I remember how they taught about the Welfare system. I remember specifically questioning where I fiscally stood and where I morally stood on how they lied about welfare in my textbook.
I recall the book discussing why new measures were taken so that you could only be on welfare for a total of five years in your life. They explained it as the best way to prevent people who had “cushy lifestyles” from abusing the system.
They talked about “Welfare Queens”. And how “Welfare Queens” abused the system, had as many children as possible (the harlots!) and then the children were taught to ‘abuse the system’. This was not just my teacher saying this. This was what the books explained. The books explained how people on Welfare abused the system and found loopholes and exploited those who paid taxes.
And I remember thinking, “There is no fucking way it’s this bad, but my entire class is eating it up. They’re going to be the horrible people who fight with corporations because they’re scared of people different and worse off financially than them.”
My Economics book was the equivalent of a science class teaching purely creationism.
That’s it.
That’s the story.
I’M LAUGHING SO HARD RN
I just want to know what freelance illustrator drew these.
I want to know what their face looked like when they got the request from their client.
“CAN YOU DRAW. A PEOPLE MAKING OUT WITH A DOG. CHECK YES OR NO.”
“*checks when bills are due*…..I’ll have to apply a ‘fucked up’ surcharge of 1000% but yes yes I can.”
“OKAY BUT WE NEED SOME ROACH/HUMAN ACTION TOO.”
“….*facerub*”
The things freelancers do when bills are due…
The question really is, do we care if ducks are marrying donkeys? Does that still affect humans? Do we need to worry about this?
I’m impressed someone got the assignment for “Duck kissing donkey” and figured out how THOSE mouths would fit together.
Does it mean I’m a Super!Liberal that I really kind of want to see the duck-donkey hybrid babies? Or just that I have serious problems?
ded.
I thought this was a fake democrat poster making fun of how ridiculous republicans can be. But nope, I guess I was wrong. Wow. Just, wow.
Also, is it just me or is it really funny how all the mammals have their eyes closed while they’re kissing? Like, that duck and donkey look like they’re really concentrating on what they’re doing.
HOLD UP
At what point in the Gay Agenda are we breeding Great Dane-sized grasshoppers? They don’t tell me these things at the Gaystapo meetings. I must not be high enough rank.
And now I want a dog sled pulled by Gay Apocalypse locusts. That’ll show Capital Metro, those never showing up on time jerks.
DAMMIT they’ve leaked our 5-year plan
HOW DO THEY EVEN!?
Laughing so hard.
This year I was diagnosed with two rare spinal and brain diseases. In two weeks I will have my first brain surgery. Without Obamacare, I wouldn’t be able to afford my brain surgery. Without Obama, I would be in debilitating pain and wouldn’t be able to care for my kids because I wouldn’t have been able to see the specialist to be diagnosed. Thank you for standing up for low-income families. You saved my life.
This is a breakdown for early North Carolina primary voters.
The top one is for Democratic voters.
The bottom one is for Republican voters.
Oh, Republicans. You so silly.
American politicians playing politics with ‘terrorism’ ? Crikey .. as if that would ever happen ..
But it’s okay if you’re a Republican. This is how it always works in their “listen to me, listen to me, don’t listen to them” whirly loop.
Ever notice how some editorial cartoonists depict the standard-issue GOP elephant with tiny ears, and President Obama with Dumbo-like ears? That has stricken me very symbolic of the GOP, which doesn’t listen, and the President, who at least listens and gets some things right, and still others wrong. Barack Obama is NOT the *perfect* President. There hasn’t ever been a *perfect* President, and there never will be. Liberals are well taken to call out this President for several things, but they shouldn’t be an indictment of his entire Administration.
