Wow, this girl has a great plan! Love the last thing she would do as it is long overdue.
This was written by a 21 yr old female who gets it. It's her future she’s worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big government state that she’s being forced to live in! These solutions are just common sense in her opinion. This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco, TX Nov 18, 2010
Put me in charge.....
Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.
Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we'll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, or smoke, then get a job.
Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks?
You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your "home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.
In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the “common good..”
Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules.. Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self esteem," consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.
If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.
AND while you are on Gov’t subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov’t welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.
Cowboys and the Tea Party political movement have a lot on common. Both believe in individual responsibility; judging a man by his actions not words; and, both are disgusted with government intrusions into our lives and particularly our God given rights.

Conservative's Alienating Hispanics?
I read a recent article highlighting that the Republican Candidates are alienating Hispanics. The article alluded to most of the candidates stances on the path to citizenship issue for illegal aliens already in this country.
In major Hispanic states like New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Florida and Texas some pundits are speculating that Republicans may only garner 8% of the Hispanic vote.
While it is true that during the Republican primary, candidates tend to run to the far right to attract their base, New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez, a Republican, has warned the candidates to watch what they say and how they say it. I don't think there is a Republican candidate who favors letting illegals go to the front of the citizenship line, however, I think all candidates support fast track citizenship for aliens who honorable serve in the military.
Hispanics will account for roughly 30 percent of the population by 2050, doubling their political power. In 2008, President Barack Obama's won 67 percent of the Hispanic vote in the general election to 31 percent for Republican John McCain. Compare that to 2004 when Democratic nominee John Kerry won Hispanics by 53 percent to 44 percent for Bush, a Texan who focused heavily on attracting Hispanics.
You know, I have to agree that Republicans are alienating some Hispanics. They are alienating the ones who think it is their right to immigrant illegally; steal identities; sign up for and obtain welfare in many different forms that they did not contribute to; and protests at events carrying Mexican flags.
The Hispanics that Conservatives are not alienating believe in family values; individual responsibility; and, that the U.S. provides "a right to pursue happiness" not a "right to happiness".
Ask N.M. Governor Susana Martinez, FL Senator Marco Rubio and Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval, to name a few, on why they are conservatives as opposed to being Democrats.

Ginsberg's Defining Moment
Indeed, a defining moment for the current Administration who no doubt think the same way.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg took her work break visiting a couple North African countries including Egypt where she dissed the U.S. Constitution by saying "she would not look to the United States Constitution" as an example from which to build democracy in Egypt.
Giving a speech at the University of Cairo law school. Ginsberg said "This is the most wonderful time in which to live and be among the young people who are helping your country and bringing about change during this exceptional transitional period to a real democratic state". Ginsburg went on saying "Think of the people who lived before you and did not have this opportunity because they lived under a dictatorial regime."
Madame Clueless made these comments after weeks of fear and speculation of radical Islamists, including the Muslim Brotherhood, seized power.
Watch the short video below. I say, if you don;t like the U.S. Constitution, then maybe you'll like living under Egypt's and wearing a burka while you read it.
