You know those "Constitution" assholes...?
The ones who say "It's not in the Constitution" about any kind of government spending other than their pets like the military?

What do they have to say about helping our citizens who have been clobbered by natural disasters?

Anybody hear anything from them?

2. Only if they get to take it out of the sick and elderly.
That is only a guess, mind you, but it is probably fairly close to the mark.

3. Article I, Section 8:
"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States."

6. Those people ignore "general welfare"...
In posting on other boards, I find that they think "gerneral welfare" is taking care of the US... the country... not the citizens.

I hear those assholes talking about NOT helping citizens all the time, but where are they now?

I know... I know... they're not consistent, but I'm just wondering if any of them is actually speaking out against disaster aid.

7. How about this: They bitch about big gobment but when a disaster happens then they are all for...

big gobmint helping them out. Of course if you are going to die for lack of big gobmint single payer health care, they have no problem with that. Seems to me that there's more concern for the loss of property than there is for loss of life. It's sick!

4. It doesn't matter to them if it doesn't happen directly to them
If it happens to them or someone they have some sort of a relationship, then it's a TRAGEDY and someone should so something!!!

If it happens to someone they don't know, it's not their business.

If it happens to someone who isn't as white as they are, then the God is punishing them. Unless it's someone they know of course.
