GOP'S (KOCHSUCKERS) MALICE TOWARD THE DISABLED

                         GOP HOUSE MEMBERS ARE CHILD MOLESTERS

I've been trying to figure out the conservative GOP mentality for years concerning the question of their neglect, if not contempt,  for those whom  Jesus called "the least amongst us." He taught that we have a special obligation to alleviate their suffering.  I have sometimes thought that it's just willful ignorance of the results of their legislation,  as it effects the poor, that explains how the conservative brain works.    For example,  GOP food stamp cuts have resulted in the reduction of expenditures for meals for children from an average of $1.50 to $1.40.  The Farm Bill supported by the Republicans in the House would further reduce money available for children's meals. (I could give numerous citations and details here, but I've already done that in other posts available to the reader.)

Actually, the GOP conservatives are child molesters.

Yes,  the GOP, particularly in the House of Representatives, is guilty of child abuse.  They are forcing children to go to bed hungry at night.   But, of course, they are child molesters at a distance; they don't literally take the food out of the mouths of infants and children, but what they do amounts to the same thing.   But they know not what they do, right?  It's just willful ignorance?  I've concluded, no.  There is a malice and loathing for the poor in GOP legislation,  the results of which only a Charles Dickens could bring to life.  The consequences of food deprivation in children are constantly in the newspapers and on the internet, particularly in terms of the ability of hungry children to be educated.

John Boehner and other GOP House members are literate, right?  They know, of course they know what they do.

In the New York Times today there is a story today about a woman who lives in a poor, tough, crime-ridden neighborhood.  She has a disability that necessitates here walking with a cane.  But when she walks the neighborhood streets she will not carry a cane because to do so would indicate that disability, that weakness and vulnerability to an attack.  So, because of the fear of being mugged she walks unaided.

The poor in America are vulnerable, particularly the children.  They do not vote.  They are small and weak.  In their own way, they too are disabled.  They carry the visible walking stick of helplessness, of neediness  and are easily mugged.   GOP House members are not merely indifferent onlookers.  It is they who are the muggers.   It is they who make Christ weep.
