REPUKE: Poor Parents Are "criminally… ah… criminally negligent with respect to raising children"

[kpete]

Right wing declares war on the poor: Kate O'Beirne calls parents of school lunch recipients child abusers

O’BEIRNE: And then the title of our gathering is so crucial; “Less of Washington and More of Ourselves”. The federal school lunch program and now breakfast program and I guess in Washington DC, dinner program are pretty close to being sacred cows… broad bipartisan support. And if we’re going to ask more of ourselves, my question is what poor excuse for a parent can’t rustle up a bowl of cereal and a banana? I just don’t get why millions of school children qualify for school breakfasts unless we have a major wide spread problem with child neglect.

You know, I mean if that’s how many parents are incapable of pulling together a bowl of cereal and a banana, then we have problems that are way bigger than… that problem can’t be solved with a school breakfast, because we have parents who are just criminally… ah… criminally negligent with respect to raising children.

1. O’BEIRNE's parents were criminally negligent

because O’BEIRNE needs character, or intelligence, or exposure to reality, or psychoactive drugs, or all of the above.

2. O'Beirne is a ditz.

A right-wing ditz along the lines of Sarah The Quitter.

5. Can't. say. what. I'm. thinking.

I teach those kids, b****. Go ask Cheney what you should do to yourself with that cereal and that banana. Then, come up to Michigan, and spend a week in my school. Live with one of my homeless students (I know just the one to put you with), visit with the parents who've been out of work for months and months and whose kids only eat at school or at friends' houses, and actually get to know those poor people you look down on.

If you're lucky, I'll let you go back to your cushy life with just a bit of your heart bruised for those kids and those parents in such a tough situation. If you're not, well, you might take awhile to get yourself back home with no money, no cell, and no way to get either.

6. What about the criminals that steal from the poor?

You know, Republicans.

7. Well let's just keep compromising with these people

so they can go further and further. It will soon get to a point where it is time for real class warfare.
