Greg is misusing the term. In most common usage, an immigrant is someone
who comes into your country from another country. That's how Ingraham
was using the term...it was obvious from her hate-filled comment that
she thinks Puerto Rico is "another country," and not part of the United
States territories, and that Puerto Ricans are American citizens, and
not foreigners. And if memory serves, Greg didn't even know the
difference between immigrant and emigrant.

I pasted the definition straight from the dictionary. I can't help it
if you have been misusing the term.
Then you compound the error when you bring up Emigrant.

I don't dispute what you are saying. The problem of the homeless is a
difficult one. But taking blankets away from the homeless on a cold
night is not part of the solution, or shouldn't be.

Sure it is, if there are adequate shelters and the goal is to get the homeless off the streets and
into the shelters where it is warm.

Ahh, so you have current knowledge, verified, of course, of the shelter
situation in Pensacola and the status of the homeless there. Good for
you. Go get those blankets!

It is clear this was just thread leak.

BTW Nevada has the best plan and maybe Florida should adopt it. They
simply pay the homeless people to move to California.



Why is that the best plan?

It gets them out of Nevada and sends them to a state well known for taking care of the unemployed.

...the stupidity level on Fox News had bottomed out...

Laura Ingraham bore even deeper into the depths of stupidity of
unimaginable proportion. Ingraham called Puerto Ricans immigrants.

On her radio show, Ingraham said Associate Supreme Court Justice
Sotomayor’s “allegiance obviously goes to her [Puerto Rican] immigrant
family background and not to the Constitution of the United States.

Puerto Ricans are United States Citizens and are NOT immigrants.

Immigration is defined as "To enter and settle in a country or region
to which one is not native." It says nothing about citizenship.
New Yorkers are immigrating to Texas. (and are just about as welcome)



Whoosh.

Diarrhea? Greg just showed Laura was correct. That went over your head? I don't think so.



The thing is, property and home owners have rights too. They also have
responsibilities that go along with those rights. In many cases a
location is selected to rent or purchase a home based upon the school
system, and general quality of life in which to raise a family. Having
to tip-toe around homeless people living in cardboard boxes is not what
they are paying taxes for.

The homeless have to accept some level of responsibility to get help to
improve their lot in life. Help is available in many areas and provided
by tax funded federal and state government programs, private
organizations and church based shelters that offer a warm place to stay
with employment, health and training assistance. One of the problems
that exists is that a large percentage of homeless individuals *do not*
want to take advantage of these facilities or to even get help. Drug
addicts and alcoholics make up a higher proportion of the homeless than
do the mentally ill or other subgroups and many homeless are in that
position *because* of drug addiction or alcoholism. Like a drug addict
or alcoholic, they must first *want* to get help.


Amen.

Harry should round up a hundred or so of them and set up a tent city on
his lawn. He could feed them and hand out blankets while his bride
counsels them. Southern Maryland is beginning to have a homeless problem
of epic proportions. Harry could help deal with it if he wanted to.

Because the bleeding hearts in California get to bleed some of their
own blood instead of bleeding other people. Those people in Pensacola
should give the bums bus tickets to Breezy Point and enough meal/wine
money to be sure they can make it there safely. Then you can decide if
that blanket ordinance still seems so silly.

Why California? Send them the the Florida Keys.

Sterno is an insect repellant.

Lit? or applied directly to the skin.... then lit?

state...
