Massachusetts Welfare Recipients Given Cars

This is unreal, but another example of the creeping Socialist/Marxist direction America is going in. In the Radical Neo-Marxist state of Massachusetts, Gov. Deval Patrick is giving cars to welfare recipients.

Free cars for poor fuel road rage

Gov. Deval Patrick’s free wheels for welfare recipients program is revving up despite the stalled economy, as the keys to donated cars loaded with state-funded insurance, repairs and even AAA membership are handed out to get them to work.

But the program – fueled by a funding boost despite the state’s fiscal crash – allows those who end up back on welfare to keep the cars anyway.

“It’s mind-boggling. You’ve got people out there saying, ‘I just lost my job. Hey, can I get a free car, too?’ ” said House Minority Leader Brad Jones (R-North Reading).

This just pisses me off. Why should the government give away cars to people collecting money from tax payers? This is wrong and setting a bad example. Why not provide everyone with HDTVs and Blu-Ray Players also? Why stop at cars, how about a free boat also? This is disturbing, but it seems the public wants this.

College Divests From Israel, First in Country…

I hope there is no domino effect. From Weasel Zippers:

Massachusetts: College Divests From Israel, First in Country…..

Zip says: Anyone from Massachusetts is familiar with the insane moonbats who permeate the Amherst area in the western part of the state. So this doesn’t come as any surprise to us…..

The Hampshire College Board of Trustees voted to transfer assets from a fund that invests in corporations that contribute to the Israeli occupation of Palestine, making Hampshire the first institution of higher education in the U.S. to divest.

This historic decision came as a result of from Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), a group formed at Hampshire in 2006. According to a statement from Sigmund Roos, chair of the Board of Trustees, the board reviewed the college’s investments to address a petition from SJP.

Among the corporations that Hampshire will divest from are United Technologies, which produces Blackhawk helicopters and engines for F-15 and F-16 fighter jets that Israel uses to kill Palestinians, and Caterpillar, which supplies Israel with bulldozers that the Israel Defense Force (IDF) uses to destroy Palestinian homes, orchards and olive groves in clearing land for illegal settlements and the “Separation Barrier” apartheid wall.
