Arizona Congressional Candidate Compares Entitlements To Slavery

http://thinkprogress.org/election/2014/03/13/3402081/arizona-candidate-entitlements-slavery/


Arizona congressional candidate Jim Brown (R) compared entitlements to slavery in a Facebook post Wednesday, explaining that entitlements give politicians “power over the people allowing them to control us” much like slave owners that “took pretty good care of their slaves and livestock.”

I thought slave owners kept slaves enslaved by terrorizing them and the families through death, dismemberment and the whip. Now, the ironically named, John Brown, tells me it was done by giving the slaves free stuff!

I really should read different history books.

I guess hatred, willful ignorance and blind party loyalty trump intelligence and human decency nowadays.

And, had their chauffeurs park their BMWs beside their cabins. Just like all those welfare queens do today.

fucking assholes. If they weren't stealing the country blind, much fewer people would need those entitlements to put food on their family.
