This year, one in seven Americans is on the food stamp rolls. The majority of them are white. Obama\u2019s loosening of eligibility requirements combined with the stagnant economy fueled the rise in dependency. \u201cFood stamp president\u201d is pithy shorthand for the very real entitlement explosion.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino;\">Democrats fumed when former GOP candidate Newt Gingrich bestowed the title on Obama and decried its purportedly racist implications. But who are the racists? As Gingrich scolded the aforementioned race troll Chris Matthews last week: \u201cWhy do you assume food stamp refers to blacks? What kind of racist thinking do you have? You\u2019re being a racist because you assume they\u2019re black!\u201d Time to find a new code word.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino;\">You have to ask yourself whether you want a culture of dependency or a culture of self-reliance.&#0160;&#0160;What is so offensive about Obama and his ilk&#0160;is their undermining of such traditional American values as self-reliance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino;\">And as I said yesterday, many of these same liberals such as the &quot;race troll&#39; Chris Mathews got where they did in life precisely because of such virtues as self-reliance.&#0160; And yet they refuse to promote them and pass them on.&#0160; It shows the contempt they have for their clients such as blacks who keep them in power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia,palatino;\">If it hasn&#39;t happened already, some liberal will now besmirch the beautiful word &#39;self-reliance&#39; as racial code.&#0160; There is just no level of scumbaggery to which a leftist will not descend.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#0160;are her recent additions to the list.&#0160; &#0160;By the logic of the Left, cosmologists are racists because they study, among other things, black holes.
