Bauer: Needy 'owe something back' for aid

[47of74]

Source: The Greenville News

GREENVILLE - Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer has compared giving people government assistance to "feeding stray animals."

Bauer, who is running for the Republican nomination for governor, made his remarks during a town hall meeting in Fountain Inn that included state lawmakers and about 115 residents.

"My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed. You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better," Bauer said.

In South Carolina, 58 percent of students participate in the free and reduced-price lunch program.

7. Christian?

His comments sound like a true conservative christian to me.

64. Feeding & clothing, for centuries done by religious organizations,

now has been taken over by secular government. Where did Jesus take the Romans to task for not taking care of the poor?

In any case, DU is not the most welcoming place to advocate faith over government which makes your contributions somewhat less than voluntary. Writing that check to the state just doesn't engender the same charitable feelings - forced volunteerism isn't.

[bread_and_roses]

70. screw charity AND thinly disguised advocacy of the private over the public

responsibility to each other. Guess what, your "check to the state" is NOT about "charity" it is about our social responsibility to at least the equality of having food, shelter, clothes, and medical care. A guaranteed income would be a much better solution, since as it is we make those "in need" practically beg for aid the way some so-called christian helpers make the poor pray for their soup. I'm way too tired to write a treatise on why both our current system of government-sanctioned inequality AND private charity are both illegitimate instruements of the PTB, of the Oligarchy, of oppression and manufactured and institutionalized poverty and racism, but I am not too tired to let you know that I, and no doubt others, see right through your post.

[24601]

96. If you think Jesus was not talking about social responsibility and

social justice - then we aren't ever going to agree and leave it at that.

[No Elephants]

102. Leave Jesus out of it. You are not doing Him justice.

[bread_and_roses]

114. Who's talking about jesus? I'm referring to your advocacy of "faith over government"

Whatever jesus was talking about, any time "faith" was put "over government" his followers have practiced torture, murder, oppression, repression, book-burning - including the Great Library of Alexandria, making most of the world would remain in darkness for over 1000 years - in the service of themselves and the status quo. They have also virtually always - if not always, I can't think of any counter examples myself - supported Oligarchy and Dictatorship, using "faith" as a bludgeon to support the power of established inequality and social injustice around the globe.

Jesus may well have been talking about social responsibility, but if so he was not talking about "charity" which whatever brief relief it provides does not challenge the power structure that creates the need for relief.

Your touting "faith over government" and "charity" over - your comparison- the "forced volunteerism" of paying taxes sounds like some weird amalgamation of Theocracy and Free-Marketeer Libertarianism, and certainly has nothing to do with social justice.

[BreweryYardRat]

151. Actually, "Christians" only burned part of the Library.

A lot of it went up in smoke when Julius Caesar took Alexandria (well before Christ was even born), and I think some more of it was burned when Octavian/Augustus defeated Marcus Antonius and captured Egypt (again, well before the the birth of Christ).

"Christians" under a slobbering theocrat attacked it in the late 300s and did a lot of damage, but the Library was still kicking until the Muslim conquest of Egypt in the late 600s or early 700s, when a fanatical general and his pet imam finished it off.

The Library's destruction isn't as simple as "Christian fanatics" or even "monotheist fanatics."

84. Won't matter

And did you read the comments accompanying this story? There are more hungry people in this country right now than since the Great Depression, yet these rednecks agree with him. You cannot change the minds of people like this, so unless they find themselves in the same boat, you might as well talk to your favorite wall inside your house. There is a very serious and vicious bias against people in poverty, as if they all like struggling to put food on the table. As for having children when you can't afford them, as I've told my husband many times, if we all waited to have kids until we could afford them hardly anyone would ever be born. So absurd. You cannot allow children to go hungry if the parents don't attend parent-teacher conference time. What if single mom or dad has to work during the PTA meetings and will lose their low wage job if they take that time off to go? As for drug testing, if the parent tests positive for pot because Cousin Larry stopped by Saturday night and smoked a joint with them? Food stamps are cut off and the kids go hungry because of this as well? FUBAR.

2. if dems can't turn this into effective anti-republican ads they don't deserve to win

and that ad should run nationwide, pegged at the republican party as a whole, using this individual and incident as proof. but dems don't do that kind of thing because it's not bipartisan at any cost.

18. SC Dem Chair Calls on GOP to disavow Bauer's vulgarities

http://www.scdp.org/news/scdemsnews/348/

January 23, 2010
Columbia, S.C. - South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Carol Fowler on Saturday called on Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer and other Republican candidates for governor to apologize and disavow the immoral remarks made by Bauer. On Friday, Bauer told 115 people at a town hall meeting in Fountain Inn that providing reduced-price lunches to school children was like "feeding stray animals" and should be stopped.

"You know why? Because they breed," Bauer said in comments reported by The Greenville News. "You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better."

Fowler responded: "Andre Bauer's crude utterances once again reveal his immaturity and poor judgment. Bauer is a bachelor who has never once had to worry about feeding a child of his own. His notion of punishing children by not feeding them because their parents missed a PTA meeting flies in the face of basic South Carolina values.

"This is the same kind of crass vulgarity we have come to expect from South Carolina Republicans who have embarrassed our state like Mark Sanford, Rusty DePass and Joe Wilson.

"Moreover, they are part of a Republican establishment that has ruled every branch of South Carolina government since 2002. But instead of owning up to their failures and immoral behaviors, Bauer and his fellow Republicans act like teenagers who smirk and point the finger at others. They should know better. If Republicans want to find those to blame, it is well past time for them to look in the mirror."

[47of74]

21. I'm not holding my breath

For any one in the SC GOP to do so.

[Jackpine Radical]

25. Indeed--nor (as I'm sure you're aware) is that the point.

By not apologizing, by appearing thereby to endorse the incredible idiocy, the Republicans show themselves for what they are, in all their moral ugliness.

[treestar]

121. It's a good thing he hasn't reproduced

Though I'm sure he will eventually.

[alteredstate]

128. Oooooh, I don't think so....

eom

[geardaddy]

147. Expound please...

:D

[Bluerthanblue]

19. I'd give anything to have this man have to live the life of those he

thinks he is so superior to-

Animals also kill each other to eat Mr.Bauer. And they aren't 'elected' to office, nor can they inherit wealth-

:shrug:

what a pitiful human he is.

[LeftishBrit]

24. Actually...

even having to live such a life for a week might teach him a few things.

The former Conservative MP Michael Portillo accepted a challege to 'change lives' for a week with a working-class single mother, bringing up and feeding four children while doing two part-time low-paid jobs. He just about got through the week, and after that he moved noticeably from the Right to the centre.

Perhaps someone should mount a similar challenge to Bauer?

[NOLALady]

36. Perhaps that should be a requirement

of all politicians before taking office.

[LeftishBrit]

22. What a monster

And if I believed in hell, I would think that is *exactly* where he's going.

[Downwinder]

23. Looks like he has spent a good bit of time on the public teat. n/t

[SemperEadem]

26. but I'll bet he has no problems feeding corporations and allowing them to breed

he should never, ever in life be allowed any distance from this statement and his apology should never be accepted by right thinking people.

and because his grandmother was an uneducated, stupid woman, she bred and created one of his parents who is also stupid and they bred and had him.

so when the next hurricane hits South Carolina, those who agree with this sentiment?--don't feed them or give them water or help of any kind. Let them dig their own selves out of the mess, like this dude's uneducated, brood mare of a grandmother.

a-hole he must be getting his spiritual advise from Pat Robertson:puke:

33. That racist state keeps producing some real pieces of work

General Seherman was much too lenient with them in 1864-65 in my view.

[saigon68]

42. Sherman's March to the Sea---aAAH YES

The March to the Sea was devastating to Georgia and the Confederacy. Sherman himself estimated that the campaign had inflicted $100 million in destruction, about one fifth of which "inured to our advantage" while the "remainder is simple waste and destruction." The Army wrecked 300 miles (480 km) of railroad and numerous bridges and miles of telegraph lines. It seized 5,000 horses, 4,000 mules, and 13,000 head of cattle. It confiscated 9.5 million pounds of corn and 10.5 million pounds of fodder, and destroyed uncounted cotton gins and mills. Military historians Herman Hattaway and Archer Jones cited the significant damage wrought to railroads and Southern logistics in the campaign and stated that "Sherman's raid succeeded in 'knocking the Confederate war effort to pieces'."

David J. Eicher wrote that "Sherman had accomplished an amazing task. He had defied military principles by operating deep within enemy territory and without lines of supply or communication. He destroyed much of the South's potential and psychology to wage war."

[underpants]

34. Hey ANDRE do you have any why or when the school lunch program began... do you?

http://journals.democraticunderground.com/underpants/146

President Harry S. Truman began the national school lunch program in 1946 as a measure of national security.

He did so after reading a study that revealed many young men had been rejected from the World War II draft due to medical conditions caused by childhood malnutrition. Since that time more than 180 million lunches have been served to American children who attend either a public school or a non-profit private school.

In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson extended the program by offering breakfast to school children. It began as a two years pilot program for children in rural areas and those living in poorer neighborhoods. It was believed that these children would have to skip breakfast in order to catch the bus for the long ride to school. There were also concerns that the poorer families could not always afford to feed their children breakfast. Johnson believed, like many of us today, that children would do better in school if they had a good breakfast to start their day. The pilot was such a success that it was decided the program should continue. By 1975, breakfast was being offered to all children in public or non-profit private school. This change was made because educators felt that more children were skipping breakfast due to both parent being in the workforce. +
http://www.educationbug.org/a/the-history-...

In 1906 two books were published: Poverty and The Bitter Cry of the Children. These two books were the first to examine the link between poor nutrition and the resulting negative impact on learning and productivity. By 1913, School Lunches were operating in 30 cities and 14 states. However by 1918 and the beginning of WWI, the realization of how desperate the youth of America was painfully obvious. Enormous numbers of young men could not enter the military due to poor physical condition related to malnutrition. By 1919 2930 schools were now receiving hot lunches.
http://ilunchbox.com/articles/history-of-t...

The first school lunch program in the United States started in New York, in 1853 serving meals to students attending “The Children’s Aid Society of New York” a vocational school (http://www.cde.state.co.us/cdenutritran/do... ). In 1904, Robert Hunter wrote a book “Poverty.” This book had a strong influence on the citizens of the United States who felt there was a great need to feed hungry, needy children. Hunter was greatly concerned about academic performance of children in schools. Teachers became alarmed at the number of students arriving at school without a nutritious meal because many students came from poor families who could not afford breakfast meals.

At the time of World War II, enlisted soldiers were showing signs of under weight and malnutrition. During these findings, the doctors who were examining these potential soldiers denied enlistment because of malnutrition. The Truman Administration attempted to address this problem of malnourished recruits along with other concerns about federally funded school lunch programs along with the lack of commodities providing assistance after their agreement during World War II. Congress and President Truman noticed parallels between malnutrition with young men and school lunch programs.
http://www.healthmad.com/Nutrition/History...

In 1941 America was barely more than twenty years from the First World War. People were toughened by the struggle for survival in the 1930's Depression. In 1940, 40% of draftees were rejected, most of them because of malnutrition, bad teeth and eyesight--all results of the Depression. Many new soldiers came from farms in rural America where a familiarity with guns was necessitated by subsistence hunting.
http://www.museumofworldwarii.com/Homefron...

The National School Lunch Program

During World War II, many U.S. draftees were found to be malnourished to such an extent that they were turned down for military service. The realization of this low nutritional state of the general population led to the passage of the National School Lunch Act (NSLA) in 1946, which established the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) in elementary and secondary schools. This landmark legislation, although amended many times, continues in force today, with its original objectives still in place. These objectives are "to safeguard the health and well-being of the Nation's children, and to encourage the domestic consumption of nutritious agricultural commodities and other food."

38. THIS is why Sanford kept his job!

Sanford would have been out on his ass had this piece of right wing shit not been waiting to take the job.

People in SC need to pay much closer attention to who's running for the second spot on the ticket. Bauer was just job security for Sanford, nothing more.

I doubt this sack of shit will get far, but I could be mistaken. South Carolina is like another planet sometimes.

71. thank you. as soon as I read his statements, I realized why sanford was not impeached.

apparently, even the repukes are not quite stupid enough to want him in charge.

I wonder what his little proclivity is--my guess is it isn't "hking the old appalachian trail" but something really down and dirty.

[shadowknows69]

40. He's fucking kidding right?

If you get off social services you are actually required in some cases to pay back what you have been given. It's part of what makes it nearly impossible to actually get ahead if you find yourself in need of help.

87. It is a problem, and so are the solutions that jackasses come up with

The resources of the world are finite, and suffering quite a bit because of our excess numbers. The lack of solutions doesn't make that any less true.

My only position is that if someone were to come up with a solution to the population problem (which effects us all - rich and poor, as well as impacting every other species on earth), if someone were to come up with a solution or a direction to a solution that was fair and equitable and effective, and didn't sound like the regular master-race jack-assery, I would listen.

Told him if Bauer was a Democrat and Sheheen was a Republican they'd campaign on this statement until the voters thought Bauer had one plank in his platform: not feeding the poor so they won't breed. Then I told him to do it himself.

Fuck this "I'd rather lose with honor than get down in the mud" shit. Remember what Sam Malone told Eliot Ness in the movie version of "The Untouchables"? You wanna know how to get the Republicans?

how assistance works, the hoops people have to jump through, the time it takes, NOTHING. he is an arrogant, ignorant, hate-mongering bigot. I wish he would have to live in the circumstances he so lightly dismisses, with never a hope of getting out of it.

I truly wish I believed in hell, because that is where he clearly belongs.

does anybody have a pic of him in his white hood?

[depakid]

79. does anybody have a pic of him in his white hood?

No, but here he is after having shot himself in the foot.

[niyad]

78. can somebody tell me what the HELL this statement means:

"You see, for the first time in the history of this country, we've got more people voting for a living than we do working for a living."

I just thought of something. as lt gov, does he have to vote for anything? wasn't he referring to all the politicians, of which he is one?

[No Elephants]

106. Yeah, too many folks turning down all those jobs out there in favor of welfare. What a twit!

[tularetom]

80. Andre Bauer said that? I thought you meant JACK Bauer

[burning rain]

81. These are what one calls "tumbril remarks."

.

[BrklynLiberal]

92. Thanks for teaching me something new today.

Tumbrel remarks

Christopher Hitchens is an expert on the tumbrel remark.

A tumbrel remark is an unguarded comment by an uncontrollably rich person, of such crass insensitivity that it makes the workers and peasants think of lampposts and guillotines. I can give you a few for flavor. The late queen mother, being driven in a Rolls-Royce through a stricken district of Manchester, England, said as she winced at the view, "I see no point at all in being poor." The Duke of St. Albans once told an interviewer that an ancestor of his had lost about 50 million pounds in a foolish speculation in South African goldfields, adding after a pause, "That was a lot of money in those days." The Duke of Devonshire, having been criticized in the London Times, announced in an annoyed and plaintive tone that he would no longer have the newspaper "in any of my houses."

[No Elephants]

107. Tumbrel remark: C. Hichens using the term "peasants" to mean folks poorer than British royalty.

Sorry, but ya gotta love the irony.

[Blue_Tires]

112. thanks for this...great term

i need to remember it

[47of74]

127. We had that here

With Barbara Bush and her going on about how the people of New Orleans were underprivileged.

[BrklynLiberal]

137. Exactly!!!!

[Lorien]

82. How Republican of him. I'll bet he calls himself a Christian too

yet somehow he missed all the teachings of Jesus Christ.

[CherokeeDem]

83. OH...F$#k...

I am tearing up my birth certificate. I do not wish to be associate with this state any longer. I need to find Orly Taitz and see about getting a fake birth certificate.

South Carolina...how disgusting.

However, don't forget that a lot of the Republicans in SC didn't want the governor to leave office because even they think Bauer is a nut case. Damn, pretty bad when that pot is calling the kettle black.

[Odin2005]

85. Sicl fuck.

[47of74]

86. Bauer is defending his earlier comments...

Andre Bauer had this to say about his earlier comments;

"There's no way that I was trying to tie animals to people, but what I was trying to talk about is the dependency culture, and just like when you feed an animal, you create a dependency," he said.

He wasn't trying to tie animals to people?

[Divine Discontent]

88. SADLY - well on his way!!!! Christians all over the world (esp outside the US) clothe the naked &

feed the hungry. This man is a DISGUSTING bigot and needs told so by some Pastors! Get to it clergy!

[proud2BlibKansan]

89. Wow. Their evil never ceases to amaze me.

[BrklynLiberal]

90. Wow. Talk about compassionate and Christ-like!!!

I fervently hope that man is down to his last dime one day..and the people around him just step over him as he pleads for help.

Whatya disgrace to the human race!!!

[dflprincess]

105. Why is it these wing-nuts, who all deny evolution

are the biggest advocates of survival of the fittest?

[No Elephants]

108. Those with money, anyway. Not necessarily the fittest.

[area51]

109. "Because they breed."

I knew I'd heard that type of sentiment before (not counting the original nazis in Germany).

"Governor Evans issued a general proclamation dispatched to the Indian camps by messengers, ordering all peaceful Indians to assemble at Fort Lyon. Those Indians who did not comply with the order would be killed. The order authorized the citizens of Colorado Territory to go in pursuit of all hostile Indians of the plains... kill and destroy, as enemies of the country, wherever the Indians may be found. Colonel Chivington responded in kind. In a Denver speech, in August of 1864, Chivington is quoted as saying, '...kill and scalp all, little and big... nits make lice.' He was applauded, and the phrase became the slogan among his fighting regiment."

113. Maybe we should start treating the bankers like stray animals and stop feeding them.

[ixion]

116. Unfortunately, his grandmother didn't take her own advice, and bred

a spawn that would breed a cretin like this.

[Vinca]

117. What do you want to bet this horrible individual is in the front pew this morning?

[bamacrat]

118. He needs to stop eating as do all conservatives and fundamentalist christians.

Imagine if he all of a sudden had everything taken away from him by something that he could not have seen coming and couldnt have prepared for. He would be begging for help. He is an industrial sized douche.

[treestar]

119. If they were white I bet he would have no problem with it

then it would be "feed them so they can breed."

Asshole.

I don't suppose a reverse Brown is possible here and that SC will shock us all and elect a Democrat.

[PerpetuallyDazed]

125. WTF? A$$backwards = Bauer: More people vote than work.

"You see, for the first time in the history of this country, we've got more people voting for a living than we do working for a living." -- From that article.

126. South Carolina is the worst of the worst of southern states

It might be a little sharp, but it will only matter for a second or two.

152. S.C. Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer Compares Helping Poor to Feeding Stray Animals

Source: CBS News

South Carolina Lt. Governor Andre Bauer, who hopes to succeed fellow Republican Mark Sanford as his state's governor, drew a comparison between government help for poor people and "feeding stray animals" – who, he noted, "breed."

"My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals," Bauer said during a town hall meeting, as the Greenville News reported over the weekend. "You know why? Because they breed. You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better."

As the Greenville News notes, more than half of the students in South Carolina participate in a program that allows them to get their lunch for free, or at a reduced cost.

Bauer later said he wasn't saying those who receive government help "were animals or anything else."
