A Few Truths About The Phonies Who Say They Are Anti Social Safety Nets

A Few Truths About The Phonies
Who Say They Are Anti Social Safety Nets

Entitlement Hater Paul Ryan Was A Social Security Baby

April 19, 2011

By Ray Medeiros

When Representative Paul Ryan was 16 years old , tragedy struck
his family. His 55 year old father had passed away from a heart
attack. Young Paul Ryan found his father’s lifeless body and
was burdened by the fact that he had to tell his mother and
siblings of this horrible situation.

After his father’s passing, young Paul Ryan started
collecting social security benefits until the age of 18 years
old. He took this benefit and saved it for his college education.
Representative Paul Ryan is one example of the millions of people
whose lives have depended on our social contract with the
American people. Without this benefit, his mother would have had
to make even tougher decisions and Representative Paul Ryan may
not have been able to pay for his college education. This social
contract lifted him and his entire family out of a tough situation.

Many people do not know that 30% of the social security fund goes
directly to widows,orphans and the disabled. It is not solely for
the benefit of retirees. Unfortunately this social contract is
under a regressive attack by the Republicans, including Paul Ryan.

Under Paul Ryan’s Roadmap for America budget, he wants to
take a portion of social security and funnel it to Wall Street to
gamble with, rather than having the current program stand as it
is, as an insurance program rather than an investment.

Not to mention Ayn Rand (THE GODDESS OF THE REPUCLICAN IDEOLOGY) took government assistance while decrying others who did the same

Mark Frauenfelder

Noted speed freak, serial-killer fangirl, and Tea Party hero Ayn
Rand was also a kleptoparasite, sneakily gobbling up taxpayer
funds under an assumed name [note: it might have been her legal
name] to pay for her medical treatments after she got lung cancer.

An interview with Evva Pryror, a social worker and consultant to
Miss Rand's law firm of Ernst, Cane, Gitlin and Winick verified
that on Miss Rand's behalf she secured Rand's Social Security and
Medicare payments which Ayn received under the name of Ann
O'Connor (husband Frank O'Connor).

As Pryor said, "Doctors cost a lot more money than books
earn and she could be totally wiped out" without the aid of
these two government programs. Ayn took the bail out even though
Ayn "despised government interference and felt that people
should and could live independently... She didn't feel that an
individual should take help."

But alas she did and said it was wrong for everyone else to do so.

Paul Ryan Throws Grandma Off The
Cliff

Someone on my
clipmark blog commented that we grandmas' should go after that
young whipper-snapper Ryan and beat em up with our canes... I
don't have a cane yet but I can swing a powerful rake (I made
another trail in our 5 acre woods bringing the total trails to
5...)



 I saw Ryan on MORNING JOE DOING HIS DANCE... WOW he said
the Republican's lost because of demagoguery by the Democrats who
deliberately set out to... get this... SCARE SENIORS... TALK

The End Is Near or THE END IS HERE

Here we go again... Another Crackpot predicting END TIMES!

On more than 1,200 billboards, in full-page newspapers ads and on all the major news networks, Camping has generated national coverage with his warning to the world that the Day of Judgment begins at 6 p.m. today (I'm not sure if that's Eastern Standard Time or Central Standard Time). http://www2.hernandotoday.com/content/2011/may/21/HAOPINO1-the-world-will-end-at-6-pm-today/

Forget the guy carrying the sign that reads "The End Is Near." According to a man named Harold Camping "The End Is Here!" A doomsday forecaster is nothing new. We've always had them and always will (the Mayan calendar predicts the world will end December 21, 2012). So will the end of days happen today?
Here is "my prediction" … At 6:01 p.m., millions of people will not mysteriously be missing (the "rapture"), nor will a mother of all earthquakes show up on any Richter scale as Camping predicts.

YES THESE CRACKPOTS WILL ALWAYS BE AROUND AS LONG AS THERE ARE FRUITCAKES WHO LISTEN TO THEIR ABSURD, INSANE PREDICTIONS... GET REAL FOLKS... :-( I might as well just whistle in the dark!)thinkingblue

WHISTLE IN THE DARK - "Be cheerful or optimistic in a situation that doesn't warrant cheer or optimism. It is a great temptation to try to cheer oneself up by whistling or singing in a dark and lonely place. Sigmund Freud, in 'The Problem of Anxiety' , had a thought on the practice: 'When the wayfarer whistles in the dark, he may be disavowing his timidity, but he does not see any the more clearer for doing so.' The notion that one should whistle in difficult circumstances to show that one is not concerned or frightened can be found in Robert Blair's 'The Grave; : 'The Schoolboy.Whistling aloud to bear his Courage up.'

PS: A big thanks to MAXINE... She came through again with her folksy wisdom. :-)

Paul Ryan Throws Grandma Off The Cliff (spoof)

This video is a spoof but it has an element of truth to it. What Paul Ryan's Budget Plan does… It takes a look at YOU & ME and sees us as leaches, bloodsuckers who suck profit away from the rich.



Yepper, that's the GOP in a nutshell.

If
only they could get rid of us bums, freeloaders, and scroungers
so easy as by pushing us all over a cliff, they would do it
like... yesterday. We work hard all our lives and some of us
still wind up with low or hardly any income and because of that
we are viewed, in the eyes of the filthy rich Republican... AS
WORTHLESS! It's sad but true! thinkingblue

Now
click the link below and watch Lawrence O'Donnell speak on the
Republican's radical plan of STARVE THE BEAST and how this
disgusting plan has worked. There are way too many ignorant
voters in America and because of that America is going to fail as
the BEACON OF FREEDOM. thinkingblue

The Children Speak Out!

A poignant video of peace by children.

Amplify’d from www.thethinkingblue.com

If children ruled the world, if before they were indoctrinated into
belief systems of intolerance and hate, I truly believe OUR
PLANET WOULD BE ONE OF PEACE. But, that will remain only a dream because intolerance and hatred keep on begetting. How thoroughly dismal this is. thinkingblue

THE CHILDREN OF THE
WORLD SPEAK-OUT!

No other options for the People?

Is fighting and killing the best method humankind can come up
with to control fighting and killing?

Who says so?

The People of Afghanistan are tired of war as a method for
'peace', and they want options.

They want nonviolent options, options to live without killing,
options to end the war.

"We wish to live without wars.

We do not want the 'Taliban' or the 'Al-Qaeda' to rule us.

We do not want the current corrupt Afghan government or
war-and-drug-lords to rule us.

We do not want neighboring and regional countries to rule us.

We do not want the US/NATO forces to rule us, far less to
over-stay permanently or kill us!"

Abdulai, and the Afghan Youth Peace Volunteers
