Jeremy Grad, wrote this one in Saturday's Times Liberal:
"George and Megan want to give their three children a Christmas to remember, but with winter closing in and the temperatures dropping, they’d settle for being able to provide the basics – new winter coats and shoes." OK Jeremy you got my attention but why should I give a damn?
"Before being laid off, George was employed full time by an area Internet service provider for two years. In the year since then, he’s been taking jobs through temporary employment agencies. In a good week, he gets 35 hours of work, he said." I know the job market sucks here, but it shouldn't take a year to find a full-time job. With 3 kids stop dreaming George and get anything you can full time. Once you have a steady paycheck you can start looking around for your dream job. Now I'm not sure if this guy is lazy or just plain stupid. I'm not feeling bad for him at all.
"With his limited income, George, 37, said it is “virtually impossible” to support a family." Duh! A maximum of 35 hours/week with 3 kids? Nothing steady for a year? So what are you George Lazy or stupid? I wonder if he's married and if so what does she do?
"Megan, 29, is a stay-at-home mom, raising the couple’s son and twin daughters." Admirable but stupid. Your husband's either too lazy or stupid or both to land a full time job and you're not willing to pull any weight for your family. Your oldest son is 8 and goes to school. He doesn't need you to stay home if you're broke. The article also says that you have two daughters who go to Head Start preschool. This is a free program for you thanks to my tax dollars. So what's you're f*cking excuse for not working? Are you afraid that getting a job will jeopardize your ability to work the system? WOMAN PUT THE POTATO CHIPS DOWN THAT YOU BOUGHT WITH YOUR ACCESS CARD GET YOUR FAT ASS OFF THE COUCH AND GET A F*CKING JOB. WHILE YOU'RE AT IT KICK YOUR HUSBAND'S ASS FOR ME FOR NOT BEING A REAL MAN AND SUPPORTING HIS FAMILY.
“There are times when we have to decide which bill is more important to pay so we can keep food on the table for the kids,” said George, Who doesn't at times? Welcome to the real world. But don't fret there's a solution to your problems: George come over my house so I can give you a well needed kick in the ass and I'll give your wife the classified section to today's paper. Oh and the putting food on the table comment - I don't buy it. You're probably toting around an Access card.
"as he and the family sat in their living room near a kerosene heater. The home’s heating system was broken, and they were awaiting its repair." I feel bad for your kids. Not only are they going to freeze this winter but you're setting a bad example for them by showing them it's OK to be lazy and stupid. Maybe concerned citizens should do them a favor and call Child Services.
"Megan, George and their children are among 11 families and individuals profiled in The Times Leader/Luzerne Foundation Book of Dreams holiday campaign, an annual project to help area residents with special needs. This year’s fundraising goal is $31,478. Readers can make financial contributions by using the accompanying clip-out form. If you want your donation to be directed to a specific person or family, please note that on the form. Those dreams will be fulfilled first." Don't count on it George and Megan.
“It’s a struggle, but we survive,” said Megan, who serves as the glue that keeps the family together. She bluntly stated that “my babies are my world.” Then why the hell do you put your 4 year olds in day care especially on my tax dollars? On top of that you don't work!!! What's the point in putting them in day care if you're not going to work? What soap opera is that important? The only glue in your home is the one stuck between your fat lazy ass and the couch.
"George Jr., 8, is the oldest of the couple’s children. The third-grader earns straight-A’s, despite having been diagnosed with behavioral issues while in kindergarten. " Proof that the parents are lazy and the mother doesn't care about her kids. Her Access card probably pays for potato chips and other junk foods which cause children to become overweight and/or slow brain function. Studies indicate that certain preservatives and additives in junk foods can lead to behavioral problems in children. Another cause of behavioral problems in children are the parents' lack of willingness to discipline their kids. ADHD wasn't present in children 30 or 50 years ago when daddy's belt hung on the doorway.
"He also plays fullback and outside linebacker in a youth football league. His father is a volunteer coach." You have the time and money to put your kid in football and drive him to games but not for heat. Yeah, you have your priorities straight. So, how much beer do you have at home George?
"Autumn and Kaitlyn, the twins, are 4 years old. They attend preschool through the Luzerne County Head Start program. Their mother said Head Start has been “a rock” for the girls. After the first week (at Head Start) we noticed such a change,” Megan said. “They were singing their ABC’s and counting. They developed a lot of good friendships, and it’s getting them ready for kindergarten.” Thanks to my tax dollars. So what do you do all day when the kids are at Head Start and school? Why can't you get a job with all that spare time you have?
"Ryan Hogan, the family’s caseworker at Head Start, nominated the family for The Times Leader’s annual Book of Dreams program. He knew they were having trouble keeping their heat on, getting clothing and replacing essentials. George Jr., for instance, sleeps on a bed with metal springs jutting out the sides." OK. Why is the bed in such bad shape? Is this from the kid's "behavioral" problems or because the mattress wore out two years ago when George supposedly had the money to replace it? Basically, what does this come down to: bad parenting or bad parenting?
“For their own health it’s necessary that they have food in their stomachs, warm clothes,” said Hogan, “and toys for Christmas, so they can experience all the things that other children have.” I agree. The access card pays for food. Salvation Army for clothes. Christmas taken care of although not fancy. Maybe the parents need to look at their situation stop blaming other people for their own laziness and stupidity and find full time jobs.
"The family, whose members relocated here from upstate New York, has lived in Wilkes-Barre for most of the last five years. George has a background in automobile mechanics." An he can't find a job or do side work?
"He and Megan read to their daughters every night, they said." The parents can read!! Wonderful!!! Read the f*cking classifieds!!!
"The parents’ biggest wish this holiday season, Megan said, is to have new beds and warm clothing for the children. “For starters, they’ll have a better night’s sleep,” she said. “They’ll get a good night’s rest and be ready to go to school in the morning.” Great! Go to work and get your kids what they need.
"The family has little money for toys, and recent holidays have been sparse. Autumn and Kaitlyn, who often wear second-hand clothing a few sizes too large, each want a Leapster Learning Game System – a hand-held device that plays interactive educational games. The gaming system will allow the girls to build on their skills and get ready to start elementary school." Bullsh*t!!! Preschool should be enough to prepare the kids for school. Wha other handouts do these bums want?

God I miss the days of Ronald Reagan, a time when Republicans accentuated the positive of being an american. Not tearing others apart and ranting like a liberal. While your views are conservative your tactics are liberal. Thanks to the likes of you, the day of America being a shining city on the hill is dead.
Hopefully there will be another conservative republican who sells hope not hate, I fear that day is too far in the future.
I liked Reagan and God bless the man for being who he was: the best damn President and most influential leader of the 20th century.
This is not the 1980s anymore though and the liberals became a machine since then. They are constantly attacking the American ideal of hard work ethic and earning what you have.
What you call selling hate is what I call pointing out what's wrong with American society thanks to the libs who are trying to erase your identity as a free individual. As long as voters remain stupid enough to elect people like Charlie Rangel Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton there will be no hope for us.
Instead of fessing up to their own mistakes and trying to change their situation George and Megan are trying to take advantage of our tax dollars and the kindness of people during the holiday season. What's wrong with telling people like these to wake up get a job and stop mooching off others? There is a fine line between a charity case and a sheer handout - these people crossed it.
Someone needs to be out there expressing the rage and anger that the informed conservative has over the entire anti-American liberal agenda. Being nice and polite to point out how liberalism ius destroying America is as effective as using diplomacy with terrorists.
