    this is just more progressive propaganda to try and rally their base. All the left really knows is class warfare. Cause it seems to work for the ill-informed.

    I do not recall any conservative that stated all homeless men are simply too lazy to work and are therefore the sole cause of their own homelessness. Perhaps you could provide a link. I am real sure most if not all conservatives also believe that substance abuse is a huge contributing factor, as well.

    1. You don't really KNOW that.
    2. What's wrong with a political party rallying their voter base? (It isn't as though the Right doesn't do the same.)

    I've offered dudes holding up signs along I-10 day work for $125 a day, and the handful times I was turned down. Does that paint a complete picture of homeless folks, and their work ethic? Nope, probably not even close. I'm sure there's plenty of folks who would jump at the chance for a day's wage. But that hasn't been my experience.

    You're not seeing the big picture either. Not every person on the streets is a helpless victim of circumstance. Does that mean people shouldn't show compassion towards them, of course not. But there are folks out there who choose not too try and better their situation.

    I ABSOLUTELY KNOW that! And nothing wrong with the progressive/socialist rallying their base. It tells me ALOT about their base though.

    No, you do not really "KNOW"... but I can relate to you thinking that is so.

    Nothing wrong with it, except when it destroys the Fabric of the Union itself. The Left has historically, and of recent declared war against the United States of America. Particularly the Left has crowned that only "certain" Americans are "treated unfairly", and as such, are qualified to certain "special rights" that the majority of Americans either don't need or aren't racially/economically qualified for.

    The Left of course doesn't even believe States exist(or to be precise, they don't "have rights"). So why call this a "United States of"? Indeed, to the Left it is "America", an "America" that will be a leftist borghive under the ideal of being a "progressive".

    Make no mistake: The Left will continue to engage in class warfare and racial division. From the standpoint of "November", it allows these intellectually challenged people to get elected(which is all they care about), as far as "governance" is concerned, we know they'll rule by decree, lambasting the weakness of "minorities" but their solutions will do nothing for minorities.

    Because of course without a perceived enemy, the Left cannot be elected. Ironically, this means that if the Right is totally defeated, Leftist rule will weaken should the state of affairs not improve. Which is why the Left wants RINO'S.

    They're being used for the perception of "opposition". They want you to believe a "Republican House" or a "Republican Senate" weakens them. But this isn't the case if those same Republicans are loyal to Democratic interests.

    Perfect example: Bush Administration. The Housing Act, No child left behind and the bailouts were largely Liberal-oriented. But since Bush passed them, the Liberal can lie and say: It wasn't our idea!

    But Ms. Pelosi let the cat out of the bag when she said "We didn't treat Bush that badly". Of course not, he passed key Liberal initiatives. There are 50 Jobs bills that the Left can look at, AT any time. But because they're Republican initiatives, I highly doubt we'll see them looked at.

    Republicans, independents, etc must use our OWN propaganda to point out how in 6 years, this Liberal parliament has failed to create jobs. According to a Clinton Aide in 1993, HC "reform" meant more than whether Americans were employed.

    The Left believes this today in 2014, only we can now say that "Immigration Reform", "Gun Control", "Minimum Wage increases" means more than Jobs!

    The Left's war against ALL Americans is unrelenting and persistent. Now's the time, for those of us opposed to Social Tyranny to give these anti-Americans a Pink Slip!

    We're the CEOS of this country, and at best the Left is a crappy employee. At worst, the Left deliberately sabotages the well-being of the USA. Just so they can get elected again!

    Hence the difference in our ideologies. I know what I know, and you THINK you know what I know.

    No, not really. If you can support that massive claim with some reliable source or two... I'd be more apt to consider your opinion.

    The company I was working for (construction) offered a guy about 30 years old a job in 2004. He was holding one of those card board signs, "Homeless, will work for food". We offered him a job at the same rate we were getting (union, we have to) and he asked, "How much do you make a day". At the time it was about $150 a day and he laughed at us and said, "I'm making $350 a day doing this and I don't have to pay taxes". Now, Pard, I don't know about you but that tore it for me.

    Hey, hotrod, do you have a person in your family that's homeless??? I did. And why??? Because he was a self medicated paranoid schizophrenia. The State can't hold him for more than 72 hours without his permission (Thank you ACLU), and after 4 years on the road he couldn't stand to be shut in a house. He couldn't hold a job and didn't want to. Claimed he made out alright on the the $1,000+ the Federal Government sent him each month in SSI. So don't sit there and lecture me on what we will do or will NOT do because you haven't the foggiest idea what your talking about.

    That might be what you don't understand. I stated an opinion based on the original posters dubious assertions. And I called it progressive propaganda. Now, you can disagree with my opinion. I don't care!

    one in five. that leaves four in five who are homeless for some reason other than the stresses of combat.

    I take it that math was hard for you in high school, eh?

    And I take it that you can't read very fast. If you would have bothered to see my post right above the one I sent you you would know that when offered a job there are those out there that turn it down. Also your 1 in 4??? And after talking to Vets that came out of WW1 and WW2 I feel that a LOT of the so called "Stresses of Combat" are an excuse. Yes, Hotrod, I did serve. I joined at the age of 17, how about yourself???

    And of course you know that for a fact because you personally interviewed them all. Listen, if you want to retain any credibility in your posts it helps not to throw out wild generalisations.

    I've heard that urban legend too. Even if it was true, how would he be a 'bum' by getting off his butt and working for a living?

    People who repeatedly call them "losers" (scroll up)...

    one in five was my number. And that number is vets who served now.... in Iraq and Afghanistan. Earlier in my life, the number was one in three and they were nearly all Vietnam vets... and republicans treated them with the same disdain as they treat vets today. And yes... I did serve. I raised my hand in 1968 and took off my Navy blues in 1993 and retired as an O-5. How does that stand up to YOUR service, "hotrod"?

    And that's where it stops, isn't it? Conservatives couldn't give two (*)(*)(*)(*)s what the reasons behind substance abuse might be; no, all they see is a dirty homeless guy to condemn. Because it's the easy way. The American Way. "I got mine, screw you, loser..."
    What these smug, self-satisfied idiots don't seem to be able to figure out is that nobody-including themselves-is immune to losing their home and livelihood.

    That really wouldn't be consistent with my observations. Not at all.

    Well you're either right or you're gullible. Nice when the choice is so simple.
