I heard this little piece of politically correct Americana on the radio while my dsl was down. Maybe that's why it made me so mad. See if it makes you mad, too.
It seems the city of Seattle has built free housing for alcoholics. You read that right; free, as in built by the taxpayer, housing for drunks! The complex cost $11,000,000 and has been nicknamed Drunk Dorms. And just how do you qualify to live in Drunk Dorms? You have to have been an alcoholic for 15 years and failed at rehab 6 times. That's all it takes to live at taxpayers' expense and continue to drink! That's right, you don't have to stop drinking once you get your free accomodations. I guess Seattle officials felt that requiring drunks to stop drinking in order to get free housing defeated the purpose of building free housing for drunks.
Someone please tell me what kind of a world are we living in??!! I've been working my butt off all these years for nothing. I could've quit working 15 years ago, married a bottle of Jack Daniels, and be living rent free today with JD still by my side. What kind of madness is this? What ever happened to the idea of personal responsibility?
There was a time, long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away, when people were actually held accountable for their actions and suffered the consequences thereof. Oh yes, there was charity for the needy, but only the deserving needy: those who suffered through no fault of their own or who were willing to change their anti-social, self-destructive behavior. People who wouldn't change their behavior were left to reap what they had sown. Not anymore. Today, it's the height of pc compassion to aid people in the "safe" commission of self-destruction. And it's the depth of pc heartlessness to divide the poor into deserving and undeserving, or to pass judgment on their behavior. You're a Nazi if you even think of it.
And what does this pc compassion get us? Needle exchange programs, subsidized illegitimacy, generational helplessness, feminized poverty, and Drunk Dorms. I kid you not.

Let us not forget that Jesus spent a lot of time with the drunks and prostitutes......he did not provide for dorms but he gave his time and love. Do you know whats it is like to stay in these dorms, no five star accomodation there not even to the standard of a low budget cheap motel. I dont think you do and I dont think you would even be capable of spending a single minute there. You are very much one of these people that love to criticize others and do it without even having a tiny bit of knowledge.Getting homeless drunks off the the streets at night , giving them shelter from extreme weather and providing them with one warm meal is honourable. But of course you are a Bush lover, a racist and a hater of lesser beings.Burn in hell!
Anonymous, my dear jerk! You invoke the name of Jesus as if that gives you bullet proof moral superiority over me. Well, since you brought Him up, please show me where in the Bible Jesus says to help the drunks stay drunk, to keep the prostitutes on the street, to, in short, help people self-destruct. What kind of love is that?
You say it's honorable to give homeless drunks shelter and a warm meal. I say it's more honorable to "give" them sobriety so they can provide their own shelter and
warm meals. Ever heard of, "He who does not work neither shall he eat"? Or, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for one day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for life"? The first quote is from the Bible, the second is a Chinese proverb. You need to learn and appreciate the profound truth about real compassion these two sayings teach. The pc compassion you obviously believe in has ruined more lives than it's ever saved.
And as for your last two sentences, well, they're typical of the hate-filled, personal attacks you pc'ers always launch
against those who disagree with you. Apparently, you think it proves your moral and intellectual prowess. But to answer you no, I'm not a Bush lover; I'm an America lover. Racist? Please! What does holding people accountable for their bad choices have to do with racism? White people make bad choices, too. And as for hating lesser beings well, I don't hate you. Enough said.
