Text of the page (random words):
ern is the man makes a good amount of money whether he s blue collar or white collar whether he has a ged or a phd whether he s an independent consultant or a company man he makes too much money for his family to qualify for big gov t handouts if he and his woman tie the knot by not legally getting married he can make the money buy the house buy the new cars etc she by not being married and unemployed or underemployed can rake in the welfare while still enjoying the fruits of his labor these people are brilliant royal a holes but brilliant they are playing the system and and they are coming out winners they live like husband and wife in their private lives they share a home they have children together she uses a married name for everything but legal purposes however in the eyes of the government he s not her husband he s her landlord and the gov t is helping to pay her rent to him they have kids but because she s unemployed and single she gladly welcomes the handouts through wic free or subsidized child care free school meals etc as a single parent even though she s actually living with the father of her children she can usually get free or subsidized college for herself or her children she gets taxpayer subsidized gov t health insurance because she s poverty stricken in the eyes of the gov t she usually has little or no income she files for eitcs every year and they take a nice vacation when the check arrives like i said it s brilliant annoying as hell to us taxpayers but brilliant i wish i was kidding i m not i unfortunately know several couples living this way including some extended family the stigma of out of wedlock children is gone there is no societal compulsion to actually make their marriage legal several of the couples have openly discussed their decision to have an undocumented marriage and have zero guilt or remorse or see any ethical dilemma when i ve questioned the fairness of what they re doing meaning expecting people like me to pay for their existence when they can do it themselves they confidently say there s nothing wrong with it i ve looked into it i can t find any evidence that it s illegal to do this if you can let me know 20 years ago i was deciding on which law school i wanted to attend so my husband and i went to visit a few of them financial aid was a big deal for me at every school in addition to meeting the dean of admissions and getting a tour i spoke with a financial aid counselor i was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth so i was paying for all of it i needed to know my options i will never forget what one of the financial aid counselors told me unfortunately i was planning to go to law school as a married person that meant i was screwed in the financial aid arena my husband would work while i went to law school he didn t make much but it was enough to make me unqualified for any grants or other types of help she apologized and gave me the same recommendation she gave to all of her married applicants get a divorce by getting a divorce i would be going to law school as an unmarried unemployed woman i would have a ton of handouts coming my way i asked her if that was ethical she said it didn t matter it was legal then she said we could live together the entire time and we could get remarried after i was out of school she said we didn t need to even make a big deal about it just quietly file for divorce i wouldn t need to tell my family or friends then have a simple marriage after three years of school nobody would need to know i was unmarried i could still let everyone think we were married it would just be so i could get all the gov t handouts needless to say just because it was legal didn t mean it was ethical and i walked out of that office incredibly mad and i scratched that school off the list i ended up at another school i ended up staying married i ended up taking out loans instead of taking gov t handouts to this day it still makes me mad to know so many people take advantage of the system with this undocumented marriage trick so tell me what should we do to fix this problem can it be fixed posted in uncategorized sit down shut up you re a racist by divadoll123 on january 29 2017 leave a comment i don t like most executive orders i certainly don t like the growing abuse of using an executive order to circumvent the legislature and upturn the delicate balance of power the very balance of power that protects our country from a single person in the white house when obama started using executive orders to get what he wanted i was concerned when i voiced my concern to liberals i was told sit down shut up you re a racist when i voiced by concern over his threat to use his pen and his phone i was told sit down shut up you re a racist he s your president when i voiced my concern over the large number of executive orders i was told sit down shut up you re a racist he s getting things done when i voiced my concern over his continued use of executive orders i was told sit down shut up you re a racist he has every right to do this as president when i voiced my concern that the delicate balance of power was broken when obama was making the laws instead of the legislature passing the laws i was told sit down shut up you re a racist he wouldn t have to do this if the legislature would help him get this done when i said this was an abuse of power i was told sit down shut up you re a racist bush did it too when i said it was wrong when any president abused this power i was told sit down shut up you re a racist you re only saying this because you don t like this president when i said bush shouldn t have done this either i was told sit down shut up you re a racist you re lying because you hate what obama s doing when i said no president should use executive orders for anything except the most exigent circumstances i was told sit down shut up you re a racist you don t know what you re talking about when i asked how the liberals would feel when the pen and phone were in another person s hand i was told sit down shut up you re a racist now the pen and the phone are in another person s hand and the liberals are suddenly outraged over the abuse of executive orders don t say i didn t try to warn them posted in christmas democrats executive orders government liberals obama politics republicans trump a restaurant analogy by divadoll123 on september 21 2016 leave a comment imagine it s november of 2016 everyone who can legally vote is given the opportunity to go to a restaurant and pick one sandwich the sandwich that the most people order is the one everyone will be forced to eat for 4 years you do not need to go to a restaurant you can decide to stay home but if you do you have no input into the sandwich everyone will be forced to eat instead let s assume you decide to go to the restaurant on the menu the are only two options a turd burger with sprinkles and a side of rainbow unicorn farts a great cheezy burger with a side of rainbow skittles that s it two options now if you don t want a turd burger or a cheezy burger you can cop an attitude and insist on ordering a cruz burger a bernie burger a carson burger or any other burger however if you chose a burger not on the menu you have zero chance of your non menu burger winning even if a bunch of other people also order the same non menu burger you can ask for it but it will never be served i promise you even if a bunch of people order it there will never be enough orders because too many people will only pick between the two burgers on the menu you can also go on a hunger strike and refuse to pick off the menu and decide to order nothing it s your prerogative to decide to pick nothing however when the winning burger is served you ll still be forced to eat it for four long years on the other hand you can pick one of the two menu choices you can still be completely disappointed that your favorite burger isn t on the menu you can still complain that the burgers on the menu have the wrong bun a crappy side dish and lackluster condiments you can still lament the two choices you don t have to be thrilled about it you just need to make sure your order is counted for the burger you ll have to eat for four years i get it but like it or not there are two options if restaurants really operated as described above they d all go out of business unfortunately our political system currently works that way and it s not going out of business any time soon as far as i m concerned although i think other burgers would have been better i have to pick the more palatable sandwich although four years of a great cheezy burger isn t my dream option i d rather have four years of cheezy instead of four years of turd burgers with sprinkles and a side of rainbow unicorn farts think about it order wisely posted in uncategorized my current thoughts by divadoll123 on august 7 2016 1 comment i posted a comment on a friend s fb page and i thought i d replicate it here and add a few more comments we are facing four years of chaos or four years of marxism you are 100 correct we have a chance of surviving chaos we have no chance of surviving marxism the election is about salvaging the few existing freedoms we still have and recovering the freedoms the overreaching government has taken away with hillary we lose the chance of ever returning to the country our founders envisioned where the gov t was beholden to the individual not the other way around liberals think the gov t needs to protect us from ourselves and the manipulative corporations liberals don t stop to realize the gov t is by far the largest and most manipulative corporation of all time it s quite sad really i am one of the hold my nose and vote individuals i did not select trump while standing in a voting booth during the primary however i will vote for the individual most likely to prevent hillary from ascending to the throne if she stacks the supreme court it s game over game over i truly feel this way i can t comprehend the gop individuals who are so offended with trump they are voicing their support for hillary i can understand stating that you will not be voting because you have no confidence in trump i can understand stating that you will be voting for the person you wanted in the primary e g cruz fiorina carson i can understand you saying you will be voting for another party s candidate such as libertarian constitutional etc what i cannot fathom is a gop person voting for hillary unless they are just another cog in the machinations of the progressive elite and honestly that just might be the case see a whole lot of us are pretty sick and tired of seeing the gop allegedly a pro freedom pro individual responsibility pro smaller government party frequently align with the liberal progressive pro socialism closet commie left i know the media is hillary s lap dog but we don t expect the gop to be there too hell if i thought i might be at risk of having myself or my family join the ranks of the conveniently dead people around the clintons i might be swayed myself however i like to think i d take the higher ground and do the right thing too many in the gop are showing their liberal slips too many in the gop don t do the right thing i have been a conservative since i was young i did not get swayed by the liberal bastions known as college and law school although the pressure to adopt liberal ideals was overwhelming in both environments i quickly learned the difference between earning an a and a c in constitutional law classes was answering the questions from the perspective of a communist the uber left professor preferred it that way regardless of his insistence otherwise i have not faltered i took the lower grade by standing my constitutional ground it was quite sad to watch it happen so while i have not faltered the gop has gop leadership gop politicians and gop pundits have all of them like it or not trump is our option if you think someone else honestly has the chance of beating hillary let me know who they are because i will seriously consider giving them my vote until then it s chaos or marxism i ll take the chaos posted in uncategorized honor the achievers by divadoll123 on june 4 2016 leave a comment i ve noticed a growing trend in public schools it s no longer politically correct to have any type of honor society or honor roll it all stems from the everyone gets a trophy mentality crafted by a pathetic society that is more concerned about people feeling left out than recognizing anything that dares to look like exceptionalism there s one article that s getting a lot of attention these days but i ve been aware of this trend for a few years i call bullsh t on this trend there is nothing wrong with pointing out the students who achieved good grades i m not saying this because i was a member of any national honor group nor am i saying this because i was a frequent flyer on the honor roll i was never in any formal society and my presence on the honor roll was occasional i didn t get to wear a special tassel at graduation maybe i should demand a do over nah i d never do that i m not an idiot i m saying this because there s nothing wrong with recognizing people who do well there s nothing wrong with pointing out the students who worked extra hard there s nothing worrisome about applauding intelligence there s nothing offensive about lauding good grades there s nothing obnoxious about rewarding the students who sacrificed other things to do well in class i have two kids the overachiever and the underachiever my daughter is a textbook overachiever she is an extraordinarily diligent student she does all of her homework without being asked she studies for tests more than once she throws herself into research assignments she writes papers again and again until they are just right she pays attention in class she is self motivated to study beyond what is required she reads instead of goofing off she is an exemplary student she does everything she needs to do to do well in school she is on the honor roll she earned every single one of her grades she earned her place on the honor roll my son is a textbook underachiever i m not saying that he isn t smart he s incredibly intelligent and has a creative streak his sister doesn t have in a side by side comparison you d be hard pressed to figure out which one is smarter than the other what is easy to see is he doesn t give a rat s ass about school he regularly forgets to bring home homework assignments he often refuses to do his homework he almost never studies for tests he is often distracted in class preferring to wage wars inside his desk with pencil erasers and other items he hates school and has no interest in studying he only reads if we threaten to take away electronic devices he is a terrible student he does very little he needs to do to do well in school he is not on the honor roll we celebrated a small victory today when we saw his report card included a recommendation that he be...
