Conservatives erupt after Sheila Jackson Lee mentions “entitlements” that “are earned”

Houston Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee has the conservative blogosphere in a tizzy again today. The target of right-wing wrath is the liberal Democrat’s contention that Congress should look “carefully at how we reform entitlements that are not handouts but they are earned.” Video of Jackson Lee’s speech quickly ricocheted around the Internet. Comments on a Fox News blog post were almost universally negative: The Houston lawmaker was labeled “a disgrace” and “increasingly appalling.” Some critics immediately assumed that Jackson Lee was talking about “welfare” programs, Food Stamps and other social safety net programs that are frequently deemed “entitlements” in the bureaucratic language of Washington. But two of the three “entitlements” mentioned in her speech are not means-tested programs but government guarantees to elderly Americans who pay into the trust funds for those programs through their entire on-the-job earnings. The third, Medicaid, is a government health-care program that largely benefits the poor. Here’s what Jackson Lee said on the House floor: Read the Full Story Here:

Have I ever mentioned that we really DO have some very STUPID Dem/Libbers here in Texas?

I know … who would think such a thing, but the fact of the matter is this; we have a lot more morons like Sheila Jackson Lee than we need. They are everywhere lately; City government, County government, State of Texas government and in this case, another moonbat sent to the Halls of Congress.

Here’s the thing you have to realize, if the State of Texas were in need of an enema, right about Houston is where they would insert the nozzle.

Think about it for a minute.

Seriously, Sheila Jackson Lee represents her district quite well, she is what she represents and she is the epitome of STUPID, just like her constituents.

Yeah, I know … it was meant to be!
