First Budget to take on important projects– and today is a major step forward in restoring this natural treasure." The A-1 Flow Equalization Basin is a more than 15,000-acre shallow impoundment area -- or reservoir -- south of Lake Okeechobee designed to store approximately 60,000 acre-feet of stormwater. The primary objective of the project, the largest of three flow equalization basins identified in the plan, is to reduce the impact of peak stormwater flows through temporarily storage and work in tandem with the proposed and existing stormwater treatment ares to optimize treatment efficiency. This Flow Equalization Basin is a shallow impoundment that will also contain vegetation to help reduce phosphorus concentrations before moving water to the stormwater treatment areas. Stormwater treatment areas are constructed, carefully managed wetlands that naturally remove phosphorus from water prior to the water being discharged into the Everglades. "We have to continue moving forward with meaningful projects that impact the Everglades," said DEP Secretary Herschel T. Vinyard Jr. "DEP, the South Florida Water Management District and all our stakeholders are working together to get the water right and improve the quality and flow of water going to the Everglades." To address water quality concerns associated with existing flows to the Everglades Protection Area, the Department, Water Management District and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency engaged in technical discussions starting in 2010. The Governor’s plan was presented to EPA in the Fall of 2011. After coordination with EPA, the final plan was included in permits and orders issued by the Department of Environmental Protection in September of 2012.  In May, Governor Scott signed into law HB 7065, which provides $32 million annually in state funding for the Governor's $880 million long-term Everglades restoration plan. The goal of the plan is to improve water quality and water flow throughout the Everglades. Improvements to the health of the Everglades ecosystem are important for fish and animal habitat as well as the health of the South Florida economy. The Water Management District has already achieved several milestones ahead of schedule.  “Continuing Everglades water quality improvements remains one of the South Florida Water Management District's highest priorities,” said SFWMD Interim Executive Director Ernie Barnett. “This project will enhance the performance of the highly successful stormwater treatment areas we  already have in operation." The Governor’s landmark water quality plan includes: - 6,500 acres of additional stormwater treatment areas, which are constructed, carefully managed wetlands that naturally remove phosphorus from water prior to the water being discharged into the Everglades. - 110,000 acre-feet of water storage capabilities in flow equalization basins, or reservoirs that work with the proposed and existing stormwater treatment areas to regulate flows and optimize treatment efficiency. - Other components of the plan include engineering projects in existing treatment areas and the modification of conveyance features necessary to move the water through the South Florida Water Management District’s massive flood control and water delivery features.
