Can't afford school lunch? Too bad, kid. Sucks to be you.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

Utah, it turns out, isn't the only state where kids who can't afford lunch get it taken away from them. Here in "blue" Minnesota it's been happening in a few districts, too. The Governor just said he'd put a stop to it and if necessary get the State to pay for lunches if the districts won't do it.

But we have our share of Teabagger types here, and some of them write LTTEs. Here's one:

You’ve got to be kidding. At what point have I become responsible for feeding the neighbor kid? Children need to be taught that if they don’t have any money, they can’t eat. Now, if parents are unable to supply the minimum money for their children to eat lunch, they most likely are unable to supply their children with any type of parenting, and shouldn’t have children, or their children should be removed from them.

If you disagree, I hope that you will pay for my McDonald’s the next time I walk in without any cash.

Big Lake is in Michele Bachmann's district - quelle surprise. I wonder if this douche considers himself a Christian? If so, maybe someone should show him Matthew 25.

1. Why can't Tea Party idiots see that healthy,

well educated children are a benefit to all of us? Selfish, hateful, short sighted bigots make my blood boil. What kind of person wants any child to be hungry?

2. Let's think a moment...

So the kids should be removed...

Is this jacka$$ going to take those kids in? And if they are taken away, who do you thing is going to pay for the care of that child?

Dumb, and Dumber!

4. BTW, Rec it!

People really need to see the "Douche"bag way of thinking! I hope more of them writes stuff like this and put it out! Let the mass public see how dumb they are and to avoid voting for anyone that is backed or is one.
