Government Paying Black Men To Impregnate Women Says Lawmaker

Posted on March 5, 2013 by Eric Austin

It appears as though Representative Glen Gruenhagen is tired of his role as back bench crazy member of the MN House Republican Caucus. He wants the top spot! Courtesy of The Uptake: During a debate on a health care insurance bill, Representative Glenn Gruenhagen (R- Glenco, MN) claimed it would undermine “traditional marriage” and then went a few steps further. “When a country undermines traditional marriage, it cannot print up enough money to take care of all the problems that happen in our society. And we need to look no further than our welfare program and the black families in this country. Prior to the great society programs of the 60s the out of wedlock birth among black families was approximately, or was under 20 … Continue reading →

Nothing to see here, you just go back to sucking off the teat of government and just never you mind what Mitt Romney thinks about you… Oh stop it, don’t be so shocked! If you believed that Mitt Romney was in this thing to help the bottom 50% of Americans in any way, well then you probably deserve to be trickled on by a couple billionaires.

The Most Important Education Article(s) You Should Read TODAY…

Posted on April 21, 2012 by Eric Austin

It’s always nice to read something other than the teacher bashing and bubble test pedaling of the corporate education reformers. So, here are a couple good articles about reforms that actually work and what the United States would really have to do to get there (hint: it’s going to take more than firing teachers and a bubble test).

Shit @MaryFranson Says… Welfare For The Poor Is Like Feeding The Animals

Posted on March 2, 2012 by Eric Austin

H/T to both Laura Askelin & Sally Jo Sorenson for catching this one… These updates from Representative Mary Franson just keep getting better and better. In the update for this week, Franson makes the following (apparently funny) comparison between poor people on welfare and animals living in our parks: And here, it’s kind of ironic, I’ll read you this little funny clipped that we got from a friend. It says, Isn’t it ironic that the food stamp program, part of the Department of Agriculture, is pleased to be distributing the greatest amount of food stamps ever. Meanwhile, the Park Service, also part of the Department of Agriculture, asks us to please not feed the animals, because the animals may grow dependent and not learn to … Continue reading →
