– Michele Bachmann
– Herman Cain

Evil bitch.
It’s kind of the core of conservative philosophy, though. Sorry, I meant “conservative” “philosophy”.
Clever. Saying “will not work” let’s her sidestep questions about disabled individuals who cannot work. Because obviously, one is just lazy, while the other simply can’t help it, right?
Hmm, unless of course, there just aren’t enough jobs available to go around (even if you add in the jobs that people don’t want to do, whatever those might be)? But that can’t be right.
Or, unless it’s the case that we may have a moral case for not letting people die simply for “laziness”? Pfft, silliness.
How about, ethical objections to the kind of work available? Ha! Don’t make me laugh (oops. . .). No one would have such issues, as there just aren’t such jobs (except stripping, hooking, “managing” underage workers, medical worker [for those who think it’s all in God’s hands], consultant to Bachmann’s campaign, etc)
Gee, I think she might have a point /sarcasm (do I really need this tag?)
She got that last bit, “If anyone …” straight out of the King James Bible. “Saint” Paul.
Call me surprised. It sounded too intelligent for her. It had more of the “intellectual” feel of a statement by Gingrich. Of course, if she plagiarized that statement, it would make more sense for her to say it.
There’s a saying in Italian, “Chi non lavora, non mangia,” which literally means “[He] who doesn’t work, doesn’t eat.” But it’s understood as “if you sit around on your ass being lazy, no one is going to spoon-feed you.” NOT “people who are unemployed should starve to death.”
Maybe CrazyEyes should read some of Jonathan Swift’s modest proposals? Or is that like pouring gasoline on dynamite?
