Open Forum: Thoughts on all the free stuff

Posted: October 20, 2011 - 7:03pm

My father was in the Army in World War I. I had two brothers in the Army in World War II. One in the Pacific and one in Europe. Another brother in during Korea. Myself, I’m a cold war vet. I am proud that we all fulfilled our military obligation (something that men don’t have to do today because there is no draft).
Now I belong to the gray-haired brigade and I am confused about something; Let me see if I can figure this out.
The folks, who are getting the free stuff, don’t like the folks who are paying for the free stuff, because the folks who are paying for the free stuff can no longer afford to pay for the free stuff and their own stuff. And the folks who are paying for the free stuff want the free stuff to stop. And the folks who are getting the free stuff want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting.
Now the people who are forcing the people who pay for the free stuff have told the people who are receiving the free stuff that the people who are paying for the free stuff are being mean, prejudiced and racist.
So, the people who are getting free stuff have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff, by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff and giving them the free stuff in the first place.
We have let the free stuff go on so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff.

God Bless the USA.

Very well put Jim. You should

Very well put Jim. You should run for elective office while there are still some of us working and paying types still around.

Jim

Totally agree but printing an e-mail that has been floating around is not the way to go.

where are the leftists and free stuff receivers?

This is the first time I have seen it, first time I read it, and I totally agree. How many more have not seen it?

Thank you for the post Mr Falconer.

I am wondering where all the people that get the free stuff are? Why are you not commenting on this?

Why are there not any comments from the left that side with the freeloaders?

I know why, it makes too much sense and they have nothing.

funny, I was wondering where the posters were for..

the Grand Jury story today.

Too bad some of the open forum letter writers on the right have to send in e mail forwards. This one was really strange.

Actually, most people that I know cannot comment all day, because they have to WORK (I'm just getting done.)

Oddly, the neo-cons have all day to post on line..hmmm...

Work

Oh, Earthy, you are "always working, volunteering, working the soup kitchen, etc." Why is it that you are on here almost every day posting as separate personalities?

you give me a lot of credit, thanks

but I have never seen this mythic person you speak of post??
I have a feeling this poster is some kind of on-line folk hero.

I am sooo flattered :))))

Help me figure this out: You all believe there is ONE smart liberated woman in this town? Gotta love that simplistic thinking.

By the way, I'm a guy.............really- how do you know anything is true on here? A lot of assumtions going on. I am amused. Trying to expose who posters are can be seen as bullying on line. Trying to make them fearful of posting. I'm not falling for it like some others.

I will not respond to your pointless posts any more, that would give you too much pleasure. Just this once.

If you're so into revealing posters identities, go for it. You are free to list your name on your posts.

another

plagiarized letter forwarded to the local paper by an old guy who thinks he is going to impress someone. Is the rest of your letter original and actually about you?
signed...old guy from the left.

funny

With the story you just gave, it makes sense why this conservative would be Pro-Life.
